Chapter 246 Question
The knights showed great kindness to Nohill after figuring out his true identity, and Nohill himself knew what was going on.
On the one hand, he has been on the watch list of the Hell Knights. All the official members of these knights know him, and his performance was very good during the period of investigation, and he has not committed any illegal crimes. thing.
On the other hand, he suddenly appeared here and helped them a lot. Not only did he save the Duke and the Master, but a group of brothers of these warriors also survived because of Nohir's help.
These performances secretly added a lot of impression points to Nohir. At least among these warriors, no one would hate Nohir because of his appearance.
Although Nohir wouldn't care even if these people really hated him because of his appearance, it would be best to avoid these troubles. Moreover, the devil outside is still preparing a conspiracy, and the danger they face is not the same. It has not been completely lifted, and under the current crisis-ridden conditions, it is almost impossible for any conventional links to appear.
Nohir followed the master and the duke into the interior of the fortress. Here, he saw hundreds of fully armed soldiers running around in the large campus, holding weapons in their hands. with all kinds of supplies.
Some of these materials were carried to the city wall, such as bow arrows, rolling logs and radium stones, while some were carried to the city gate, such as overlapping wooden horses and used as Sandbags for bunkers.
Now the city wall is piled with arrows specially designed for bed crossbows. Every warrior on the city wall is equipped with a variety of bows and arrows. Even if the devils have temporarily retreated, they have not relaxed their vigilance at all. There was a busy feeling inside the fortress.
The Duke waved to an unknown warrior, moved him to his side and gave him a few instructions. When the warrior nodded in response, the Duke patted him with relief. shoulder, and then turned around and came to Nohir and the master.
"It's been a long wait. I have already given some instructions to the adjutant. The soldiers will remain vigilant in our absence. We don't have to worry about those devils attacking or sneaking up again for the time being."
"Follow me. Well, let’s go down below to heal our wounds first, and then we’ll discuss what’s going on.”
Nohill and the master were all right, and they and some seriously injured soldiers followed the Duke. They arrived at a stone house in the middle of the camp, and then descended from the trap door in the middle of the house to the cellar below.
The distance from the ground to the cellar is not very far, but Nohill made an estimate during the process, and then he was surprised to find that the depth of the cellar was much deeper than he thought. They After walking along the slope for more than a minute, we finally reached the bottom level.
Nohir estimated that the rock formations above are at least more than 20 meters thick. Such a thick defense must have used the power of magic. It is no wonder that this is the only place in the city that can guarantee the survival of residents.
The Duke pushed open the cellar door, and as soon as the door opened, various human voices buzzed and exploded in the underground space. Nohir saw an extremely huge space and a large number of people. The survivors were all huddled under this cellar. They were piled in twos and threes, with pale faces. Only some scattered torches could illuminate their hopeless faces.
The food reserves here are running low. Everyone knows this very clearly. If Master Jahira hadn’t arrived and brought a lot of edible water and food, these people might have collapsed long ago. Well, it can be said that even just maintaining the current half-dead situation is not easy. The arrival of the Duke and the others did not cause much commotion. Firstly, it was because it was really dark here and most people could not see the Duke and the Master. Secondly, because it was not lunch time yet. At this time, even if the door was opened, It doesn't mean that there is food distributed, so their mood is naturally not high.
The Duke just sighed when he saw this scene. No one disturbed these desperate people too much, and passed quietly through the gaps between people.
The Duke first arranged for several more seriously injured warriors to go to the priest for treatment. The manpower to receive treatment also included the master. The arrow on her shoulder had to be pulled out, and she also needed to receive divine magic. treatment.
After the injuries of the master and the seriously injured soldiers were healed by magic, he took the soldiers whose injuries had improved to receive the relief supplies.
After helping them with good herbs, bandaging their wounds, and taking them to a fixed resting point, the Duke turned around and found the master who had also treated the wounds, and Nuo, who was accompanying her. Hill.
The Duke called the two of them and took them to a remote corner. He then opened a rather secret stone house here. Obviously, it was a secret council room. In a normal place, after the Duke waited for both of them to come in, he closed the door directly, isolating people's lamentations.
“It is relatively safe here, and some secret topics can be discussed at will. Nohill, brave warrior, I would like to express my gratitude to you again here, thank you for your heroic rescue, Thank you for everything you have done for us.”
The Duke bowed to Nohill, and Nohill also bowed slightly to return the courtesy. He accepted the Duke’s compliment, because this was. There is nothing that cannot be acknowledged.
After that, the Duke asked Nohill some questions, including how Nohill came suddenly at such a critical moment, and some other more suspicious things, but Nohill had not had time to answer these questions. , Master Jahila has already explained it in advance.
“Do you remember what I told you yesterday? Duke, the city you rule has finally sent out a team to rescue you, and now it seems that there is no doubt that Nohir is a member of this team. "
The Duke looked at Nohir with questioning eyes, and Nohir nodded with a smile, admitting the master's guess. At this time, the Duke was obviously relieved.
In fact, he had always had a certain degree of doubt about Nohill's sudden appearance before. When Nohill just appeared on the scene and slaughtered the devils besieging them with a strong attitude, the Duke only then Categorize Nohir into the friendly camp.
Now that the danger has passed, as the current temporary leader of the entire city, the life and death of thousands of people, or even all humans in the city, is in his hands, and his responsibility requires him to He wanted to find out what was going on with this teammate of unknown origin, and at this moment, the master took the lead and asked Nohill again.
