The Demon Lords were always fighting among themselves.
But there was one thing that could unite them temporarily, and that was the Abyss Blood War!
There was a very strange phenomenon during the time of the Abyss' Three Giants. That was, the Dark King and Demogorgon were fighting to the death in the bottom of the Abyss, while the Blood War Legion of both sides were fighting with the Devil Legion near the Dissolved Iron Lake. At that time, the Dissolved Iron Lake had not been lost. As one of the most important strongholds of the demons, it was an important force that could fight against the Devils. The productivity of the Abyss was extremely low. To some extent, it was not even qualified to carry the shoes of the Devils. When there was the Dissolved Iron Lake, it could barely compete with the Devils. But after losing the Dissolved Iron Lake, the Abyss Demons' metal production could not be self-sufficient.
The main demand of the Abyss was now met by the demons' smuggling.
However, after Sauron divided the Abyss, this situation began to ease. Especially after the connection between Modor City and the Abyss was opened, Modor City could absorb and digest the minerals occupied by Sauron, and then provide weapons and armor to the Devil Legion in turn.
At this time.
The mighty Demon Army had already approached the Molten Iron Lake.
The first few strongholds of the Devils were easily flattened by the Devil Legion. Sauron's Devil Legion did not even have a chance to fight.
But!
The Dissolved Iron Lake was not an ordinary stronghold. There was a Devil Legion stationed here, and there was a huge steel fortress.
The core of the Dissolved Iron Lake was Ferrague.
A huge steel fortress was located near the Dissolved Iron Lake. It was originally built by the Devils, and then it was rebuilt by the Devils. The Dissolved Iron Lake was like a natural white hot furnace filled with molten iron. It had always been an important stronghold for the Devils and Devils to fight for. After the death of the first Lord, Ferrague entertained countless Devil Legions who were interested in collecting iron to build other steel fortresses. Because the Devils valued iron very much, the Devils' strike force often attacked the Dissolved Iron Lake. This place was once used as the command center of the Devil Legion that protected the Dissolved Iron Lake.
But at the end of the Abyss Three Giants, the Devil Legion occupied this place and seized control of the Dissolved Iron Lake.
From then on, the Devils who lost their strategic point became more and more unfavorable.
Sauron's goal was to take the Dissolved Iron Lake. As long as he took this natural furnace, no enemy in the first layer of the Abyss could stop him, and the other Devil Legions could quickly gain armed forces.
At this moment.
An army of over a million demons was already closing in.
As the supreme commander of the demon army, Sauron commanded all the troops, and the other demon lords sent their legions as cannon fodder. They would be satisfied if one-fifth of them could return alive. Therefore, these demon lords did not care about winning or losing, nor did they mind handing over command to Sauron. Ever since the bloody war in the Chaos Abyss broke out, the demons would have to pay a huge price in almost every battle. Half of the casualties would be considered small, and the demons that survived would be able to grow rapidly.
Although the number of demons was huge, the main force was still small.
However, this bloody battle was obviously different from the past. The number of high-level demons had greatly increased, and they were mainly Sauron's followers.
They also believed that Sauron needed a bloody counterattack to complete the transformation from 'Demon Overlord' to 'Demon Prince.' Only by defeating the devils in a bloody battle could Sauron's reputation as being more powerful than other demon lords.
The other Demon Lords were no match for the Devil Legion.
However, their master not only defeated the devils, but also recovered the first layer of the Abyss, the 'Ten Thousand Abyss Plain.' Who had the right to oppose him?
The steel fortress in front of them was huge.
Although many of the devils' bloody battle legions had been dispatched to the material plane, there were still three legions stationed here, with about 50,000 devil troops.
More than a million against 50,000 troops.
It seemed to be a huge advantage, but when the real battle began, reality gave the demons a cruel slap in the face.
The first wave of nearly a hundred thousand demon cannon fodder pushed forward, but under the demons' highly disciplined and concentrated firepower, they did not even touch the steel fortress. The demons laughed as they harvested tens of thousands of demon heads, and then watched as the piles of low-level demons collapsed.
The devils were of a higher level, and the mobilization of troops was strictly prohibited.
They were not at the same level as the demons. Many of the demons who followed were a little disappointed when they saw the situation.
"Berserker Demon formation, get ready to move out."
Sauron looked down on all of this from above. He knew that there was no point in sending the low-level demons to their deaths now. This was a battle of siege, not a field battle. The low-level demons were of little use.
Following Sauron's orders, a few berserker demons equipped with heavy weapons and armour appeared.
These demons made the devil legion feel uneasy, because they had never seen such a well-armed demon army. At the same time, a formation of six-armed marilith appeared at the back. Not only were they well-armed, they were also fully armoured. In the past, only the core guards of the Demon Overlords could have such an army, but now they saw an exaggerated number.
The situation of the battle began to change.
The clamoring bone devils were crushed, and the pit fiends flying in the sky were shot down by the balors. Under the cover of the berserker demons, the six-armed marilith army successfully approached the steel fortress, and then attacked a stronghold.
"The Balrog army, move out."
Sauron's face immediately lit up, and he said decisively, "It's time for the Yugoloths to enter the battlefield."
Some demon mercenaries from other planes joined the battle. Most of them were demons from the Scorching Inferno. Sauron had the aura of the Lord of Death behind him. This time, the demons were on the demon's side.
The battle entered a state of slaughter.
Even after breaking through a corner, the devils still stubbornly resisted the attacks, and even tried to counterattack a few times.
In just three rounds of fighting, tens of thousands of mid-ranked demons had died. More than ten six-armed marilith had died, and two balors had died. The casualties were even greater than when they attacked the other demon lords. However, the huge casualties also brought about great results. The devil legion had lost about twenty percent of their forces.
Twenty percent didn't seem like much, but the devil legion only had about fifty thousand in total.
There were still millions of demons left, and this filled many of them with confidence. The gigantic bull devils took the initiative to join the battle, and an army of fifty beholders moved out as well.
This was the reinforcements of the great matriarch of the beholders. Due to the small number of beholders, the entire army was only about three hundred.
Beholders were perhaps the most deadly of all the powerful races, and they were also the most deformed in appearance.
They had terrifying lethality, and even the devils found it difficult to deal with them.
A group of beholders could form a dense barrage of light attacks. When they stood on the side with the advantage, they were almost like mobile cannons. The Molten Iron Lake Fortress was gradually collapsing. Demons were creatures that liked to beat up those who were down. After being suppressed by the devils for so long, seeing that they had gained the upper hand, many other demon armies didn't even listen to Sauron's orders, and took the initiative to join the battle and reap the lives of the devils.
In the Abyss Blood War, there were always demons seeking to advance who took the initiative to join.
