One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 252 Ally with Neverwinter

Starting from Waterdeep City, Zuo Si finally arrived at Neverwinter City with the team through the winding path between the Sword Mountain Range and the Swamp of the Dead.

Although they were harassed by some lizardmen and toad monsters when passing through the swamp of the dead, these monsters did not pose any threat and were easily killed by a few warriors.

Especially Lantis, the elf archer who just joined the team, is simply a human-shaped arrow tower.

Most of the monsters couldn't even rush into the 50-meter warning range, and they would be shot and killed one by one.

Among them, the compound bow with legendary enchantment level will add a kind of wind attribute magic to the arrow, so that it will generate a strong spiral airflow to wrap around the arrow and arrow shaft during flight.

Not only will the shooting range become very far, but at the same time, the moment it touches the target, it will quickly tear the muscles and internal organs near the arrow.

Anyone hit by his arrows is basically a horrible bloody hole with bloody flesh.

Even if he didn't hit a vital point and died on the spot, he would bleed to death in a very short period of time.

In addition, this guy also mastered quite a few low-level spells, among which [Fighting the Enemy] can even accurately hit a target two hundred meters away.

In addition, the shooting speed of bows and arrows is much faster than that of crossbows. With the magic archer's special abilities such as fireball and arrow rain, one person can easily shoot and kill dozens of incoming enemies or monsters.

Tracking Arrows, on the other hand, give those unlucky ones trying to run and hide a taste of nowhere to hide.

Even if they held their shields and hid behind cover, they would be shot to the side by the tracking arrows.

There is no doubt that a profession like the magic archer, which infuses all kinds of magic into arrows and has an extremely long attack distance, is an absolute nightmare for fighters who can only attack people by rushing forward.

At least the half-orc Rhett once said that he would rather face a raging evil dragon than charge against the arrows shot by Lantis.

That is no different from courting death.

In addition, the weapon he himself uses is a two-handed axe. It is estimated that he will be shot and killed on the way forward if he rushes seventy or eighty meters away at most, without even a chance to get close.

In contrast, old Kogan is more stubborn, saying that he is shorter and has a lower chassis, so he is not easy to be shot by arrows, so he will definitely be able to rush forward.

Of course, Alena immediately expressed contempt for his boastful behavior.

Because all fools know that although a dwarf is a little short, he can't stand to develop horizontally, and looks like a meaty mound from a distance.

Without any armor protection, put an adult human and a dwarf together and shoot a rain of arrows at them both.

The latter must have many more arrows than the former.

Because the cross-sectional area is too large...

For this kind of argument and bickering, Lantis just smiled modestly and didn't get involved.

The tabby, Abala, obviously prefers to focus on the surrounding scenery.

Since I have been living in the deep tropical rainforest of the Maztec continent before, I have never seen the animals and plants of the cold forest, so I am full of curiosity about everything, and even climbed to the top of the tree and caught a fat squirrel as a pet. by your side.

However, from the way the squirrel struggled and screamed angrily, it was not difficult to see that it actually didn't like its new owner at all, and always tried every means to escape.

Just talking and laughing all the way to maintain a relaxed atmosphere, the team finally passed through the gate of Neverwinter after a few days and formally entered this pearl of the Northland.

Looking at the cleanly cleaned streets and the confident and energetic citizens walking on them, Zuo Si couldn't help but slightly nodded and commented: "As a warrior and a believer in the God of Justice, Nasir Aragorn Lord Da managed the city well, at least much better than those masked lords and guild leaders in Waterdeep City, and better than the nobles and merchant oligarchs in Amn."

"Oh? Really? Why do I feel that this place is far less rich than Waterdeep and Amn." Korgan showed a puzzled expression.

Zuo Si patiently explained: "It is the relationship of population size.

Neverwinter City only has less than 20,000 citizens, including the surrounding radiation and indirectly controlled areas, the total will not exceed 150,000 to 200,000 people.

The population controlled by Waterdeep City has reached more than 1.3 million, and Amn has a population of almost 3 million.

Therefore, if these two places do not have the prosperity of Neverwinter, there will be problems.

Coupled with the fact that Neverwinter is geographically closer to the Great Arctic Glacier, its climate and agricultural output are not as unique as the former two.

