Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 256: Taking the Head Start
Now that the most difficult part of this conversation has passed, at least at this moment, the hunting demon no longer has any deep doubts about Nohir and his party, but it is only for this period of time.

Lies can never be sustained forever, not to mention that the lie told by Nohir is full of flaws. As long as the hunter is given some time, he will soon discover the fact that he has been deceived. When that happens, It won't be that easy to find a chance to control him again.

After all, he can't prove his legal right to rule to the Devil Legion, so even if Nohir now verbally obtains the leadership of this hunting demon, he can't directly bypass the nominal legion commander to control all the devils present. , unless he can directly produce the appointment document, but Nohill does not have this thing at all.

Now he just relied on his previous head start to interrupt the hunter's thinking, and then used overt and covert threats to make him focus on his own safety, so that he had no energy to doubt the true identity of Nohir and his party. But lies of this level are too easy to expose.

So now Nohill must let Tavis, who is being manipulated, continue to issue various orders, and must use this right to create an opportunity as soon as possible. A chance to temporarily escape from the sight of other demons, allowing Nohir and his group to be alone with the hunter demons.

Fortunately, thanks to the wonderful coaxing just now, it is not too difficult for Nohill and his party to do this. At this time, the Anzu Demon controlled by Nohill was only silent for a while, and then Then he continued to speak directly to Lucille.

"Very good. It seems that the anger has not completely burned your brains out. The little brain you have left has allowed you to make the right choice. Although your legion is about to be wiped out, as long as you can complete Zariel's I may not be able to let you go according to your master’s orders.”

The hunter demon's eyes suddenly trembled. These words made his eyes shine with unprecedented light. He understood the meaning of Anzu Mo's words.

Hell is a place with strict rules and distinct classes. As a legion commander, Lucier's biggest mistake in this incident was not that the loss of legion personnel was too serious, but that the legion was completely unaware of his actions. The number of troops was reduced by more than half under circumstances. His complete ignorance of this matter was his most serious crime, and those casualties were nothing at all.

According to the laws enacted by the devil princes in hell, as long as you are a legion in battle order, as long as you do your best to complete the orders given to you by the princes, it does not matter how heavy the casualties are. After all, what the Duke needs is success. The lives of low-level devils are the least valuable commodity.

But if you fail the Duke and fail to complete your mission, no matter what the reason is, you will be punished by the failure of the mission, and for Lucille, the crime he committed is more serious than the devil himself. This is even more serious.

If he tried his best and used all his abilities but still failed due to some external factors, then even if he was punished later, it would not be too harsh. But according to the previous situation, if the prosecutor had not If he appeared in front of him and told him this information, his failure would be almost certain, and the reason for his failure would be extremely stupid.

This kind of stupidity was enough to make him pay the heaviest price, but now it seems that things are still turning around. The prosecutor is an Anzu demon who is also a high-level demon with him. His joining can completely make up for the legion's combat strength. The lack of , which means that his mission of suppressing the city and wiping out the resistance forces still has the possibility of success, and as long as the mission is successful, he will no longer have to worry about the punishment for mission failure.

This is almost the best news for Lucier now, but even if the mission is successfully completed, his sin of poor management of the legion is enough for him to let Zha Zha Grand Duke Riel personally stripped off his current noble form.

Lucier had already resigned himself to his fate, but now according to the prosecutor, as long as he obeys the orders well, he might not be able to subtract some punishment from this basis, at least if the prosecutor can help Mr. Zarrell at that time. Say something nice for him in front of him, or directly remove the matter of his poor management from the report during the reporting process...

If this was really the case, then he wouldn't have to take huge risks to participate in a bloody battle. This possibility was enough for him to risk everything. "Thank you for your mercy, Mr. Prosecutor. I apologize to you again for my previous rudeness. If I can really gain your mercy, then I can swear to you that I will always be loyal to Mr. Zariel. I will also be your most solid and reliable ally."

"Take the contract of hell as proof."

Anzu Demon, who was controlled by Nohir, only nodded after hearing this again, and then a stiff and ferocious smile appeared on his lips.

"Very good. You won't regret your choice today. Now send an order to the front line immediately and ask all the remaining devils to gather here. We need to know how much power we still have."

"Don't be idle during the gathering. The weapons and equipment here come from five legions, but most of the weapons and armor are of little significance to this war."

Anzu Demon looked around the surrounding environment.

"I need you to prepare all the large-scale siege weapons. Chariots and crossbows are all placed at the main entrance so that they can gather and set off immediately. Gunpowder and cannonballs are also collected so that they can be transported together. Well, let's do that for the time being. Come here."

"I understand, prosecutor."

The hunter demon nodded in agreement to the Anzu demon, and then immediately turned around and shouted to the other legion demons.

"What are you still doing? You are a bunch of damn trash! Immediately send people to the front line to get the legion to withdraw! Don't wait for me!"

"And the legion demons! Arrange the weapons and equipment immediately according to the order of the prosecutor. I want you to arrange everything in order within 30 minutes! Now move it for me immediately, go and act!"

Following the cry of the hunter demon, the demons currently existing here immediately began to act in an orderly manner, while the hunter demon immediately turned its head after giving the order and looked at the Anzu demon with some flattery.

At this time, there was still a huge amount of anxiety in his heart. He was a little worried that he still hadn't done a good enough job. He was worried that after the dust settled, the prosecutor would not care about his family and life at all. He wanted to alleviate this worry. .
