The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 819 For the Valley Kingdom
Now William and his party are facing a big problem. There is a huge fleet blocking their way, and the fleet is coming towards them. Even if William and the others abandon the ship directly, the problem of that fleet will still not be solved. .

The Moon Sea Fleet headed by the Zhentil Fort people was not organized to put on airs. If they really crossed the Rees River and entered the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars, they would definitely drink blood and eat flesh. Several coastal port towns, such as Genggu Town and Scar Valley Town, will inevitably suffer first.

It is said that when the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up. Although William doesn't know much about the countries and city-state forces around the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, he knows that if the huge fleet standing in front of them really rushes into the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, No one can withstand it at all, and no one will go hard, including the Kingdom of Sambia, which started with sailing.

This fleet is not the same concept as the Ruiyin that rushed past earlier. Although the Ruiyin is strong, it basically can't make a big deal with that battleship alone, including the divine power golem carried by the Ruiyin. The thing is indeed very strong, but no matter how strong it is, there are special existences to deal with it. The opponent of a god is always a god, so William will not run out to disrupt the situation.

But for the fleet gathered in Yulin Town, unless William himself took action, I am afraid that there really is no other big and tall man who can stand up to the momentum.

William is not a pure mindless warrior, he also has his own strategic plan.In his plan, when the Valley Kingdom is fully established, shipping will be the most important artery driving the development of the Valley, which is a hundred times more important than the channel repair plan that the Valley is currently implementing.

Speaking of the Chidao repair plan, in fact, William directly used the development experience of his hometown in his previous life. "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads." "The premise of development is transportation." These are all truths that have been verified by practice .

Not to mention the ingenious political strategy of the ancient ancestor dragon and the first emperor when he kneaded the ruling power of different regions and different customs.

The book is the same text, the car is the same track.

Repair the Chi Road and open the Lingqu.

Although hundreds of armed sailors and soldiers were stationed on these ships, they had no choice but to scream and jump into the icy Rees River one by one in the face of the sudden flames, otherwise they could only wait to be burned to death by the flames. coke.

The Moon Sea Fleet assembled in Yulin Town did not make William wait for too long. It seemed that under the order of some kind of existence (guessed from the scouts), they quickly set sail and rushed into the In the waterway of the Rees River.

But after the boat capsized, the spellcaster fell into the water like an ordinary person, and was soon filled with muddy mud (from the river bottom silt raised by the flame explosion), and was easily taken away by William .

William retracted his toes leisurely, as if the murderer who kicked the opponent's knee just now was someone else.

Before the fire started, William first rode Mo Xiao to personally inspect the target on one side. Hundreds of two-masted or three-masted sailing warships slipped away at the entrance of the Rees River and the Moon Sea, although they were not comparable to those giant steel ships in the previous life. Power, but the momentum is not small.

The premise of all this is that William and his Valley Kingdom can completely subdue or even eliminate the sea forces in the two major sea areas of the Moon Sea and the Falling Star Sea, allowing themselves to occupy an absolute dominant position.

William's plan was very successful, at least initially.The flaming phoenix didn't even need to make any movements, it only needed to brush its body over those ships, and almost everything that could burn, such as wooden decks, masts, cables, sails, etc., ignited a raging fire.

Of course, these issues are not what William needs to consider. His main task now is to burn the large fleet of the Moon Sea that entered the Rees River.

Speaking of that, William grabbed the second finger of the other party, which carried a copper ring inlaid with gemstones. William squeezed the ring with two fingers, and the other party's maintenance heel was crushed together with it. The index finger is as delicate as a woman's finger.

However, a figure wearing a billowing black cloak appeared in William's line of sight. Even from a distance, William could feel the ominous aura on the other person's body, representing the stench of dead corpses.

When Sumayati heard this, his anxious pupils suddenly dilated, and he said in a panic: "I can't say it, sir. Really! If I say it, I will die! The great Lord of the Dead will punish me !"

If it's done well, William doesn't even need to use the massively destructive move of [Nuclear Phoenix].

The waves created by the flame explosion directly overturned a brig in the deep water area of ​​the Rees River, and the remaining ships were also smashed to pieces by the shock wave, and several of them were stranded on the shallow water.

