Although they encountered some harassment from lizardmen and toad monsters when passing through the Swamp of the Dead, these monsters did not pose any threat and were easily killed by several warriors.
Especially the elf magic archer Lantis who just joined the team, he is simply a human arrow tower.
Most monsters couldn't even get into the fifty-meter warning range and would be shot one by one.
Among them, the legendary enchanted compound bow will add a kind of wind magic to the arrows, so that they can generate strong spiral airflows that wrap around the arrowhead and arrow shaft during flight.
Not only will the range become extremely far, but the moment it contacts the target, it will also quickly tear apart the muscles and internal organs near the site of the arrow being struck.
Anyone hit by his arrows would basically become a horrible bloody hole of bloody flesh.
Even if the person is not hit in the vital parts and dies on the spot, he will bleed to death in a very short time.
In addition, this guy also masters quite a lot of low-level spells, among which [Defeat the Enemy First] can allow him to accurately hit the target two hundred meters away.
In addition, the firing rate of a bow and arrow is much faster than that of a crossbow. Combined with the magic archer's special abilities such as fireball and rain of arrows, one person can easily kill dozens of incoming enemies or monsters.
Tracking arrows can make those who try to escape and hide feel that they have nowhere to hide.
Even if they held up their shields and hid behind cover, they would be shot from the side by tracking arrows.
There is no doubt that a profession like the magic archer, which infuses all kinds of magic into arrows and has a very long attack range, is an absolute nightmare for those warriors who can only kill people by rushing up close.
At least the orc Rhett once said that he would rather face an angry evil dragon than charge under the arrows shot by Lantis.
That's no different from seeking death.
In addition, the weapon he used was a two-handed ax, so he would probably be shot on the way if he rushed out only seventy or eighty meters at most, and he wouldn't even have a chance to get close.
In contrast, Old Korgan was more stubborn, saying that he was shorter and had a lower body, so he was not easily hit by arrows, so he would definitely be able to get to the front.
Of course, Alena immediately expressed her disdain for his self-boasting.
Because even a fool knows that although a dwarf is a little short, he has grown horizontally and looks like a mound of meat from a distance.
Without any armor protection, put an adult human and a dwarf together and then rain arrows on them both.
The latter must have been hit by many more arrows than the former.
Because the cross-sectional area is so large...
In response to this kind of argument and bickering, Lantis just smiled modestly and did not get involved.
The spotted cat man Abara obviously prefers to focus on the scenery around him.
Since he had always lived in the deep tropical rainforest of the Maztec continent and had never seen the animals and plants of the boreal forest, he was curious about everything. He even climbed up to the treetops and caught a fat squirrel to keep as a pet.
However, it is not difficult to see from the squirrel's struggles and angry screams that it actually does not like its new owner at all and is always trying to escape in every possible way.
Chatting and laughing all the way in 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 swept streets and the citizens walking on them with confidence and vigor, Zuo Si could not help but nod slightly and commented: "As a warrior and a believer in the God of Justice, Lord Nasir Aragunda manages this city well. At least he is much better than those masked lords and guild leaders in Waterdeep, and better than the nobles and merchant oligarchs in Amn."
"Oh? Really? Why do I feel that this place is far less prosperous than Waterdeep and Amn?" Korgan showed a puzzled expression.
Zuo Si patiently explained: "That's related to the population size.
Neverwinter had less than 20,000 citizens. If we included the surrounding areas and the areas under its indirect control, the total population would not exceed 150,000 to 200,000.
The population controlled by Waterdeep reached more than 1.3 million, and Amn had a population of nearly 3 million.
Therefore, these two places would only be problematic if Neverwinter was not as prosperous.
In addition, Neverwinter is geographically closer to the Arctic glaciers, so its climate and agricultural output are not as advantageous as the first two.
And with Luskan being such a bad neighbor, it's already pretty good that the country has developed into what it is now.
In my opinion, the excellence of a city and its ruler does not lie in the prosperity of the city, but in the material life and spiritual outlook of its citizens.
Notice the genuine pride and joy on the faces of the citizens and you can tell how satisfied they are with where they live.
Especially the green belts and parks in the city, which are almost invisible in other cities in the continent of Faerun.
Of course, this is mainly due to the hot spring water of the Neverwinter River, which contains supernatural powers.
