Chapter 252: Alliance with Neverwinter City (a 10,000-Word Chapter, Please Subscribe)

Starting from Waterdeep City, passing through the winding paths between the Sword Mountains and the Swamp of the Dead, Zuo Si finally led the team to the City of Neverwinter.

Although they encountered some harassment from lizards 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 the elf magic archer Lantis, who just joined the team, is simply a human-shaped arrow tower.

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

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

Not only will the range become very long, but the moment it touches the target, the muscles and internal organs near the site of the arrow will be quickly torn.

Anyone hit by the arrows he shoots will basically be a horrible bloody hole with bloody flesh.

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

In addition, this guy also masters quite a few low-level spells, among which [Anti-Enemy Opportunity] allows him to accurately hit targets 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 kill dozens of incoming enemies or monsters.

The tracking arrow allows those unlucky ones who are trying to escape and hide to taste the taste of having nothing to hide.

Even if they hold up a shield and hide behind a bunker, they will be shot to the side by tracking arrows.

There is no doubt that a profession like the Magic Archer, which infuses various magics into arrows and has an extremely long attack range, is an absolute nightmare for those warriors who can only attack people by rushing in front of them.

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

That is no different from seeking death.

In addition, the weapon he used was a two-handed axe. It was estimated that he would be shot and killed on the way forward if he rushed out seventy or eighty meters at most, without even a chance to get close.

In contrast, Old Corgan was more blunt, saying that he was shorter and had a lower chassis, so he was not easily hit by arrows, so he would definitely be able to rush forward.

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

Because all fools know that even though a dwarf is a little short, he can't help but grow sideways. From a distance, he looks like a meaty mound.

If not protected by any armor, place an adult human and a dwarf together and rain down arrows on them both.

The latter must have had many more arrows than the former.

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

Regarding this kind of argument and bickering, Lantis just smiled modestly and did not get involved.

Abala, the spotted cat man, obviously prefers to focus on the surrounding scenery.

Because I had been living deep in the tropical rain forest of the Maztec continent before, I had never seen the animals and plants of the boreal forest, so I was full of curiosity about everything. I even climbed up the treetops to catch a fat squirrel and keep it as a pet. Be around.

However, from the way the squirrel struggled and screamed in anger, it was easy to see that it actually didn't like its new owner at all and was always trying every possible means to escape.

Just talking and laughing all the way while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere, the team finally passed through the gate of Neverwinter a few days later and officially entered this pearl of the North.

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

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

Zuo Si explained patiently: "That is related to the population size.

There are less than 20,000 citizens in Neverwinter. Counting the surrounding radiation and indirect control areas, the total number does not exceed 150,000 to 200,000.

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

Therefore, these two places would have problems if Neverwinter City did not prosper.

In addition, the city of Neverwinter is geographically closer to the Arctic Glacier, so its climate and agricultural output are not as unique as the first two.

And with a bad neighbor like Luskan, it's pretty good that it has developed into what it is now.

In my opinion, the excellence of a city and its rulers does not depend on the city's prosperity, but on the material life and spiritual outlook of its citizens.

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

Especially the green belts and parks in the city are almost invisible in other cities in Faerûn.

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

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

The term "Neverwinter" in the city of Neverwinter may have originated from this. "

"Okay, it seems that this Nasir does have a problem. But I hate the followers of Tyr, the God of Justice. Those guys always act like I represent justice and it's disgusting." Korgan curled his lips and complained. .

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

However, Zuo Si had reservations about this.

Just when everyone started discussing which tavern or hotel they should go to to have something to eat and drink first, and ask the locals about what happened recently, a group of soldiers suddenly came over from a distance and surrounded the entire group. live.

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

"Yes, I am." Zuo Si nodded lightly.

He was not the least bit surprised that the people in Neverwinter discovered him so quickly.

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

This is true in Askatra, it is true in Baldur's Gate, it is true in Waterdeep City, and it is naturally no exception in Neverwinter City.

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

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

Therefore, Neverwinter has its own independent intelligence agency.

Most of their time on weekdays is mainly to capture spies in Luskan, and then figure out what conspiracy this evil neighbor is planning.