And with such a bad neighbor like Luskan, it's pretty good to be able to develop into what it is now.

In my opinion, whether a city and its rulers are good or not does not lie in the prosperity of the city, but in the material life and spiritual outlook of the citizens.

Notice the genuine pride and pride on the faces of those townspeople and you can tell how satisfied they are with where they currently live.

Especially those green belts and parks in the city are almost invisible in other cities in Faerun Continent.

Of course, this is mainly due to the hot spring water of the Neverwinter River that contains supernatural power.

Through these hot springs, the green belts and forests of Neverwinter City not only bloom with flowers all year round, but also can eat summer fruits and vegetables even in the coldest winter.

The term "Neverwinter" in Neverwinter City may have originated from this. "

"Well, it seems that this Nasir is really good. But I hate the followers of Tyr, the god of justice. Those guys always act like I represent justice, which is disgusting." Korgan twitched his lips and complained. .

Like most greedy and profit-seeking adventurers, his principle of dealing with people is to use money to do things. He always stubbornly believes that those who are in the good camp are too hypocritical and dare not face their own nature and desires.

But Zuo Si has reservations.

Just when everyone started discussing which tavern or hotel they should go to for a bite to eat or a drink, and asked the locals what happened recently, a group of soldiers suddenly came from a distance and surrounded the entire group. live.

The first half-elf woman with brown shawl and long hair and wearing black plate armor stepped forward, bowed very elegantly, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, you are Your Excellency South, right?"

"That's right, I am." Zuo Si nodded slightly.

He wasn't surprised that the people of Neverwinter found him so quickly.

After all, as the only voter of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, no matter where he goes, he will definitely be paid close attention to by the local rulers.

It was true in Askatra, it was true in Baldur's Gate, it was true in Waterdeep City, and of course Neverwinter was no exception.

In addition, Nasir Aragonda had a long adventure career when he was young, collecting a lot of magic equipment and treasures.

After becoming the lord, he used these things to recruit some capable people and strangers, and formed an organization called "Neverwinter Nine Guards", which was responsible for his own security and handled a series of tasks including intelligence collection.

So Neverwinter has its own independent intelligence agency.

Most of the time they spend most of their time capturing Luskan's spies and figuring out what schemes this evil neighbor is planning.

"Welcome to Neverwinter. Lord Nasir has already known your purpose and has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."

Saying that, the half-elf woman made a gesture of please.

"You are……"

Zuo Si felt that the other party's outfit and appearance looked familiar, but she was not sure.

"My name is Erebes, Erebes de Timarand, a paladin who serves the God of Justice, and also Lord Nasir's assistant."

The half-elf woman reported her name and identity with a smile.

moment!

A hint of surprise flashed in Zuo Si's eyes, but she quickly pretended nothing happened and followed her towards the direction of Neverwinter Castle.

After about ten minutes or so, when the group walked through the heavily guarded castle gate and entered the interior, they soon saw the well-known Lord Nasir among the adventurers in the Northland.

Unlike the tall and mighty image in the rumors, he looked neither strong nor majestic. Sitting on a chair, he looked like a middle-aged and elderly person whose body had begun to decline, and a lot of white strands could be seen in his hair.

In a one-on-one battle, whether it is Korgan, Rhett, or Abala, they can easily defeat them.

After all, the warrior level of this lord is not high, only LV12.

Although he could already be regarded as an elite in a mixed adventure, but in the eyes of truly powerful top fighters, he was just a slightly advanced cannon fodder.

What's more, what he is really famous for has never been his ability to fight head-on, but his ability to quickly make a correct judgment on the current situation under complicated circumstances.

In addition, there are rumors that Lord Nasir is actually just a puppet, and that the one who really controls Neverwinter is actually a mage organization called the Cloak of the Stars.

Because it was their support that made the former the nominal supreme leader of the city.

However, all of this has gradually lost its market with Lord Nasir's outstanding political skills and ruling level.

Just when Zuo Si was looking at the famous and influential "Lord of Neverwinter" in the North with great interest, Erebes took the initiative to go forward and saluted, and reported softly: "My lord, I will send them Brought it."

"Good job. Now please take other people to the hall next door for dinner. I have something I want to talk to this young voter alone." Lord Nasir ordered straightforwardly.

