Chapter 541 The King of War
……

quickly.

The magic signal sent by Matthew was effectively confirmed and responded to.

This meant that all three rogues were ready to steal.

Matthew controlled his slightly excited mood.

Subsequently.

They moved some distance deeper into the corridor.

Got to this location.

Matthew further confirmed Gracia's breath.

"She's right."

"By the way, does Gracia come to Deep Black Castle often?"

He asked Mrs. Wolf for details.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mrs. Wolf's face, but she quickly replied:

"From what I understand, that's not common."

"Although Baron Phantom tried his best to please that woman, she has too many male favorites under her command, and it is impossible for him to take care of every one of them."

"And she usually stays in Paradise Manor when she comes to Shadow Rift. I think the Skull of Bator in Paradise Manor is more important to her than the Baron himself."

"Of course, sometimes they indulge in sensual pleasures. You know, demons are evil creatures, and their lawfulness is just a cover for their evil nature."

"As for desire, they appear restrained yet unbridled, numb yet perverted, especially monsters like the Lust Demons who feed themselves on playing with other people's desires. Their demands on their partners are extremely terrifying. In the early days of the Lust Demon Queen's rule over Baator Purgatory, there were often rumors that certain lords were sucked dry by her. It wasn't until later that things got better..."

Matthew was surprised and said:
"Could it be that the Lust Demon Queen has learned her limits later on?"

Mrs. Wolf shook her head:
"I don't think so."

"It's more likely that she later gained experience in nipping these rumors in the bud..."

Matthew shrugged.

What Mrs. Wolf said was a reasonable possibility.

"In short, the Succubus Queen is an extremely wanton creature, but also shrewd and cunning."

"The reason why she still values ​​the Phantom Baron is not only because of his talent in governing the territory, but also because the Shadow Demon is immune to her deadly demands in bed."

Mrs. Wolf continued to complain about the couple's dark history:
"At every critical moment, the Shadow Fiend can transform part of his body into a shadow to avoid being sucked dry... At the same time, he can also accumulate strength to gather strength for the next fierce attack..."

Matthew showed a strange look on his face:
"How do you know so clearly?"

Mrs. Wolf's face showed more shame and anger:
"When I was first imprisoned, Baron Phantom often came to see me. Every time he came, he would describe the details of his reconciliation with that woman in front of me."

"I think this is not only a humiliation, but also a guide full of depravity and maliciousness."

"In fact, I also know that the reason why the Phantom Baron didn't kill me was that on the one hand, he might have been concerned about my teacher, and on the other hand, he coveted the natural dream that I had."

"He probably wanted to get more from me, but unfortunately I was on guard afterwards, so he never succeeded and gradually stopped coming..."

After listening to this, Matthew groaned and said:
"According to your description, the relationship between you and Baron Phantom doesn't seem to be particularly close."

Mrs. Wolf said shyly:
"of course."

"I'm just a nature soul. Even if I can possess a physical body in the material world, I'm still a petite wolf. I can't really let anything happen between us, right?"

"I naively thought he was just like what I saw during his recovery, so I helped him without hesitation."

"Who knew the Shadow Demon could be so evil, greedy, and shameless!"

"Now that I think about it, maybe I was just too lonely at the time. Oh... It's bad luck. It's all my fault for being so stupid..."

then.

She couldn't help but scold the Phantom Baron for a long time.

While Matthew gently comforted Mrs. Wolf and persuaded her to accept his proposal, he used the gift of the will of the Blood River to further lock down the specific location of Rhaegar's soul.

This is not a difficult task.

The guidance of the Blood River's will came fiercely and clearly.

Matthew could even vaguely smell the perfume of the Succubus Queen through this perceptual guidance!

This situation actually aroused Matthew's vigilance.

For a moment.

He even suspected that this was a deliberate trap set by the Blood River Will to lure him in. Once he acted rashly, he might be ambushed by Gracia and other demon lords.

But soon.

Matthew gradually dispelled similar concerns.

The Blood River Will can certainly do this.

But if it really wanted to do so, it could ambush Matthew in even harsher places as soon as he entered Purgatory or went deep into Purgatory.

