Chapter 845 Civil War in Hell (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
There is no doubt that the sudden political opposition and shadow of war in Baator Hell have had a great impact on the entire Faerûn continent.
The civil war between the chief red robed mage detonated in Sere is just one of them.
The tyrant of the Moon Sea, Fuzor Chambery, also started his long-planned expansion plan.
First, with the help of the Zhentarim's infiltration, they launched an offensive against Hantu and Imbutu across the strait of the Kingdom of Cormanthor. Then they supported agents and tried to send troops to take over some important port cities along the coast.
Since the former does not have a unified political power, but is just a loose alliance of towns, it is unable to withstand the powerful military power of Zhentil Fort.
Although the latter is a nominally unified kingdom, the supreme ruler and widowed queen Sambril has no interest in politics and believes that governing the country is dull, boring and boring. work, so power was delegated to the Council of Nobles early on.
Anyone who knows something about the parliamentary political system knows that this thing is purely a breeding ground for party disputes.
As time goes by, representatives of various forces gradually quarrel for interests and power, and even break through the bottom line again and again to use poisoning, assassination, kidnapping and other means.
Coupled with the continuous influx of refugees caused by the continuous harassment and invasion by the nomadic army of the Tukan tribe in the East, many poor and hungry people had to become robbers, pickpockets and thieves in order to survive after arriving in Imbutu, resulting in The security situation has deteriorated sharply, to the point where government orders are only effective within the city.
Once you leave the city, it is basically a large-scale real-person chicken scene. "Heroes" from all walks of life are ambushing in the middle of the roads to participate in the grand event. Sometimes there will be two or three waves of bandits looting the same caravan together without interfering with each other.
If a businessman does not hire enough guards, he will lose his money and money within a few kilometers of leaving the city.
Such a country with extremely low organizational and administrative efficiency would naturally be unable to withstand Fuzoul Chamberlain, who had completed centralization of power.
Many coastal cities are infiltrated by the Zhentarim like a sieve.
Secretly controlling several important trade nodes through threats and bribes without even using the army.
Of course, as the old enemy of the Zhentarim, the Harper Alliance immediately took action together with the Kingdom of Cormanthor after realizing this, and began to have a lively exchange around this huge peninsula due north of the Sea of Fallen Stars.
Looking from the map, although the two areas where the war broke out were separated by some areas and straits, and were not politically related, Candlekeep scholars still attributed the cause of the war to Zuo Si.
Because if he hadn’t suddenly united multiple levels of lords to challenge Asmodeus’s authority, both Sazastan and Fuzor Chamberry would have been suppressed and would not have dared to do so. Take action at this point in time.
And some people boldly predict that if the West Coast Empire can remain strong, Faerûn may usher in unprecedented prosperity and peace.
This is also the reason why strongman politics and dictatorship have become popular in recent times.
After all, most civilians living at the bottom of society do not care much and are not qualified to participate in politics.
They tend to care more about clothing, food, shelter, transportation and safety, which are closely related to daily life.
Since the country in the entire Faerûn continent that can provide the highest standard of living for its people is the West Coast Empire, people will naturally believe that dictatorship is the most perfect political system.
Just like when the United States dominated the earth, people were willing to believe that democracy and vote politics were the most ideal and perfect systems.
Moreover, some scholars have written the so-called "End of History" book, advocating that human beings have evolved through thousands of years of civilization to this moment, and it is completely over, and there is no longer any possibility of perfect evolution.
But in just thirty years, he was slapped hard by cruel reality. His whole face was swollen, and he and his research results became the laughing stock of the world.
Facts have proved that the state apparatus has nothing to do with democracy or dictatorship, and only depends on two factors.
One is the ability, level, and subjective will of the rulers and the ruling class, and the other is the distribution of resources and wealth at the social level.
So the strength of the United States is not because of its so-called democratic system, but because the elite at that time was far stronger than those crooked melons and jujubes later.
In the same way, the West Coast Empire was powerful not because it adopted a dictatorship, but because it had Zuo Si, a planeswalker emperor with a broader vision.
In the final analysis, politics is a game between people.
