Soren was gradually unleashing the demons' potential for war.
Demons from almost all of the Abyss's first twenty layers were answering the call of the blood war, so reinforcements arrived very quickly. Under the Abyss's rules, if a relatively powerful mid-to-high-tier demon gathered a group of low-tier demons in the wilderness and brought them into the blood war, that demon automatically gained the status of a minor leader.

Demons had very little productive capacity.
