Chapter 346 Battle Situation
‘But even though I said that, I have no idea where Hope County is. ’
Although Noshir has now controlled two legendary devils, Haruman and Ledros, and learned about the secrets of hell that ordinary mortals would never know in their lifetime, this does not mean that he can directly know the location of Raphael's base camp.
His floating city has been floating over Avernus continuously. There are only two ways to enter the castle. Either fly in directly after knowing its specific location, or enter the reception room of Hope County through a specific teleportation array.
The second way is the formal way of visiting, but it is obviously not suitable for Noshir. If he wants to go, he can only use the first stupid way, but that is too time-consuming and laborious, but now he has little time to waste.
‘Although I have controlled Haruman now and have not aroused suspicion from other devils, this kind of stability cannot last long. ’
As a general fighting outside, Haruman’s daily duty is to constantly wander around the battlefields of various parties. Although there are not many demons who are really familiar with him, there are many demons who have seen him. His duties are destined to make him constantly meet various powerful people. One day, he may meet a guy who can find Haruman’s abnormality. In this way, the fact that he is controlled will be discovered sooner or later.
‘And Haruman’s identity is too special. Even if I have controlled him now, I dare not guarantee whether his abnormality has been discovered by Zariel, especially in this situation. In order to catch this guy, the noise I made seems to be a bit too big. The fall of a fortress that has been operating for hundreds of years is a very serious blow even to the demons. Maybe Zariel will come to check it out in person. ’
This possibility is actually not great, but it is not absolutely impossible, because Noshier found the specific battle situation of Avernus in recent times from Haruman’s memory.
In this invasion of Hell, there are three lords on the side of the demons, namely, the King of Gnolls, the bloodthirsty beast Yeenoghu, the King of Horned Demons, the Lord of Beasts, Bafomei, and the Undead Demon Lord, the Blood Lord, Ocus.
There are three demon lords, which is an extremely rare event in the past. The scale of this invasion of the Abyss can be said to be unprecedentedly large. According to the normal logic of war, Zariel must not have time to care about what happened in the rear, but the fact is that the front line of the bloody battlefield has stabilized.
The reason is not that Zariel is so strong that he can fight three people alone and still have the upper hand. Although Zariel in Haruman's memory is indeed beyond common sense, those demon lords are not ordinary people. The real reason for the stability of the battlefield is the discord between the demon lords.
Yenogu and Bafomet had a blood feud that would never end, and they maintained a long-lasting competitive relationship. Under such conditions, their followers were incompatible. When the first wave of attacks was blocked and most of the subsequent support troops were blocked, the two naturally fought each other.
The internal strife on the demon side greatly relieved Zariel's pressure. The only one he had to deal with was the Undead Lord, but a single demon lord was definitely not Zariel's opponent when he was not fighting at home. It is said that in a battle a few days ago, the Undead Lord was severely injured and lost the ability to cause trouble in a short period of time.
And Bafomet and Yenogu also had a real fight. Before they were determined, the war between the two would never stop, which also meant that the current situation did not require Zariel to keep paying attention.
'There was such a big mistake here. If Zariel was lured here, Haruman's controlled state would definitely be seen through by her. Zariel might even follow this clue to lock my position, which would be bad. ’
Nuo Xier’s current strength is not weak. Even if he faces those opponents who are considered legendary in the conventional sense, he has great confidence that he can defeat them. However, it is too early for him to face the Devil Duke.
Unless I get a divine weapon or my professional level can reach level 15 or above, it is better not to meet opponents of that level. This is the judgment made by Nuo Xier.
‘It is better to go back early. If nothing unexpected happens, the fall of the fortress must have reached Zariel’s ears. Although she may not come to check it out in person, there is indeed such a possibility and risk. The sooner you go back, the smaller the risk. ’
Nuo Xier sighed. In fact, these words are just scaring himself. The probability of such a thing happening is not high. After all, it is the front line of a bloody battle. As long as the situation there is not completely settled, Zariel should not leave there without permission.
But it is better to be safe than sorry. What happened here is likely to affect her. After all, she is still too weak. Even if the possibility is small, it will be a disaster that she cannot avoid once it happens. If Zariel is really lured here, it will be a major crisis that will lead to the destruction of the city. She cannot afford to gamble and dare not gamble.
‘However… the two demon commanders in the fortress have been completely killed. After returning, Haruman may be able to unite with the other two legendary devils to resist the demons for a while. Maybe he can wait for strong reinforcements if he persists. If the situation over there can really stabilize, she may have time to find the County of Hope. ’
Noshier sighed again. This hope was not great. The gap he had blown out was too big. It was not so easy to plug it up. However, if he fought hard, he should be able to buy himself a few days. If he could take advantage of this time to pull the entire city out of hell without anyone noticing, it would be even better.
While riding the nightmare at full speed, Noshier silently gave this order to Haruman, hoping that he could really buy himself enough time. Now he really put all his hopes on the angel.
‘I hope that big brother still has enough energy in his body to start a space jump covering the entire city. Otherwise, I can only hope that after the city floats to the astral world, this big brother will use brute force to push it back to the main material plane. But no matter what, the situation will not be that bad. ’
Nosir shook his head and shook off these delusions. Haruman had too much information in his mind, but as an outsider, the more Nosir understood, the more he felt that the water in hell was too deep, so deep that he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
But at the same time, in the distant Baldur's Gate, there was a group of people who had completely different ideas from Nosir.