Thanks to these hot springs, the green belts and forests of Neverwinter are not only full of flowers blooming all year round, but also allow people to eat fruits and vegetables that are only available in summer even in the coldest winter.
The word "Neverwinter" in Neverwinter may have originated from this."
"Well, it seems that this Nasir is indeed quite capable. But I hate the followers of Tyr, the God of Justice. Those guys always act like they represent justice, which is disgusting." Korgan pouted and complained.
Like most greedy and profit-seeking adventurers, his principle in dealing with people is to get things done for money. 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 as everyone began to discuss which pub or inn they should go to first to have something to eat and a drink, and to ask the locals about what had happened recently, a group of soldiers suddenly came over from a distance and surrounded the entire team.
A half-elf woman with long brown hair and wearing black plate armor walked forward, bowed gracefully, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, you are Lord Soth, right?"
"Yes, that's me." Zuo Si nodded slightly.
He was not at all surprised that the people of Neverwinter discovered him so quickly.
After all, as the only chosen person of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, he would inevitably be the focus of attention of local rulers wherever he went.
This was the case in Askatra, in Baldur's Gate, in Waterdeep, and naturally Neverwinter was no exception.
In addition, when Nasir Aragonda was young, he had a long adventurous career and collected a lot of magical equipment and treasures.
After becoming a lord, he used these things to recruit some talented people and formed an organization called "Nine Guards of Neverwinter", which was responsible for his own safety and handled a series of tasks including intelligence gathering.
Therefore, Neverwinter has its own independent intelligence agency.
Most of their time was spent hunting down Luskan's spies and figuring out what this evil neighbor was up to.
"Welcome to Neverwinter. Lord Nasir already knows your purpose and has been waiting for many days. Please follow me."
As she spoke, the half-elf woman made a gesture of invitation.
"Who are you......"
Zuo Si felt that the other person's dress and appearance looked familiar, but he was not quite sure.
"My name is Eribeth, Eribeth de Timarande. I am a paladin serving the God of Justice and also an assistant to Lord Nasir."
The half-elf woman gave her name and identity with a smile.
moment!
A hint of barely perceptible surprise flashed across Zuo Si's eyes, but he quickly pretended nothing had happened and followed the other party towards the direction of Neverwinter Castle.
After about ten minutes, when the group walked through the heavily guarded castle gate and into the interior, they soon saw Lord Nasir, who was famous among the adventurers in the North.
Different from the tall and mighty image in the rumors, he looked neither strong nor dignified. Sitting on the chair, he looked like a middle-aged man whose health was beginning to decline, with many white strands faintly visible in his hair.
If it were a one-on-one fight, whether it was Korgan, Rhett, or Abara, they could easily defeat him.
After all, the lord's warrior level is not high, only LV12.
Although he could be considered an elite in an adventure filled with all kinds of people, he was just a slightly more advanced cannon fodder in the eyes of truly powerful top fighters.
What's more, what he is truly famous for is never his ability in frontal combat, but his decisiveness in making correct judgments about the current situation quickly in complex situations.
There are also rumors that Lord Nasir is actually just a puppet, and the one who truly controls Neverwinter is actually a wizard organization called the Cloak of Stars.
It was their support that allowed the former to become the nominal supreme leader of this city.
However, all this gradually lost its appeal due to Lord Nasir's outstanding political skills and ruling level.
Just as Zuo Si was looking at the "Lord of Neverwinter" who was quite famous and influential in the North with great interest, Erebus took the initiative to step forward, bowed, and reported softly, "My lord, I brought them here."
"Well done. Now please take the others to the hall next door for dinner. I have something I want to talk to this young voter alone." Lord Nasir gave the order directly.
It was obvious that he had no interest in the other members of the team, let alone wasting his precious time on small talk.
"As you wish."
Eribes once again placed one hand on his chest and bowed, then turned around and said to Korgan and the others, "Dear distinguished guests, please follow me. The kitchen has prepared a sumptuous banquet and Neverwinter's most famous wine, which will help you wash away your fatigue from the journey."
But unfortunately, no one in the entire team responded to her invitation, and everyone turned their eyes to Zuo Si.
Obviously, no one would leave with this half-elf paladin without Zuo Si's consent.
Lord Nasir immediately showed an expression of surprise and disbelief at this situation.
Because he had been an adventurer before, he understood that this meant reaction that Zuo Si had 100% absolute control over every member of the team.
