Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

ps: I have something to do at night, the chapter coded during the day has been posted ahead of schedule

For the great elder of the Bear Claw Tribe, Fang Yi has always only heard his name but not his person.

Originally, in Fang Yi's imagination, even if this old man was more enlightened than other druids, it was quite limited. However, during the recent cooperation between druids and soldiers, Fang Yi's impression of each other has gradually changed. To get better, at least know that the overall situation is the most important thing, right?

So Fang Yi thought for a while and agreed to the druid's invitation.

But the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, if this guy throws a grand banquet in Broken Ridge, wouldn't I never return?So to be on the safe side, Fang Yi first went to see Cable once, and took a total of five centaur warriors from the centaur chief.

After the worship of prestige, Fang Yi has the right to command a small number of troops, and five is the maximum number that Fang Yi can win.If you feel that less is not enough, then you have to kill as many members of the opposing faction as possible on the war map, and at the same time complete the faction tasks to obtain a higher military rank.

Fang Yi is now just the lowest-level team leader.

However, although Fang Yi's position is low, the five soldiers under him are all top nbs.Four level 32 elite fighters, headed by Fang Yi's old acquaintance - the tall centaur warrior who stood guard at the gate of the camp before, a level 34 elite ranger!Fang Yi fought with these people when he was bored. If he didn't use his ultimate move, it would not be a problem to single out level 32. Two would be dangerous, and three would definitely lose.

Fang Yi, a level 34 elite, didn't try it at all.There is also a difference between elites and elites. Centaur warriors who specialize in close combat and bow shooting are too capable of hand-to-hand combat.Fang Yi has no reason to seek abuse by himself.

As for why there is such a good treatment, Fang Yi guesses that it has something to do with his reputation. It should be that Cable secretly strengthened the strength of the five followers~

It feels really cool to walk through the back door~

……

With five sturdy men and horses, Fang Yi leisurely followed the elf druid and arrived at Broken Ridge without incident.

Because of the previous task of "watching and helping each other" and the big mouth of Gaoshan Liushui, players near Broken Ridge know that there is an nb assassin who has a high reputation as an assassin, and now they see five army NPCs following behind Fang Yi, Where can't you think that this is the assassin in the legend?

For a while, many passers-by gathered around, following behind Fang Yi and whispering.Among them, some players were full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and wanted to gain some benefits from Fang Yi-everyone came here together.Everyone else is riding a bicycle, but Fang Yi is driving a Mercedes-Benz, how can he not make people jealous?

What's more, Fang Yi's head is worth a bounty of tens of thousands of gold coins?

Fang Yi didn't worry about any changes in the players around him at all. He didn't accept that he had five super bodyguards, and he just looked at the Druid walking side by side with him.These players dare not do it.Not everyone is like Fang Yi.Able to dismiss the Bearpaw Tribe.

***

"I'll just wait here. Tell you Great Elders to come out~"

Standing in the center of the hall, Fang Yi ignored the druid who reached out to signal him to go in, but looked around the familiar hall.One side said: "The air here is so bright and bright, it's suitable for conversation~"

"Haha~ what my friend said is~"

Just as the young druid's face turned blue and white, there was a hearty whisper in the room at the back of the hall, followed by a figure flashing out from the door.

The man who came out was an old man, with snow-white hair and beard, wearing a light green druid robe, not holding a weapon, and no other decorations on his body, although he had a smile on his face, but at first glance The first impression you get when you go up is majesty.

It seems to be more reliable than the previous deputy elder... Fang Yi quickly looked at the old man, thinking so in his heart.

"We'll just talk here," the old man pointed to the wooden table by the wall, smiled at Fang Yi, and waved at the druid guards in the hall at the same time. The npc guards acted immediately, and drove out all the onlookers in the hall, and those players who came here to pick up the mission were no exception. They were noisy for a while, and many people had already started to point at Fang Yi and curse loudly.

"Just tell me something, I'm very busy." Fang Yi stood still, but said in a cold voice with his arms folded.

"Hehe, young man, don't reject people from there~"

The old man still had a smile on his face, and sat down at the wooden table by himself: "Don't you want to know how to use the tree species you got from the giant storm deer?"

***

Star Fortress.

Compared with when Fang Yi first arrived last time, the walls of the Star Fortress have been widened a lot, and two new arrow towers have been erected. Under the sunlight, the crossbows aimed at the outside of the city flickered on the arrow towers. With a frightening cold light, it makes people shudder.

In the residence of Taohuawu, the hall made of stone is wide and bright, the floor paved with marble is polished to a bright light, and there are four large wooden lamp stands hanging on the roof, which contrast with the beautifully decorated interior of the house. It is completely the architectural style of elves who pursue perfection.

Unlike Fang Yi, who lived a simple life, every player in the Taohuawu guild looked extremely busy and kept their feet off the ground. Beside the crackling fireplace with burning firewood, more than a dozen players were working together. Zhang Shuttled back and forth around the huge round wood Zhuo, and Chen Jing, Xiao Lei, the mulberry picker, and the black mountain demon were all among them.

