Chapter 4 4. High-quality talents?
After completing the handover of work, Xifer sent away Bell and many high-level devils.
For Bell, who lost his position as lord, Xifer arranged a new job for him, asking him to go to the Iron Fortress as deputy commander and supervise the forge that provided weapons and armor for the bloody battle. Other high-level devils also returned to their posts.
It’s not that Xifer doesn’t need security,
But if these subordinates stay by your side, you will only be in more danger!
Syphiel knew that jealousy and conspiracy were simply a part of the devil's life. Using the history of the Blue Star people as an analogy, the devils under his command are all more talented than Wang Mang, more powerful than Lu Bu, and even better than Zhao Kuangyin in commanding troops!
Xifeier had just arrived, and most of his subordinates didn't know his details. If you wait for these loyal subordinates, you will find that the lord cannot even defeat the weakest among his "Eight Dark Demon Generals"...
It would have been very difficult for Xifeier not to stab himself in the castle with a hundred knives in the back!
···
After sending away his subordinates, Xifer found a private room, took out the golden feather, and reported his situation back to the Angel Legion. Along with it, he packaged up a lot of the confidential information in the "Book of Lords" and sent it to the goddess. of divine realm.
Afterwards, Xifer returned to the empty lord hall.
Having determined the work goal of "ruining his own territory", Xifer opened the "Book of Lords" again to check the [Soul Energy] in the current territory.
Souls are the hard currency of hell. And [Soul Energy] is the most important resource among devils.
The devil deceives the souls of mortals from countless material worlds, and then brutally tortures the souls who have fallen into hell to extract energy from them.
The energy extracted from the soul functions like "experience points" in the game, allowing the devil to advance and strengthen into a more powerful form. It can also be used to make certain magic items and buildings, or used in some grand extraordinary rituals.
On the yellowed pages, lines of ink words appeared:
[Territorial Scope: The First Level of the Nine Hells "War Wilderness"]
【Soul energy: 500,000】
Syphiel thought that 500,000 units of soul energy would need to be extracted from the souls of 500,000 civilians. As a working capital, it is actually not too small.
While thinking about it, Syphiel glanced at the content at the bottom of the page.
[Other nine hell levels can control soul energy (this data is for reference only)]
[Second level "Burning City": 12 million]
[The third layer of "Rancid Mud": 15 million]
【······】
Uh...
Xiphiel coughed twice.
First set a small goal and waste all these 500,000 units of soul energy!
Then, for 2 to 3 months, wreak as much havoc as possible in the territory.
After 3 months at most, run away with the bucket!
···
Xifeier held a rusty bronze book and wandered into the basalt hall of Nuoda.
Billowing smoke and floating sparks filled the interior of the Demon Archduke's castle.
"How to squander all these 500,000 units of soul energy?" Xifeier thought hard and began to study.
"The simplest way to consume soul energy is to find a large group of devils and let them be promoted!"
The moment this idea came up, Xifer rejected it.
These soul energies only exist in the upgraded devil's body, improving the combat effectiveness of the Nine Hell Devils. It is not a waste at all!
"It would be best if I could find a large group of freeloaders! During this period of time, I can consider forming my own new palace and select some bad guys from the devils in the territory. It would be a waste of soul energy. On them!”
Xiphiel thought to himself that this idea was barely feasible, but the shortcomings were still obvious.
Firstly, it is difficult to find bastards among demons; secondly, even if the trash demon is promoted, the average combat power of the nine hell demons will be increased to a certain extent.
After much thought, Xifeier came up with another plan:
"By the way, I can also hire some mortals from other material worlds! Waste the soul energy on mortals."
Many of the devil archdukes in the past would hire mortals to serve themselves. His predecessor, Bell, had raised a mercenary group composed of 12 villains from the material world.
Compared to promoting devils, it is undoubtedly much less economical to arm a group of humans who are not loyal to the Nine Hells!
After this idea came to his mind, Xifer immediately used the magic of connecting to the Internet.
He opened a word document in his mind and made a simple task list:
[Task 1. Reorganize the hell palace on the first level, recruit waste and depose talented people. 】
[Task 2. Recruit a group of mercenaries. 】
Of course, these mortal mercenaries must be carefully screened, not everyone can be one!
Xifer briefly listed what qualities the mortal mercenaries he needs should have:
[1. Don’t be too active in your work. You have to fish for three days and dry the net for two days. It is necessary to have an anti-work addiction mechanism. It is best to work 2 hours a day as you will be said to be addicted to work. 】
【2. The requirements must be high. It's best to talk about asking for benefits every day, so that you can cheat the "Lord's Book" and find reasons to get more salary increases and more benefits. 】
[3. The most important thing is to have low loyalty, be lawless, disobedient to discipline, and lawless! Devils are naturally lawful creatures, so the more chaotic and disordered this group of mercenaries is, the better! 】
[As a mortal mercenary in hell, it is inevitable to do something useful to the nine hells. I cannot explicitly instruct them to violate the laws of hell, I can only rely on their own volition to violate them. 】
Writing this, Xifer couldn't help but sigh, where can you find such high-quality mercenaries?
It is a fantasy to find mercenaries who meet the above requirements in a short time!
Xiphiel thought hard and felt that his requirements were still too high.
"Forget it, use the soul energy to upgrade yourself first!"
Using soul energy to strengthen yourself is undoubtedly a perfect way to consume soul energy!
However, Xifer still had concerns in his heart.
He suspected that there must be some restrictions on the lord's ability to mobilize soul energy to upgrade himself.
After all, he has never seen any devil archduke who can absorb all the soul energy of the entire territory and upgrade himself.
Xiphiel clenched his fists and mobilized the soul energy in the territory.