It was clear that he wasn't interested in the other members of the squad, much less wasting precious time in small talk.

"As you wish."

Erebes bowed again with one hand on his chest, then turned around and said to Korgan and the others: "Dear guests, please come with me. The kitchen has prepared a sumptuous banquet and the most famous city of Neverwinter The fine wine can wash away the fatigue of the journey for you.”

But unfortunately, no one in the whole team responded to her invitation, and everyone turned their attention to Zuo Si.

Obviously, no one would leave with the half-elven paladin without Zuo Si's consent.

Regarding this situation, Lord Nasir immediately showed a surprised and unbelievable expression.

Because he has also been an adventurer before, he understands that this reaction means that Zuo Si has 100% absolute control over everyone in the entire team.

And such a team leader has never been seen in his more than ten years of adventure career.

Fortunately, Zuo Si didn't embarrass Erebes for too long, and immediately nodded slightly to himself in the team.

Then they followed the half-elf paladin to the dining hall in the castle and began to enjoy all kinds of delicious food and alcoholic beverages.

After the irrelevant personnel left completely, Lord Nasir slowly stood up from his chair and asked straight to the point: "Are you really planning to capture Luskan and completely destroy this evil spell-casting organization, the Arcane Brotherhood?"

Zuo Si replied unhurriedly: "Yes. But before I do it, I need to confirm the attitudes of all the important cities in the Northland. As the city closest to Luskan, Neverwinter should be the most hopeful to see Luskan The existing rulers of Kan were liquidated. So Lord Kelben thought you would support me and help me convince other towns in other surrounding areas."

"I see.

If you don't mind, I would like to ask, if you and the forces under your control occupy Luskan, how will you transform it?

You must know that many people who make a living in Luskan are pirates who made their fortunes by plundering merchant ships, and there are also greedy businessmen who help them sell stolen goods, traffic narcotics and provide supplies.

If these guys are not rectified, there is no way for Luskan to have any fundamental changes. "

Lord Nasir raised a lot of questions that he was most concerned about in one breath.

What he is most afraid of now is that after the Arcane Brotherhood is wiped out, instead of becoming a friendly neighbor, Luskan will become a huge threat to Neverwinter and even the entire Northland under the rule of a stronger force.

One must know that Neverwinter has been attacked and conspired by Luskan countless times since its establishment to the present.

At the most dangerous time, even the entire city may be destroyed.

"It's very simple, I will kill all the pirate leaders in Luskan, and turn ordinary pirates who rely on plundering for a living into laborers.

Let them go to build roads, farms, or mine, quarry, etc., until they truly repent before they will be free.

As for those merchants engaged in illegal business, I will confiscate all their property and make them useless paupers.

At that time, the population of Luskan may drop by about one-third from the current 15,000 people.

But it can pull it back on track from a deformed and chaotic economic and social structure.

As the past vested interest groups and upper-level rulers have been completely cleaned up, Luskan will not have any pirates or organizations like the Thieves Guild in the future.

A government of new order will replace the Arcane Brotherhood as administrators of the city. "

Zuo Si patiently explained.

He could understand how anxious Nasir was as the lord of Neverwinter.

The reason is very simple, the military strength of Neverwinter City is too weak.

All the guards in the entire city add up to only a few hundred people.

If a war really breaks out, at best a thousand or so militiamen will be recruited.

What about Luskan?

There are thousands of pirates alone who have experienced many battles.

In addition, a lot of gold coins earned through the slave trade, narcotics and specialties of the Far North were invested in the construction of the army, maintaining a professional army of three to four thousand people all year round.

Coupled with the mages of the Arcane Brotherhood, they can almost hang up Neverwinter in a head-to-head confrontation.

In fact, what really prevented Luskan from annexing or destroying Neverwinter was never Neverwinter itself, but from Waterdeep and Silvermoon, which supported Neverwinter behind them.

"Purge?!"

Lord Nasir's eyes widened in shock.

"That's right, a big purge."

Zuo Si nodded with a serious face.

"Because if we don't clean up those pirates, the Thieves Guild, and the Arcane Brotherhood, Luskan can't make changes.

This is a simple economic problem.

