Chapter 42: Debate in the Abyssal Hall
Tina did not directly respond to Isabella’s words.
Because here, not only Isabella but also Tina Leinster herself does not fully trust her current state!
She had completely given up on her soul and will.
Even though Isabella had made a decision to gamble on her remaining noble soul, Tina found herself doubting her own trustworthiness.
“I will consider it… But don’t tell me the plan for now, because that succubus might be able to figure it out from my memories.”
She lowered her voice and said to Isabella, as the final response of their conversation.
Isabella agreed to this as well.
And then, in the following three days…
The two “scheming” individuals finally calmed down.
Tina always pretended to be calm in front of Lolth, but due to her lack of confidence in her acting skills, she had to reduce her chances of meeting with Lolth by taking extra care of animals and plants, seizing the opportunity to discreetly take some seeds and a few young animals each day in various farms and pastures.
On the other hand, Isabella took moving heavy objects with the Curse of Weakness as a form of training, while also scouting for escape routes during the process – even though she had learned from Tina and Lolth that they were planning to move in a few days and had roughly planned her escape during the move to the western line, there were still many things left to investigate.
Lolth, who has no control over souls like Isabella and Tina, just felt that “Isabella seems to be fitting in quickly” and “Tina seems to be more stable lately”!
Life interrupted by two unexpected guests finally returned to its usual peaceful pace, despite Lolth’s position and reputation in the Demon Army becoming more uncontrollable. However, when Lolth ignored those matters, everything seemed calm.
Now she enjoys a routine life of cooking and eating every day, with two companions who give her feedback on her cooking. She waits every day for Little Devil to notify her when to move.
However, within these three days, both the continent and the Demon Army were in turmoil.
The situation in the west gradually settled down, and the Demon King decided to allocate conquered lands to a portion of the demon race, legions, and departments that participated in the western battle, prioritizing the news spread within the Demon King Castle!
Apart from the demon dragon clan represented by the distinguished Shelldor, who received the largest and most prosperous city and hub of the Vera Plain as a territory for their first merit, there was no disagreement. However, other legions, especially the chaotic evil spirit legion of the Third Legion, the Balrog Vanguard Legion of the Seventh Legion, and the troll mixed legion of the Ninth Legion, began an unprecedented debate.
Under the Demon King’s authority, several legionnaire leaders have not yet resorted to all-out fighting because fighting among themselves is absolutely prohibited.
Since the Abyssal Demons were unified and consolidated, there have been few real internal conflicts.
Nevertheless, the smell of gunpowder intensified in the Abyssal Hall before the Demon King’s throne, hinting at the imminent possibility of all-out war.
“Your Third Legion took a whole day and a half to capture White Moon Fortress, yet still dare to claim two cities as your territory! Your evil spirits are truly insatiable!”
“The foolish undead clan, if we were to fight those elves, none of them would escape!”
“Pah! The first to reach the Anti-demon Great Wall was a death warrior from our group, while the Ninth Legion just delayed time there and almost failed to hold the line. Do you even have a complete brain between the two of you? You should set up your territory in a cave on Dragonspine Mountain and dance with dwarves in the mines!”
“What did you say, Zakavier?”
“Do you want to challenge me?”
“Stop embarrassing yourselves in front of the Demon King, being greedy like that. Even if you conquer a large territory, can your evil spirits and trolls manage it well? Besides, when it comes to who has the biggest achievements apart from the Second Legion, it’s definitely our Seventh Legion! After all, the Seventh Legion and Second Legion acted together! Both fought on two fronts!”
“Achilles, you shameless woman, following Her Excellency Shelldor around like a fool, and now being arrogant!”
“Weren’t you arguing with Her Excellency Shelldor in the camp before, looking unconvinced – now claiming it was all your own merit?”
“Initially, we thought of you as a colleague, Shelldor didn’t care, we even tried to save face for you in front of the Demon King… but now you’ve crossed the line, thinking we wouldn’t notice. Even that heavily wounded Grand Knight was captured thanks to an intervention from Lady Lolthlinda! It’s just that Lady Lolthlinda is gracious and chooses not to confront you!”
“It’s so funny, who got blasted by the dwarf cannon in the Molten Iron Fortress with the Divine Artifact information provided by Master Lolth, even without checking the intel, you trolls are not much better – and you, Zakaviel, even if Master Lolth took action, at least Isabella didn’t escape, but what about the legend of the White Moon Fortress? The first to break through the western line, you didn’t catch a few of those useless noble humans from the two human kingdoms!”
The three legionnaire leaders at the legend level were arguing fiercely with each other – even though not a single one of the four heads could actually show a red face, it was indeed a heated argument.
The Demon King sitting on the throne was still fully armored, tall and mighty, while Doyle Candice, standing beside her, took a look at the silent Demon King and realized it was time to speak up.
“Enough!”
“How dare you even mention Lord Lolth, it is she who deserves the credit for this victory,” scolded Doyle Candice, standing hands on hips in front of the three legionnaire leaders, “look at what Master Lolth did, she chose a remote town called Hillenbrand Town! It’s barren, sparsely populated, with no special resources – look at yourselves, don’t you feel ashamed!”
The three legionnaire leaders, being scolded by Doyle who was almost two levels lower in strength, could not find words to argue back.
After all, in front of the Demon King, what Doyle said was as good as what the Demon King wanted to say!
“Even though Lady Sherla has chosen Palgauro City with some selfish motives, it’s the closest place to Loess Plateau, strategically planning to continue intimidating the Holy Alliance, while Master Lolth’s choice…”
Pausing here, she glanced towards the Demon King, seeing no objections, before proceeding.
“Master Lolth’s choice holds a much deeper meaning – you will understand in the future. Your abilities are far inferior to Master Lolth’s!”
