Chapter 285 Alertness
"Fech, you're finally here!" Kurdan opened his arms, his enthusiasm seemed to welcome an old friend. "You always appear at the most critical moments. Please tell me, what surprises did you bring this time?"
"This time it's not a mission, and my own strength can't bring surprises." Feiqi did not accept Kurdan's enthusiasm, but took a step back. "Kurdan, what's wrong with you? Are you in your current state suitable for command?"
"Oh, I thought we were already close allies-it seemed to be wrong." Kurdan narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists, and then said, "Since you are not ally, you and I are two generals in the conquest. How much benefit can be obtained in the second world depends on their ability to lead the army!"
"It was like that." Feiqi looked at the teleportation channel of the Curse Bone Gate with calm eyes, but the light was always on the side of Kurdan, who was a little bit wrong. It seemed a little too excited. It was not like it usually looks, maybe it was covering up some other emotion?
"I have never participated in the world conquest, so this time I mainly study and accumulate experience in the future. Kurdan, I cannot take advantage of being your ally. Now the debts owed by greed must be paid in the future." Feiqi said while paying attention to the expression of the Demon Refining in the Deep. "Kurdan, the only personal debt I can bear now is to ask you to explain this process to me."
"You are always a very cautious devil, and I understand more and more how you have attained your current status." Kurdan let out a dry laugh and pointed to the teleportation channel: "How about we set out together?"
"Aren't your troops leaving first?" Feiqi asked.
"It's right!" Kurdan clapped his hands, then pointed forward, and the pioneer troops began to set off. The first one to enter the portal were thirty bone demons. In addition to the tough body of the devil, they also had some resistance similar to the undead, so their cost-effectiveness to the environment was the most cost-effective among the devils. The bone demons vibrated their wings and entered in batches, and following them was a legion of mixed servant demons and desire demons. The army dominated by the horn demons followed and protected the hell caster team. After they stood firm, they were servants composed of a large number of inferior demons, and the last one entering in the entire attack sequence was the hired adventurers.
"The employers are placed at the end to avoid them affecting our devil's first attack. This attack must be fruitful, and then immediately establish a conquest base. This step is very important." Kurdan explained to Fitch: "It is generally expected that the most dangerous thing is before and after the establishment of the base is completed. Local forces will counterattack, and this is the time for the mercenaries to contribute their own strength."
It is very dangerous and often fatal to know without thinking. The devils know this, and the mercenaries also know this in their hearts. This is like a game of passing flowers by beating drums. The mercenaries think they are smarter than others and can become the ultimate winners; the devil relies on the overall winning rate to gain benefits.
Feiqi was shocked. In this game, was he a mercenary who beat the drums and passed the flowers or a devil who enjoyed his life? Will he feel that he will always be sure to win because of his success in hell? Is Kurdan's previous expression overthinking or a premonition of danger?
He calmly looked on the surface, followed Kurdan toward the portal, and was thinking inside. In all possible dangers, there would be no problem in entering the portal - his plan to assemble troops to enter the second world could not be changed for Feich. So where would the danger come from? Feich looked at the Curse Bone Gate getting closer and closer, and the remaining ten meters of distance was probably his last safe distance.
‘What can Kurdan do during this period, and what will it affect what will it do?’ Feiqi quickly thought about this question in his mind, but he could not get an answer. Kurdan walked behind him step by step. That position was too dangerous for him and gave him too many advantages to the Dead Demon. Mercenaries and devils appeared in Feiqi's mind again, and he knew that he had to make a decision.
Holding the cat-knitting stick in his right hand, Feiqi secretly activated the magic matrix, and the mana required for the spell continued to accumulate. While stepping into the teleportation array, the shape-changing spell was launched, and all the phantoms were shot at the opposite end of the Cursed Bone Gate. So, when he stepped out of the Cursed Bone Gate, more than twenty phantoms were waiting for him there.
Therefore, Feiqi was able to change his position by relying on the phantom at the first time. When Kurdan walked out of the gate, Feiqi was already casting a second teleportation spell. A flash of light was seen, and Feiqi completely disappeared in front of the devil.