"Fang Cui, this idiot, hasn't come back yet!"

In the temporary residence in Taohuawu, Chen Jing stared at her message manager a little irritably. After waiting for a long time, she couldn't wait for Fang Yi's reply, so she couldn't help but said angrily.

"Hee hee, big sister, don't be angry~ Fang Yi must have something to do," Xiaolei, who was observing carefully with a cowhide map, smiled when she heard the words, and seemed to like Chen Jing's angry appearance very much, " He should be busy at the centaur camp, didn't the guild remind him two days ago that he is worshiped by the alpine centaur clan?"

The other girls in the room also covered their mouths and giggled, because Chen Jing was usually a rather powerful female leader.Only Fang Yi could make her so angry.

"How can I not be in a hurry? We are in urgent need of blacksmiths now!" Chen Jing sent another message to Fang Yi, and then sat back on the chair dejectedly. In the end, she could only shake her head helplessly and sigh.

The players around glanced at each other, and they all understood what the big sister meant.

Recently, the players on Tumisi's side have been active, often crossing over to harass players who are leveling around the Stars Fortress.Naturally, this kind of change cannot escape people's observation. After some careful exploration, the players of Dragon Coast finally figured out the opponent's real purpose!

It turns out that just after Fang Yi successfully "subdued" Torm's tribe of people and horses, some players from Tumisi revealed that they had triggered a similar mission. The goal was to defeat a group of bloodthirsty werewolves The little werewolves in the state were rescued.Cultivate into a powerful teammate on the side of the players!

Actually.The player from Tumis received the mission earlier than Fang Yi, and came to Breath of the Giant much earlier than Fang Yi who trekked here, but this person is not an ordinary player, and he is only interested in earning his reputation in a daze.He actually forgot that he had this task!It wasn't until Fang Yi successfully completed the task that he suddenly remembered.The players on Tumisi's side were so depressed that they almost vomited blood.

Dozens of days have passed now.Presumably, the task of rescuing the werewolf has already been completed, and it is almost time to form a force.Recently, the other party has been going deep into the hinterland frequently, just to collect terrain information nearby.Prepare for the coming attack.

As I said before, whether it is the strength of players or NPCs, the Tumis Empire is obviously superior to the Dragon Coast, so once a war really breaks out, the Stars Fortress will only be defensive and unable to attack.

Now Chen Jing is worried about this matter.

Keep, what to keep?On the map of Breath of the Giants, the number of players on your side is only two-thirds of that of the Tumis Empire, and the ratio of NPCs may be even worse.The hardware strength of the war is even more different. Some people have released screenshots on the forum. The emperor of the Tumis Empire specially sent ten giant ballistas to the expeditionary army. A monster with a tree trunk more than a foot away!

Not to mention there are cavalry of the imperial army for players to command!

So for this first battle, Chen Jing's mind is very clear, she must defend, and defend well!Once it misses here, the Tumis Empire, which already has the upper hand, will definitely take advantage of the victory and sweep all the enemies on the map. It will be even more difficult to enter the Valley of Fear in the future.

And once all your strongholds are captured, the war in this area will come to an end, and this place will become the territory of the Tumis Empire. The rich minerals, rare monsters, and powerful items that can be purchased with reputation are hidden under the snow. Wait, it has nothing to do with the players of the Dragon Coast, and this situation will continue until two months later, when the war map is opened again.

For the Taohuawu union, this piece of undeveloped land has a special meaning.Now the main city in the game is basically occupied by the big guilds that developed early, leaving little living space for the latecomers - no territory, no place for leveling, and even doing business in the city has to be restricted by the shops of those big guilds. exclusion.

Therefore, it is very appropriate to have such a piece of virgin land for the development of trade unions.

Seeing Chen Jing's sad face, the always optimistic Black Mountain Demon came up behind Chen Jing, put his arms around the frowning eldest sister, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't get angry. If you get anxious , our guild will not be able to function normally, don’t worry, we all send a message to remind the cube.”

***

To everyone's surprise, Fang Yi not only came back soon, but also brought back a master blacksmith!

The scale of Stars Fortress is several times larger than that of Broken Ridge, and the number of players has naturally doubled.Those players who had been in Xueshan City looked at Fang Yi who walked into the fortress majesticly, and the big light gourd walking beside Fang Yi, their jaws almost fell to the ground in shock.

"Damn! Isn't this Kratos from Cedar City? How did he come here!?"

"Shh...you didn't see it? The one walking in front is Cube!"

"I'll go, it's really him! I heard that he has joined the Taohuawu guild, and the leaders in that guild are all beauties. I have applied to join the guild three times but failed..."

"You two idiots, that's not the point! The point is why Kratos left the Red Dragon Heart and came here!"

……

As for why Kratos came here with Fang Yi, there is a reason for Fang Yi's good luck.There are also deliberate factors.

It turned out that the scroll that recorded the seal-cutting skills of the high magic array was too dense, and Kratos could not quickly comprehend it by himself. In this regard, npcs are not as good as players-a half-baked blacksmith like Fang Yi can shoot You can learn it by making a scroll, but it takes so much effort for a master like Kui Ye.

