Broad World

This is Baator Hell, a place where compassion withers and resentment flourishes. It is the home of devils, and it is a plane that interprets the essence of evil with the rules of order.

The first sentence of the opening chapter of "The Book of Hell" sums up the essence of the nine hells very well. Although it is connected to the bottomless abyss, there are countless laws and hidden rules here, which fully reflect the existence hidden under the order. Intrigues, cruelty and unscrupulous methods, internal fighting is going on all the time, but everything is under the control of Asmodeus, the lord of hell.

As soon as he stepped through the portal, Henry smelled an extremely strong smell of blood in an instant. He opened his eyes and saw that the front was scorched, full of gravel and wasteland. The mountains in the distance and the sloped hills on the side walls were easy to see produce a sudden feeling.

The sky was filled with blood-red rays of light, the fireballs were flying in the air, and when they fell to the ground, they would explode violently. There were bursts of huge roars, and the creek formed by the scarlet blood moved towards the farther direction. As the Styx River flowed, a large number of devil legions in armor gathered into square formations and slowly marched towards the battlefield of bloody battles.

There is no doubt that this is Avernas, the first floor of Bator Hell, and it is also the forefront of the battle between demons and demons. Unclear giant catapults lined up behind them, throwing flaming lava balls with a diameter of more than ten meters into the air.

The blood on the ground all came from the battlefield ahead, and it was the non-stop war that brought a lot of fresh blood, including demons and devils.

It has to be said that this is a bit ironic. The two races that are enemies desperately want to destroy each other, but the blood that flows out after death is perfectly fused together, rolling into the dark union.

Looking at the extremely familiar scene, Bertha couldn't help taking a deep breath of bloody air and sighed: "It's really a nostalgic smell. I haven't smelled it for more than 60 years, and it's still exactly the same as before. I really hope those damn demons are all killed."

"Kill all the demons? This joke is not funny. There is no species or force in the entire multiverse that has the ability to kill all the demons. The gods can't do it, and neither can you devils." After speaking, Henry shook his head with a smile.

Since the birth of the devil, countless gods have tried to eliminate this uncontrolled destructive force. They have formed alliances with the creatures of the heavens, and have tried to cooperate with the devils. The battlefield of the blood station. Although these methods have achieved temporary effects, but in front of the huge number of demons, everything looks so pale and powerless.

In fact, the bottomless abyss has been integrated into the entire multiverse since it has developed to this day. Maybe someone can kill the demon prince Demogorgon at a great price, but it is absolutely impossible to eradicate the demon race.

Regarding this point, both the gods and the high-level devils are very clear. The current lord of the first level of hell, Bayer, has stated in public many times that he has won countless victories. But it is impossible to destroy the demon, and it is extremely difficult for him to advance the display a little bit.

"Damn it! Can't you say something cheerful? You've disrupted my good mood!" Bertha gritted her teeth and stared back, her face full of anger.

Being a devil. She was born with an unforgettable hatred for demons. After thousands of years of fighting, this hatred has penetrated into her genes. Except for Sigil City, no matter at any time and any place, if a devil meets a devil, immediately A fierce conflict will break out, and the result often ends in the complete death of one of the parties.

Some people say that this is the nature that exists in the blood. Some people also say that this is a continuation of the bloody battle. All in all, demons and devils cannot coexist at all, even if they are restrained by powerful forces, they will continue to fight endlessly in private.

An example was mentioned in the book "A Thousand Most Despicable Ways to Die". A young mage who liked novelty once summoned erinia and succubi to serve him in order to seek excitement. Under the open and secret struggle of the poor mage, his physical strength was drained in just ten minutes. In the end, the whole person was sucked alive into a mummy.

Although it sounds exaggerated, Henry understands the hatred between devils and devils, so he shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Okay, I apologize, and at the same time, I wish you all can destroy the devils. Unify the lower plane."

"Are you sure this is a blessing and not a sarcasm?" Bertha asked back, frowning.

"Haha! Don't pay too much attention to this, it won't affect the established facts anyway. Take me to the Bronze Castle quickly. I can't wait to meet the invincible Lord Bayer, and I hope that the only one who remains undefeated in the bloody battle Your commander will not be too disappointing." Henry replied with a big smile.

