- After all, the red dragon Yin Lim couldn't hold on until the moment when William's magic weapon descended from the sky. The enemy she faced was too strong. Each of the five top warriors held weapons specially designed to slay dragons.
What's more, there are two top spellcasters among the dragon slayers, and their spells always make the red dragon difficult to deal with.
When William rushed to the scene in a hurry, Red Dragon had already fallen into a pool of blood. The dragon slayers from Zhentil Castle chopped off Yin Lim's slightly twisted head and dug out the red dragon's heart.
Just as these executioners were dividing the trophies wantonly, the sudden screams of flames shocked everyone's heart.
William turned into a ball of terrifying angry flames, covering the red dragon's body as well as the unprepared enemies. However, the flames that were enough to burn gold and bones did not directly take away even a single life of the enemy as William wished.
The reason is very simple. In order to fight against the red dragon's breath of flames, these dragon slayers specially prepared a lot of equipment with high fire resistance. Therefore, the lethality of the flames controlled by William is naturally not as lethal as the red dragon's breath. The dragons had a glimmer of hope.
Of course, life is just a chance to survive. Whether they can truly survive depends on whether these people can seize the opportunity completely.
In this regard, the spellcasters of Zhentil Castle are undoubtedly better at seizing opportunities than those warriors. They activated their escape spells almost at the same time they encountered danger.
The escaped spellcaster William has no way to pursue him for the time being, but it is difficult for the five warriors surrounded by flames to escape from his grasp.
William did not transform back into human form, but used the amorphous body of the Fire Lord to control the flames that soared into the sky, burning the air around the red dragon's corpse with waves of heat.
The people of Zhentil Castle who had just put on the title of "Dragon Slayer" were still a little clever. They knew that the fire resistance equipment on their bodies could not completely guarantee that they would not be harmed by a little flame, so a few of them used the wings of the red dragon as a weapon. It is covered with natural fire-resistant equipment.
It¡¯s just that although these people avoided the direct burning of the flames, they didn¡¯t know that a more deadly threat was approaching.
Soon, the five top warriors who were strong enough to catch tigers in the mountains and capture dragons in the sea felt something was wrong. They felt a little suffocated and began to breathe involuntarily. The hot air around them was filtered by a special anti-heat talisman and filtered out again. It turned into a cooler breath and was inhaled into the lungs, but it did not relieve the suffocating feeling at all.
The flames drained all the oxygen from the air. Even if those magic talismans could turn the hot air enough to burn the trachea and lungs back into cold air with a suitable temperature for humans, they could not change the oxygen necessary for breathing.
???????????????????? And this is the power of knowledge.
In the end, the five top warriors died of suffocation in the pain of lack of oxygen. They didn't even know why they ended up like this. In their last thoughts, they might have thought that this was a fatal curse.
The death of the red dragon made William quite regretful. Although he did not have a deep friendship with Yin Lim, he was still his partner. William would not ignore the sacrifices of others just because their friendship was too shallow.
Although the red dragon is full of treasures, William does not think it is a happy thing to dismember the corpses of his fallen comrades and then make them into so-called equipment.
¡°Some people may say that it is a kind of romance to let a part of our dead comrades fight side by side with us forever. However, this so-called romance was not recognized by William. He preferred to let the souls of those who died in the war rest in peace, and the remains of the victims to return to dust and soil to earth.
Therefore, except for leaving some claws and teeth of the red dragon as a souvenir, most of Yin Lim's remains were sent into the world of fire by William and buried in a semi-sleeping lava pool.
Since the top strong men from Zhentil Castle had to die or flee, no matter how rebellious the people of Faunla were after the city wall was breached, it would be difficult for them to change their fate of being conquered by the enemy.
Especially when William returned to the main battlefield and participated in the command of the entire city's mopping up battle, everyone on both sides knew that the overall situation had been decided.
William knew very well that in such a chaotic time when he was first trapped in an enemy city, it was necessary to establish his authority through severe punishment.
At this time, those stragglers who originally belonged to Faunla, the local gangsters who took advantage of the situation, and even some people with ulterior motives were the ones who caused the most serious harm to the ordinary civilians of the city and the reputation of the conquerors.
