Chapter 233 Siege
Nohir: "I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist, so let's stick to the same old method. I will go find out the situation. If the Supreme Hall is really besieged, we will think about it again. If there is another way, I will come back and tell you."
Ska frowned and asked very worriedly.
"There are too many demons this time. Do you really have confidence? What if you are discovered when you investigate too deeply?"
Nohir was shaken. Shaking his head, he said confidently.
"Don't worry, I'm sure, I have unknown infiltration skills."
Even if Nohill said this, everyone's eyes were still worried, even though Nohill had proven his infiltration skills before The technology and ability to obtain intelligence were nothing like barbarians, leaving them dumbfounded, but this time it was different.
There are too many enemies. Even among the people here, no one is confident that they can escape from the siege of so many enemies.
Nohir saw everyone's worries, and in order to dispel their concerns, he continued.
“Don’t forget those magic potions. I also have a few bottles of invisibility potions. With this, you don’t have to worry.”
Advisor Florrick shook his head and said in denial.
“There are many demons who can innately see through invisibility, but being invisible is not safe. At least that hunter demon has real vision, and you absolutely cannot hide in front of him.”
Nohir thought again.
“Besides being invisible, my appearance is also a huge advantage. Don’t worry, it’s no problem. Even if I am seen, I can disguise myself as one of them with the information I obtained, plus the demon army. There are no powerful flying units here, so I can fly away directly even if I am discovered."
Gero was a little envious.
"It's such a convenient ability, and Gro wants to be able to fly all the time."
Gero had briefly experienced the feeling of flying before, so he expressed full envy for Nohir's natural wings, and Ming Si Ke smiled boldly.
"Ha, I knew that Nohir has always been the bravest! Right, Xiaobu."
"Squeak (squeak of approval)."
“What a crazy act.”
Everyone sighed one after another.
Nohir has said this. Even if everyone is worried, there is nothing they can do. They actually believe in Nohir's ability. He has shown extraordinary reliability in combat and other aspects before. But this time he had to sneak into more than 600 devils alone to gather information, which was really outrageous.
The risks faced by being mixed with so many devils are by no means as understated as Nohill said. This is why everyone is so worried. Although the current means of interrogation exist, there is a risk of being eavesdropped. , there are no professional thieves among them, so the job of gathering information can only be left to Nohill.
“Your own safety is the priority in everything, be careful.”
The consultant sent the most sincere blessings on behalf of everyone. It can be said that Nohill contributed a lot during this trip to hell. The biggest one, he is the one who completes the most difficult tasks. Nohill has used his actions to gain the respect of all team members. Although he has a devil-like face and form, in their eyes, This face and appearance can no longer measure his character.
"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting for too long."
Nohill said confidently, then left the team, ran towards the Supreme Hall, and started his solo performance. After getting out of everyone's sight, he immediately put away all the equipment on his body, leaving only his gloves and crown, and then immediately transformed into a Thorn Demon. At the same time, he also took out a set of special equipment for the Thorn Demon from the space box. Forged standard weapons and armor.
The disguise brought about by the crown is so seamless that it is almost impossible to see through it in a physical sense. From a physical level, Nohir is now a real devil. , even the equipment on his body is no different from that of a devil.
Including the gloves and the crown. When he transformed into a devil, these two pieces of equipment also transformed with him, except for some differences in details, such as the three gems on the crown and the The general appearance of these two pieces of equipment is exactly the same as those of standard equipment.
However, these details are not a big deal. As long as I pretend to have a little status, this slight change in equipment will have no impact at all.
Nohir, who was completely disguised as a Thorn Demon, kept the crown's thought detection range within five meters. This range can bring out the maximum effectiveness of the crown, and there is no need to worry about accidentally encountering some particularly powerful ones. The devil sensed his mind detection.
After thorough preparations were completed, Nohir, disguised as an adjutant-level devil, ran towards the Supreme Hall in a swagger. A devil of this level has a certain status and is not too eye-catching. Great for sneaking in.
——
The High Hall, this is a magnificent and snow-white marble castle dedicated to Tom, the god of courage and sacrifice. The castle stands tall and is home to a large number of Eltori. Er's religious and political leaders—at least while the city was still on the Material Plane.
But soon after Eltoril was drawn into Avernus, a meteor crashed through the High Hall, destroying the offices and residences of those best able to organize the city's defenses.
Most of the leaders of Eltoril were killed by meteors, but Grand Duke Ravengarde from Baldur's Gate and his entourage were lucky enough to escape from this incident because they were on the periphery. Survive the destruction.
Ravengarde witnessed this tragedy, including the world turning upside down. He immediately tried to control the situation after the entire city fell into hell. Relying on his strong personality, he commanded Al at the first opportunity. Toril's remaining forces and devised plans to protect the city.
Ravengarde had done his best. After the whole city fell into hell, he gathered the survivors as soon as possible and organized an army to resist the invading demons. However, at that time, the abyssal demons had not yet invaded Nine. Hell, a large number of demon legions entered the city accompanied by the light of hellfire.
The Hell Knights fought bravely, but there were too many enemies, too powerful, and too sudden. They could not save the eastern part of the city. In the first two days, they could barely survive. The western region launched resistance, and the Duke even gathered his troops on the first day and rushed to the eastern half of the city to join the city garrison there, and then withdrew to the west with a large number of surviving personnel. However, after that, it was only the second day. , they directly lost control of 80% of the entire city.
All the city survivors rescued by the Duke have settled in the Hell Knight barracks behind the High Hall Castle. This may be the safest and strongest building left in Eltoril. Not only does it have city walls and bunkers, Below the military camp is an underground area with an amazing area, enough to accommodate more than 5,000 people.
At that time, most civilians stayed in the underground area, while those soldiers who were able to fight stayed in the city walls and bunkers above, relying on the defense measures within the military camp itself, and those who did not want to escape, thus The people who joined the army and continued to bravely participate in the war, they withstood the first few days and the most violent wave of the devil's army's offensive.
But it also paid a heavy price.
Nowadays, most of the demon legions have withdrawn from the city for reasons they still don’t know yet. Now there is only one devil legion outside the city wall, but they have no power to resist.
Many people died and many were injured.
So much so that a dissatisfied demon army could completely block them.
They are now short of water and food, and are in danger. Despair has almost enveloped everyone.
Perhaps in two days, the last resisters in this city will die of hunger, disease and injuries. If no miracle happens, they can only die of despair after fighting hard.
That was a really painful way to die.
