With Kazra and his army of spiked demons officially joining Grand Duke Bilel's camp, all the high-ranking demons with power in the fourth level of hell have already taken sides.
Although there are still some fence-sitters who are still wavering, or want to wait until the situation becomes completely clear before flattering the winner.
But their power is too weak and they can't have any impact on the overall situation.
So both Bilel and Philna chose to ignore this group of "trash" and led their huge devil armies to approach the opponent's position.
Overall, the former, as the "Regent", clearly has an overwhelming numerical advantage.
More than 70% of the devils at this level chose to swear allegiance to the former lord.
After all, he is old enough and has rich experience in ruling, and is obviously more trustworthy than Philna, who was put in power as a puppet after the Great Purge.
But the disadvantage is that the devil army under Bilaier is too bloated, and there are all kinds of guys. It is impossible to know which ones can be truly trusted and which ones are just pretending to surrender out of necessity, and are actually flirting with Philna secretly, or even worse, secretly passing on important information.
This means that he absolutely cannot encounter setbacks, and he also cannot afford to lose.
Otherwise, the hidden internal problems will begin to erupt continuously, eventually leading to a snowball-like collapse.
In comparison, although the number of legions controlled by Philna is less than half of that of her father, her advantage lies in the fact that she has gained the authority by leveraging her status as a lord and has promoted them one by one personally.
These newly promoted high-level devils are very clear about where their power and status came from.
If Archduke Biller came to power, all of this would most likely be taken away, and he might even face the shame of being demoted. Therefore, their loyalty is often very high, and they are particularly united in the face of huge external pressure and threats.
Some of the Pit Fiends even carried out all-round, three-dimensional reinforcement of the castles, palaces, and fortresses under their control, and prepared to use these fortifications to delay time after the failure of the first battle, in order to seek external assistance or wait for the intervention of Asmodeus, the lord of Hell.
However, they did not know that Philna had already secretly connected and formed alliances through the Great Devil's best method, and then placed spies and even assassins in the opponent's camp, and finally found an appropriate time to seize the fruits of victory at the lowest cost.
There is no doubt that this is the most respected way of political and power struggle in Hell, compared to the large-scale and brutal civil wars that broke out between the lords of the levels.
If it is ultimately successful, the entire case will be included in the political textbooks for all devils who have reached a certain level to study and refer to.
When it comes to learning advanced experiences and summing up lessons, the devil is countless levels better than the demons.
Generally speaking, most conspiracies and tricks can only be used once in hell.
If you use it a second time, there is a high probability that your opponent will discover it or detect it in advance.
Fortunately, Zuo Si, the airborne ninth-level lord, is not like other demons. He has already been studied thoroughly in long-term struggles and games.
In the eyes of lords from other levels, he is surrounded by too many mysterious halos, and he is often not in his own territory. Therefore, many devils are a little confused about what is going on in the mind of this crown prince of hell, and what his personality, ambitions, desires and goals are.
With Gracia frantically attracting firepower, the whole plan was able to proceed so smoothly.
At this moment, Philna, the nominal lord of the fourth level, was sitting in the legion's camp, watching the endless army of demons building a fortress outside.
Unlike demons who have no discipline at all and only know how to burn, kill, loot and vent their instincts and desires, and start fighting as soon as they meet, devils have strict discipline that mortals cannot imagine.
Especially during war, after arriving at the front line and contacting the enemy, they would not immediately launch an attack, but would first build a series of solid fortifications on the spot that could be used for attack or defense.
In this way, they can use these fortifications to perform many ingenious tactics that dazzle the enemy.
So when the two hostile devil armies met, apart from sending out necessary reconnaissance teams to find out the strength of the other side, the rest were all busy carrying out civil engineering work.
Those who know that this is the devils' habit of building fortifications to stabilize their rear, while those who don't know would think they are competing in a city-building competition.
Large amounts of boiling magma were continuously scooped out from the river of fire that could be seen everywhere on the fourth floor, and then shaped and cooled through magic, eventually forming an integrated rock wall that was more than ten meters or even dozens of meters high.
As for the thickness...
There is basically no way to break through it with brute force. Even if it is hit repeatedly by meteors falling from the sky, it will never collapse easily.