The first thing to do is to solve the employment of Luskan citizens, let them know that they can fill their stomachs and support their families without being pirates.

The establishment of a new order has never been achieved overnight. If food and clothing cannot be solved, then other things are meaningless castles in the air, which will collapse at the slightest touch.

By confiscating the wealth of those merchants and pirates, not only can it serve the purpose of warning everyone, but at the same time, it can also use the money as start-up capital to hire civilians to build roads, farms, and pastures, so that they can have a stable job and income. By the way, realize the redistribution of social wealth.

As for those vicious pirate chiefs and senior members of the Arcane Brotherhood, their hands were already stained with the blood of the victims.

So they deserve to die, and they don't deserve sympathy at all.

Only when these people die, the original social organization structure will collapse.

Transforming Luskan is destined to be a very long process, it may take several years, maybe ten years.

But I can assure you that if this city is under my control, it will definitely not bring any threat to Neverwinter.

On the contrary, we can work together and communicate with each other. "

Lord Nasir immediately showed approval when he heard these words: "You are right. The fundamental reason why Luskan became a gathering place for pirates and unscrupulous merchants is that Luskan's barren land cannot support Not so many people.

Moreover, this city stood on the edge of civilization, and would often break out wars with barbarian clans and orc tribes. It was gradually inevitably influenced by each other, and it was keen on plunder and expansion.

Therefore, if you want to change Luskan, you must first change their long-standing living habits and ways of thinking.

I heard from Your Excellency Kelben that you have successfully transformed the pirates in the Nelanthal Islands and established order in the Sea of ​​Swords and the Central Sword Coast.

If you don't mind, can you take me to see it for myself? "

"Now?"

Zuo Si raised her eyebrows in surprise, completely unexpected that the other party would suddenly make such a request.

Because he himself has only been to the Neilanser Islands once, and it was to extract the energy of the local mage tower, he has no idea what Vanessa has developed there.

Lord Nasir nodded with a smile: "That's right, it's now. Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I only believe what I see with my own eyes. If you can really transform the pirates in the Nelanthir Islands , then I am willing to support your war against Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood. And I will also help persuade the towns around Luskan."

"Well, I just want to drop by and have a look. But are you sure you don't need to say hello to Ms. Erebes, or anyone else? I don't want to cause any misunderstanding." Zuo Si kindly reminded.

"It's not necessary. Besides, I'll leave a note."

Saying so, Lord Nasir picked up the quill pen on the table and dipped it in ink, quickly wrote a line of boy on a piece of parchment, then took off the crown on his head, stood up and walked to Zuo Si's side.

Soon, with the sound of incantations, Zuo Si quickly completed the teleportation magic, and disappeared without a trace with the "Lord of Neverwinter".

Just a second later, the two appeared on the streets of the port city of Ioma Island.

After more than a year of development, especially refugees from the Tethyr Kingdom fleeing the war, artisans and farmers attracted from Baldur's Gate and West Hartland, and escaped slaves from Calimshan, the population here has reached There were about 45,000 people.

If the peasants living in the villages and other islands were added, the total population would have approached 250,000, which was definitely a medium-sized power.

Coupled with the large number of merchants who came here for trade, the whole city looked unusually prosperous and crowded.

Especially the large number of warehouses on the wharf, densely packed with all kinds of goods.

The market was filled with noisy hawking, and many people gathered together to scramble for the local specialty salt and sugar, and then transport them by sea to other cities for sale.

Not far from the area where there are many workshops, billowing black smoke can be vaguely seen.

Countless workers are busy with their heads down.

Or make sugar from the harvested sugar cane, and then process the sugar into candies with different tastes, or refine coarse salt into clean and white fine salt.

Even the by-products and residue of sugar refining are fermented into strong rum.

With these two industries alone, the Neilansir Islands can earn a lot of gold coins every month.

In addition, the fishing industry and pearl farming industry are also quite developed.

Because they control a large number of undead creatures that don't need to breathe, it is very convenient to pick or put the rounded spherical pearl nucleus, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by dangerous sea creatures.

And in Faerun, pearls, as a kind of gemstone, are not just decorations, but can also be used to make magic items.

So no matter how big the output is, it can never keep up with the consumption rate.

Even the most common pearls are worth at least fifty to one hundred gold coins.