He had never seen such a team leader in his more than ten years of adventurous career.
Fortunately, Zuo Si did not let Eribes feel embarrassed for too long. He 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 a variety of delicious food and alcoholic beverages.
After all the irrelevant people had left, Lord Nasir slowly stood up from his chair and asked directly, "Are you really planning to capture Luskan and completely destroy the evil spellcasting organization, the Arcane Brotherhood?"
Zuo Si replied calmly, "Yes. But before I take action, I need to confirm the attitudes of all the important cities in the North. As the city closest to Luskan, Neverwinter should be the one that most wants to see the current ruler of Luskan liquidated. So Lord Khelben thinks you will support me and help me convince other towns in the surrounding areas."
"I see.
If you don't mind, could I ask, if you and the forces you control occupied Luskan, how would you transform it?
You have to know that many of the 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 in narcotics and provide supplies.
If these guys are not cleaned up, Luskan will never see any fundamental change."
Lord Nasir raised many of the issues that concerned him most in one breath.
What he feared most now was that after the destruction of the Arcane Brotherhood, Luskan would not become a friendly neighbor, but would become a huge threat to Neverwinter and even the entire North under the rule of a more powerful force.
One must know that Neverwinter had suffered countless attacks and plots from Luskan since its establishment.
At the most dangerous times, even the entire city might be destroyed.
"It's simple. I will kill all the pirate leaders in Luskan and turn the ordinary pirates who make a living by looting into laborers.
They are forced to build roads, farms, or engage 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 penniless paupers.
By then, Luskan's population may drop by about one-third from the current 15,000.
But it can pull it back on track from a deformed and chaotic economic and social structure.
As the vested interest groups and upper rulers of the past have been thoroughly cleansed out, there will be no pirates or organizations like the Thieves Guild in Luskan in the future.
A new order of government will replace the Arcane Brotherhood as the stewards of this city."
Zuo Si explained very patiently.
He could understand how anxious Nasir, as the lord of Neverwinter, was.
The reason is simple. Neverwinter's military strength is too weak.
All the guards in the entire city added up to only a few hundred people.
If a war really breaks out, at most another thousand or so militiamen will be recruited.
But what about Luskan? There are thousands of battle-hardened pirates alone.
In addition, the huge amount of gold coins earned from the slave trade, the sale of narcotics and specialties from the Far North were invested in the construction of the army, maintaining a professional army of three to four thousand people all year round.
Together with the mages of the Arcane Brotherhood, they could defeat Neverwinter in a head-on confrontation.
In fact, what really prevented Luskan from annexing or destroying Neverwinter was not Neverwinter itself, but Waterdeep and Silvermoon, which supported Neverwinter from behind.
"The Great Purge?!"
Lord Nasir's eyes widened in shock.
"Yes, the Great Purge."
Zuo Si nodded seriously.
"Because Luskan can't change without cleaning out the pirates, the Thieves Guild, and the Arcane Brotherhood.
This is the simplest economic problem.
The first thing to do is to solve the employment problem of 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 we cannot solve the problem of food and clothing, then everything else is meaningless castles in the air that will collapse at the slightest touch.
By confiscating the wealth of those merchants and pirates, not only can we serve the purpose of warning everyone, but we can also use the money as start-up capital to hire civilians to build roads, farms, and ranches, so that they have a stable job and income, and realize the redistribution of social wealth.
As for those vicious pirate leaders and high-ranking members of the Arcane Brotherhood, their hands are already stained with the blood of the victims.
Therefore, they deserve to die and do not deserve any 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, perhaps taking several years, or even more than ten years.
But I can assure you that if this city is under my control, it will not pose any threat to Neverwinter.
On the contrary, we can work together and share what we have.”
Lord Nasir immediately showed approval when he heard this: "You are right. The fundamental reason why Luskan has become a gathering place for pirates and illegal merchants is that the barren land of Luskan cannot support so many people.
Moreover, the city stood on the edge of civilization and often went to war with barbarian clans and orc tribes. Gradually, it was inevitably influenced by the other side and became keen on plundering and expansion.
Therefore, if one wants to change Luskan, one must first change their long-standing living habits and ways of thinking.
I heard from Lord Khelben that you have successfully reformed the pirates in the Nelanther Islands and established order in the Sword Sea and the Central Sword Coast.
If you don't mind, could you take me to see it with my own eyes?"
