Ever since he had sold the intelligence.
Charles had felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
He could sense that the devils were preparing to make a move against him.
Once they made up their minds, war could break out at any moment.
Charles thought, Would it be an all-out war, or a decapitation strike led by powerful experts?
"Judging by the devils' nature, they excel at legion warfare. They probably would not choose a combat method like a decapitation strike."
That was entirely different from the demons' nature.
Demons favored decapitation strikes, because legions were basically of little use to them.
Though legions were vast in number, they played only a minor role on battlefields against powerful opponents.
Devil legions, on the other hand, were highly useful and could provide even Grand Devils with a certain degree of support.
Charles pondered, The power of authority is currently amplifying me. I should expand my advantage.
"Since the devils want to fight, then let's fight!"
Having made up his mind, Charles no longer hesitated.
What he needed to do now was expand his advantage and continue enlarging his territory.
The authority of the Abyss World was like a double-edged sword.
The more authority one controlled, the more power one gained—and the harder it would become to leave the Abyss World in the future.
The Abyss World had never been a kind place.
At present, no demon lord could expand their sphere of influence to contend for authority.
After making his decision, Charles left only one Grand Demon behind at Millstone Fortress.
This Grand Demon would serve as a guard. Should Kolsama or Anog fly over without any regard for the rules of war.
He would be responsible for notifying Charles to return immediately.
Afterward, Charles directly raised his wizard tower.
