"What?
Gracia is gathering her troops!
What exactly does she want to do?
Do you really think that with Asmodeus backing you, you can do whatever you want?
Immediately put our troops on the border into combat readiness!"
Viscount Maman, the lord of the third level who is closest to the fourth level of hell, Phlegthos, made an extremely violent reaction almost immediately.
At this moment, this big devil with a human upper body torso, head and arms, and a venomous snake in the lower body is roaring with rage with its forked tongue.
Although he once had an extremely close relationship with the Princess of Hell, and even almost became a legal couple, they finally had to break off the relationship due to the strong interference of the Lord of Hell.
And as Gracia became the lord of the sixth level, she began to actively participate in various politics and power games, especially encouraging Ms. Filna to kill her father, Archduke Bilaire, and replace him, which seriously damaged the interests of Viscount Maman.
Follow the plan.
Because the big devil's plan is to maintain the state of the fourth level power game, and then use it as a threat to force the cunning Archduke Bilaire to compromise and form an alliance with him.
In this way, he can get rid of the traitor label he was labeled for prematurely surrendering to Asmodeus during the previous great purge operation, regain a nominal ally, and then use this as an opportunity to integrate into a certain camp.<
/p>
Obviously, in the eyes of Viscount Maman, his former lover has now become a very dangerous enemy.
What's even more frightening is that this enemy has Asmodeus's support behind him, and unlike other veteran level lords, he doesn't abide by some of the unspoken rules of the conventional level.
Quite the opposite!
Gracia has been breaking the rules since she took office. The first thing she bore the brunt of was the merciless purge and massacre of the former lord, the old hag, on the day she took office.
The Princess of Hell would rather rebuild the ruling system than compromise, and she did not leave even the slightest hidden danger for herself.
Therefore, according to Viscount Maman's judgment, this young Queen of Desire is definitely not just making a gesture, she is really likely to take actual actions.
As for lovers turning against each other, it is nothing in hell.
After all, in the eyes of the devil, strength, power and status are the most important, and everything else must be put aside.
The most important thing is that Viscount Maman doesn't think that Zuo Si, who rules the ninth level, can take down the scheming Gracia with just a letter of authorization.
So all these actions must be more based on Gracia's thoughts.
But what’s really interesting is that Viscount Maman’s actions instantly aroused the vigilance of Archduke Dispater on the second level, who also began to gather troops at the border.
Following closely, Levistus, the lord of the fifth level, also mobilized his troops to join the game.
The result is that except for Bayer on the first level who is commanding the demon army to launch an attack on the first few levels of the bottomless abyss, all the other lords are either taking the initiative or being forced to get involved. It seems that the posture is another important one.
A civil war broke out.
As we all know, the politics of hell is a complex network, and the relationship between the layer lords and the devil aristocrats is often complicated and confusing.
Some of them are hostile, some are in alliance, and some are trying to contain each other. It can be said that one move affects the whole body.
On weekdays, when we abide by the unwritten rules and maintain restraint, it is naturally good for you, good for me, and good for everyone.
But when one lord starts to break the rules and take extreme actions rashly, all the lords will immediately take the same action in response.
For example, last time Zariel, a war madman, suddenly turned around the troops gathered on the front line to participate in a bloody battle, and attacked the lord of the second level - Archduke Disbat.
This move directly triggered the comprehensive intensification of the conflict between the two major political groups, the eighth-level lord Mephistopheles and the seventh-level lord Archduke Balzebul, which eventually evolved into a tragic devil's civil war.
What's even more annoying is that after the siege of Dis on the second floor failed, Zariel quickly withdrew to Avernus on the first floor, pretending to be watching the fire from the other side, and never joined the battle again from the beginning to the end.
Group.
On the contrary, the other lords were almost losing their minds, until Asmodeus stepped forward to launch a great reckoning that frightened countless devils.
Therefore, Zarrell was not unjust at all when he was ousted from power and imprisoned, and he definitely deserved it.
Those devils who followed her and were demoted because of their obedience to orders almost hated this crazy daughter of war.
