For Jensen, a former paladin, faith was not just a worship of a god, but a way of life.

When others reach out to you, you should be the first to thank you. But because of the shackles of the "Silent Proverbs", Jensen could only hide these words in his heart, and had to look forward to the future - if he could, he would pay back this "debt".

Half an hourglass hour had passed since the last besieging demon had been slain, and without the urging of the Batzu gendarmerie, the heterogeneous mercenaries who had participated in the defense of the fortress had all begun their hard-won repairs in turn.

Jensen's already broken armor and weapons had been completely scrapped in the last battle, so he received some new rations at the Quartermaster's Office: a broad-bladed short sword, a round shield made of wrought iron, a set of armor with a helmet, a spear weighing more than seven feet, and a few throwing axes.

These pieces of equipment are valuable in any physical plane, but they can only be regarded as ordinary goods in the fortress of Batzu.

"The devils have really invested all the wealth they have obtained from all corners of the multiverse into the bottomless pit of bloody war. While secretly slandering, the former paladin Jensen sharpened the blade of his weapon with greased sandpaper.

Although Jensen's judgment is quite fallaous, it cannot be said to be completely unreasonable.

For creatures from the lower realms, although wealth is good "food" to satisfy the evil desire of greed, no one with some ability will refuse to collect goods that show their strength and power.

But for them, or for the demons in high positions, the confrontation between order and chaos at the philosophical level, which is weaker or stronger, will not only be related to their strength, but also to the meaning of their own existence.

Therefore, in the blood bank, the Devil of Batzu never hesitated to invest his wealth. What's more, most of them are assigned by the superiors to the devils in the middle and lower positions to bear, and the devils naturally do not have any psychological burden when they are generous to others.

In fact, this is because Quis's fortress is only a mercenary fortress on an alien plane, and some of the vanguard troops composed of pure Batzu devils who are also "airdropped" to the Acid Mist Canyon plane actually have more adequate supplies.

It's just that the better equipped you are, the more likely you are to encounter more dangerous opponents.

An army composed entirely of the Batzu Devils roamed the lands of the Acid Mist Canyon plane, carefully and swiftly traversing the ravine-filled terrain that concealed the volcanoes underground.

Unlike Quest, who was airdropped to this plane along with the entire fortress, this Batto vanguard army adopted a "movement warfare" strategy. By constantly moving, it carefully takes care of some small groups of Tanari demons, and does not give the enemy any chance to use their numerical superiority to encircle and annihilate them.

The reason for this tactic is that the high-ranking devil who commands this army is extremely familiar with this tactic. He was once a "god" worshipped by a centaur tribe in an unknown country in ancient times, and he was a tyrant.

Gods and demons are a relatively rare type of devil and do not have their own race.

As the spirits and beings worshipped in the image of gods by ignorant primitive mortals from the age of darkness and ignorance, these primordial gods were abandoned and forgotten when true gods and beliefs were born. Therefore, when Hell opened its doors to them, these false gods gladly accepted the invitation and gift from the Nine Hells and transformed into a member of Batzu They.

As the worship totem of the former centaur clan, this tyrant god and demon itself is like a centaur magnified dozens of times. It's just that after experiencing "Bato's Gift", its original four hooves have become curled animal grasps, wings covered with scales have grown on its back, and many of the iconic double horns of Batzu have grown on its head.

This commander was once a god worshipped by the centaur tribe in the field of warfare, so after taking refuge in Bato, he also wanted to use his expertise in the corresponding field to "repay" the grace of the Nine Hells.

As a former mortal worshipper, every tyrant is always thinking about returning to the material plane with the power he has gained in Bato, to pick up the glory that has faded.

This is nothing more than such a wish, which in Bato requires an equivalent exchange to obtain. Even because of the "venture capital" of Bato's Nine Prisons, it is more difficult for the gods and demons to go to the material world than the other Bad Zu demons, unless they can obtain enough merit.

The god and demon who was leading the team forward were very excited at this time. According to the agreement signed with Bato's First Layer Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, as long as he completes the current task of establishing the Hell Gate Fortress, he will have accumulated enough merit to return to the material plane.

In order to ensure the smooth completion of the agreement, the gods and demons not only risked their lives to the bottomless abyss, but also used their long-accumulated wealth to recruit a group of powerful Butzu vassals such as the Fear Demon and the Blood Armor Demon, and equipped them with luxurious weapons and equipment. Even the scouts for this army were made up of a number of strong six-legged sickle men who had been carefully selected from among the nine prisons.

As a former pseudo-god in the field of centaur race warfare, this tyrant is incomparably familiar with the way of fighting that comes and goes. As a result, after being teleported to the Acid Mist Canyon, the Batzu army followed the same style.

First, the tireless six-legged sickle, clad in chitin-clad shells, detected the march path, and then the army composed entirely of demons passed. If they encounter a small group of Tanari demons, they will rush forward and use their relative advantage in numbers and combat power to quickly push the opponent, and if they encounter a large demon cluster, this army of Batzu will be able to avoid it far away.

After all, gods and demons are also a kind of devils, and they all have the ability to analyze rationally. As long as this plan of action can successfully open the Hell Gate Fort, it will be a real achievement, and there is no need to fight to the death in the realm of the bottomless abyss and those demon natives.

Sitting in the army, listening to the information passed on by one after another sickle beast scout squads, the usurpation demon commander kept adjusting the march route on the precious map in his hand, and on the other hand, he was always keeping an eye on the steel vehicle pulled by hundreds of ironclad demons in the middle of the team.

The steel chariot was built at the expense of the Transgressors to serve as the base of the Hell Gatehold, and dozens of spellcasters inside it took turns day and night to make preparations such as chanting spells. So far, this is the seventh day, and there are less than three days to go before the territorial gate fort on board fully communicates with Avernath to establish a stable spatial passage.

Rubbing the scepter in his hand, the gods and demons were already imagining the wonderful scene of returning to the material plane to regain their glory and endure the worship of tens of millions of people.

"Fortunately, I was willing to spend money like the great merchant of Jugros to purchase the topographic map of this plane, otherwise I would not have been able to pull such a large hell gate fortress through the bottomless abyss. ”