Moreover, for the convenience of defense, the interior is divided into more than a dozen layers inside and outside, and there are tunnels hidden two or three hundred meters deep underground.
From the other end, the retreat route of the defenders in front can be completely blocked.
The reason for this design is mainly to prevent the devils from always choosing the good habit of "strategic retreat" immediately when they find that the battle situation is unfavorable to them.
As long as the retreat route is blocked from the other side, the defenders will have to fight to the death until the last man, causing huge casualties to the enemy.
Even if a military fortress of this level was placed on the battlefield of World War II, it could withstand the repeated attacks of heavy artillery and aerial bombs, and would definitely be a nightmare for the attacking side.
If Zuo Si saw this scene, he would definitely sigh that it was a waste of talent for these devils not to contract construction projects.
His ninth level fully taps the devil's potential in this regard, contributing day and night to the expansion of the huge cyberpunk city.
While construction was frantically going on in the camps on both sides, the teams sent out for reconnaissance also began to clash in the vast three-dimensional space of the fourth level.
In just a few hours, thousands of demons died forever in this area filled with rivers of fire and erupting volcanoes.
Although most of them are low-level imps with flying capabilities, they are not even appetizers for real battles.
But the tense atmosphere on the eve of the war had already shrouded the blood-red sky.
Tens of thousands of hellhounds also spread out on the vast plains burning with flames, chasing and biting each other, and interweaving with a large number of flames with thoughts and wisdom, forming an extremely spectacular scene.
Fortunately, demons and hellhounds are immune to fire damage, otherwise if it were any other mortal from the material plane, they would probably be burned to death in a few minutes by these flames that are like a thorn in their flesh and cannot be avoided.
"How long will it take us to complete the construction of the fortifications?"
After a long silence, Philna asked her subordinates.
This female devil has a body as perfect as a statue. Unlike her father, Bilaier, who has a ferocious and weird face, hers is very delicate and three-dimensional.
Her slightly dark skin reveals a kind of beauty and sexiness that cannot be described in words. She has a pair of small horns on her forehead, and her eyes emit the devil's unique red temptation light. She is wearing an exquisite and luxurious silk dress, but she gives people a very dissolute feeling.
In fact, for a long time, Philna gave people the impression of being a playful and flattering socialite who ostensibly submitted to her father's will and was keen on playing with those weaker than herself.
But behind the scenes, she is actually an out-and-out conspiracy master, secretly plotting how to seize power from her father, until she becomes the true lord of the fourth plane like her so-called "best friend" Gracia.
The reason why the word "best friends" is put in quotation marks comes from the fragile friendship between these two female devils, like plastic sisters.
Although Philna was always jealous and obsessed with Gracia's great power and growing strength, deep down she always felt that she had relied on her father and the protection of Asmodeus to get everything she had today.
But she had to fight with her father to seize the right to rule the fourth level.
With such a huge psychological gap, not to mention an evil devil, even a human would be seriously unbalanced.
So the feelings between the two sides are very complicated and twisted.
Fortunately, under the guidance of her father, Grand Duke Biler, Philna has grasped the essence of "love and pain". She also learned disguise and forbearance during her time as a puppet, so the cooperation has always been quite pleasant.
Occasionally she would use the techniques she had learned to satisfy Gracia's insatiable desires.
Since both parties were women, still so young, and had experienced some unpleasant things with their fathers, they naturally developed into a close alliance.
Even though Archduke Piler later discovered that Gracia had secretly instigated his daughter to rebel against him, he tried every means to separate the two, but in the end he failed without exception.
He didn't realize at all that since becoming the nominal lord of the fourth level, Philna's ambition had begun to grow uncontrollably.
Even without Gracia's instigation, the latter would continue to try to seize power.
The repeated conversations about "independence" are the best proof of this.
“My Lord, according to the reports from each legion, we will be able to complete the basic construction of the fortress in about seven hours at most.
However, considering that we are at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, I do not recommend that you launch the attack first.
After all, the attacker usually suffers more casualties than the defender.
Instead, it is wisest to choose to defend first and wait for the situation to turn around."
A Hell Demon general stood up and expressed his opinion carefully.
"Counterattack?"
Philna couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and then she shook her right index finger in a teasing and seductive manner: "No, no, no, defense can't help us win the final victory.
