The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 871 Death of the Beholder
The tauren who have obtained the inheritance of [Song of the Earth] will gain some unique abilities, for example, they can "swim" in the soil like the Thor stone monster, and they will gain similar abilities when they are on the road. With the same supernatural abilities as warlocks, they can use some spell-like spells that are unique to tauren shamans.

But for the little cow Aban, all this is still far away. At least she has to wait for her to grow new teeth and horns, and after a certain period of study and training, she can master these special abilities.

However, there is one ability that Aban awakened almost immediately, and that is the ability called "follow the sages", which is why they are called "the messengers of the sages".

The tauren gifted by [Song of the Earth] will awaken a unique supernatural ability. They will respond to those sages or those who have the potential to become sages, and then subconsciously get close to and even follow each other.

In the legend of the tauren, the only known tauren who has been publicly recognized as having won the "Praise of the Earth" is an ancient male tauren who once made a great contribution to the continuation of the tauren family.

It's just that this ancient tauren made a mistake in the process of following the sage, and finally degenerated into a terrifying demon lord. His name is Baphomet. Of course, more people would like to call him the Horned Demon or the King of Beasts. Lord.

Because of Baphomet's contribution to the tauren family, even though he knew that the demon lord was evil in nature, there are still many tauren who are willing to follow the lord of beasts.

The tauren shaman appeased the newly promoted tauren shaman, Aban, and selectively told him some secrets about the tauren's "sage messenger", but the purpose was to warn him not to use or believe [follow the sages] Ability.

It should be noted that the ability of [following the sage] is a passive telepathy, which can let the tauren messenger know whether the sage exists and where it is roughly located, and then they will approach and follow each other subconsciously.

Of course, the old shaman didn't want to stop Aban from looking for the sage, and it couldn't stop him either. The old shaman was just worried that the little cow would be tricked into falling into the path of degeneration like the last sage's messenger.

It's a pity that the old shaman's painstaking efforts quickly turned into carelessness, because A-Ban confirmed the whereabouts of the "sage" almost in the next second.

It pointed to William who was chasing the last few orcs and said: "I feel the greatness of that human being, and I want to follow him to witness the birth of the epic!"

The old tauren's expression was stagnant when he heard the words, and he couldn't help asking: "Are you sure, Aban? This is not a joke. This human being is indeed very powerful, but being strong and being great are two different things! You Don't mistake the sages!"

Aban covered his leaky mouth, and said stubbornly: "Then let us wait and see!"

In this way, this small tauren tribe has confirmed their intention to follow William. Of course, the result depends on whether William accepts them or not.

At this time, William was chasing and killing the orc warlord Oduru Urk. This cunning orc leader was afraid of William's tyranny, so he never stepped forward to fight, but hid behind his men to fight soy sauce. Unfortunately, the number of orc cannon fodder is limited. It didn't take long for William to kill him all over the place, causing Odulu's idea of ​​fishing to come to nothing.

When only four or five orc warriors (a title of orc elite berserkers) were left timidly wanting to stay away from William, the orc warlord knew that he had to make a decision, or rushed up with an ax to fight that Terrible human fight to the death, of course, this choice is most likely to give the head, or hurry up and run away while the cannon fodder is still alive.

Uduru almost hesitated for a second before making a decision. It activated the innate ability [Gruumsh's Wrath] that belonged exclusively to the one-eyed warlord, which was sacrificed by Uduru Urk. Ability gained after the left eyeball.

[Gruumsh's Wrath] - God-like spell, once a day.When one of the allies around the One-Eyed Warlord suffers casualties, he can use supernatural abilities to inspire the fighting spirit of the remaining allies, sending them into a state of rage.While in this state, any attack by an ally empowered by a supernatural ability is treated as supernatural damage (equivalent to +2 magic weapon attack).

Oduru Urk raised his flaming battle ax (+1 fire damage), and roared loudly: "Gruumsh's warrior! Charge me!"

Almost all the orc warriors who were still alive fell into a state of madness. Their bodies became stronger, panting heavily, their eyes were blood red, and they rushed towards William with their weapons wantonly, while the orc warlord turned around and ran away.

