106th Layer: [Desolate Flame Plain],

A vast army composed of various demons is marching towards their destination. Lis is among the ranks, seemingly unremarkable.

Honestly, he hadn’t expected this kind of war between Abyss Lords would require physically rushing to the battlefield.

Isn’t this a bit too low-level?

Can’t they even open an Abyss Gate?

Is it that Lord Dominic wants to conserve strength, or does he really lack the ability to do so?

Lis was puzzled but did not ask others proactively.

Because, in front of him, the army is too chaotic.

Even with those Balrog Flame Demon guards maintaining order, it only keeps the demons slightly in check, conflicts still erupt between them from time to time.

This is the nature of demons, something that even the Legendary Flame Demon Dominic cannot change.

Lis doesn’t know any demon friends; beings like the Enchanting Demon Vivian are few, most demons only have muscles in their heads.

Honestly, Lis feels this demon army is merely cannon fodder, unlikely to contribute to the battles between Abyss Lords.

In fact, Lis feels they might not even count as cannon fodder.

Although Lis senses that many Abyss Demons in this army have decent strength at the Golden Rank.

But with such chaos, can they really follow the commands of an Abyss Lord?

Moreover, Lord Dominic’s appearance was only seen once at the beginning of the journey and then never again.

Could it be... is there some secret about the conflicts between Abyss Lords that he doesn’t know?

And is this the reason Dominic went to such lengths to bring along these demons?

From the intel Lis received from Vivian, the battles between the Legendary Flame Demon Dominic and the Legendary Witch Demon Garrison had already erupted many times.

Though Vivian was vague, it’s likely Dominic was at a disadvantage.

If not, the battleground should not have been Dominic’s territory, the [Desolate Flame Plain], but the 107th Layer, the [Nether Breath Domain].

Plus, before this, Dominic was always accompanied by his elite Flame Demon troops in battles.

Could it be that the Flame Demon troops suffered heavy losses in previous wars?

Lis speculates, but he faintly feels this might not be the problem.

Just then, Lis noticed a Flame Demon noticeably taller than the others passing by nearby.

Seeing this, Lis approached this Balrog Flame Demon.

"Lord Rodrick!"

Hearing someone call his name, Rodrick turned his head.

A moment later, he reacted, looking at Lis and saying:

"So you’re here, why didn’t I see you when we set off?"

"I was in the middle of the army then and couldn’t find you."

Lis said politely.

He was quite interested in this Balrog Flame Demon before him.

If he guessed correctly, this Balrog Flame Demon should be one of Dominic’s commanders.

Perhaps he could gather useful information from him.

"Alright."

Rodrick nodded, looking at Lis and said:

"Don’t stay here, follow me."

"Okay."

Lis nodded and followed behind Rodrick.

Many demons noticed the situation here and looked over, but quickly averted their gaze after seeing Rodrick.

Evidently, they were a bit wary of Rodrick.

Rodrick was quite satisfied with Lis’s current humble attitude.

Back when recruiting, Lis showed no mercy in defeating that Ox Demon.

Now with this attitude, he should be more obedient, right?

Rodrick just wanted a useful subordinate; disobedience wasn’t favorable.

"You’re a Vampire, right? How proficient are you in Blood Magic?"

Walking towards the front of the line, Rodrick inquired Lis:

"It’s alright." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Lis replied directly.

"That’s good, have you fought the Undead before?"

"I have, a few times, but not against many Undead."

After speaking, Lis paused for a moment, then continued:

"Lord Rodrick, I heard this time we’re fighting the Undead, is that true?"

"Indeed."

Rodrick nodded and said without hiding:

"Those bone fragments aren’t much trouble, but those ghosts are quite annoying."

"If we encounter them, I’ll leave them to you."

"Perform well, and you’ll be handsomely rewarded."

"Alright, I’ll follow your arrangements then."

"I’m quite confident against ghosts."

Lis nodded, looking confident.

"Good!"

Rodrick said satisfactorily and tossed some roughly crafted equipment with embedded red gemstones to Lis.

"Take this equipment, and stay close to me, understood?"

"Yes."

Lis put on the crudely forged equipment and followed behind Rodrick.

He didn’t expect this Flame Demon Commander to casually consider him a subordinate.

Rodrick seemed not to doubt anything.

Yet, judging from Rodrick’s demeanor, he didn’t seem to have any special intentions?

Maybe just wait and see!

Lis followed behind Rodrick, mingling with the Balrog Flame Demons.

However, Lis noticed that, besides Rodrick, other Balrog Flame Demons also had a few Abyss Demons following them.