"Now?"
Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise, having never expected the other party to suddenly make such a request.
Because he had only been to the Nalanther Islands once, and that was to extract energy from the local wizard tower, so he had no idea what Vanessa had developed that place into.
Lord Nasir smiled and nodded: "Yes, right now. What you hear is not as good as what you see. I only believe what I see with my own eyes. If you can really reform the pirates of the Nelanther Islands, then I am willing to support your war against Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood. I will also help persuade the towns around Luskan."
"Okay, I also 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 any misunderstandings." Zuo Si kindly reminded.
"That won't be necessary. Besides, I'll leave a note."
As he spoke, Lord Nasir picked up the feather pen on the table, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote a line of words on a piece of parchment. Then he took off the crown on his head, stood up and walked to Zuo Si's side.
Soon, accompanied by 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, the population here has reached about 45,000, especially with refugees fleeing the war from the Kingdom of Tethyr, craftsmen and farmers attracted from Baldur's Gate and West Heartland, and escaped slaves from Calimshan.
If we include the farmers living in villages and other islands, the total population is close to 250,000, which is definitely a medium-sized force.
Especially the large number of warehouses at the docks, which are densely packed with various goods.
The market was filled with noisy hawking sounds, as many people gathered together to scramble for the local specialties of salt and sugar, which were then transported to other cities by sea for sale.
In the area not far away where there are many workshops, you can vaguely see billowing black smoke.
Countless workers are busy with their heads down.
Or make the harvested sugarcane into sugar, 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 into strong rum.
With these two industries alone, the Nelanther Islands can earn a lot of gold coins every month.
In addition, fishing and pearl farming are also quite developed.
Since they control a large number of undead creatures that do not need to breathe, it is very convenient to pick or put the rounded spherical pearl nuclei into them, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by dangerous marine creatures.
Moreover, in Faerun, pearls as a kind of gem are not only decorative, but can also be used to make magical items.
So no matter how large the output is, it will never keep up with the rate of consumption.
Even the most common pearls are worth at least fifty to one hundred gold coins.
However, at the moment, these pearls that have only been cultivated for one year are not worth picking. It will take at least two or three years for them to be harvested.
Admiring the prosperous scene in the city, Lord Nasir couldn't help but sigh slightly: "It's really good. It seems that the description in the letter by Lord Kelben is not exaggerated at all. If the houses and buildings were not very new, I wouldn't even believe that this place was built 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 be impossible to absorb so many immigrants in a short period of time." Zuo Si shrugged and explained.
As the saying goes, it all depends on the support of peers.
He never thought that the system and laws he implemented in the Nelanther Islands were good, but the surrounding countries were worse than each other.
Needless to say, the Kingdom of Tethyr was in the midst of a civil war. The lords were fighting each other for the crown, and they were almost brainwashed. They had no time to care about the lives of civilians.
Therefore, all the lower-class people who desire to live a peaceful life will naturally rush here with their families.
The resourceful Lord of Myratma, Count Wix Target, even started a business of helping to transport refugees.
By providing food and simple shelter to these refugees and selling boat tickets to the Nelanther Islands, he made a fortune.
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 liches in the organization that his army was constantly expanding eastwards along the Is River and had defeated several enemies who had taken advantage of the situation before. He had become the most powerful noble in the western part of the Kingdom of Tethyr except for the capital Zazespur.
As for Kalinshan, it had been almost broken due to being controlled by the entanglement symbol for many years.
Various conspiracies, conflicts and assassinations are spread across the streets and alleys of every city.
The numerous thieves' guilds are like weeds, and as soon as one disappears, another one will rise up.
Given the opportunity, slaves would try to escape.
Some merchant ships willing to take the risk would secretly pick up escaped slaves and transport them to the Nelanther Islands in exchange for a bounty.
"Doesn't this just prove that your rule is much better than those of these two countries? Seeing that even the chaotic Nelanther Islands have become a place of order, I believe that Luskan can also become a normal city-state under your rule. After all, the living conditions in the North are already quite harsh, and all towns should unite together to face the threat from the wild world."
While saying this, Lord Nasir clearly revealed a hint of fatigue.
Obviously, ruling Neverwinter is not as easy as outsiders imagine.
Apart from anything else, the Neverwinter Forest to the east of the city alone is home to large numbers of warlike barbarians, giants, dragons, and other dangerous creatures.
