Chapter 458: Politics is the art of compromise, but I don’t need to learn it(1/4)

 "Fuzoul Chamberry!!!"
Seeing with his own eyes that two powerful dragon allies were severely wounded and captured by the enemy in an instant, Delt's originally unstable mood finally collapsed completely. His eyes were covered with scary bloodshot eyes, staring fiercely not far away.
The Tyrant of the Moon Sea holds a javelin stained red with blood in one hand.
Almost at the same time, the arcane casters of Zhentil Castle led by Manson, as well as the undead army of Sazastan, the red-robed mages, as well as the priests and black guards of the church of Bane, the god of tyranny, also mobilized collectively.
.
In less than seven or eight minutes, the few spellcasters in the coalition forces in the two cities were beaten to the ground.
The defensive line that was finally stabilized completely collapsed.
In desperation, countless soldiers and adventurers could only lay down their weapons and choose to surrender, first thinking of ways to save their own lives.
They obviously knew very well that it was impossible to outrun the combination of the swift and windy hobgoblins and wargs, ordinary goblins and goblin dogs with just two legs.
In addition, although Zhentil Keep and the Church of Benn are typical evil camps, they are also lawful camps.
Once a promise is made to surrender and avoid death, it will usually not be broken.
The worst case scenario is that after being captured, they will be sent to hard labor in mines, quarries and other places, or they may be demoted as slaves and sold.
Anyway, it is definitely much better than continuing to make meaningless resistance and being killed, and then being dragged up as an undead by those equally evil red-robed mages.
It has to be said that the appearance of Sazastan and his undead army indirectly did a great favor to Fuzor Chamberry and successfully dispelled many people's determination to fight to the death.
After all, they may be able to accept their own death calmly, but it is absolutely impossible for them to accept that they will become undead creatures and continue to be enslaved by evil enemies after death.
In contrast, the elite knights that Eltoril City spent a lot of money, time and effort to cultivate are obviously unlikely to surrender easily.
Because they are all devout believers of Heim, the guardian god.
If you surrender at this time, you will be rejected by the gods, so you can only fight to the last moment of your life.
Except for a small number of people who suffered a mental breakdown under the control of extreme fear and despair, abandoned their faith in Heim and chose to surrender, the rest were already in a state of almost total annihilation.
Especially the alien creatures summoned through conjuration magic, many of them have excellent flying abilities.
The most powerful impact and speed advantages of cavalry are completely useless in front of flying units.
Either he was pulled down by a dive and cut into pieces with random swords, or he was restrained to death by low-level large-scale control spells such as Grease and Spider Web.
Especially when the coalition's spell casters were suppressed and a large number of mages mastered the ability to teleport, the warlocks realized that their defeat was certain and left their companions to flee. The remaining low-level spell casters were either killed quickly or became prisoners.
After the battle is over, they will be divided between the Red Robe Mage and Zhentil Keep, using the threat of death to force them to do evil things such as killing their former companions, and then spread the news.
As a result, these mages can only accept their fate and join the former's organization, slowly becoming evil and depraved, and eventually becoming selfish spellcasters.
As for those pastors, if they are willing to change their beliefs, they will be accepted by Ben Church immediately.
If you don't want to, then I'm sorry, please go die.
In short, since Zhentil Fort has rich experience in wars and conquests, it can be said to be very handy in handling these matters. There is no random robbery, murder, or gang rape of women like other armies.
Its organization, discipline and obedience are no worse than the religious armies under the command of lawful good gods.
Even ordinary goblins who are in chaos, as well as monsters who have just been recruited, are strictly executing orders under the supervision of human and orc officers.
Because anyone who dares to disobey, or kills until he loses control and falls into a bloodthirsty rage, will basically be killed on the spot without mercy.
After all, although the proportion of various monsters in this army now exceeds 70%, it is not a ragtag group led by a primitive tribe chief.
Quite the opposite!
Forzor Chambery used the power of the Church of Bane, the god of tyranny, as the skeleton, the rigorously trained officers of Zhentil Keep as the basis, and combined with the absolute control of the Tyrant's Scepter and the clear reward and punishment system to form a powerful legion.
.
All recruited monsters are usually not put into the battlefield immediately, but must first undergo a series of training.
This is why after suffering a defeat, the army was stationed on the river bank for so many days to repair.
On the one hand, it is to restore morale, and on the other hand, it is to train those monsters who have just been forcibly recruited, so that they can learn to abide by discipline, follow orders and prohibitions, and how to cooperate with each other to fight in formation.
It can even be said that the background of this army is the ultimate evil law.