Later, Captain Roberts accepted the recruitment of Manson, the chief boss of the Zhentarim Society, because Manson gave him a super battleship made entirely of holy oaks—that is, weir trees—the Sharp Silver.

It's a bit unreasonable that these people can use spells, and it seems that they are not limited in number of times.

Baloriel Roberts is one of the most important confidantes of Archmage Manshoon, and his main duty is to lead the Sharp Silver to maintain the Zhentil Castle's dominant position in the Moon Sea.

At this time, the sky is already slightly bright, and the scene in the distance can be seen vaguely.

In this world, William is not the only person (or other existence) who possesses the power of cursefire. For example, in a tavern in the deep forest valley, there is another girl who is born to use cursefire.

Fortunately, William's plan soon got a chance to be realized.

The construction of the Chidao is conducive to the stability and unity of the valley, but it is difficult for the valley to achieve real development. After all, no matter how well the Chidao is repaired, it is still limited by the means of transportation, unless William can develop a steam engine, or come up with a magical version rail transport.

William dragged the prisoner, who was full of muddy water, to a place farther from the river bank, and then threw him on the ground.

He captured a prisoner who seemed to be of some status. The other party was wearing a silk robe embroidered with gold. Although he looked a little old, his skin and tender flesh were well maintained. Especially when he was on the boat, this guy was arrogant and bossy. , used more than once

Obviously, the current Lunar Sea Fleet is the first stumbling block that William needs to conquer.

At the price of a knee and two fingers, the poor captive finally confirmed his current situation.He gasped and said with a mournful face, "I am Sumayet Bainel from Centia, a priest who follows Bane, the Lord of Darkness."

And when a huge flame gate appeared from the void, and several burning phoenixes rushed out of it, only a small number of crew members of the ships gathered together were aware of the crisis.

At this time, William's purpose is not to destroy the ship, but to create chaos so that he can take the opportunity to touch his tongue.

Therefore, as it gradually penetrated into the waterway of the Rees River, the topographical interception of the tidal flat and swamp area gradually divided the Moon Sea Fleet into several disconnected segments.

Replacing punishment with labor, replacing relief with work, and driving development with infrastructure.

The so-called "touching the tongue" is a jargon, and the real meaning is to capture prisoners to torture intelligence.

Of course, the crux of the problem is not the remaining dozen warships, but the magic they use.

The prisoner screamed in shock and anger: "Damn bastard! Do you know who is in front of you? I am... ah!"

William nodded and said, "Very good, Mr. Sumayetti, your answer is a good start for us. Now tell me, why were you able to use spells on the ship earlier?"

When William twisted off the fifth finger of the priest, he finally realized that something was wrong. He stood up suddenly and turned his gaze towards the river bank in the dense forest.

William twisted off one of the captive's fingers casually, and said with a smile: "I really don't know who you are, sir. I hope you can tell me."

By the way, the sailors chasing the Spray salvaged a corpse from the Rees River. According to Captain Reddings' identification, the deceased should be the former captain of the Sharp Silver, Baloriel Roberts, an experienced pirate. King and slave owner.

Spells to punish soldiers and sailors who are in a hurry.

These policies do not seem gorgeous, but they have brought a unique stream of fresh air to the city-states in the valley that have just been conquered.Even in the most rebellious South Bow Valley and the most complicated Eastern Yotsuya, people behaved very tame. No one expressed opposition or confrontation to the new ruler. There may be some complaints, but the overall level of the valley is unprecedentedly stable and peaceful. unity.

William is very sure that the magic net is still disconnected, and his [Flame Gate] and a series of flame abilities are still severely suppressed.

Captain Roberts is known for being cold-blooded and cautious. He is smart, brave and decisive in combat.

But what is surprising is that although this seemingly weak-willed priest screamed miserably and even couldn't help crying, he still gritted his teeth and refused to answer. He just screamed in horror, "I will die! I will die!" dead!".

To remove this stumbling block, William seems to have a lot of means to use, whether it is using [Nuclear Phoenix] or [Raging Flame Breaking the Waves], in the final analysis, the power brought by the curse fire is enough. , Of course, it is also inseparable from William's development and application of cursefire.

