Chapter 28: Visit Camp Bartow
Looking at the barb demon guard who was tortured by his brother's voodoo acid and could only lie on the ground twitching and rolling, the excited Blue pulled out his "whaling fork", and he wanted to cut some of this acid-treated "new ingredient" to try to make a barbecue.
When handling prey, ogre gourmets are accustomed to draining the blood from the ingredients first. Just as the "whaling fork" was about to slit the barb's throat and bleed, a chain with a bayonet suddenly flew from inside the camp and smashed through Blue's blade with a "ding" sound.
"What kind of weapon is this, it looks like a meteor hammer, but the chain is too long, and if it's a weapon for a giant creature, it's too small and not thick enough. โ
The sudden appearance of the weapon catches the attention of the ogre blacksmith who wants to be a master weaponsmith, and when it comes to weapon forging, the massive ogre reveals an agile mind that does not match his stupid appearance.
The ogre blacksmith Naru wanted to pick up the hammer with the chain and take a closer look, but just as his fingers were about to touch the chains scattered on the ground, the strange "meteor hammer" jumped up on its own to avoid Naru's grasp, and then spikes grew on the chain, and finally waited for the opportunity to give the ogre's face door a ferocious hammer blow.
Fortunately, Quis had already reacted, and re-nailed the chain to the ground with a sword.
"Come out, Chain Demon. I know you're the acting commander of this camp. โ
"Humph!"
A man who looked like a human, but was wrapped in chains instead of clothing, came out from behind a neighboring tent and roared at the group in purgatory, with a strange accent like the friction of chains: "You guys from the physical plane have the audacity to kill the camp guards at the door of the barracksโ"
With the Chain Demon roaring, a small group of Barb Demon camp guards surrounded the group from all sides. The Chain Demon tried to pull back the chain that was pinned to the ground by Queth, but the chain was tightly pulled by the long sword, and just as he was about to break it, an electric snake with a terrifying blue light crawled along the chain, forcing the Chain Demon to give up the chain, quickly pulling it out of its body and throwing it to the ground.
"You scum, you don't want to rebel too!I am the newly appointed overseer of the camp, and this camp, including the acting commander of the Chain Demons, has been under my supervision before the twelve hourglasses according to the military order," Quest took out his letter of appointment and showed it to the devil guards who surrounded him, along with the order he had previously presented, "These two guards have committed crimes against each other with the intention of rebellion, and according to the wartime laws of hell, I have the right to take their lives without trial. โ
As if to match his words, the barb demon who was lying on the ground struggling and convulsing because of the strong acid infusion swallowed his last breath at this time.
After verifying the letter of appointment and the appointment, the acting commander of the Chain Demon named Kuruzu seemed to change his face, and no longer paid attention to the two dead barb demon guards lying on the ground, as if it was another creature who had just let out a loud roar about it.
In order to curry favor with the new overseers, he even used the lingua franca of the physical plane to flatter him - his intelligence or strength was obviously not able to see through Quest's true form.
"Mr. Quest, I am very happy to have you here, the capital of the prison army is the embodiment of the good order of the Nine Prisons, and this is definitely a good idea that can only be thought up by the big names in the upper ranks. Careful flattery, the Chain Demon named Kuruzu secretly picked up the chains he had just pulled out of his body - the chains of the Chain Demon were also part of their bodies, not only as weapons as arm-commands, but also as regenerative as the Devil's body, and the broken locks could be used back on.
Following the Chain Demon into the camp, Quis knew why he was so flattering to himself. For the devil, class status is synonymous with power. If you want to get rid of the word "agent" on your head and become the real commander of this camp in the legal sense, it is precisely the case that Ques, the overseer, needs to give a fairly positive evaluation in the report submitted after the war.
As an alien mercenary camp, Quest only found more than a hundred barbed demons here as a standing guard force to maintain order in the camp. An army of this size, this is not a weak force in the material plane, and according to Quest's estimation, each Barb Demon has the power to defeat three or four of those great warriors of the Desert Elf tribe that he saw not long ago.
But if the battlefield is replaced by a bloody battlefield, such an army will not even have the slightest deterrent power. I'm afraid that there is no need for high-level demons, a few powerful mid-level demons can slaughter these barbed demons.
Seeing that Quis's brows were slightly frowned, and his face showed a slight hint of concern, the Chain Demon hurriedly said: "Lord Overseer, please rest assured, this place itself is a relatively remote war zone, and it will be relatively safe after the start of the blood station. In addition, between now and before the start of the war, mercenaries from other planes will be stationed in this camp according to the order, and the barracks here will be filled with all kinds of soldiers. Under my command, and of course your careful assessment and wise counsel, those who work for Barto's will will become qualified cannon fodder in bloody battles. โ
When the Chain Demon brought up the topic of Bato and the bloody battle, even the eyes that were only exposed by the chains showed a look of pride.
Indeed, in terms of the potential of the War Front, Bato Hell only has nine layers, and no one in the bottomless abyss has been able to figure out how many layers there are.
But it is with such a huge gap in war potential, in this war that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, it is still the devils who have a certain advantage.
The most obvious example is that Aphnath, as the bridgehead in the bloody battle of Bato, has not been occupied by the demons once, and the pillars of skulls forged by the demon's head still stand, and the bottomless abyss has more than once been successfully occupied by the demons in some planes, pulling these planes from chaos into the camp of order. If it weren't for the terrifying Abyssal Will, some powerful demon princes and demon lords would have personally ended, I'm afraid the demons would have suffered even more setbacks in the blood station.
In terms of the strength of the army, the demon is powerful but chaotic, and if it is not for the control of spells, even the demon lord cannot completely control the army under his command, while Bato's army has a strict division of labor and strict discipline.
Even if they are equally evil, they are equally keen on intrigue and intrigues, but under the rules of order, the entire Bato Nine Prisons is like a tightly knit war machine, all running for the ultimate goal of victory in a bloody war.
In terms of war mobilization capabilities, although the bottomless abyss has countless layers that can mobilize a desperate number of Tanari demons, the cunning and scheming upper demons have attracted supporters for Bartow from all corners of the multiverse through inducement, deception, and trading. In each bloody battle, an equally staggering number of Xenomorphic mercenaries join the Devil's side and fight for the Bato Nine.
"Trust my judgment on this point, as to which side of the bloody battle is better, even the most lying, the Devil of Batzu, will be honest in his answer. The chain demon's arm around the chain slapped against his chest, and the chains collided with each other with a "clanging" sound.
Quest couldn't argue with Chaindemon's claims based on racial pride, and he was telling part of the truth. After inspecting the entire camp, it was found that although it was rudimentary, some of the infrastructure and supplies, including the workshop for forging weapons, food and water for the upcoming mercenaries from other planes, were already in place - although there were inevitably signs of corruption, it was still well prepared.