Talent is the key to decisive factor.
When people begin to fail, no matter how well designed the political system was originally, it will begin to have problems and decline at an unimaginable speed.
But unfortunately, only a very small number of people can realize this clearly.
The vast majority of people's cognition will always stay at the most superficial level, engaging in meaningless arguments for some false appearances.
Of course, Lagun was not very interested in these boring academic debates.
Because he has been the talisman master who has secretly controlled the situation in Kalingshan for so many years, he knows very well that the situation in Ser has reached an irreversible point.
Now even if the entire Entangled Talisman is left alone, Sazastan will fight to the death with the coalition of other chiefs.
If the merchants of the West Coast Empire can play a good role in offshore balance and provide more weapons and support to whoever can't hold on, then this war may last for decades or even hundreds of years. Until the once prosperous and prosperous Serre was completely reduced to ruins and scorched earth.
When they returned to the secret base, the other talisman masters who had been waiting here put their hands on their chests and bowed to the supreme leader.
Vampire Selesa even pursed her lips and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is everything going well?"
"Of course!
The conflict between Sazastan and the Chief Council has long been public. , triggering a full-scale war is a matter of time
Because he wants to promote reform and completely end the endless internal strife among the red-robed mages
and this seriously affects them. To the bottom line of other chiefs
All I did was take advantage of the situation and push him in the back.
Now that the flames of war have been ignited, let us begin the second phase of the plan. "
When he said these words, Lagon's voice was very calm, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
But to some extent, provoking red The civil war between the robed wizards is indeed a little easier for him, it is just killing a chicken with a knife.
"You mean... completely causing chaos in the entire Ser and triggering widespread panic. ? ”
The corners of Lei Yin's mouth rose slightly, revealing a malicious smile.
Lagon nodded slightly: "That's right.
Let the chess pieces we have placed in each faction take action.
Whether it is forced recruitment or plundering property, Well, let’s dig up the cemeteries scattered everywhere.
In short, I want to see everyone from slaves to people, to businessmen, nobles, and even red-robed mages start to feel fear and worry about the future.”
"As you wish. I swear that within a month at most, a large-scale wave of escapes will break out throughout the entire Serre area."
Leyin vowed to give a guarantee.
Because this is not a difficult goal to achieve.
After all, Serge's army has always been known for its greed, cruelty, and tyranny.
Every invasion of a neighboring country will cause appalling massacres.
Robbery, rape of women, and turning civilians into slaves are all commonplace.
So with just a little provocation, the armies on both sides will start to vent their anger on the civilians within the other party's jurisdiction.
Lost the war?
It doesn’t matter!
Stormed into towns and villages and forcibly recruited all adult men as cannon fodder, snatched away their food and property as military supplies, and then gathered young and beautiful women to be ravaged by demoralized veterans.
It only takes a few days at most to recover and fight again.
Those who have not personally experienced war will never understand the horrific and cruel reality behind the idiom "wars pass like grates".
As the most powerful violent organization, when the army begins to lose control, the destructive power it can cause cannot be compared to bandits, thieves and the like.
“I believe you can do this job easily.
Remember, our mission is to drain the entire population, wealth and essence of the Red Mage organization from the entire Cyre.
Let it become a country filled with ruin, despair and death.
As for what will happen to Sazastan and the chiefs, it is not something we need to care about.
Because the great master will arrange corresponding scripts for them. ”
As the last word blurted out, the two points of red light in Lagun’s eyes suddenly surged, releasing terrifying negative energy from his body.
The dragon lich Sapuhurakta is here After a moment of silence, he quickly raised his head and cautiously probed: "For such a big move, do we need to ask the master for permission? ”
Kartak Spierser sneered and responded: "There is no need.
The master is currently busy with more important things in Baator Hell.
We must not do this in this situation. It’s time to disturb him and distract him.
Not to mention that the current plan is going smoothly?” Take action personally.”
Plamon "Frost Seal" Rakisk also echoed.
In this way, the talisman masters quickly reached an agreement on the second phase of the plan.