He upholds the strategy of shocking them with power and anger, and enticing them with benefits, and implements strict rules and lenient treatment in management.

And to deal with a large fleet composed of a large group of classical sailing warships, fire attack is undoubtedly the most effective way.

William sneered and said, "If you don't say anything, you will die too, and you will go through a period of torture that is worse than death!" William twisted two of the captive's fingers as he spoke.

But it is unique to be able to use the curse fire as a tactical nuclear peace tool like William, at least no one in the main material world has been able to do it.

Boating on the Rees River at night requires sufficient care. Many times passing ships will choose to temporarily stop overnight, especially when two or three hundred large ships flood into the waterway of the Rees River, night sailing becomes a more dangerous choice.

William said softly to the prisoner: "Poor gentleman, I have a few questions for you to answer, I hope you can cooperate obediently. Of course, if you refuse to cooperate, I don't mind using some small tricks."

William admits that he is also somewhat inhumane when it comes to carrying out certain business operations.

During the investigation, William discovered that there is a tributary confluent in the north quarter of the middle section of the Rees River. Although most of the river condition of this tributary is still dominated by swamps and tidal flats, it may give William His plan to burn enemy ships created a tinge of uncertainty.

It wasn't that William was merciful and let the other party go, but that the vanguard fleet composed of more than a dozen ships was not easy to deal with. They unexpectedly used magic to defend and counterattack, and the Cursed Phoenix, which had been fighting fiercely all night, was not easy to deal with. But the energy attenuated is only the size of a horse, and the remaining energy is hard to cause much damage to the opponent.

Fortunately, William is also a person who knows how to be unreasonable. He enriched the energy of the Cursed Fire Phoenix and exploded directly on the water near the opponent's ship.

The clever captive soon realized that something was wrong. He pretended to be coughing hard, and was about to move, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his knee, and he couldn't help letting out a scream.

After consulting the two elven Pegasus knights who came to investigate together, and learned about the situation of the tributary of the Lys River, William decided to act according to the original plan.

William's target was a ship rather than a person, so he didn't care much about the enemies who jumped into the river to escape.He manipulated the curse fire phoenix to rush all the way along the Rees River, burning ships when encountering ships, and destroying ships when encountering ships. Almost overnight, he burned the entire Moon Sea fleet in sevens and eighties, leaving only The vanguard of a small fleet near Mishen Beach has not been affected yet.

"Touching the tongue" is also a commonly used tactic in the mercenary world, but the final torture process is a bit inhumane. Of course, this mainly depends on the degree of cooperation of the captured tongue, and it is also related to the moral level of the torturer.

The sudden death of Baloriel Roberts is undoubtedly good news for the Harper Alliance, which is almost completely opposed to the Zhentarim, but it is not known why this evil leader was killed.

William admired and imitated it, of course the imitation was general rather than specific implementation.The Qin law is notoriously strict, and William's foundation in the valley is shallow, so he couldn't learn it even if he wanted to.

But the shipping in the valley is by no means inferior to the invisible railway. If the three rivers and the two seas can be completely connected, the future prospects of the valley will definitely fly to the sky.

William stepped lightly on the prisoner's high-shrugged belly, and suddenly a stream of mud sprayed out from the prisoner's throat and nostrils. Accompanied by violent vomiting and coughing, the unfortunate prisoner gradually recovered a little spirit.

Another damn saint!
William hates encountering saints now, especially those ugly ones who look like no one at first glance, it is quite annoying.It looked disgusting, but he couldn't kill him, and he couldn't control him. Unless the other party violated William, he couldn't even interfere with the other party's evil deeds.

In the previous fight with the saints of the Sindrian pantheon, although William repelled them, he also received a warning from a certain boss, to the effect that William could no longer play sidelines. It belongs to the mainstream god system, but a group of foreign gods, so William's behavior of bullying and offending Shenwei will not be held accountable, but it must not be committed again in the future.

The saint who appeared suddenly came to William, he was involuntarily stunned for a moment, and then showed a terrifying appearance.A human-shaped skeleton-like existence, with wrinkled and scaly skin covered with gnarled sores and black chapped lips, and a cold, evil light shining in its eyes.

　Corrected.
