Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 27 Counterattack Plan
  I’m cured, what a powerful treatment!

After shaking his wings a little, there was no discomfort at all. The inexplicable power healed the pain perfectly.

Nohir turned back and looked at the handsome human man in front of him. He was the paladin Rufus called Scar, the main protector of their refugee team.

He wore thick and hard plate armor and a robe with the emblem of Eretoril. There were some broken and messy strips of cloth behind him. It might have been a cloak. He looked to be in his 30s, or maybe more than years old. , there was no weapon on him, maybe it was lost during the battle, and there was always a strong sadness between his brows.

"Thank you for your treatment. I am Nohir, Nohir Temariti, a barbarian walking on the road of totem."

"Flying Skywalker, I've heard of you. Personally, I often travel in the outer city and have seen your performance with my own eyes. I have to say it's very exciting."

"Also, maybe you don't know it yourself, but your identity has actually been registered with our Order's Law Enforcement Department. Basically all the paladins in Eltoril know you."

"All in all, you're kind of a celebrity."

When Nohir heard this, he was naturally a little confused.

"Oh, there is a record. Why is that?"

This seemingly old-school, resolute knight actually seemed a little shy after hearing this question. After all, this was really not an honorable thing.

"Well... because of your appearance, someone with purgatory bloodline like you may pose a threat to the citizens. Since the establishment of Eritoril, there has been such a rule secretly circulated among the Knights."

"All mutant purgatory creatures need to be secretly investigated within an unfixed period of time, because their high concentration of devil blood may risk losing control one day, causing huge losses."

"This is the exact words of the Knights, and I am ashamed to say it. I am the one who was assigned to investigate you secretly."

It turned out to be the case.

"Really? Now it seems that the secret accusations about me can be withdrawn."

Nohir didn't care, but smiled freely. He never cared about this kind of harmless suspicion. After all, the knights didn't disturb his life. If you don't trust him, don't trust him.

"Well, you're right."

The two suddenly looked at each other and smiled, then stretched out their arms and shook them hard.

Scar: "Nohir, can I call you Nohir?"

Nohill: "It's okay, please call me whatever you want. By the way, Scar, are you the only professional in this team? Are there any other capable personnel? We need to move as soon as possible."

"...I am the only one left, and this is why I came to you."

Ska sighed deeply, feeling even more incompetent for her own powerlessness.

He has been ashamed of the oath he once made, the oath of dedication solemnly declared in the palace in the past, and even more ashamed of the firm creed to protect Eltoril forever.

The strength of the paladin comes from their firm faith and the oaths they swore to uphold. But at the moment of the city's decline, although he narrowly escaped death because he was mediating disputes for residents in the outer city, he also escaped death because of the city's The fall caused him to lose the pillar of his faith.

Since then, he has lost the power he once had.

But fate did not abandon Scar, and the rage of revenge rekindled him. When he stood on the edge of the disappeared Eritoril, staring at the dark sun above and the dark abyss below, he felt a strong desire for revenge. , let him become a paladin again!

Paladin of Vengeance!
  "I'm sorry that I didn't do anything to help, leaving you to face these dangers alone."

He first solemnly expressed his apology to Nohir. He was truly sorry for this incident. After all, in his opinion, as a paladin who is always on the front line against evil aliens, he was always at the forefront when others were fighting against evil. , but he was imprisoned in the dungeon in embarrassment and unable to participate in the battle. He was sorry for this.

But after apologizing, his serious face spoke to Nohill in a very serious tone.

"But the focus now is no longer to denounce my incompetence or to escape immediately. Nohir, I am very happy that you can kill these devils, and I admire your kind deeds. If Eltori As long as you are here, I will definitely recommend you to the Supreme Supervisor as a model citizen."

"But now we have one more important thing to do than escape, and that is to notify the Lord of the Morning to the main fortress!"    "A large number of devil wanderers have appeared behind the fortress, which is very fatal to the fleeing people. It's dangerous, and we didn't get this information before setting off."

"Continuing to allow these devils to wander behind the fortress is not only irresponsible for the lives of the people, but more importantly, the main fortress of the Dawn has no knowledge of this."

