Although Bell was reluctant to admit it, Xifer's unusual behavior still disrupted his plan.
"It's so weird. There is no reason for Vika and Lezes to be demoted. They are obviously still responsible for causing war in the Red Bay world, providing an opportunity for the next military intervention of the Devil Legion.
"They are now responsible for such an important task. If they are dismissed at this time, Xifeier must have discovered that they are the pawns I laid.
"Both of them have only shown their loyalty to me in private. On the surface, they should be very supportive of the new lord.
"How on earth did Xifer find out!"
The more Bell thought about it, the weirder he got, confused by the iron-blooded tactics of the new Grand Duke.
He originally heard that Syphiel was a new-generation devil who was about 100 years old. Before becoming the Grand Duke of the Wilderness of War, Syphiel was just a demon count on the edge of the ninth level of hell.
Therefore, when Xifer first came to power, both Bell himself and other high-level devils believed that the new lord would not have any special talents.
But when he actually played against Xifer, the new Devil Archduke, Bell could feel that,
Xiphiel sat up straight:
"Fortunately, everything is going according to plan. If "Dawn" is postponed from the closed beta, it will collide with the next-generation virtual reality game "Doomsday". I remember "Doomsday" is also a fantasy-themed game."
He sat on the bench, placed his hands on the simple and mottled bronze table, and inspected Lulu's work.
The winding, bubbling lava river reflects the terrifying shadow of Bell when he spreads his wings.
"In two days, I will go to see Xifer in person."
And Bell knows that in recent times, the "cash flow" of the first level of the Nine Hells, that is, the production of flowing soul energy that can be directly controlled by the lord, is indeed not optimistic. Recently, many torture chambers for extracting soul energy have been vacant.
.
Thinking of this, Bell felt that the broken beads seemed to be connected in series, and everything became logical. There was an inherent logic behind all of Xifer's unreasonable actions.
It was enough motivation to make Xifer willing to sacrifice the long-term interests of the territory to demote so many devils.
"The wave of demons is coming in a year, how will you deal with it..."
···········
3 hours before the start of the closed beta.
Xifer adjusted the task list in the document in his mind.
"In order to complete this plan, he must spend an extremely large amount of soul energy. There is not much soul energy at his disposal in the territory.
"Send my message to the Wandering Mall and tell the owner of the mall that maybe after a while, a group of uninvited guests will come to the first level of hell..."
In the empty, dark, and lonely hall, the candlelight on the walls flickered.
A blush flashed across Lulu's face because of the lord's appreciation.
"What does Xifer need this soul energy for? It must be something tempting enough that he would rather dismiss his outstanding subordinates than do it."
"Good job, Lulu, I'll just wait for the players to arrive in a few hours." Xifeier smiled broadly.
On the other side of the chessboard, Syphiel's actions are unpredictable!
A long time ago, Bell was just a mortal soul transformed into a trembling, lowly demon with no mind at all. Relying on ambition, talent, and perhaps a lot of luck, he rose to where he is today.
.
Bell feels that this possibility cannot be ruled out.
After figuring out Xifer's plan, Bell decided to take action.
[Task 1: Recruit Blue Star players, find suitable tasks to apply for budget, and issue rewards]
Bell thought to himself.
Inside the lord's castle.
"Syphiel, I seem to know why the Lord of the Nine Hells promoted you to the rank of Grand Duke." Bell seemed to understand something, and sneered, and a few wisps of smoke with the smell of sulfur floated out of his mouth.
Not long ago, Xifer mobilized a large amount of soul energy to cast a large-scale magic to connect with other planes!
A few seconds later, he wanted to recall a piece of information from before.
He faced the shadow in the corner of the huge fortress and said in a commanding tone:
Could it be that...
"If Xifer wants to recruit helpers from other worlds, I can find someone to test it out."
"Xifer is planning an extremely important grand plan that may be related to his entire lord's career. This plan requires connecting to an alien plane, perhaps recruiting mercenaries from a certain material world.
"However, if you think about it on the bright side, maybe Xifeier didn't really discover the spy I arranged, but was just being overly cautious."
[Task 2: Find out the secrets related to Lulu and Blue Star. Which devil or devils know the existence of Blue Star and signed a contract with Lulu? 】
There is a loss of soul energy released during the devil's downgrade, which is not as much as the amount consumed during promotion, so experienced lords will avoid doing this frequently. Using corporate financial management strategies as an example, this approach is similar to "selling the company's fixed assets to
"In exchange for working capital" is indeed a feasible strategy to avoid cash flow rupture.
After completing the layout and giving instructions,
Bell flew down from the huge throne and landed beside the magma river.
However, just out of caution, a devil with important position and talent was dismissed and demoted...
[Completed mission: Forming a new palace]
This motivation is not strong enough!
What other motive could there be?
"In order to fill the expenditure gap of soul energy, Xifer took the risk and demoted all the devils who might be secretly loyal to me, no matter how important the mission they were carrying!"
"Syphiel needs a lot of soul energy!"
Bell suddenly realized something, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.
Having countless experiences of surpassing his superiors and crushing powerful demons who once looked down on him, Bell will not despise any competitor who seems easy to bully.
"But, Lord..." Lulu seemed to have discovered something particularly terrible, hesitating and hesitating.