On the contrary, we must take the initiative and attack on all fronts to attract all the enemy's forces.
Only in this way can the turning point you just mentioned occur.
Remember, there is only one thing I have been pursuing from the beginning, and that is absolute dominance over the fourth plane.
Instead of fighting and negotiating for more rights and then continuing to share power with my foolish father who is deeply involved in the political whirlpool. "
"You mean... you have a spy in Archduke Bile's army? So as long as we lure out the enemy's main force, they will suddenly launch a backstab?"
The devil duke of the fourth level, Bathum, seemed to realize something, raised his head and his eyes began to glow slightly.
As a person who had once been loyal to Bile, but later switched to the female great devil in front of him who had the legitimate title of lord, he had already been involved in conspiracies and intrigues for thousands of years, so he knew very well what the deadly attacks hidden behind various tactics were.
In this case, launching an all-out attack despite being at a disadvantage in terms of troop strength is basically a sure sign of planting a stake within the enemy's interior.
Philna smiled meaningfully and responded, “My arrogant father always believed that he had supreme power and could easily make all the demons in the fourth plane surrender.
But he obviously forgot that hell is a place of extreme order.
From the moment I ascended the throne, the balance of power has tilted.
Although many demons continued to obey him in name, they already had their own plans in secret.
What’s more, this time I found a powerful and extremely insidious ally.
And this ally has helped arrange everything.
All we have to do is put on a great show according to the script he gave us.”
"Excuse me, who is this ally you mentioned? Could it be Grand Duke Gracia, the Lord of the Sixth Level?"
Another devil duke, Zapan, also spoke tentatively.
After all, this political stance concerns his life, property, power and status, so he has to be extra cautious.
"Gracie? Haha, she is far from qualified. She just played a role in the script like us."
After saying this, Philna licked her tempting red lips with her tongue. She no longer paid attention to the curious and inquiring eyes of her other subordinates, and began to close her eyes to prepare for the next battle.
She really hopes to stage the famous scene of "loving father and filial daughter" at the last moment and completely get rid of her father, who is the biggest stumbling block and hidden danger on her road to power.
In this way, after dozens of hours of crazy construction, two huge black fortresses were finally built under the hard work of countless devils and their enslaved laborers.
Just when Bilai's party was planning to rest before launching an attack, the commanders of the Hellfire, Scorpion and Horned Demons on Fierna's side led their armies and launched a fierce charge like mad dogs.
Because of the surprise attack and the full-scale mobilization, the former lost a large number of low-level devils and slaves who were still on the front line and had not been recalled in time at the first encounter.
Immediately following Phil's devil army, they resurrected the dead bodies and used them as undead cannon fodder and threw them into the forefront of the war.
If the Bone Demon Legion in the back had not reacted quickly enough and stepped up to stabilize the defense line in time, the fortifications that had been built with great difficulty would have been mostly destroyed when the war broke out.
At the same time, Bilaier, who had reacted quickly, also quickly deployed his troops and sent out most of his reserve troops, using his own military advantage to advance steadily and gradually erode the opponent's military strength.
As a former lord of the fourth plane, he was much better at combat command than his daughter.
At one point, this sinister and cunning great devil even developed a plan to invade the fifth and sixth levels.
In his eyes, the Lord of the Fifth Plane, Levistus, was sealed in a huge block of ice by Asmodeus during the Great Purge, and could only command his subordinates by remote control. His power had long been greatly weakened.
At that time, as long as his army moves in, he can easily sweep the entire level.
The situation on the sixth floor was similar. The lord at that time was still the previous old witch.
She wasn't even one of the Bazut Devils, and it was pure luck that she got to the top.
Unfortunately, this grand plan was completely bankrupt when Gracia came to power.
Watching the battle line in the distance gradually change from passive defense to strategic counterattack, Bilaier smiled with satisfaction and said to several confidants following him: "Fierna is still too young to adopt such an aggressive style of play.
Although at the beginning, the legion under her command did catch us off guard.
But by the time we reacted, these troops that had come out in full force with no way of retreat would soon be surrounded, divided and annihilated little by little.
Thanks to her, it looks like this war will end sooner than expected."
"Yes, it will be over soon indeed."
There was a hint of barely perceptible mockery in Kazra's eyes, and he soon joined the other devils in flattering the emperor.
