"Master! You... you are so powerful!" Carl was the first to speak in the hall, and he cried with joy.

Carl was still good at flattering as always, and he caught the right opportunity.

Before the other big devils even reacted, Carl had already flattered.

The other big devils hurried to follow, but Huo Ling waved his hand and interrupted their flattery.

Huo Ling said: "Okay! Let's talk about flattery later."

"Yes, yes, Master!"

"Master, your floating city is really huge, and I feel scared when I look at it!" Sally said next to him.

"With this floating city, our bloody battle with the devil will probably be smoother!"

"Yes! General, the floating city is really too strong."

Huo Ling nodded slightly and said: "Although the floating city is strong, the work of training soldiers also needs to be accelerated!"

"Yes! General!"

Huo Ling waved his hand to drive away the other big devils, leaving only his three confidants, Carl, Sally and Slater.

Although other big devils also signed a master-servant contract with Huo Ling, they were a step slower and the relationship was much worse.

When the three big devil marquises were left by Huo Ling, they looked at each other and felt happy.

The sense of honor between devils is also based on comparison.

Carl said: "Master, you are so powerful that you should not be just a dark general. I think that only the position of Lord Avernus is suitable for you!"

"Yes, Master! The current Lord is too cowardly. I heard that this Lord has never come out of the central fortress since he succeeded to the throne of the Lord."

"For hundreds of years, he has been staying in the central fortress of the bronze fortress! He didn't even participate in the bloody battle with the devil!"

Sally, the big devil, was also very dissatisfied with Bayer.

For the devils, they admire those leaders who often go to war, even bloody battles.

When Bayer was a dark general, he did a good job in this regard and was deeply admired by the devil soldiers in the legion.

But when he became Lord Avernus, the soldiers under his command and other devils never saw Bayer in battle again.

This once most brave and warlike general seemed to have suddenly become a coward among the devils.

In addition to the bloody battle between the devils and demons, the devils were trapped in the bronze fortress after Bayer changed their tactics. The overall strength of the devils was enhanced.

However, this also created a problem.

The devils are not like other races. As long as they have strong power and more troops, they will have more ideas.

For example, backstabbing their leaders.

Now for many big devils, for many devil dukes or marquises, who is their leader.

In Avernus, the two existing leaders are Purgatory Lord Bayer and Dark General Huo Ling.

Among them, Huo Ling's incarnation is powerful and obvious to all, and every time he fights, Huo Ling's incarnation will burst out with powerful power and charge at the forefront of the battle.

He often kills legendary demons and even powerful abyss lords.

This makes many Purgatory nobles know the power of Huo Ling. The current status of Huo Ling is even higher than when Bayer was the Dark General.

Even the demon army under his command, because of Huo Ling's strength and the support of the undead, had a much lower casualty rate than other demon armies.

As for Bayer, for hundreds of years, he has been hiding in the central fortress of the bronze fortress, never leaving the gate or the second door.

His strength has long been forgotten by the demons. When a demon leader is no longer threatening in the eyes of other demons, it is the time when conspiracies are being planned.

Huo Ling smiled slightly, looked at the three great demon marquises under his command, and said with a smile: "Why, do you think I am more suitable to be the Lord of Avernus?"

Sally immediately patted his chest and said: "No other demon is more suitable to be the Lord of Purgatory than the master!"

"Master, not only do we support you, but other dark demons also admire you very much. If you don't become the Lord of Avernus, it will be the loss of the demons!" Carl said excitedly.

Seeing the devils under his command so excited, Huo Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, the time has not come yet."

Rebellion is never something that can be accomplished overnight.

Even in Purgatory, if a devil wants to backstab his leader, it will take a long time to prepare and make several plans at the same time.

Although Huo Ling wanted to become Lord Avernus, he couldn't rush to do it right after returning from the spirit world.

He needed to slowly erode power, at leastHe has more say in the Bronze Fortress.

During the years when Huo Ling served as Li Yi's pope in the spirit world, Huo Ling's incarnation did a good job.

On the one hand, the incarnation was brave and good at fighting, leaving a deep impression in the minds of the vast number of grassroots devils.

Almost all the devils in the Bronze Fortress and various demon armies know that the current Dark General Avernus is a powerful devil who is keen on bloody battles.

On the other hand, Huo Ling's experience in political struggles is also extremely rich. He is on good terms with the surrounding Purgatory Dukes and secretly makes some py deals with these Purgatory Dukes.

Compared with Bayer, the Dark General Huo Ling has many advantages. Even if they are both recruiting soldiers, Huo Ling recruits much fewer soldiers from the territories of these dukes than Bayer.

Devils are sometimes also a resource in Purgatory, especially for Purgatory nobles.

The continuous recruitment of soldiers by the Bronze Fortress is also a blood draw for these dukes.

At the same time, the devils are all evil, especially these Dukes of Purgatory, who also fantasize about becoming the Lord of Avernus.

Even if their strength and status are far from enough to reach this level, it does not prevent them from pulling down the original leaders, and maybe their status can rise.

Therefore, in the process of Huo Ling's friendship with other Dukes of Purgatory, this is a two-way choice. Cooperating with Huo Ling, less investment and more benefits.

Trading with Bayer, more investment, less benefits, and for the dukes, Bayer is too cowardly, maybe there is a chance to make trouble.

Over the years, Huo Ling has the support of many Dukes of Purgatory, and this support is not only in recruiting soldiers, but also gives Huo Ling the opportunity to reach out to the war zone of the Bronze Fortress.

That's right, since Huo Ling has gained a foothold in the position of Dark General, his incarnation has begun to erode the power of the Bronze Fortress.

But compared to the previous erosion in the Bronze Fortress, this erosion is much slower.
