Chess Mage of Faerûn

Chapter 424 A Few Things About Kaguya's Heroes

Zhang Yuan picked out the curved plow, an agricultural tool that originated in the late Tang Dynasty and left an important mark on the history of agricultural development and the history of time travelers showing off.

Old tricks never get old; in fact, they become more useful with age.

The mage, having retrieved the diagram of the curved plow from his own memory book, quickly produced a prototype and sent it, along with the drawn diagram, to Bard, who then oversaw the production or modification of the new agricultural implement.

It was one thing for the villagers to use their own old plows, but the plows donated by the Mandan family were mostly new ones with iron plowshares. According to the mage, they were all modified into the standard curved plow design, and then the villagers were allowed to use them and compare them. Once they personally experienced the difference, they would surely accept it.

On the other hand, the newly recruited personnel also urgently need to be resettled and assigned.

Lawrence's progress in assembling the wandering party at Baldur's Gate wasn't exactly stellar, but it wasn't too bad either. After all, not many people were willing to go to such a remote and desolate place as the northwest of High Cliffs, especially since the mage had attached conditions:
Those who are married or under the age of seventeen.

Lawrence fully understood his boss's considerations and concerns, but these conditions did indeed increase the difficulty of his recruitment.

When the feedback was relayed to the monk, only one sentence was received:

"It is better to have nothing than to have something less than enough."

The final number of people hired was five: two young people who dreamed of distant places and adventures, and three seasoned thieves who, like Lawrence, had been struggling for many years and had families to support.

Two of them even planned to retire from their criminal activities and start their own small businesses, but in the end, they couldn't resist the treatment offered by Lawrence and the knighthood he presented.

A baron who is willing to grant a noble title to a wanderer is probably not so harsh or stingy towards his subordinates.

Another person in charge of recruitment was Münster. He hadn't been idle during the month or so that he stayed in Wudong. Apart from occasionally going to the high cliffs to suppress bandits, he spent most of his time gathering refugees.

The mage didn't just abandon Münster in Neverwinter. Thanks to his prior request and discussion with Lady Opera, Münster, while somewhat flustered in dealing with these trivial matters, was at least not completely overwhelmed.

The well-connected lady sent a dancer, nominally a liaison, to Münster to assist with liaison work. During this time, she resolved a variety of problems, but they can be mainly divided into two aspects.

One aspect was providing assistance in resettling refugees, such as renting houses and purchasing food, all of which relied on the matchmaking efforts of Moonstone Mask.

The other is to help contact reliable adventurers or mercenaries to assist in the clearing operation.

Why coordinate forces?
After witnessing the terrifying spectacle of the berserk trio's rampage, the mercenary squad that accepted the job readily agreed to take on the task of mopping up and chasing them down.

Once the three exceptionally talented and well-equipped mid-level berserkers unleash their heavy weapons, they create a whirlwind of carnage.

The local monsters of Gaoya also have a bitter history. Ever since Master Zhang confirmed that this place was his own territory, these unfortunate creatures living next to him have undoubtedly become a thorn in his side, and thus began their own bloody and tearful history of suffering.

At that time, the monk was engrossed in his studies and cultivation in the academy, but sending a few pawns to cooperate with his team members to go to the high cliff to clear out the enemy was just a small matter.

The worst part is that most of the three-star one-cost units are warriors, those aggressive fighting machines—Tusk, Axe, Mars, each more violent and bloodthirsty than the last. Tiny, the only one with a good temperament, is rarely seen due to its size.

These war-crazed individuals, who have been imprisoned inside the Mad Moon for so long and are on the verge of madness from repression and frustration, will not miss any opportunity to prove their existence.

Despite the mage's repeated warnings, these guys, who had barely endured the journey, instantly went into a berserk state after encountering those unlucky fools, and pounced on the group of monsters with death looming over them.

The battle was bloody but not intense; the scene was brutal but not tense.

After witnessing their almost indescribable art of killing, even Rick and Morty, whose minds were often muddled and confused, suddenly regained their rationality and calmed down.

Münster and his group were quite polite, or rather, restrained themselves from interfering in the fight. Instead, they chose to cheer from the sidelines and take the opportunity to observe and learn.

While their horizons broadened considerably, the three brothers' academic performance was far from ideal.

It wasn't that the warriors of Kaguya's world weren't skilled enough; on the contrary, they were too skilled. Their combat techniques, having reached a state of returning to simplicity, were still too profound for Münster and his companions.

When you see someone else's casual basic attack as a killer move, there's no point in even talking about learning.

On the other hand, the difference in the weapons used is also a factor. Axe King aside, Mars, who uses a spear and shield, and Tusk, who is good at warhammers and short axes, cannot provide much insight to the trio who specialize in greatswords and maces.

Although Münster and his teammates were disappointed, they were not discouraged. There was still a long way to go. Since their leader intended to cultivate and give important positions to his veteran teammates, they were not afraid of not having opportunities in the future.
There must be some strong individuals who are skilled in using two-handed greatswords and spiked clubs, right?

Sometime later, after the three of them told their boss about their requests, they were met with a pitying look from Master Zhang, which made Münster feel uneasy.

The mace is manageable; once he learns level six summoning magic, the Brewmaster will be able to do more than just drunken boxing. He'll also be adept at wielding heavy flail and long-handled warhammer with impressive skill. But the greatsword…

The one who truly excels in the art of two-handed greatswords is the wandering swordsman Sven, and his expansive, powerful, and unparalleled fighting style is extremely suitable for Münster, the Rossiman berserker.

But the Wandering Swordsman, a five-cost orange card, wants to make his debut as a three-star piece carrying his own consciousness...

As for the ninth-level arcane spell, just wait and see!
It's true that Sven and Sven have quite a few similarities.

Born in the same land of howling north winds and icy snow, with the same weapon specializations and combat styles, and the same reserved and taciturn nature.

They both have a strange fetish for beautiful witches!

Yes, based on the various gossips the mage knew, the relationship between Sven and Lily seemed to be a little unusual. However, most of these rumors came from Evil Shadow Fairy, the famous prankster, troublemaker, gossipy old woman, and chatterbox in the Kaguya world, known as the Big Moth (crossed out) Flower Fairy Miriska. She was mischievous and clever, and also the main medium for spreading gossip. She had only met with her a few times when she revealed a lot of rumors about the heroes in the Kaguya world.
