Chapter 573: The New King of Hell In the twenty-five years of the imperial calendar, the imperial army's battle against hell has been basically completed, the first and second layers of hell are completely controlled by the empire, and the remaining layers of hell are too large in area, and in the end the empire can only take the method of governing the natives with the indigenous for temporary control.
The natives of hell naturally only have demons, and among the demons who can reassure the empire, the only one who can reassure the empire is the demon Valak, who has signed a deed of betrayal with Zhao Yannian, who has almost no possibility of betrayal.
This demon has jumped from a thin little demon who eats bed bugs to the king of hell because of Zhao Yannian's relationship, even if there are still many hell lords in hell who are disdainful and hostile to the rule of this king of hell, but with the support of the power of the empire, no one can shake the position of Valak.
However, although Valak's strength is indeed very weak, this little demon is not a complete puppet, after all, Zhao Yannian has no intention of letting the demon join the empire, and the empire does not have much interest in the hell with the harsh natural environment.
There is nothing to be nostalgic for the Empire except for the Mineral Hell, and once the Mineral Resources are exhausted, then the Empire is likely to abandon the Hell completely, and never look at this unsuitable place for human habitation again.
At that time, Valak can become the real Lord of Hell, and Zhao Yannian also clearly told Valak about this possibility.
Wanting to let the horse run, he naturally took out the forage, and after having Zhao Yannian's promise, Valak burst out with great enthusiasm for this position that he thought was just a job before.
With ambition, Warak's command of those demon generals on weekdays is no longer just as a microphone for Zhao Yannian, he also began to try to use his power to subdue those demon generals and make him the real king.
As mentioned before, Valak's intelligence talent is much higher than that of other demons, and it can even be said that he is the first high-intelligence demon to evolve in Hell.
In the absence of strength, if Valak wants to be able to grasp his position, then he needs to use all the resources he can use, and his wisdom is his only reliable reliance, if he does not use it, then Valak is also sorry for Zhao Yannian's cultivation and expectations.
After getting a lot of books about management and imperial science from Zhao Yannian, the little devil devoted all his spare time to studying, Valak's absorption of knowledge was unusually fast, and with the bad nature of the devil, what he learned from these books was very insidious and vicious.
Management is essentially about how to squeeze a bunch of unlucky people in the most efficient way, while imperialism is essentially about taking away and giving rights, and then using those rights to make others work for themselves.
The most important thing to implement these two kinds of knowledge is to be ruthless and shameless, and although Valak has not really practiced it, he has watched and personally participated in the battles of other little demons for hundreds of years, so he has long been familiar with this set of skills.
And now that he has theoretical guidance and a practical foundation, the process of putting these things into practice is quite smooth.
The demons of Hell are actually a simple and crude race, and their violence factor makes scheming occupy a very small proportion of their minds, but this does not mean that scheming is ineffective against demons, in fact, Valak's scheming is not only effective, but very effective.
After being self-taught, Warak handed over his plan to Zhao Yannian to watch, and after Zhao Yannian saw it, he praised the little devil fiercely, and the little devil began to verify his plan with confidence.
Wallak's plan was actually quite simple, all he had to do was to establish a whole new class system in Hell.
While the system was still based on strength, Warak's system narrowed down the class divisions and made the infighting between demons more ferocious.
According to strength, starting with the Great Demon, the demon can get the title of Baron, and then as his strength increases, the title of the demon will continue to increase until he reaches the Duke.
The Demon Duke is actually a demon general equivalent to a demigod, and the subdivision of each level makes it much less likely for the lower-level demons to challenge the higher-level demons.
At this point, one might wonder why this doesn't seem to be a stoking infighting, but rather a way to reduce the infighting among the demons, when in fact this is where Valak's insidious nature lies.
From the above nobility hierarchy, it seems that there is no problem, but after that, the strict system of power established by Valak for the demons became the source of the demonic struggle.
According to the Hell Code established by Valak, every demon must enjoy his rights strictly in accordance with his title, whether it is a private property or a servant, must be limited to a strict value.
And if once a demon has more property than his status, then the other demons can report to the superior demon, and the reported demon can get one-tenth of the reported demon's property, and the remaining nine-tenths will belong to the superior demon.
