The mephit bartender chuckled, lowered his voice, and gave Goofy a piece of gossip.
"I heard that many years ago, General Bynes was summoned to the human world by a spellcaster, where he had a fierce fight with the Duke of Belmonk who was also summoned. As a result, he was defeated by the Duke and took away his beheading.
Sword and flaming whip."
"General Byrnes regards this incident as the greatest shame in his life and has been looking for opportunities to take revenge on the Duke of Belmonk."
"How is the relationship between General Bynes and Ms. Corna?" Gao Fei asked casually, "Since they are both warlords of the Tanar'ri Demon Tribe, why not join forces and work together to fight against Duke Belmonk from hell?"
"Hehe... Respectable sir, if you want the two demon warlords to cooperate without any selfish motives, this may be harder than convincing the Cerberus to become vegetarian." The bartender shook his head and sneered, "Although General Bynes hates Duke Belmonk, but
I don’t look down on the newly-emerged Princess of Blades either, maybe she is secretly planning to annex Ms. Kona’s territory!”
"So, a bunch of Tanar'ri trash can never defeat our disciplined Baatezu warriors!"
Pippi raised his glass and drank hard liquor, rarely showing pride in his race.
"What this young man said is reasonable. The Hell Corps is indeed a well-trained elite division. However, having said that, the Baatezu clan cannot completely win the bloody battle." The bartender said frankly, "After all, there is something in the bottomless abyss.
There are countless levels, while Baator Hell only has nine levels. Compared to Baatezu, the Tanari has an overwhelming advantage in the number of reserve troops, which is enough to make up for the disadvantages in the organization and training of the troops."
Pippi snorted angrily, but couldn't refute.
The devils are good at planning tactics, arranging troops, have more elite troops, and are at least one generation ahead of the devils in military technology, but so what?
Even if your generals are wise and courageous, your troops are dedicated, and they are well-equipped, the enemy you face is just a group of lunatics with poor organization, poor equipment, and frequent internal strife. If you can't stand up to the large number of people on the opposite side and can afford it, it doesn't matter if you are defeated ten or a hundred times.
And as long as you lose once, you will have to break your muscles and bones!
It is precisely because both demons and demons have insurmountable flaws that the bloody battle between the two sides continues to this day, with almost no hope of ending.
Gao Fei didn't want to get involved in the bloody battle between demons and demons, so he got back to the topic and continued to ask the bartender for information.
"Besides the three major fortresses near Molten Iron Lake, are there any other powerful forces?"
The bartender thought for a moment and said slowly: "There is another force that is even more terrifying than the three major fortresses, but it has been distracted by something and has not yet participated in the conflict for the territory on the left bank of the Styx."
"This force is a major branch of the Obiris Demons, often called the Abyss Zerg!"
"Abyss Zerg..."
Gao Fei's expression changed slightly, and he immediately thought of the wormhole on Ghost Island.
"Three hundred miles west of Mephit Town, on the Styx River, there is an island covered with blood pools and swamps. It has been the sphere of influence of the Obiris Zerg tribe since ancient times. The locals call it 'Insect Nest Island'." The bartender continued.
"Not long ago, a huge sinkhole suddenly appeared on the Insect Nest Island. It is said to be a natural portal leading to the material plane, which is also the so-called 'big wormhole'."
"At that time, the overlords of the three major fortresses were all very interested in the sudden appearance of the 'big wormhole' and attempted to capture the Insect Nest Island and use the 'big wormhole' as a passage to invade other worlds."
"The Zerg forces on the island at that time were not too strong. Logically speaking, they could not withstand the three major corps' successive attacks."
"However, no one expected that the news of the 'Big Wormhole' would actually alarm a big shot who originally lived in the lower levels of the abyss."
"He is the legendary Lord Abaddon of Obiris, who holds the title of 'Insect King'!"
"Shortly after the conflict, Abaddon led the Obiris army to the Insect Nest Island, repelled the invading forces, and took over the 'Big Wormhole'. Since then, Abaddon and his Zerg regiments have been actively planning an invasion.
Different world."
"The three forces that have returned in defeat are no match for the Insect Emperor's Legion based on their respective strengths. But it would be too unrealistic for them to unite and cooperate sincerely to fight against Abaddon."
"So to this day, the three major fortresses have given up the fight for the 'Big Wormhole' and simply handed over this territory to the 'Insect King' Abaddon. They continue to focus on the three-party game, restraining each other and maintaining a fragile balance.
." The bartender finally concluded.
…
Goofy spent two peaceful days at the Mephit Town Inn.
On the third day, the annual grand trade fair officially opened.
Early in the morning, Gao Fei took Pippi to the center of the town.
In the wide square, tents have been set up and stalls have been divided.
At the entrance of the store, there is a counter dedicated to currency exchange.
Travelers from other planes can exchange local currency, usually precious metals such as gold and silver, into disaster coins according to the local exchange rate.
In Mephit Town, the disaster coins that seal the souls of intelligent creatures are the hardest currency. The goods sold at the trade fair are all priced in disaster coins.
It has been less than ten days since Gao Fei came to the Bottomless Abyss. He has hunted more demons and demons than he can count on both hands. He has also looted a lot of disaster coins. After deducting the food and lodging expenses in the town, he still has a total of 2100 in savings.
.
Although this kind of net worth is not comparable to those suppliers who come to purchase large quantities of military supplies on behalf of the three major fortresses, at least he can be regarded as a top-ranked young rich man among retail investors.
Gao Fei carried a bag of disaster coins and followed the crowd into the store.
In the center of the square, a booth was set up, with a row of naked young women standing on it, wearing handcuffs and shackles, with a wooden sign hanging around their necks, indicating their race, age and starting price in Abyssal language.
At the trade fair, the popular slave auction will never be absent.
Gao Fei stopped to observe and found that most of the female slaves being auctioned were human-demon hybrid tieflings with good figures and looks.
There are also a few alternative products, such as half-orc girls with strong bodies and dragon maids with private parts covered with scales, which are specially designed for buyers with special fetishes.
"Brother! Maid No. 7 looks good, she has the blood of a lust demon, and the price is not expensive. The price is 50 disaster coins! Do you want to buy that hot chick and train her at night?"
Pippi encouraged him with a playful smile.
Gao Fei glanced at him and said calmly: "Rather than spending money to buy female slaves, I would rather make money at the slave auction. For example, if I sell you to a slave merchant, how much do you think you are worth?"
"No, big brother!"
The little devil immediately changed his expression to a pitiful one.
"When I was little, I was loyal to my eldest brother. I worked like a cow and worked hard without complaining. How could you have the heart to sell me?!"