"What if these devils launch some special ritual behind the fortress? No, there is no such thing as that. This is for sure. They must be planning some conspiracy!"

"Because of this, if the main fortress of the Lord of the Morning is lost because of these devils, the consequences will be catastrophic! The devil army can directly cross the fortress and follow the Jonsa River directly to Baldur's Gate. It can be said that along the way There will be no obstruction! By then there will no longer be a safe place in the entire North!"

"So, I know this is very abrupt, but please promise me that you must tell this information to the person in charge of the Fortress of the Dawn, Lord of the Dawn Knight Captain Vased! As long as you successfully convey the information, I believe that the Fortress of the Dawn I will never be stingy with rewards for you!”

Is it because I have wings and I want to use my mobility advantage to convey information?

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to help, but just now, in order to deal with those devils, I have started berserk twice in a short period of time. Now I am severely weak. It will take at least a few hours to resume normal actions. ability."

"And Scar, you also know that the tragedy of Eltoril this time is caused by the devil. If I dare to appear in front of the defenders, just with my appearance and my wings, the defenders of Dawn Fortress will be defeated. It will definitely knock me down the moment I get close."

"..."

Nohill's words are realistic and logical, but now both parties are fighting for time. The devil is urgently planning a conspiracy, but the human defenders have no idea. If this continues, there will definitely be big trouble.

"...Then I can only go by myself. Although it is dangerous, I have to do it. It is time to be loyal to my oath."

His tone was slow but firm, and his broken beliefs seemed to have gathered into an iron wall again. He had already let down one city, and he could never let down another!
  Nohill felt his belief. He had always admired and respected these truly great men, and the situation was far from that bad, so he said to Scar.

"Don't worry about that. I bet the devils' plan has been ruined."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because of this thing."

[Devil Commander's Helmet]
  [+3 Enchanted Armor]

[Enchanting effect: perfect adaptation, commanding the devil, dominating the devil]

[Perfect fit: This helmet was originally specially made for the head shape of the Hell Fiend, but now it can be adapted to be worn by any creature. ]
  [Bafo originally planned to use this helmet that symbolized power to announce his promotion, but in the end because of Raphael's betrayal, the helmet became a joke. After he was demoted to a chain demon, in order to be able to wear this helmet He had to spend a huge amount of money to enchant it to fit perfectly, but because of his previous humiliation, he rarely wore this helmet. ]
  [Command Devils: The wearer of this helmet can communicate mentally with all devils within a five-kilometer radius and perceive their location, but the mental thinking of non-devil wearers will be seen through by other devils at the moment of communication. ]
  [Dominate the devil: This helmet can cast the 5-level devil control spell three times a day. The devil hit by this spell will unconditionally obey the caster for one hour. ]
  This helmet was taken off by Nohir from the waist of the chain demon. It seems that this unlucky guy is the main person in charge of this operation. Not only has the mission failed, but he has died and returned to hell. This helmet has three kinds of enchantments. The rare helmet was also seized by Nohill.

No matter what their plan is now, it will definitely be in chaos when they lose the commander-in-chief, and the plan will naturally come to nothing.

"This helmet is an important tool for their plan. Once worn, it can communicate with other devils. However, non-devils will be seen through when they attempt to communicate."

"My plan is that we stay away from here first, and then let other devils know that the mission failed by wearing this helmet. At this time, they usually have two choices."

"The first is to bring these poor souls back to hell in embarrassment. Under the premise that the mission has failed and valuable tools have been lost, all the devils involved will probably face the risk of being demoted. This is something they cannot bear."

"The second is chasing. The moment I put on the helmet and try to communicate with them, all the devils will probably drop what they are doing and chase me with all their strength."

"And I know a perfectly safe place."

"Go northwest from here. After walking out of the forest, you can see the Jonsa River in the distance. From then on, change the direction and continue walking west. Soon, we will encounter a valley."

"There is a Druid association living there. It is a very safe place. The leader is a great Druid with high moral character and powerful strength. (According to the classification in the game, Harsin should have a full 16 professional levels. )."

"As long as I get there, I will be sure to convince the leader of the druids. With advance preparation, I will be able to annihilate this devil army."
