Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 572 572. Have you seen my crown?

Among the conquered territories, as many as 30% of the people rebelled directly after Mo Hao left.

For any stable regime, this would be enough to cause great trouble or even the beginning of its collapse.

Even if he was a great demon, facing so many rebels, the only thing he could do was to shrink his defense line and place himself under the protection of the army.

It seems that there will be no plans to expand outward within the next few hundred years.

But if it is Mo Hao who is facing this kind of thing, then things will undoubtedly become very simple.

His approach can be summed up in one word: kill!

If anyone in any territory dares to pull out the flag that symbolizes his authority, in addition to killing the leader of the rebellion, he must also kill at least half of the demons in the territory.

As for some smarter ones, although they did not pull down the flags immediately, they pretended to obey the orders issued by Mo Hao and even dared to delay.

Then the local lord will have no choice but to die, and then Mo Hao will appoint a demon that he likes to be the new lord.

There were some people who didn't believe in it. As soon as Mo Hao left, someone pulled down the flag. But this was definitely not a good thing for them.

Mo Hao had anticipated this kind of thing, so he didn't feel angry or anything like that.

After all, expecting a demon to be loyal is a joke in itself.

His way of dealing with it was also very simple, which was to return to that area, continue to slaughter more than half of the local demons, and then designate another demon as the lord before leaving.

If the designated lord continued to pull up the flag, it would only take Mo Hao one trip back.

If it doesn’t work once, try it twice. If it doesn’t work twice, try it three times. If it doesn’t work three times, try it four times.

Generally speaking, it will not happen a fifth time, not because the demons have turned over a new leaf, but because Mo Hao has already cleared all the demons in the current area.

Without demons, there would be no rebellion.

If the number of demons in the 589th layer of the abyss was not enough to meet Mo Hao's battlefield needs, and if many demons had not the courage to fight back after being killed by Mo Hao, and were slaughtered like chickens, he would not mind killing all the demons in this layer of the abyss to complete the [Medicine Lead].

After killing many demons, they began to feel afraid and started to be terrified of Mo Hao, a human.

Although demons are feared in the main material plane, they will cause disasters once they appear. They are violent, cruel, and vicious.

But when faced with Mo Hao, who slaughtered them like killing chickens and had already started piling up the heads of the demons, even the demons would begin to be afraid and fearful.

In the face of more brutal and ferocious violence, demons are no different from humans. After all, the former are the life forms born from the dark side of intelligent creatures gathered in the abyss.

The new lord regarded the flag with the word "Mo" on it as the most important thing in the entire territory. He even arranged for people to stand guard next to the flag, for fear that someone would touch the flag and be considered a rebel by Mo Hao, thus being massacred a second time.

As for the Jingguan built with countless demon heads, in the eyes of the demons it was a building for Mo Hao to boast about his cruelty and viciousness, and was also regarded as a physical object left behind as a warning.

What's worse, some people regard Jingguan as some kind of curse. Whenever they see this building made up of countless demon heads, they can't help but feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.

The brutal massacre brought complete peace to Mo Hao's rear, but it was unknown how long this peace could last.

But Mo Hao doesn't care. As long as there are people who rebel, Mo Hao will clear out the entire area.

There is never a shortage of demons who want to become lords in the abyss.

But this was not without disadvantages. The massacre in the rear weakened the army's troop replenishment to a certain extent.

Even with the blessing of Mo Hao's halo, the battle in the front was not completely without losses. The inability to replenish the troops in the rear also caused the battle situation to become stalemate.

At the same time, Mo Hao also got a message from the rebellious demon that other great demons had formed an alliance and planned to gather forces to break through Mo Hao's rear, and finally attack Mo Hao from both sides to kill him on the battlefield. This message was naturally not said by the rebellious demon on his own initiative, but that demon was unlucky and was found by Mo Hao in the end.

Out of some kind of boredom, or perhaps with the idea of ​​finally cleaning the house to the last step, the rebellious demon did not get a quick death.

Mo Hao tried many torture methods on the demon, so that when the demon's head was chopped off, it still let out a heart-wrenching scream, and was placed at the top of the Jingguan.

"It's a good thing that the other great demons in the 589th layer of the abyss have formed an alliance."

It is indeed a good thing. It means that as long as Mo Hao can defeat the Great Demon Alliance, the 589th level of the abyss will be in his pocket.

The kind that definitely won't have any naysayers.

And now, Mo Hao only has one thing left to achieve this goal.

Completely defeat the Great Demon Alliance and kill all these rebels.

Thinking of this, Mo Hao directly handed over the command of the army to a demon commander.

He was the first demon in Markas to surrender to Mo Hao. At the same time, he was also one of the few demons who could form a formation among the demons.

After handing over the command, Mo Hao did not look at the Demon Commander whose eyes were as bright as light bulbs, and his figure disappeared directly into the air.

Looking at the [Mo] flag in his hand that represented Mo Hao's authority, the Demon Commander swung his whip and severely whipped a demon who stood too far back.

"Attack. Within three days, I will dedicate this place to the great master!!!"

This demon commander knew very well that once things were done well, he would become someone Mo Hao trusted, or even his confidant.

Demons also pursue power, or in other words, as the embodiment of the dark side of intelligent creatures, the desires that intelligent creatures should have are directly manifested in them in several or dozens of times the form.

For the sake of his own status, the commander-in-chief only thought about how to win and fight beautifully.

……

On the other side, the great demons gathered their forces and were planning to raid Mo Hao's rear, and the first target was Marcus.

Mo Hao first appeared in Markas, and most of his troops were transferred from Markas. It can be said that the defense strength of this place is the lowest.

Just when the demon army was about to approach Markas, a human suddenly appeared in front of the army and blocked their way.

Mo Hao smiled as he looked at the leading demons, including the Berserker, the Giant Skull, the Soul Reaper, and even the leader was a Balrog.

"Sorry, this road is blocked."

In response to Mo Hao's words, hundreds of arrows shot by the Arrow Demon blocked all evasive routes.

The arrows shot by the arrow demon can penetrate even armor made of mithril. As the leader, the Balor Fire Demon looked at Mo Hao who was drowned by the rain of arrows, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

He actually died at the hands of the arrow demon like this. Markas's master was no better than him.

But in the next moment, Balor felt a chill all over his body, a chill that even the flames on his body could not dispel.

At the same time, a strange voice sounded behind him, "Have you seen my crown?"

Turning his head, he saw the big demon's face facing him.
