Chapter 525 Attack
With so many people gathered in one place, Nohir couldn't guess what they were doing for the time being, but since the real owner has not left this place, let's put this problem aside for the time being. After all, in addition to Gotash, Xie Nian, and this group of cults, there seemed to be some unlucky people who didn't belong to either of them.
Relying on the intuitive senses of Kanoroth Demon, Nohir felt the life response of a humanoid creature not far away. When the cultists all gathered together, they didn’t know what they were doing. At that moment, this unknown object occupying a separate area became too conspicuous in Nohill's eyes.
‘Could it be an unrelated person? In this kind of place. '
The thought flashed through Nohir and others' minds. This place is the highest-security safe house currently maintained by Gotash. Generally speaking, a safe house like this is absolutely not safe. Will be open to any customer except your own.
But considering that this place was originally used as a prison by Gotash, and it hosted many unlucky people in the original timeline, this possibility cannot be said to be completely impossible.
'Let's go take a look first. Regardless of whether that person is an unlucky guy who is locked up here, or a cult member who has other purposes, or even a mission, such an unexpected target is worth checking out first. . '
With this idea, Nohir quickly took action. The Iron Throne is a deep sea area at least 800 meters away from the sea level, which means that the environment here is very It was dark. Except for some magic lanterns distributed in the corridor, there was no additional light in this place. In such a dim environment, Nohir was able to rely on the special ability of the evil toad demon to reduce his own presence to the lowest level. lowest, thus moving forward quickly and quietly.
In this way, Nohill quickly found the solitary man, and at the first sight of him, Nohill recognized who the unlucky guy was.
‘It’s you, Red Hammer. ’
Red Hammer, Race: Dwarf, Name: Unknown, Occupation: Inventor, his greatest invention is the giant brass submersible currently docked next to the Iron Throne, and that big guy is also Nohir, and he is still interested in it. One of the reasons why this guy has an impression, and the other reason is what this guy did.
In the original plot, Red Hammer was dissatisfied with Gortash using his invention to transport prisoners to the Iron Throne, so when the protagonist group found him, he chose to betray Gortash and go alone. He drove the giant submarine and led the protagonist group into the Iron Throne. After successfully rescuing everyone, he drove the submersible and led everyone to evacuate safely.
Such behavior has shown that Red Hammer’s character is not actually bad. After all, he is just an inventor. He does not intend to use his inventions to do bad things, but he does not have the ability to make the decision. His inventions can only help the tiger, but when the opportunity to resist comes, Red Hammer does not lack the courage to make changes.
Because of this, Nohill's impression of this guy is quite profound, but the real reason why Nohill has not forgotten this guy until now is actually the unlucky guy later. ending.
In the original plot, the giant submarine he invented caused oil pollution to the coastline of Baldur's Gate, which caused the formal sect of Baldur's Gate, the Mother of Waves, Umberlee, to anger.
After Red Hammer made atonement for his sins and sent all the family members of the Gond believers back to the land, and was about to retire, the priests and believers of the Mother of Waves suddenly appeared and took the guy away directly. He threw it into the sea.
This ending is undoubtedly quite a reversal, and Nohill has completely remembered this unlucky guy because of this. In terms of his current situation, Red Hammer's luck is as bad as ever.
Nohill did not choose to show up, because he did not want to do anything that might expose himself at this time, so he hid directly outside the cell, and then borrowed the telepathic ability of the Kanoroth Demon , he learned what happened in his mind.
To sum up his experience in one sentence, it is more or less that he was first tricked into boarding a pirate ship and brought Gotash and others here. However, when he wanted to return, he was tricked by other evil spirits. The believers stopped me and I couldn't go back at all.
Red Hammer did not want to accept such an arrangement, so he went down to complain to Gotash. As a result, he was put under house arrest without even finishing his words, because they still needed Red Hammer for daily operations and maintenance. Submarine, so they didn't abuse him too much, but Red Hammer knew that sooner or later he would be useless.
Because Gotash is also a genius in machines. The day he completely learns the craftsmanship of the red hammer, his death will not be far away, and his recent experience has verified his idea.
Because the location of the Iron Throne is too remote, the resources in this place are insufficient. Especially in recent times, the food stored here can only provide the cultists with one meal a day, which has gradually been lost. The red hammer that worked was even cut off from food.
Before Nohir found him, he had been hungry for three days and had passed out from complete hunger. However, this would also make it easier for Nohir to operate. When no one was around, Nohir quickly placed a set of teleportation beacons on Red Hammer. With this set of beacons, Red Hammer could teleport away before he triggered a battle and caused this place to become completely chaotic.
——
After arranging the Red Hammer, Nohir quietly came outside the room where Gotash and the others gathered. Because the distance was close enough, Ka Noros Demon's intuitive senses have been able to clearly show a real-time picture in Nohir's mind.
After seeing the postures in the room, Nohir almost understood what they were doing. They were mobilizing before the war and giving speeches to boost morale. For the current Baner and Baal sects, such behavior is actually quite It is necessary.
After all, cultists are not fools. Even if they have deep faith, they cannot deny their failures during this period. The base camp was lost and most of the believers were either separated or defeated. For the believers of these two sects, now It was a critical moment of life and death, and Gotash's plan meant their last resort.
If even this plan fails, it means that everyone present will face the most tragic death, and after their bodies disappear, their souls will also be in the kingdom of the two evil gods. , ushering in a miserable torment that they don’t know how long it will last, but it is destined to be extremely tragic, because they have disappointed God.
