Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 461 Plan
"What...what do you mean? Are those guys crazy? Would they attack us at this time?"

Karak couldn't quite believe what Noshil said, but Noshil did respond with ease.

"Aren't they just lunatics? Don't have any hope for the actions of lunatics. They dared to blow up the passage and block our way forward. They definitely don't mind doing something else to attract our attention so as to save their corrupt temple."

Noshir said this to Scar and the other two, and then explained his guesses to them in detail, from the importance of the temple to the believers, to his personal understanding of evil thoughts and Shavlock, analyzing their psychological activities from all aspects and predicting what might happen next.

At the same time, because Noshier's speculation was well-founded, and coupled with his previous reliable image, everyone believed this speculation without much hesitation.

Seeing that both of them acknowledged the possibility that Shaflock would probably take action soon, Noshier immediately turned his head and looked at the deep tunnel in the distance.

Noshir knew that the end of that passage was Noshir and his companions' destination, the largest temple in the main material plane where Baal, the god of murder, remained. As long as this temple could be destroyed, Baal would not be able to casually cast his power on the mortal world as he did in the past. Without the huge bloody sacrifices inside the temple, the growth of his divine power would fall into a slow stagnation.

Destroying that temple can be said to have many benefits, but because of the decisive actions of the Baal believers, it is impossible for Noshir and others to destroy the temple in a short period of time. But it is also okay this way.

Although destroying the temple can weaken Baal's power to the greatest extent, it will also completely offend this evil god. Even though they have killed so many of Baal's believers and Noshir has caused unparalleled damage to His plans, it seems that they have already completely offended this evil god, but in fact it is not the case.

Gods are all beings of higher status, even evil gods like Baal are the same. The affairs among mortals cannot affect them who are high above. The struggles among mortals are as enjoyable as a game to them. Failed plans and failed chess pieces are nothing to them.

As long as they still retain the basic foundation of starting over, as long as their beliefs are still spread in this world, they will have unlimited time to achieve the results they want.

But if Noshir really destroyed his temple and cut off his greatest source of faith, it would be tantamount to completely clearing out his chess player. In order to return to the game again, he would have to pay a greater price, a price that even gods could not ignore.

As the culprit who caused Him to pay such a price, Noshir will completely bear the wrath and gaze of a god for the rest of his life. For most people in this world, once they receive such treatment, they are basically not far from death.

Although Noshir is very strong now, he still cannot face the species with divine power head-on and completely offend Dead Baal. This is a very serious crisis even for him, so if possible, he actually does not want to approach the temple in person.

At least not now.

While Noshir was thinking, Scar also looked at the passage that Noshir had been observing, which connected to the Temple of Baal. After observing for a while, Scar suddenly spoke up. "The passage over there is now completely blocked. If your guess is correct, those assassins really have a way to get out of there, then they probably won't take this route. They may come out from anywhere, which means that we can no longer determine their movements. We don't know where they will attack us from, nor do we know whether they will attack us, or bypass us and attack the residents on the surface."

Scar paused, then continued.

"So I suggest that we quickly evacuate the Flame Fist. If this place is really going to be attacked by those cultists, then there is no point in letting them stay here. It is better to let them retreat to the surface. This way, they can assist the ground defenders and protect the civilians on land. In the dim environment underground, they are very likely to be assassinated by the enemy and die in vain."

Noshir's eyebrows twitched, then he nodded at Scar in understanding.

"In fact, I just wanted to say this. There is really not much point in the troops staying here. Even if they stay here, it will only provide the enemy with one more direction to attack, which will create a disadvantage for us. In this case, it is better to withdraw from the underground directly. As long as they lose the underground troops as an attack target, the only direction they can choose to attack is from above."

"As they wind their way upward, we can use our current elite forces to try to intercept them here and force them to fight with our masters. Even if we fail to intercept them and let them escape to the ground, we will obviously have the advantage in a battle on the ground."

After hearing Noshir's plan, Scar and Karak looked at each other involuntarily, and they read the same idea from each other's eyes.

"This plan... is very good. If the situation really develops as we expected, even if the assassins target the civilians on the ground, they will have to get past us first. As long as we can stop them, those crazy killers will not be able to threaten the residents on the ground. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone. It is the best choice to take advantage of the situation. However... this plan has a very obvious problem in front of us."

After Scar finished speaking, Karak immediately took over.

"The question is, is the responsibility we have to shoulder too heavy? Are there too many enemies to deal with? Can we really stop an entire sect from going all out with just a few of us?"

"I mean... don't get me wrong. This is not because I don't have confidence in my strength. I have been in hell for eight years, but even I know that if I don't have teammates to support me in such a large-scale battle, even masters of our level will be easily killed, especially when facing a group of assassins who can turn invisible..."

Karak's voice gradually became lower and lower, because the two people's worries were indeed not unreasonable. According to Nosir's plan, the only four people left here were Nosir, Scar, Karak, and Mizola.
