The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 845 Steel and Flames

What flame creatures like to do most is to ignite everything that can burn, whether it's trees, rocks (carbon) or living things.

Warriors of the flame department like to cover their weapons and armor with burning flames. When they hit the enemy with flame weapons, they are very intoxicated by the fun of burning the opponent's body with the high temperature of the flames.

But now William's flame servants seem to like another kind of game, a kind of "boom boom boom" dynamic joy.

If you are bored, "boom"!
I am happy, "boom"!
See who is not pleasing to the eye, "boom"!
Seeing the enemy in front, "Boom Boom Boom" a million times!
That's right!Just like another Waaagh guy next door who likes to play "bang bang" big firecrackers, the natives of the flame world also like "boom bang" big firecrackers.

The little flame cubs under William began to become a little abnormal after the flame giant was equipped with a hand cannon, a weapon with outstanding sound and light effects.

Whether it is the flame gnome, the fire dwarf, or the salamander, it seems that they have begun to covet this big toy that makes the adrenaline rush. The smaller the guy, the more he likes to play with the bigger caliber and more equivalent.

So when Moander was besieged by the Flame Legion, the first blow he faced was the heavenly justice from the Flame Griffin Knights in the sky.

Although Moander has just escaped from trouble, he is not alone. Around Moander, various mushroom creatures, slime creatures, twisted dryads, creepers, etc. continue to gather. Most of these monsters come from Deep in the ruins of Yurath, some also come from the surrounding wilderness.

It is precisely because of the existence of these monsters that Van der Longthorn and others could not even get close to the incarnation of the saint in Moander, and could only fall around and sigh in awe.

Even in a timeline without William, these monsters almost drained the blood of the elves in the Cormanthor jungle.

But today, these twisted, ugly monsters are having a bad day.

Of course it's the enemy's weapons that are grumpy, and their own twisted and broken bodies.

In fact, when the first batch of hand-throwing bombs fell, the monsters from the evil god camp didn't take it seriously, especially those mud-shaped monsters, and even deliberately used their gelatinous bodies to take over them.

Then, when the earth-shattering roar sounded, an unknown number of monsters were blown to pieces in the terrifying explosion like thunder and roaring.

However, before the terrified Cthulhu and his minions had time to react, more artillery fire was projected from a distance. This was the howitzer bombardment from the fire dwarves. The roaring God of War completely covered the Cthulhu and his followers , Countless monsters were torn into pieces amidst howls and roars, and even the evil god itself suffered a certain degree of blow.

Countless rattan tentacles twitched and twisted around Moander, blocking many shells or shrapnel from the outside.However, the firepower projected by the flame army is so violent that there are always many fish that escape through the barrier, and then bloom on the surface of the huge head.

The flames and roaring steel devoured the God of Corrosion, but the surrounding onlookers were inexplicably horrified. They couldn't understand the methods of William's army of flames, and they were extremely moved by this almost destructive scene. of fear.

Indeed, the power of even the smallest cannonball is by no means inferior to [Extreme Fireball], such as the light of justice falling from the sky, even comparable to the strongest single-body flame evocation spell [Yang Yan Blast], and this is not One or two isolated cases, but hundreds of thousands of non-stop smashing upwards, who can not be frightened by such a brutal firepower projection?
Even if the saint incarnation of Moander is surrounded by corrupt aura (field), even if he has a fairly high absolute immunity as a saint (any attack with a magic weapon effect lower than +3 cannot substantially harm the saint), it cannot Unscathed by this horrific attack.

When William's golem mecha approached the incarnation of the saint in Moander, the poor evil god had already turned into a rotten brain, and almost all the vines on his forehead were blown to pieces, with seven facial features. It looks like a lack of nose and eyes.

However, although Moander looks miserable, in fact, its divine essence has not been consumed much. Unless there is another divine existence or a device with divine power to attack it, otherwise this evil god can only be restricted or sealed, and cannot be destroyed. Complete kill.

