Chapter 532: Everyone is an actor(3/4)
Even if you clearly see the danger involved, you can't say it on such occasions to dampen your boss's interest.
However, among the many demons, only one pleasure demon stood alone in an inconspicuous corner, staring at the scene of "the dancing demons" in front of him with emotionless eyes.
She is none other than Gramir, who was arranged by Zuo Si to come here to enjoy the show up close.
Only she knew that all these so-called "good news" and "signs of victory" were all arranged in advance by the lord to whom she was loyal.
It’s just that Gramir is not sure how Zuo Si defeated Kazira and his elite spiked demon army.
There is no doubt that in the current form, Archduke Bilaire not only has support from the sixth and ninth levels, but also controls the largest and most elite devil army on the fourth level.
No matter how you look at it, things are looking great.
But unfortunately, all this is an illusion, deception and fooling.
Just when Bilaire was considering whether to issue an ultimatum to his rebellious daughter, he suddenly saw Gramir in the corner who was incompatible with the surrounding atmosphere, and immediately waved to this "daughter's daughter or my daughter".
Gramir obviously did not dare to go against the will of the great devil father, so he hurriedly walked up to him, bent down and bowed deeply.
"Are you worried about the fate of your mother, Philna?" Billaire asked bluntly.
"I...I don't know."
Gramir raised his head with a very complicated expression.
To be precise, what she is worried about now is not her mother, but the fate of the father in front of her.
Upon seeing this, Belair immediately pursed his lips and comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, child, I am not as bloodthirsty and cruel as you think, and I don't want to be stained with the blood of my own children.
So after this power struggle is over, I will not kill Fierna, after all, she is still the nominal lord.
At most, she would be imprisoned in a palace tower and isolated from the outside world.
And I will allow you to visit her every once in a while.
This is your reward for waking up and turning your back on the darkness.
I believe that you can become the link between the fourth and ninth levels in the future."
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness."
Gramir forced out a smile and saluted the ancient devil again.
Through her time on the fourth level, she has deeply understood where the devil's power comes from.
It's not the title, status and strength that many people think, but the amount of power to control energy distribution.
Why is it that Fierna is already a lord, but still unable to obtain the corresponding power?
The answer is very simple!
She has never been able to take over from her father the right to distribute the divine energy squeezed out of the entire plane.
Without this distribution right, it is impossible to control the promotion and demotion of other devils.
That's why countless devils will continue to be loyal to this "regent" instead of the nominal lord.
Later, through a series of open and covert battles, Fierna gradually gained part of the power to distribute energy, and at the same time appointed some of her cronies, and then gradually gained the capital to confront Archduke Bilaire.
Just when the snake demon consultant on the side wanted to interrupt and say something, a huge portal in the open space in the distance suddenly opened out of thin air.
Immediately afterwards, an army of needle-pricking demons led by the Hell Demons poured in from the other side.
Constrained by the natural tendency of the lawful alignment, this legion still maintained a complete formation even during the operation, and after a while, they were neatly arranged in the center of the open space.
The creepy spikes on their bodies are enough to give goosebumps to anyone with trypophobia.
It also made other demon legions stationed around them nervous.
Especially the low-level little devils, evil devils, and barb devils retreated in panic, not daring to get close to these superior devils who could kill them easily.

In contrast, the Bone Demon Army and the Desire Demon Army can still remain calm.
Fortunately, this spiked demon army did not have any offensive behavior. After crossing the portal, it began to repair on the spot.
Their Abyssal Demon Commander strode through the layers of guards alone, came straight to Bilaire, knelt down on one knee and said in a tone full of shame: "I'm extremely sorry, Your Excellency, I'm late.
”
"Haha, no, you didn't come late, you came just in time.
Don't worry, I won't hate you for this.
Because I know your difficulties and the pressure you face.
But no matter what, you made the right choice in the end, and I am very happy about it.
After all, there are not many devils as smart and capable as you. I hope you can continue to become a pillar of the fourth level in the future."
Belair smiled and made a gesture of greeting, as if he was greeting an old friend, rather than a wallflower who had to make a choice until the end.
"Your tolerance makes me feel even more guilty and uncomfortable."
As he said this, Kazira actually shed tears, with an expression as if he had made a heinous mistake.
"It doesn't have to be this way.
Come, stand next to me.
From today on, you and your spiked demon army will be my personal bodyguards, responsible for protecting my safety.
I will prove to everyone that regardless of whether the devils on the fourth level have supported Fierna before, as long as they are willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, I will never blame them.
Not only that, I will also entrust them with important tasks based on their talents."
Bilaire obviously intends to use the Hell Demon in front of him to stage a political show in order to win over and dismantle the forces that have gathered around his daughter to resist.
But he obviously doesn't know what price he will pay for this decision next.
Kazira hurriedly climbed up the pole, not only successfully penetrated into the interior, but also occupied an extremely advantageous position.
Suddenly, all the devils present came forward to congratulate him on becoming the confidant of Archduke Bilaire. The happy scene simply gave people a strong sense of unreality.
I have to say that all the senior devils are excellent actors.
From Grand Duke Belair to Kazira, to other hell fiends and snake demons, all of them, without exception, have a layer of disguise that is hard to see through.
There are even several devils who are spies sent here deliberately by Fierna as undercover agents.
……
On the other side, in the sixth level of Baator Hell, Gracia has completed mobilization and formed a huge demon army.
When she returned to the Skull Palace and asked Zuo Si when she could take action, the reply she received was "When did I say I would launch an attack?"
Ever since, the two of them froze with their eyes wide open.
After probably several minutes, when the Hell Princess came to her senses, she angrily questioned: "Since you don't plan to launch an attack, why do you want me to summon the army? And put up such a big battle?"
p>
Zuo Si held his chin and explained patiently: "Of course it is to confuse other lords and attract their attention.
Do you think I'm crazy?
Will you be allowed to rashly enter another level and trigger an all-out civil war among the lords?
The current situation is tense enough, there is no need to break everyone's tense nerves.
What's more, I have already found the final key role, and now a good show is taking place on the fourth level."
"Damn it! Then why didn't you tell me in advance? You made me work like an idiot for a long time!"
In annoyance, Gracia picked up a whip and whipped the devil's servant who was venting her anger, beating him until he was bloody and bloody, and finally died on the spot.
The other devils in the palace have obviously become accustomed to this.
The little devil in charge of cleaning quickly rushed out, cleaned up the scene very quickly, and then disappeared out of sight.
"If I told you in advance that it was fake, would you still perform so truthfully and hard?
No, with your personality you will definitely choose to do things perfunctorily.
So in order to make everything seem more real, I didn't tell you the truth.
What's more, if you want to deceive your enemy, you must first deceive yourself.
If even you don't know the true purpose of gathering the army, then naturally the spies planted by other lords in this palace will not know either.
The false news passed back through them can make those lords believe it and react as I expected.
So everything you see is part of a larger plan.
I hope that through this incident you can learn not to be too impatient no matter what situation you encounter. Calm down and think is the only way out."
As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si directly raised his finger and pointed at several devils standing around who held important positions, and directly ordered: "Arrest them all. It is these guys who secretly sent out one piece of information after another.
."
The next second...
The entire palace hall instantly became chaotic.
To be continued...
