Chapter 459 Discussion
At this point, Karak's expression began to become a little depressed. Compared with Noshir, she felt that she was such a failure. He was alone and could accomplish such a series of incredible feats in less than two days.
Defeating the Chosen One, thwarting the conspiracy of the Undead Army, killing the Super Giant Monster, and even seizing an artifact, these things would be regarded as jokes and stories by the devil even in hell, but these things are real and not false.
Compared with herself, she obviously had the help of friends and the army around her, but she still let her enemy run away, did not kill Gotash, and even did not completely destroy his forces, let him take away some of her confidants, and did not let him have time to recuperate.
This is undoubtedly a very bad thing, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to accept that Gotash could escape so easily in her hands. Although the combat effectiveness of that bastard is not high, he has never been stingy in investing in his own safety.
Eight years ago, when Gotash had made countless enemies in Baldur's Gate because of malicious business competition, he hired me to be his bodyguard.
Kara still remembers what happened to her. At that time, she didn't know the details of Gotash. She just heard from Little Finger that a big businessman with too much money to spend was in trouble and wanted to recruit a burly and powerful bodyguard to protect his personal safety.
At that time, she didn't care what kind of person Gotash was. She just heard that the salary of this job was extremely rich, so she participated in the registration without thinking.
In order to ensure that the bodyguards have enough strength, Gotash's selection method is to bring all the competitors to a black boxing venue in the lower city of Baldur's Gate, so that everyone can start a big fight in a small underground space. Only the final winner can get the job from him.
At that time, in order to get the salary, she defeated all the competitors alone with bare hands, and when she really won the job, she was even happy for several days!
Because in my opinion at that time, this job not only had enough pay, but most importantly, it was very decent.
‘…I was such a fool at that time. ’
Karak shook his head with some relief, dispelling the past that he couldn’t bear to look back on, and then continued to talk to Noshir.
“…In short, I’m sorry, Noshir, I disappointed you. Compared with you, I…”
“Don’t say that, Karak, we don’t need to say such things. The word “disappointment” is said by the boss to the subordinate, but the relationship between us should not be so superficial.”
Karak smiled slightly, as if she was moved by Noshir’s words, but then she continued to respond.
"...Maybe you are right, Noshir, but I don't think I am being so serious because I am making a fuss. I am sure that the guy who is more cunning than the drow must have prepared many safe hiding places in advance. Yesterday's operation was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I missed that opportunity and I want to catch him again later..."
"There will be a chance, Karak."
Noshir interrupted Karak's unconfident words, and the confidence in his words also dissolved Karak's pessimism and panic.
"Don't worry, and don't deny your previous efforts. Although your actions yesterday did not defeat the culprit Gotash, it definitely dealt a very serious blow to the forces under his command. Now it is no longer him who has the advantage and initiative, but us."
"Next, we just need to find his current hiding place, and that guy's comfortable days will be over. With our current strength, as long as we can find his hiding place, we can easily annihilate him in one fell swoop, so don't worry."
These words are not just Noshier's wild words to comfort Karak, but his true thoughts. After all, at this point, the main brain and the crown have been planted in his hands, and Gotash's biggest trump card is gone.
Without this thing that can subvert the world, even if he shows up again to make trouble, he can't stir up any waves, but will expose his position to Noshier. From this point of view, Noshier really wants that guy to do something quickly and show up.
"...You're right, let that bastard clean his neck and wait! Karak will definitely take revenge! He won't be so proud for a few days!"
Looking at Karak who was fully revived after just a few words, Noshier couldn't help but smile. He knew that this strong girl couldn't easily fall into the ocean of negative emotions.
The experience in hell has tempered her heart and will. As long as she is given a little time to adjust her state, she will still be the champion warrior who has won every battle and the devil nemesis!
After Karak calmed down a little, Noshier continued to speak to the two people in front of him.
"Okay, okay, restrain yourself, Karak, now it's time to talk about business."
"Oh! Yes! Sorry~ I'm a little too excited."
Noshier shook his head, indicating that he didn't care, and then turned to Ska on the side and said.
"I have almost learned everything about what happened on your side through Mizora. Generally speaking, I am quite satisfied with the efficiency of the operation here."
Baldur's Gate's attack on the Death Triad cult is definitely very good overall. There is really nothing wrong with this. Given the current political environment within Baldur's Gate, and the fact that Duke Ravengard has not really returned, the Flaming Fist's actions can be so efficient, and they can actually raid several important locations in just two days, so fast that they don't even have time to transfer the main force. This is really worthy of praise.
However, from this perspective, Baldur's Gate may have really suffered from the murder cult for a long time. Out of hatred for these cult lunatics, this is why, with everything ready and knowing the enemy's hiding place clearly, they launched such a fast and fatal attack on the murder cult underground without thinking.
"However, although your actions were swift and powerful, and they also achieved a lot of strategic significance, the two sects lost a large number of personnel, materials and territory, which is definitely a serious loss."
"But there is one thing that needs special attention. Whether it is the sect of the God of Tyranny or the sect of the God of Murder, the degree of the blow dealt to them by the Flame Fist can be regarded as a serious injury, but it is definitely not safe from now on, because the leaders of these two sects have not been killed."
"According to the information I got from Catheric Som, these two people are both one of the chosen ones of the three gods of death. Although they have experienced such a tragic defeat, as long as their gods do not withdraw their favor, they are still qualified to make a comeback."
