Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 412 Plan
"Ah, but Master, if we don't seek the help of the main Harpers in Baldur's Gate, how can we leave the Cursed Land of Shadows? After all, we are now..."

The male ranger named Jonas raised the question at this time. Although the female warlock named Sandara beside him did not say anything, her eyes clearly revealed the same meaning as him.

Although Jonas didn't finish his words, his concern was also her concern. Don't think that they don't have to worry about the dangers outside just because they are protected by this super-large moon shield.

The group of bound spirits and ghosts that surrounded them were obviously instructed by others. Otherwise, according to the normal habits of those undead spirits, they would never take the initiative to approach the light source that could burn them.

The power of the Silver Mother was manifested here. This miracle itself was enough to dispel the ordinary low- and middle-level undead, but they were still surrounded by these spirits.

And since that terrifying guy named Catheric could send out so many undead to surround them, it meant that he must have known their hiding place. But if that was the case, why did he send these undead, which were difficult but completely unable to break through the barrier, to surround them instead of leading his army himself to capture them all in one fell swoop?
Originally, this was a question that had always lingered in their minds, but with the arrival of Noshir and the information he brought, the ranger and warlock duo made a relatively reasonable guess about this.

In their opinion, it was the tentative attack on Bane's followers by Baldur's Gate that attracted the attention of the other two Chosen of the Three Gods of Death, which left them with relatively safe rest time.

But because of this, no one can guarantee how long this safety can last. Now, if they stay here for one more minute, the danger will increase out of thin air. But at this time, the master chose to leave the team that could have come to support in Baldur's Gate, which means that now they have to rely on themselves to leave here.

"How can we break out of this? Master, you should understand now that every minute we stay here, the more likely it is that the terrifying monster will sneak up with his men from the dark and surround us. By that time, even this shield will definitely not be able to protect us for long."

Sandra also raised questions at this time. Obviously, the threat from the Shadow Cursed Land had already made the two of them breathless. For them, leaving here had become a very difficult, even almost impossible task.

In fact, these two harpists are no longer newcomers. As second-class harp shadows, they have also experienced many wilderness missions, although most of them are small tasks such as clearing out goblins and driving away wild beasts.

But occasionally they would receive advanced missions to deal with bandits and collect intelligence, but today, the problem they faced was obviously beyond the capabilities of the duo. Under such pressure, it was understandable that they wanted to escape at any time, but...

"We're not leaving here, you two."

The two who were expecting Master Jaheira to give them a feasible retreat plan instantly became discouraged. Although they had expected that the master would not retreat easily, he told everyone directly that he would never leave...

We don't have the ability to stay here any longer! Master! A few more of those monsters outside can kill us!
Jaheira knew this, but since Baldur's Gate had already started the operation, they couldn't just leave in disgrace. Forcing the two newcomers to follow them in carrying out the high-risk plan would only force them to die. "This mission is still too difficult for you. After all, you are not warriors at all."

The Harpists' main job is to gather intelligence. Unless they have an absolute advantage in combat power, they will never launch a battle without knowing their own limitations. But now the situation has changed. What they need now is not just spies to gather intelligence, but also powerful force to stop the enemy's plans!
"I believe you have seen how strong the enemy is before, so the task I assign to you is just to stay here."

"I know you've been worried about whether this shield can guarantee your safety. You can rest assured about this. Although even I don't know how Isobel did it, I can recognize that this shield must be some kind of miracle."

"Stay here, you don't have to worry about attacks from the outside world, just wait for our news. If nothing unexpected happens, when the situation at Baldur's Gate stabilizes, we will have new staff here soon, and you will be responsible for settling them. As for now, you go and protect Isobel. That priest is very important, don't let her get into any accidents."

Jonas and Sandra nodded, accepted the task assigned to them by the master, and then went back upstairs and stood guard in front of Isobel's door.

At this time, Noshir also discussed with Master Jahira. What they wanted to discuss was the next exploration mission.

According to Noshir's intelligence, there is not only Catheric left in the Tower of the Beginning, but also a crowned and controlled Mind-thirsting Mastermind, and a Chosen of Baal whose existence has not been discovered but is still uncertain.

These are all potential threats and important information that must be investigated clearly. If the information in this regard is inaccurate, then the others who are fighting against the Cult of Bane in Baldur's Gate may suffer a fatal blow from the other Chosen of the Three Death Gods off the field.

Jaheira: "We cannot retreat until we know how many dangerous characters there are. Although we are only facing one Bane in Baldur's Gate, the Chosen are still the Chosen. According to historical records, each Chosen possesses power that we cannot even imagine."

"But if we can win the battle quickly and defeat one of their forces first, we will be able to gain a huge advantage in this war game. If we can seize the Nesir Stone from Gotash, we can eliminate their biggest trump card, the Mind Flayer community under the Mastermind."

Jaheira's plan was very clear. That was to rely on the existing first-mover advantage to gradually erode the opponent's base step by step, using his own strength to attack the opponent's weakness, and use the small group of elite troops on his side to distract the two chosen ones who might be here, so that Baldur's Gate would have enough strength to quickly defeat Gotash.

Such a plan could be said to be quite safe. Apart from the fact that the task on their side was a little bit difficult, the plan itself could almost be called perfect.