This guy is going to run away!

William is extremely disgusted with Odulu's behavior of only letting his younger brother give away his head, and then run away without looking back.In fact, William was not the only one who hated it. Any soldier with a heart would not agree with the leader's cowardly and irresponsible behavior.

William swung the double knives that had completely become jagged, unstoppably split several crazy orcs, and then rushed behind Uduru Urk like an electric shot.

William is not the kind of person who would disdain to strike from behind the enemy for the sake of the so-called soldier's glory. People who like to do that either have ulterior motives or are hypocritical.

However, before cutting off the head of the orc warlord, William still reminded the other party with a loud shout, and then beheaded his owl in half. This is because William hated the orc so much that under normal circumstances he would just chop off the other party's head and settle the matter. It is not necessary to add another punishment of breaking the waist with a knife.

It can be said that Oduru Urk died without a penny. In fact, according to its strength, William should not have killed it so easily. If it was a normal fight, William would have to spend three to five rounds to kill him. kill each other.

It all stemmed from this fellow fleeing without a fight, but leaving his back to the opponent. This was also because the orc warden did not expect William to get rid of the entanglement of those berserk orcs so easily, and directly chased and hacked it.

After beheading the orc warlord Uduru Urk, William turned around and killed the berserk orc warriors. In this way, all the monsters that broke into the hall of the barracks were finally wiped out.

Because William, the vanguard withstood the enemy's greatest pressure, the other monster fighters didn't feel how much hard work they had experienced, and they could easily wipe out nearly five times as many enemies. This seemed very strange to many monster fighters. An incredible thing.

It should be noted that they have not dealt with the subordinates of the beholders before. At that time, even if the number of the two sides was the same, it would be difficult for the fighters on Kagar's side to take advantage of the fight. Without the blessings of various traps and mazes , it is even difficult for them to repel the incoming monsters.

At this moment, the monster fighters are all cheering for this miraculous victory, especially the tauren family who have enjoyed the biggest bonus in this battle. Sacrifice to the earth has greatly improved the strength of their own clansmen, especially when Aban received the blessing of [Song of the Earth], which is their greatest gain.

A dozen or so tauren couldn't help singing and dancing. They danced the tauren's unique celebratory dance steps (similar to the elephant dance), and sang "moo" around the old shaman and the heifer.

To say that among all the warriors, the only one who was not very happy was Phinea.She was arranged by William at the very end of the battlefield, serving as a reserve member for the entire battle. As long as there was an error or loophole in a certain position on the battlefield, she would be responsible for correcting the error and making up for it.

However, William's battle plan was designed very successfully. Except for the slightly thrilling battle at the tauren, the entire battlefield ended almost without any disturbance.

Feniya was wearing a heavy golden armor, and ran to William angrily and shouted, "William, it's time for me to stand at the front this time!"

William waved his hand indifferently and said, "That's fine! Get ready, Phinya! The enemy may rush in at any time!"

Phineya didn't expect William to agree so easily, she swung her tomahawk a few times triumphantly, and said, "Don't worry! As long as those damned monsters dare to come, I will chop them into meat paste!"

Before the female half-giant could finish her sentence, a dozen gnolls rushed in from the entrance, accompanied by howling like a dog.

Due to the land sacrifice of the tauren, except for the bodies of the last few orcs and ogres that died, most of the orcs who died in battle turned into a part of the earth and dissipated in the soil.

So when the gnolls entered the hall, their keen sense of smell smelled the thick smell of blood permeating the air, but their eyes did not see the scene like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, which made these restless wolves instinctively Something feels wrong.

It's just that the distance between William and Phinea and other monster fighters is a bit far away, but they are "alone" exposed to the attack range of the wolf man, and the natural opportunist of the wolf man Even though it feels a little wrong, I can't help the temptation to pounce on a leak.

Before they even had time to stop to think or discuss, they instinctively rushed towards the two "alone" heavy armored fighters.