However, as the supreme commander of the coalition forces, Delt no longer cared about gathering the defeated troops and retreating back to the city. Instead, he rode the strong heavy war horse under his crotch and launched a charge towards the Tyrant of the Moon Sea without hesitation, hoping to rescue the two seriously injured soldiers.
Captured metal dragon.
After all, he is a lawful good paladin, and his nature and beliefs determine that he cannot leave behind any of his subordinates or allies and choose to retreat.
"Hahahaha! Stupid paladin! Who do you think you are? How dare you challenge the spokesperson of the great dark king in this world?"
Fuzuoer Qianberry laughed wildly, blessed himself with a lot of magic, and waved the scepter in his hand to greet him.
Bang!
Accompanied by the muffled sound of a broken skull, the high-speed sprinting war horse had its head smashed in an instant. It screamed and turned 180 degrees in mid-air, and finally fell to the ground hard. It twitched and swallowed unwillingly.
Last breath.
Obviously, with the blessing of powerful magic equipment and several divine spells, Fuzuoer Chambery directly used the purest brute force to bring the war horse to a physical emergency stop.
The power he released in that moment far exceeded the total impact force produced by the weight and acceleration of the war horse plus the rider.
As for Delt, who has the LV17 paladin level, he was beaten to pieces on the spot and was unable to successfully complete this mounted charge.
You must know that this guy was originally determined to die and wanted to use the evil-breaking slash at the cost of his own life to directly kill the opponent.
But unfortunately, although the professional level gap between the two is not big, Delt even has a considerable advantage in close combat.
But the problem is that Fuzor Chamberry is a magical spellcaster and a chosen one, and his combat effectiveness cannot be measured by common sense.
What's more, he also has more than one amazingly powerful artifact in his hands, as well as a large number of high-end equipment and magic items.
Among them, the Tyrant's Scepter that Zuo Si borrowed temporarily is currently in his hand, and another artifact, the Tyrant's Eye Scepter, has been activated and floats in mid-air as a smart weapon with independent consciousness and thinking ability, continuously moving toward
The enemy on the ground attacks.
Since the latter would continuously release debilitating rays at all targets that did not believe in Bane, Delt only resisted it twice before he began to become embarrassed.
If the strength attribute weakens to zero, he will die instantly, and then the soul will be sucked in and imprisoned. The effect is like the eighth-ring conjuration magic [Soul Entrapment].
In addition, Fuzor Chamberry also has 5 strong magic armor, 8 protective wrist guards, a bat cloak, a ring of freedom of movement, a ring of teleportation, etc.
But what about Delt?
This paladin who believes in the guardian god Heim only has a 3-level sacred greatsword with extra damage to evil creatures, a set of 1-level full-body armor, and an amulet given by the church that permanently protects the wearer from evil.
.
If it weren't for the paladin's divine grace, aura of courage, divine blessing, and terrifyingly high magic resistance, he would not feel fear no matter how terrifying the enemy he faced.
When faced with such an overwhelming disadvantage, most people would probably collapse and run away long ago.
Although there are many heroic legends in the continent of Faerûn that rely on pure spirit and faith to defeat powerful enemies, Delt is obviously not one of them.
As he was hit by debilitating rays more and more often, his strength attributes quickly dropped to a level lower than that of ordinary people.
In this state, let alone continuing to fight, even bearing the weight of the full body armor seems out of breath and powerless.
As a result, Fuzuoer Chamberry saw the opportunity and kicked him to the ground. He kicked the 3 sacred attribute giant sword away from him, stepped on the chest of the armor with one foot, and said in a condescending tone: "Stop struggling.
,Paladin.
You and your God can't change anything at all.
This land is destined to be shrouded in the glory of the great Bane.
Now I'll give you a chance to turn from darkness to light.
As long as you are willing to abandon the god of guardianship, Heim, and instead serve the great god of tyranny, becoming his dark guard.
Then not only will I not kill you, I will also give you an important position in the church.
From now on, you can not only continue to manage the city of Eltoril, but also gain the right to rule other nearby towns and villages."
You don't need to ask to know that the reason why Fuzor Chamberry chose to persuade him to surrender is that the higher the level of the paladin, the more powerful he can gain when he degenerates into a dark guard.
This is the competition between good and evil.
If it succeeds, even Bane, the god of tyranny, will be happy and give generous rewards to those who achieve this goal.
If you are a first to second level paladin who has fallen, you can get at most one extra kill of good per day. But if you are level three or above, you can get holy healing. If you are above level seven, you can summon purgatory creatures as servants or mounts. If you are above level nine, you can get rid of purgatory.
In addition to the servant, it can also control an undead creature as a companion, and is immune to the priest's dispel or rebuke.
To be continued...
