Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 234 Defending the City
Nohill ran in that direction at a constant speed. Thanks to the experience of living in this city for a period of time, he could recognize most of the roads even without Scar leading the team, and the scenery he saw along the way was It is also different from the eastern half of the city.

There were almost no corpses on the streets of Chengshi in the eastern half of the city, but in the western half of the city, mutilated dead bodies could be seen almost every few hundred meters.

There are humans and demons among these corpses, but most of them are humans. No one has collected the corpses, so they are just dumped on the street casually. The devils are not worried about the diseases that may be caused by the rotting corpses. First, Because their bodies are strong enough to make them immune to most injuries, and secondly, because just these corpses cannot keep up with the intensity of daily battles in hell.

In hell, unless you want to eat their flesh, no one will deal with the defeated dead. The environment of hell itself will cause them to rot, decompose and digest quickly, but at this altitude of 10,000 meters, these corpses But it doesn't die that fast. If it's not dealt with in time, a huge plague will probably break out in this city soon. Those devils may be fine, but for the humans who are still surviving in the city, this is the real deal. A natural disaster.

'One more reason to kill these devils. '

Nohill, who was running in hell, thought so, but to achieve this, their current strength alone was not enough, and these corpses also made Nohill realize that the city's own guard force might have been attacked. Severe damage may even lead to loss of the ability to organize a counterattack.

If the situation is really that bad, then Nohill will have to use some unconventional means.

Although every member of Nohill's current team has their own strengths and unique skills, once they face the well-established Devil Legion, let alone them, even the legendary Ranger Minsk and the Archmage Fu None of Lorrick's advisors combined were confident that they could be defeated.

Not to mention that if you want to achieve a tactical victory, you must destroy all of them to prevent these devils from passing the information to other legions.

It is almost impossible to do this, and if they really start a war with these devils casually, they can only gain a slight upper hand at the beginning of the confrontation, and then it is obvious that the group of people will definitely They will be in a stalemate in the battle with the legion. The devils will rely on the legion's battle formation to surround them. In this state, the entire team will have a very high possibility of attrition, or even the team may be wiped out.

But Nohill is different.

His unique skills can play a role far beyond ordinary people on the battlefield. By stimulating the wild beast soul attached to his body through the magic of chaos, Nohir can instantly transform into a flexible, powerful, ferocious and ferocious siege beast.

In [Beast Form], he can definitely exert a lethality on the battlefield that is comparable to a swarm charge of the organized Steel Guards. In that state, he can easily defeat most ordinary devils, and the rest of the team can You can take this opportunity to attack those demons with flying abilities to achieve a tactical victory.

Now Nohir has already accumulated sufficient Chaos Magic Power. He can transform into this form three times during this journey to hell. Such a secret weapon can definitely bring unexpected surprises to these devils!

Of course, this kind of ability that can save lives at critical moments and has a limited number of uses does not actually want to be used casually. Firstly, it is difficult to explain, and secondly, because this ability itself is a trump card, unless it is really necessary. It takes this kind of power to break the situation.

As Nohir's mind turned, he had already approached the area of ​​the Supreme Hall, and at this moment, the increased perception of the Crown of Control and the devil's sensitive ears instantly captured some noisy sounds, which were the sounds of battle. The roar of artillery and the clash of weapons were mixed with the roar of wild beasts and the roar of a thick and brutal voice.

The voice was yelling and commanding madly in Purgatory language. Nohir slowly approached the battlefield under the cover of the city's ruined buildings, and then silently looked at the specific situation in the distance. This is the High Hall of Eltoril, the administrative center of an entire country. This originally five-story gorgeous castle made of pale bricks and stones has now become dilapidated. The first half of the wall surrounding the castle has completely collapsed, and the fire And thick smoke continued to come from the castle, which had collapsed 2/3.

'The High Hall has been destroyed! '

Nohir was shocked when he saw this scene. He originally thought that the Hell Knights would rely on the walls of the hall to resist the demon army, but now it seems that the hall has long been lost, and even the castle has been destroyed.

'This appearance should be caused by the nine-ring spell [Meteor Explosion]. This situation is consistent with the impression I have of this spell in my memory. This destructive power... Maybe the top figures in this city who can organize resistance have already been here. By the time the meteorite hit him, he would have been almost dead. '

This speculation instantly caused a layer of haze to envelope him, but the sound of fighting in the distance quickly brought his unstable thoughts back to the original place.

'No, it has been more than ten days since the city fell into hell. Under such circumstances, if the resisters do not have a strong enough leader to unify them, even if they are Hell Knights, they will never be able to hold on for long. Those fighting sounds are proof! Someone is leading the remaining Hell Knights to fight! Who is that person? Could it be the Grand Duke of Ravengard? '

Nohir didn't know, so he immediately ran towards the Supreme Hall after coming out of the ruins.

There is currently no devil guarding the main entrance of the hall. There is a vast open space outside the collapsed city wall, and there is also a quite wide open space between the inside of the city wall and the ruined castle, but Nohill did not look at this position. I didn't notice any devils. All the devils were behind the castle, and almost all of them were on the move.

'What are they attacking? '

Nohir lurked from the shadows on the left side of the castle.

Nohir hid behind a huge piece of rubble. He finally saw the frontal battlefield. He didn't expect that there was such a large-scale fortress behind the castle.

He saw many heavily armed knights, relying on the city wall, constantly shooting the thorn demons flying in the sky with their bows and arrows, and the ballistae on the city wall did not stop for a moment.

These war machines kept attacking, trying to prevent the Devil Legion from approaching, because the gate of this fortress had been broken by some kind of creature. If they were not prevented from approaching, the fortress would be lost in minutes.