Sazastan would never have dreamed that Lagon, whom he regarded as an ally, actually moved the entire Entangled Talisman from Kalingshan to Ser.
Right now, this huge web hidden in the dark is covering our country at an unimaginable speed.
And the spider hiding in the dark and weaving this web will soon open its bloody mouth to devour Serge's flesh and blood.
...
On the other side, far away on the ninth level of Baator Hell, an unprecedentedly large demon army has been assembled.
Zuo Si was standing on a high tower conducting an inspection with great interest. After a while, he asked Zariel, the angel of Khorne behind him: "I think you should know your mission this time, right? ?”
“Of course! It’s nothing more than cooperating with the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus, to hide a large number of demonic legions through war.”
Zariel did not add. He replied thoughtfully.
However, it is not difficult to tell from the slightly disappointed expression on her face that she actually hopes that this war is real.
Zuo Si obviously noticed this. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he warned with a serious face: "It's good that you know.
Don't do anything to me. Moth.
Don't get involved in the grudges between the lords of other levels.
Just follow the script and fight the demon army directly under Asmodeus.
Otherwise, even if the Lord of Hell does not punish you, I will punish you. "
"Understood, I promise to be a good baby, don't worry. "
Zariel yawned boredly, and even the wings behind him drooped listlessly.
After all, when she received the transfer order, she thought Zuo Si was really going to follow Ah When the war started, Smodeers was so excited that he handed over the command to his subordinates and ran back.
But he found out that it was just a fake match for outsiders to see.
That kind of strong gap is like just igniting enthusiasm for something that you are interested in or like to do, and your parents immediately pour a basin of cold water with ice cubes on it.
“I hope so.”
Zuo Si stared at the Khorne Angel with warning eyes.
Because he knows very well what unnatural things this madman with infinite fanaticism for war can do when his brain heats up.
Just the fact that the army that was used to fight the demons on the front line of the bloody battle was brought back to fight the civil war is unprecedented in the history of Baator Hell and has never been seen since.
To be precise, there may be no emotions such as fear and awe in Zariel's heart at all.
No matter who the enemy is, she dares to draw her sword and attack in the most heroic manner, without wasting a second to consider the consequences.
No wonder Tempus would willingly give part of his power and divinity as a gift to Zariel.
Because the thoughts and actions of this Angel of Khorne are so in line with the teachings of the God of War. He is a complete replica of the Orcs in the Warhammer universe. He has been pursuing combat throughout his life - coolness.
If it weren’t for increasing credibility, Zuo Sicai would not have transferred her back from the bloody front line.
After all, they were already at war with Asmodeus. It would be a bit insulting to the intelligence of others if they didn't even bring back their strongest commander.
Just as Zuo Si glanced at the legions arranged in neat square formations below, the magic projection of Grand Duke Balzeb suddenly appeared on the tower, scanning this possible army with an almost greedy gaze. The scale and quality of the entire Baator Hell is second only to the huge army of Nessus in the last level.
If possible, how he wished he could be the master of this army, and then become the leader in overthrowing the Asmodeus Alliance, and finally win the victory and become the new Lord of Hell.
It’s a pity that all this is just a beautiful fantasy in my mind.
So after a brief absence, Archduke Barzeb immediately regained his composure and said bluntly: "The armies of Prince Levistus and Viscount Maman have been assembled. As long as you start to attack Nasus, Attack, they will immediately send troops to respond to you. I will also personally lead the army to the eighth level to deal with Mephistopheles.”
"Oh? Have you all chosen your opponents?"
Zuo Si turned around and asked slightly surprised.
“Well, yes.
Viscount Maman will be responsible for dealing with the second-level lord, Archduke Disbat.
Prince Levistus will Order his generals to lead a team to prevent the first-level lord - Bayer from returning reinforcements
Coupled with my attack on the eighth level, Asmodeus theoretically has no help from the outside world.
You can take Fierna and Gracia and march to the last level without any worries.
As for the bloody battle front, don’t worry.
Anyway, after we captured the abyss, we sealed so many nobles and lords in the first forty or so floors, so let them unite to resist the demons and possibly counterattack. ”
Grand Duke Balzebul told all his arrangements at once.
