Chapter 263: Some Explosives
The research on the soul gem will stop here for now. In addition to the lack of materials for experiments, he now has more important tasks waiting for him.
Pushing open the door, Noshiel looked at the three demons who were still on guard. It had been more than ten minutes since they left the weapons pile.
Before, the demon hunter ordered the remaining legions to reorganize their weapons and gather the remaining troops, and only gave them ten minutes. Now the ten minutes have passed, but Noshiel does not want to go back now.
First, even with the strict discipline of the demons, they could not prepare all the weapons in just ten minutes. Second, before they have completely prepared the weapons, or more accurately, before all the gunpowder and explosive barrels that drive the cannons are piled together, Noshiel does not want to rush back.
That's right, gunpowder. This is his plan. He piled up all the gunpowder in the ordnance gathering place, and then ordered all the devils to move these dangerous explosives in an orderly manner through the order of the legion commander. At this time, he suddenly attacked them and ignited all the explosives at once, so as to launch a classic Baldur's Gate 3 explosive attack! This plan is perfect.
Even though the devils have strong resistance to fire damage, the force field damage caused by the gunpowder explosion is definitely enough to make the remaining devils have a good taste. If it is operated properly, only this attack may kill all the remaining devils on the spot!
However, the explosives and various items have not been piled in the right place yet. It will take some time for the devils sent out to besiege the human stronghold to withdraw completely. The number of devils here is not complete now, and it is not a good time to act.
Noshier estimated that it would take at least 20 minutes for the devils to fully prepare all the ordnance, and it would take a long time for the devils that have been surrounding the city to withdraw. In fact, he has begun to doubt whether these devils can come back.
The other members of the team started to act at the same time as him. They had already broken into the enemy camp of the devils more than ten minutes ago. With their participation on the battlefield, the devils participating in the siege would not withdraw so easily. They would definitely suffer heavy losses, and it would take a long time to gather the remaining troops.
During this period, Nohsil's participation was completely unnecessary, so he didn't want to go back, but he thought again, if the losses of the withdrawn devils were too serious, would it directly lead to the collective loss of control of those wise adjutants?
Nohsil felt it was very likely. After all, the devils in hell could not be resurrected after death. Under such conditions, all devils cherished their lives very much. If these wise devils judged that the remaining power was not enough to continue to survive here, who knows what kind of disloyalty these two-five guys would have.
In this case, there must be a devil who can control the situation in the weapons storage area. Someone must stabilize the situation to prevent those wise devil adjutants from mutinying.
Thinking of this, Noshil scratched his chin, and then gave an order directly to the Demon Hunter, asking him to supervise the demons to prepare their weapons and gather the remaining troops.
As the former commander of the 69th Legion, although Lucier's authority has declined to a certain extent, he still has enough ability to control the situation here. In addition to controlling the situation, Noshil also gave him a death order, that is, to ensure that no demon that can fly escapes from this place.
As early as when Noshil negotiated with Lucier before, he knew from the Demon Hunter's mind that there might be some spies planted by other forces in his own legion. After knowing this news, Noshil immediately began to spy on the mind fluctuations of all demons through the crown's mind stealing ability, wanting to see if it was really as Lucier said, that there were really traitors from other places in his legion.
The interesting result is that Noshiel actually found two spies from different places. One of the two spies came from [Dis], and his body was a thorn demon, a devil spy used by the second layer of hell to monitor Zariel's army. The other devil came directly from Zariel's intelligence agency. This little devil usually served as a letter deliveryman, but his real identity was a monitor who was specifically used to confirm whether his army had any signs of rebellion.
Because of the previous order of the hunting demon, the two devils did not choose to leave here at this time. In Noshiel's current perception, they still stayed in the weapons storage area without moving, but if no one went back to manage the group of demons, Noshiel dared to guarantee that they would find an opportunity to pass on the intelligence that happened here to their respective masters in a short time.
The hunting demon who received the order nodded to Noshiel, and then switched to a self-defense mode with a certain degree of autonomy, but completely obeyed Noshiel's orders, and left here directly.
As Noshir watched the demon hunter leave, his thoughts shifted to the time when he had just come to the armory. When his detective thoughts sensed the thoughts of the two spies, the devil from the second level of hell did not react. He was just a little surprised that half of the entire legion had died without them knowing.
But the other devil spy from Zariel was different. When he heard Tavis say that he was the prosecutor sent by Zariel, the little devil was stunned because he had not received any information about the arrival of the prosecutor.
But the interesting thing is that although this sudden accident caught the little spy off guard, he quickly found an excuse for this sudden situation in his heart.
Just like the uncontrolled hunter before, this little devil also suspected that a spy informed the prosecutor of the situation in the other half of the city. Although he had no idea that there was another colleague in the 69th Legion, there was probably no other possibility except this explanation. In fact, think about it, how could he be the only one to do such an important thing?
The little devil thought so.
And for this reason, he had no intention of following the originally agreed plan to inform his immediate superior, Lord Haruman, through some specific emergency contact method. After all, in his opinion, since even the Attorney General had come, it meant that Lord Haruman had already known the information and had already dispatched countermeasures. Wouldn't it highlight his incompetence if he continued to speak after the fact at this time?