For example, the River of Silver.

For example, Fufeng Slope.

In comparison, although the Phantom Baron's castle has certain geographical advantages, it lacks the suppression and targeting of plane-level laws.

It would be easier for Matthew to escape.

"Since I entered Purgatory, the Blood River Will has shown its kindness several times. What does it want from me?"

"Glaxia should also be the favorite of the Blood River Will. Otherwise, she would not be able to sit firmly on the position of the Queen of Lust Demons, and the story of the planetary defense war would not happen. Under normal circumstances, the Blood River Will would almost never choose me if it had to choose between me and her..."

Matthew's mind was spinning rapidly.

Soon he figured out two ways to fight Gracia:

First of all.

The Blood River Will is unlikely to kill him right now, most likely because he has invisible value to Purgatory.

The reason why it gave gifts and even sent the coordinates of Rega's soul to Matthew was to win him over.

In other words.

For the Blood River Will.

It allowed, even ignored, Matthew's attempt to take back the soul of Rhaegar from Gracia.

Secondly, go further.

If Matthew wanted to take this opportunity to kill Gracia, the situation might change drastically -

Matthew is just an outsider after all.

However, Gracia is an important official that the Blood River Will relies on to expand its territory, and he is also an important tool to suppress the Will of Barto.

Once he and Gracia had a head-on confrontation in the purgatory space.

It will inevitably be suppressed by the Blood River's will in all aspects.

The situation at that time will be very difficult to predict.

But this action was a great opportunity for Matthew.

If we can kill Gracia in one go, the subsequent battle to defend the planet will be much easier.

And just as this thought emerged in his mind.

Matthew suddenly felt the same feeling of being watched again.

So he quickly restrained his malice:
"Forget it, there's no need to be so radical. Just get Rega's soul and leave..."

After a few seconds.

The feeling of being watched was gone.

Matthew glanced at the data column with a feeling of relief.

……

“Hint: You have successfully passed the Malice check for “Blood River Will”.

Detect your current attitude towards Purgatory: Neutral"

……

really.

The Blood River Will still protects its own people.

Matthew curled his lips calmly.

next second.

He and Carmela looked at each other, and there was a hint of understanding in each other's eyes:

"I thought you would lose your temper."

Matthew smiled calmly:
"I had no plans to do anything. I like Purgatory. After getting what I want, I am happy to get along with the devils on good terms."

The smile in Carmela's eyes became even more intense:
"Very good, you have grasped the essence of being a devil, which is hypocrisy."

"But I also need to remind you not to get too involved in the play—"

"Purgatory's corruption and infection of people are pervasive, forcing you to be hypocritical. This may also be a manifestation of the will of the Blood River."

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

Subsequently.

Mrs. Wolf agreed to Matthew's proposal.

She transformed into a wolf cape again and wrapped it around Matthew's shoulders. Sandrine also hid in Paradise Lost.

Matthew and Carmela quickly moved in the direction of the Lust Queen.

There is Mrs. Wolf, who is a local boss.

Their operation went smoothly.

Soon.

The two of them quietly reached the core area of ​​the castle's so-called most tightly guarded military zone.

Leaning against a city wall.

Matthew saw the courtyard below filled with demons, and a large number of chariots and vehicles were brought in from another gate, all equipped with sophisticated armor.

at the same time.

A large number of flying creatures also appeared in the sky above the castle.

There are demons riding giant bats, infernal dragons breathing poisonous flames, and flying chariots with blazing flames at the tail.

Such a huge number of demons gathered together.

The sky above the Deep Black Castle should have been crowded with people.

But the devil's obedience to order was also reflected to the extreme at this moment.

Matthew stood there and watched for several minutes.

I didn't hear any unnecessary noise.

What was coming through the air were extremely efficient military and dispatch instructions.

Stand in this position.

They also once again felt the aura from the flag of conscription.

Matthew judged.

A large number of devil soldiers recruited from the direction of Shadow Rift gathered here.

They seemed to be being transported somewhere.

