Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 537 Attack
But Zeis was well prepared for this. The sudden attack of Vlaakith did not defeat him immediately. Zeis summoned his followers who trusted him, and a most brutal civil war among the Githyanki broke out in Tunaras, the main city of the Githyanki currently living in the Astral Plane.

That battle completely divided the originally united Gith. After that, Zeus had to lead the Gith who were willing to follow him to leave Tu'naras and come to the distant Chaos Sea, where they established a new home. From then on, they called themselves Githzerai. Later, other Gith under the rule of the Lich Queen also changed their name to Githyanki.

Noshir recounted to the prince the entire history of the development of the Githyanki during the years that the prince had been trapped, helping him understand the current situation in the world.

When Orpheus heard that the glorious and great Ghis people had split into two tribes, and because of the civil war they had once fought, they regarded each other as the most hated enemies besides the mind flayers, he felt a dull pain in his heart when he thought of this.

But perhaps it is a blessing in disguise that the people of Gis have not completely forgotten their history and the glory they once had under the lies of Vlaakis. They still remember Gis and are still loyal to the children of Gis. They still remember the Comet Prince, but under the lies of Vlaakis, they have forgotten the true identity represented by this title.

But Orpheus will make them remember that once the true offspring of Ghis returns to the astral world, Vlaakis's lies will be exposed, her brutal rule will come to an end, and the Comet Prince will definitely cut off the head of this betrayer with a sharp sword! But before that -

"Perhaps we will never be able to repay your kindness to our clan, Noshir."

Orpheus looked at Nosir in front of him seriously, his eyes filled with endless gratitude, but Nosir just waved his hand and then asked Orpheus.

"How do you feel now, knowing this, Your Majesty?"

Orpheus smiled.

"I feel that the road ahead is clear. Knowing everything that has happened in these years, I can better understand where the road ahead will lead. I, we are all really grateful for telling us this, Noshir. As I said before, perhaps our family will never be able to repay your kindness to us, but at least in dealing with the evil creature Vlaakis, no matter what, please let us help you."

Orpheus stretched out his hand to Noshil, and Noshil did not hesitate and shook it tightly.

“That’s a coincidence. Isn’t this the chance? Let’s go. I believe you don’t have any attachment to this place. The portal out of here is still open. At least get out of this cage first. Then we can discuss together how to deal with the upcoming Githyanki.”

Orpheus nodded heavily at Noshil. The other fully armed Gis people who had gathered around also raised their swords and let out a uniform and inspiring war roar. Noshil glanced at the others and said a few words to Orpheus. After confirming that they could follow his silver belt to teleport at the same time, Noshil no longer hesitated. After a few seconds, he was accompanied by a stream of light and teleported directly to the vicinity of the portal.

And just at the moment when Noshir emerged from the silver light that spread all over the star realm, a series of silver lights followed closely behind him and quickly covered a large area nearby within the next few breaths. Relying on the innate psychic power of the Gis people, and in the star realm environment where gravity was almost non-existent, all of them floated in the sky.

Noshir turned his head to look at Orpheus, nodded to him, and then took the first step to jump out, stepped into the portal, and was the first to leave the Astral Prism. When his feet finally stepped on the land of the main material plane again, he shook his head violently, almost instantly dispelling the negative effects of the portal. Then, a series of faint roars, the roars of giants, the shaking of the earth, and the vague but still resolute roars of the soldiers outside, all of which instantly made Noshir realize that something was wrong.

"——At this time."

Noshier quickly glanced at the surrounding environment. He realized what was happening outside. The Githyanki actually took advantage of the time when he entered the Astral Prism to come to Baldur's Gate. Fortunately, the Githyanki troops had not yet reached the most heavily defended area of ​​Bodhrán Tower, which was the lowest floor except for the basement.

The iron predator next to him did not suffer any attack, and there were no corpses torn apart by the predators around. Considering that the Githyanki have considerable psychic powers and magical means, they did not directly use teleportation to send people here. It seems that these Githyanki should have just arrived, and the time he came back was just right.

Noshir immediately took off the space box that was hung on his belt with an iron chain, touched it to the iron predator, and took the big guy back. The next moment after that, Prince Orpheus and several of his strongest honor guards also crossed the portal.

Perhaps because they are proficient in psychic powers and live in a star realm where teleportation is the only means of transportation, crossing the inter-dimensional portal did not cause any negative impact on them at all. Almost the moment they walked out, they opened their eyes, looked around carefully, and soon sensed the movements in the outside world like Noshir.

"This commotion—could it be!"

"I'm afraid you're right, Your Majesty. Your people should be blocking my door by now. It seems that we can only skip the negotiation and use the most direct means to let them have a good and calm talk."

"...They were just deceived by Vlaakis' lies. Give me some time. I am confident that I can convince them and get them back on the right track from now on."

Orpheus looked reluctant, but Noshir sighed and continued.

"But I am sure, Your Majesty, with your current status, it is impossible for you to make these guys sent by Vlaakis to recover the Astral Prism reform with just one sentence. Think about it carefully, the Astral Prism is so important, would Vlaakis really send a team that is weak-willed and disloyal to her to take it?"

"...Honor Guard, prepare for battle."
