Chapter 275 The Duke's Will

Noshir first learned from Scar what happened here during his absence.

A few hours ago, when Noshir was trying to use his unique advantages to wipe out the remaining demons, Scar and his team were not idle either.

In the early stage of the entire operation, they took advantage of the demon army's unpreparedness and suddenly joined the battlefield from the side and rear, crippling the remaining demon formations with thunder-like actions, forcing them to retreat to the base camp pitifully.

After that, when they received the information passed by Tavis, they spent a considerable amount of time cleaning up the hidden threats around the military camp.

In this process, Minsk contributed the most. Whether before or after, in order to ensure the success of the plan when dealing with the demons, he not only turned on the rage, but also asked Scar to bless him with the acceleration spell. It was for various reasons that the group of demons fled so thoroughly.

And he was not idle when he was cleaning up the mess afterwards. It was because of such busyness that this physical monster fell to the ground exhausted. The reason why the consultant drove Minsk away was just to make him not force himself.

Afterwards, Noshil looked at Grand Duke Ravengard. Noshil was actually very curious. They had been in Hell for more than a day, and after most of the dangers were eliminated, the consultant should have had time to use meditation to restore his spell slots, which meant that the Grand Duke should have been able to leave this mud pit long ago, but now he was still here.

The Duke saw his doubts, and just when he wanted to explain, Scar answered Noshil's question on behalf of the Duke. With Scar's explanation, Noshil also understood why the Duke had not left yet, and cast a look of admiration at the Duke.

Urd Ravengard, as the supreme leader of Baldur's Gate, actually had no reason to worry about the life and death of the city. The fundamental reason why he took over the supreme command when the city fell and led people to fight against the demons was nothing more than the situation.

Now the city is temporarily safe. It stands to reason that he has done his best to achieve this. Even if he leaves now, others will not say anything. But when Advisor Florrick wanted to persuade the Grand Duke to leave, Urd took the initiative to refuse, saying that he could not abandon these soldiers who trusted him and escape alone at this moment. That would insult the surname of Ravengard. If he really did that, he would live in shame from now on.

"You want me to abandon my guards, my comrades, and my comrades who fought with me, and let me evacuate from this crisis alone? Old friend, you should clearly understand that this is impossible."

The Grand Duke said so, and Advisor Florrick wanted to persuade him, because the situation of Baldur's Gate at this time was not optimistic. Although it was still stable overall, Baldur's Gate lacked a backbone. As long as the backbone was gone, Baldur's Gate would not be at peace. This backbone was the Duke.

But even though the Grand Duke has learned about the current situation of Baldur's Gate, his thoughts have not changed at all. It is better to say that he is more at ease.

Duke Van Sampler's betrayal is indeed heartbreaking, but now that this biggest venomous snake has been exposed, the threat she can bring is naturally greatly reduced. The arrested Van Sampler can no longer make any waves, and without this biggest threat, the murder believers who have been raging in Baldur's Gate are no longer a concern.

Those guys are stubborn. Although their existence has always brought endless pain to the city, this kind of small fight is not enough to subvert Baldur's Gate. In addition, the Duke knows that even if he goes back, he can't help the current situation. In this case, it is better to focus all attention on the current danger.

No, it's not right to say that. At least now the description of danger is no longer appropriate. At this time, everyone has made extraordinary progress, and there are many powerful allies around them, including two legendary heroes. This gives the Grand Duke hope, and not just the hope of saving Eltoril.

The Grand Duke knew that although he was inexplicably involved in this dangerous situation, danger also meant opportunities. The Duke was sure that if Eltoril could really return to the main material plane, then with this experience, the problems that had been bothering him before might be completely solved.

Because of his and everyone's activeness, if this incident could really end, Eltoril, who returned to the main material plane, would become the most solid ally of Baldur's Gate, not to mention the group of heroes surrounding him now. The Grand Duke even felt that he was witnessing the birth of a legendary story. He certainly didn't want to leave. What was the point of that except to increase the infamy?

Although staying in hell would only take various unknown risks, the Duke was willing to take a gamble. The most important thing was that the Duke didn't think he would lose the gamble.

Nosher was naturally unaware of the Duke's specific thoughts, but this did not prevent him from applauding the Duke's brave behavior.

You have to know that Hell is not a tourist attraction. This hell is extremely dangerous, especially in Hell where the bloody battle of the abyss is taking place. Maybe a huge meteor will fly straight towards this place in the next moment, and then blow up everyone in the city.

As the highest leader of Baldur's Gate, the Grand Duke dared to risk his life to continue staying here. Such behavior cannot but make people admire him.

After that, when Noshier finally figured out the key information during this period, everyone finally returned to the topic and began to discuss the next steps and directions.

Although the city was temporarily liberated at this time, it did not mean that everything was over. There were still a lot of problems facing everyone, including but not limited to collecting food, finding drinking water sources, accommodating the wounded, collecting the bodies of the dead, and finding survivors scattered around the city.

These problems must be solved as soon as possible. If there is a slight delay, it may affect the current precarious stability of the city. However, thanks to the actions of Noshier and his team, the biggest threat in the city has now been completely resolved.

They now have plenty of time to solve these problems step by step, so everyone quickly turned the topic of the meeting to a more serious topic, that is, about the subsequent life and death of the city.
