Kona accepted the surrender of the Minos Legion, provided them with shelter, and demonstrated her stance of resisting the expansion of the Zerg with practical actions.
This statement greatly enhanced Princess Blade's status in the hearts of the Tanar'ri demon clan.
Demonic forces of all sizes on the Abyss Plain, including settlements like Mephit Town, are now threatened by the Zerg and face the fate of being captured and used as hosts or cannon fodder.
In order to avoid such a fate, the demons urgently need a strong leader to lead them against the "Insect King" Abaddon.
Connor followed the current situation and established herself as the savior in the eyes of the demons, gaining prestige that was echoed by hundreds of people.
For a time, the small and medium-sized Tanar'ri tribes on the Abyss Plain fled from their homes invaded by the swarm and rushed to Ferrag Fortress to swear allegiance to the Princess of Blades.
In just one week, Kona has taken in no less than 100,000 tanar'ri demons, and the total strength of the Ferrag Legion has exceeded 200,000!
The situation seems to be very good, but unfortunately it is just an appearance.
The 200,000-strong army was indeed a huge force, but compared to the obiris swarm that was multiplying like crazy, it still seemed very lonely.
What's more, Kona's high-profile acceptance of refugees, including exiled officers like Minos who defected from the Insect King's camp, has deeply angered Abaddon and Bynes.
In particular, the Fire Demon General Baines has always been arrogant and considers himself the leader of the entire Tanar'ri tribe in the Abyss Plains.
Now he is forced to surrender to the Obiris Zerg, his reputation is ruined, and his status in the eyes of his compatriots has plummeted.
His name has become synonymous with cowards and traitors.
The position that originally belonged to him has been replaced by Kou Na.
Another aspect of being arrogant is often being narrow-minded, and Bynes has such a character.
Compared to Abaddon, the "Insect King" who took away his inheritance and forced him to surrender, leading to his ruin, Bynes hated the Princess of Blades who was in the limelight more.
So when Abaddon planned to continue to expand his territory and plunder slaves, Bynes immediately gave his new master advice and prioritized attacking Ferrag Fortress before attacking Tyros Fortress.
Even the Insect King was a little surprised by his suggestion.
Ferrag is the last stronghold of the Tanar'ri demons. The number of troops currently assembled has exceeded 200,000, three times that of Tyros Fortress. It is obviously a tougher nut to crack.
To take a step back, Ferrag is the territory of the devil after all, but Tyros is the colony of the devil.
Obiris and Tanar'ri belong to different subcategories under the general category of demons. After all, they are not related to each other.
The Baatezu demons are invaders from the outside world and should theoretically be the common mortal enemy of all demon groups.
Under such circumstances, Baines let go of the Tyros Fortress occupied by the devils and suggested attacking Ferrag first. What kind of mentality was it based on?
Abaddon was not a fool. Of course, he could see that Bynes was jealous of Connor and hated General Minos who abandoned him to join Connor. He proposed to attack Ferrag because he wanted to take revenge.
After some weighing, Abaddon accepted Bynes's proposal and appointed Bynes as commander to lead the attack on Ferrag Fortress.
The Insect King valued Bynes, his legendary deputy, very much, but he was also wary of him, fearing that he would imitate General Minos and defect immediately after leading his troops out of the city.
Out of considerations of checks and balances, Abaddon sent all of Bynes' direct subordinates to the Insect Nest Island and ordered them to pass through the large wormhole in the abyss to serve as the vanguard of the invasion of Blue Star.
As for the troops marching into Ferrag, they were entirely composed of the Obiris Zerg, with the exception of Bynes, the commander, who was born in the Tanar'ri Demon Clan.
The Zerg nominally obeyed Bynes' command, but were actually monitored by Abaddon.
If the instructions issued by Bynes conflict with the wishes of the Zerg Emperor, who will the Zerg listen to?
This question can be answered by thinking about it with your heels.
How could Bynes not know that he was just a polished commander in name only.
But now, he has no better way out.
It is indeed humiliating to be under someone else's roof, but when I think that I still have the opportunity to use the power of the Zerg to defeat Ferrag, kill the traitor Minos with my own hands, drag the arrogant Princess Blade off the altar, ravage her to his heart's content, and completely trample on her dignity,
Let out a strong breath and your mind will be balanced.
…
The eternal dusk setting sun in the Abyss Plain smeared the walls of Ferrag Fortress with a plasma-like sheen, deepening the chilling atmosphere on the battlefield.
The long sound of the horn was soon overshadowed by the high-frequency hum of the flapping wings of the insects.
The insect swarm was like a large dark cloud, blocking the sunlight over the fortress and casting a layer of gloom in the hearts of the defenders.
Kona, who had returned to the form of the six-armed snake demon, was standing on the top of the city, looking heroic in military uniform, and was discussing the battle plan with Meryl, Minos and other generals.
Terror and beauty, two qualities that should be completely opposite, are cleverly blended into a unique style in her.
Gao Fei stood not far from Connor, standing with his hands behind his hands, silently looking at the insects in the distance, his expression calm.
"Brother! Are the gluttonous insects coming?" Pippi asked nervously.
This little devil who claims to be a "know-it-all in the lower planes" is actually not as omniscient as he boasts. For example, he has never seen a perverted existence like a gluttonous insect with his own eyes.
"That's not a swarm of gluttonous insects, just an ordinary egg-planting demon." Gao Fei replied calmly.
Pippi looked up at the swarm of insects in the sky, looking a little embarrassed.
"Ahem...if you look closely, it's really an egg-planting demon!"
"But having said that, there are too many egg-planting demons, at least one or two million, right? The Insect King is really willing to spend money!"
The little devil quickly shut his mouth.
No time for small talk!
Groups of egg-planting demons that cover the sky and the sun are flying towards the city!
On top of the city, the defenders were already in full formation.
Kona took the lead, raising her hand to summon a tornado to strangle the insect swarm!
At the same time, the succubi and tiefling warlocks gathered around Princess Blade, led by the head maid Meryl, jointly cast the 5-ring magic "Control the Wind".
Compared with the "Tornado Technique", the wind created by "Control the Wind Direction" is weaker and cannot directly kill the egg-planting demon, but it is more powerful due to the greater number of people.
Hundreds of strong winds stacked up, turning the sky above the fortress into a high-pressure area with turbulent airflow.
No matter which direction the insect swarm attacks from, the result is that it will be blown into a mess by the wind.
Only a handful of egg-planting demons managed to land on the top of the city despite the raging wind. However, this became their greatest misfortune.
The lone egg-planting demon was surrounded by the city's defenders, and was brutally cut into pieces in the blink of an eye.
The first wave of offensive by the Obiris Zerg was only tentative and was quickly repulsed.
Not long after, a larger swarm of insects came back!
