Saradush is a fortress city located in the northern region of Calimshan near the March Mountains.
It was originally built to resist the invasion of monsters in the Northern March Mountains and the Mir Forest, especially orcs, orcs and fire giants.
In particular, the fire giants who established their ruling centers in the magma caves inside several active volcanoes often went south to plunder and even conquer and annex some towns and villages, posing a huge threat to the main grain producing areas of the entire southern Kalinshan Plain.
As early as the reign of Shane IV, the central government of the empire sent people to scout the terrain all the way north along the Ice River, and eventually built a castle that could accommodate an army of thousands of people on the north bank of the fork where the two upstream rivers meet.
This castle is the predecessor of Saradush and is also the most core area today.
Later, after a little expansion, it eventually became a fairly prosperous and wealthy inland city.
Merchants can connect directly to the Sea of Glory through wide rivers.
To the west are Manshaka and Port Kalin, and to the east is the prosperous economic circle of Ariven and the Steam Lake.
Saradush has always been a paradise for opportunists due to its rich mineral reserves and the abundance of various precious woods and alien slaves.
Most ships do not even need to be modified to be able to sail unhindered between rivers and the sea.
Even after the Shane Empire collapsed and the entire Kalinshan entered a period of being secretly controlled by the Entanglement Talisman, it still maintained a fairly rapid development.
During its heyday, the permanent population exceeded 60,000, and it even established trade relations with fire giants who were good at forging tough alloys. It made a fortune just by exporting all kinds of sophisticated weapons and armor.
But unfortunately, this wonderful situation did not last long. It soon declined due to the siege by the monster army from the northern mountains and eastern forests.
In modern times, the Karish people living here have even completely become tools for barbarian chiefs and monster leaders to demonstrate their power.
The original ruling class and aristocracy had long been wiped out in the repeated capture of cities, and the common people had to serve the occupiers, pay taxes, and perform corvee labor.
Both orcs and fire giants once sat in huge castles and palaces, ruling over vast tracts of land around them as kings or warlords.
During this period, Saradushu was basically a big stage where one person would perform and another would take his place.
Since the civilians did not care who was the ruler here, and would not spontaneously join the army to help resist enemy attacks like in other places, the city changed hands frequently in just two or three hundred years, and no one could successfully rule for more than twenty years.
The shortest period may be only a few months, before he will be killed and replaced by his ambitious subordinates.
Long-term enslavement has made human civilians lose the consciousness of resistance, and some don't even care about swearing allegiance to the monsters and becoming guides and traitors.
The living standards of most of the lower-class people are extremely poor and can only be barely described as "alive".
But if you think this is the bottom line of Saradush, you are naive.
As the Sons of Bhaal began to awaken one after another, under the deliberate guidance of "interested people", the Sons of Bhaal from all over Faerun began to gather in this city.
Then terrible killing and war began.
In just less than half a year, more than a dozen Sons of Baal led their men to defeat their brothers and sisters and captured the city.
The current ruler is Gromnir Eir, a half-orc tribal warlord who calls himself "Khan".
Although he was not the strongest among the many sons of Baal, he was very smart and recruited a large number of subordinates. He even recruited large numbers of young and middle-aged humans into the army and trained them as militia. Therefore, he successfully gained a foothold in Saradush.
Coupled with some Sons of Bhaal who have voluntarily surrendered in order to save their lives and have very high levels of priests and mages, they are now a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
Although a fierce conflict broke out with another fire giant, Jagasura, the son of Baal, it has not yet evolved into a large-scale war and killing.
In other words, several of the most powerful Sons of Baal have formed a situation of mutual deterrence at this moment.
No one wants to break the balance easily and become the target of siege.
Currently, Gromnir Eir is sitting in his own castle palace, talking with Melisand, the mastermind behind everything, about how to bring more Sons of Bhaal here to "protect" them.
The reason why the word "protect" is put in quotation marks is because these two guys have their own ulterior motives and neither of them really intends to protect the Son of Bhaal.