"Welcome to Neverwinter City. Lord Nasir already knows your intention and has been waiting for many days. Please come with me."

As she spoke, the half-elf woman made a gesture of invitation.

"Who are you……"

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

"My name is Aribes, Aribes de Timmarande. I am a paladin who serves the God of Justice and is also the assistant of Lord Nasir."

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

moment!

Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise that was not easy to detect, but he quickly pretended that nothing happened and followed him towards the direction of Neverwinter Castle.

In about ten minutes, when the group walked through the heavily guarded castle gate and walked inside, they soon met Lord Nasir, who was famous among Northland adventurers.

Different from the tall and majestic image in the rumors, he looks neither strong nor majestic. Sitting on the chair, he looks like a middle-aged and elderly man whose body has begun to decline. A lot of white strands can be seen in his hair.

In a one-on-one battle, whether it's Korgan, Rhett, or Abara, they can easily defeat them.

After all, this lord's warrior level is not high, only LV12.

Although he can be considered an elite in a mixed adventure, in the eyes of truly powerful top warriors, he is just a slightly more 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 correct judgments on the current situation in complex situations.

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

Because it was their support that allowed the former to become the nominal supreme leader of the city.

However, all of this gradually disappeared from the market due to Lord Nasir's outstanding political skills and level of governance.

Just when Zuo Si was looking at the "Lord of Neverwinter" who was quite famous and influential in the North with great interest, Aribes took the initiative to step forward, bowed, and reported softly: "Sir, I will take them with you." coming."

"Well done. Now please take the others to the next hall to dine. I have something I want to talk to this young elect alone." Lord Nasir gave the order straightforwardly.

It was obvious that he was not interested in the other members of the team, let alone wasting his precious time on small talk.

"As you wish."

Aribes put one hand on her chest and bowed again, then turned around and said to Korgan and others: "Dear guests, please come with me. The kitchen has prepared a sumptuous banquet and the most famous food in Neverwinter. The fine wine can wash away the fatigue of the journey."

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

Obviously, no one would leave with the half-elf paladin before getting Zuo Si's consent.

Regarding this situation, Lord Nasir immediately showed an expression of surprise and disbelief.

Because he had also been an adventurer before, he understood that this reaction meant that Zuo Si had 100% absolute control over everyone in the team.

And he had never seen such a team leader in his more than ten years of adventure.

Fortunately, Zuo Si did not embarrass Aribes for too long and immediately nodded slightly to him in the team.

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

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

Zuo Si replied calmly: "Yes. But before taking action, I need to confirm the attitude of all the important cities in the North. As the city closest to Luskan, Neverwinter should be the city that hopes to see Luskan the most. The existing rulers are being liquidated. So Lord Kelburn thought you would support me and help me convince other towns in the surrounding areas."

"I see.

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

You must know that many of the people making a living in Luskan are pirates who made their fortune by robbing merchant ships, as well as greedy businessmen who help them sell stolen goods, traffic narcotics and provide supplies.

If these guys are not rectified, there will be no fundamental changes in Luskan. "

Lord Nasir raised many of the issues he was most concerned about in one go.

What he fears most now is that after wiping out the Arcane Brotherhood, Luskan will not only become a friendly neighbor, but will instead become a huge threat to Neverwinter and even the entire Northland under the rule of a more powerful force.

You must know that Neverwinter City has suffered countless attacks and plots from Luskan since its establishment until now.

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 robbery for a living into laborers.

Let them build roads, farms, or work in mining, quarrying, etc., until they truly repent and regain their freedom.

As for those businessmen engaged in illegal business, I will confiscate all their property and turn them into useless paupers.

By then, Luskan's population may have dropped by about one-third from the current 15,000.

But it can bring it back on track from an abnormally chaotic economic and social structure.

With the vested interest groups and upper-level rulers of the past being completely cleaned out, Luskan will not have any pirates or organizations like the Thieves Guild in the future.

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

Zuo Si explained patiently.

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

The reason is simple. Neverwinter's military strength is too weak.