If these guys were controlled by some evil force, they could raze the Pearl of the North to the ground in an instant.
Not to mention that underground in Neverwinter, there is a ruin of the Creator race and a volcano that could erupt at any time.
Yes, the city really is situated on the crater of a volcano.
The hot springs that brought prosperity to Neverwinter might suddenly erupt with boiling magma that would destroy everything.
Of course, Lord Nasir certainly doesn't know about this.
Because just one Neverwinter Forest and one 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?"
"It's a pleasure to work with you." Lord Nasir also stretched out his right hand and shook it vigorously, and then added: "I heard that you are using a large number of undead creatures to engage in agricultural production and heavy physical labor? This is not good, and I think it should be stopped immediately."
"I'm sorry, it's unlikely to be possible in a short period of time. Because there is a serious shortage of labor on the Nalanther Islands, especially quarrying and working in mines are often very dangerous. I think it's 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 Nelanther Islands and the higher average living standards than all the cities in Faerun are all supported by these free laborers who do not need to eat, rest, or be paid.
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, they must be exploiting people from other places through a series of means.
It could be severely unequal trade, or it could be outright war and plunder.
In short, resources and wealth do not come out of thin air.
Tens of thousands of undead creatures are the foundation of the prosperity of the Nalanther 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 being used for 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 cross the border and enter Neverwinter's sphere of influence."
"no problem."
Zuo Si nodded happily and agreed.
In this way, the two went through a series of bargaining and finally finalized a cooperation agreement.
When the fleet of the Nelanther Islands is ready to launch a war, Neverwinter will come forward to assemble 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, we are no longer politically isolated, but have many allies.
Don't underestimate this.
Because this can directly make the masked lords of Waterdeep completely give up the idea of intervening.
The next thing Zuo Si had to do was to go to Silvermoon City, the last stop of this journey to the north, to visit Alustriel, the most famous "socialite" among the seven sisters.
But before that, he accepted Lord Nasir's kind invitation to tour Neverwinter and tasted some of the local specialty fruits.
It was three days later when we set out again.
Since Silvermoon City is located far inland, it would take at least ten days or half a month to get there by land.
So Zuo Si decisively chose to teleport the group to the place where he had killed the orcs in the last test of the Holy Orb of Physics.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he immediately heard a roar in orc language coming from not far away.
"That's the guy! Quick! Go up and kill him!"
"Great Gruumsh, please grant me strength!"
“Go!”
In the blink of an eye, a group of fully armed orcs swarmed out of the woods.
Unlike the ordinary orcs with simple equipment they encountered before, these guys were all wearing quite good armor without exception, and the weapons in their hands mostly flashed with arcane aura, which must have a certain level of enchantment.
Most importantly, all of these orcs were blind in one eye.
When they got closer, they instantly activated their violent abilities, and the muscles all over their bodies swelled up out of thin air.
Some orcs who looked like priests raised their hands high and chanted words of praise to the gods loudly, casting divine spells on themselves or their companions.
It goes without saying that these orcs who launched the sudden attack were all warriors selected from the orc tribe 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 out the eye themselves in a religious ceremony in order to obtain a special profession blessed by the orc god Gruumsh - the Eye of Gruumsh.
Without any hesitation!
There was no need for any hesitation! Everyone in the team immediately entered combat mode.
As a magic archer, Lantis immediately activated the [Arrow Rain] skill, shooting deadly arrows quickly and continuously at lightning speed.
In just a few seconds, an arrow pierced the bodies of a dozen orcs rushing in the front.
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 at all.
Because they activated their rage ability during the charge and temporarily ignored the pain by secreting a large amount of adrenaline.
Moreover, the defense of these warriors who have advanced to the Eye of Gruumsh is obviously much stronger than that of ordinary orcs.
With the help of divine powers, each one is more ferocious and fearless than the other, and they are not afraid of death at all.
Even if Alena set up a wall of fire on the road ahead, the opponent would rush forward without hesitation and let the flames burn his skin.
"Damn it! These guys are just a bunch of lunatics." The Pyromancer couldn't help but curse under his breath.
"Hahahaha! Don't worry! Old Korgan will kill them all without leaving a single one alive."
The dwarf berserker let out a bloodthirsty laugh, activated his rage ability and rushed forward, swinging his ax to fight with the orc warrior in the front.
