Chapter 553 The Fate of the Sinner
Following Lorencos through the fortress, Amber once again felt the enormity of the fortress.
Compared with this fortress, the Ryan Imperial Capital is nothing. Moreover, this military fortress was built entirely for war. The structure inside is tortuous and like a maze. Even the devils inside the fortress may find it difficult to recognize all the roads.
Even such a huge fortress has been captured by demons. Although it was recaptured later, it still shows how powerful the demon army is.
The fact that Grand Duke Bayer was able to preside over the Blood River Battlefield for so many years shows that he is a top-notch commander. It's a pity that greed is an evil thought that every devil cannot control, and he eventually got into all kinds of trouble because of his greed.
So why did this greedy general suddenly come to me?
With doubts, Amberxiu walked for a long time and finally arrived at the core area of the Blood River Fortress.
Grand Duke Bayer, like a giant, sat in the center of the hall, with dozens of magic mirrors in front of him, constantly monitoring every area of the Blood River battlefield. In the never-ending war, one must never let down one's guard. Perhaps this is also a kind of punishment. Even if one is a devil grand duke, one must follow the laws of hell - sins will eventually be paid for.
In addition to Bayer, there were several equally huge seats on both sides, a total of eight, as if there were eight devils who could sit on equal footing with Bayer. However, most of these seats were now empty, with only a disgusting giant fly and a dog-headed devil sitting next to Bayer.
Amberxiu had heard of these eight positions. They should be the eight warlords of hell. Their status was almost the same as Bayer's, but Bayer was the chief general and had outstanding military achievements. The other eight warlords would generally obey Bayer's orders.
Amber Xiu couldn't tell who the fly demon and the dog-headed demon were. He only knew that the three giants were looking down at him, and he felt quite stressed.
These three are gods, the kind of beings who can crush mortals to death with just a single finger.
As for the room full of enemies that Amber thought he would see... they were probably hiding in the inconspicuous corners on both sides of the hall. Anyway, there were so many shadows over there that even Lorencos blended in obediently after entering the room, not daring to be exposed to the eyes of the three devil dukes.
The magic mirror floated towards the three people. The closer it got, the more obvious the pressure became, and even the height at which it floated was constantly decreasing.
When it was about to touch the ground, Amber stopped and respectfully saluted the three devil dukes.
"Grand Duke Bayer, there are two respected gods. I wonder if there is anything you want a mortal like me to do for you."
Bayer did not speak, but stared at Amber with his scarlet eyes, as if he wanted to suck his soul out of the mirror.
Unfortunately, although Amber appeared on the mirror, he existed in countless magic mirrors at the same time. Bayer's perception was completely unable to lock his position. The only thing he could do seemed to be to crush the mirror in front of him, but there was no point in doing so.
Bayer laughed and said, "No wonder you can move freely. With Zariel's character, you should be impaled on an iron spear and roasted in hellfire for several years."
"Grand Duke Bayer, you are too kind. It was just a trivial trick. Mortals will never have the power to resist gods. Grand Duke Zariel just doesn't care about me, but he can't do anything to me."
Amber Xiu still maintained the necessary humility in his words.
You can do extreme things, but you cannot say extreme words. This is one of the life lessons that Amber has learned.
"Don't show off your tongue. The name of the Deceiver is known to everyone even in the Blood River Fortress. However, no matter what, you are a sinner who has gone to hell. You have a share of responsibility in this bloody battlefield. You brought a lot of supplies just now, just consider it as an advance payment of your meritorious rewards. From now on, this battlefield will be handed over to you."
Bayer drew a circle on the dozens of projections, and one of them was enlarged and displayed in front of Amberxiu.
It was a volcano that was constantly spewing magma, and the flowing magma turned into two rivers, dividing the battlefield.
More than a dozen space cracks appeared around the volcano, and demons continued to pour out of them and fight with the devil troops stationed near the volcano.
"Your mission is simple. Just seal these space cracks so that the troops on this battlefield can support other locations. I will teach you how to seal the space cracks. Although it cannot permanently isolate the erosion of the abyss, it will not be a problem to seal them for three to five years..."
Bayer was talking to himself, but Amberxiu was confused. Taking advantage of the moment when the devil archduke paused, Amberxiu quickly interrupted and said, "Wait, Archduke Bayer, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do this. I can't lead troops to fight."
