Chapter 643 Will not be silenced...(1/2)
Balzefen's hoarse shout immediately silenced the bronze hall that was originally in an uproar. Everyone looked at the leader of the Hell Demon General with different expressions.
clang!
The devil guards in the hall all drew their swords and pointed at Balzefen. Bayer, who was the captain of the guards in front of the hall, even shouted:
"Mind your identity, Balzefen!"
The implication is that this is our internal meeting in Avernus. Allowing you to observe it is already giving you face. What right do you, a mere Hell Demon General, have to object?
But Li Wei on the throne raised his claws, and Bayer and all the devil guards retreated their troops.
"Go on, Lord Balzefen." Li Wei held up his paw and looked at the hell demon general with interest.
Balzefen took a deep breath, knowing that the Silver Dragon Archduke in front of him was not a weakling like Bayer, so he bent his straight back and bowed to show respect:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my previous rudeness, but since the Contract of the Beginning, there has never been a precedent for Baator Hell and Seven Hills of Heaven to join forces, and we devils have never disdained to associate with those hypocritical guys!"
Seeing that this tough guy finally put away his arrogant look, Bayer, who was standing next to the dragon, felt inexplicably secretly happy, but also slightly anxious.
If he had been in the past when he was sitting on the bronze throne and ruling, he would never have dared to speak like this to these eight reckless men. It would have been too late to flatter them.
More importantly, he, Bayer, has been wasting hundreds of years on this! He wants to push the battle line to the abyss, to the front of Broken Territory Town, to free his wife Red Shroud from the control of the will of the abyss.
Take it back!
In order to achieve this goal, no matter what he is asked to do!
No matter what the price is, don’t hesitate!
Any decision that can speed up this process will be unconditionally supported by Bayer!
Let alone unite with those hypocritical archon angels, even if he is allowed to lick the buttholes of those birdmen!
Any factor that hinders this expedition is Bayer's enemy!
Fight until death!
So the former Archduke of Avernus looked up at Balzefen and asked:
“But isn’t the first priority of order the destruction of chaos?
"Now is a good opportunity to completely destroy the Abyss after an infinite period of time. As long as they can deal with the Abyss, any potential allies can be fought for.
"Do you know how much more sacrifices we have to make to pay for your ridiculous face?!"
But when Balzefen heard these words, he suddenly laughed, and his eyes could no longer hide the anger that had been in him for countless years:
"Potential allies?
"Sorry, those guys who claim to be kind and just have never regarded us as allies.
"As for the first priority of order is to destroy chaos? Yes, this is indeed one of the most important clauses in the "Original Code of Order".
"But it turned out later that it was just a joke!
"In that vast and eternal battle, His Majesty Asmodeus was the bravest and most beautiful of all angels!
"He killed more demons than any other angel, or even any god.
"But His Majesty Asmodeus led us, but in the endless battles, he gradually acquired some characteristics of the devil, and his originally beautiful appearance became ugly.
"And they actually asked the God of Order to expel us bad people infected with the blood of demons!
"His Majesty Asmodeus was even asked to stand trial before Heirones, the God of Courage.
“And His Majesty readily accepted the accusation and asked the same question: Shouldn’t the first priority of order be to destroy chaos?
"The angels in the mountains were speechless, but Heirones asked: But you and your companions have been eroded during the battle. Can you promise not to move around from now on, lest we also be contaminated?"
"Look, we paid for ourselves to be eroded so that they could remain beautiful, but in exchange... we got the fear of us from the God of Order and other angels!
"And they want to take away our remaining freedom!
"In the end, His Majesty Asmodeus made a compromise and led us to move out of Heavenly Mountain and build an area in the void specifically to punish those who fell into chaos and evil.
“That’s the hell of Baator where we are now!
"In this way, we got the Taichu Agreement that allows us to recruit dead souls to participate in this eternal battle!
"For these endless ages! It is we, the devils of Bator, who have fought successively on the bloody battlefields with our blood and lives, in exchange for the comfort and peace of the entire world!
"So that those hypocritical archon angels can keep their feathers clean and promote their so-called justice, mercy, order, grace and mercy!
"It's all us...
"It's us..."
Hearing the sigh of this dark demon who had followed the Lord of the Nine Hells to this day from high to low, the Bronze Hall fell into silence again.
Even Bayer was caught off guard and didn't know how to refute for a moment.
At this moment, Balzefen slowly raised his head and growled:
"If they really want to join the war, where will they be when Chaos invades?
"Where were they when the tide of demons broke through Avernus's defenses again and again, igniting the beacon fires of the Nine Hells?
"Is it because we have become evil that... we deserve to die? To pay for... this unnecessary original sin?
"From beginning to end, this is our devil's war... our devil's bloody battle!
"Why should we let those hypocritical angels join in at this time to share the glory that belongs to us devils!
"Why!?"
The hall remained silent.
"Glory? Hehehehe." A deep voice echoed in the hall.
Everyone looked at the Grand Duke Silver Dragon who was smiling to himself on the throne in astonishment.
Li Wei slowly raised his head and said indifferently:
"The reason why glory can become glory is because we are still alive and standing here at this moment.
“It’s because generations of war dead have entrusted this honor to the living, and the living have given the meaning of their passing, and only in this way can they be honored.
"But if when we, when all the devils are killed, when the successors are cut off, when the whole world turns into nothingness, then who will remember this glory?
"And when no one remembers this glory, then what meaning does this so-called glory have?"
Balzefen's eyes showed disbelief: "How... is this possible?"
At this moment, not only him, but all the devils looked at each other, feeling that this lord was being alarmist.
Hell has existed for countless millions of years and will continue to exist for countless millions of years. This is a concept that all devils firmly believe in.
According to this statement, wouldn’t this world be...
At this time, I heard Li Wei sigh:
"This world is already in danger."
If it weren't for the seriousness of the Grand Duke, they would have thought that their lord was entertaining them.
"Whether you believe it or not, this crisis has arrived.
"Aren't you curious about where I have been during the sixty years since I disappeared?
"I...returned from the 'edge of the world'.
“Through that layer of ‘boundaries’, I saw the collapsed and decayed city-state, and the sneaky shadow of the devil lingering on the ruins.
"I saw the wave of destruction that started at the edge of the vast universe and swept across the already dim sea of stars.
"I saw...the silence of the end of this era.
"Unfortunately, if we continue to adhere to the dogma and glory of the past, we will probably...have nothing left.
"Those brave and sad dead, all our past efforts and ideals, our beliefs and glory passed down from generation to generation.
"Everything will become...meaningless because of the loss of bearing."
The devils in the hall today had more silent moments than before, and all kinds of incredible information had shaken their past perceptions to pieces.
Unfortunately, Levi could only inform them of the crisis they were facing in this way.
The more people know about the existence of Mephitlan, their knowledge, fear, and admiration will become each other's nourishment.
Then I heard Li Wei continue:
"So, put away your naive and stubborn ideas.
"No one can stay out of this war.
"We must mobilize all available forces.
"Besides, why... We fought bloody battles on the bloody battlefield, and the group of birdmen on Paradise Mountain can enjoy the results without getting stained with blood, eh?
"Why?"
The devils were finally filled with righteous indignation.
Yes, why!