Because he took a look around and found that besides his own army of thorny demons, there were only a few personal guards consisting of Hellfire Fiends and Horned Demons in the rear.
The other devil legions were sent up as reserve forces to withstand the enemy's frenzied attack during the chaos just now.
This means that if he takes action at this time, Kazra only needs to deal with no more than thirty enemies.
Although these thirty enemies are higher level than the Spike Demon, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot withstand a crushing force that is hundreds or even thousands of times stronger.
However, what surprised Kazila was that he had not received any signal to take action so far, so he could only suppress his inner urge to try and continue to use his superb acting skills to paralyze and deceive the "Regent".
On the other side, Philna had already led her guards and her lovers directly to the battlefield.
She continued to release large-scale destructive magic including meteor storms, energy absorption, earthquake and the like towards the enemies that were rushing towards her.
When the enemy's formation becomes chaotic, this female devil will rush forward wielding a giant flaming sword to kill and reap, enjoying the excitement and pleasure of having the blood splattered on her body and face.
Under the leadership of Philna, the Devil's Army, which had already shown signs of decline, regrouped once again and pushed back the counterattack by Bilair's side.
Obviously, unless Bilel took action personally, no high-level devil on the battlefield could defeat this lord of the fourth level.
Even if the Hell Demon rushed forward, he would be chopped down by the sword in two or three rounds at most.
When her whole body was soaked in blood, Philna raised the sword in her hand and shouted: "Father! Don't you even have the courage to come out and fight me?"
It was obviously impossible for Bilaier to ignore such provocative words. He immediately flew into the air with his guards and said sarcastically with contempt and disdain: "Courage? Are you qualified to talk to me about this word? Tell me, who gave you the courage to plot against me in secret?
Who made you think you could win this war?
Don't ever tell me it was that idiot Gracia.
If she didn't have a father who was the Lord of Hell, she wouldn't be qualified to be compared with other lords."
"Ah! dear father, you have finally shown yourself."
The corners of Philna's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a vicious, cruel and bloodthirsty expression, which was completely different from the cute, playful, enjoyable and joyful appearance she usually showed.
“Surrender, my foolish daughter.
You will never be my opponent in this power struggle.
If you surrender now, I will consider giving you one of the best rooms in the palace tower and allowing you to continue to have some of your entertainment."
Bilaier began to persuade them to surrender in a condescending tone.
In any case, the devil's family ties and family values are much stronger than those of the devil.
At least the devil won't sell his own children or tear them to pieces when he goes crazy.
"Hahahaha! Oh my god! Do you think you have a sure win?"
菲尔娜忍不住发出一阵狂笑。
“难道不是吗?”毕莱尔不为所动的反问道。“毕竟连你专门为我准备的那个秘密武器,现在都已经选择投入了我的怀抱,由此可见你的所作所为是多么的不得人心。”
菲尔娜止住笑声,撇了一眼远远躲在后面的愉悦魔,轻轻擦拭了一下脸颊上留下来的血迹,颇为玩味的说道:“如果您指的是格拉米尔,那我只能说这一次您看错了人。
她可不是你想象中那个受到我摆布,最终因为恐惧而逃走的棋子。
而是早就已经投靠了新的主人,正在听从新主人的命令行事。
也正是格拉米尔,亲手把您拉入了这个事先准备好的陷阱。”
“什么?陷阱!”
毕莱尔突然感觉到情况似乎有些不对劲。
正当他要转过身质问格拉米尔的时候,始终作为最后预备队的尖刺魔军团突然暴起,以惊涛骇浪之势从后方发动了攻击。
他们就像是一柄锐不可当的锋利匕首,狠狠插入毫无防备的大军背后,所过之处所向披靡,根本没有任何一支魔鬼军团能够阻挡其前进的脚步。
更要命的是,这种里应外合瞬间让原本稳固的防线直接崩溃,数不清的军团从中间被一次次的切割开。
一些原本就摇摆不定两边下注的家伙在看到这种情况,当场打出叛变的信号掉头与敌人一起向己方发动攻击。
由于叛变的军团太多,以至于那些忠于毕莱尔的魔鬼根本分不清楚谁是盟友、谁是敌人,最终不可避免的陷入了混乱和各自为战的危险境地。
“大公!大公阁下!不好了!我手下的尖刺魔军团被不知道什么人收买了!他们突然发动了叛乱!”
