Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 548 Comprehensive Counterattack
Orpheus asked him softly while blocking Val Ghosh's attack. Val Ghosh did not respond, and Orpheus did not expect him to respond. He just gave him that infinitely sad look again.

In Orpheus's heart, Var Ghosh would always be a victim deceived by Vlaakis' lies, but - he could no longer have any sympathy for him.

"Why?! Why are you looking at me like that!!"

Even though one of his hands was still clamped and all his spiritual energy was sealed, Val Ghoz still noticed Orpheus's expression. This kind of pity from his enemy made him extremely angry, but it also made him feel a feeling he had never experienced before.

Regret? Reflection? Or tolerance? Val Ghosh didn't know. He always felt a subtle sense of strangeness from this strange fellow. However, the habit he had developed under the rule of the Supreme Queen for hundreds of years made him instinctively not want to think about what this feeling meant.

So until now, Val Ghosh was still waving his fists in vain, attacking Orpheus, and this was the last thing he did in his long but not glorious life.

"rest in peace."

Orpheus suddenly closed his eyes, and in the next moment, before Val Ghoz could react, a powerful energy suddenly burst out from Orpheus' body. This energy flowed along Val Ghoz's bound right hand, like a burst dam, and rushed into Val Ghoz's body from Orpheus' hand. In that instant, Val Ghoz died.

His body, which had been struggling violently, suddenly stiffened for a moment, and then the whole person collapsed. Orpheus reached out to catch Val Ghosh's body, laid him flat on the ground, stretched out his hand, and closed his eyes.

"His Majesty."

The one who spoke was Li Rick, and there were some honor guards who arrived during this period. These honor guards of Orpheus witnessed everything with their own eyes.

As veterans of thousands of years, they have witnessed the glory of Gis with their own eyes, and followed it to break the shackles that imprisoned their compatriots. They have also personally chopped off hundreds of heads of mind flayers and overturned the persecution and poisoning of the Gis people by the Great Blueprint.

They have experienced countless traumas and setbacks in their lives, and all of this was for the sake of liberating their race and their compatriots. Because of this, no one in the world understands better than them how cruel it is for Orpheus to kill his compatriots with his own hands, even though Var Ghez died without pain.

The moment Orpheus used the resonance energy blast, he completely destroyed his nerves and wiped out his life. This way of death was undoubtedly a mercy for him, but...

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Li Rick squeezed out from among the many honor guards and silently came to the side of Orpheus, looking at the silent Comet Prince with a worried look. She was afraid that this killing would be the last straw that broke the camel's back for Orpheus after ten thousand years of imprisonment.

But Orpheus just stood there silently, watching Var Ghosh's face no longer showing any trace of anger after his death, and then spoke silently.

"Nothing has changed, my fellow countrymen, nothing has changed..."

The moment he finished saying this, Orpheus suddenly raised his head and looked at the entire battlefield. At this time, the looting troops used by the Githyanki to recover the Astral Prism had all arrived at the battlefield.

Orpheus saw that there were more than a dozen light and fast small magic ships shaped like flying pills in the sky (12 meters long, 4 meters wide, 8 passengers, and a crossbow on the bow), and a medium-sized magic ship that was several times larger than those ordinary magic ships (30 meters long, 8 meters wide, 50 passengers, four magic crystal cannons on the hull, and two crossbows on the bow), which had just sailed out of the air portal.

He also saw their allies, their MLA'GHIR (Liberators) ran straight into a red dragon, stopped it abruptly, then grabbed its right horn with endless brute force, even pulled its head backwards, and then gave it another punch, knocking the dragon unconscious, causing it to fall from the sky unconsciously, then flew to the dragon's tail, grabbed its tail, swung the giant beast in the sky, and directly knocked over two approaching small magic ships.

The Githyanki on the magic ship suddenly lost stability, and all of them fell from the sky along with the broken hull. Then, they relied on the Githyanki's innate ability [Dimension Step] to land safely, and then faced the Flaming Fist Legion that was already ready to go below. At this time, Noshiel flew towards other magic ships.

His goal was to destroy the flying ability of these Githyanki, destroy these magic ships, and make them lose their air advantage, so that they could not pose a threat to the ground forces. Orpheus also saw through Nosir's purpose, and even more so saw through his mercy, because for Nosir, the time to destroy the ship was enough for him to rush directly to the magic ship and kill all the Githyanki on it, but Nosir did not do so.

In order to fulfill their agreement, Noshir chose to use this stupid method to avoid direct casualties among the Gisyanki. Orpheus knew that just as he found it difficult to attack his compatriots, Noshir must also be in the same difficulty, unable to do his best to help his city resist foreign enemies in such a critical moment.

Orpheus had not seen such an act of kindness in ten thousand years. He came to his senses, took a deep breath, cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts, focused all his energy on this battle, then turned around and shouted loudly to the Honor Guards that had assembled behind him!
"——KITHRAK (fellow countrymen)! Get ready for battle! MLA'GHIR (liberator) is willing to risk more casualties to help us save the lives of our people! We must not betray this trust!"

"All Mindweavers, take to the air! Build a psychic field to isolate the aerial bombardment of the magic crystal cannon! Gish and the monks will go to the front battlefield and knock down the rebels as quickly as possible, and then transport them to a safe place."

"Vlaakis underestimated us. The total number of Gith who came to recover the Astral Prism this time is only 300. We have enough ability to minimize casualties. Don't let MLA'GHIR (Liberator) down!"