However, this does not mean that the indiscriminate bombing of the Flame Legion is doing nothing.

It also takes energy for a saint to avoid death in front of mortals. This is not a data-based game, but a real reality. A rope saws a tree, and water drips through a stone, but it is a real physical law.

If Moander wants to maintain his incarnation of the saint, he has to consume energy to resist the attack of the flame legion.

To put it bluntly, the energy of a saint is divine power. Although the energy level of this divine power is indeed quite high, it is still quite a lot.Back then, when the gods and gods knocked all the gods down, they treated everyone equally. The amount of divine power carried by every saint is the same. No matter whether you are a demigod or a powerful divine power, no one should think too much about it. Take advantage.

Moreover, Io also cut off the connection between the saints and the kingdom of God (this is why some gods who didn't respond at the beginning desperately returned to the outer plane), the saints of the gods want to increase their divine power reserves, there are only two One way is to devour and plunder the divine power of other saints (Ban imprisoned Mystra for this), and the other is to rely on the believer's faith transformation.

Of course, there are two ways to transform believers' beliefs and accumulate divine power. One is to gather a large number of believers and exchange them with believers through the method of divine magic. This method of accumulating divine power is more effective. Slow, the advantage is that the water can flow for a long time, and it is said that there are other benefits.

Another more urgent way is to sacrifice the most devout believers to oneself, and transform these fanatical souls into surging divine power in a very short time. This method of obtaining divine power is not only time-consuming, but also quick , and a large amount can be full.

The disadvantage is that it costs more believers, and it is easy to die a lot.

Among all the saints known today, the two saints, the tyrant Bane and the god of loyalty and courage, gave everyone a head start with "urgency".

It's just that according to the reason that the god Aiou denounced the gods, this way of sacrificing a large number of believers in exchange for divine power is undoubtedly committing crimes against the wind, and the consequences are not so good.

In the turbulent years of another timeline, not all the saints who died did this kind of thing, but what is certain is that the saints who did this kind of thing basically died at least once.

The unlucky thing about Moander is that a batch of "divine power batteries" that he carefully prepared for himself were cut off before they could be used.

That's right!It was about the group of cultists who stole William’s family. They were originally intended to be used by Moander as a sacrifice to restore his divine power, but they were killed by William’s family before they had time to use them.

As a result, Moander's divine power reserves appear relatively poor.

Facing the indiscriminate bombardment of the Flame Legion, he gradually couldn't bear it anymore, and finally began to be impatient.

In fact, the incarnation of the holy man in Moander does not have many effective means of resistance. His usual abilities such as corruption, parasitism, and mutation are almost useless, because the flame legion does not engage in close-range combat with the evil holy man. Contact, but projecting firepower from a distance, not to mention that creatures of the flame type are naturally more resistant to this type of attack, so the evil god is really helpless for a while.

As more big firecrackers covered the evil god, the appearance of the saint incarnation of Moander looked more and more bleak.Large pieces of humus wood-like skin and body tissue were torn apart. These things that fell from the evil god should have become scars and sources of corruption on the earth, but it is a pity that they have been subjected to high temperature and powerful shock waves dozens of times. They can only be turned into almost harmless ashes and scattered on the ground.

In desperation, Moander turned himself into a huge amorphous jelly-like monster. After the flying shells fell into his viscous body, they fell into the water like mud cows, and failed to When it exploded, it was decomposed and decomposed by the colloid body incarnate by the evil holy man, and finally turned into a pool of rotten residue, and even those residues were decomposed, melted and absorbed by the colloid monster soon after.

And this is the horror of the jelly monster incarnated by the evil saint. He is not afraid of any physical attack. Tangible substances will only be corrupted and absorbed when they come into close contact. The only thing that can hurt the jelly monster is magic. and energy attacks.

However, the saint has a very high resistance to most of the energy and magic, and even the magical energy attack of certain attributes can not harm the jelly monster incarnated by the saint, but is equivalent to replenishing him with energy.

