Chapter 207: Split City
Nohir clearly understood why they came here through Luft’s memory.
'There is currently an entire legion of devils existing in the entire city. The purpose of this entire legion of devils coming here is very simple. They are to maintain the "stability" of the entire city. '
'This kind of stability is in every sense, because of the invasion of the abyss demons, Zarrell does not want the humans in the city to do anything to disturb her layout of the entire bloody battle in the abyss. Zariel's only hope for the humans in this city is that they can stay safely until the bloody battle is over, and then wait quietly for the entire city to sink into the River Styx, and for all humans to transform into lemures and join the big family of hell. '
'But at the same time, Zarrell also hopes to see some unique human beings. In an entire city, there must be some human souls that are more valuable than ordinary people. In other words, they have certain specialties, and Zariel needs such capable humans, so he sent an entire legion here to maintain order and capture those truly strong men for her, and wanted to Ways to make them take the initiative to fall. ’
‘And stability in another sense. '
Nohill put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and then looked to the west. At this time, almost 1/3 of the buildings in the entire city had collapsed. Originally, Nohill thought that the building had collapsed. And the occasional earthquakes are caused by bolide falling from the sky or lightning released by the sun, but in fact they are neither.
The reason why the entire city is currently experiencing intermittent earthquakes is entirely because the entire Eltoril has been torn in half! Yes, now the entire city under Nohir's feet has actually been completely torn apart! After all, teleporting an entire city to hell is a miracle, and such a large teleportation is impossible without some additional damage.
When Banyang teleported Eltoril to Hell, the city's foundation could not withstand such drastic changes. The broad river in the middle of the city, which was originally taken from the Jonsa River, all flowed inside. It was dry, and the city itself was bounded by the river bed in the middle, and it split into two halves after being transported to hell.
Now the city is divided into two areas: east and west. The two boulders floating in the sky are not far apart because of the chains, but it is also because of the chains that the occasional collision between them is There will be huge earthquakes, which is why so many buildings in the city collapsed.
'Another level of stability means that Zariel does not want these mortals to die too much due to the earthquake before sinking into the River Styx. After all, if these dead souls have not committed too many sins during their lifetime, even if they are already in Hell, its soul will also be pulled away by Kelanvor, the god of death, and after being divided, it will be sent to the place where the soul really should go. '
'Only when they are alive and sink into the River Styx together with the city, can the tenacity of the creed bind their souls, because at that time the city has been merged into hell, and they are sinking in the city The Styx had not died fighting for the city before, so after falling into the Styx with the city, they would be automatically transformed into devils, and from then on they would firmly guard Hell, just like they guarded Eltoril. '
'So the devils of this legion acted as firefighters. They urgently set up teleportation coordinates between the two cities, and then teleported two pairs of giant iron piles through Banyang. The iron piles and chains fixed the two cities relative to each other, preventing them from floating too close to prevent violent friction between the two cities, and also preventing them from floating too far away, preventing the two cities from violently colliding. '
'After completing all this, the entire legion of devils did not go down, but began to hunt freely throughout the city, while restraining Eltoril's Hell Knights and The city garrison, with large forces of both now confronting each other on the west side of the city, near the High Hall. "
"The other demons are scattered throughout the city. In addition to capturing humans, these demons also have to prevent certain flying demons from bypassing the large army of demons and coming to the city to plunder what belongs to them. "property" obligations. ’
‘Tsk, it’s such a complicated situation. ’
Nohir scratched the bald head of the Chain Demon Queen with some distress, but then his thoughts moved and he began to think about the current strange situation.
'However, to a certain extent, the appearance of the devils actually stabilized Eltoril in disguise. Because of Zariel's order, they would not actively harm human civilians, but would only They capture and then try to induce them to fall, and they will also actively attack the demons that have invaded the city. Although the pain they have caused to the city cannot be ignored, during this period of time, the positive impact they can exert is The meaning is far greater than the negative meaning. '
'This also means that the current situation in the city is not as urgent as I imagined. People's life safety is not guaranteed in some ways, but this is definitely not a long-term solution. , once the bloody battle is over. Even if it ends temporarily, it can be declared the beginning of the city's destruction. ’
‘We must find a way to break the current situation. ’
Nohill strengthened his mind, then sat there with a frown on his face, trying hard to sort out the complicated and huge information in the devil's mind. He hoped to find a way to solve the problem in the devil's mind. No matter how profound the scholars on the main material plane claim to be about hell, they are still far behind any aborigine who has lived in hell for a relatively long time, and Luft undoubtedly meets this condition.
This devil has lived in hell for more than 400 years. From his memory, Nohir witnessed his step by step from the lowest level lemure. In the process of climbing up, this information gave him a very clear impression of the current situation in Eltoril, and even the [rules and regulations] of hell.
——
Luft Hudel, whose race is a chain demon, belongs to the 69th Legion [Fishers] in the promotion sequence of hell. The specialty of this legion is For large-scale group battles and the capture of various large hell beasts, his personal military rank is Flag Officer.
He was born in hell more than 400 years ago. At that time, the first level of the nine hells, Avernus was still ruled by Grand Duke Bair. Different from the 100 years when Zariel was in power, in Zariel, During the days when Riel came to power, the entire Avernus has undergone earth-shaking changes, and his experience can more intuitively reflect the past and present of Avernus.
During the period when Grand Duke Bayer was in power, it was also the period when Luft struggled to climb up from hell. The overall plan of hell to fight against the invasion of abyssal demons was far from what it is now. Fierce and radical, Luft has experienced these two ruling periods with different styles, and has successfully survived to the present despite such major power changes.
In his memory, Bayer was a far-sighted strategist. He made strategic moves through various fortresses, using conspiracy and terrain to disperse the size of the demon tide. He was fighting against the abyss demons. The entire operation revealed prudentness. In order to convey his orders more effectively, he divided all elite devils with combat effectiveness into a total of 150 elite legions.
Each legion is composed of 1,000 devils of various types. The devil types and configurations have different types and legion code names due to different responsibilities between legions, but the command system is the same.
Each legion has a legion envoy (legion commander) of the highest power class to convey the Duke's orders, and there are several lower-level command systems that gradually progress, specifically as follows.
1 legion = 10 brigades. The legion is commanded by a legion envoy (legion commander).
1 brigade = 10 squads, the brigade is commanded by a flag officer.
1 squad = 10 devils, the squad is commanded by an adjutant.
In other words, an entire formally established elite devil army has one legion commander, 10 flag officers and 100 adjutants. Under such a plan, the entire hell is like a huge and sophisticated aircraft. The machinery, each gear operating in an orderly manner, wiped out all the invading demons on the bloody battlefield of Avernus.
At the same time, to replenish the number of demons in the legion, Bayer did not just rely on the devil eggs emerging from the River Styx in Avernus. He chose to form an alliance with the grand dukes of other levels of hell, and through active Recruit elite devil warriors from other levels of hell to ensure that the legion's combat effectiveness never declines.
This is how Luft came about. He was first born in the second level of the nine hells [Dis], and then after a hundred years of training in the fifth level of hell [Stygia] where ice and blizzards shrouded everything, he thought Luft, who was qualified to participate in the bloody battle, came to Avernus through the tributaries of the River Styx and officially joined the devil's front line against the abyss demons.
However, 100 years ago, Asmodeus, the Lord of the Nine Hells, was dissatisfied with Bair's efficiency in killing enemies (at least that's what he announced), and believed that his strategy was too cautious, allowing the demon to remain He was deprived of his right to rule on the grounds that he was wreaking havoc on the plains of Avernus.