Gromnir wanted to use these Sons of Bhaal to strengthen his own power so as to fight against several other powerful brothers and sisters; Melisand, the chosen one who betrayed the god of murder, Bhaal, hoped to gather more Sons of Bhaal together for a clean massacre, collect more divinity and power, and pave the way for herself to usurp the throne and become the new goddess.
Although both parties knew that the other party was hiding some ulterior motives, no one pointed it out and continued to maintain superficial cooperation.
That is, Melisand brought the Sons of Bhaal from all over the world, and Gromnir used Saradrush as a fortress to shelter these Sons of Bhaal.
"Melishan, you should know that there are already too many Sons of Bhaal in this city. I need more food and supplies to sustain them."
The half-orc was the first to speak and make a request.
“No, what you should be thinking about now is not food and supplies, but you should pay more attention to the newly merged West Coast Empire and the reaction of His Majesty the Emperor.
Don't forget that Saradu Xu was originally part of the Shane Empire and is also the traditional sphere of influence of Kalinshan.
When rebuilding the empire, Shane VII even did not spare places like the Steam Lake, which had been out of Kalinshan's control for thousands of years.
How could his successor abandon Saradush, the most important town in the north?
The main reason why the other party did not take action before was that they did not put in enough effort.
Once the other party frees up their hands, you will face the crushing of the most powerful country in the world.
Therefore, you must quickly defeat the most threatening Yagasura and his army of fire giants to ensure that you will not be intercepted or ambushed when you need to retreat."
Melissan reminded solemnly with a serious expression.
She is not like those sons of Bhaal who are busy fighting and killing each other all day long and know nothing about the surrounding situation and politics.
Just the opposite!
This ambitious woman had been keenly aware of Zuo Si's movements since the Battle of Baldur's Gate broke out, and began to pay close attention to his every move.
When Shane VII abdicated and the emperors of the two empires announced a marriage alliance, Melisand realized that the killing fields she had built around Saradush and the surrounding areas of the Marching Mountains might become a thorn in the enemy's side.
After all, a highly authoritarian centralized state like "I am the state" itself means extreme power and order.
Its supreme ruler, the emperor, would never allow any area that dared to disobey and go out of control within his empire.
Neither the occupied Saradush nor the bloody massacres of the Sons of Baal would be allowed.
Therefore, the entire plan must be accelerated and everything must be completed before the army arrives.
But the problem is that the other sons of Bhaal are not fools either.
Especially the smartest and most powerful descendants of Baal, each of whom is as powerful as Melisand, and they also do not have even a little trust in her.
This meant that she couldn't control the situation by her own strength.
The only hope now is that this not-so-bright half-orc in front of him will take the initiative to stir up trouble under his deception, so that the long-planned killing can take place ahead of schedule.
But unfortunately, Gromnir was able to become a warlord and was obviously not an idiot. He immediately sneered: "Hahahaha! You evil-minded woman actually want to start a war between me and Yagasura?
You must be kidding me! I'm not stupid enough to fight a group of fully armed fire giants.
It's better to let Xiandai, Balthazar, Abazige and others do this kind of thing.
I just need to wait patiently, waiting for them to become weaker and weaker in the mutual hostility, and then seize the opportunity to launch a fatal surprise attack.
Until then, I will stay in Saradush and not go anywhere else."
Melissan had obviously anticipated this, and immediately asked, "What if the West Coast Empire sends a large army to retake this city? Should we surrender to them?
That powerful emperor would never allow an independent warlord like you to exist under his command.
Honey, you actually have no other choice.
If you fail to defeat Yagasura quickly, he will launch a full-scale attack on you once he has completed his war preparations.
Only one of you is destined to survive."
Hearing this, Gromnir's face changed slightly. Just as he opened his to say something, a guard who was also a son of Bhaal suddenly opened the door and rushed in from outside, reporting loudly and breathlessly: "No... It's bad mouth! Khan! Our city gates and walls were suddenly attacked by thousands of troops!
Among them are dwarves, orcs, half-orcs, ogres, giants, trolls, goblins, gnolls, kobolds...
besides……
There are also several terrifying dragons!"
Before he finished speaking!
A huge shadow suddenly passed through the window, followed by indescribable flames and heat waves that swept over the army guarding the castle gate below.
