Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 207 Split the City
Nohill clearly understood why they came here through Luft's memory.

'There is currently an entire legion of devils existing in the entire city. The purpose of this entire legion of devils coming here is very simple. They are to maintain the "stability" of the entire city. '

'This kind of stability is in every sense, because of the invasion of the abyss demons, Zariel does not want the humans in the city to do anything to disturb her layout of the entire bloody battle in the abyss. Zariel's plan for this city The only hope of the human beings is that they can stay safely until the bloody battle is over, and then quietly wait for the entire city to sink into the River Styx, and all humans to transform into lemures and join the big family of hell. '

'But at the same time, Zarrell hopes to see some unique human beings. In an entire city, there must be some human souls that are more valuable than ordinary people. In other words, they have Some kind of specialty, and Zariel needed such capable humans, so he sent an entire legion here to maintain order and at the same time capture those truly strong men for her, and find ways to actively corrupt them. '

'And stability in another sense. '

Nohir put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and then looked to the west. At this time, almost 1/3 of the buildings in the entire city had collapsed. Originally, Nohir thought that the collapse of the buildings and the occasional earthquake were caused by Because of the bolide falling from the sky or the lightning released by the sun, but in fact they are neither.

The reason why the entire city is currently experiencing intermittent earthquakes is entirely because the entire Eltoril has been torn in half! Yes, now the entire city under Nohir's feet has actually been completely torn apart! After all, teleporting an entire city to hell is a miracle, and such a large teleportation is impossible without some additional damage.

When Banyang teleported Eltoril to hell, the city's foundation could not withstand such drastic changes. The broad river in the middle of the city, which was originally taken from the Jonsa River, drained away, and the city itself became even more unstable. It was bounded by the river bed in the middle, and it split into two halves after being transported to hell.

The city is now divided into two areas: east and west. The two boulders floating in the sky are not far apart because of the chains. But precisely because of the chains, the occasional collision between them will produce huge earthquakes. This is why so many buildings in the city have collapsed.

'Another level of stability means that Zariel does not want these mortals to die too much due to the earthquake before sinking into the River Styx. After all, if these dead souls have not committed too many sins during their lifetime, even if they are already in Hell, its soul will also be pulled away by Kelanvor, the god of death, and after being divided, it will be sent to the place where the soul really should go. '

'But to a certain extent, the appearance of the devils actually stabilized Eltoril in disguise. Because of Zariel's order, they would not actively harm human civilians, but would only capture them and then try to lure them. They are depraved and will actively attack the demons that invade the city. Although the pain they have caused to the city cannot be ignored, for this period of time, the positive significance they can play far outweighs the negative significance. '

"Other demons are scattered throughout the city. In addition to their duty to capture humans, these demons also have the obligation to prevent certain flying demons from bypassing the large army of demons and coming to the city to plunder their "property".'

Nohir scratched the bald head of the Chain Demon Queen with some distress, but then his thoughts moved and he began to think about the current strange situation.

'Tsk, what a complicated situation. '

'Only when they are alive and sink into the River Styx together with the city, can the perseverance creed bind their souls, because at that time the city has been merged into hell, and they did not do anything for it before the city sank into the River Styx. The city died in battle, so after falling into the River Styx with the city, they will be automatically transformed into devils, and from then on they will firmly guard Hell, just like they guard Eltoril. '

'After completing all this, the entire legion of devils did not go down, but began to hunt freely throughout the city, while restraining Eltoril's Hell Knights and the City Guard. Now both The large forces are facing each other on the west side of the city, near the Supreme Hall. "

'So the devils from this legion came up to act as firefighters. They urgently set up teleportation coordinates between the two cities, and then teleported two pairs of giant iron piles through Banyang, which were fixed opposite each other through iron piles and chains. Living in two cities, they are not allowed to float too close to prevent violent friction between the two cities, and they are not allowed to float too far away to prevent the two cities from violently colliding. '

'This also means that the current situation in the city is not as urgent as I imagined. People's life safety is not secure in some aspects, but this is destined to not be a long-term solution. Once the bloody battle is over. Even if it ends temporarily, it can be declared the beginning of the city's destruction. '

'We must find a way to break the current situation. '

Nohill strengthened his mind, then sat there with a frown on his face, trying hard to sort out the complicated and huge information in the devil's mind. He hoped to find a way to solve the problem in the devil's mind. No matter how profound the scholars on the main material plane claim to be about hell, they are still far behind any aborigine who has lived in hell for a relatively long time, and Luft undoubtedly meets this condition.

This devil has been living in hell for more than 400 years. From his memory, Nohir witnessed his climb up step by step from the lowest level of evil devil. This information gave him a better understanding of the current situation. The situation that happened in Eltoril, and even the entire hell [rules system] had a very clear impression.

-

Luft Hudel, whose race is a chain demon, belongs to the 69th legion [The Anglers] in the promotion sequence of hell. The specialty of this legion is large-scale group combat and the capture of various large hells. A fierce beast whose personal military rank is Flag Officer.

He was born in hell more than 400 years ago. At that time, the first level of the nine hells, Avernus was still ruled by Grand Duke Bair. Different from the 100 years when Zariel was in power, in Zariel, During the days when Riel came to power, the entire Avernus has undergone earth-shaking changes. His experience can more intuitively reflect the past and present of Avernus.

During the period when Grand Duke Bayer was in power, it was also the period when Luft struggled to climb up from hell. The overall plan of hell to fight against the invasion of abyss demons was far less intense and radical than it is now, and Luft Ford has experienced these two periods of rule with different styles, and has successfully survived to the present amid such major power changes.

In his memory, Bair was a far-sighted strategist. He made strategic moves through various fortresses and used conspiracy and terrain to disperse the size of the demon tide. He revealed this throughout his entire campaign against the abyss demons. To ensure safety, in order to convey his orders more effectively, he divided all combat-effective elite devils into a total of 150 elite legions.

Each legion is composed of 1000 devils of various types. The devil types and configurations among the legions have different types and legion code names due to different responsibilities between the legions, but the command system is the same.

Each legion has a legion envoy (legion commander) of the highest power class to convey the Duke's orders, and there are several lower-level command systems that gradually progress, specifically.

1 legion = 10 brigades. The legion is commanded by a legion envoy (legion commander).

1 brigade = 10 squads, the brigade is commanded by a flag officer.

1 squad = 10 devils, and the squad is commanded by an adjutant.

In other words, an entire formally established elite devil army has one legion commander, 1 flag officers and 10 adjutants. Under such a plan, the entire hell is like a huge and precise machine, with each gear among them. Time runs in an orderly manner, wiping out all the invading demons on the bloody battlefield of Avernus.

At the same time, to replenish the number of demons in the legion, Bayer did not just rely on the devil eggs emerging from the River Styx in Avernus. He chose to form alliances with the grand dukes of other levels of hell, and actively collected food from other levels of hell. Recruit elite devil warriors to ensure that the legion's combat effectiveness never declines.

This is how Luft came about. He was first born in the second level of the Nine Hells [Dis], and then after a hundred years of training in the fifth level of hell [Stygia] where ice and blizzards shrouded everything, he thought Luft, who was qualified to participate in the bloody battle, came to Avernus through the tributaries of the River Styx and officially joined the devil's front line against the abyss demons.

However, 100 years ago, Asmodeus, the Lord of the Nine Hells, was dissatisfied with Bair's efficiency in killing enemies (at least that's what he announced), and believed that his strategy was too cautious, allowing demons to continue to rage in Avernus. He was deprived of his right to rule on the grounds that he was on the plains.