"There are even more demons gathered in the castle's lobby and under the bridge at the main entrance."

Carmela quickly described the observations of the prophecy:

"This is not an accidental gathering, but a long-planned war order."

"Greshia seems to want to take these demons to attack somewhere. I found some portals. They haven't been opened yet, but we can rule out interplanetary portals..."

Hear this.

Matthew's heart, which had just been tense, finally relaxed.

Just saw this situation.

He thought Gracia was preparing to raid the planet Stuluk!
But since we are not attacking Stuluk.

What kind of enemy would make the Queen of Lust mobilize such a large army?
And why choose this juncture?

Could it be that Gracia is so arrogant that she would face a major battle to attack the planet Stuluk in two months, but she wants to waste her troops on a meaningless war now?

Matthew knew that guessing alone would not yield the answer.

In order to obtain more information.

They can only take certain risks and blend into the devil's army!
There is nothing we can do about it.

After all, Gracia's position is right in the center of the army.

Want to get close to her.

You have to disguise yourself as a devil.

"I can turn you into a devil, but you still have to be careful. In front of the devil lord, there is still a risk that my divine disguise will be discovered."

Carmela warned sternly.

Matthew nodded.

Then, the two of them transformed themselves under the disguise of divine magic and turned into two servant demons wearing logistics uniforms.

They moved along with the bustling crowd.

Soon.

In the vestibule of the Deep Black Castle.

The two who were mixed up in the devil's army met Gracia again.

This time they were very close.

Only about fifty meters.

The Queen of Lust suddenly appeared on the balcony on the second floor of the front yard.

Her appearance caused a slight disturbance in the orderly order at the scene.

All the demons cast their scorching eyes towards the beautiful figure on the balcony——

This kind of behavior is not allowed by other demon lords and may even result in severe beatings.

But the Queen of Lust enjoys the admiring, lustful, longing and even jealous looks from everyone.

Face these eyes.

Not only did she smile with enjoyment, she also happily unbuttoned the silk robe that hung on her slender waist, letting it slide down freely, revealing the perfect creation displayed on her bronze skin unconcealed in front of everyone.

Along with this action.

All the demons present, both men and women, began to breathe rapidly!

Unfortunately, this action only lasted for a moment.

Matthew just blinked.

Then he found that the silk robe had returned to the body of the Queen of Lust.

As if it had never slipped.

Matthew stared at her intently, just like the other demons around him.

But the difference with them is.

Matthew's eyes were always focused on the waist of the Queen of Devil, where a large string of soul coins that jingled as she walked was faintly visible.

he knows.

Rhaegar's soul was sealed in one of the coins.

When those copper coins shook, they were as dazzling as the stars in the sky, giving people a psychedelic illusion.

Matthew sensed some danger signals.

This means that Gracia not only cast many alarm and counterattack spells on the soul coin, but also created several layers of illusion disguise.

This greatly increases the difficulty of stealing copper coins!
"Don't be in a hurry, wait for the opportunity."

Matthew remained calm.

At this moment.

Gracia raised her hand slightly, and all the demons present immediately fell silent. In the castle, which should have been noisy, it seemed that even a pin drop could be heard.

She smiled and said:

"I told many of you this a long time ago."

"One day, we will take back what we lost."

"The descendants of Baator will no longer endure contempt and humiliation."

"We will remind friends, neighbors, enemies, and everyone else that our ancestors were once great "Lords of War."

"I told you that I would lead you to plant the flag of Baator in every place you desire."

"Purgatory, Abyss, Astral Plane."

"Stuluk, Aiendor, above the heavens."

"And today is the first step we take to awaken the Lord of War."

"In my opinion, this won't even be a war. This will be a one-sided massacre."

"Poor Beckmann was so clever that he thought he could get away with it by associating with the Twilight Creatures and the evil gods from another world."

"But the will of the Blood River is everywhere."

“It already knows everything.”

"I know everything, too."

"Now, come with me and fight for me."

"Go through this door."

"Kill all the aliens behind the door."

"From today on, the passion of the descendants of the King of War will be rekindled in you."

"And so is glory..."
