"Feige, you're finally here!" Courdan opened his arms, his warmth as if welcoming an old friend. "You're always there when it's most crucial. Tell me, what surprise did you bring this time?"

"This time it wasn't a mission, and I couldn't surprise it on my own. Fitch didn't accept Courdan's enthusiasm and took a half-step back. "Kurdan, what's wrong with you? Are you fit to be in command?"

"Oh, I thought we were close allies - I think I misunderstood. Kurdan narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists, and said, "Since we are not allies, then you and I are two expeditionary generals." How much benefit can be gained in the second world depends on the ability of each to lead the army!"

"That's how it was. Feiqi looked calmly at the teleportation passage of the cursed bone gate, but the afterglow kept on Kurdan, who was a little wrong. It seems to be a little overexcited, it's not like it usually is, maybe it's hiding some other emotion?

"I haven't participated in the World Expedition, so this time I'm mainly going to learn and gain experience for the future. Kurdan, I can't take advantage of you under the pretext of being your ally. The debt owed by greed in the present moment will always be repaid in the future. Feige said as he watched the expression of the Hellpurgatory. "Kurdan, the only personal debt I can afford right now is to ask you to explain the process to me. ”

"You have always been a very cautious devil, and I understand more and more how you got to your current position. Kurdan let out a dry laugh and pointed to the teleportation channel, "How about we go together?"

"Didn't your troops go first?" Feige asked.

"That's right!" said Kurdan, clapping his hands, then pointing forward, and the vanguard began to set off. The first to enter the portal are the thirty bone demons, in addition to having the tough body of the devil, they also have some resistance similar to the undead, so the cost performance of adapting to the environment is the highest among the devils. The Bone Demon vibrated its wings and entered in batches, followed by an army of servants and demons mixed with demons. An army of Horned Demons followed suit to protect the caster team of Hell. Once they have gained a foothold, they are made up of a large army of minions of inferior demons, and the last to enter in the entire attack sequence are the hired adventurers.

"Those mercenaries were put last to prevent them from affecting our devil's first attacks. This attack must be fruitful, and it is very important to immediately establish a base for conquest. "It is generally expected that the most dangerous time is around the time when the base is built, and the local forces will fight back, and this is when the mercenaries can do their part," Kuldan explained to Feiqi. ”

It is not necessary to think about it to know that this "contribution" is very dangerous and often fatal. The devils know this, and the mercenaries know it in their hearts. It's like a game of drumming and passing flowers, where the mercenaries each think they are smarter than the others and can be the ultimate winner, and the devil reaps the benefits of the overall odds of winning.

Feige was shocked, was he a mercenary beating the drum or a devil enjoying his success in this game? Will he feel that he will always win because of the success in Hell before? Is Courdan's expression before thinking too much, or is it a premonition of danger?

He remained silent on the surface, following Kuldan towards the portal, and thinking inwardly. In all possible dangers, entering the portal will not be a problem - his plan to rally an army into the Second World cannot be changed for Feige. So where will the danger come from? Feige looked at the cursed bone gate that was getting closer and closer, and the remaining ten meters of distance was likely to be his last safe distance.

'What can Kuldan do during this time, what will he do, and what will be the impact?' Feige thought quickly through the question in his head, but could not get an answer. Kurdan walked behind him, a position that was too dangerous for him and gave the Hellpurgatory too much of an advantage. The mercenaries and the devil reappeared in Feige's mind, and he knew he had to make a decision.

Holding the cat teasing stick in his right hand, Feige secretly activated the magic matrix, and the mana required for the spell continued to accumulate. As soon as he stepped into the teleportation array, the shapeshifting spell was fired, and all the phantoms shot at the opposite end of the cursed bone gate. So, when he stepped out of the Cursed Bone Gate, there were already more than twenty phantoms waiting for him there.

Therefore, Feige was able to rely on the phantom to change his position in the first place. By the time Kuldan walked out the door, Fitch was already casting a second teleportation spell. There was a flash of light, and Feige completely disappeared in front of the devil.

"Feiqi?" Kuldan looked at the Feiqi illusion that was slowly disappearing in front of him in surprise, and immediately changed his expression, and yelled angrily at the surrounding servants, "Where did he go?