The latter didn't even have the slightest chance to escape or react, and was instantly turned into unrecognizable pieces of black charcoal in the flames.
The speed and timing were simply breathtaking.
In the blink of an eye, the huge shadow flapped its wings and quickly climbed to a higher altitude, finally revealing its huge and iconic shape.
"Balagas "Flying Flame"? Why is he here?!"
Melissane instantly recognized this dragon king active in Amn and Tethyr, and her mouth opened in shock.
But soon, she saw an even more incredible scene: the even larger Purgatory Dragon Red led a group of colorful dragons to appear above the city and swooped down on the soldiers at the city gates and walls.
Regardless of whether the breath type is fire, lightning, ice, or acid and acid mist, it means death for most ordinary soldiers.
Unless they are undead or constructs that are completely immune to fear and dragon might, no army can continue to hold its ground under the siege of so many giant dragons.
After a short while, large blank areas appeared on the entire city wall and even around the city gate.
As for those giant crossbows that were specifically designed to intimidate dragons, they were of no use at all.
Suddenly being attacked by so many giant dragons, the soldiers had no idea how to adjust their direction or which dragon to attack first, so all their arrows were abandoned without even being fired.
After all, it's time to save your own life first.
As soon as the soldiers retreated like a tide, dozens of special siege ladders were set up. The monster army quickly climbed up the city wall along the ladders, turned the large weapons defending the city on the spot, and used bows, crossbows and arrows to attack the retreating soldiers.
Others even led their troops into the streets to kill anyone who dared to resist.
With the help of the dragon, the defenders were unable to organize any effective resistance.
Whenever someone stood up to build a defense line and wanted to engage in street fighting, the giant dragon in the sky would immediately swoop down and spit out deadly flames.
After a few examples of being burned to charcoal alive, many smart soldiers began to either run into the sewers or drop their weapons and kneel down to surrender.
Looking out the window at the complete collapse of his army, Gromnir roared in anger: "What's going on? Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? Why are these dragons attacking me? Why?!"
"Khan! Now is not the time to ask why! At this rate, the enemy will soon break into the castle. Let's quickly enter the sewers and find a way to escape and seek shelter."
A son of Bhaal dressed as a wizard hurriedly offered a suggestion.
It was not difficult to tell from the tension and panic in his eyes that he had no intention of fighting at all.
After all, a large number of Sons of Bhaal defected to Gromnir in order to huddle together for warmth and avoid being slaughtered by other more aggressive Sons of Bhaal, rather than fighting desperately with enemies that they knew they could not defeat.
"No! You can't escape! Once you leave the protection of the walls of Saradush, Yagasura and his army of fire giants will kill you all."
Melissan immediately stepped forward to stop it.
What a joke! She had finally gathered so many Sons of Bhaal together just to make it easier to kill them.
If he escapes, God knows where the other party will hide.
It would be a pain to spend a lot of time and energy looking for them one by one.
But unfortunately, no one here listened to Melisand's words.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Gromnir pushed him away roughly, then led his men straight down the stairs to the secret passage in the underground part.
As a warlord who had experienced countless battles and even wars, he knew from the moment he witnessed those giant dragons falling from the sky that the city could not be defended at all.
Because there are not just one or two dragons, but more than a dozen.
When the threats from the sky reach a certain level, unless there are enough powerful spellcasters or powerful anti-aircraft weapons, all struggles will be in vain and it will be impossible to hold on.
Especially now, the soldiers' morale has obviously collapsed, and just organizing them again is an impossible task.
So Gromnir made a decisive decision to abandon Saradush.
As for the cannon fodder who were being killed and captured, he didn't care about the life or death of these consumables.
Anyway, as long as he is still alive and has trusted subordinates who can help him make a comeback, he can recruit as many ordinary soldiers as he wants.
There may not be much else in the land of Faerun, but there are too many monsters that can serve as soldiers.
Seeing that her plan was about to be ruined, Melisand's originally kind and gentle facial expression suddenly became extremely hideous and terrifying, and the boiling power of Baal in her body enveloped her entire body, and it was obvious that she had already started the murderous intent.
