An Ordinary Fantasy Adventure in the Continent of Faerun

Chapter 232 Blockade

Noshier and his party began to move. After clearing the devil army in the eastern half of the city, they immediately ran towards their original destination through one of the chains.

These chains are very wide and pulled straight. Although the main purpose of these chains is to maintain the stability of the city and prevent too many people from dying in the city's overturning or earthquakes, they now serve as the only bridge for non-flying creatures to travel between the two cities.

At present, the entire city is like an inverted triangular cone, and the triangular cone is also split into two halves. The plane of the triangular cone, that is, each half of the upper city, has four chains. These chains passively pulled the entire city to the east and west after the city split. If there were no two chains in the middle to fix it, the entire city would have overturned long ago.

But thanks to these two chains and the rock layers under the city that are pressed together, these two conditions make the current city barely in a very dangerous dynamic stable state. Except for earthquakes caused by occasional friction of the rock layers below, there is almost no possibility of other natural disasters.

Although frequent earthquakes are already very bad.

Noshir grabbed Ander and took him across the unprotected cableway. As a battlefield craftsman, Ander's skills were not very good. If Noshir didn't help him, it would be difficult for him to cross these chains by himself.

In fact, let alone him, except for Leon and Jandel who focused on agility, it was difficult for others to guarantee that they would never fall off this chain bridge without any protection.

Noshir had to make two more trips to transport Scar, who was wearing heavy armor, and Gro, a veteran half-orc with the Flame Fist who was also wearing heavy armor, was cast with the flying spell by the consultant. Scar was not brought to save a third-ring spell slot, and Gro was brought to save time for round trip.

Lulu, as a holy flying elephant, can fly by herself, and Tavis, as a sorcerer, used the innate ability [Star Shift Step] given to him by his sorcerer master to teleport instantly. As a succubus, Loswell was born with wings and can fly, but she has almost no ability to carry people.

Leon and Jandel, one is a monk with agility, the other is a wood elf, and also a magic archer with agility. They stepped on these chains very gracefully and easily.

Minsk's profession is a ranger. Although he is a rare power ranger hunter, and looks huge and clumsy, this is just an illusion. His agility is also not low, and he can easily pass this dangerous bridge without the help of others.

The group passed the cableway smoothly without any accidents. Although the cableway is currently pulled very straight, if the rock strata under the city rub against each other and an earthquake occurs, even a professional with agility can easily fall down. Fortunately, they are not so unlucky.

Scar: "I know the way here. We will reach the Supreme Hall soon. According to Noshir's information, there should still be a lot of resistance in the western half of the city. The Hell Knights and the City Guard are all here, but even so, the specific situation here is definitely not optimistic."

Minsk: "Don't worry, Paladin, Minsk will defeat them! Just like before, these devils are like crispy cookies, just break them in half with a light bend!"

Noshir: "It won't be as easy as before, Minsk, there are too many devils here, and they are all gathered together. We must be careful."

Florick: "Noshir is right. I have calculated that we killed less than 400 devils in total when we cleared the eastern half of the city. Because most of these devils are very scattered, we can easily defeat them one by one, but here our original plan is useless. . "

Ander: "I have great confidence in the Iron Guards, but the physical fitness and vitality of the demons are far superior to those of mortals. Once these demons form a battle formation with sufficient numbers, even we cannot defeat them as easily as before, and the demon army must have siege weapons. The Iron Guards are very hard, but it is difficult to withstand the crossbow made of hell iron. "

Noshier: "So we must first get in touch with the local defenders, but according to my perception, the number of demons in the Supreme Hall is extremely large, about 600, nearly 700 demons exist, we can't just go there directly. "

Florick: "And Master Jahira, she arrived in hell one step earlier than us, but I can't contact her with magic now. "

In hell, any information transmitted by any communication spell will be captured by the demons in some way. This is the information provided by Scar, and why does Scar know this? Because this is a legend that has been passed on by word of mouth among the Hell Knights for hundreds of years.

The reason why the Knights of Hell were called the Knights of Hell was because they once entered Hell under the leadership of an angel. Unfortunately, the information about the angel recorded within the Knights was very incomplete, and even the specific name did not appear. However, historical records also recorded that under the brave leadership of the angel, the advance process in the early stage of the war was invincible, and those demons simply had no match in front of the Knights' charge.

However, in the later stage of that war, the knights did not realize this fatal problem, which directly led to the fact that when the battle was deadlocked, all the tactics sent out by the communication spell were captured and known by the demons, which laid the groundwork for the failure of the Knights.

After the Hell Knights failed, they accidentally discovered this during the post-war review. Since then, this information has been circulating within the Knights. Scar had told all of them before coming.

Although Consultant Florrick had doubts about this legend, she told Jaheira the news long before the operation to be on the safe side, and did not use the communication spell to contact Jaheira even once after the operation began.

Noshier: "The consultant is right. Master Jaheira is very strong. If we can find her and tell her the information we have now, we can try to decapitate the high-level devil. As long as we can successfully control the so-called legion leader devil, we will definitely get more information and our chances of success will be greater."

Florick: "This is indeed a huge advantage. In this case, I still have a way to contact Master Jaheira."

"I can try to contact her now. With just a few words, we can build a reasonable tactic. Of course, you know the risks."

Noshier: "It's better not to do this. We were in the east before. If we don't find the Master's traces, then the Master must be in the west. At most, we just need to spend some time to explore the location. This is not difficult for me. There is no need to contact him rashly at the risk of being monitored. "

Florick: "After all, is it possible that the information provided by Scar is true? I have never heard of any spell that can monitor the communication of an entire world. Is this really possible?"

Noshir: "The teleportation spell cannot be used in the other eight layers of hell. Moreover, according to the information I have obtained, it should not be difficult for the Lord of the Nine Layers of Hell to do this. There is a pathological order in the world of demons. This kind of tough control is the necessary condition for the Lord of the Nine Hells to maintain his rule. "