"Fei?" Kurdan looked at the slowly disappearing vision of Feiqi in surprise, and immediately changed his expression and shouted at the servant demons around him in anger: "Where has he gone? Didn't he tell you to stare at him to death?"
"Mr. Kurdan, just now, more than twenty Fitches came out at once. We recognized that they were all illusions, so we did not use the dimensional anchor. We never thought that he could use illusions to teleport, and he suddenly left our spell range. And Fitch of these illusions would...uh!"
Kurdan let go of his hand and let the servant demon, who had failed this mission and dared to make excuses, slide down from his hand. Twisting his uncle's neck would not make him feel better. Zariel's warning appeared in his mind at this moment.
"That lust demon is very strange. He deceived me from the ability to invisible the devil. Only high-level devils who can use certain magic skills can ensure that they can catch him. Remember, his power is only a middle-level lust demon, but his ability to hide and escape is very strong, otherwise he will not be able to survive now. Prevent him from escaping, and then he will be able to catch him."
Kurdan frowned and looked around. Although he knew that Feiqi had escaped with some kind of teleportation, the strong space spell fluctuations of the Cursed Bone Sect covered Feiqi's teleportation trail, so he couldn't know which direction he was escaping. "Damn it, you idiots! You made me lose the Lord's Crystal! Do you know? That was the Lord's Crystal from the Lord-level Devil!"
After entering the Bronze Fortress, the Deep Demon Kurdan could not suppress his curiosity in his heart. According to Fitch's clues, he found Zarel. Fitch appeared in front of both of them as the "Secret Messenger of Asmotils", so the two devils would only confirm this image more during the conversation. In Fitch's plan, if Zarel left the cage, then her first target must be the current lord Bayer, which is conducive to his scruples; if she did not leave the cage, then her image in Kurdan's heart would only be more mysterious and powerful, so she would make a profit no matter what.
His idea was actually the same as those mercenaries who came to Hell, and he just wished to develop the plot according to his own design. In fact, he underestimated Zariel's hatred, vigilance and Kurdan's greed. When Zariel told Kurdan about the Lord Crystal, the latter immediately had the idea of seizing it.
Zariel captured Kurdan's idea, and then added fuel to the fire. "Fech is just a devil. His status can easily be replaced by a loyal and powerful hell lord. When he enters other worlds from the Curse Bone Gate, the hell power carried by the title of Conquest General will truly activate the lord crystal, and you can take it over. So in the future you will have the chance to use your title to activate a crystal. Kurdan thinks about it, if Fech uses the crystal when he steps out of the Bone Gate, the teleportation exit will be turned into his own territory. His powerful evil spirit is enough to transform the devils on the scene and become their masters. Everything you have will become his."
Kurdan blurted out: "Why did he do that? It is obvious that the benefits he gained from working with me."
"His ambition is far greater than you, and that's why you can't understand it yet." Zariel said lightly: "When he takes action, you may have a chance to understand it, but you will definitely not have a chance to turn the tables. He even lied to me..."
Kurdan, as a Dead Demon who personally attended the theater meeting for more benefits, still has a little inferiority behind his arrogance. It can cooperate with Feich not only because it touched the shadow of Asmotils through Feich, but also because it can find complete confidence in Feich and a confidence that can control the situation by relying on its rank advantage.
Now that Fitch slipped away from its palm, his confidence was hit hard - but this point could not be shown. "Although he ran away, he just spent more energy to chase. A demon of desire, a little bit cunning, does not mean that he can make a big wave. Let's 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 quickly took action while breathing a sigh of relief, fearing that they would hit the gun again. Kurdan still did not give up looking for Fitch. It was scanning the surroundings, thinking in his mind: Where did the Desire Demon run to?
Feiqi hid in the sky, to be precise, on a floating continent. The Curse Bone Gate can be regarded as the strongest teleportation channel in the entire hell, and it has the ability to allow the devil to directly reach the core surface of the second world. As soon as Feiqi walked out of the Curse Bone Gate, the first thing he saw was the giant continent floating above his head.