Obviously, this insidious old fox deliberately roped in Viscount Maman and Prince Levistus to cause trouble for lords from other levels, just to leave an escape route for himself.
After all, the consequences of directly attacking Asmodeus's lair are completely different from those of attacking lords on other levels.
Once defeated, the latter can still find some excuses to quibble, but the former is the type that cannot be cleaned no matter how hard it is washed.
It must be said that when it comes to playing tricks, Grand Duke Balzeb can indeed be called a cunning man, and he is full of all kinds of little calculations in his heart.
The fight hasn't even started yet, and we have already found a way out for ourselves.
But fortunately, Zuo Si obviously didn't care about this and nodded with a smile: "Yes, let's follow this plan. In an hour at most, my legion will take the lead in occupying the area between the ninth and tenth floors." "Let Zariel serve as the commander?"
Grand Duke Balzeb probed very cautiously.
“Yes, Zariel will be the commander himself.”
Zuo Si replied in the affirmative without hesitation.
Because he knew that only by letting the Angel of Khorne join the battle sequence could the other party feel at ease.
And a loser like Viscount Maman may not be able to do his job well.
No way.
It is the nature of the devil to be suspicious of each other and wary of each other.
Usually in major events like this involving military coups, we basically hope to see "allies" go first.
As expected, when he heard that Zariel would lead the army of the ninth level to attack Nasus directly, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on the twisted and ferocious face of Archduke Barzeb.
"Awesome! I can't wait to see the look of horror on Mephistopheles's face and the confusion he has."
"Then I wish you can successfully resolve this grudge and make your enemy pay for what you have done. After all, there is nothing more memorable than the sweetness of revenge."
Zuo Si deliberately pretended to be a man. The careless look stimulated the twisted and crazy heart of the Flying Insect Lord.
He is very aware of the old enemy relationship between the other party and Mephistopheles, and he also knows the huge price the other party is willing to pay in order to kill this mortal enemy.
Perhaps when Asmodeus planned this game, in addition to hiding the number of demon legions and making the outside world think that Hell was severely damaged due to the civil war, he also wanted to take the opportunity to weaken and balance the strength of the lords at other levels.
After all, only the main battlefield is fighting against fake matches, and the other battlefields are all fought with real swords and guns.
Especially Mephistopheles and Archduke Barzebul, the hatred and anger in their hearts have long exploded, and they both want to strangle each other to death. Once a one-on-one exclusive battlefield is created for them, they will definitely spare no effort to try to end the opponent's life quickly and completely.
Otherwise, if you miss it, you may never have such an opportunity again.
This means that the intensity of the war will be astonishing.
Perhaps one-third or more of the troops will be exhausted in a few weeks or even a month or two.
In the same way, Viscount Maman’s legion will be beaten to pieces in front of the steel fortress of the second-tier lord, Archduke Disbat.
After all, Zariel’s sudden attack failed to succeed.
As for Prince Levistus’s army, since he himself is still sealed in the ice, Duke Agares will most likely become the commander-in-chief of the army.
This big devil obviously cannot be the opponent of Bayer, the first-level lord who has been on the front line of the bloody battle for many years.
What's more, there are eight demon generals who are loyal to Asmodeus around Bayer.
If nothing else happens, Prince Levistus’s legion will suffer heavy losses in the blocking battle.
As a result, all plane lords who are dissatisfied with Asmodeus will suffer heavy losses in this war.
On the contrary, Fierna and Gracia, who were originally the weakest, were able to escape unscathed because they stayed with Zuo Si and were not involved.
It's like when everyone in the stock market is losing money, if you don't lose money, you just make money.
At that time, all levels of the entire Baator Hell will be in a state of similar strength, and new constraints and balance will be re-formed.
Asmodeus only needs to use a little political skills to make all the lords obedient, instead of surrendering on the surface like they are now, but secretly causing trouble.
Witnessing the ninth-level army marching out under the leadership of Zariel, Grand Duke Balzeb soon left with satisfaction.
