Chapter 232 Blockade
Nohir and his team took action. After clearing the demon army in the eastern half of the city, they immediately ran towards their original destination through one of the chains.
These chains are very wide and pulled straight. Although the main purpose of these chains is to maintain the stability of the city and prevent too many people from dying in the overturning or earthquake of the city, they now serve as It is the only bridge that non-flying creatures can use to travel between the two cities.
Currently, the entire city is like an inverted triangular pyramid. At the same time, this triangular pyramid has been split into two halves. The plane of the triangular pyramid, that is, each half of the city above has four chains. These chains After the city split, it passively pulled the entire city to the east and west. If it were not fixed by the two chains in the middle, the entire city would have tipped over long ago.
But thanks to these two chains and the rock formations below the city that are against each other, these two conditions make the current city barely in a very dangerous state of dynamic stability, except for the occasional friction caused by the rock formations below. Except for earthquakes, there is almost no possibility of other natural disasters.
Although frequent earthquakes are bad enough.
Nohir grabbed Ender and took him to fly over this unprotected ropeway. As a field craftsman, Ender's skills were not very good. If Nohir didn't help him, It would be difficult for him to walk through these chains on his own.
In fact, let alone him, except for Leon and Zander, who focus on agility, it is difficult for others to guarantee that they will never fall off this chain bridge without any protection measures.
Nohir had to make two more trips to transport Ska, who was wearing heavy armor. The veteran half-orc Groo of Flame Fist, who was also wearing heavy armor, was forced to fly by the consultant. The purpose of not bringing Ska is to save a third-level spell slot, and to bring Geluo is to save time on the round trip.
As the Holy Flying Elephant, Lulu can fly. As a magician, Tavis uses the natural ability [Star Shift] given to him by his magic master to teleport instantly. As a succubus, Roswell was born with wings and could fly, but she had almost no ability to carry people.
Leon and Zander were a monk specializing in agility, and the other was a wood elf, and they were also magic archers specializing in agility. They stepped on these chains very elegantly and easily.
Minsk’s profession is a ranger. Although he is a rare power ranger hunter, and he looks very big and clumsy, this is just an illusion. His agility is also not low, and he does not need help from others. You can also cross this dangerous bridge easily.
The group of people successfully passed the ropeway without encountering any unexpected situations. Although the ropeway is currently stretched very straight, if the rock formations below the city rub against each other and an earthquake occurs, even agility professionals will easily fall off. Go down, luckily they are not so unlucky.
Ska: "I know the road here. We will reach the Supreme Hall soon. According to Nohill's information, there should still be a lot of resisters in the western half of the city. Hell. The knights and city guards are all here, but even so, the specific situation here is definitely not optimistic."
Minsk: "Don't worry, Paladin, Minsk will defeat them just like before! Just the same, these devils are like crispy biscuits that can be broken into two halves with just one click! ”
Nohill: "It won't be as simple as before, Minsk, there are too many devils here, and they are all gathered together. We must be careful."
Frorick: " Nohill is right. I have calculated that we killed less than 400 devils in total when we cleared the eastern half of the city. Because most of these devils were very scattered, we could easily defeat them one by one, but here Our original plan will not work."
Ander: "I have great confidence in the Iron Guards, but the physical fitness and vitality of devils are far beyond that of mortals. Once these devils form a battle formation in sufficient numbers. , Even we can't defeat them as easily as before, and the Devil Legion must have siege weapons. The Iron Guards are very hard, but it is also difficult to withstand the crossbows made of hell iron." Nuo Xi. Er: "So we have to get in touch with the local defenders first, but according to my perception, the number of devils in the Supreme Hall is extremely large. There are about 600 or nearly 700 devils. We can't just go there directly."
Florrick: "There is also Master Jaheira. She reached hell one step earlier than us, but I can't contact her with magic now."
The information transmitted using any communication spell in hell will be captured by the devil in some way. This is the intelligence provided by Ska, and why does Ska know this? Because this is a legend that has been spread among the Hell Knights for hundreds of years.
The reason why the Knights of Hell are called Hell Knights is because they once invaded hell under the leadership of a certain angel. Although it is a pity that the information recorded by that angel within the Knights is very incomplete. Even the specific name did not appear, but historical data also recorded that under the brave leadership of the angel, the entire advance process in the early stages of the war was unfavorable. Those devils were simply no match for the knights' charge.
But in the later stages of that war, the knights were not aware of this fatal problem, which directly caused them to use communication spells to capture all the tactics they used when the battle reached a stalemate. Knowing that this paved the way for the Knights' failure.
After the Hell Knights failed, they accidentally discovered this during the post-war review. Since then, this information has been circulating within the Knights. Scar had already reported this before coming. The story was told to them all.
Although Advisor Florrick was doubtful about this legend, to be on the safe side she told Jahilana the news before the operation, and did not use communication spells to contact Jahilana after the operation began. Scared once.
Nohir: "The consultant is right. Master Jaheira is very strong. If we can find her and inform her of the information we have now, we can try to conduct a decapitation raid on the high-level devil. As long as we can successfully control The so-called Legion Commander Devil will definitely be able to obtain more information, and our chances of success will be greater."
Florrick: "This is indeed a huge advantage. In this case, I still have a way to contact Master Jaheira."
"I can try to contact her now. In just a few words, we can build a reasonable relationship. Of course, you also know the tactics and the risks."
Nohill: "It's better not to do this. We didn't find any trace of the master when we were in the east, so the master must be in the west. At most, it will be a waste. It’s not difficult for me to check the location. There is no need to contact him rashly at the risk of being intercepted.”
Florrick: “After all, the information provided by Scar is possible. Is it true? I have never heard of any magic that can monitor the communications of an entire world. Is this really possible? ”
Nohill: "The teleportation spell cannot yet affect the other eight levels of hell. What's more, according to the information I have obtained, it should not be difficult for the Lord of the nine levels of hell to do such a thing. There are terrible things in the devil's world. Called a pathological order, this kind of tough control is a necessary condition for the Lord of Nine Hells to maintain his rule."