You have to know that she is the first chosen one of the God of Murder and the highest leader of the church. Not only does she have a very high priest level, but she also has a mage level that is not inferior to a priest, which means she is practicing both Sinnoh and God like Zuo Si.
In addition, by absorbing the power and divinity of the Son of Death Baal during this period of time, he has become infinitely close to the level of a quasi-god.
As long as you want, you can give yourself any professional level above LV40 at any time, and be immune to magic like time stop, immune to one to two ring spells, immune to weapon damage below enchantment level +2, and many other terrifying resistances.
Therefore, as long as Melisand is willing, she can transform into the most terrifying killer in the material world in a minute, and can even kill all living things in the entire city by herself.
But in the end, this thoughtful woman chose to endure temporarily.
Because she understood that it was not yet time for her to reveal her true identity and purpose.
Instead, he must continue to pretend to be kind and loving, gather the Sons of Bhaal together, and wait for the final moment to come.
Thinking of this, Melisand took a deep breath and pretended to be in pain as she struggled to get up from the ground. She stumbled to open the tightly closed door and shouted to the bewildered soldiers and the Son of Bhaal, "Don't panic! Come over here! I will protect you from any harm!"
When the Sons of Bhaal, who were in a state of panic and leaderless, heard these words, they immediately began to surge forward like a tide, numbering in the thousands.
You have to know that this is not all, it is only the part about being recruited into the army by Gromnir.
Almost half of them are powerless civilians, who are seeking refuge in various corners of the city.
Wilmes obviously noticed this situation, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his face. He said directly to the Moon Elf Mage riding on his back: "Ashmi, did you see that woman? She still thinks we don't know who she is and wants to continue disguising herself as a white lotus."
"Ah! Of course I saw it.
This sinister and cunning careerist would never have dreamed that Lord Soth had already investigated her thoroughly, even her secret actions and plans.
Now, she stood in front of us as if she were naked, with no secrets at all.
But you still have to be careful.
If nothing unexpected happens, Melissan should be considered a quasi-divine power.
She has secretly collected too much of Baal's power and divinity, and even controls the souls of all the dead sons of Baal."
"Come on, let's go meet her."
After saying this, Wilmes flapped his huge wings that covered the sky and the sun, slowly descended in altitude, and finally landed on the small square in front of the castle with a thud.
The strong sense of oppression and suffocation brought by its huge size and purgatory bloodline immediately frightened all the soldiers and sons of Baal present to kneel on the ground, begging this terrifying prehistoric beast not to kill them.
Melissan pretended to be nervous and stepped forward, putting one hand on her chest and bowing deeply.
“Her Majesty the great Red Dragon Queen Vermes.
My name is Melissane, and I am the leader of this group of poor people.
Because they are all innocent sons of Baal, they gather in this city just to seek refuge and will not pose any threat to your rule.
As long as you are willing to spare everyone's life, we are willing to give up all our property and leave Saradush empty-handed."
"Okay! I agree!"
Wilmes calmly gave an affirmative answer.
moment!
Melissan stood there in a daze, seemingly having not expected such an outcome at all.
Because she thought that the powerful red dragon of Purgatory in front of her would be as unreasonable as its kind, and would simply open its mouth and spray all the sons of Baal at the scene to death.
In this way, Melisand can absorb these divine powers and divinity into her own body as capital to impact the throne of God.
Unfortunately, Wilmes had learned bad things from Zuo Si and did not play according to common sense. As a result, the man and the dragon just stood there with eyes wide open.
A full minute passed before Melisand came to her senses. She quickly pretended to be grateful and bowed again.
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness! On behalf of all the Sons of Bhaal, I thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll have my troops clear a path, and you can leave now."
Wilmes waved his paw in an impatient manner.
Seeing that the red dragon of purgatory was not fooled at all, Melisand could only summon all the sons of Baal in the city to follow her, and walked out of the city gate in a mighty manner. At the same time, she deliberately made a big fuss to inform Yagasura in this way.
I hope that this son of Bhaal can lead his army of fire giants and kill all these burdens.
Otherwise, she would not be able to find another city in a short period of time that could accommodate and imprison so many Sons of Bhaal.
