The lord is an undercover agent

Chapter 29 29. Test the player's plan

Although Bell was reluctant to admit it, Sifel's extraordinary style of acting disrupted his layout.

"It's too weird. There is absolutely no reason for Vika and Laizes to be downgraded. They are still in charge of causing war in the Red Bay world, providing an opportunity for the next step of the Devil Legion's military intervention.

"They are now in charge of such an important task, and they are dismissed at this point, Xi Feier must have discovered that they are the pawns I buried.

"The two have never shown their loyalty to me only in private. On the surface, they should be very supportive of the new lord.

"How did Sifel find out!"

The more Bell thought about it, the weirder he became, and he was puzzled by the iron-blooded wrist of the new Grand Duke.

He originally heard that Sifel is a new generation devil about 100 years old.Before becoming the Grand Duke of the Wilderness of War, Sifel was just a fringe devil count on the ninth floor of hell.

Therefore, when Sifel first came to power, both Bell himself and other high-level devils believed that the new lord would not have any special talents.

But Bell could only feel it when he was actually playing against Sifel, the new devil archduke.

On the other side of the chessboard, Sifel's movements are unpredictable!
Before the distant era, Bell was just a mortal soul transformed into a trembling, squirming, lowly low-level demon with no sense at all.Relying on ambition, talent, and perhaps a lot of luck, he has been promoted all the way to where he is today.

Countless times of surpassing his boss, and countless times of stepping down a powerful devil who once looked down on him, let Bell not despise any competitor who seems to be bullying.

"Sifel, I seem to understand why the Lord of the Nine Prisons promoted you to be Grand Duke." Bell seemed to understand something, sneered, and a few wisps of smoke with a sulfur smell drifted out of his mouth.

"However, if you think about it better, maybe Sifel didn't really discover the eyeliner I arranged, but just out of excessive caution."

Bell feels that possibility cannot be ruled out.

However, just out of prudence, depose and demote the devil who has important positions and talents...

This motivation is not strong enough!
What other motives are there?

Enough motivation to make Sifel willing to sacrifice the long-term interests of the territory, but also to downgrade so many devils.

Could it be that······

Bell suddenly realized, and with a flash of inspiration, he thought of a possibility.

"Sifel needs a lot of soul energy!"

The soul energy released during the devil's downgrade process is depleted, not as much as it is consumed during promotion, so experienced lords will avoid doing this frequently.Using corporate financial management strategy as an example, this approach is similar to "selling the company's fixed assets in exchange for working capital", and it is indeed a feasible strategy to avoid cash flow disruption.

And Bell knows that recently, the "cash flow" of the first floor of the Nine Prisons, that is, the output of liquid soul energy that can be directly controlled by the lord, is indeed not optimistic.Recently, many torture rooms that extract soul energy are empty.

"What does Sifel need these soul energies for? It must be something tempting enough that he would rather dismiss his excellent subordinates and have to do it."

Bell thought to himself.

A few seconds later, he wanted to recall a previous message.

Not long ago, Sifel mobilized a large amount of soul energy to cast a large-scale magic to connect with other planes!

Thinking about it this way, Bell felt that the broken beads seemed to be connected in series, and everything became logical.Behind all of Sifel's unreasonable actions, there is an inner logic hidden.

"Sifel is planning an extremely important grand plan that may be related to his entire career as a lord. This plan needs to connect to a different plane, perhaps recruiting mercenaries from a certain material world.

"In order to complete this plan, he must spend an extremely large amount of soul energy. However, there is not much soul energy available in the territory.

"In order to fill the gap in the expenditure of soul energy, Sifel took risks and downgraded all the devils who might secretly be loyal to me, no matter how important tasks they have!"

After figuring out Sifel's strategy, Bell decided to take action.

"If Sifel wants to recruit helpers from other worlds, I can find someone to test it out."

Facing the shadow in the corner of the huge fortress, he said in an orderly tone:

"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 floor of hell..."

After completing the layout and explaining the commands,
Bell flew down from the huge throne and landed beside the lava river.

"In two days, I'm going to see Sifel in person."

On the meandering, bubbling lava river, Bell's terrifying shadow was reflected when he spread his wings.

"The tide of demons is coming in a year, how will you deal with it..."

··········
3 hours before the start of the closed beta.

Inside the lord's castle.

In the empty, dark, and lonely hall, the candlelight on the wall flickered.

Sifel adjusted the task list in the document in his mind.

[Completed task: Forming a new palace]

[Task 1: Recruit Blue Star players, find a suitable task to apply for a budget, and distribute rewards]

[Task 2: Find out the secrets related to Lulu and Lan Xing.Which or which devil knows the existence of Lanxing and signed a contract with Lulu? 】

He sat on the bench, put his hands on the quaint and mottled bronze table, and checked Lulu's work.

"Good job, Lulu, just wait a few hours for the players to arrive." Sifel smiled.

Because of the lord's appreciation, Lulu's face flushed with blush.

Sifel sat up straight:
"Fortunately, everything is going according to plan. If the internal beta of "Dawn" is postponed, it will collide with the next-generation virtual reality game "Twilight of Doom". I remember that "Twilight of Doom" is also a game with a magical theme."

"But, my lord..." Lulu hesitated and hesitated as if she had discovered something particularly terrifying.
