Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 233 Siege
Nohill: "I would rather believe that there is something than nothing, so let's stick to the old method. I will go find out the situation. If the Supreme Hall is really surrounded by water, we will think of other ways. If there is a chance, I will also Will come back and let you know.”

Scar frowned and asked very worriedly.

"There are too many demons this time. Are you really confident? What if you are discovered when you investigate too deeply?"

Nohir shook his head and said confidently.

"Don't worry, I'm sure, I have unknown sneaking skills."

Even though Nohill said this, everyone's eyes were still worried. Although Nohill had proven his infiltration skills and ability to obtain intelligence before, he was not like a barbarian, which made them stunned, but this time it was different.

There are too many enemies. Even among the people present, no one is confident that they can escape from the siege of so many enemies.

Nohir saw everyone's worries, and in order to dispel their concerns, he continued.

"Don't forget those magic potions. I also have a few bottles of invisibility potions. With this, you don't have to worry."

Advisor Florrick shook his head and said in denial.

Geluo was a little envious.

"In addition to being invisible, my appearance is also a huge advantage. Don't worry, it's no problem. Even if I am seen, I can still pretend to be one of them with the information I obtained. Plus, there are no powerful people in the Devil Legion. As a flying unit, even if I am discovered, I can fly away directly.”

Everyone sighed one after another.

"There are many demons who can naturally see through invisibility, but being invisible is not safe. At least that hunter demon has real vision. You absolutely cannot hide in front of him."

"It's such a convenient ability. Gro wants to be able to fly all the time."

"Squeak (squeak of approval)."

"It's crazy behavior."

Nohill has said so. Even if everyone is worried, there is nothing they can do. They actually believe in Nohill's ability. He has shown extraordinary reliability in combat and other aspects before, but this time he has to Sneaking into more than 600 devils alone to gather information is really outrageous.

“In everything you do, your own safety comes first, so be careful.”

Because Grou had briefly experienced the feeling of flying before, he showed full envy for Nohir's natural wings, while Minsk smiled heroically.

Nohir thought again.

"Ha, I knew that Nohir was always the bravest! Right Xiaobu."

The risks faced by being mixed with so many devils are by no means as understated as Nohill said. This is why everyone is so worried. Although the current means of interrogation exist, there is a risk of being eavesdropped, and there is no one among them. As a professional thief, the job of gathering information can only be left to Nohill.

The consultant sent the most sincere blessings on behalf of everyone. Nohill can be said to have contributed the most during this trip to hell. He has completed the most difficult tasks. Nohill has used his own actions to In exchange for the respect of all the team members, although he has a devil-like face and shape, in their eyes, this face and appearance can no longer measure his character.

"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."

Nohir said confidently, then broke away from the team, ran towards the Supreme Hall, and started his solo performance. After getting out of everyone's sight, he immediately put away all the equipment on his body, leaving only his gloves and crown, and then immediately transformed into a Thorn Demon. At the same time, he also took out a set of special equipment for the Thorn Demon from the space box. Forged standard weapons and armor.

The disguise brought about by the crown is so seamless that it is almost impossible to see through it in a physical sense. Now Nohir is a real devil from a physical level, and even the equipment on his body is the same as that of a devil.

The same applies to the gloves and the crown. When he transformed into a devil, these two pieces of equipment also transformed with him. Except for some differences in details, such as the three gems on the crown and the golden patterns on the gloves, these two pieces of equipment also transformed with him. The general appearance of this piece of equipment is completely the same as that of standard equipment.

However, these details are not a big deal. As long as I pretend to have a little status, this slight change in equipment will have no impact at all.

Nohir, who was completely disguised as a Thorn Demon, kept the crown's thought detection range within five meters. This range can bring out the maximum effectiveness of the crown, and there is no need to worry about accidentally encountering some particularly powerful devils and detecting his thoughts. detection.

After thorough preparations were completed, Nohir, disguised as an adjutant-level devil, ran toward the Supreme Hall in a swagger. Devils of this level had a certain status and were not too eye-catching, making them very suitable for sneaking in.

-

The High Hall, a majestic, snow-white marble castle dedicated to Torm, the god of courage and sacrifice, stands tall and houses a large number of Eltoril's religious and political leaders - at least in this city. This is the case when you are still in the main material plane.

But soon after Eltoril was drawn into Avernus, a meteor crashed through the High Hall, destroying the offices and residences of those best able to organize the city's defenses.

Most of Eltoril's leaders were killed by the meteor, but Grand Duke Ravengarde of Baldur's Gate and his followers were lucky enough to survive the destruction because they were on the periphery.

Ravengarde witnessed this tragedy, including the world turning upside down. He immediately tried to control the situation after the entire city fell into hell. Relying on his strong personality, he immediately commanded the remaining troops of Eltoril. , and developed a plan to protect the city.

Ravengarde had done his best. After the whole city fell into hell, he gathered the survivors as soon as possible and organized an army to resist the invading demons. However, at that time, the abyss demons had not yet invaded the Nine Hells, and a large number of demon legions Teleporting into the city with the light of hellfire.

The Hell Knights fought bravely, but there were too many enemies, too powerful, and too sudden. They could not save the eastern part of the city. In the first two days, they could barely mount resistance in the western part. The Duke Even on the first day, they gathered troops and rushed to the eastern half of the city to join the city garrison there, and then withdrew to the west with a large number of surviving personnel. However, after that, in just the second day, they were directly lost. Control of 80% of the entire city.

All the city survivors rescued by the Duke have settled in the Hell Knight barracks behind the High Hall Castle. This may be the safest and strongest building left in Eltoril. Not only does it have city walls and bunkers, Below the military camp is an underground area with an amazing area, enough to accommodate more than 5000 people.

At that time, most civilians stayed in the underground area, while those warriors who were able to fight stayed in the city walls and bunkers above, relying on the defense measures within the military camp itself, and those who did not want to escape, so they joined the army and continued to fight bravely. People, they withstood the first few days and withstood the most violent offensive of the devil army.

But it also paid a heavy price.

Nowadays, most of the demon legions have withdrawn from the city for reasons that they are not yet aware of. Now there is only one devil legion outside the city wall, but they have no power to resist.

Many people died and many were injured.

So much so that a dissatisfied demon army could completely block them.

They are now short of water and food, and are in danger. Despair has almost enveloped everyone.

Maybe in two days, the last resisters in this city will die of hunger, disease and injuries. If no miracle happens, they can only die of despair after fighting hard.

That was a really painful way to die.
