Having made the decision, Su Ziyu acted decisively.

He directly halted the entire construction of the main camp, summoning all of his vassal races.

The enchanting demon adjutant led a demon army to the east for harvesting, where there were originally some wild demons Su Ziyu had been rearing, along with a small number of abyssal worm clusters. Initially, he planned to gradually raise them like grazing. Kleia took the flame demons to eliminate the wind elementals in the north; as long as the gains outweighed the costs, it was worth it.

"Master!"

The snake demon, transformed from the soul of the nine-headed serpent lizard, was directly promoted by Su Ziyu to a six-armed snake demon. As expected, she became an elite unit after the promotion.

The biggest difference is that she possesses high-level multi-attack and high-level multi-weapon combat.

Su Ziyu has not yet developed to the limit, because if he continues to upgrade the abyssal blood pool, he can advance to become a demon lord. At the same time, he can also awaken the demons to the memories of their past lives to gain some career ability enhancements, for example, the Balrog Flame Demon Beheader, which looks like a very powerful advancement.

However, the problem is that as Su Ziyu develops, those devils are also developing.

At the current stage, he clearly holds the advantage; the demons are numerous and reproduce rapidly, relying on numerical superiority to suppress the devils.

If he can gain a large amount of power of slaughter and demon gene by killing devils.

Then, can't the devils also gain advancements by killing demons?

Inside Tower Spirit No. 76, there is information on the Abyssal Blood War.

In this endless blood war between demons and devils, every time, the overwhelming number of demons faces the fewer elite devils, yet they ultimately end in failure.

Su Ziyu discovered a problem.

That is, when the numerical advantage cannot be utilized, is the large number of demon armies just providing the devils with experience in the Abyssal Blood War?

If not, why are there so many high-tier beings among the devils each time?

From the perspective of numbers, Su Ziyu's demon army is more than five times the strength of the devils, but in terms of quality, there are clearly more advanced units in the devil's army. Their development route is clearly high-quality troops.

Here's the key point.

The devils are now building a steel fortress. If this steel fortress is completed, should Su Ziyu attack or not?

If he doesn't attack, the devils' power will continue to grow; if he attacks, the casualties from a siege battle are enormous.

The final result may be that the devils gain more!

The current situation reminded Su Ziyu of a strategy game he once played on Earth, where demons were like barbarians, easily massing troops but lacking technology, while devils were like the Roman Empire, and as long as they're given time to develop, equipped with weapons and enough technology, they could reform and crush the best troops, with various ways to win with fewer against many.

Demons are an undisciplined army.

This is the most lethal issue!

When the number of demons swells to a certain extent, a lack of discipline will be an extremely critical fatal flaw.

With the current numbers, Su Ziyu is already finding it hard to command them in battle; what if the number of demons swells to hundreds of thousands?

In super-large-scale battles,

Numerical superiority won't mean as much because only so many can engage directly on the battlefield. With a bit of role reversal, Su Ziyu realizes that he needs only one-tenth of the devil's elite troops to comfortably use the steel fortress to defend against more than ten times the demon army.

Killing demons while leveling up devil elites, victory will soon tilt in his favor.

Compete in construction?

Su Ziyu looked at his messy main camp.

Compete in technology?

Su Ziyu looked at his blacksmith shop, which could only operate normally by relying on the fire giants.

There's no point in late-game battles like this.

Take a bold move!

The devils are almost done building their steel fortress, while he doesn't even have a decent city wall.

He can fully imagine what the late-game situation would be.

Skeleton Fortress.

Su Ziyu directly led people to visit the witch demon here, bringing along war spoils from the Fire Giant Tribe, prepared to trade for souls with anything temporarily unnecessary.

"Master."

"Those demons have come again!" The ghost floated in nervously.

Soon.

Su Ziyu once again met the witch demon, only this time he was wearing a monocle.

"Why did you come to me suddenly?" The witch demon asked with a strange expression.

Su Ziyu waved his hand, signaling the demons to bring up the goods, a large amount of gold, jewelry, minerals, and some items whose use he didn't know.

The undead in the Land of Burial have become scarce.

Su Ziyu, not wanting the trip to be in vain, cleared out the wandering undead along the way, gaining about a thousand soul values.

"We found traces of the devils." Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "We need some souls and hope to purchase them from you with these items."

Devils?

How could there be devils on this plane?

The witch demon quickly confirmed that the demon lord in front of him wasn't lying, then he thought of a long-buried war in his memory.

——"Abyssal Blood War!"

Demons and devils are mortal enemies in the Lower Plane.

They generally fight immediately upon encounter, sometimes bringing their respective allies. The undead also occasionally appear on the battlefield of the Abyssal Blood War.

No wonder this demon lord in front of him is so agitated; he's planning to battle the devils in a bloody conflict?

Should I help?

The witch demon looked at the pile of treasures in front of him, which were merely materials to him; he had no hobby of collecting gold and jewelry.

Maybe I can help; after all, they only want some souls.

The witch demon quickly realized that the power of these demons had grown too much, just right for a bloody battle with the devils to wear them down. As long as enough demons die, he wouldn't have to worry about the demon lord threatening the security of the Skeleton Fortress.

"Please come in." With this thought, a sinister smile appeared on the witch demon's face.

Indeed.

Let these demons go fight the devils!

It's best if both sides suffer heavy losses.

As a witch demon, he had many soul reserves at hand. He certainly wouldn't trade high-quality souls, but inferior ones could definitely be traded to these demons.

The Soul Summoning Tower often catches the souls of goblins and kobolds; these creatures' souls flow into the Lower Plane each year.

The witch demon uses them to fill the Land of Burial because these fragile souls are only enough to revive skeleton soldiers; at least human-level souls could qualify for conversion into ghosts.