The demons who exceed their own titles will naturally be killed, which means that the strongest and most greedy group of demons of the same level will inevitably be eliminated, and there will be no trust between demons, and they will forever indulge in intrigue with their colleagues and never be able to extricate themselves.
As long as the demons are caught in this quagmire of struggle, then no one can really break free, and unless he leaves hell and completely disconnects with the demons, no one will be able to break the rules created by Valak.
And the position of Valak, the king of hell, will not be shaken at that time, because every demon who has benefited from this system is the strongest among the demons, and they will inevitably firmly support Valak's rule in order to ensure their own interests.
Warak's plan can be said to be insidious, but he has to admit that it did work after it was implemented.
In the three years since the twenty-second year of the Imperial calendar, after Levi Anson's whereabouts disappeared, Valak had mastered most of the areas of the Third Hell, and under his control, the demon generals were no longer resistant to Warak's rule.
A less powerful King of Hell seems to be better for the Demon General, and after Levi Ansen escaped, even if the Demon Generals wanted to worship the strong, it seemed that no one in Hell would be able to make them worship him.
Valak's new title system has given great benefits to the demon generals, who are now known as the Dukes of Hell and have become the most powerful lords of the Third Hell.
The fight between the little demons has completely stopped, and the demons who have obtained some low-end technology of the human race have begun to try to establish a new civilization system for themselves.
The harsh laws, and the struggle allowed by the law, the demons put the shackles of order on themselves layer by layer.
While the shackles cost them something, it also gave the demons some other benefits.
The third level of hell, the territory of the Spider Queen, has been living a simple life since the killing of the Lady of the Eternal Night, and in the ensuing twenty years of war, the lady who completely regarded herself as a cave spider was lucky to escape one disaster after another, but when the new King of Hell appeared, the Spider Queen's good fortune came to an end.
Due to Valak's knighthood decree, the demons began to value the relationship between territory and subordinate rule, so the demons began to spontaneously sort out the entire third layer of hell, and tried to kill those fools who refused to obey the orders of the new king of hell in the name of legitimacy.
This behavior has caused a lot of trouble to ill-informed people like Lady Spider, because the lords of several territories around her have long coveted this territory of Lady Spider.
A mighty army of demons is heading for Lady Spider's lair, led by a powerful demon duke.
The reason why the other lords dared to ask a duke to support them was precisely because the implementation of the Hell Code prevented the demon duke from taking all the spoils of war alone, and although doing so would make the profits of the war much smaller, but at the same time, the success rate increased a lot.
"Demon, go back, you've stepped into my territory!"
After feeling the existence of the same level entering her territory, the spider queen finally couldn't bear to rush out of her lair, although she has always maintained a wise attitude of self-preservation, but it does not mean that she will be afraid of others at the same demigod level.
"The messenger sent by the King of Hell to summon you before the Spider Queen was killed by you, and we are now on the orders of the King of Hell to crusade against you, either surrender or die in battle, you choose!"
The Demon General didn't care about this Spider Queen, because he wasn't a third-tier demon, so he didn't know that this Spider Queen had survived several Holy Demon Wars.
"What a bullshit king of hell is just a little demon raised by humans, you bastards still have any self-esteem to obey the orders of such a shit!"
The Spider Queen obviously didn't know about Valak's abilities, so when she heard the name of the Hell King, she immediately cursed angrily, the Spider Queen's bare upper body arched slightly, and her huge furry spider body raised its two sharp forefeet in a fighting stance.

"Looks like you're not going to surrender!
Attack!
The Demon General was enraged by the Spider Queen's arrogant attitude, and then he pounced on the Spider Queen first.
At the same time, the demons he brought with him also rushed to the spider cave, because the angry spider queen had already summoned the large number of spiders she had bred in the cave.
The demon and the spider fought fiercely, and by the time Valak heard the outcome of the war, it was already three days later.
Looking at the beaten demon general, Valak touched his chin and pondered, and finally after thinking for a long time, Valak suddenly remembered the name Spider Queen, as if he had heard his master talk about it.