Bayer said nonchalantly: "If you can't lead troops, then do it yourself. We don't care whether you are a general or a soldier, we just need you to complete the mission."
Amber sighed and could only make his words clearer.
"Grand Duke Bayer, what I just took away was promised to me by Grand Duke Zariel. It is not a reward for battlefield merit. If you have any objections, perhaps you can discuss it directly with Grand Duke Zariel."
Who wants to go to the battlefield, especially a war where there is no winner or loser, only meaningless sacrifices. Bayer suddenly asked him to go to the battlefield. This situation is not right. It is different from everything Amber expected.
Wasn't this traitor trying to recruit him to fight against Zariel together? Why did he act like a villain and let him be cannon fodder on the battlefield?
Amber Xiu couldn't figure it out, so he could only see if he could avoid it.
However, before Bayer could open his mouth, the other two devil dukes laughed at him.
"This kid thinks he has a choice?"
"How stupid! You are a so-called fraudster, but you can't even see this clearly?"
Amber Xiu looked at the two strange devil dukes calmly and said calmly: "The two dukes may not be too familiar with me. I have dealt with many gods. The God of Alchemy, the God of Mermaids, the Lord of Dawn, etc. Every god who is on good terms with me will get what he wants more or less. I have always cooperated happily with these gods.
"Of course, there are unhappy times, but that's when both sides are unhappy. I've been to Talos's kingdom of gods. The ruined tower is very desolate and empty. It can not only accommodate one Kuo-Tao fish goddess, but also a few more gods without seeming crowded. Do you understand what I mean?"
Amber's meaning was simple. All the gods who offended him suffered. Shar, Rose, and Bribodup all suffered more miserable fates than the others. He didn't want to break up with these devil dukes, but since the threat was already before him, he had to remind them tactfully.
Amber was pushed into a corner and he actually paid Zariel and Mammon to give the fly and the dog head to Talos as pets.
It’s just kidnapping a god. It happens once, twice.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This is Amber's feat that makes him superior to ordinary people, allowing him to maintain a dignified attitude when facing the three devil dukes.
Amberxiu's words made the two devil dukes shut up. Their anger turned into tangible rage that appeared on the fly and the dog head. Even the magic mirror was slightly deformed by the heat, and it seemed that it would melt at any time.
But Amber didn't care. It was just a magic mirror and had no effect on him.
It would be better if these two idiots destroyed the magic mirror directly. Amberxiu could just find an excuse to run away. Whoever falls in love can go to the battlefield.
Bayer obviously didn't expect Amber Xiuzhen to be so bold.
Although he had heard the name Deceiver many times, this was the first time in Bayer's long life that he had seen a mortal who dared to threaten the gods face to face.
But Amber's threat was quite effective.
He actually kidnapped a goddess of medium power and gave her to Talos as a concubine. This was considered a heroic feat even for a god.
No wonder Zariel didn't dare to take direct action against him and could only resort to some tricks.
Bayer was very happy. Any mortal who could make Zariel unhappy was his friend. This talented person must stay in the Blood River Fortress.
Therefore, Bayer waved his hand and asked the two devil dukes, Fly and Doghead, to retract their anger.
Bayer said to Amber, "You feel that you are free to choose, and on the surface it is true. You are unrestrained, and we cannot influence you. But your ambition is more than that, right? You are not trapped in this broken mirror for the rest of your life, right?"
Amber Xiu heard the hidden meaning in Bayer's words and asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with going to the battlefield?"
"Sinners who go to hell will eventually need to atone their sins, no matter what the method. I don't know what's going on with you right now, but no one can escape the laws of hell. You are a sinner who goes to hell after all. If a sinner wants to break through the mortal body and become a true god, then there is only one way for you.
"Step into the bloody river, join the war, and win enough merit to be promoted. Otherwise, your sins will forever lock you in your current state, and no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to break free.
"Trickster, I knew from the first sight that your ambitions are greater than mine. You want to become a god, even a powerful god above Zariel and me, so going to the battlefield is your only choice.
"To die in a bloody battle, or to be reborn in the flames of war, this is the fate of sinners!"
Amber listened to Bayer's words in silence, then sneered and said to Bayer: "You just said... fate?"