As soon as he left, the Devil Duke under Gracia's command, Moloch, appeared out of thin air, put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply.
"Your Excellency, the great prince, I am here to report to you on the order of the lord. The army on the sixth level has been assembled and ready to be dispatched at any time."
"Oh? So fast? I thought she would have to spend more. A little time.”
Zuo Si showed an obviously surprised expression.
Because Gracia ruled Malboji for too short a time, and was promoted from a desire demon to a great devil for a short period of time, her dominance was far less powerful than that of other lords at other levels.
To be precise, the area that she can really control for a long time is less than one-third, and the remaining two-thirds are in a semi-independent state of listening to instructions but not announcements.
Later, with the help of Zuo Si, the dominance was gradually spread to the entire level.
For example, the powerful Demon Duke Moloch in front of him formally surrendered and swore allegiance at that time.
By the way, in the aristocratic system of Baator Hell, duke and grand duke are two completely different concepts.
Although the two sound similar, the former is just a symbol of identity and status, but the latter belongs to the level lord alone.
In other words, Grand Duke is the exclusive title of the level lord.
For example, Gracia's external title is the Grand Duchess, and the same goes for Fierna.
Except for Viscount Maman, all the other level lords are basically Grand Dukes without exception.
In comparison, the number of dukes is much larger.
The more famous ones include Balaam and Basham on the fourth level, Titiverus on the second level, Bael on the first level, Lilith on the seventh level, and Lilith on the fifth level. Agares, Tartak on the sixth level, Hutikin on the eighth level, and Adramaresh, Asmodeus's confidant on the last level.
Without exception, these devil dukes are all capable men of the layer lords.
The most powerful among them can even threaten or even evade their own lords to a certain extent, and then replace them when appropriate.
Now the first-level lord Bayer is one of the best.
When Fierna became the nominal lord of the fourth level, her father also adopted a similar strategy.
On the sixth level, three lords were changed successively, and it was not until Gracia came to power that it gradually became stable.
The process of seizing power from the predecessor Maradomini, the current lord of the seventh level, Balzeb, is a textbook-level operation.
It is still studied repeatedly as a classic case by the Hell Political Academy, and then taught to those ambitious high-level devils.
Moloch grinned and explained: "This is all thanks to your illustrious reputation and the huge benefits you have brought to the entire Baator Hell over the years, as well as the many opportunities for promotion.
All the devils think they have a better chance of following you
So our legion's morale is high now
Even if they know they are going to face Asmodeus. ”
"Hahahaha! For more, greater benefits?"
Zuo Si instantly transformed into the form of a big devil and let out a deafening laugh.
As the saying goes, there is no more reliable ally in this world than one with common interests.
As for other family ties, friendship, love, country, nation, and even human nature, they are all as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of large enough interests, and will break with a light poke.
Before igniting a spark and becoming a planeswalker, Zuo Si once heard a joke told by a colleague, which could not be more appropriate to describe the current situation.
The general content is that one day a highly prosperous alien civilization suddenly invades the earth.
Then he announced to the whole world through the Internet and radio signals that he would turn all people on earth into slaves and squeeze them severely.
For example, you must work four hours a day, you are only allowed to eat fifty dishes for each meal, you are only allowed three days of rest each week, and each person is only given one companion android...
As a result, before the alien fleet launched an attack, the people on the earth rushed directly to the streets and rushed to lead the way to the alien Taijun, telling them who were politicians, who were officials, and who were capitalists, and demanded that the aliens Kill all these guys and leave no one behind.
Their only requirement is that everything in the previous announcement must be fulfilled.
In the end, the people on earth lived an extremely happy and contented life under the colonial rule of aliens.
As for why aliens give such good treatment to earthlings...
Don’t ask, the question is that their technological level is highly developed and their material conditions far exceed the limits that earthlings can imagine.
The above are already the most inhumane and harsh forms of slavery and oppression they can imagine.
The current reaction of the devils on the sixth level is actually a replica of this situation.
Because Zuo Siyuan continued to use his planeswalker ability to obtain a large number of souls from other time, space and universe, and at the same time created a huge cyberpunk city as a "hunting ground", many devils who had not met the standards for many years and were unable to get promoted have used it to This is the opportunity to turn around.