William ordered his soldiers to detain anyone who was running around in the streets of Fornla. Any rioters involved in robbery, forcible rape, murder and arson were directly killed on the spot.
This also led to the pacification of the chaos in Fuenla City.In the process, more than ten times more people were killed than on the frontal battlefield at the beginning.
The reason is very simple. Those Fuenla defeated soldiers who fled back to the city did not regard the residents of the city as their own. Most of them were the puppet lords of Fuenla who paid to hire them at the request of the Zhentil Fort people. foreign mercenaries.
When these outsiders faced the disastrous defeat of losing their basic necessities, most of them thought of grabbing some extra money in the city before running away or surrendering.
Of course, this is also the norm for mercenaries in most areas of Faer?n. They just grab things when they have nothing to do. For mercenaries, there is no faster way to get rich.
"However, the fate of mercenaries who like to loot is generally not very good, and the group of unlucky people who had fun in the city of Fuenla were even worse. They even had their heads chopped off directly.
It was precisely because of William's cruelty that the locals in Fuenla were not as resistant to him as they imagined. Some militiamen composed of locals even spontaneously helped William. People on one side maintain order in the town.
After all, the manpower under William is really insufficient, and the control of the entire Fuenla is naturally not satisfactory. That is to say, the deterrent power of the Golem Mecha is amazing enough, otherwise it would be really difficult to completely overwhelm the cunning Fuenla people. It's a bit laborious.
Fortunately, the day after the city of Fuenla was captured, the Army of Shadow Valley appeared outside the city of Fuenla. This belated army consisted of four to five hundred people. Although a large number of its members They were all a ragtag group of people who had no experience and only participated with enthusiasm, but they also greatly alleviated William's current manpower shortage dilemma.
But the arrival of the Shadow Valley people is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The reason is that there is a long-lasting and irresolvable hatred between the people of Shadow Valley and the people of Fuenla. If the people of Shadow Valley are allowed to manage the city of Fuenla, they will definitely retaliate crazily against the locals, causing serious panic and confrontation. .
If the people of Shadow Valley can arrive one day early and catch up with the battle against Fornla, William will not be able to restrain the Avengers from Shadow Valley. After all, the winner's revenge is a matter of course, even if it is the most difficult thing. No lawful good god could say anything.
It's a pity that the people of Shadow Valley failed to catch up with the battle. They were just a group of latecomers who enjoyed the success. Even though they had all kinds of hatred in their hearts, they were not qualified to directly avenge the people of Fornla, unless William was willing to give up his principles and support these people. An unjust massacre was carried out in the city of Fornla.
Of course, William would not be so stupid as to give up the foundation of his own life and even the foundation of the valley's country for the sake of personal hatred of the people of Shadow Valley.
In other words, the person of the year -his wife -why Cao could not directly complete the unification of the world without occupying the general trend, and even the foundation of the three generations made a wedding dress for the Sima family.
The fundamental reason is that the unjust killings of this guy in his early years were too common, but he lost the hope of the people in the world, so that countless heroes and heroes found it difficult to be sincerely close to him and his country.
Therefore, even if there are heroes like Cao Wei and Wei Wu, it is difficult for them to achieve all their merits.
As the saying goes, massacre of a city is a temporary relief, but the consequences will be long-lasting.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Therefore, William did not directly put the army from Shadow Valley into the city to maintain law and order. Instead, he ordered them to camp outside the city of Fornla. He also publicized the origin of this army and threatened that there were troublemakers in the city. This shadow The army of the valley will definitely enter the city to put down the rebellion.
Of course, the people of Fuenla know that the hatred between themselves and the people of Shadow Valley is as deep as the abyss. If these enemies are allowed to enter the city, the result will definitely not be what any person of Fuenla wants to see.
Therefore, under the threat of the resentful army, which was almost like a knife hanging from the neck, the people of Fuenla showed extraordinary obedience. They selected highly respected representatives to express their surrender to William, and they dedicated their lives to William. A large amount of food and property were paid as tribute to William, and they actively sent people out to join William's team, almost bringing their own dry food, to help the conquerors manage the city.
These tricks of the Fornla people seemed impossible during the rule of Zhentil Castle. At that time, they only provided money but no people. In many cases, they acted even more superior than the people of Zhentil Castle. .
