Chapter 919: Prologue to the End of Neverwinter
Neverwinter Academy, the pride of Neverwinter, is a comprehensive school willing to open its doors to civilians to teach all kinds of knowledge, magic, and martial arts.
Although the number of students recruited has been small due to the scarcity of teachers, there are still many people who flock to it.
Most importantly, the academy has nurtured a steady stream of talents for the Nasir lords.
Although the academy has now been forced to close after the double blow of the plague and the riots, the best parts of it have been preserved: a dozen experienced teachers and dozens of graduating students.
Standing on the basement floor of Neverwinter Castle, Erebeth was looking at the young men who were still willing to serve the Lord of Nasir with a hint of relief in his eyes.
After all, being betrayed by the people of the entire city would be a huge blow to all descendants, including the Lord of Nasir, both psychologically and physically.
If it weren't for the fact that Neverwinter Castle had always had food stored for the war, it is estimated that there would be no second choice at all except for the gloomy departure of the disgraced face.
Because the sinister Zhang Cheng completely cut off the food supply to the Neverwinter Castle, no merchants and citizens were willing to sell the already very scarce food to a group of losers who had been ordered to be expelled.
However, with the arrival of the Waterdeep Mission and the imminent completion of the plague antidote, Erebeth is confident that he will be able to turn his defeat into victory and regain the support of the people of Neverwinter.
Just as she was about to say something to those students who were full of expectations, a strong wave of spatial energy suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Immediately after that, one portal after another was opened, and countless goblins rushed out of it, and without saying a word, began to slaughter the students who had not yet reacted.
What's even more terrifying is that behind the goblins, there are also several masked human spellcasters.
The latter is the real threat compared to the former, which can only cause trouble and destruction, and in just a few seconds, they have used spells to disrupt the entire underground hall.
"Calm down, take up your arms, kill these intruders!" reminded Erebeth as he snapped out his sword and joined the fight.
As a paladin who believes in the god of justice, she has fought many spellcasters in the evil camp, and knows that the best way to deal with mages is not to be afraid, and even if they are injured, chase after their enemies to attack frantically, and make sure that they cannot chant incantations without distractions.
You should know that whether it is magic that reflects damage or magic that completely protects against physical attacks, it generally doesn't last too long.
Once this kind of magic is gone, it's time to fight back.
It has to be said that Erebeth de Timarand is indeed an excellent melee professional who understands his strengths and weaknesses.
In the blink of an eye, she slashed the two masked mages to the ground.
As for those timid goblins, they had already been slaughtered by the students and teachers who had reacted, leaving only corpses everywhere and the strong smell of blood in the air.
But before they could catch their breath, a bloodied guard rushed in from outside, shouting, "Ma'am! the entire basement is full of goblins and intruders of unknown origin! ”
"What?!" Erebes' face changed drastically, and he immediately ran wildly in the direction of the exit.
She couldn't believe that at this critical moment, there was such a huge mistake.
Without the magical creatures sent by Waterdeep, the plague antidote would not have been made, and the plague antidote would not have been able to regain the trust of the people, let alone regain the rule of Neverwinter.
In addition, according to the information provided by the Harperist Alliance, the powerful Luskan in the north is also beginning to move, and it may start a war in the south at any time.
Due to Zhang Cheng's interference, the situation of Neverwinter can be described as a miserable moment, and the slightest carelessness will fall into the abyss.
However, as is often mentioned in many stories, even a strong castle cannot withstand an attack from within.
When Erebeth reached the exit, he saw his fiancé Vanswick and Deszel battling several mages and goblins, while the magical creatures from Waterdeep were teleported away by another mage.
"No !!!!!"
Seeing the destruction of the antidote to the plague that was about to succeed, her brain was suddenly dominated by anger, and she rushed forward with an arrow, brandishing her long sword like a god of war, and slashed all the remaining enemies with three strikes and five divisions, leaving not even a single living mouth.
In particular, the large amount of blood stained by the armor on his body made this holy warrior who should have been calm and wise full of a sense of disobedience.
"Erebeth, are you alright?" Vanswick noticed, and hurriedly called his fiancée's name.
"Of course I'm fine!It's the whole of Neverwinter!Quick!Quick!We must find the whereabouts of those four creatures at once!" Erebeth snarled in exasperation.
I don't know why, she always feels that there is a raging fire in her heart, and she can't control her emotions.
Deszaire on the side undoubtedly noticed this, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, flashing a hint of imperceptible playfulness, and immediately echoed: "That's right! We must recover the antidote! However, the people of Neverwinter are not friendly to us at the moment, and I suggest that it is best to hire the students of those houses to complete this task." ”
"Hire a cadet?" Vanswick froze.
"Yes, hire the students! Many of them have already met the graduation requirements, and it's time to contribute to Neverwinter. I believe that as long as the remuneration is high enough, there should be no objection. Deszaire explained, pretending to be serious.
Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.
"Makes sense! I'm going to talk to those students right now!"
Unaware of a great conspiracy, Erebeth turned around and returned to the castle to find the students who had survived the accident.
Shortly after she left, Deszel took Vanswick's hand and said in a low voice, "My dear friend, I don't know if you have noticed, Erebeth's mood has been a bit abnormal lately, and she will go astray sooner or later." ”
"No! Erebeth will not fall! She is the most devout believer in the God of Justice, just like me. It's just that recently, the pressure on her has been too much, so she will be more impatient. Believe me, she'll be back to normal soon when things calm down. Vanswick defended his fiancée.
"Hey, well, I believe you. But you have to understand that there are times when a woman needs care, and you have to find a way to help her share some of the pressure. ”
"I ...... What should I do?"
"Naturally, it's about taking some responsibility. Come with me, making an antidote is not only for those four magical creatures, but also for many complicated preparations. ”