The total number of guards in the entire city is only a few hundred.

If a war does break out, at best, about a thousand more militiamen will be recruited.

But what about Luskan?

There are thousands of battle-hardened pirates alone.

In addition, a large amount of gold coins earned through the slave trade, selling narcotics and special products 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 literally hang Neverwinter up in a head-to-head confrontation.

In fact, what really prevented Luskan from annexing or destroying Neverwinter was never Neverwinter itself, but the City of Waterdeep and Silvermoon that supported Neverwinter.

"Purge?!"

Lord Nasir's eyes widened in shock.

"That's right, the Great Purge."

Zuo Si nodded seriously.

"Because if we don't clean out those pirates, the Thieves Guild, and the Arcane Brotherhood, there's no way Luskan can make changes.

This is a simple economic question.

First of all, we must solve the problem of employment among the citizens of Luskan and let them know that they can fill their stomachs and support their families without becoming pirates.

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

By confiscating the wealth of those merchants and pirates, it can not only serve as a warning to everyone, but also use the money as start-up capital to hire civilians to build roads, farms, and pastures, giving them a stable job and income. By the way, we can achieve the redistribution of social wealth.

As for those extremely vicious pirate leaders and high-ranking members of the Arcane Brotherhood, their hands are already stained with the blood of their victims.

Therefore, they died unjustly and did not deserve sympathy at all.

Only when all these people die will the original social organizational structure collapse.

Transforming Luskan is destined to be a very long process, which may take several years or more than ten years.

But I can assure you that if this city is under my control, it will never bring any threat to Neverwinter.

On the contrary, we can work together and exchange knowledge. "

Lord Nasir immediately showed approval when he heard these words: "You are right. The fundamental reason why Luskan has become a gathering place for pirates and unscrupulous traders is that the barren land of Luskan cannot sustain food. Not that much population.

Moreover, this city stands on the edge of civilization, and wars often break out with barbarian clans and orc tribes. Gradually, it is inevitably influenced by the other parties and is keen on plundering and expansion.

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

I heard Lord Kelben say that you successfully transformed the pirates in the Nelanthal Islands and established order in the Sword Sea and the central Sword Coast.

If you don't mind, can you take me to see it with my own eyes? "

"Now?"

Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise, not expecting the other party to suddenly make such a request.

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

Lord Nasir smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's right now. Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I only believe what I see with my own eyes. If you can really transform the pirates of Nelanser Islands, , then I am willing to support your war against Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood. And I will also help convince the towns around Luskan."

"Okay, I just want to take a look on the way. But are you sure you don't need to say hello to Ms. Aribes or anyone else? I don't want to cause any misunderstanding." Zuo Si reminded kindly.

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

With that said, Lord Nasir picked up the quill 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, accompanied by the sound of mantra chanting, Zuo Si quickly completed the teleportation magic, and disappeared without a trace with the "Lord of Neverwinter City".

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 the refugees from the Kingdom of Tethyr escaping the war, the craftsmen and farmers attracted from Baldur's Gate and West Heartland, and the escaped slaves of Calimshan, the population here has reached There were about 45,000 people.

If you add in the farmers living in villages and other islands, the total population is approaching 250,000, which is definitely a medium-sized force.

Coupled with the large number of merchants who came here to trade, the entire city looked extremely prosperous and crowded.

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

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

Not far away, in an area lined with workshops, billowing black smoke can be vaguely seen.

Countless workers are busy with their heads down.

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

Even the by-products and residues of sugar refining are fermented to make strong rum.

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

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

Since it controls a large number of undead creatures that do not need to breathe, it is very convenient to pick or put the rounded spherical pearl cores in. There is no need to worry about being attacked by dangerous marine creatures.

And in Faerûn, 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 rate of consumption.

Even the most common pearl is worth at least fifty to one hundred gold coins.

But right now, these pearls that have only been cultivated for a year are not worth picking, and it will take at least two or three years to harvest them.

Admiring the prosperous scene in the city, Lord Nasir couldn't help but sigh slightly: "It's really good. It seems that Lord Kelben's description in the letter was not exaggerated. If the houses and buildings were not very new, I wouldn't even think of it. I can believe that this was done here in less than two years.”