With the source of war, chaos, bloodshed, and death gone, Saradush soon accepted a powerful dragon as its new ruler.
As for those monsters that were difficult to control, they were quickly driven out after the actual occupation, leaving only a thousand mixed troops composed of dwarves, humans, and half-elves to maintain order and restore production.
Of course, these tasks were not what Wilmes was good at, so she threw them all to the Moon Elf Mage Ashmi without hesitation, and ran excitedly to the vault in the castle, wanting to steal the money before Zuo Si arrived.
But in the end, Wilmes only found about 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins in the vault, most of which were silver coins and copper plates. There were not even a few gold coins. The dragon was so angry that he started cursing.
She had no idea that Saradush had experienced so many years of war, and every ruler, without exception, had imposed heavy taxes and quickly spent all their money on food and weapons, otherwise they might be replaced by the enemy.
To describe such insane behavior as militarism is an understatement, how could it be possible to save money?
Even if he had money, Gromnir would find a way to take it all away when he left, as capital for his comeback.
However, in the spirit of "since you are already here, you should not leave empty-handed and even a mosquito leg is meat", Wilmes decided to take everything back to enrich his treasure trove.
She didn't know from the beginning to the end that when she launched the attack, Zuo Si had already appeared near Saraduxu and witnessed the entire crushing war involving land and air forces.
The reason why he didn't enter the city was mainly because he was waiting for Gromnir to escape from the sewer.
Since most cities in Faerun are built along rivers, the drainage outlets of their sewers are basically extended into rivers or the sea.
Therefore, when the defenders were defeated, it was normal for them to retreat using sewers or rivers.
After a while, Gromnir and more than a hundred of his cronies emerged from the stinking sewer, cursing.
The accompanying soldiers were also carrying several huge and heavy wooden boxes, most likely filled with valuables.
When he saw a stranger blocking the door, the usually cautious Gromnir immediately became alert and shouted, "Who is it?"
"Me? My name is Soth. I believe you have heard of it."
As he spoke, Zuo Si took off his hood and revealed his true face.
"Emperor of the West Coast Empire? How come you are here?!"
The expression of another wizard who was also the son of Baal suddenly changed, and the rest of the people became extremely nervous as well.
After all, “trees leave their shadows and people leave their names.”
Zuo Si's military achievements on the continent of Faerun had been spreading wildly since the moment he was crowned emperor of the empire, and there were even several different versions.
His ruthless and merciless treatment of enemies makes many people feel scalp tingling.
In addition, they had long occupied Saradushu by force, which had obviously infringed upon the other party's interests, and therefore they were afraid of being subjected to cruel retaliation.
Especially in times of trouble like this.
"Haha, I never thought that someone would recognize me in such a remote place. I am really relieved. As for why I appeared here, you might as well guess based on what happened just now."
There was a barely perceptible light in Zuo Si's eyes as he gently stroked the soft fur of the black and white puppy in his arms.
Because the dog looked so small and seemed to have been weaned only a short time ago, everyone present automatically ignored it, thinking that it was just a pet or the familiar of an arcane spellcaster and not very threatening.
Gromnir narrowed his eyes and quickly connected everything that happened today from beginning to end. He suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "Were those dragons and monster armies directed by you? You hid in the dark and controlled all this?"
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Congratulations, you guessed it right."
"Why? You could just send troops directly, why did you resort to this method?"
Gromnir asked with a frown on his face.
On the one hand, he was shocked that the other party had hidden so many dragons and monster armies in an unknown place. On the other hand, he could not understand what purpose this kind of operation of taking off pants and farting was trying to achieve.
“The reason is simple, I don’t want the outside world to know that I’m participating in the game of fighting for the Blood Throne too early.
Do you think you are the only ones watching the fight of the Sons of Bhaal? No, there are many gods, demons, devils, and powerful alien creatures in this world who are watching closely.
So I can't use the power that has already been exposed.
But if a group of dragons and monsters took over Saradush and drove out all the sons of Bhaal, and I took the city back from them, there would be no consequences."
Zuo Si gave a straightforward explanation.
"So... you're going to make such a big fuss just to seize Saradush?"
