Chapter 1191 Entering the West District
No one knows where Archmage Ai came from.
However, since he is related to Kuilu, he is naturally on his side in this operation.
The "Son of Drogan" welcomed the addition of a legendary Archmage as a teammate, and naturally accepted the addition of a new teammate.
Afterwards, the team continued to march to the northern camp of the drow elves without stopping.
Naturally, Nasira was still the guide.
"The imprisoned one should be just a clone of Helast."
"Although he did not admit it, perhaps he was restricted by certain factors and could not admit it, but all signs indicate that his imprisonment should be a cooperation with Mephistopheles. If I am right, the root of this is his trip to Avernus."
"However, he also gave us a promise that even if Valsares was lured here, he would not directly wipe out the drow mistress, but would only imprison her..."
Isaac was exchanging information with Kuilu.
At this point, almost all of Halaster's anomalies have been figured out.
As Isaac speculated, Halaster will cooperate with Mephistopheles. This is not the only possibility, but it is basically not bad. The reason should be that he was trapped in Avernus during that time.
However, Halaster promised Isaac that he would not directly wipe out Valsarius. It is clear that the mad mage has not really been controlled by Mephistopheles.
"If it was really Mephistopheles who made a contract with him while he was trapped in Baator, then it should not be just this cooperation."
"This time, if Valsarius had not been lured here, in my opinion, Helast would most likely take action against Leylin Evans to complete his contract with Mephistopheles."
"And with Mephistopheles' secret training of Leylin Evans... he should be sent directly to Lismaiasa by Helast to compete with Valsarius and eventually create some conditions that can allow Mephistopheles to break free from the constraints of the contract!"
Combined with the information provided by Isaac, Kui Lu also quickly made corresponding speculations.
Her eyes met with Isaac again.
Isaac knew what she meant. This was asking him whether he wanted to stop Helast from teleporting Leylin Evans, which was very likely!
"At present, Leylin Evans is not qualified to directly compete with Valsarius."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the three allies of Valsarius will be the nutrients for his next growth."
"Mephistopheles should also create the corresponding growth time for him."
"During this time, he will be fine."
"With this time, we can also investigate and test what the contract between Valsarius and Him is?"
"In addition, even if we encounter the worst case scenario in the end, this time is enough for us to mobilize more forces to deal with it!"
Although he did not respond directly, Isaac's meaning was very clear.
There is no need to alarm the snake now. First follow Mephistopheles's design, and then investigate His weaknesses from other aspects. Even if it fails, at least there is more time to prepare, and we can gather more powerful forces to fight against Him!
Moreover, this is not a bad thing for Leylin Evans. Mephistopheles's investment will undoubtedly further promote the growth of the hero of Neverwinter.
Of course, the degree of this must be grasped. That is, this incident must be ended before Mephistopheles's design enters the final stage. Only then can the hero of Neverwinter escape the conspiracy of the devil of hell!
After thinking about Isaac's words, Kui Lu slowly nodded.
If Helast really wants to end the contract between him and Mephistopheles with Leylin Evans as they speculated.
Undoubtedly, Isaac's suggestion is the most appropriate response.
"That's it!"
"Khelben has already launched an investigation into Valsarius. If there is any gain and the matter can be resolved smoothly, it would be the best."
"However, just in case, I have to prepare for the worst in advance."
Whether it is Valsarius or Mephistopheles, this threat is first aimed at the Underdark, especially the most direct target at present, Lismaysa, who also has many followers of the Dark Girl.
The belief of the Dark Girl is a minority in the drow world.
Since Kuilu has already learned about it, she will not sit idly by and watch Lismaisa being destroyed before the evil forces.
In fact, Isaac had expected this long ago, and he also knew that he could not stop the Dark Sisters in such a situation.
Fortunately, through current observations and speculations, with the existence of Leylin Evans, Kuilu still has relatively sufficient time to prepare for the response.
Nodding slightly, the two quickly made a decision.
At the same time, under the leadership of Nasira, the team was also quickly killing towards the drow camp in the north area.
It was inevitable to encounter various situations on the way.
However, with the elite level of this team, and with Nasira who was familiar with the terrain leading, there would be no obstacles.
When the team killed all the way to the vicinity of the camp.
Once again, the same tactics as before.
Nasira and "Son of Drogan", together with two Fomi ant guards, sneaked into a secret passage again, ready to take down the turret of the drow camp.
On the front side, it was naturally Kui Lu who led the team to attract the attention of the drow camp and provide them with cover.
In view of the previous battle, no drow elves escaped to the north area through the connecting passage.
For this tactic, the drow elves here should not have any advance defense.
In fact, this is indeed true.
Although they came all the way here, the drow elves here were already on guard. However, under the synchronous message transmission of the Fomi queen ant, when Isaac personally took action, he used several consecutive cloud-like spells to cover a large area of the camp, and also attracted the attention of the drow elves.
Nasira and "Son of Drogan" sneaked in quietly, but it was easy to take down the turret again, and immediately launched a bombardment on the camp.
Their success.
On Kuilu's side, the feint attack immediately turned into a general attack.
The power of the North District Camp is actually better than that of the Central District Camp, at least, it is better than the Central District Camp where the drow wizard has not made any move.
However, this battle was much smoother than the battle in the Central District Camp.
