Chapter 189: Fox Friends and Dogs
It can be seen that the swordsmanship system of the hostess Sandra is similar to the knightly swordsmanship of an aristocratic family, with skillful moves and superb steps, and one-on-one dwarves are not necessarily opponents.
But when it comes to the ability to fight bad battles, she is too far behind!
Just by not attacking the two "knight taboos" of the neck and the lower three lanes, the attack points are all concentrated in the chest and abdomen triangle, which makes her fall into the disadvantage as soon as they meet. Caught between two lizardmen left and right, he was firmly suppressed. And the farmers of those farms were also decent when they set up their defenses, but when they encountered the lizardmen bandits, they were almost crushed! It became a headless fly running around.
Then at this extremely critical moment, Shen Yan and the dwarf appeared, and they appeared against the enemy formation!
Shen Yan bleed all the way out of the formation! The dwarf followed behind and chopped off seven or eight scaly anti-jointed calves one after another! This counterattack stunned the lizardmen who were chasing the peasants.
"My family lives close to a swamp, and the lizardmen are like a neighbor who smells like a foul neighbor."
"Oh...... The lizardman is like a good buddy of mine. ”
This explains why they are so familiar with the lizardmen's routines.
Shen Yan bent down, and the two of them hit the shield quite tacitly, and then separated left and right, and in an instant, a bloody storm was set off on the periphery!
The lizardmen bandits here are supposed to be in the same ethnic branch as Omar, one of the Big Four in Green Horn, and both are nocturnal visioners, discolored, and half-warm-blooded, all green...... Despite their tall stature, they are the best scouts with their anti-joints, which allow them to press their bodies very low and blend in with their environment.
In fact, there were two lizardman scouts in ambush near Sandra's farmstead, and the planned attack was stopped by the sudden arrival of the adventure party, and it was not until Arthur left with the people that the lizardman scouts re-informed the tribe and launched an attack - who knew that they ran into two evil gods head-on.
With the two of them pulling on the periphery, Sandra's strength was finally released.
When a female driver...... No, it was a terrifying scene when the female warrior drove with her two-handed greatsword.
All kinds of severed limbs, all kinds of waist slashes!
"I'm sorry I forgot to hit the brakes!" "I'm sorry, I thought it was the throttle!" "Open your eyes!" "Don't look at the drive> Not to mention the lizardmen, even Kelge and Shen Yan, who don't want to die, have to flash as far as they want.
More than thirty lizardmen and two soft eggs were chased by a big sword and slashed to the head!
When the lizardmen dispersed, Shen Yan and Kelge glanced at each other and wiped their cold sweat together...... This raging female warrior is truly terrifying.
"Ran away?" The female owner who put down the giant sword woke up and switched back to the appearance of a gentle and intellectual big sister. "Thank you two for your help, please go back to the manor to rest first, I have to take someone to clean up here...... Alas. ”
Speaking of which, although the farmers of the manor were driven like chickens, surprisingly none of them died, which made Sandra breathe a sigh of relief.
……
There is no need to elaborate on the trivial matters such as Shandra leading the people to collect the farmers of the manor, clean up the corpses, calculate the damage, etc., and in the evening, Arthur returns with the three girls, Shi Shiran, and finally asks why the lizardmen attacked Shandra's farm.
In fact, these lizardfolk in the northeast of Neverwinter have always lived in the swamps, neighboring the druids of Eleanne and the dwarven tribes of Kelg, and are only a few mountains away from the far mountains of the green forest—everyone is a villager.
Although the three black hands of humans, dwarves and elves silently scratched the lizardmen to the side of the orcs, in fact, they are really not orcs, oviparous and viviparous. It's just that there is less contact with this side, and there is usually nothing to do.
However, a Gise silver sword hooks the storm, and the Gisyankees' snatching sets off a chain reaction, with the Shadow King's henchman, Luskan's fifth pillar, Hegas, also involved. As Luskan's power squeezed southward, the swamp lizardfolk gradually lost their living space and had to migrate south, so Sandra's farm was unlucky.
It's not just her farm, it's the high cliff that's even more unlucky!