"Lord Kuldan, more than twenty Feiqi just came out at once, and we recognized that all of them were illusions, so we didn't use the dimensional anchor. I didn't think he could use illusion teleportation, and all of a sudden, he was out of the range of our spells. And these illusions of Feige will ...... Ugh!"

Kurdan let go of his hand, allowing the servant who dared to make excuses for failing the mission to slide out of his hands. Breaking the neck of a clumsy hand didn't make it feel better, and Zariel's admonition came to its mind.

"That demon of lust is very strange, he has deceived me into gaining the ability to steal the devil, and only a high-level devil who can use certain spell skills can ensure that he is caught. Remember, his strength is only a mid-level Lust Demon, but his ability to hide and escape is very strong, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live now. Prevent him from escaping, and then be able to catch him. ”

Kuldan looked around with a frown. Although he knew that Feiqi had escaped with some kind of teleportation spell, the strong spatial spell fluctuations of the Cursed Bone Gate had obscured Feiqi's teleportation tracks, so it was impossible to know which direction he had fled to. "Damn, you idiots! You made me lose the Lord Crystal! You know? It's a Lord Crystal from a Lord-level devil!"

After entering the Bronze Fortress, the Hellpurgatory Demon Kurdan couldn't contain his curiosity, and according to Feiqi's clues, he found Zariel. Feige appears to both of them as the "Secret Emissary of Asmodeirs", so the two demons only confirm this image more in their conversation. In Feige's plan, if Zarel leaves the cage, then her first target must be the current lord Bayer, which will help him fish in troubled waters, and if she does not leave the cage, then her image in Kurdan's mind will only be more mysterious and powerful, so it will be earned no matter what.

His idea is actually the same as those mercenaries who came to hell, just wishful thinking to ask the plot to develop according to his own design. In fact, he underestimated Zariel's hatred for himself, his wariness, and Kurdan's greed. When Zarel told Kuldan about the Lord Crystal, the latter immediately had the idea of taking it.

Zariel captures Kurdan's thoughts and fuels the fire. "Feige is just a demon of desire, and his position could easily be replaced by a loyal and powerful Hell Lord. When he enters another world from the Cursed Bone Gate, the infernal power carried by the title General of Conquest will truly activate the Lord Crystal, which you can take from you. In the future, you'll have the opportunity to activate another crystal with your title. Kurdan, think about it, if Feige uses crystals when he steps out of the bone gate, he will turn the teleportation exit into his own territory. His powerful evil aura is enough to transform the demons of the scene and become their masters. and all that you have will be his. ”

Kurdan blurted out: "Why did he do that? Obviously, the benefits of cooperating with me are even greater." ”

"His ambition is much greater than yours, and that's why you still can't understand it. Zariel said lightly: "When he makes a move, you may have a chance to understand, but there is absolutely no chance to turn the tables." He lied to me......"

Kurdan, as a deep hell purgatory who surrendered his identity to attend the war zone meeting in order to be able to gain a little more benefits, still has a little inferiority complex behind his arrogance. It was able to cooperate with Feige, not only because it had touched the shadow of Asmodeirs through Feige, but also because it could find complete confidence in Feige, a kind of confidence that could control the situation, by virtue of its rank advantage.

And now that Feige slipped out of the palm of his hand, that confidence had taken a major blow - but that could never be shown. "Although he ran, it was just a little more energy to chase. A demon of desire, a little more cunning, does not mean how much wind and waves he can stir up. Get the camp done first, although there are no gods here, there must be gods. ”

Seeing that Kurdan did not continue to vent his anger with them, the devils hurried to action while breathing a sigh of relief, for fear of hitting the muzzle of the gun again. Kurdan still hadn't given up looking for Feiqi, he kept looking around, wondering where the demon had gone?

Feige hid in the sky, on a floating continent to be exact. The Cursed Bone Gate is the strongest teleportation channel in the entire Hell, and it has the ability to allow demons to reach the surface of the core of the Second World. As soon as Feige stepped out of the Cursed Bone Gate, the first thing he saw was the giant continent floating above his head.

