Chapter 233 Siege

Noshir: "It's better to believe it than not to believe it, so let's do it the old way. I'll go and find out the situation. If the Supreme Hall is really surrounded, we will think of other ways. If there is a chance, I will come back to tell you."

Ska frowned and asked worriedly.

"There are too many demons this time. Do you really have confidence? What if you are discovered when you investigate too deeply?"

Noshir shook his head and said confidently.

"Don't worry, I am sure. I have unknown infiltration skills."

Even though Noshir said this, everyone's eyes were still worried. Although Noshir had proven his infiltration skills and ability to obtain intelligence before, he was not like a barbarian, which made them stunned, but this time was different.

There were too many enemies. Even among the people present, no one had the confidence to escape unscathed from the siege of so many enemies.

Noshir saw the worries of the people, and in order to dispel their concerns, he continued.

"Don't forget those magic potions. I still have a few bottles of invisibility potion. With this, you don't have to worry."

Advisor Florrick shook his head and said in denial.

"There are many demons who can see through invisibility naturally, but invisibility is not safe. At least that hunter has true vision. You can't hide in front of him."

Noshil thought about it again.

"In addition to invisibility, my appearance is also a huge advantage. Don't worry, it's okay. Even if I am seen, I can rely on the information I have obtained to disguise myself as one of them. In addition, there are no powerful flying units in the demon army. Even if I am discovered, I can fly away directly."

Gero was a little envious.

"What a convenient ability. Gro also wants to be able to fly all the time."

Because Gro had briefly experienced the feeling of flying before, he showed great envy for Noshil's natural wings, while Minsk smiled heroically.

"Ha, I knew that Noshil has always been the bravest! Right, Xiaobu."

"Squeak (squeak of approval)."

"What a crazy behavior."

Everyone exclaimed one after another.

Since Nohsil had said so, everyone could not help but worry. They actually believed in Nohsil's ability. He had shown extraordinary reliability in combat and other aspects before. However, this time he had to sneak into more than 600 devils alone to gather intelligence, which was a bit too outrageous.

The risks faced by mixing in with so many devils were not as light as Nohsil said, which was why everyone was so worried. Although there were means of communication at present, there was a risk of being eavesdropped. There were no professional thieves among them, so gathering intelligence could only be done by Nohsil.

"Put your own safety first in everything, be careful."

The consultant sent the most sincere blessings on behalf of everyone. Nohsil could be said to be the one who contributed the most in this trip to hell. The most difficult tasks were completed by him. Nohsil had earned the respect of all team members with his own actions. Although he had a face and shape similar to that of a devil, in their eyes, this face and appearance could no longer measure his character.

"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."

Noshier said confidently, then left the team and ran towards the direction of the Supreme Hall, starting his solo performance.

After leaving everyone's sight, he immediately put away all the equipment on his body, leaving only the gloves and the crown, and then immediately transformed into a thorn demon, and at the same time took out a set of standard weapons and armor specially made for thorn demons from the space box.

The disguise brought by the crown is perfect and almost impossible to be seen through in a physical sense. Now Noshier is completely a real devil from a physiological level, and even the equipment on his body is no different from that of a devil.

Including gloves and crowns, when he transformed into a devil, these two pieces of equipment also transformed with him. Except for some differences in details, such as the three gems on the crown and the golden lines on the gloves, the general appearance of these two pieces of equipment is completely the same as those standard equipment.

However, these details are not a big deal. As long as he pretends to have a little status, this slight change in equipment will have no effect at all.

Noshiel, who was completely disguised as a thorn demon, kept the crown's thought detection range within five meters. This range can bring out the crown's maximum effectiveness, and there is no need to worry about accidentally encountering some particularly powerful demons who will detect his thought detection.

After completing thorough preparations, Noshiel, disguised as a lieutenant-level demon, swaggered towards the Supreme Hall. Demons of this level have a certain status, but they are not too eye-catching, which is very suitable for sneaking in.

——

The Supreme Hall is a magnificent and snow-white marble castle dedicated to Torm, the god of courage and sacrifice. The castle stands tall and is home to a large number of religious and political leaders of Eltoril - at least when the city was still in the main material plane.

But shortly after Eltoril was pulled into Avernus, a meteor smashed through the Supreme Hall, destroying the offices and residences of those who were best able to organize the city's defense.

Most of Eltoril's leaders were killed by the meteor, but Grand Duke Ravengard from Baldur's Gate and his followers were lucky enough to survive the destruction because they were on the periphery.

Ravengard witnessed the tragedy, including the world spinning upside down. He immediately tried to control the situation after the entire city fell into Hell. Relying on his strong personality, he immediately commanded the remaining troops of Eltoril and made a plan to protect the city.

Ravengard had done his best. He gathered the survivors as soon as the entire city fell into Hell and organized the army to resist the invading demons, but at that time the Abyss Demons had not yet invaded the Nine Hells, and a large number of demon armies were teleported into the city accompanied by the light of Hellfire.

The Hell Knights fought bravely, but the enemies were too numerous, too powerful, and too sudden, so they could not save the eastern part of the city. In the first two days, they could barely resist in the western part. The Duke even assembled troops on the first day and rushed to the eastern half of the city to join the city garrison there, and then withdrew to the west with a large number of survivors, but after that, they directly lost control of 80% of the entire city in just the second day.

All the survivors rescued by the Duke have settled down in the Hell Knight Barracks behind the Supreme Hall Castle. This may be the safest and strongest building left in Eltoril. Not only does it have walls and bunkers, but there is also an astonishing underground area under the barracks, which is enough to accommodate more than 5,000 people.

At that time, most of the civilians stayed in the underground area, while those who could fight stayed in the walls and bunkers above. Relying on the defense measures inside the barracks, and those who did not want to hide and joined the army and continued to bravely fight, they withstood the first few days and withstood the most violent wave of attacks from the Devil Legion.

But they also paid a very tragic price.

Today, most of the Devil Legion has withdrawn from the city for some reasons they don’t know yet. Now there is only one Devil Legion outside the city wall, but they have no power to resist.

Many people died and many were injured.

So much so that a mere understaffed Devil Legion could completely block them.

They are now short of water and food, in danger, and despair almost enveloped everyone.

Maybe in two days, the last resisters in this city will die of hunger, disease and pain. If no miracle happens, they can only die in despair after fighting hard.

That is really a painful way to die.
