Søren had gradually stimulated the demons' potential for war.
At present, almost all the demons in the first twenty floors of the Bottomless Abyss had responded to the summons of the Blood War, which was why the replenishment of troops was very fast. Moreover, according to the rules of the Abyss, if a more powerful intermediate and high-tier demon gathered a group of low-tier demons to join the Blood War, they would automatically obtain the identity of a small leader. Unless they were absorbed into another army, they would be grouped into a large group, and the low-tier demons they gathered would be the cannon fodder they could mobilize. This greatly increased the number of the demon army. Almost every high-tier demon would bring along a group of low-tier demons as cannon fodder, and these cannon fodder were constantly being born in every layer of the Abyss.
The Abyss was simply too big.
None of the planes in the multiverse were as large as the Bottomless Abyss. The Hell of Baator had nine floors, Mountain Paradise had seven, and the other planes, such as the Elysium, the Gray Waste, the Asura Field, the Wild Wild, and so on, were even more incomparable. Although the Abyss had different levels, the smallest level was still equivalent to a kingdom, which meant that the Abyss had the land of at least six hundred kingdoms. In the entire multiverse, the only place that was bigger than the Abyss was the Chaos Sea. It was the source of the multiverse, and also the key point of the Void Distortion.
The first gods started to create the world from here.
The fierce demon counterattack broke out the next day after the Dissolved Iron Lake was taken. With the help of the demons, a large number of demons were armed with materials from the Dissolved Iron Lake in just one day.
Demons were not very productive.
Moreover, most demons were more suited for battle than creation. They did not know how to build, forge, or plant. Even if they had the Molten Iron Lake, it was only a preliminary use. However, the demons could make up for this. They quickly made a batch of weapons and then built a huge steel factory.
The next day.
A 300,000-strong demon vanguard had taken down one of the demons' steel fortresses. The fortress was occupied by a 5,000-strong demon army, and it only lasted for an hour and a half before it was taken down. (For the demons, this battle ended too quickly.)
The casualty count was much higher than Søren's battle yesterday.
Five thousand devils and sixty to eighty thousand demons had died. More than three thousand mid-ranked demons had died, and twelve high-ranked demons had died. Most of them had died at the hands of the commander of the devil army, a powerful greater pit fiend.
However …
Without Sauron's command, the results of this battle were already very good.
This victory created a large number of Intermediate Demons, including more than 50 Advanced Demons, many of which were Balors. If a demon were to kill a pit fiend, there was a chance that it would quickly evolve into a balor, which was the basic form of a balor. Balors were a branch of the balors, a fusion between a balor and a balor. The core force of the Bottomless Abyss was the Balor. They were the backbone of the higher demons, and they could evolve into the Balor form above level 25. This victory brought a large number of middle-rank demons, and it also made the other demons realize that the power of the devils had been weakened. This was an excellent opportunity.
In the past battles …
It wasn't as if the devils had never encountered such a large army. The demon army was often in the hundreds of thousands, but the devils' reinforcements were also very fast.
Basically, as soon as the hundreds of thousands of demons arrived on the battlefield, the devils would have tens of thousands of reinforcements behind them.
The battle was maintained at a ratio of ten to one.
The devil army had good mobility. They used airdrops and teleportation circles to maintain a balance, ensuring that the front of the battlefield would not be overwhelmed by the number of demons. But now, the devils seemed to have lost this ability. Their reinforcements from the first layer of the Baator Inferno had disappeared, and only the devils stationed there could resist.
The reason was simple!
The troops stationed in the first layer of the Baator Inferno had been transferred to the material plane. Even if they wanted to return, it would not be possible in a short time.
… … …
In the short span of a day.
The five steel fortresses occupied by the devils had been uprooted. One of them was the work of the Succubus Queen, another was the sudden rise of a lesser demon lord, and the last three were contributed by Sauron.
In this bloody battle.
A powerful demon lord had risen.
No one knew his name, but he should have been a legendary professional when he was alive. He quickly promoted from the Dretch form to a Hezrou, and then became a high-level Balor. Now, he had an army of more than 200,000 demons.
His deeds were spread quickly by Sauron's intentional promotion, causing countless demons to be restless.
In just a few days of fighting, a demon had risen at a speed that other demons would not be able to achieve in thousands of years. He had also obtained the recognition of the 'Demon Prince' Sauron, and the steel fortress he had conquered in the Ten Thousand Abyss Plains had become his fief. He had suddenly become a famous secondary demon lord.
In contrast, many demons who struggled for thousands of years could not compare to him in a few days.
This was the charm of a bloody battle!
The new demon lord called himself 'Gollon'. He was an unusually tall and strong Balor up to six meters tall. He used a two-handed heavy sword and retained many combat skills from his previous life. He served the powerful Lord Sauron and became a follower of the Demon Prince.
He was a smart guy.
After his rapid rise, he realized that his foundation was unstable, so he chose a powerful demon lord as his backer.
He was now Sauron's vanguard.
At present, the number of the demon army had swelled to about three million. Among them, 500,000 vanguard troops led by Gollon had approached the border of the Ten Thousand Abyss Plain. The middle army was 1.5 million demons, and there were hundreds of thousands of demons gathering at the rear.
If the devil's reinforcements did not arrive.
At most, by tomorrow afternoon, the devil's achievements of nearly a thousand years would be destroyed. The demons would capture all their steel fortresses and push the battle line to the Gray Wilderness, Shuraba, and Baator Inferno.
Continuous victories made the demons' heads swell.
There was no need to doubt how crazy these chaotic and evil guys were!
After being suppressed for thousands of years, many high-grade demons and even demon lords became dizzy with continuous victories. They began to clamor to fight all the way to the Baator Inferno and let the devils have a taste of their power.
That's right!
Fight all the way to the Baator Inferno.
Although this idea was crazy, it was the same as Sauron's. If they did not attack the Baator Inferno, it was impossible to force the devil army to retreat.