The half-orc Rhett waved a two-handed ax to block the orc warriors rushing over from the other side.
Through the fierce close combat, it is easy to see that the general level of these orc warriors is around LV14.
Even though their weapons and equipment were completely crushed, they were still able to withstand the fierce attacks from Korgan and others, and even gain the upper hand with their numerical advantage.
The werewolf girl Fangs, who was participating in a battle of this level for the first time, seemed extremely nervous. She wanted to transform and rush forward to help several times, but was stopped by Zuo Si every time.
Even her animal companion, a sturdy winter wolf, stayed obediently by his master's side and did not dare to act rashly.
Perhaps the winter wolves are indeed the most ferocious and cunning hunters in the Far North, but these orc warriors, whose average level is LV14, can kill them on the spot with just one ax.
There is no doubt that this was a carefully planned ambush and attack.
The orcs even obtained the relevant intelligence in advance in some way, and then gathered here and set an ambush.
Since they set an ambush to kill me, the twenty or so soldiers and four or five priests in front of me are obviously not enough.
At least with their professional level and weapons and equipment, it is absolutely impossible to kill a chosen person who is noticed by the gods and given powerful power.
The only ones who can kill the voters are the voters themselves, or a powerful enough legendary professional.
So after Zuo Si bestowed some strengthening arcane and divine arts on his teammates, he stopped taking action and instead squinted his eyes and looked around, trying to find the real enemy hiding nearby.
After all, with Alena's fire magic and a powerful magic archer providing long-range fire support, Korgan, Rhett and Abara are enough to deal with the enemies in front of them, 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 emitting dazzling arcane light. He rushed out from his hiding place at an incredible speed and stabbed straight in the direction where Zuo Si was.
He covered a distance of hundreds of meters in less than three seconds! If it were an ordinary person, he would not even have time to react and would be pierced instantly.
But the Japanese 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 dodging, parrying or blocking.
Behind him, another orc priest completed the spell in his hand.
A blinding red light descended from the sky, covering the charging orc warrior.
In less than 0.1 second, the latter's body was covered with a layer of divine power, and the originally green skin surface instantly seemed to be bathed in blood plasma.
When the tracking arrow shot up, it was spread out by the invisible force field and was not able to cause even the slightest damage.
There is no doubt that this is a nine-ring magic spell [Miracle Spell], which can also be understood as the magic version of [Wish Spell].
Its working principle is very simple, that is, the priest asks the god he serves to descend his power to interfere to a certain extent.
Although it may not be as widely applicable as making a wish, and it also depends on the level and mood of the god, but once successful, it is definitely enough to turn the situation around in an instant.
Looking at the orc warrior rushing towards him with a spear in hand, 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 force field appeared out of nowhere and hit the opponent head-on.
boom!!!!!!
Due to the incredible force, the latter immediately flew backwards hundreds of meters like a cannonball, breaking several pillars in succession before it barely stopped.
You don't need to ask to know that this spell card stores the eighth-ring magic [Bigbai Diamond Fist].
Unlike the Big Hand Magic in the Big Bai series which mostly involves grappling in the form of a palm, this spell transforms into a fist to deal a head-on blow to the enemy.
Its power is so strong that it can even stop a train running at full speed.
Therefore, the faster the opponent's speed and the higher the mass, the greater the reaction force it will have to bear.
According to the orc warrior's sprinting speed just now, he should have turned into blood mist and meat paste in an instant.
Unfortunately, the layer of red mucus like plasma covering this guy's body obviously greatly improved his physical fitness and ability to withstand attacks.
Not to mention being turned into meat paste and blood mist, there wasn't even a single wound.
After a while, he struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes flashing with anger and hatred.
As for the pastor, he patted him on the shoulder, and then they walked slowly forward shoulder to shoulder.
Judging from their performance, they are most likely legends with a career level above LV21, and they might even 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 before, but now I am still alive and well, while they are no longer here. I don't think there will be any surprises this time."
Zuo Si pretended to be nonchalant in his response.
But in fact, the hand hidden in the sleeve was already filled with at least a dozen magic and creature cards.
Because he was unsure of what kind of power and voter capabilities the other party had, he did not dare to take it lightly.
The spear in the orc warrior's hand was clearly stained with an unknown vicious curse.
Zuo Si bet that if that thing pierced the skin a little, it would immediately cause very serious consequences.