But right now, these pearls that have only been cultivated for one year are not worth picking, at least two or three years before they can be picked.

Appreciating the prosperous scene in the city, Lord Nasir couldn't help sighing slightly: "It's really good. It seems that the description in the letter by Your Excellency Kelben is not exaggerated. If the houses and buildings are not very new, I wouldn't even I can’t believe it was done here in less than two years.”

"This is all thanks to the turbulent situation in Tethyr, and the crazily squeezing of slaves by Calishite merchants and nobles. Without them, I don't think it would be possible to absorb so many immigrants in a short period of time." Zuo Si Shrugged and explained.

As the saying goes, it all depends on peers.

He never thought that the system and laws he implemented in the Neilansir Islands were so good, but the countries in the surrounding areas were getting worse and worse.

Needless to say, the Kingdom of Tethyr was in the middle of a civil war. The lords were fighting for the crown, and their brains were about to be blown out, so there was no need to care about the lives of civilians.

Therefore, all the people at the bottom who longed for a peaceful life naturally ran here frantically dragging their families along.

The witty lord of Myratma, Lord Weeks Targett, even started a business helping transport refugees.

By providing food and simple accommodation for these fleeing people, and selling boat tickets to the Neilanser Islands by the way, he can be said to have made a lot of money.

Not only did it make up for the huge losses caused by the siege by the monster army and the red dragon before, but its strength began to expand rapidly.

Hearing from the liches in the organization, his army is constantly expanding eastward along the Yi Si River, and has defeated several enemies who took advantage of the fire before, and has become the most powerful nobleman in the western part of the Tethyr Kingdom except for the capital Zazespor .

As for Calimshan, due to being controlled by the entanglement symbol all the year round, it is already on the verge of being ruined.

Intrigues, conflicts, and assassinations of all kinds fill the streets and alleys of every city.

The plethora of thieves' guilds are like weeds, one will disappear and another will rise.

Given the chance, the slaves would find ways to escape.

Some merchant ships willing to take a little risk will secretly take in escaped slaves and transport them to the Nelanthal Islands in exchange for bounties.

"Doesn't this just prove that your rule is much better than those of these two countries? Seeing that even the chaotic Nelanthal Islands have become a place of order, I believe that Luskan can also rule under your rule." It will become a normal city-state. After all, the living conditions in the Northland are already quite harsh, and all towns and cities should unite together to face the threat from the wild world."

While saying these words, Lord Nasir clearly revealed a trace of exhaustion.

Obviously, ruling Neverwinter is not as easy as outsiders imagined.

Among other things, the Neverwinter Forest just to the east of the city is populated by warlike barbarians, titans, dragons, and other dangerous creatures.

If these guys are dominated by some evil force, the Pearl of the North can be razed to the ground in an instant.

Not to mention that underground in Neverwinter City, there is also a creator race relic, as well as a volcano that may erupt at any time.

Yes, the city really sits on top of a volcano.

Those hot springs that brought prosperity to Neverwinter might spew out hot magma that would destroy everything at any time.

Of course, these Nasir lords definitely don't know.

Because just one Neverwinter Forest and one Luskan were enough to give him a headache.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si Zudong stretched out his right hand and said, "Then wish us a happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation." Lord Nasir also extended his right hand and shook it vigorously, and then added: "I heard that you are using a large number of undead creatures for agricultural production and heavy physical labor? It is not good to do so. I think it should stop immediately."

"Sorry, it's impossible to do it in a short period of time. Because there is a serious shortage of labor on the Narenthel Islands, especially the work in quarrying and mines is often very dangerous. I think it is more appropriate to use undead creatures than living people. " Zuo Si rejected the other party's proposal without hesitation.

What a joke!

The rapid development of the Nelanthir Islands and the average living standard higher than all the cities in Faerun are all supported by these free coolies who do not need to eat, rest, or pay wages.

Without them, the entire city would quickly become stagnant.

Facts have proved that if the level of productivity has not reached a very high level, and the living standards of people in some countries and regions are very high, then people in other places must be exploited through a series of means.

It may be severely unequal trade, or it may be direct war and plunder.

In short, neither resources nor wealth are born out of thin air.

And the tens of thousands of undead creatures are the basis for supporting the prosperity of the Neilanser Islands.