"This is all thanks to the turbulent situation in Tethyr and the crazy exploitation of slaves by Calishite merchants and nobles. Without them, I think it would have been impossible to absorb so many immigrants in a short period of time." Zuo Sisheng He shrugged his shoulders and explained.

As the saying goes, it all depends on peers.

He never thought that the system and laws he implemented in the Nelanser Islands were very good, but he couldn't stand that the countries in the surrounding areas were worse than the other.

Needless to say, the Kingdom of Tethyr is in the middle of a civil war. The lords are fighting for the crown, and their brains are about to be beaten out. How can they care about the lives of the civilians.

Therefore, all the people at the bottom who are eager to live a peaceful life will naturally run here frantically dragging their families and families.

The clever lord of Mylatma City, Earl Wix Targett, even started a business to help transport refugees.

By providing food and simple shelter to these fleeing people, and selling ferry tickets to the Nelanser Islands, he can be said to have made a lot of money.

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

I heard from the lichs in the organization that his army is constantly expanding eastward along the Is River. He has defeated several enemies who had taken advantage of the situation before, and has become the most powerful noble in the western part of the Kingdom of Tethyr except for the capital Zazesbo. .

As for Calimshan, due to being controlled by the entangled talisman for many years, it was already on the verge of being destroyed.

Conspiracies, conflicts and assassinations abound in the streets of every city.

The numerous thieves guilds are like weeds, one disappears and another one rises.

Given the opportunity, slaves would find ways to escape.

Some merchant ships who are willing to take some risks will secretly take in escaped slaves and transport them to the Nelanthel Islands in exchange for bounties.

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

When saying these words, Lord Nasir clearly showed a hint of fatigue.

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

Among other things, the Neverwinter Forest just east of the city is home to a large number of warlike barbarians, giants, dragons and various other dangerous creatures.

If these guys are controlled 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, there are ruins of a creator race and a volcano that may erupt at any time.

Yes, the city is literally located on the crater of a volcano.

Those hot springs that brought prosperity to Neverwinter City might soon spew out scalding magma that would destroy everything.

Of course, these Lord Nasir must not know anything about it.

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

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

"Happy cooperation." Lord Nasir also stretched out his right hand and shook it vigorously, then added: "I heard that you are using undead creatures in large quantities to engage in agricultural production and heavy manual labor? This is not good. I think it should stop immediately.”

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

What a joke!

The rapid development of the Nelanthel Islands and the average living standard higher than that of all cities in Faerûn 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 depressed.

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 created out of thin air.

And tens of thousands of undead creatures are the foundation that supports the prosperity of the Nelanser Islands.

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

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

But considering that these undead were engaged in production rather than used in war, he finally chose to take a step back and said in a very serious tone: "Then you must ensure that after occupying Luskan, you will not let those undead creatures Crossing the border and entering the sphere of influence of Neverwinter City.”

"no problem."

Zuo Si nodded happily and agreed.

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

When the fleet of Nelanthel Islands prepares to launch a war, Neverwinter will come forward to assemble a coalition force to contain some 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 give up the idea of ​​​​intervention.

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

But before that, he still visited Neverwinter City at Lord Nasir's warm invitation and tasted some of the specialty fruits here.

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

Since Silver Moon City is located far inland, if you take the land route, don't expect to reach it within ten days and a half.

So Zuo Si decisively chose to teleport to the place where the orcs were killed on the Holy Ball Map of Physics last tested.

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

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

"Great Gruumsh, please grant me power!"

"Come on!"

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

Different from the ordinary orcs with poor equipment that they encountered before, these guys without exception all wear quite good armor, and most of the weapons in their hands are shining with arcane aura, and they must have a certain level of enchantment.

The most important thing is that, without exception, these orcs are blind in one eye.

When they got close, they all activated their violent abilities instantly, and the muscles all over their bodies expanded out of thin air.

Some orcs who looked like priests raised their hands in the air and loudly chanted words praising the gods, blessing themselves or their companions with magical spells one by one.

