Chapter 398 Convincing Allies
They are spiritual penetrators and devourers of thoughts. They can arbitrarily modify and deceive the perceptions and memories of other creatures, and they prefer to use tiny subconscious hints to subtly influence their dreams and prompt them to do so. To move the lives of those affected in a direction that is conducive to the mastermind's grand plan.
Even if you encounter a resister who is determined and able to ignore his subconscious suggestions, the mastermind can directly send out an overwhelming blast of psychic energy to destroy the spirit of the pretentious person and turn him into a A body that cannot think and is drooling.
With so many powerful enemies gathered together, even Nohill is not sure that he can defeat them all head-on.
To defeat such a powerful enemy, the only thing he can do is to unite all the forces that can be united under the same flag, such as Flame Fist, as he has done in the game before. Only in this way can the Harpers and Hell Knights win the final victory.

Nohir moved very quickly, or maybe it was because of the commotion that he found the person he was looking for without much effort.
So when the sky was just getting dark, everyone gathered in the partially restored supreme hall.
“…That’s pretty much it. Representatives, as well as Duke Ravengard, all the assassins who attacked Lord Nohir have been captured, and these messages have been verified. It’s OK Ensure its accuracy. Unfortunately, we have only just experienced a short period of stability, and the new enemy has already accumulated strength not far from our doorstep and is ready to go."
Priest Lu Xiuite faced Raven. The Grand Duke of Cadiz and the other two representatives said so. The three people who heard the news also frowned. Among these three people, the most distressed was the Grand Duke of Ravengard.
According to the available intelligence, the primary target of that group of cultists has been determined to be Baldur's Gate. He never expected that he would encounter such a thing at this time. It was obvious that he had just been unlucky enough to be swept into the Gate some time ago. He fell into hell, but not long after he came back, he encountered another bad news, and this time the incident was specifically targeted at Baldur's Gate!
"Benshaba must have looked at me several times during this period, so that I would encounter such unlucky things one after another."
Ravengard said as he spoke. While pressing the thumbs of both hands against each other, this gesture is imitating the holy symbol of the goddess of misfortune, in order to pray to this moody goddess to take away the bad luck.
Nohir on the side also raised his eyebrows. Now that he thinks about it carefully, what the Grand Duke said seems to be true. Whether it is the original history or the current history, his experience seems to be the same. Bad luck.
Either he has just entered the tiger's den, or he has entered the wolf's den again. The continuous occurrence of such unfortunate things is enough to be called unscientific. Even if the Grand Duke is really looked at by the goddess of misfortune a few times, he might not .
"This is indeed very difficult news, and it happens to happen at this time. The three gods of death want to cause trouble to the world at this time, but we don't have enough troops to stop them."
The noble representative, Marquis Fernando, said this, and what he said was indeed the truth.
After experiencing the previous hell war, Eltoril's Hell Knights, which once had more than 2,000 people, also suffered heavy losses. 500 elite paladins lost their lives in the initial battle. Nearly 300 people were killed, and more than half of the more than 1,500 elite knights were also killed in the battle. The remaining half were also injured, and some were even severely disabled.
Now these disabled Hell Knights have been honorably retired and have received the best treatment together with other injured soldiers. However, except for these retired soldiers, it still takes a long time for other ordinary soldiers to completely restore their combat effectiveness. short time. Originally, they still had 500 elite knights as reserves, but these surviving reserve hell knights left Eltoril a month ago, and they took on the responsibility of leading the surviving people to escape.
This is the right choice. None of the representatives present will blame them. Moreover, after hearing about Eltoril's return, many knights have begun to return to the Holy City. However, the journey to escape is long. It consumes even more energy. It is impossible to expect this group of strong reinforcements to come back in a short time. Without this group of viable forces as a supplement, Eltoril now has almost no power to fight.
“The existing knights can only barely guarantee the safety of citizens, but just for this reason, do we have to turn a blind eye to the threats that are so close at hand?”
As Alistair, the civilian representative paladin, immediately rejected Marquis Fernando's conservative statement, but Fernando's concerns did exist, and there were not no threats around Eltoril.
In fact, in the territory ruled by Eltoril, there has always been a land close to the land cursed by shadows, and there are often some shadows in that land cursed by the Dark Goddess. Shadow-cursed undead creatures ran out of it and attacked surrounding towns.
The existence of the Hell Knights is to deal with these undead creatures. Whenever an undead appears, the Hell Knights will ride their war horses to carefully inspect the areas where the undead creatures are found, and at the same time eliminate the source of danger, but with their With the current power, it is very difficult to even do this.
Even a three-year-old child knows that if danger is found around the home, it must be eliminated as soon as possible. Duke Fernando naturally understands this truth, but the real key is that their current strength really does not allow it. They do.
When both parties had their reasons, the two sides started to quarrel. However, Priest Lu Xiute, as the representative of the temple, did not know how to take sides at this time. He had never had contact with each other in his life before. The old priest who has experienced politics only thinks that both sides are very reasonable, but if he wants to choose one of them to support, it will be a bit difficult for him.
And at this moment.
"As a person who has personally experienced the suffering of this city, I understand your difficulties, but I still want to ask you to listen to me."
Ravengard interrupted the scene with words A farce, and then said very seriously to the people in front of him, and the three major representatives also temporarily stopped bickering, and all assumed a posture of listening.
"Based on the current intelligence, we can now be very sure that our opponent is the legendary chosen one of the three gods of death, and the chosen one of the three gods of death who have united."
The Grand Duke glanced very seriously again A circle of people.
“This is a quite terrifying concept. Every time the conspiracy of evil gods appears in history, it will be accompanied by serious casualties. The alliance between the three gods of death will probably cause unparalleled horrific consequences.”
“And this time they have also brought together the mind flayers, the most dangerous species in the main material plane, to stir up trouble, which means that the threats we may face in the future may be greater than we imagined. Much bigger, so I hope you can take a good look at it before making any decision. What serious consequences might it have if you ignore them?"