There was a strong suspicion in Gromnir's tone, and it was obvious that he did not believe this.
In his opinion, it was not worth mobilizing so much force just to recapture the city.
“That’s one of them, but it’s not all.
Another goal of mine is to gather a little of the power and divinity of the Son of Bhaal.
So could you please offer up your divine power, divinity, life and even soul?
Because I really need these things right now.
Don’t worry, I promise it will be quick and absolutely painless.”
Zuo Si bent down and bowed slightly, his tone sincere and his attitude humble.
There was a huge contrast between his polite attitude and his outrageous demands.
So much so that many orcs with low intelligence were unable to react for a long time.
"Dream on! No matter who you are, don't even think about threatening my life! Go ahead, kill him.
Don't be afraid, we have more people, we can outlast him even if we have to fight."
Gromnir drew his weapon and roared the order to attack.
However, unlike his bravery and fearlessness, he merely shouted twice and let his men pass him by. He had no real intention of fighting to the death.
Just from this point, it can be seen that this guy is many times smarter than ordinary orcs.
Understand that when facing an unfamiliar enemy, the best way to deal with it is to send cannon fodder to test the opponent's strength first, and then decide whether to fight or escape.
Several mages also began to chant spells, trying to strip Zuo Si of his protective magic so that the warriors would have room to perform.
It has to be said that it is not difficult to see from the skillful cooperation of these people that they are indeed elite troops who have experienced many battles.
As long as this team is still there, Gromnir will be able to make a quick comeback no matter where he goes.
The only pity is that this time they encountered an enemy that they could not defeat at all.
"Alas - this is a pity. I thought you were all reasonable people and would agree to my insignificant little request."
Zuo Si sighed with a helpless look, then threw the puppy in his arms directly into the crowd.
Through the swift movements of the aggressive orcs and human warriors, he instantly determined that the average occupational level of these people was above LV10, with some as high as LV16 to 17, and they also had various strange spell-like abilities.
It goes without saying that more than 80% of the other party are sons of Baal.
Only the Son of Baal could continuously improve his own strength through killing in such a short period of time, and even gain some unusual supernatural abilities.
But just as the Sons of Baal were waving their various weapons, planning to chop the puppy into meat paste, they were suddenly surprised to find that the puppy, which had a cute appearance in the previous second, turned into a hideous and terrifying ancient evil creature that exuded a terrifying aura in the next second.
“Ooo ...
Along with the Chaos Hound's iconic howl, an indescribable fear rose in everyone's heart, and those with weaker willpower would be instantly frozen in place, unable to move.
You have to know that even gods are not immune to the supernatural effects produced by Kozef's howl, let alone the son of God.
The result was that the originally unstoppable charge suddenly turned into chaos.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were bitten to death, and even their souls were dragged out and eaten clean.
The remaining divine power and divinity in their bodies were absorbed by Zuo Si without any hesitation.
As for those mages and warlocks, before they could even finish chanting their spells, they were easily suppressed by the latter using the double concentration casting technique he had just mastered.
Combined with the Rainbow Apprentice's unique wall-protecting ability, the Glorious Destruction that could suddenly transform the target's protective magic into a spell to attack itself, and the special abilities of some other archmages and the Lord of Arcane, Zuo Si killed four archmages who mastered the Nine-Ring Arcane and a legendary warlock in just twelve seconds.
His overwhelming magical power made the remaining few low-level guys immediately give up resistance. They turned around and ran into the city along the sewers, their faces filled with indescribable fear and horror.
So scary!
They had only heard of legendary spellcasters of this level in some ancient biographies and records.
Whether it's casting speed, adaptability, spell identification, or super-magic skills, they are definitely not something that ordinary arcane casters can contend with.
Especially every time when I chanted the spell first, the other party could complete the same spell in only one-third of the time or even less.
This doesn't even include the massive amount of instant super magic and the silver fire bestowed upon the chosen by the goddess of magic...
As for the technique of completing two spells of concentration at once, it is unheard of.
As we all know, mages are always the most rational and selfish group of people in all professions.
When they realize that there is no chance of winning, they will naturally choose to sell out their teammates and run away without hesitation.
Sometimes even good-aligned mages are no exception.