Realizing that Zuo Si would not stop using the undead creatures, Lord Nasir immediately frowned.

As a follower and believer of the God of Justice, he is undoubtedly quite disgusted with awakening and manipulating undead creatures.

But considering that these undead are engaged in production rather than war, he finally chose to take a step back and said in a very serious tone: "Then you must ensure that after the occupation of Luskan, those undead creatures will not be allowed Cross the border and enter the sphere of influence of Neverwinter."

"no problem."

Zuo Si readily nodded in agreement.

In this way, after a series of bargaining, the two finally finalized a cooperation agreement.

When the fleet of the Nelanthir Islands is ready to launch a war, Neverwinter will gather a coalition force to contain part of Luskan's forces.

There is no doubt that this cooperation agreement is very important to Zuo Si.

It means that when dealing with Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood, they are no longer isolated politically, but have many allies.

Don't underestimate this.

Because this can directly make the masked lords of Waterdeep City completely dispel the idea of ​​intervening.

The next thing Zuo Si has to do is to go to Silvermoon City, the last stop of this trip to the Northland, to visit the most famous "social butterfly" Alustriel among the seven sisters.

But before that, he visited Neverwinter at the kind invitation of Lord Nasir, and tasted some of the special fruits here.

It was already three days later when we set off again.

Since Silvermoon City is located far inland, if you go by land, don't expect to arrive within ten days and a half months.

So Zuo Si resolutely chose the group to teleport to the place where the last time he tested the physics holy ball map to kill the orcs.

As a result, as soon as his feet landed, he immediately heard a roar in the orc language not far away.

"That's the guy! Quick! Go up and kill him!"

"Great Gruumsh, please grant me strength!"

"Come on!"

In the blink of an eye, a group of fully armed orcs swarmed from the woods.

Unlike the ordinary orcs with poor equipment, these guys all wore pretty good armor without exception, and most of the weapons in their hands shone with arcane aura, so they must have a certain level of enchantment.

Most importantly, all of these orcs were blind in one eye.

When they approached, they all activated their berserk abilities instantly, and the muscles all over their bodies swelled out of thin air.

Some orcs suspected of being priests even raised their hands and chanted words praising the gods loudly, blessing themselves or their companions with divine spells one by one.

Needless to ask, these orcs who attacked suddenly were all warriors selected from the orc tribes who had suffered huge losses before, and they came only to kill Zuo Si.

The reason why they lost one eye was not because they were injured in the battle, but because they dug it out in some religious ceremony to obtain the special profession blessed by the orc god Gruumsh—the Eye of Gruumsh.

Without any hesitation!

No need for any hesitation!

Everyone in the entire team immediately entered a fighting state.

As a magic archer, Lantis immediately activated the [Arrow Rain] skill, shooting deadly arrows quickly and continuously with lightning-fast movements.

In just a few seconds, an arrow was inserted into the body of a dozen orcs rushing forward.

One-third of them fell to the ground and died on the spot, but the remaining two-thirds continued to sprint with terrifying wounds, without any intention of stopping at all.

Because they turned on the berserk ability during the charge, and temporarily ignored the pain by secreting a large amount of adrenaline.

Moreover, these fighters who have advanced to the Eye of Gruumsh are obviously much stronger in defense than ordinary orcs.

Coupled with the blessing of divine magic, one is more ferocious and fearless than the other, and they are not afraid of death at all.

Even if Alaina set up a wall of fire on the way forward, the opponent would rush over without hesitation, letting the flames burn her skin.

"Damn it! These guys are a bunch of lunatics." The pyromancer couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

"Hahahaha! Don't worry! Old Korgan will kill them all."

The dwarf berserker let out a bloodthirsty laugh, and he also activated his berserk ability to meet him. He swung his ax and fought with the orc warrior at the front.

The half-orc Rhett swung a two-handed axe, blocking the orc warriors rushing from the other side.

Through the intense hand-to-hand combat, it is easy to see that the general level of these orc fighters is around LV14.

Even if the weapons and equipment are completely crushed, they can still withstand the violent attacks of Korgan and others, and even gain the upper hand by virtue of their numerical advantage.

