Chapter 398 Convincing Allies
They are spiritual penetraters and devourers of thoughts. They can arbitrarily modify and deceive the perceptions and memories of other creatures. They prefer to use tiny subconscious hints to subtly influence their dreams, urging those affected beings to move in a direction that is beneficial to the mastermind. in the direction of its grand plan.
Even if you encounter a strong-willed resister who can ignore his subconscious suggestions, the mastermind can directly send out an overwhelming blast of psychic energy to destroy the spirit of this pretentious person and turn him into a person who cannot think and drools. 's body.
With so many powerful enemies gathered together, even Nohill was not sure he could defeat them all head-on.
If he wants to defeat such a powerful enemy, the only thing he can do is to unite all the forces that can be united under the same flag, such as the Flame Fist, the Harpers and the Hell Knights, as he has done in the game before. Only in this way can we achieve final victory.
——
Nohill moved very quickly, or maybe it was because of the commotion that he found the person he was looking for without much effort.
So when the sky was just getting dark, everyone gathered in the supreme hall that had been partially repaired.
"...That's pretty much it. Representatives, as well as the Duke of Ravengard, all the assassins who attacked Lord Nohir have been captured. This information has also been verified, and its accuracy can be ensured. Very soon. Unfortunately, we have only just experienced a short period of stability, and the new enemy has already accumulated strength not far from home and is ready to go. "
Priest Lu Xiuite said this to the Grand Duke of Revenga and the other two representatives. The three people who heard the news also frowned directly. Among these three people, the most distressed was Revenga. The Grand Duke of Germany.
According to the available intelligence, the primary target of that group of cultists has been determined to be Baldur's Gate. He never expected that he would encounter such a thing at this time. It was obvious that he had just been unlucky enough to be swept into the Gate some time ago. He fell into hell, but not long after he came back, he encountered another bad news, and this time the incident was specifically targeted at Baldur's Gate!
"Ben Shaba must have looked at me several times during this period, so that I would encounter such unlucky things one after another."
As Ravengard spoke, he pressed the thumbs of his hands against each other. This gesture imitated the holy symbol of the goddess of misfortune, in order to pray to the moody goddess to take away the bad luck.
Nohir on the side also raised his eyebrows. Now that he thought about it carefully, what the Grand Duke said seemed to be true. Regardless of the original history or the current history, his experience seemed to be the same unlucky one.
Either he has just entered the tiger's den, or he has entered the wolf's den again. The continuous occurrence of such unlucky things is enough to be called unscientific. Even if the Grand Duke is really looked at by the goddess of misfortune a few times, it is possible.
"This is indeed very difficult news, and it happens to happen at this time. The three gods of death want to cause trouble to the world at this time, but we don't have enough troops to stop them."
The noble representative, Marquis Fernando, said this, and what he said was indeed the truth.
After experiencing the previous hell war, Eltoril's Knights of Hell, which once had more than 2,000 members, also suffered heavy losses. Nearly 300 of the 500 elite paladins were killed in the initial battle. More than half of the more than 1,500 elite knights were also killed in the battle. The remaining half were also injured, and some were even severely disabled.
Now these disabled Hell Knights have been honorably retired and have received the best treatment together with other injured soldiers. However, except for these retired soldiers, it will still take a long time for other ordinary soldiers to completely restore their combat effectiveness.
Originally, they still had 500 elite knights as reserves, but these surviving reserve hell knights left Eltoril a month ago, and they took on the responsibility of leading the surviving people to escape.
This is the right choice. None of the representatives present will blame them. Moreover, after hearing about Eltoril's return, many knights have begun to return to the Holy City. However, the journey to escape is long. It consumes even more energy. It is impossible to expect this group of strong reinforcements to come back in a short time. Without this group of viable forces as a supplement, Eltoril now has almost no power to fight.
"It is true that the existing knights can only barely guarantee the safety of citizens, but just for this reason, do we have to turn a blind eye to the threats that are right in front of us?"
As a representative of the civilians, the paladin Alistair immediately rejected Marquis Fernando's conservative statement, but Fernando's concerns did exist, and the surrounding areas of Eltoril were not without threats.
In fact, in the territory ruled by Eltoril, there has always been a land close to the Shadow Curse Land, and in that land cursed by the Dark Goddess, there are often some Shadow Curse undead creatures running from it. Come out and attack the surrounding towns.
The existence of the Hell Knights is to deal with these undead creatures. Whenever an undead appears, the Hell Knights will ride their war horses to carefully inspect the areas where the undead creatures are found, and at the same time eliminate the source of danger. But with their current strength, even It is also very difficult to do this.
Even a three-year-old child knows that if danger is found around the home, it must be eliminated as soon as possible. Duke Fernando naturally understands this truth, but it is understood, but the real key is that their current strength really does not allow them to do so.
In the case that both sides have their reasons, the two sides quarreled, and the priest Luxiute, as the representative of the temple, did not know how to stand at this time. The old priest who had never been involved in politics in his life before only felt that both sides were very reasonable, but it would be a bit difficult for him to choose one side to support.
And just at this time.
"As a person who has experienced the suffering of this city, I understand your difficulties, but I still want you to listen to me."
Ravengard interrupted the farce on the scene, and then said to the people in front of him very seriously, and the three representatives also stopped bickering temporarily, and all put on a posture of listening attentively.
"Based on the current information, we can now be very sure that the opponent is the legendary, the elect of the three gods of death, and the elect of the three gods of death who have united."
The Grand Duke once again scanned the crowd very seriously.
"This is a rather scary concept. Every time an evil god's conspiracy appeared in history, it was accompanied by serious casualties. The alliance between the three gods of death is likely to cause unparalleled horrific consequences."
"And this time they also dragged the mind flayer, the most dangerous species in the main material plane, to stir up trouble. This means that the threats we may face in the future may be much greater than we imagined. So I hope you can carefully examine it before making any decision. If you indulge them and ignore them, what serious consequences may be caused?"
