Chapter 356: The Devil's Stomach (1) (Ask for Subscription!Ask for Recommendation Ticket!Ask for Monthly Pass!)
The day after arriving at the bottomless abyss, Quest, the newly appointed logistics chief, set goals for himself.
His goal was simple, and that was to feed his men from the Otherworld.
This is not the fault of Our Lady's heart, but because after eating and cloning people, people gradually get used to seeing order as a habit.
Only where the power of order is strong, the Batow's expeditionary force, which fights with the dragon legion, can exert its strongest strength.
At that time, it was naturally not his turn to be a small leader to go into battle again and be forced to rush to the forefront.
With this in mind, the young blue dragon worked very hard, even more diligently than the last time he came to the Acid Mist Canyon.
It only took him half a day to visit all the back offices, but the results were not encouraging.
Originally, the young Blue Dragon thought that the worst situation in the city was nothing more than the heterotopic mercenary camp where he had been.
However, after on-the-spot investigation, he regretted to find that the attitude of the Nine Prisons of Bato towards mortals in the different planes was not the worst, but only worse.
The previous camp in the remote corner of Aphernas regularly distributed supplies and weapons and equipment, but here, Bato's logistics department now only regularly drops out some rations to ensure that mortals do not starve to death.
For a large number of people, it is definitely a luxury to eat enough every day, and only the strongest group of people can snatch food from others and eat a full meal and a half.
Is it because Bartow's logistics department is not able to mobilize supplies? The answer is definitely no.
From all over the multiverse, portals to deliver legions of minions to the Acid Mist Canyon open every day, and as long as the devils want to, they can easily deliver some food.
It's just that they don't want to do it, and after a moment of thought, Quest understands the devil's intentions.
Are they afraid that those alien mortals will have enough to eat and have the ability to overthrow the rule of the expeditionary legion?
Of course, it's not because of this, every mortal who is thrown into the Acid Mist Canyon is actually burdened with a devilish contract that can never be broken under normal circumstances, as long as the commander of the expeditionary force makes a move, these people will immediately lose their lives.
The real reason for the reluctance of Bartow's logistics department to deliver enough food is that they already see these mortals as an "opportunity cost", or a consumable, and they are unwilling to invest in them.
Moreover, in terms of the experience of the bloody front, although Bato's side is in an absolute advantage, it is not completely impossible for the offensive and defensive momentum to turn around in the blink of an eye, and even the entire army will be destroyed.
When the time comes, the more you invest in consumables, the more you lose.
As for the shortfall in personnel due to starvation or unnatural deaths in the service of dragons, they have portals open anyway and can be replenished from the rest of the multiverse at any time.
"Sure enough, it's the devil's thinking," Thinking of this, Quisi couldn't help but sigh: "Treat human life like a mustard, and you have to pick and choose and weigh out two taels of floating soil." ”
Turning into a human form, the young blue dragon walked alone on the streets of this abyssal city, and there was no need to deliberately maintain it, similar to the effect of the power dragon's natural hazy technique, his body was semi-hidden, and it would not attract the attention of others at all.
With the authority to be a commander, and the size of Quest is also a general of Bato's Nine Prisons, the elite Bone Demon Guard that was once equipped by the Bato garrison department because of the "airdrop mission" is still under his command.
Early this morning, Quest asked them to accompany Blue out, but he remembered that the ogre gourmand had a lot of industries in the original town, and at that time he just took out the profits on the books and returned to the world of ashes, and it was just time to take those industries back one by one.
Among those industries, there is a wartime medical camp and a liquor store called "True Fragrance", both of which can be used in Quest's later reorganization plan, so it is better to get into the hands of your own people as soon as possible.
Calculating the time, Blue and the elite Bone Demon Guard should have done things a long time ago and sent themselves a spell message. But after half a day, the young blue dragon still didn't receive any message, which made him a little worried.
"Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any mistakes?" Quest thought to himself, "Even if the mortals in this city don't know Blue anymore, won't they recognize that elite group of bone demons? That's the kind of guard treatment that only mid-to-high-level commander-level devils can have." ”
Although the Abyssal City founded by the Servant Legion was nominally under the management of the Bato Expeditionary Legion, the Batzu Devils only sent soldiers to guard near the defenses or supervise the servants to serve the Dragon's Lair on time.
For the administration of this place, the Batzu clan only sent soldiers, and they would simply and rudely execute all unruly servants according to the script.
And because these servants can be found by the devil, it is conceivable that they are not good people, and their souls have been predetermined by the contract, so they cannot be extracted to make soul prisms after death.
In other words, in the eyes of the Batezug clan, these people no longer have any oil and water at all. None of the demons on the front lines of the bloody battle are willing to waste their precious time - they are either participating in the battle or in the camp preparing for the next battle, and no devil will come to this abyssal city on their own initiative except for the assigned soldiers.
As for the Dragon Legion, they all live in the huge dragon nest that they have built to change the landscape of the Acid Mist Canyon, and they rarely leave their lair to participate in battles.
Unlike the juvenile blue dragons, the normal five-colored dragons are rarely willing to transform into Chéng Rén forms, and most of them look down on those weak mortal races.
The five-colored dragons who dared to come to the Sour Mist Canyon to participate in the battle were mostly war maniacs of their own clan, and they were extremely confident in their own strength, and they didn't bother to use the form of mortals, let alone be in company.
Then things are very strange, there are no dragons and no high-level devils involved, Queth, the commander in charge of logistics, actually holds the supreme authority of this abyssal city - even if those people have not seen his strength and are not really afraid of the young blue dragon, but they dare not stab in the face of a team of elite bone demons?
With doubts in mind, Quest turned and walked towards the location of the "True Fragrance Tavern" in his memory. After all, the tavern seems to be closer than the medical camp, and it can be reached within a few steps of it. If Blue isn't there, it's not too late to go somewhere else.