Therefore, Fang Yi made a decision without hesitation, to use the player's "teach" function to hand over the skills to Lord Kui, and this process cannot be completed in a short while, so the two old men rushed to Qunxing together. temple.

……

The bitter cold wind kept the enthusiasm of the players, and the entire Stars Fortress was shrouded in a working atmosphere full of enthusiasm.The players coming and going were all flushed.It looks like he is working hard to do the task.

Both sides of the road are full of stalls set up by players, similar to "+3 shadow damage top-quality one-handed long sword! Spit blood, 2% lower price than the auction house!" It's time to make a move!" Such noisy shouts can be heard endlessly.It is not at the same level as the slightly deserted Broken Ridge.

Fang Yi ignored the players following behind him.Instead, he grinned and chatted with Kratos beside him.

"This fortress has the architectural style of the elves." Kratos said, looking around the towering city wall on the right and the surrounding stone and wood buildings.

"Your eyes are as bright as a torch," Fang Yi flattered a little, and pointed to the towering arrow tower in front of the right. "That is the famous giant crossbow of the elves. A seven-foot-long crossbow can penetrate at least 8 fully armed warriors. It is most suitable for killing charging knights~"

Fang Yi is also learning and selling now. The last time she came here, Chen Jing introduced to Fang Yi the general layout of the Stars Fortress, and also revealed some realities of the imminent battle.However, Kratos just glanced at the arrow tower in the corner, and did not show the astonishment that Fang Yi expected.

"The arrow tower is used to defend against the enemy's attack. It's okay to say that a small force, if the opponent rushes to kill, the power of this one-way linear attack is very limited," Kratos pointed out the disadvantage of the arrow tower mercilessly, saying It shows the demeanor of a generation of grandmasters, "It's barely enough to kill the opponent's general."

Fang Yi said this to bring up this topic. Hearing what Master Kui said, he naturally hit the snake with a stick, and smiled: "I said master, according to my reliable information, the Tumis Empire has been in the past few days. There will be military operations in the next day, you see that the defense of these star fortresses is a bit unsightly, do you have time to guide them..."

"Hey, boy, I knew something was wrong when I saw your eyes fluttering." Kratos patted his bare forehead and laughed: "But anyway, I have been idle for a long time, and it seems good to exercise my muscles and bones." ~"

……

With Kratos' words, Fang Yi felt a lot more at ease, and the two quickened their pace, and soon arrived at the residence where Taohuawu was located.

The mulberry picker, the black mountain demon, Xiao Lei, and Chen Jing, four women or girls with very different temperaments stood in the hall prettyly. When they saw Fang Yi walking in from the door, they all showed some Some smiles made Fang Yi feel better while feasting his eyes.

It's strange to say, except for Xiaolei and Chen Jing, Fang Yi is not very familiar with the mulberry pickers and the Black Mountain demon, at least in reality, there is no intersection at all, but when getting along with these people, it is the same Comfortable + natural, it must be more than just thinking that the two of them are beautiful, after all, Fang Yi has seen many beautiful girls.

Fang Yi's messy thoughts didn't last long, because Chen Jing's loud voice had already followed.

"Cube! If you dare to come back for half a day, I will..."

"I brought back a master blacksmith." Fang Yi didn't wait for Chen Jing to start yelling, and immediately stood aside, letting Kratos in who had been silent all this time, and interrupting Chen Jing's yelling with one sentence .

"...what sect... what teacher?"

The few girls present were a little dazed, looking at this burly man in plate armor a little dazed.

"Master blacksmith!" Fang Yi patted his chest and said proudly, as if he was already a master.

***

The appearance of Kratos caused the whole Taohuawu to fall into extreme excitement, and the players rushed to tell each other, and the resident hall was full of players for a while.Chen Jing is not a novice either, she knows in her heart that the sudden arrival of this master blacksmith will bring huge changes to the Stars Fortress, and it is very likely to affect the layout of this war!

So without any delay, Chen Jing immediately showed her female character, waved away the onlookers, and then led Kratos straight to the central administrative hall of the Stars Fortress—the fortifications of the entire fortress and related weapons and equipment. Building is where Kratos can play its greatest value!

After watching the eldest sister and Master Kui leave, Fang Yi stretched his waist and sat down on the chair.

Because Chen Jing and several other girls sent messages continuously, Fang Yi also knew that the matter was urgent, so he and Kratos did not rest at all along the way, and rushed back after traveling day and night.Master Kui didn't look tired at all, but Fang Yi's physical strength had already been exhausted, and he felt that the soles of his feet were about to wear calluses.

But now is not the time to rest, because Fang Yi still has a bigger surprise for some beauties.

"Little demon, picking mulberry, and Xiaolei~" Fang Yi stood up from the chair enduring the soreness in his body, greeted several people, and showed his usual treacherous smile: "Come, follow me to the gate of the station, I will I have something for you to see." (To be continued...)