The cultists now gathered in this underwater building are already the largest remaining group of men of the two evil gods in the Northland. If even these men are to die, what will happen to Bane and Bane? According to Barr, unless their faith spreads again in the North, they will completely lose their influence over the North for at least the next ten years.
For gods whose faith is power, such a blow is enough to be called a crippling injury. However, for these two people who have only been resurrected recently, their strength has not been fully restored. For the unlucky ones, if this matter is not handled well, it may even cause them to die again. After all, these two enemies in the God Realm are quite a lot. If they really show signs of decline, then there will definitely be gods who want to beat up the lost dog and take the opportunity to get involved. Because of this, these two gods have been fighting in recent times. , it is very likely that they have been paying close attention to every move of these two divine choices.
Considering that Raphael could be forced back so easily, and that Nohill himself felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, the word "maybe" can be removed, and this also means Once Nohir takes action, he must be absolutely sure.
‘If I remember correctly, the abilities possessed by Xie Nian and Gotash are Baal’s Law of Death and Bane’s Hand of Darkness respectively. '
'Bane's Dark Hand is somewhat similar to my Unparalleled Iron Hand, but the actual threat level of this thing should be much stronger than the spell attached to my gloves. The actual strength should have reached If you exceed the scope of the nine-ring spell, it should cause me a little trouble, but it is not particularly dangerous. As long as you give me a little time, I can destroy all these things, but Baal's law death is different. '
'This ability can forcibly end the life of a creature with less than 150 health points, and this effect can ignore any form of saving throw, although the panel shows that my current health points have reached 483 points. , but as long as I suffer a fatal trauma that can reduce my health to less than 150 points, I will die completely at that moment, and it is meaningless even if my body has reached an otherworldly state. ’
Nohir thought about it and suddenly fell silent.
‘...Ah, there seems to be no need to worry about this. '
Nohir in the dream demon form scratched his head. Since he reached level 16 as a professional, mastered the ability of [Infinite Fury], and gained the new power of the Giant Path, he His strength and physique have become able to soar to the limit of mortals at will, that is, both strength and body have reached an outrageous level of 30 points.
Under such a state, Nohir's already abnormal health will be temporarily strengthened during the period of maintaining the rage. Take an adult five-color dragon, the strongest among them. As a reference, the average health point of an ancient-level red dragon is 546 points, while Nohir's health point at that time was 783.
This data has surpassed the ancient red dragon, and exceeded it by nearly half! Coupled with his own high resistance, whether it was physics or magic, Nohill could not think of anything that could severely damage him to that point in an instant, unless one of the two gods chose to die personally, But even if such an accident does happen, Nohir is still confident that he can evacuate safely.
But in terms of the best approach, of course, it is to eliminate this risk directly from the beginning. While Gotash is still talking endlessly, telling the remaining cultists about the beautiful vision after the success of the plan , Nohill also started his own actions.
In the first second, through the mental connection between the helmet and the controlled creature, Nohir instantly allowed Mizola, who was far away in the Dark Territory, to cast a teleportation spell and pull away the cage underneath the Iron Throne. red hammer.
At this time, standing next to Gotash, with his arms folded, leaning against the wall, waiting for the show to start, his brows suddenly wrinkled, as if he felt something was wrong.
The next second, Nohir, who was outside the room, took out a scroll, and then activated the scroll instantly. In an instant, everyone in the area felt an unparalleled solemnity. , as if the air had turned into a physical entity at that moment, and everyone felt the unspeakable heart palpitations.
Such a significant change instantly aroused everyone's vigilance, but human reaction speed is limited, and most people cannot adjust well at the moment of sudden attack. My own position allowed me to perfectly deal with the surprise attack that came from nowhere, and it was even more impossible for these tired cultists.
In this sudden turn of events, among everyone present, only Xie Nian, Gotash, and a few high-level church members responded fairly promptly.
Those high-level cultists who were still relatively strong took out their weapons in an instant and turned to face the door, ready to prepare.
Gortash instantly turned on his magic shield, and at the same time took out a heavy crossbow from the space equipment, and then quickly made a tactical roll, turning his figure Hidden behind a metal support column.
The evil thought instantly entered the invisible state, and then wanted to communicate with his father God Baal and pray for him to give him power. A magic circle representing death was spread out in this place, causing the ungrateful intruder to die instantly. But Xie Nian soon discovered that the communication of thoughts he sent out was like falling into the sea, with no feedback and no trace. It was obvious that that thing had cut off the connection between him and Father God.
Xie Nian immediately launched a backup plan, trying to get into the shadow plane so that he could wait for opportunities in another world, but he still failed.
But the evil thoughts were not affected by this double blow to his calm thinking. These two failures also made him understand what the strange feeling before was. It was space. That strangeness meant that this space had been completely locked. .
But why does the unknown enemy do this? What good would it do him to seal off the space here? In addition to making it impossible for all of us to leave here through magical means...
The evil thoughts that came to mind here suddenly froze, and an explanation that he subconsciously ignored, but now seemed to be the only explanation, quickly appeared in his mind in mind.
‘That guy... wants to annihilate us! ’
Yes, only in this way can we explain why that guy did this, because only in this way can we not let everyone here go.
Without the magical means of teleportation, they can only leave here through the submarine docked outside. But before taking the submarine, they must deal with the infiltrator in advance, otherwise the guy will never let them leave here safely. .
