Chapter 1020: Chapter 36: Since You’re Here Demons also have divisions of strength. Those who have been to the battlefield are completely different from those who haven’t.
The battlefield here refers to the ’Abyssal Blood War’.
Since the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus, established Baator Hell, the frequency of demons harassing the Material Plane and higher planes has significantly decreased. More than half of the forces of the Bottomless Abyss are tied up on the Abyssal Blood War battlefield, with tens of thousands of demons being continuously worn down by the devilish elite every day.
It can be said that no race understands how to restrain demons better than the devils of Baator Hell.
Duncan’s figure slowly stepped into the Plague Horn Sound.
"My lord."
"Please follow me."
An enchanting demon sorceress cast a flirtatious glance at him and cautiously led the way in front, her attitude extremely respectful and humble. However, as she walked, her slender waist swayed gently, her large, voluptuous hips quivering slightly like a tail-wagging plea, and her tail, glinting with cold spikes, swayed slightly in the air.
The Tanari enchantresses are demons born from human lust. Their every appearance and ability are meant to satisfy sexual desires and capture the souls of mortals.
There is something too pure about the aura of this man.
With just a slight move, he made these formidable enchanting demon sorceresses feel the aura of a Blood War veteran. In the meat grinder of the Blood War on the Ten Thousand Abyss Plain, tens of thousands of demons and devil legions would often clash. If a lord from one side personally joined, or if one of the Three Giants of the Abyss was drawn in, the scale of the war could expand to the level of millions.
Of course, the troop ratio of demons to devils is often ten to one.
Although demons are many and powerful, due to their disorderly nature, as soon as they are subjected to a beheading action, an army of tens of thousands of demons quickly descends into chaos, often being brutally beaten by the well-trained devilish elites.
There is an enormous difference in combat effectiveness between disciplined and undisciplined armies.
Demons in the Bottomless Abyss have been like monsters to be slain by devils, and they have been for thousands of years.
Here, you never have to worry about troops. The Material Plane continuously sends souls into the abyss, and higher-ranking demons have to pick and choose to select some to be promoted to low-ranking demons.
The overall strength of the Bottomless Abyss is a pyramid structure.
The powerful Demon Lords are quite limited, the number of higher-ranking demons is also not vast, mid-ranking demons are more common, usually acting as managers, while low-ranking demons are vast and unending. As long as you’re willing to venture out, you can gather a group of low-ranking demons.
Many cannon fodder die every day, and of an army of low-ranking demons that have fought the Blood War, at most, only a few lucky ones can be promoted to new demon forms.
Under the influence of the Abyssal Will, every Demon Lord has the obligation to support the Abyssal Blood War battlefield.
This is the ’tithing’ of the Bottomless Abyss.
Duncan returned to the hall once more, but this time, Red Gown appeared to greet him, her attitude much warmer, yet carefully maintaining an appropriate distance from Duncan, because she was genuinely afraid of this man suddenly erupting in violence.
With a battle strength at the Balrog Flame Demon level, even an ordinary Demon Lord may not be able to hold their own.
Red Gown rules the Broken Domain, and the tithing (cannon fodder) handed over by the succubus queen, Meikanshute, to the Abyssal Will is managed by her.
Those cannon fodders sent to the Abyssal Blood War are often male enchantresses or those low-ranking enchantresses not favored. Meikanshute’s favorites generally do not appear on Abyssal Blood War battlefields.
But recently, there have been some exceptions.
According to rumors, a high-ranking enchantress escaped from the Abyssal Blood War, and the more outrageous rumor is that she actually became a ’Paladin’.
An Enchanting Demon Paladin.
The rumor is so outrageous that Red Gown is not bothered to investigate because she simply doesn’t believe it.
Could enchantresses, with their wanton nature, become Paladins?
Ridiculous.
But she might have overlooked one thing, that during the Aici Celestial Race’s counterattack on the Bottomless Abyss, many noble and holy celestial souls fell into the hands of the enchantress queen Meikanshute. If one of those souls awakens some past life memories, it’s not impossible they could overcome the wanton nature of an enchantress through sheer will.
Although rumors have emerged, no one has seen that Enchanting Demon Paladin to this date.
In the hall.
Duncan subtly sat on that chair forged from devil corpses, then let his hand fall, playing with the armrest’s skull, which was the head of a chain demon.
This aura and atmosphere, combined with Duncan’s evil energy of a Dark Guard, even made the surrounding enchanting demon sorceresses lower their heads in awe.
Duncan’s way of toying with the skull was too natural.
Even Red Gown couldn’t help but wonder where this dark overlord in front of her came from!
Anyway, she didn’t believe those righteous and good people could be so at ease.
"Present it," Duncan said indifferently.
Behind him, Kroglas, Soul Eater, carefully presented the fly demon’s head. In just a day, this character, notable even in the Broken Domain, akin to a gun merchant, had nearly become Duncan’s attendant.
Red Gown glanced disinterestedly at the head before slowly sitting down and gently raising her finger. With her blood-red sharp nails, she gestured, and all the surrounding enchanting demon sorceresses withdrew.