You know, even a celebrity like Elminster once tricked the "mad wizard" Halaster Blackrobe when he escaped from hell.
It's a pity that Zuo Si had no intention of letting anyone leave.
Before these arcane spellcasters could run a few steps, they heard a creepy sound coming from the passage ahead.
Before they could cast a lighting spell to check the situation, zombie rats rushed out like a tide, and pounced on and bit any living person they saw.
If someone kills it using magic or weapons, the negative energy in the zombie rat's body will explode instantly.
Although this will not cause fatal harm to higher-level professionals, negative energy will erode the body and cause a decline in attributes in all aspects.
To put it more simply, it is called "negative level" or "level loss".
Because the incident happened suddenly and there were so many zombie rats, the relatively fragile spellcasters were wiped out in the first round of contact, and not even a single one survived.
You don't need to ask to know that these zombie rats were set up by Zuo Si when he was free and waiting.
The classic is reproduced.
After all, there are many pests such as rats and cockroaches in places like sewers, so it is very convenient to use local materials.
Watching his men fall to the ground one after another, their bodies being quickly gawed into bloody skeletons by zombie rats, their souls being devoured by Chaos Barghests, and their divine power and divinity being plundered by Zuo Si, Gromnir finally realized that he could not escape today no matter what.
So he took a deep breath, and the muscles all over his body quickly became engorged with blood. His eyes also emitted a terrifying red light, and he immediately activated the special ability of the [Helm of Wheeler] on his head, creating an image that was exactly the same as himself out of thin air.
Then he cooperated with the simulacrum, swung the crystal meteor hammer in his hand, which was emitting azure light and was like a hard ice block, and rushed straight to Zuo Si's position. This powerful weapon with an enchantment level of +4 could not only cause additional cold damage to the target when it hit, but also resist fire magic damage to a certain extent due to the cold air.
"Since you are so aware, I will play with you for a while."
As a very alert person, Zuo Si undoubtedly noticed the half-blood orc's determination to go all out. He also wanted to test how his current swordsmanship level compared to these top fighters, so he decisively drew his sword and performed a sword salute in a very elegant posture.
Unfortunately, Gromnir, who inherited the orcs' rude character and bloodline, did not respond at all.
He activated his violent ability the moment he entered the attack range. His muscles were instantly filled with explosive power. He grinned and roared, "Arrogant bastard! Even if I am destined to die here today, I will break a few of your teeth before I die!"
Ding! With a crisp sound, the meteor hammer and the sword blade collided with each other, emitting dazzling blue sparks.
Gromnir's ferocious expression froze on his face in an instant.
Unlike what one might have imagined, which was to knock the opponent's sword out of his hand with one blow, Zuo Si's sword was not affected by the huge impact force. Instead, his extremely terrifying brute force bounced the meteor hammer back, causing his palm to go numb and he almost couldn't hold the weapon.
You should know that Gromnir is a legendary warrior with a total professional level of LV26.
In addition, since he is an orc, his initial strength attribute is higher than that of humans, and even without considering the equipment, it is still 25 points.
Later, when the power and divinity of the Son of Baal were awakened, the strength attribute gradually increased by almost ten points, reaching an astonishing thirty-five points.
In addition, there are four points of strength brought by rage and five points of strength provided by the belt, which makes a total of forty-four points of strength attribute.
Even if he were to fight a dragon head-on, Gromnir was absolutely confident that he could pin the dragon to the ground.
But now, this confident attack was actually blocked by a spellcaster who looked quite "weak". How could he accept this?
"I think you must be very surprised now and want to know what I did to you, right? But the problem is, I really didn't do anything. I just used my physical strength to block your attack.
In other words, I crush you in terms of strength.
Even though it's unbelievable, this is the fact…”
Zuo Si couldn't help but let out a playful smile.
He didn't know when it started, but he particularly liked to see the reaction of this guy with amazing self-sufficiency and strength after being forced easily back.
Especially the shock, disbelief and incomprehension revealed in the expressions and eyes are so funny.
After all, no one would believe that a wizard would have a bare strength attribute of up to 70 points, so they would only suspect that something was wrong with them.