You don't need to ask to know that these orcs who suddenly attacked were warriors selected from the orc tribes that 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 battle, but because they dug it out themselves during some kind of religious ceremony to obtain the special profession blessed by the orc god Gruumsh - the Eye of Gruumsh.

No 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 who were rushing forward.

One-third of them fell to the ground and died on the spot, but the remaining two-thirds continued to sprint with horrific wounds, with no intention of stopping.

Because they activated their violent abilities during the charge, they temporarily ignored the pain by secreting a large amount of adrenaline.

Moreover, the defense of these warriors who have advanced the Eye of Gruumsh is obviously much stronger than that of ordinary orcs.

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

Even if Alena sets up a wall of fire on the way forward, the opponent will rush over without hesitation and let the flames burn his skin.

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

"Hahahaha! Don't worry! Old Corgan will kill them all and leave no one behind."

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

The half-orc Rhett waved his two-handed ax to block the orc warriors rushing from the other side.

Through the intense hand-to-hand combat, it can be easily seen that the general level of these orc warriors is around LV14.

Even if their weapons and equipment were completely crushed, they could still withstand the fierce attacks from Corgan and others, and even gain the upper hand with their numerical advantage.

The werewolf girl Fangus, who was participating in a battle of this level for the first time, seemed extremely nervous. She wanted to transform several times and rush to help, but she was stopped by Zuo Si.

Even her animal companion, a sturdy winter wolf, stayed by her master's side 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 can kill them on the spot with just one axe.

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 him, the twenty-odd soldiers and four or five priests in front of him were obviously not enough.

At least with their professional level and weapons and equipment, it is absolutely impossible to kill a chosen one who is paid attention to and given powerful power by the gods.

The only people who can kill the voters are the voters, or the legendary professionals who are powerful enough.

So Zuo Si stopped taking action after blessing his teammates with some enhanced arcane and divine spells. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings, trying to find the real enemy hiding nearby.

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

Facts proved that Zuo Si's judgment was correct.

Just as those violent orcs began to fall one after another, the other two orcs hiding in the dark finally couldn't hold back and took action.

One of them was seen holding a spear glowing with dazzling arcane aura. The whole person rushed out of the hiding place at an incredible speed and stabbed directly in the direction of Zuo Si.

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

If it were an ordinary person, he might not even have time to react and would be penetrated instantly.

But the sun elf magic archer is obviously not an ordinary person.

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

But this orc had no intention of evading, parrying or blocking.

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

A dazzling red light fell from the sky and enveloped the sprinting orc warrior.

In less than a tenth of a second, the latter's body was covered with a layer of divine power, and the surface of his originally green skin instantly felt like it was bathed in plasma.

When the tracking arrow shot up, he was spread out by the invisible force field, unable to cause even a little bit of damage.

There is no doubt that this is a nine-ring magic [Miracle Technique], which can also be understood as a magical version of [Wish Technique].

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

Although it may not be as wide-ranging as the wish-making spell, and it also depends on the level and mood of the god, once successful, it is definitely enough to turn the situation around in an instant.

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

The next second...

A huge fist made of a force field appeared out of thin air and hit the opponent head on.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

Because the power was so amazing, the latter immediately flew back hundreds of meters like a cannonball, breaking several pillars in succession before barely stopping.

You don't need to ask to know that this spell card stores the eight-ring magic [Big Worship Vajra Fist].

Unlike the big-hand magic in the Bigbai series, which is mostly a palm-shaped grapple, this spell turns into a fist to hit the enemy head-on.

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

Therefore, the faster and higher the opponent's quality is, the greater the reaction force will be.

According to the orc warrior's sprinting speed just now, he should have turned into blood mist and flesh in an instant.

Unfortunately, the layer of blood-like red mucus covering 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 wasn't even a single injury.

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

As for the priest, 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, and they may still be voters.

Obviously, Zuo Si's last action made the orc gods quite angry.

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

"Many people have said this to me, but now I am still alive and well, but they are no longer here. I think there will be no surprises this time."

Zuo Si responded deliberately pretending to be nonchalant.