Some even succeeded in being promoted from little devils to devils with very high ecological niches such as horned devils and pit fiends.
In addition, Zuo Si is also the only top powerhouse who has successfully destroyed the old enemy demon and occupied all the first forty floors of the bottomless abyss.
Ever since he began to take over the command of part of the bloody battle, the Demon Legion has never suffered a disastrous defeat. Instead, it can often suppress endless demons.
So in the eyes of most ordinary devils, this is simply his biological father, a thick and strong thigh, and they will never let go of him if they have the opportunity to hug him tightly.
As for what to do if they fail to resist Asmodeus's rule, that is not a problem they need to consider at all.
After all, the lord of the sixth level is Gracia, the daughter of the Lord of Hell.
Given Asmodeus' doting attitude towards his daughter, even the punishment would not be too severe, not to mention that ordinary devils only obey orders.
But once Zuo Si succeeds in taking power, it will be the result of Cong Longhe's support.
At that time, as long as the new Lord of Hell opens his mouth a little, he will immediately be able to change from being able to only drink soup to being qualified to compete for delicious fresh meat.
"Interesting. Should I say that he really deserves to be Asmodeus? He was able to achieve multiple goals overtly and covertly in one plan. Even I was almost deceived."
I realized that I After studying the huge appeal of Baator Hell, Zuo Si's eyes flashed with amusement, and he also understood why Asmodeus chose to ask him to cooperate with him in a play at this time.
Perhaps this cunning devil king is testing the extent of his prestige in hell.
After all, as an absolutely rational and purely political monster, the Lord of Hell will never mix any personal emotions when making decisions.
So no matter how kind and friendly Asmodeus is on the surface, he is always wary secretly.
"Um...I don't quite understand what you mean."
Devil Duke Moloch showed doubts.
Zuo Si smiled and waved his hand: "No, it's nothing, don't worry about it.
I just expressed my feelings.
If there is nothing else, you can Let's go back and lead the army to meet Zariel first.
She will tell you what to do.
Remember, don’t be smart, just obey the orders and complete the task honestly.
No matter how strange these commands are. "
"Yes! ”
These words obviously made Moloch hesitate for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, solemnly bent down and bowed again, and then activated the teleportation magic and disappeared.
In this way, it didn't take long for the armies of Fierna and Gracia to join together and march forward along the passage opened by the Angel of Khorne Zariel.
When they arrived at the front line, they saw the huge legions of both sides spread out on the plains of Naisses and began to fight fiercely.
The reason why we use the seemingly contradictory adjective "canyon plain" is mainly because the terrain here is so unique.
At first glance, it looks like some mischievous child dug a ravine on the flat land that stretches for thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers.
The depth is unmatched even by the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on earth.
In the hidden and unknown corners deep in the ravine, the sound of rushing water can be vaguely heard.
Some people say that these ravines were carved by the tributaries of the River Styx, while others say they are cracks on the ground made by a terrible being when he fell, and the sound of running water is the blood spurting out of the latter's wounds. .
But no matter what the truth is, it is basically certain that the biggest secret of the entire Baator Hell is hidden in the deepest part of the canyon called "Serpent Coil" in Nassus.
No one knows what is hidden inside, not even Zuo Si.
Right now, an army of hundreds of millions of devils are fighting over and over again on this endless land. Thousands of devils are falling and disappearing every moment, and the speed is so fast that it is impossible to proceed. statistics.
"It's unbelievable! Is this the war between the Lord of Hell and the Prince of Hell? Compared with them, the lords of other levels are as ridiculous as children."
A deep man from the fourth level The Hell Demon General opened his mouth in disbelief.
You must know that for all the devils who can be promoted to his level, basically one of them can be regarded as a famous figure in hell.
But in less than ten minutes, at least two thousand Hell Fiends died in battle.
Needless to mention the number of low-level devils.
Zariel, the Angel of Khorne, spread his wings and led his guards on the front line, with almost no enemies wherever he passed.