The lizardmen blocked the shipping lanes of High Cliff Harbor, and High Cliff's business collapsed, and Arthur and the others were unable to take a boat to Neverwinter even if they reached High Cliff.
The lizardmen are forcing humans to make a choice - either give up the cliff harbor and towns and give the lizardmen more room to live; Either Neverwinter will send troops to the high cliffs to support, and then Lukanth's power will naturally shrink back, and then the lizardmen will also be able to gain living space.
So this is not a trivial incident of lizardmen bandits at all, but the survival wisdom of a small race that survives in the cracks under the overall situation.
“…… We met a lizardman in the ruins of High Cliff Castle who was fighting the undead, and we helped him by taking us to meet the lizardmen's elders. At the dinner table, Arthur excitedly said, "At the Lizardman Cave, we met the Lizardman Elder, an old and wise lizardman, and we managed to convince him to give up attacking the high cliffs!" ”
The protagonists of the multiverse have made another meritorious service, and at this moment Arthur is not alone, not alone!
Shen Yan sighed softly, when he saw Sandra, he actually remembered this small plot, but he didn't plan to get involved, but let Arthur play. Because this is the first highlight moment of Arthur as the protagonist after coming out of Westport, he has finally won the recognition of his friends, just look at the way Elle and Nesica look at him now.
The trip was not very dangerous, the lizardmen were just trying to create an invasion, and they did not want to form a deep grudge against the humans. The people they caught were all locked up for the time being, and Arthur wouldn't be in much danger if he went deep into the lizardmen's lair.
If Arthur's mouth cannon fails in the end, Shen Yan will also go out to convince the lizardman elders.
He has a lizardmen's best friend who speaks lizardmen and knows their habits inside out.
*****
The next day, the group rushed to the high cliff and boarded a cargo ship bound for Neverwinter.
Because he "persuaded back" the lizardmen's attack, Arthur managed to get a bounty from the mayor of High Cliffs, temporarily relieving his financial embarrassment.
Sandra didn't join them, firstly because the farm was a mess that the lizardmen had messed up and needed to be reorganized; The second is that she hasn't built enough trust with Arthur and his party - Sandra's farm has suffered a lot from the lizardmen's attack, and a whole year's hard work has been in vain! She looked forward to taking revenge on the lizardmen when Neverwinter's reinforcements arrived!
But because of Arthur's mouth cannon, this expectation was disappointed...... But at the same time, she is also grateful to Arthur, and in short, she has mixed feelings.
There were no good conditions on the cargo ship, but there were a lot of passengers, all of whom were blocked on the cliff at this stage. There is no entertainment when there are many people, and the rest is naturally drinking, fighting, and gambling. Arthur hid on the side with two female team members, but Shen Yan and Kelge were happy, and they became one with everyone in less than a day.
"When did you two get on such a good relationship?" Nesika couldn't help but ask. The witch is a little entangled now, she finds that she likes the silly Captain Arthur a little, but she can't let go of the handsome and golden little fresh meat.
It's painful not to be able to choose between the two.
"I've been short of dwarven friends!" Shen Yan took the wine glass, hugged Kelge's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Me too! Hahaha" Kelger yelled in a loud voice, raising his wine glass and hitting Shen Yan hard. The two stumbled back to the crowd and continued to party.
……
"This is going to disembark?" When Arthur and the others dragged them out of the drunken pile, the two of them were still confused.
In fact, the high cliff is not far from the winter, and the morning and evening are coming.
"My head...... It hurts and wants to cut it off, vomit, your body smells like stinky sauerkraut! Hahaha. When he got off the boat, Kelge, who was standing next to Shen Yan, hugged his stomach and laughed wildly.
"You smell like stinking shit!" Shen Yan Shi Ran took out a scroll and smashed it on himself, and with a bang, the wine stains, smells, and dust disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the robe became clean as new.
"Ahh Kelger's eyes widened in shock, "You still have such a good thing hidden, give it to me, give it to me!" ”
"You? Let's go down and take a shower! Shen Yan slammed into Kelge, who waved his hands and shouted, "I can't swim", and fell from the trestle into the sea in despair......