It was a continent with relatively low orbital positions, shaped like a slender boat, with sporadic green plants and a small blue lake, indicating that it still retains its simple ecosystem. In fact, no matter the environment of this continent, Fitch had no choice but to teleport himself. He acted invisible to the devil and immediately hid on the back of it, completely avoiding Kurdan's sight.
"Why did Kurdan attack me?" When Fitch stepped out of the portal, he saw that the phantom he created was hit by a yellow spell ray, which emitted the familiar smell of a dimensional anchor spell. "The devil must take action, either drive the interests, or show his strength. Kurdan is definitely not for the latter, otherwise he would have taken action at the bronze fortress. It was definitely for some benefit! But it didn't know in advance that I would come to the fortress today, and I did not notice that it gave orders to those servants temporarily."
"In other words, it will only give instructions in advance, and use the dimensional anchor whenever I see me to prevent me from escaping. This is a bit strange..." Feiqi hid in the shadow to analyze this matter. "There are at least fifteen servant demons outside the portal. When facing me a desire demon, the first reaction is to prevent me from escaping? Under normal circumstances, we should concentrate on casting spells and kill me directly. It is only possible that Kurdan clearly ordered them to do this, and the reason for this order..."
"Zarel!" Feiqi finally thought of this possibility. "The biggest possibility is Zarel. She knows "Painted Book" and knows that I have multiple forms, so she knows that direct killing cannot actually kill me. Although she is not sure whether she has told Kurdan about the multiple forms of "Painted Book", she must have suggested a tactic of dimensional anchor killing."
"Zarel is not in a hurry to come out of the cage. He did not hurry to restore his lord status while Bayer was away, but instead he was busy conspiring with Kurdan to deal with me? Does she hate me that much?" Feiqi finally understood what he missed: Not everyone will act according to the goal of seeking the best interests every time, and there will always be variables. "Since Zarel is involved, she must have a reason to convince Kurdan to take action. Kurdan will not take risks for a former lord who is still in the cage, but for a lord crystal..."
Kurdan is just a devil general, responsible for conquering the Second World. He is not a lord devil, and Zarel did not give it lord crystal. According to the convention of hell, a deep ruling demon who can complete the world conquest, proves that he can be competent for the devil lord, and only then will he give it lord crystal. After becoming a lord, the deep ruling demon can create lord crystals by himself to reward and win over other devils. Kurdan follows the convention, and Feiqi takes a shortcut.
As soon as Feiqi took out the lord crystal, the black wings of the desire demon behind him immediately opened, and a powerful evil spirit rushed into the crystal. The process lasted only for a second and then a red flame tornado appeared in the center of the crystal. The fire tornado penetrated the crystal from top to bottom, and the crooked body had nine slightly prominent ring-shaped structures, symbolizing the ninth level of hell. At this time, information from hell was transmitted from the crystal to Feiqi's mind, and how to use the crystal and how to expand the territory.
This information is very important, but he has no time to concentrate on studying for the time being. Feiqi, who was targeted by the devil army, was like a frightened bird. He quickly restrained the evil spirit, put the crystal back into the space bag, and then quickly transferred. He entered the six-wing form and flew on the back of the floating continent at the fastest speed.
At the same time, the devil was still marching in an orderly manner. The Horned Demon began to establish a defensive position under the command of the Bone Demon and the Ice Demon, and a group of tall humanoid devils were all wrapped in cloaks and passed through the portal. They saluted Kurdan together, and then came to the center of the camp, 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 Feich's original contract demons, these mysterious cloaked contract demons were full of golden hell words, even their faces and tongues. They knelt on the ground, hundreds of long scrolls flew out from the neckline, cuffs and hem of the cloak, and the golden contract texts were shining brightly. These scrolls were connected to each other and began to rotate under the command of the contract demon, and landed in the center of the circle. There were more and more scrolls and became closer and closer. The golden words were connected in the light, like a golden pool of water constantly boiling and rolling.