After a while with Helast, Isaac no longer needed to hide deliberately.
Even though he still only used the power of the warlock profession, with "shaping control", his spells really have the great effect of clearing the field without accidental injuries.
This effect on the battlefield is much stronger than Kuilu and Leilin Evans.
In addition, he is not like an ordinary wizard. Not only does he completely ignore all crossbow sniping, even the Baatezu demon like Baba Mo, who started to kill violently, can't affect him at all.
Under the continuous bombardment of his large-scale spells, naturally, the collapse of the drow camp is also a matter of course.
The temple guards and the Fumi ants surrounded and killed them again.
Kuilu and others sniped at elites such as the Baba Demon and the Drow Priest.
Even the "Son of Drogan" and Nasira were soon killed.
The resistance of the North District Camp could not even last half an hour, and it was completely conquered.
From now on, the only tough bone should be the West District Camp, which is also the place where Helast was imprisoned.
It is only known that the West District Camp is the final base of Valsares in the Underworld City.
Although the leader of the Deep Hell Refiner who "lured" Helast into the trap has retreated early, there is still a whole team of ice demons guarding there.
Moreover, this team of eight ice demons should all come directly from Carnia and are members of the Ice Demon Corps under Mephistopheles.
Such ice demons are naturally not just the "standard version" summoned by the usual "summoning technique".
Whether it is the advancement within the race or the professional level, on the basis of the high-level Baatezu, there is a further enhancement...
These ice demons are terrifying enemies for any adventurer, and the "Son of Drogan" is no exception.
In addition, there are more powerful military forces in the West District Camp, especially, there should be some drow wizards, and the existence of Baatezu demons directly under the command of these ice demons...
"The West District Camp has no secret passages connected, and there are still a large number of Baatezu demon guards. I have observed it from a distance, and I have no confidence in sneaking in."
"I am afraid that we can only release Helast by breaking through this stronghold head-on and destroying the prison."
Taking advantage of the rest, Nasira, Lelin Evans and others came to Kuilu again to discuss what to do next.
"After two consecutive fierce battles, our consumption is not small. The ice demons on the opposite side are waiting for the opportunity.
The current situation is that it will be difficult to break through the stronghold camp from the front, and the losses will be the same.
So, I have an idea, is it possible for us to lure them out of the stronghold?"
"If they kill all of them, the camp will naturally have a power void, which should be our opportunity."
"If they only kill part of them, it means that they are divided, and we can swallow them piece by piece."
"If they hide in the camp and don't move...we can simply clean up the situation around the camp!"
Following Nasira, Lelin Evans was also talking about his ideas.
Unlike the Baatezu like the Baba Demon, the ice demons all have offensive spell abilities that can be cast at will. Such a threat is too great for both the team and the individual.
In particular, there is a whole team of eight ice demons, and in addition to the Baba demons, there are also bone demons that are comparable to the level of the Vro demons in Tanarri.
These Baatezu demons alone are definitely not easy to chew.
Not to mention that they are now exhausted in both physical strength and magic. Even if they are all in their prime, they still have to be very careful to chew these Baatezu demons.
Of course, in view of the fact that their adventure team is not the only one on our side now, there are also legendary powerhouses like Kui Lu and Ai, and even legendary spell casters. Leylin Evans did not say that he would rest now and wait for later. By tomorrow, restore everything and then enter the West District.
"Seduction?"
The words of the hero of Neverwinter made Kui Lu, Yi Lilin and others feel moved in their hearts.
Especially Kui Lu, she knows the inside story of everything.
This "lure" is a tactical strategy for the "Sons of Drogan" and the Temple Guard.
But for her and Isaac, it was different.
"Helast's safety doesn't really need to be considered."
"If this 'lure' can really attract Valsaris over, it will be a good move!"
"Even if Valsaris is not lured here, this strategy will only have advantages and no disadvantages."
With this movement in her heart, her eyes met with Isaac's.
After seeing the look of approval in Isaac's eyes.
Kui Lu also nodded: "That's it. Nasira, in the West District, do you have some secret space? It should be a suitable place for ambush, and a suitable place where the enemies who are lured out can be killed in one fell swoop..."
A few people were discussing this at the moment.
After a while, the related cleaning and rest were almost done.
Once again, the team pointed directly at the entrance to the west area.
The entrance from the North District to the West District is different from the previous two connecting passages.
This is a magic door that needs to meet special conditions to be activated.
However, Nasira was already familiar with this.
Without wasting any time, after quickly completing the activation of the magic mechanisms distributed in three different places, the magic door opened in front of the team.
Inevitably, there is another encounter on the opposite side of the Magic Gate.
However, because the first two people to pass through the magic door were Isaac and Kui Lu, there was naturally no loss in this encounter.
The team then all advanced to the West District.
At this time, something happened.
It is connected by a magic gate, rather than a directly connected tunnel. When a large team, including the Formian ants, enters here, the queen ant has maintained synchronized information exchange with them, and the telepathic link , but it was disconnected for the first time.
Fortunately, the Formian ants have always shown absolute order. Even if they lost the direct command of the ant queen, the soldier ants still completely obeyed the command of the ant guards.
However, there is no problem with the Ant Guard's wisdom and cooperation with everyone.
The team then marched towards a hidden space under the leadership of Nasira.