The werewolf girl Van Ges, who participated in this level of battle for the first time, was extremely nervous. She tried to transform herself several times to rush to help, but was stopped by Zuo Si.

Even her animal companion, a sturdy winter wolf, stayed by his master's side obediently and did not dare to act rashly.

Perhaps winter wolves are indeed the most ferocious and cunning hunters in the Far North, but these orc warriors with an average level of LV14 only need an ax to kill them on the spot.

There is no doubt that this was a well-prepared ambush and attack.

The orcs even obtained the corresponding information in advance through some means, and then gathered here and set up an ambush.

Since he was setting up an ambush to kill himself, the twenty or so fighters and four or five priests in front of him were obviously not enough.

At least with their occupational level and weaponry, it is absolutely impossible to kill a Chosen who is watched by the gods and bestowed with great power.

Only the Chosen can kill the Chosen, or a powerful enough legendary professional.

So Zuo Si stopped shooting after buffing his teammates with some enhanced arcane spells and magic spells. Instead, he squinted his eyes and looked around, trying to find out the real enemy hidden nearby.

After all, with Alena's fire magic and a powerful archer for long-range fire support, Korgan, Rhett and Abra are enough to deal with the enemies in front of them, but it just takes a little time.

Facts have proved that Zuo Si's judgment is correct.

Just as those berserk orcs started to fall one by one, the other two orcs hiding in the dark finally couldn't hold back their shots.

I saw one of them holding a spear with dazzling arcane aura, and the whole person rushed out of the hiding place at an unbelievable speed, and stabbed directly in the direction of Zuo Si.

It took him less than three seconds to cover the distance of hundreds of meters!

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that they would not even have time to react, and they would be penetrated instantly.

But the Japanese Elf Demon Archer is obviously not an ordinary person.

Not only did he react in time, but he also quickly shot a tracking arrow, trying to slow down the speed of the opponent's sprint.

But this orc didn't intend to dodge, parry or block at all.

Behind him, another orc priest completed the spell in his hand.

A dazzling red light descended from the sky, covering the charging orc warriors.

In less than a tenth of a second, the latter's body was covered with a layer of divine power, and the original green skin surface instantly seemed to be bathed in blood plasma.

The moment the tracking arrow shot up, he was spread out by the invisible force field, and he couldn't cause even a little damage at all.

There is no doubt that this is a nine-ring magic spell [miracle spell], and it can also be understood as a magical version of [wish spell].

Its working principle is very simple, that is, the priest asks the god he serves to lower his power to interfere to a certain extent.

Although it may not be as wide as the wishing technique, and it depends on the level and mood of the gods, once it succeeds, it is definitely enough to reverse the situation in an instant.

Seeing the orc warrior rushing towards him with a spear in hand, Zuo Si didn't panic at all, and directly activated the magic card hidden in his sleeve.

next second...

A huge fist made of a force field appeared out of thin air, hitting the opponent head-on.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

Due to the astonishing strength, the latter immediately flew backward for hundreds of meters like a cannonball, smashing several pillars in succession, and barely stopped.

You don't need to ask, you know, this spell card stores the eight-ring magic [Bigby Vajra Fist].

Unlike the big hand magic of the Bigby series, which is mostly palm-shaped grappling, this spell is transformed into a fist to give the enemy a head-on blow.

Its power is so direct that it can even directly stop a running train at full speed.

Therefore, the faster the speed and the higher the quality of the opponent, the greater the reaction force to be endured.

According to the sprint speed of the orc warrior just now, he should have turned into blood mist and flesh mud in an instant.

It's a pity that the layer of plasma-like red mucus covered this guy's body obviously greatly improved his physical fitness and ability to resist blows.

Not to mention turning into flesh and blood mist, there is not even a little injury.

After a while, he struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes gleaming with anger and hatred.

As for the pastor, he patted him on the shoulder, and then walked forward slowly side by side.

Judging from the performance of the two, they are probably legends whose professional level exceeds LV21, maybe they are still voters.

Obviously, Zuo Si's behavior last time made the orc gods quite annoyed.

"Human! You are dead today!" The orc warrior was the first to speak viciously.

"A lot of people have said that to me, and I'm still alive and they're gone. I don't think there will be any surprises this time."

Zuo Si responded with a casual look on purpose.