It is a relatively low orbital continent shaped like a slender ship, with scattered greenery and a small blue lake, suggesting that it still retains its simple ecosystem. In fact, no matter what the environment of this continent is, Feiqi has no choice but to teleport himself. He cast his invisibility against the devil and immediately hid behind it, completely avoiding Kurdan's gaze.

"Why did Kuldan do it to me?" Fitch had already seen as he stepped out of the portal as he had created the phantom he had created being hit by a yellow spell ray that gave off the familiar smell of a dimensional anchor spell. "The devil has to act, either profit-driven or to show power. Kuldan certainly not for the latter, otherwise he would have done it at the time of the Bronze Fortress. Definitely for some kind of benefit!But it didn't know I was coming to the fortress today, and I really didn't notice it was giving orders to the minions on the fly. ”

"In other words, it's just an instruction in advance, and if it sees me, use the dimensional anchor to prevent me from escaping. It's kind of weird......" Feige analyzed the matter by hiding in the shadows. "There are at least fifteen servant demons outside the portal, and the first reaction to one of my desires is to prevent me from escaping? It could only be that Kuldan explicitly ordered them to do so, and the reason for the order was ......"

"Zariel!" Fitch finally thought of the possibility. "The biggest possibility is Zariel, she knows the Painted Leather Book, and she knows that I come in many forms, so she knows that direct killing doesn't really kill me. While it's uncertain if she told Kurdan about the multi-form nature of the Painted Leather Book, she certainly suggested a tactic like Dimensional Anchor Trapping. ”

"Zariel is not in a hurry to get out of the cage, and instead of taking advantage of Bayer's absence, he is busy plotting with Kurdan against me? Does she hate me that much?" Feige finally understood what he had missed: not everyone will always act in the best interest, and there will always be variables. "Now that Zariel is involved, she needs to have a reason to convince Kurdan to do it. Kuldan won't risk it for a former lord who is still in a cage, but for a lord crystal ......"

Kurdan is only a devil general, in charge of the conquest of the Second World, he is not a lord devil, and Zariel did not give it lord crystals. According to the conventions of hell, a deep hell purgatory, if he can complete the world conquest, he has proved that he can be the devil lord, and only then will he give it the lord crystal. After becoming a Lord, the Hellpurgatory can make his own Lord Crystals, which can be used to reward and entrap other Devils. Courdan followed the usual path, and Feige took the shortcut.

As soon as Fei Qi took out the Lord Crystal, the Demon Black Wing behind him immediately opened, and powerful evil aura poured into the crystal. This process lasted only a second before stopping, after which a red tornado of flames appeared in the center of the crystal. The fire tornado runs through the crystal from top to bottom, and its crooked body has nine slightly protruding ring-like structures, symbolizing the nine layers of hell. At this point, information from Hell travels from the crystal to Feiqi's mind about how to use the crystal and how to expand the territory.

This information was important, but he didn't have time to concentrate on studying it for the time being. Feiqi, who was targeted by the devil's army, was like a frightened bird, quickly gathered the evil aura, put the crystal back into the space bag, and then quickly transferred. He entered the six-winged form and flew as fast as he could on the back side of the floating continent.

Meanwhile, the devil is still marching in an orderly manner. The Horned Demons, under the command of the Bone Demon and the Ice Demon, began to establish a defensive position, and a group of tall humanoid demons, all wrapped under cloaks, passed through the portal. They saluted Kurdan in unison, and then they came to the center of the camp on their own, at the core of the layers of protection, and quickly formed a circle.

The devil lifted his hood, and they were all contract demons. Unlike Feiqi's original contract demons, these mysterious cloak contract demons are covered in golden hell writing all over their bodies, even their faces and tongues. They knelt on the ground, hundreds of long scrolls flying out of their necklines, cuffs, and hems of their cloaks, and the golden words of the covenant shining brightly. The scrolls were connected to each other under the command of the contract demon and began to spin, concentrating on the center of the circle. The scrolls grew more and more and tighter, and the golden words were connected in the light, like a pool of golden water boiling and tumbling.

The breath of hell continues to spread outward from the pool, and the breath of the second world continues to retreat. The demons took a deep breath, one by one, and felt full of power.