Facing the sudden attack of the Wolf Man, Feniya was indeed a little caught off guard. Her overly optimistic attitude made her relax her vigilance, and the footsteps of the Wolf Man were notoriously difficult to detect.

Gnoll Talent [Micro-sound Footsteps] - Under the condition of light load, the footsteps of the Gnoll are so small that it is almost inaudible. Only those creatures with the most keen hearing can detect the approach of the Gnoll at a relatively short distance .

Fortunately, Feniya was wearing a golden armor with a strong enough defense effect, and beside her was a man with unparalleled spiritual sense.

The gnolls who came by surprise attacked Phinea with their weapons.Among them, the most threatening heavy flail was stopped by William with a big knife. If this thing hit Phinea, no matter how thick her armor was, it would be useless.

William ignored the remaining machetes and maces, but let them be borne by Phinea's armor.

At the moment before being attacked, Feniya's mind went blank, and she couldn't even make any meaningful or even meaningless blocks or reactions. This is undoubtedly an extremely failure for a warrior, but for the wolf man It's a very common thing to say.

[Secret Assault] - The supernatural racial characteristic of the Wolf Man. When more than three Wolf Man attack an unaware target, the attacked will be caught off guard and in a state of shock, unable to evade or counterattack.

After the target is attacked, the state of being stunned will be broken, and the target that detects the wolf man's action in advance will not be stunned.

Therefore, it wasn't until the impact force from the attack on the armor woke Feniya up that her brain regained control of her thinking and reacted accordingly.

Due to the large number of gnolls (greater than three), their attacks did not fall on Feniya at the same time. When the first attack fell on Feniya to wake her up, the remaining ones The Gnoll is still a little away from Phinea.

However, Feniya's first reaction was not to avoid the attack of the wolf man. She directly swung Thunder Frost against the attack of the wolf man, and turned around with a large roundabout attack, but directly chopped a few wolf men who had no time to react. Make two paragraphs.

After killing several enemies with one blow, Feniya's angry and aggrieved heart finally felt relieved. She raised her head to the sky and let out a roar, and then chased and slashed at the gnolls who were still alive.

When William killed the Gnoll wielding a heavy flail, Phinea pounced on the obviously boss-level Gnoll with an axe, and then shouted at William: "It's my prey! !"

Although William felt that his mother-in-law was a bit out of control, he didn't say anything at this time. Instead, he spread his hands to gesture to Phinea, expressing the meaning of "whatever you say", and then took two steps back, standing next to her. Fenya's solo performance.

In terms of individual combat effectiveness, the gap between the Wolf Man and Feniya is still quite large. In the next battle, Feniya cut down four more Wolf Man, but she only suffered the enemy's attack. With the protection of the golden holy armor, this kind of painless attack can basically be ignored.

At this time, most of the wolf men who rushed in had been killed by Feniya, and the wolf man is not a race that likes to fight to the death. Seeing that the situation is not good, the remaining wolf men immediately turned around and headed towards the entrance of the hall run.

These humanoid monsters even abandoned their weapons when they fled, and ran away on all fours like real jackals, while Phineya, who was wearing a helmet and smashed armor, chased after only a few steps with an ax, and was forced to Don't give up the pursuit.

Without him, the Gnoll ran too fast.

Next, several groups of monsters rushed into the hall, but they all fell under Phinea's battle axe. These monsters were undoubtedly the beastman leader Uduru Urk before he was killed. Command the reinforcements that are summoned.

For this, Phineya is too addicted to fighting. She almost forgot the bewilderment of being attacked by the wolf man at the beginning, and happily participated in every fight.

After killing four waves of enemies in a row, so that the corpses piled up at the entrance of the hall and blood flowed like a river, the enemies finally stopped appearing.

William also gave the order to retreat.

The other monster fighters, including Feniya, don't quite understand this. They are occupying the advantage on the battlefield, and the enemy can't attack at all. Why do they retreat?
William only said one sentence, and the big guys basically had nothing to say.

"The beholder is coming!"

　It has been corrected and can be subscribed normally.

　　Sorry, there is something urgent these two days, I didn't have time to correct it, I am very sorry everyone.