Precisely because of the lessons learned from the past, the lords at other levels have learned the lesson this time and are simply preparing instead of taking rash action.
They wanted to see what the daughter of the Lord of Hell would do.
However, the behavior of many lords setting up troops at the border has put a lot of pressure on Ms. Fierna and Archduke Beria, who are engaged in the final power struggle on the fourth level.
Especially the high-level devils who stood in separate teams and were loyal to both sides, each and every one of them felt the coming storm.
Among them, Kazira, the commander of the spiked demon army stationed in Abrimoc Fortress, lives in suffering every day.
Because this Hell Fiend is the only powerful person who has not made a clear stance so far.
The reason is also very simple.
When he was appointed, his appointment letter was signed by Filna and Bilaire.
This also means that these two princes are his direct superiors, and they both hold the power of life and death that can demote them.
No matter which one you fall towards, it means you will be retaliated by the other one.
Therefore, Kazira could only adopt a neutral attitude and wait for time, hoping that the power struggle between the two sides would end soon, and then he would not have to worry too much about being dealt with after the fact as long as he submitted the certificate of surrender.
But the problem is that the army of spiked demons in his hands is the elite of the elite at the fourth level.
In the hell promotion system, the only high-level demons that are higher than the spiked demon are the ice demon, the horned demon, and the pit demon.
The Bone Demon, the Desire Demon, and the Barb Demon are all ranked below the Spike Demon.
At this moment, the Hell Fiend Commander is standing on the top of the fortress with a sad face, looking down at this solid fortress built on the crater of an extinct volcano and made of cooled magma, obsidian and crystal.
He now desperately hopes that the great and omnipotent Lord of Hell can stand up and bring this political and power struggle to an end as soon as possible.
However, the cunning and clever Kazira did not do anything. He secretly sent people to spread lies among the soldiers about a dead god who was about to be resurrected, as a way to prevaricate the summons of his two immediate superiors.
In fact, there is an ancient legend in Abrimoc Fortress, that is, a god who was killed by Asmodeus was buried in the crater of the extinct volcano.
And underneath this fortress is the opponent’s grave.
Because of this, no matter who the lord of the fourth level is, he will station heavy troops here to suppress the strong resentment and curse left over from the death of the god.
I have to say that this move was quite beautiful, and it also bought quite a bit of buffer time for the Pit Demon Commander.
Unfortunately, as the situation began to develop in an uncontrollable direction, he had reached the time when he had to make a choice.
Otherwise, both Philna and Bilaire will try their best to solve this huge hidden danger before taking action.
"Sigh - why didn't I realize when I got promoted that this place was a big pit?"
Kazira couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh, raised his fist and slammed the huge stone table made of obsidian.
Just when he was about to weigh the pros and cons and risk everything to choose to swear allegiance to Fierna or Belair, a spiked demon adjutant suddenly walked in from outside, first bent down and bowed respectfully, and then
Kaikouhui reported: "General! There is a guy outside who claims to have a solution to your current predicament.
She is very mysterious, hiding herself under a huge black cloak.
We can't see clearly what she looks like, let alone her race and identity.
Do you want to meet her?"
"Mysterious man?"
Kazira raised his head with a glimmer of vigilance in his eyes.
Because he was not sure whether the person who came to him at this time was a messenger, a lobbyist, or an assassin sent by his two immediate bosses.
Although assassinating a powerful pit fiend is not an easy task, it is not completely impossible.
At least there are many powerful creatures in hell and even some weak gods who are willing to be hired to complete this task.
The spiked demon adjutant obviously understood his boss's concerns very well, and quickly added: "The opponent is about 1.7 meters tall, and his body shape does not look very tall and strong, but gives people a relatively thin impression.
Moreover, it is impossible to hide any large weapons under the cloak. The most are daggers, bayonets and daggers.
In contrast, what needs special attention is the dangerous magic items that may be carried.
I tried to detect her alignment and the arcane aura on her body, but ultimately failed.
Obviously, the other party either came prepared or wore corresponding equipment."
"In that case, then bring her in first and let me see her."
After thinking for a long time, Kazira finally made a rather risky decision with the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
"Understood!"