For example, the puppet lord who is responsible for contacting the people of Zhentil Castle, the guy the locals call "Bron", is voted to be replaced by the people of Faunla almost every year.
"But now these same people are kneeling and licking William more than a Japanese devil. How embarrassing would it be for the people of Zhentilburg to see this?"
In fact, the spies of Zhentil Castle who are still in the city of Faunla have seen this kind of thing that makes them extremely angry and even shocked.? situation.
Many spies from Zhentil Castle who were quite secretive before William's arrival were actively reported by the ruthless Fornla people and were even personally transferred to the security team, and then became evidence of the loyalty of the locals.
As time went by, some overly active Faunla people even pointed the finger at their own neighbors. They regarded those who had done more for the people of Zhentil Keep as Zhentils. The fort's lackeys, and encouraged William and his men to liquidate these people's past "sins."
William quickly noticed the problem, and he immediately stopped the Fuenla people's excessive behavior. William even suspected that there might be some malicious people behind this, but he did not express his suspicions, but conveyed this suspicion to the leader from Shadow Valley - Ms. Storm Silverhand. .
???????????????? The lateness of the Shadow Valley army is the work of this storm lady.
This sister of Hillen has farsightedness that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. She is well aware of the contradiction between the people of Shadow Valley and the people of Fornla. She knows that if the army of Shadow Valley directly participates in the siege, not to mention her own casualties, these revenges will be inevitable. The leader will definitely massacre the Fuenla people.
Ms. Storm did not want to see such tragic killings, so she deliberately slowed down the pace of reinforcements.
As for the possibility of William being able to attack Fornla City, Lady Storm has never doubted it. She had already learned about William's background from her sister and life mentor (Elminster), so she was not worried that a mere small city-state with a population of one or two thousand people would block William's path of conquest.
And the facts also proved that Storm Silverhand¡¯s vision and her prediction were not wrong.
It¡¯s just that William was a little angry at Storm Silverhand¡¯s self-assertion. If these guys could have arrived early, the red dragon Yin Lim wouldn't have had to go into danger alone to lure the enemy, or even be killed on the battlefield.
William believes that the Silverhand lady is too self-centered and is not suitable for a position that requires orders and prohibitions, such as a sub-commander of the army. On the contrary, the role of a regional governor is more suitable for her.
So after sorting out the order in the city of Fornla, William decided to conduct a small-scale army reorganization near Fornla.
He issued a sergeant recruitment order to Dagger Valley, Shadow Valley, Misty Valley, and Mountain City, and issued a private recruitment order to the elves in the Cormanthor Jungle, claiming that he would build the main army of the Valley Kingdom in Fornla.
Soon after, one after another small armies, battle groups or individual teams came to Fuenla. They included human warriors who wanted to make achievements, as well as dwarves, elves and half-elf adventurers who wanted to gain wealth and fame. With one exception, they all hope to gain a place in William's Valley Legion.
"But William wanted to reorganize the army, but he had to face two major problems first. One was the matching of different races, and the other was the gender issue of soldiers.
A major feature of Faer?n is that the difference in identity and status between men and women is not based on gender, but on ability.
Of course, fundamentally speaking, this kind of equality between men and women, which is even higher than that in William's previous life, comes from the balance of physical differences between men and women by extraordinary professions, especially among spellcasters. Sometimes, Women have even more advantages than men.
This has also created an illusion for most women in Faer?n. They believe that they are not inferior to their opposite-sex compatriots in all aspects.
But the reality is that in those professions that require strength and physique, except for a few female members who are truly gifted, most of them basically struggle to adapt.
Among them, the two major melee professions, warriors and barbarians, are the most serious, followed by rangers (rangers) and rogues. However, these four professions have the largest population base.
As of the first lunar month after the fall of Fuenla, Fuenla's recruitment camp had gathered nearly 3,000 reserve sergeants, at least one-third of whom were women, including humans, elves, Women from most mainstream races such as dwarves, halflings, and gnomes, as well as a few women from demihuman races.
What makes William most speechless is that a large part of these female applicants are ordinary girls who have not yet entered extraordinary professions. With a restless heart that is unwilling to be ordinary, they hope to be able to serve in William's army. Opportunities to gain success and fame. - Didn't finish reading?
