Chapter 263: Let’s Get Some Explosives
Let’s stop here for the time being with the research on the soul gems. In addition to running out of materials for experiments, he now has more important tasks waiting for him to do. .
Nohir opened the door and looked at the three devils who were still standing guard. Almost ten minutes had passed since they left the ordnance accumulation area.
Before, the hunter demon ordered the remaining legions to reorganize their weapons and gather the remaining troops, and only gave them ten minutes. Now the ten minutes have long passed, but Nohir did not I don’t want to go back now.
One is because even with the devil's strict discipline, they cannot complete all the ordnance preparations in just ten minutes. The other is because after they have completely prepared the ordnance, to be more precise, , before stacking all the gunpowder and explosive barrels that propelled the cannon, Nohill didn't want to rush back.
Yes, gunpowder, this is his plan. By piling up all the gunpowder in the weapons gathering place, and then through the legion commander's order, all the devils can transport these dangerous explosives in an orderly manner, and then suddenly attack them, all at once. Set off all the explosives for a classic Baldur's Gate 3-style explosive attack! The plan was perfect.
Even though the devils are extremely resistant to fire damage, the force field damage caused by the gunpowder explosion is definitely enough to give the remaining devils a good meal. If it works properly, as long as It might take just this one attack to kill all the remaining devils on the spot!
However, the explosives and various items have not been piled in the appropriate locations yet, and it will take some time for the demons sent out to besiege the human stronghold to be completely withdrawn. The number of demons here is not complete now. Not a good time to act.
Nohill estimates that it will take at least 20 more minutes for the devils to fully prepare all the ordnance, and it will also take a long time for the devils who have been surrounding the city to withdraw. In fact, He had begun to wonder if these demons could come back.
The other members of the team started taking action at the same time as him. They had broken into the devil's enemy formation more than ten minutes ago. With their participation on the battlefield, the devils who participated in the siege would not be so easy. If you retreat here, you will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it will take a long time to gather the remaining troops.
Nohill's participation was not needed at all during this period, so he didn't want to go back, but he then thought about it, if the losses of the demons who were withdrawn were too serious, would it directly lead to the collective loss of control of those wise lieutenants?
Nohill thinks it is very possible. After all, devils in hell cannot be resurrected after death. Under such conditions, all devils cherish their lives very much. If these wise devils judge At present, the remaining strength is no longer enough to continue to survive here. It is uncertain what kind of dissatisfaction these two or five young people will have.
In this case, there must be a devil who can control the situation in the ordnance storage place. Someone must stabilize the situation to prevent the wise devil lieutenants from mutiny.
Nohir scratched his chin when he thought of this, and then directly gave the order to the hunter demons, asking him to supervise the demons to prepare their weapons and gather the remaining troops.
Lucier, as the former commander of the 69th Army, although his authority has declined to a certain extent now, he still has enough ability to control the situation here. In addition to controlling the situation and controlling the situation , Nohir also gave him a fatal order, that is, to ensure that no flying devil escapes from this place. Nohill had already known from the hunter's mind when negotiating with Lucier that there were probably spies planted by other forces in his own legion. After learning the news, Nohill immediately passed the crown's The ability to steal thoughts began to spy on the thinking fluctuations of all devils, hoping to see if it was true that as Lucier said, there were really traitors in his legion who were detected from other places.
The interesting result is that Nohir actually found two legion spies from different places. One of these two spies is from [Dis], and his body is a Thorn Demon, the second level of hell. A devil spy used to monitor Zariel's legions, and the other devil is directly derived from Zariel's intelligence agency. This little devil usually serves as a letter courier, but his true identity is specifically for A monitor who comes to confirm whether there are any signs of rebellion in the legion under his command.
Due to the previous orders of the Hunting Demon, these two demons did not choose to leave here at this time. According to Nohill's current induction, they still stayed at the ordnance storage place without moving, but if they still didn't When people go back to manage those devils, Nohir can guarantee that it won't be long before they find an opportunity to pass on the information about what happened here to their respective masters.
After receiving the order, the hunter nodded to Nohir, then switched to a self-defense mode that had a certain independent personality but completely obeyed Nohir's orders, and left here directly.
Nohir looked at the stalking demons leaving. His thoughts could not help but shift to the time when he first came to this armory. At that time, after his detection thought sensed the thoughts of the two spies, The devil from the second level of hell had no reaction, but was a little surprised that half of the entire legion was already dead before they knew it.
But the other devil spy from Zariel's side was different. When he heard Tavis say that he was the prosecutor sent by Zariel, the little devil was directly blinded because he did not receive any information at all. There will be information about the arrival of the prosecutor.
But what’s interesting is that although this sudden accident caught the little spy a little off guard, he quickly made an excuse for this sudden situation in his heart.
Just like the previously uncontrolled hunter, this little devil also suspected that a spy informed the prosecutor of what happened in the other half of the city, although he had no idea about the members of the 69th Legion before this. There is also a colleague of his, but I am afraid there is no other possibility other than this explanation. In fact, if you think about it, how can he be the only one to do such an important thing?
The little devil thought so.
And for this reason, he had no intention of following the original plan and notifying his immediate superior, Lord Haruman, through a specific emergency contact method. After all, in his opinion Even the prosecutor is here, which means that Lord Haruman has already known this information and has already sent out countermeasures. If he tries to do it after the fact at this time, isn't it just highlighting his incompetence?
