Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 255: Deceiving
"This is the bloody battle of the Abyss. Hell needs every ounce of power to be put where it should be. So you will live, Lucile Tratis Shorthan, but you must also accept the punishment, so I I hereby pronounce my judgment upon you.”

"You will be deprived of your identity as the commander of the 69th Legion. At the same time, until the resistance in this city is completely defeated, you must obey my direct orders and take my orders as the highest criterion without any violation. "

"...Is that all? Other than that?"

The hunter asked in disbelief. The question he asked was naturally about the downgrade of his body. The punishment in this regard was what he was most worried about. After all, although the official position could definitely give him rights, all devils knew , only strength is the most fundamental guarantee.

Lucier knew in his heart that although the inspector's judgment deprived him of his rights, as long as his form was not degraded and his strength and wisdom remained full and complete, he would one day get his rights again. Right, it is not even too late. It will take about 20 years for him to return to his current position. This is quite fast for the devil!

"Humph, I know what you mean, that's why I say you are lucky, Lucille. Now Lord Zarrell is directing the bloody battle on the front line. Lord Duke has no time to deal with you, a little legion commander, and he also has no power to I have ordered you to lower your rank, and you will temporarily retain your current form until the Lord has time to deal with you."

"...I understand. Thank you, Overseer. From now on, I will obey your command."

The hunter who had stood up at some point knelt down again, and this time he was kneeling sincerely, because in his opinion, as long as his life level was not reduced, any punishment for him would not count. It's too serious.

The prosecutor's verdict gave him an invisible way to survive. As long as he could completely obey this command in the next actions, as long as he could continue to maintain control of the city, that is, to safeguard the interests of Lord Zarrell.

As long as the Duke's interests are not harmed, and as long as he is willing to recognize the prosecutor's status, then this Anzu Demon, who is very loyal to the Duke, will not make things too difficult for him. What's more important is that it is now a bloody battle in the abyss.

As long as he can still retain his own power, then he has a chance to make meritorious deeds. As long as he can still maintain the stability of the city under the current circumstances, even if it is not in his own name, it can barely be considered a mission. Success, for the devils, as long as the result is good, the process is not important. As long as the devils do not completely lose control of the city, they are not considered a failure.

Although even so, he cannot make up for the large-scale attrition of the legion due to his own incompetence, and his own military rank will certainly not be restored instantly, but as long as his power still exists, he can definitely join the bloody battle of the abyss as a new recruit. .

Even if participating in a bloody battle is too dangerous for him, it is more or less a way to survive, and it is the most obvious way to survive. After all, as long as he performs well in the bloody battle, not only can his past mistakes be checked off, but even It is very possible to directly climb to a higher status and gain more power.

He once again had hope. Although this hope was very difficult to realize, at least this hope existed. It was not like before, with no way out and no way out. That was the real hopeless situation. So at this moment, the hunter demon has completely believed in the identity of Anzu Demon Zariel's direct prosecutor, and he even silently gave his own guesses and answers to the doubts he had.

Why did the prosecutor know what was happening in the west half of the city before I did?
It must be because there are [inner ghosts] among the legion demons over there who directly deliver information to Lord Zariel's direct staff. This is too common in hell. This kind of internal ghost is usually to ensure the understanding and control of the army. , Lucier could swear that there are such characters in every legion. They must have passed the news to this gentleman in advance before they were killed in battle, so the gentleman would know about it before me.

Why does the prosecutor have enemies on his side?
Looking at that boy's dull look, Lucille could swear that he must have been dominated by Anzu Demon's powerful natural spellcasting ability, which is the eight-ring monster control technique. As a devil who has lived in hell for 800 years, he naturally It's because he knows Anzu Mo's powerful signature ability.

He was even sighing that this master is really powerful. You must know that the eight-ring monster control technique is not an ability that all Anzu demons can master. This master must be deeply trusted by Zarrell for being able to master this technique, but In fact….

Although the truth is completely opposite to Lucier's guess, it doesn't matter. The situation in front of him is already very beneficial to Nohill and his team. This guy has been fooled by Tavis, who is controlled by Nohill. Naturally, he cannot be here. In this case, his delusion is broken.

The perception ability of Nohir Crown has detected the thoughts of the hunter demon and the thoughts of other intelligent demons around him. This situation is now the most perfect situation he imagined.

'Very good, my strenuous performance was finally worth it. I have fooled all the devils. Now it can be said to be the most perfect situation. Next, I just need to find an opportunity quickly and pay attention to other devils. If it is not possible, use Anzu Demon's feeble-minded technique to sneak attack on the hunter demon, and then you can rest assured to use Crown's only remaining control technique today to completely control him. '

Yes, this is Nohill's purpose. Although Nohill was fully capable of directly killing the hunting demon on the spot during the previous negotiation, it would not even cause violent reactions from most other demons, but Nohir was certain that once something like this happened, those spy devils hidden in the Legion would fly away immediately and quietly, and then spread the matter to every corner of hell.

At least one thing Luciel was right about was that there were indeed many moles from other forces in his legion, including not only those who belonged to Zariel, but also those sent by the devil princes from other hell levels. Professional spy.

The thoughts of these guys are very obvious. At least among the more than 20 intelligent devils around him, Nohill can easily tell that there are at least four devils belonging to different forces, and they all have the ability to fly.

Nohir was not sure that after killing the hunter demons, he would be able to gather these demons with his disguised identity, nor was he sure that he could kill them all in a short time, so the best option was to let him live, although it was a bit troublesome. , but this is also the safest way.
