Chapter 345 Alternatives
"You contacted me immediately after that? This is really... thrilling, but you said that the attacker was a Kanbiong? Are you sure? You should understand what this means, right? If this information is false , then you are trying to provoke the two princes..."
"One! There is only one Grand Duke of Avernus! Don't let me hear any more disrespect from you, Tustat."
"...Of course, Haruman, I'm sorry, but please continue to answer my question. You should understand the seriousness of this matter, right?"
"Maybe I'm depraved, but I'm not bad enough to lie about this kind of thing."
Tustat nodded clearly, and there were constant thoughts in Anzu Mo's narrow eyes. Is this really an attempt by Archduke Bell to overthrow Grand Duke Zariel? No, that's not possible.
Hell has its own rules. Under normal circumstances, the other eight Grand Dukes except Asmodeus can control the situation in their own ranks. But once faced with such a major event as a demonic invasion, no matter who has the smallest intentions, They must be put away firmly.
Resisting demons is the devil's duty, and it is the duty given to all devils by Asmodeus. If this is really done by Archduke Bell, he is challenging the authority of Asmodeus and the authority of the King of Hell! That means….
‘He’s looking for death! Once this kind of thing is exposed, even if he was once the Grand Duke of Avernus, he can't save him! Asmodeus can easily pull him down from his position as Duke, but this does not mean that he can only do this, challenge the authority of the King of Hell... Damn it! Crazy, really crazy! ’
This kind of mutual love between the top figures made Tustat feel chilly in his heart. He didn't want to speculate in that direction, but what happened in this hour did reveal a strong conspiracy from beginning to end.
And listening to Haruman's self-report, if he hadn't been lucky enough to use his out-of-control mount to pull away the powerful enemy, then Haruman, who had an arm broken off and all the weapons and armor on his body had been almost destroyed, was absolutely Can't survive!
And once Haruman really dies, it means that Haruman has been silenced. If Haruman does not survive, it is absolutely impossible for him to know who the attacker is in a short period of time.
Although Tustat was confident that he could find out the truth of this matter by himself if he was given time, Haruman was the highest status among the three of them. If he died, it would mean that he and Nu Erbach will die too! Enraged, Zariel won't give them a chance to investigate! And without knowing the truth and the reason, the two people will only become props for Zariel's anger!
‘…This is true. ’
The cold feeling in his heart was even worse. Tustat looked at Haruman in front of him with a very lucky look. He was so lucky that you were still alive!
"Xu, I understand. When I first met you, I was thinking that I could take you back to gather morale while the two commanders on the demon side were beheaded, and stay in the city for a while, but now it seems that this It is necessary to report the matter to Master Zariel quickly. Compared with such a big thing, the gains and losses of this line of defense are not so important... By the way, that wolf snake demon..."
Haruman directly took out the head of the wolf-snake demon. After seeing this thing, Tustat immediately showed an excited smile.
"Haha, it's great that you still have this thing in your hand! Having this thing can prove that we have killed two legendary demons, one of which is the agent of the lord of hell like the Wolf Snake Demon. Although it still cannot make up for the destruction of the fortress, it happened for a reason after all. "
"With the heads of these two demons and that piece of information, we will definitely be able to gain Lord Zarrell's forgiveness. Even after we lead the legion to recover this lost land, maybe our power will be even greater. !”
"Let's go, I'll take you away from here. The guy who attacked you over there should have anti-reconnaissance tools on him. I can't be sure when he will come back. It's still not safe here. Let's go meet Nurbaha first."
While Tustat was alert to the surrounding movements, he grabbed Haruman with his hand and started teleportation. Although using teleportation for a severely injured number like Haruman would cause a serious load on his body and may even cause his death. The injury has worsened, but I can't care so much now.
…
Nohir, who was already far away, sensed everything that had happened before. It seemed that this rhetoric of nine truths and one falsehood was indeed perfect. Tustat was completely deceived and even began to suspect that the attack was related to Bell.
‘Ha, I’m so embarrassed to have been shouldered such a big blame for no reason. ’
Nohill apologized to Bell without sincerity in his heart, and then continued to gallop on the nightmare horse. Nohill, who had the pair of spurs, was still able to control the fierce horse.
The crown's ability allows Nohir to avoid most dangers, and the nightmare moves faster than Nohir's flying speed. The combination of the two directly increases his speed on the road.
But even with this good horse, it will take at least 4 to 5 days to return to Eltoril from now on. The journey is still very far and cannot be reached in a short while. During this time, he You can think carefully about what to do next.
‘Should I put all my money on that angel? Bet that the angel is still able to activate the phase shift device? But if that’s the case, then I can go back now. But if I feel that this is still not safe enough, then I have to do something more. But what can I do now? ’
Noshil fell into thought.
‘In addition to the angels, Gargos also said that he has the ability to pull the city back to the main material plane. He is bound by the contract and has no ability to lie. Maybe I can release this guy before that. ’
‘But angels and demons are like water and fire. If I release Gargos first, then even if I rescue the alien god servant later, he may have a gap and even fight me directly. ’
‘My appearance is already devilish enough. If there is really a legendary hell demon around me, I can’t imagine what will happen then. ’
Noshil shook his head helplessly and gave up the idea of releasing Gargos first.
He now has the ability to destroy the shield in the most stupid way, as he secretly controls a hell factory. However, that would be time-consuming and laborious, and violently breaking the seal might reduce Gargauth's power, and would directly result in the loss of a legendary shield, which is not worth it.
'But if I can get that hammer, the Hammer of Orpheus, I will have the ability to break his seal at any time. By then, if the angels really cannot send the city out of hell, I will have a backup option. '