The thermal weapons and ammunition of the Flame Legion under William's hands are basically impact-explosive. The filling in the big firecracker is mainly detonated by the recoil generated when it hits the target. However, the glue structure of the colloidal monster The body has the function of absorbing and buffering the impact of kinetic energy, which caused the originally majestic cannon bombardment to become a toy that is not even as good as a slingshot for hitting birds.

After all, no matter how many shells you have, no matter how large the caliber, it will not make a sound when it hits the ground, and you can't even make a hole. Isn't it a joke?

However, this does not mean that the Flame Legion has no way to deal with this situation.

This is not to say that the commander of the Flame Legion is wise enough, but that there are quite some fire creatures with unique brain circuits in the flame world, such as the fire devil boy.

A fire devil is a small humanoid elemental creature that appears to be sculpted from molten stone and flowing magma, about the size of a seven or eight-year-old human cub.

Many times people always confuse the fire devil boy with the little devil from purgatory.But the two are completely different existences. The fire demon children are not evil, they just like to play tricks.

Fire devil children like to see things being ignited, intoxicated by the feeling of burning, and are willing to share this feeling with any creature - they are too simple to understand the pain of being burned by fire, and do not know this pain Will kill other creatures (it can be understood as an enhanced version of the Peach Valley Six Immortals).

Since the art of explosion was mastered by the Flame Legion, this "game" with outstanding sound and light effects has deeply attracted the fire devil children. They think it is a more brilliant and sacred combustion, and deeply Fascinated by it.

Ever since, the Flame Legion has added a unique unit—the fire devil child self-destruct soldier.

These small things are extremely dangerous. Their strength is by no means inferior to larger creatures (strength attribute 12+), and because their bodies are mostly rock structures, they can carry heavy objects that flesh and blood creatures of the same strength cannot bear. .

When the fire devil children set foot on the battlefield with a [-]-pound firecracker on their backs, the members of the Flame Legion were not worried about the lack of power of the fire devil children's self-explosive soldiers, but only worried about whether these mischievous fire devil children would reach their goal Before the ground, I couldn't help detonating the big firecracker.

Fortunately, fire devil children are sometimes quite obedient, provided that you master the method of communicating with them.

Fire devil children don't like orders and oppression from authority, they simply admire chaos by nature, and they will use pranks to make trouble.

The best way to deal with the fire devil boy is to lure and provoke, and sometimes the aggressive method is even more effective than temptation.

A flame dwarf came to the fire demon boy self-demolition army with his chest and belly folded, and said arrogantly in the fire language: "Hey! Lava bastards! I made another big guy, a very 'boom boom' Boom' big dick. I'm going to throw the big dick on that slimy big dick with the Colossus Titan and tear him apart!
Believe me!My big one will eclipse all 'boom-boom-boom' and you lava bastards will be useless then!Hee hee hee, I will apply to cancel your toys! "

The fire clan language is the only language that allows the fire devil children to understand the thoughts of other creatures (it's just that there is no such word as "burn" in the fire clan language). When the fire devil children heard the provocation of the flame dwarf, they immediately The crowd was furious.

They started clamoring to blow up the big slimy guy first, and then turn the big "cold" bastard's big toys into useless decorations.

In the cognition of the fire devil child, any existence whose body surface temperature and heat radiation is not as good as them is a cold guy, not only the flame gnome is regarded in this way.

Under normal circumstances, fire devil children are not allowed to touch their big firecrackers, because they can't help detonating it at any time. Only when fire devil children self-destruct soldiers actually step on the battlefield to perform tasks, soldiers and equipment will touch .

The first batch of six fire demon children were sent to six directions, and then their exclusive firecrackers were also put in place one after another.These big firecrackers are small obsidian ratchet carts with a load capacity of more than 500 pounds, and the small carts are loaded with extremely powerful firecracker fillers.

When the fire demon child stepped onto the battlefield with a small cart, no flame sergeant dared to come within the range of its power.