But even so, the army on the ninth level was still unable to push the position forward even a little bit.
The legions belonging to Asmodeus fought to the death with their tenacious will.
“What should we do now?”
Filna was obviously panicked.
Because the intensity of the war was far beyond the limit she could imagine, she was not even sure that all the people she brought would die soon after being thrown into it.
"Relax, dear. Haven't you noticed that Zariel has no intention of letting us join in? In other words, we don't need to do anything now. We can just set up a position and watch the battle. . ”
Gracia smoothed her long flowing hair, not showing the slightest bit of nervousness at all.
“Are you sure?”
Filna turned her head and glanced at this good friend.
Gracia smiled and held the former's cheek and kissed her lips lovingly. Then she responded with a smile while licking her lips: "Don't worry, you have to trust my intuition.
In my opinion Come on, whether it is Soth or my father, the Lord of Hell, their behavior in recent times has been quite strange.
Especially this attitude of fighting from the beginning, it really doesn't look like two insidious people. What the cunning, cautious and suspicious old fox can do
Under normal circumstances, even if they want to fight, they will first conduct a series of trials, and then slowly and methodically expand the scale of the war, waiting for opportunities to find loopholes and vulnerabilities in their opponents. Weakness."
"So you think there is something hidden behind this war?
No way?
How many demon legions have been consumed on the battlefield?
If this is a drama, then the price is a bit too high. "
Fierna obviously didn't believe what her best friend said.
Gracia chuckled and shrugged indifferently: "Ha! Who knows.
Anyway, I don’t think the current battlefield is a performance of my father and Soth going all out.
They must still have countless trump cards hidden in their hands.
Don’t forget that in another universe, Soth still has a large New Phyrexia army that has not moved.
They really almost conquered a universe. "
Well, maybe you are right. We don't have to rush to show off, and there is no need to waste precious troops in this cruel war of attrition."
Fierna showed a thoughtful expression and quickly gave instructions to a henchman of the Devil Duke behind her.
In about ten minutes or so, the armies at the fourth and sixth levels began to camp in place and became full-time "civilian brothers" to start building fortresses, fortresses and defense lines.
Unlike demons who rob wherever they go and sleep wherever they go, demons are actually very similar to the ancient Roman legions on earth in some aspects. They are not only good at fighting but also good at building.
Many of the famous strong fortresses in this universe were created by the devil.
With the participation of magical power, a super fortress group that can accommodate millions of troops was built.
Asmodeus, who was hiding in the Fortress of Marsham, saw this scene and immediately couldn't help laughing happily.
“Hahaha!
Incredible, really incredible!
My willful and impulsive daughter actually started to learn to use her brain!
This is incredible What a blessing.
It seemed that it was indeed the right decision to hand her over to Soth for instruction.
If this continues, she will soon surpass her mother and become a veritable Queen of Desire. "
"Master, I must remind you that the threat level of Prince Soth has become very high. Through this temptation, it can be basically concluded that more than half of the devils in the entire hell have a favorable impression of him, one-third are willing to serve for a long time, and almost one-tenth are willing to risk everything to bet that he can replace you in the future. "
Manager Martinot carefully told the information he had.
But Asmodeus smiled and shook his head: "No, you are wrong. , my steward.
You only see the surface of the problem without feeling the deeper nature.
Tell me, why are these devils willing to support Soth?
Because he is the lord of the ninth level?
My chosen successor?
No, neither.
The reason why he has gained such high prestige lies in his identity as a planeswalker.
Only by becoming a planeswalker can he continuously bring huge benefits and benefits to other devils, and even I am one of the beneficiaries.
But once he replaces me, he will have to merge with the will of the plane and be forever bound to Baator Hell, unable to escape.
When those devils see that they cannot get any additional benefits from him, and even what they already have are being lost, guess what will happen?
So don't worry about anything stupid Soos will do.
He is a smart man, he understands what his greatest advantage is, and he also understands that maintaining the current good cooperative relationship is the most beneficial.
And what I want to do is just to remind him, let him understand that today is no longer the same as before, and he must make a choice as soon as possible..."
