Chapter 341: Dead
"Stop thinking about it, Tustat, no matter how those demons did it, the facts have already happened, and the failure is irreversible. In this case, it is better to think about how we will deal with Zha in the future. Lord Riel explains."
Nurbaha's words successfully attracted Tustat, which made his brows knit tighter. Anguish and fear all flashed through his narrow, dim eyes. Nurbaha noticed this and immediately An evil thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately turned to Tustat and continued.
"This failure is too tragic. If we don't do well, we may be demoted by Master Zari. I'm okay. Even if we are demoted, we will probably only become ice demons or horned demons, but you may not be sure. , if you do anything wrong, you may even lose your life."
What Nurbaha said is absolutely correct. Although they have now killed a Balor Balrog and using the demon's head can slightly avoid their punishment, someone must bear the responsibility for this failure. The main responsibility lies with Tustat, as the lord of this fortress, and he must bear the blame.
"Put away your clumsy threats, Nurbaha, my value cannot be measured by this mere fortress. Loyalty and wisdom are my most valuable things. Lord Zariel will forgive me for this failure. ”
Tustat saw through Nurbaha's thoughts in an instant. If he guessed correctly, Nurbaha wanted to sell him credit, and he wanted to take advantage of his current predicament!
"Haha, just lie to yourself. I admit that a high-level mage is indeed very valuable, but that is only for me. For a big devil like Grand Duke Zariel, a mere 17th-level mage like you is just that. That way, the Grand Duke will never break the rules of the Nine Hells for you. If you make a big mistake, you must accept the punishment, otherwise the rules will be messed up. I believe you should know the consequences of breaking the rules. "
"..."
Tustat was silent, because Nurbaha was right, the nine hells had their own rules, and Grand Duke Zariel would not forgive any loser. No matter what the reason for the failure, failure was failure.
There will never be a place for the loser in hell. If he wants to survive, keep his current strength, and keep the knowledge in his mind, he must make enough achievements.
"How's it going? How do you think about it? Do you want to sign a contract with me? I can give you most of the credit for killing this Balor Fire Demon, as long as you pay a small price... Haha, Don’t refuse in a hurry, I think you should be able to think of the value of this contribution. Trust me, you will never regret signing this contract.”
While Nurbaha weighed the head in his hand, he directly made up a piece of burning illusory parchment on the spot. Tustat took the contract and did not clearly write down that Nurbaha was willing to give it to him. All credit for this battle was given to Tustat, and as a price, Tustat needed to help Nurbaha complete three things free of charge under any circumstances in the future.
"...The credit is given to me, what will you do yourself?"
"I have my own solution, so you don't have to worry about it."
"..."
Tustat finally signed the contract. He knew that this guy Nurbaha must be full of bad things. Signing this contract with him would not be good in the end, but there was no way. In order to get through this time In a crisis, he must seize every opportunity to improve his survival rate. Yes, survival rate, hell is so cruel.
Nurbaha finally showed a smile. This failure was indeed very irritating. In fact, the legion under his command was already certain to be annihilated, but the contract with Tustat greatly made up for it. loss, because his identity was not loyal to Zariel.
His real master is Bell, the former Grand Duke of Avernus. Grand Duke Bell has been secretly planning to overthrow Zariel's position. Naturally, the same is true for Nurbaha. He signed a contract with Tustat this time. Being bound by this contract means that he has drawn a legendary mage into the camp of Archduke Bell.
Well, it doesn't count as a complete pull-in, but as long as he can make good use of these three opportunities, Tustat will definitely play a huge role in overthrowing Zarrell.
At that time, no matter what Tustat thinks, he will definitely join his side completely. He will also be secretly rewarded by Archduke Bell for this achievement, and the Grand Duke will definitely help him get through this time. Even after the plan is completely successful and Zariel is completely overthrown, he will receive an unparalleled reward!
"Haha, wise choice."
Nurbaha waved his hand gently, and the contract burned up instantly. Then he threw the head in his hand to Tustat. Anzu Demon caught the contract with the giant hand behind his back that could save him. The merits of life.
"Okay, it's time for us to go down. That Haruman guy should be impatient. Hurry up and join him, then retreat to the fortress and organize the army to prepare for a breakout."
It is definitely not possible to retreat in embarrassment now. Retreating Zariel directly will definitely skin them. There is no need for cowards in the Archduke's war band. They must fight back, or at least show that they have fought back fiercely.
Except for those truly valuable troops, they must kill the last person, the last shell, and the last bottle of gunpowder in this fortress. Only by bringing the greatest possible damage to the demons, can the two demons, no, the three demons, retreat. Only after fighting back vigorously, can they have the confidence to accept Zariel's call.
"Let's go."
Tustat responded to Nurbaha, and then flew towards the battlefield below. They went to find Haruman. However, it was very strange that when they came to the battlefield where Haruman and the wolf snake demon fought, they could not find any trace of Haruman at all!
This abnormal phenomenon gave Nurbaha and Tustat a very strong ominous premonition in an instant. They couldn't help but guess, could it be that Haruman lost in the fight with the wolf snake demon? Was he killed? Or even...
No! This is impossible!
No matter who died among the three of them, Haruman would not die. With the Nightmare King, his ability to save his life can be said to be the strongest among them. They must not have looked carefully enough.
Tustat immediately used divination to determine whether Haruman was dead or alive. He was relieved to find that Haruman was still alive. However, when he used prophecy to check Haruman's location, the spell suddenly failed and he could not accurately locate his specific location.
Tustat, who did not believe in evil, then used detection and legend respectively. Detection also failed and did not give Tustat the exact location of Haruman. However, legend told him that a big battle took place in this area just five minutes ago.
Tustat followed the information and found the decapitated body of the wolf snake demon. Even though it was dead, the body was still so outstanding. Legend did not lie to him, but!
"It's over. We are dead."