喀兹拉捂着腹部被划开的口子,满脸惊慌失措的跑了过来。
此时的他看上去是如此的无辜且可怜,仿佛一条被主人抛弃的狗,拼命想要展现自己的忠诚。
由于一切发生的都太过突然,以至于毕莱尔根本没反应过来究竟是怎么回事,更没有意识到就是眼前的深狱炼魔指挥官下达了背刺命令,任由其飞到自己的面前。
他下意识怒不可遏的咆哮道:“你这个蠢货!白痴!废物!竟然连自己的手下都看不住!我要你还有什么用?”
“别……别这样!大公!看在我对您忠心耿耿的份上,给我一个将功补过的机会。”
喀兹拉一把抱住对方的大腿,开始一把鼻涕一把眼泪的哭诉、乞求。
“好!那我就在给你一个机会!立刻把那些发动叛乱的尖刺魔军官全部解决掉!收拢部队重新组建防线!”
毕莱尔瞳孔内闪烁着愤怒的火焰。
如果眼神能杀人的话,那么相信这个深狱炼魔已经死了不知道多少次了。
不过就在他准备一脚将对方踹开的时候,发挥了精湛演技的喀兹拉终于亮出自己致命的獠牙。
这家伙故意装出一副疼痛难忍的样子,突然毫无征兆从腹部的伤口处拔出一根也不知道算是匕首还是刺剑的小玩意,以迅雷不及掩耳的速度,噗嗤一声扎进了毕莱尔胸口心脏的位置。
由于武器上附着了大量的抵消魔法和破魔属性,因此后者的意外术和相应的保护魔法才刚启动就被瞬间或是抵消、或是压制。
就连大魔鬼的伤害减免也在善良特性与炼银特性的双重加持下没能发挥作用。
“你?!!!!!!”
毕莱尔脸色勃然大变,立刻明白尖刺魔军团发动背刺压根不是什么叛乱,而是有预谋的里应外合。
“抱歉,大公阁下,请千万不要记恨我,因为我仅仅只是不想在这场争斗中输掉一切。”
说着,喀兹拉用力推了一下手中那件怪异武器的拉杆,将里边所存储的黑色油脂一股脑注入其中,随后快速扇动翅膀后退到安全的地方观察事态发展。
下一秒……
“啊啊啊啊!你——你往我的身体里注射了什么?”
毕莱尔大公像疯了一样立马拔出插入心脏的东西,试图把输入进去的不明物质给挤出来。
只可惜,为时已晚。
经过不断升级、改造的烁油,以难以置信的速度随着血液流遍全身。
没过一会儿功夫,毕莱尔就开始感觉到自己的身体出现了不受控制的变化,其中一只眼睛被某种粘稠的液体彻底遮蔽,手里的武器也在短短十几秒之内被分解,最终化作液态金属包裹在其中一条手臂上,取代血肉和骨骼形成充满诡异美感的机械手臂。
“不!不!不!停下!我命令你停下!”
大魔鬼试图去扯掉这些正在蚕食改造自己身体的烁油。
但遗憾的是,这一切挣扎都是徒劳的。
无论他将金属结构破坏多少次,烁油都依然能够孜孜不倦的一次又一次重新完成设计与改造。
而且下一次永远比上一次更加坚固。
哪怕将自己化作灵体形态也没办法摆脱,唯有绝望的注视着这种不可逆的变化一点一点将自己吞噬。
当毕莱尔大公从天空跌落至地面后,烁油还把那些魔鬼死亡后掉落的武器、铠甲和残骸分解吸收,对这个难得的强大个体进行不断升级迭代,慢慢汇聚成了一个令人望而生畏的庞然大物。
他看起来就像是个由金属、血肉、骨骼和冷却岩浆构成的椭圆形球体。
在球体之上则密密麻麻长出了如同触手一样粗壮的结构,支撑着下沉重的身躯移动,把沿途所有一切能够吞噬的东西全部吸进去。
至于原本的脸和身体早就已经不见了踪影,只剩下从椭圆形球体延伸出触手末端的眼球来观察周围的情况。
身体的下方则是数以千计带有粉碎和吞噬功能的嘴巴,可以把触手卷上来的一切物质分解,然后重新组合成为身体的一部分。
由于外形过于扭曲且可不可名状,以至于原本正在交战中的双方都不约而同停止了战斗,仰起头瞪大眼睛看着这震撼人心的一幕。
始作俑者的深狱炼魔——喀兹拉,更是浑身上下不受控制的吞咽口水,简直不敢相信自己刚才居然把如此危险恐怖的物品藏在身体里。
这要是但凡有那么一丁点泄露,后果简直不堪设想。
别说是他了,就连想要自己老父亲命的菲尔娜这会儿都没有做任何动作,仅仅是远远看着这个庞然大物一边不断吞噬周围的一切,一边不断发出痛苦哀嚎的惨叫声。
任何魔鬼或者其他生物,但凡敢挡在其前进的道路上,都会被毫不留情的撕碎、吞噬、分解。
“你……你给我的究竟是什么?”
