Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 204 Demon
"Strange, why are there so many demons in the city? The fighting below is so fierce, shouldn't they focus their main attention on those demons? Why are there still demons wandering in the city?"

During the previous exploration process, Nohir relied on his ability to fly and teleport to be on the edge of the city. He specially took off and observed Avernus below for a while, wanting to see what hell really looked like. appearance.

Then he saw the eight huge chains on the edge of the city and the huge hinges under each chain. The devils built magnificent fortresses around those winches.

On the plains paved with barren rocks and bones, a legion of thousands of hedgehog demons and bearded demons formed in formation to fight against the waves of demons that were constantly attacking from the distant plains. Most of them were original demons, cowardly demons. There are demons, humanoid Brazu demons with goat horns, and a small number of gorilla-like Bagula demons.

In mid-air, the flying troops composed of thorn demons and little devils stopped the vulture-like vulture demons, preventing these demons from having any chance to fly into Eltoril.

The devils are trying their best to protect their property. The two sides are crushing each other like millstones. The devils' slings continue to throw huge flints, grinding out bloody channels in the demonic tide, but no devil retreats. One step, and even though the devils were well-trained, backed by the fortress, and had a large amount of city defense supplies, they began to suffer a steady stream of damage under such a desperate offensive.

Such a fierce scene was only a small battlefield that Nohir saw. Farther away, the demons roared in like a tsunami. Some small defense sites would be submerged almost instantly. In this level of war, , any party will definitely invest all its troops in it, so Nohir is wondering, why are there so many devils gathering in the city?
Nohir didn't know, but as long as the demons below could still block the torrent of demons and prevent them from flying to the city, then he didn't care about other problems.

Nohill put away the marked map and said hello to Scar who was on guard in the corner. They explored here for about ten minutes and found the specific locations of all the devils in the entire street nearby. They have found everything, and it is initially deduced that the threat here is minimal. Now they can go back to discuss the next step, and then leave here with others.

"It's time to go back, Scar."

"……Um."

"Your face doesn't look right. Are you uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No, I'm fine, but I'm very uneasy, Nohir. We've been searching here for more than ten minutes, but I haven't seen a single living person on this entire street."

When Nohir heard this, his eyes froze for a moment. Indeed, except for some human corpses that were killed by collapsed buildings, they did not see any living human beings. So where were all the human beings in the city? Already? Hiding? Or have they all been caught by these devils?
Nohill is more inclined to the former. The current devils obviously don’t have time to gather an entire city of humans. Maybe they are all hiding from the devils wandering in the streets in their basements, or they are being gathered and led by the city guards and Hell Knights. Arrive at the High Hall.

If you are taken to the Supreme Hall, it means safety. After all, the Supreme Hall of each city is equivalent to a small fortress and protected by thick walls. It is the last and most tenacious place of resistance in every city, and if He was still hiding in the basement of the house, so there was no need to worry too much for the time being.

"Don't worry about this, Scar, they are probably hiding. After all, it is not safe in the city now, and the citizens will definitely not come out unless they can."

"You don't have to worry about what they will do if they hide in the house without food or water. After all, Eltoril is a large city with abundant resources. The food reserves in this city should be able to satisfy the people who are still alive for at least several months. life-sustaining needs.”

What Nohill said was not a lie to comfort Scar. For those who can live in the city and own real estate, every Faerûnian has enough food stored in their basement. common sense.

After all, there are constant natural and man-made disasters in this ghost place. If you don’t stock up on food and water with a long enough shelf life, you will definitely not be able to survive any accident. In this environment, people all over the world have developed the habit of stocking up on food and water. Good food habits, and looking at the current situation, isn't the preparation in the past used?

Of course, Nohill cannot guarantee that every household has enough reserves, but at least most people should be fine. After all, in the plot of the original work, although a lot of people died in the city, they still Many people still survived. Moreover, in the original plot, several months had passed when they returned to the main material plane, but now it has only been about half a month since the city fell. It is possible to keep so many people alive. It will take several months to not be able to survive this short period of time.

"You're right, I seem to be confused if I care a little bit,... let's go back."

Nohill saw that Scar was still a little worried, but he forced himself not to think too much. He didn't want this worry to affect his actions, so the two immediately prepared to set off to return.

Their current location is at the end of Knight's Avenue. They want to return to the area where they first arrived, and then call others to leave the area together.

However, before the two of them had gone far, Nohill suddenly noticed something rushing into his 500-meter perception circle from the sky. He immediately raised his head and looked to the upper right, where he saw a huge bird that resembled a human vulture. Luo Mo had already discovered the two of them and launched a diving attack on them!
"Be careful above! Get out of the way!"

"Ow!!!!"

The vromon opened its beak that was still dripping with blood, and then let out a shrill and terrifying scream. The invisible sound wave instantly plowed a gray line on the dilapidated street, but it did not hit it. Nohir and Ska were able to dodge in advance, but smoke and dust were raised to cover their whereabouts.

This made the vromon howl in dissatisfaction, and then spread out its wide wings and flapped them. The highly toxic spore cloud mixed with the strong wind whipped by the wings swept in, blowing away the smoke and dust, and also brought more A terrifying offensive!

But what made Flo Demon strange was that after the smoke dispersed, he saw no trace of the two humans. All that was left in the place were the pale green poisonous spores, which made him shake his head in confusion. The vulture's head then howled angrily.

"Look at this, you idiot!"

The two people who were hiding from the surrounding ruins suddenly rushed out of the pile of rocks. Ska, who was running in front, suddenly turned back to face Nohir. Then he suddenly squatted down and raised his shield into a slope shape with his shoulders. , and threw the warhammer in his left hand into the sky.

And Nohir immediately stepped on the shield, jumped up suddenly with his wings beating behind him, and Ska under his feet also exerted force at the same time. The superposition of the two forces made him jump to an altitude of more than ten meters in an instant, and then suddenly Swinging the activation rope in his left hand, he wrapped one end of the rope around the Record Page Hammer of Light and pulled it sharply. The length of the rope made up for the lack of attack distance, and the hammer also hit the person who had begun to dodge with the power of light. , but on the right wing of Flo Demon, who did not completely dodge.

The wings suffered such a violent attack that their original stable flying posture was disrupted. The big bird with a wingspan of 18 feet (six meters) screamed and turned around in an instant. Nohill immediately swung his wings in the air to adjust. In the flying position, he took off an ax from his waist with his right hand and threw it towards Flo Demon who was trying to fly again.

The flying ax accurately hit its body, which made his last effort fail. The hammer on the rope was released as early as the first attack, and fell below and was caught by Ska, while on the ground Tiska looked at the evil demon that fell in front of him and wanted to bite him. The shield in his right hand immediately slapped its face mercilessly, and then stepped on his neck with his right foot to firmly fix its body. Shape, the war hammer in his left hand was immediately raised high, and a three-ring Holy Slash hit its chest with all its strength, denting it, and this blow also completely killed it.

In just ten seconds, this large demon with a biological level of 14 died due to the cooperation of Nohill and Ska!
