Chapter 530: Preparation for War
Nosir immediately contacted Grand Duke Ravengard with the message stone and briefly explained all the events related to the upcoming attack of the Githyanki, so that the warriors could prepare for the battle in advance and not be caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Githyanki.
Thanks to Nosir's previous achievements, Grand Duke Ravengard attached great importance to the information he conveyed. Under the order of the Grand Duke, the entire Flaming Fist Legion divided itself into small teams, showing a rapid mobilization. The entire city quickly entered a state of combat readiness, all the crossbows were strung, and the Iron Guards quickly entered combat positions or key defense nodes.
After confirming that Baldur's Gate was secure in defense, Nosir also turned the horsepower of the submersible to the maximum and rushed to the Gray Port at the fastest speed. He knew that there was a hidden dark shore where this behemoth could be docked in a place called Flame Cargo.
Finally, after speeding through the water for about half an hour, Noshier found the place as he wished, parked the huge aircraft inside, and completed the handover with the Flame Fist who had just controlled the area more than ten minutes ago.
The leader of this group of Flame Fists was Noshier's old friend, Karak. The moment he saw Karak, Noshier opened the hatch and threw Gotash to her.
Noshier didn't say much, but his meaning was very clear, that is, this guy is at your disposal, and the moment Karak saw Gotash, her heart, which had been stabilized by Noshier, actually roared violently again uncontrollably, but when she saw Gotash's miserable state after being punished by Noshier, another strange feeling suddenly swept over her body.
After a long time, Karak felt a sense of peace in her heart. In Karak's heart, the shadow that had been caused by Gotash's betrayal no longer burned her heart as before. She knew that from this moment on, the nightmare that had troubled her for eight years would no longer exist.
She looked at Gotash, who was slowly regaining consciousness after falling to the ground due to Noshir's rough throw just now. Karak's heart was filled with thousands of words. She had countless questions to ask him, asking him why he did that in the first place? But when the words were about to come out, Karak stopped again. She silently commanded her soldiers to put on the magic shackles for Gotash, and then pressed him to the Bodran Sea Tower not far away.
Now is not the time to ask questions, Karak thought in her heart.
After driving away the Githyanki who were attracted by Gotash's trouble, she would have enough time to settle the old accounts with Gotash one by one.
Looking at the calm Karak, Noshir beside him was also relieved by her proper handling of the situation. He was a little worried that Karak would lose control when he saw Gortash. Now it seems that he underestimated her. It seems that the time she spent back in Baldur's Gate has indeed healed many of her traumas.
After Noshir sighed in his heart, he also followed Karak and walked towards the Bodhrán Tower.
He knew that if the Githyanki really arrived here soon, their primary goal would definitely be to take back the Astral Prism, which was in his hands. Considering that the Lich Queen might have some positioning methods that he didn't know, Noshir thought about it and still felt that he couldn't just go into the downtown area.
He couldn't return to his manor, but he wanted to rescue Orpheus, but he had to find a safe enough place to enter the Astral Prism, and the Bodhrán Tower perfectly met these requirements.
It is an isolated island building connected by only a giant bridge. Even the nearest gray port is nearly five or six miles away. It is built on the Jonsa River, far away from the city, and the building itself is a special prison in Baldur's Gate used to imprison the most vicious magic criminals.
Because of this, there is also a very good level of armed force there. The entire sea tower is equipped with more than 300 elite guards. There are more than a dozen newly produced steel guards guarding the bridge and the exits around the sea tower. There is enough security force to protect Noshier from being snatched away by the sudden enemy in a short time after entering the Star Prism, not to mention that if a battle occurs there, it will endanger the city. It can be said that it is the most suitable place to stay at present.
Noshier has already made advance arrangements for related matters, so after he followed Karak to the destination, the warden of the Bodran Sea Tower also prepared the safest and most hidden house for Noshier as soon as possible.
After declining the other help offered by the warden, Noshier waited until all the guards left and took out the Star Prism alone in the room. Following the instructions on the panel, he used his sharp steel fingertips to precisely tap the specific Tisul characters on it, making the Star Prism, which was already emitting yellow light, gradually become more dazzling.
When Noshier repeated the above steps and tapped three sides of the polyhedron object in a loop, at that moment, the Star Prism suddenly struggled to get out of his hand, floated directly in the room, and began to rotate violently. During this rotation, the spikes on the Star Prism also drew white circular arcs with an increasingly faster rotation speed.
Then in the next moment, the Star Prism suddenly disintegrated. At that moment, each side of this polyhedron suddenly expanded a short distance outward, and a silver-white stream of light condensed from the cracks of the prism, forming a circular, shining silver, purple, gray, bright as starlight, and dreamy like a long moon in front of Noshier.
"It's done."
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar portal in front of him, Noshier smiled unconsciously, and then he conducted a series of tests on the portal, including throwing objects tied with ropes into it, pulling them back to see if there were any changes, so as to determine whether there were any dangerous environments on the other side.
The result of the experiment was that everything was safe, and there were no environmental hazards such as magma on the other side, but it was not clear whether there were any creatures waiting for him to enter on the other side.