沉默了良久之后,喀兹拉终于忍不住向负责传达命令的愉悦魔质问道。
“那就是烁油,索斯大人掌握的秘密武器之一。”
格拉米尔强作镇定的给出了答案。
不过只要注意那条不受控制轻微颤抖的手臂就知道,她的内心并没有表现出来的那么平静。
毕竟作为领主秘书,格拉米尔虽然知道有烁油这么个东西,但对于其真正的威力压根就没有什么明确的概念。
但现在她终于知道,为什么当初在把那件武器交到自己手里的时候,魅魔女王美坎修特会再三叮嘱一定要小心使用。
“烁油……”
喀兹拉牢牢将这个词记忆在脑海之中,并把第九层面列为绝对不能招惹的名单第一位。
正当这位深狱炼魔还想要追问一些相关情报的时候,回过神来的菲尔娜已经跨过战场,径直走到自己女儿的面前,抬起手轻轻抚摸着后者那张精致美丽的脸庞,然后将其搂在怀里深情亲吻额头、鼻尖、嘴唇、脖子……
等做完这一切,她才毫不吝啬的夸奖道:“干得不错,亲爱的女儿。
你比我想象中做的还要好,甚至完全没有引起我们那位父亲的怀疑。
难怪索斯舍不得把你牺牲掉。
作为对你出色表现的奖赏,我现在宣布你自由了,无需再受到自己血统和身份的束缚。
现在,你可以尽情去追求自己想要的生活。”
“我……自由了?”
格拉米尔抬起头用略带茫然的眼神盯着母亲。
“是的,我说话算数。”
说罢,菲尔娜便不再理会女儿,转过身将目光投向恭恭敬敬站在旁边听候发落的深狱炼魔指挥官。
大概半分钟左右,她才嫣然一笑伸出手指轻轻划过对方的脸颊和胸膛,笑盈盈的问:“强壮、机敏、狡诈的喀兹拉,你觉得我应该如何奖励你这个最大的功臣呢? 如果没有你的话,想要击败我的父亲毕莱尔可不是件容易的事情。
说不定可能会是另外一幅光景。”
“您太过奖了,领主大人。
服从您的命令是我的职责与义务。
更何况我按照吩咐扮演一个微不足道的小角色,真正的功臣另有其人。
If that adult hadn't prepared everything, I wouldn't have dared to take such an extremely risky action."
Kazila was humble for once, which was rare.
It wasn't that he didn't want to take the credit for this great achievement, but after seeing what happened to Bilair, he was truly frightened.
“You are indeed a smart man.
I like smart and capable subordinates the most.
How about this, you lead the Needle Demon Legion to sweep the entire battlefield, reorganize those demons who have laid down their weapons and surrender, and form a brand new legion.
Later I will appoint you as the commander of this legion, responsible for stationing it at the border to guard against possible sneak attacks from other lords.
How about it, are you satisfied with this reward?
At this point, Fierna suddenly paused and began to look up and down at the tall and strong figure of the Hell Demon with an aggressive look. Then she slid her fingers down along his abdomen and teased him in a naked and undisguised tone: "Or maybe you prefer another reward, such as becoming my lover? Enjoy the pleasure of love and pain with me every day?"
"Thank you for your generosity and favor, but I think the first one is enough."
Kazra rejected the tempting invitation of the female devil almost without thinking.