If personal strength is ignored, Bayer can be regarded as one of the best strategists in the entire multiverse purely from the perspective of a general, and maybe even one of them can be omitted in a few years.

He successfully planned several plots and ambushes, which greatly weakened the demons' vitality, and he also trapped the demons in the Wanyuan Plain many times, preventing these guys from stepping into hell.

Of course, if he didn't have such a dazzling record, he might have been killed and replaced by a latecomer long ago.

Because to some extent, Bayer is not yet a complete hell lord, just like the title of the great commander on his head, unless the previous lord Zariel dies, otherwise according to the law of Bator Hell, A level can only have one lord, even if it takes another 10,000 years, it will be useless.

For her immediate boss, Bertha has always been very confident, so she raised her chin and said in a very proud tone: "Please rest assured, Mr. Bayer is the most brilliant devil in hell. Under his leadership, we will With one victory after another, perhaps in a few more years, the lord of hell, Asmodeus, will appoint him as the true lord of Avernus."

"Really? Then please lead the way." Henry didn't want to waste too much time on this issue.

In his opinion, if there is no other means, it is almost impossible for Baier to become the real Lord of Hell, because with his series of incredible achievements, he should have been promoted a long time ago. Tiers' means, as long as he does not remove Zariel's status as the lord, Bayer will not be promoted for a day. He can only stay on the front line and fight the demons desperately, constantly using victories to secure his position.

In this way, it can not only combat the arrogance of the demons, but also divert the attention of other lords, so why not do it.

Political tricks are almost common sense in Bator Hell. Many high-level devils have also studied this course. There is a textbook circulating among them, which is to teach people how to use power better. In this regard, No one can compare with the devils.

Under the leadership of Erima, the two quickly crossed the endless plains, and it didn't take long before they saw a huge fortress gradually rising on the horizon in the distance.

It seems to cover an area of ​​about forty square kilometers. From a distance, it looks very rough and rigid. There are twelve round city walls. The war machine can be called impenetrable.

In order to ensure that the castle will not be captured, the inner wall becomes higher. The advantage of this is that even if the enemy captures the outer layer, the inner layer can still be suppressed condescendingly. There is no more than 20 times the force. Don't even think about it.

After just a glance, Henry found a very good word to describe it in his brain, that is meat grinder.

He couldn't imagine how perverted the designer was, who could think of building such a huge hedgehog-like fortress. He also couldn't imagine who could capture this place. It was even more unbelievable that the city was still going on. Expanding outward, countless coolies are making scaffolding with bones non-stop, and the follow-up devils are poured with a kind of mud mixed with flesh and blood, which will soon solidify under the influence of magic.

In addition, there is a pillar piled up with skulls not far from the fortress city. The height is more than one and a half kilometers, and it is all composed of demon skulls. The smallest is only a dozen centimeters, and the largest is the same as a house. , looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.

As a knowledgeable mage, Henry recognized this thing at a glance as the "Pillar of the Skull" sung by many bards. To the entrance to the second floor of hell, as long as you follow the spiral metal spire, you will soon see the burning steel city "Dis".

Anyone going to the second level of hell must be careful though, because in the huge cavern near the base of the "Pillar of Skulls" there is a terrifying creature that keeps the entrance to the next level. Her name is Taia. Maat, a female evil dragon with five heads, white, black, red, green, and blue, each head can spit out the corresponding dragon's breath, it is said that the treasures she has hoarded exceed one hundred worlds Sum.

But the relationship between this evil dragon and the devils is not very good, and it often takes five adult male dragons to roam the passage between the first and second floors of hell, and the devils will occasionally try to attack her Lair, see if you can find those huge treasures.

Bertha pointed to the terrifying fortification consisting of twelve concentric walls ahead and said: "That is the Bronze Castle, and the building standing in the center of the city wall is Lord Bayer's private fortress."

"It's really prudent enough to put his lair in a place where it is almost impossible to be captured. Doesn't he need to go to the front line in person as the lord of the first floor of hell?" Henry asked while standing on the dry ground He wiped the blood on his boots.

Walking this way, he almost always stepped on the sticky plasma, which felt really uncomfortable, so when he reached the dry ground, he immediately started to clean the soles of his shoes, otherwise there would always be an unspeakable awkwardness. (to be continued ~^~)
