Chapter 270: Protests and Revenge

Inside the torture tower, while Lolth was handling the mercenaries from South Sotua, the thirty-nine people she sent to Demon King Castle quickly caught the attention of the demon race there.

Even with the help of the coordinate connection between the two segments of the torture tower and some preset formations, the spatial disturbance from long-distance teleporting thirty-nine people was still considerable. Furthermore, Lolth’s current status in the Demon Army meant that any slight changes in the prison tower, her "old office," which theoretically belonged to the Interrogation Department and Lolth’s territory, would naturally attract attention from all around.

Many demons gathered around the prison tower, whispering and discussing, feeling the sudden presence of thirty-nine living humans inside, leading their imaginations to run wild.

"Did Master Lolth finally think those guys on the front line were capturing prisoners too slowly and decide to take action herself?"

"Why was it sent back? Was it because the interrogation was finished and found no useful information?"

"Maybe it’s another one of Master Lolth’s tricks to lure the enemy!"

"Indeed, Lord Lolth’s plans are beyond what we can figure out."

"But I am still very curious…"

Although most of the demon race was curious about the long-awaited activity at the prison tower, due to the worry of ‘disturbing Master Lolth’s setup,’ these Abyssal Demons rarely held back their inner impulses and simply stood around the prison tower, pointing and talking.

Soon, as more and more unrelated people gathered, those who were qualified to enter the prison tower finally arrived.

A fully armed team of Little Devils, accompanied by the Barbarian Demon guards on duty today, came to this place, following the orders of the Chief Defender Lacey from Demon King Castle’s "Defense Department" and Captain Doyle of the "Messenger Team."

After a brief encounter where the mercenaries were scared to death and suddenly found themselves in a dark and damp dungeon filled with deep abyss magic, these Little Devils quickly figured out what had happened.

These confused mercenaries had no intention of hiding anything. After realizing they were in the Abyssal Demon stronghold called Demon King Castle, they understood the great feat the succubus had accomplished using spatial magic. They felt no desire to resist and shared everything they knew with the Little Devils.

However, they didn’t really know much valuable information.

But for the Little Devils, that was enough.

Soon, the information about the attack in Hillenbrand Town was passed along and reported to the direction of the Demon Tower.

"An attack happened in Hillenbrand Town. After Lord Lolth subdued all the attackers, she sent thirty-nine of them to Demon King Castle. It isn’t clear what she wants to do with them, and those thirty-nine do not possess any useful information."

The intel quickly reached Doyle Candice’s hands.

Although this Little Devil saw the message and discovered through her detector that the thirty-nine weren’t very powerful, and their identities seemed to be just a bunch of ordinary mercenaries according to her subordinate’s questioning report, she still couldn’t guess Lolth’s intention.

"Lord Lolth’s actions are still so mysterious. I should consult the Lord of the Demon King."

Doyle Candice thought this as she entered the Abyssal Hall.

"The Lord of the Demon King… Nineteen mercenaries from South Sotua, captured by Lord Lolth, were teleported from the prison tower. We still do not know Lord Lolth’s intention. Should we ask her?"

Doyle asked, and the Demon King remained silent for longer than usual.

"No need," the Demon King said, her voice quieter than before. "If Dear Lolth did not tell us, then we do not need to ask too much."

"Understood, the Lord of the Demon King," Doyle replied, hesitating, "but according to the reports, Lord Lolth captured the South Sotua mercenaries because they attacked Hillenbrand Town. Should we take action against the United Kingdom of South Sotua…?"

"No need for that. This matter is not a problem of South Sotua, any human nation, or the Holy Alliance," the Demon King’s voice was cold and lethal. "Doyle, I know what happened in Hillenbrand Town."

Hearing the Demon King say this, Doyle Candice was slightly moved and felt greatly surprised.

"You mean…?"

"Yes, I took care of it myself… Someone reached too far," the Demon King said, shifting her massive armored arm from the armrest of her grand throne to rest under her chin, tilting her head slightly to the side. "The Abyss and I, the Demon King, have been underestimated… It is time for them to understand the price of trying to move Dear Lolth from my grasp or allowing such actions!"

"Send word to the troops and officials guarding the Abyss, and inform the leaders and speakers of each race to prepare to show those arrogant ones what they are up against… Also, send a message to the other sub-king level beings. If they are willing to act, let them join me."

As the Demon King said this, even Doyle Candice, who had followed the Demon King for many years and had seen many great storms, showed an expression of extreme shock.

"Yes… the Lord of the Demon King, I understand."

Saying this, Doyle left the Abyssal Hall and rushed to the bottom of the Demon Tower, unable to hide her shock and surprise any longer.

Upon reaching the bottom floor, she hurriedly passed by a few Little Devils who bowed in greeting, and used her magic to unlock a ninth-level magic lock on a magical door, entering a room.

In the center of the room, there was a round platform of deep purple with a hint of red, where purple-black magic swirled, creating a stable dimensional passage.

However, this dimensional passage was not for people to pass through; it was only for emergency communication.

Doyle pulled the lever next to the round platform, and the chaotic purple-black magic formed a regular vortex.

"Demon King’s decree: Attention all leaders of the Demon Army Legionnaire level, minister level, and above in the Abyss; attention all Abyssal Demon clan leaders and leaders, the Abyss is now on a state of external war readiness; the messenger team, Abyssal Team Six, must convey this decree and express the intention of cooperation to the other sub-kings of the Abyss who have not yet joined the Demon Army."

After saying this, Doyle pulled the lever again, and the magic of her voice sank towards the Abyss.

Inside Abyssal Hall, the Demon King looked at the mural of the Succubus clan leader that was facing her after Doyle left.

"It really is a family legacy…"

A heavy sigh from the Lord of the Demon King echoed in Abyssal Hall, sounding a bit helpless.

In the Demon Army on the main plane, it was not only the Demon King in the Demon King Castle that took action regarding Lolth’s attack.

In the Republic of Seychelles, a small figure appeared in the streets of Aberdovey, known as the "City of Freedom."
