Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 399 Assigning tasks
"..."

The Duke of Ravengard's straightforward words caused a moment of silence at the scene. Of course, they understood the principles that the Duke said, but these words of the Duke could not solve the problems they were currently facing.

"I've said before that as a participant in the suffering of this city, I understand your difficulties. However, in the face of such a major event that could threaten everyone in the North, I still implore you to send some support, even if it's just symbolic support. Please, this is very important to Baldur's Gate."

Grand Duke Ravengard kept a low profile. As the Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate, he knew only too well how destructive the followers of the Three Gods of Death could be.

Baal alone is enough to turn Baldur's Gate upside down, and this time the Three Death Gods not only worked together, but also selected their own voters. Coupled with the artifacts and the mastermind, the data on paper alone was enough to make Duke Ravengard breathless. What a powerful lineup!
From this moment on, he realized that Baldur's Gate alone could not cope with this threat, and he had to ask for help! Even if it was to ask for help from the already seriously injured Eltoril!
"..."

The three representatives remained silent, but perhaps moved by the sincere tone of Duke Ravengard, the representatives looked at each other at this time, as if hoping that the other two could come up with a solution.

In the eyes of the three men, they saw the embarrassment in Marquis Fernando's eyes, the fighting spirit of Paladin Alistair, and the trance in the eyes of the old high priest, but in the end they became firm again.

At this time, Marquis Fernando understood that the others had made up their minds, so he had to take a deep breath and then slowly spoke to Duke Ravengarde.

"Okay, Grand Duke, we agree to send troops to support Baldur's Gate in fighting against the Cult of the Three Death Gods, but due to some well-known reasons, we are unlikely to send too much support out of the city for the time being, so sorry..."

The three representatives looked at each other again, and then started to discuss. In the end, Marquis Fernando coughed and said to Duke Ravengard.

"Ahem, sorry, we can only send a battalion of soldiers to assist you. This number is a little small, but please rest assured that these 100 warriors are all elite Hell Knights. Each of them is a skilled paladin and an absolutely elite force. As long as they are properly arranged, I believe they will be able to play a huge role..."

"That's enough! Thank you for your generosity!"

Grand Duke Ravengard said excitedly that even though there was only one battalion, the Duke had nothing to be dissatisfied with. It was already the limit for Eltorel to send such a strong reinforcement at such a difficult time. The Duke, who had lived with these paladins for more than a month, had already witnessed their extraordinary strength and will.

Facing terrifying opponents like the Three Death Gods, a firm will is more important than numbers. And the most crucial thing is that this is only the vanguard support. A huge war cannot be started just by saying so.

They must also conduct preliminary reconnaissance to find out the enemy's movements, prepare sufficient logistical supplies and weapons and equipment, and mobilize enough soldiers. All of these preparations take time, so if nothing goes wrong, after Eltoril stabilizes a little, follow-up support from the Hell Knights will arrive soon.

-

The meeting ended quickly. This was the first cooperation between Baldur's Gate and Eltoril after they signed the friendly trade agreement. From this perspective, this cooperation was probably of great significance to the two cities.

The 100 paladins who served as the vanguard had already begun to assemble. They would escort Grand Duke Ravengard all the way back to Baldur's Gate as a guard team, and then assist the Grand Duke in clearing out the greatest danger hidden in the city, namely the evil Baal Cult and the Bane Cult newly formed by Enver Gortash.

In order to gain the upper hand, Advisor Florek had already begun preparing to teleport back to Baldur's Gate after the meeting. The Flaming Fist would be mobilized in the name of the Duke of Ravengarde, and a large-scale search would be conducted to clear out the two cults.

Because the main gathering place of the Bane Cult has been exposed, the Flaming Fist will raid the factory area of ​​Grey Harbor as quickly as possible, and they have also learned the hiding place of the Baal Cult through conversations with the dead and from Olin's assassins. Because the Cult of the God of Murder does not have a high-end combat force like Evil Thoughts at its command for the time being, now is the best time to take action!

If the Flaming Fist is fast enough and lucky enough, this wave of surprise attacks should be able to severely damage the vitality of the two sects, so that they can mobilize all their energy to deal with the threat from the Moonrise Tower. If their plan is frustrated, the paladins will work with the Flaming Fist to stabilize Baldur's Gate as originally planned, and then move towards the Moonrise Tower together.

This will be a relatively long mobilization and war. It is conservatively estimated that the preliminary preparations will take nearly a month. What will happen in this month? Will there be some unexpected accidents? No one can guarantee such things, not even Noshier.

The development of the plot has completely deviated from the trajectory of the original work. The only thing he can do now is to try his best, seize the current advantages, and then do his utmost to change the ending in the direction he wants.

"Ah, I heard that this city is holding a grand farewell ceremony today, but isn't it a bit too early to send people off at this time?"

Karak yawned and walked towards Noshir carrying a huge hammer. This girl had become a little lazy since she came out of hell. She had just woken up and did not attend the previous meeting. She didn't even know what happened last night.

Noshil, who was originally in a very solemn mood, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this scene. Scar beside him sighed, and then explained to Karak what had happened before.

"…So when I wake up, it's the end of the world?"

"The end of the world isn't as serious as you say."

"Ha, when I was a little girl, my mom would tell me about the three dead gods whenever I didn't behave, and now the three dead gods have really appeared. Well, this is no different from the end of the world to me."

"..."

Karak's expression did not show any panic as if the world was about to end, so she was just joking, and this joke did ease his originally heavy mood a little, but he quickly calmed down again.

"Thank you for your childhood anecdote, Karak. When this is over, I will take the time to listen to your other stories. But now I have a mission for you, soldier."

"Ha, no matter what the task is, it can't stop the great Karak. Just tell me, soldier. If anyone dares to stop me, I will smash them to pieces with my hammer!"

"The momentum is good. Keep it up. But listen carefully, Karak. The task I'm going to assign to you is to assist Advisor Florrick and return to Baldur's Gate with her to eliminate the two evil cults entrenched in Baldur's Gate."

"As a native of Baldur's Gate, I believe you understand how dangerous these two sects are. Although according to our information, the current leader of the Baal Cult does not seem to be in Baldur's Gate now, we cannot guarantee whether there are other dangerous people in this cult. In the Bane Cult, there is a person named Enver Gotash who needs special attention. He is a chosen one of Bane and may possess some particularly powerful abilities."

"I will let Scar and Mizora assist you. You must be careful then..."

"Enver Gotash!!"
