4. Where else can you find such high-quality mercenaries?
After the handover was completed, Siefel separated Bell from all the high-ranking devils in the castle.
Siphael assigns a new job to Bell, who has lost his lordship, as a deputy commander to the Iron Fortress, where he oversees the forges that supply weapons and armor for the bloody battle. Other high-ranking devils also returned to their posts.
In the basalt castle of Nuoda, only some middle- and low-level devils with weak strength remained.
It's not that Siefel doesn't need security,
It's that these subordinates stay by their side, and they will only be more dangerous!
Siefel knew that jealousy and intrigue were simply part of the devil's life. Using the history of the Blue Star people as an analogy, the devils under his command are all the pillars of Wenbi Wang Mang, Wu Guo Lu Bu, and Zhao Kuangyin!
When Siefel first arrived, most of his subordinates didn't know what he was all about. If you wait for these brave and loyal subordinates, you will find that the lord can't even defeat the weakest of the "Dark Eight Demon Generals" under his command······
If Sifer doesn't commit suicide in the castle with a hundred knives in the back, it's hard to end up!
···
After sending off his subordinates, Sifer found a private room, took out a golden feather, reported his situation back to the Angel Legion, and by the way, packed a lot of confidential information from the Book of Lords and sent it to the goddess's divine domain.
After that, Sifer returned to the empty hall of the lord.
Determined the goal of "messing up his own territory", Sifer opened the Book of Lords again to check the [Soul Energy] in his current territory.
The soul is the hard currency of hell. And [Soul Energy] is the most important resource among the devils.
The devil deceives the souls of mortals from countless material worlds, and then cruelly tortures the souls who have fallen into hell to extract energy from them.
These energies squeezed from the soul are similar to the "experience points" in the game, allowing the devil to be promoted and strengthened into a more powerful form. It can also be used to craft certain magical items and buildings, or to be used for certain grand ceremonies.
On the yellowed pages, lines of ink appeared:
[Territory Range: The First Layer of the Nine Prisons "War Wilds"]
[Soul energy: 500,000]
Siefel thought that 500,000 units of soul energy would need to be squeezed out of the souls of 500,000 civilians. As liquidity, it's actually not a small amount.
As he thought, Siefel glanced at the contents of the page.
[Other Nine Hell Levels Disposable Soul Energy (This data is for reference only)]
[The second layer of "Burning City": 12 million]
[The third layer of "rancid mud": 15 million]
【······ 】
uh······
Siefel coughed lightly twice.
Set a small goal first, and waste all the 500,000 units of soul energy!
Then, for 2 to 3 months, do as much damage as possible within the territory.
After a maximum of 3 months, the bucket runs away!
···
Sifer hovered the large basalt hall with a rusty bronze book in his hand.
Billowing smoke and drifting sparks filled the interior of the Devil's Grand Duke's castle.
"How can you squander all these 500,000 units of soul energy?" Sifer pondered and studied.
"The easiest way to consume soul energy is nothing more than to find a large group of demons at random and let them be promoted!"
The moment the idea came to mind, Siefel dismissed it.
This practice, in accounting, is "credit: cash in hand / debit: fixed assets".
These soul energies only exist in the upgraded devil's body, which has increased the combat power of the Nine Hell Devils, which is not a waste at all!
"Preferably, you can find a large bunch of empty waste! During this time, I can consider forming my own new court and sifting out some bastards from the devil in my territory. Waste soul energy on them! ”
Siefel thought to himself, feeling that the idea was barely feasible, but the shortcomings were still obvious.
First, it is difficult to find bastards from the devil; Second, even if it is a promotion for the waste devil, it still increases the average combat power of the Nine Hell Devils to a certain extent.
After thinking about it, Siefel had another plan:
"By the way, I can also hire a few mortals from other material worlds! Waste soul energy on mortals. ”
Many of the Devil's Grand Dukes in the past would hire mortals to serve them, and his predecessor, Bell, had raised a mercenary group composed of 12 villains from the material world.
Compared to the promotion of the devil, arming a group of humans who are not loyal to the Nine Prisons is undoubtedly much less economical!
As soon as the idea came to his head, Siefel cast the magic of connecting to the Internet.
He opened the word document in his head and made a simple to-do list:
[Task 1.Reorganize the Hell Court on the first floor, recruit waste, and depose talents.] 】
[Mission 2.Recruit a group of mercenaries.] 】
Of course, this group of mortal mercenaries must be strictly screened, not everyone can be it!
Sifer briefly listed what qualities he needed for mortal mercenaries:
[1. The work should not be too active, it is necessary to fish for three days and dry the net for two days. To have an anti-work addiction mechanism, it is best to work 2 hours a day to be said to be addicted to work. 】
[2. The requirements should be high. It's best to mumble about benefits every day, so that you can cheat the Book of Lords and find reasons for more salary increases and benefits. 】
[3. The most important thing is that loyalty should be low, lawlessness, disobedience, and lawlessness! The devil is a creature that is born to be orderly, so the more chaotic this group of mercenaries, the better! 】
[As a mortal mercenary of hell, it is inevitable to do something useful to the Nine Hells. I can't explicitly instruct them to break the laws of hell, I can only do it by their own accord. 】
Writing this, Siefel couldn't help but sigh, where can you find such a high-quality mercenary?
It is impossible to find a mercenary who meets the above requirements in a short period of time!
Siefel pondered, feeling that he was still too demanding.
"Forget it, let's upgrade myself with soul energy first!"
Strengthening oneself with soul energy is undoubtedly a perfect way to drain soul energy!
However, Siefel still had some concerns in his heart.
He suspected that there must be some restrictions on the lord's mobilization of soul energy to upgrade himself.
After all, he had never seen a Devil Grand Duke who could absorb all the soul energy of the entire territory to upgrade himself.
Sifer clenched his fists and mobilized the soul energy in his territory.