It's not that he is not interested in beauty and carnal desires, he just doesn't want to become one of those poor victims in the dungeons below the lord's palace.
Like Gracia, Firna is also a female devil with extraordinary desires in some aspects.
And she is not like the former, who would just suck it dry or kill it after playing with it.
Just the opposite.
Philna preferred to lock up those lovers she was tired of playing with in the dungeon of her palace, and then throw spears or other sharp objects at the imprisoned lovers below through the hollow floor, and listen to the painful wails and screams of the other party after being injured.
And compared to Gracia, who is hungry and does not care about anything, she prefers to seduce those pure and kind-hearted holy warriors, and then let them fall into the blindness of love and degenerate little by little.
It is said that beneath the huge lord's palace on the fourth floor, there are at least more than a thousand holy warrior prisoners who have either fallen or are in the process of falling, as well as some angels from the upper planes.
Just as Firna began to accept surrender, incorporate and organize the various forces on the fourth level to form her own ruling structure, Zuo Si had already arrived at the river of fire not far from the battlefield with the Khorne angel Zariel.
Their purpose is very simple, which is to recover the great devil who is being perfected - Bilaier.
Although this guy's appearance has become quite distorted, he has not been completely destroyed.
His evil core as a great devil, as well as his tenacious spirit and will, are still fighting constantly.
He was unwilling to lose everything like this, so he tried to use the high temperature of the river of fire to melt the metal and flesh wrapped around the outer layer and burn all the black oil.
"Humph! What a stubborn fellow! He is still trying to resist your great blessing and perfect evolution."
Zariel, dressed in a heavy silver-white power armor, directly pulled out the chainsaw hanging on the weapon rack behind him.
Under the roar of the oil engine, this powerful enchanted weapon immediately made a creepy buzzing sound.
"Go ahead. But be careful not to damage this new research sample. It has a very high research value."
Zuo Si had no intention of stopping it. Instead, he took two steps back to create a large enough battlefield.
Just as Zariel was about to start the jet engine and rush forward to attack, a huge army of demons suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the horizon.
The guys walking in front were carrying flags that looked like snakes, and there were so many of them that one couldn't see the end.
"That's... the army of Viscount Mammon, the lord of the third level! Is he crazy? He actually led his army directly into the fourth level!"
Zariel recognized the markings of his old rival immediately.
When the civil war broke out last time, it was Viscount Mammon who first surrendered to Asmodeus, and then led his army to rescue Grand Duke Disparte of the second level, causing her to believe that the opportunity to capture the second level had been lost, and she finally decided to withdraw her troops.
Now that I see the other party made the mistake first, it is natural that new and old grudges will surge into my heart and I want to settle the accounts together.
"Interesting! I never thought Maman would be so bold as to trample directly on the laws and rules of Hell.
Or maybe he had some secret alliance with Bilel, and he took action impatiently after realizing that his ally was in trouble.
But it doesn't matter.
Let's use his army to test the combat effectiveness of our new toys."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si raised his hand and snapped his fingers, directly issuing an order to Bilair who was tumbling in the river of fire through his own will.
moment!
The latter, who was still struggling, felt a powerful force that could not be defied, and then he soared into the air like a cannonball driven by a shiny oil engine, and smashed into Viscount Mammon's marching devil army together with the fireballs and lava rain in the sky.
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With a deafening roar and an earth-shaking tremor, Bilaier's elliptical spherical body smashed directly into the ground, creating a huge crater with a diameter of more than two kilometers.
More than two legions of hook demons and half a legion of bone demons, along with their horned demons and the commander of the Hell Demon, were turned to ashes in a single blow.
Although the subsequent lava rain did not cause any harm to the devils who were immune to fire damage, the lava pool formed after falling to the ground cut the army into two parts, front and back.
Immediately afterwards, Bilaier began to wave his tentacles, rolling the bodies of the crushed demons into his mouth continuously. Some were thrown in alive and crushed by the meat grinder-like metal structure inside.
No one knew what this sudden behemoth was, let alone how to deal with it.
Because almost all magic hit him like a tickle.
It is completely immune to all kinds of control and charm magic.
The originally neat army formation was torn apart in a very short time, and a battle of 1 VS unknown number of tens of thousands broke out.
(End of this chapter)
