The 422nd floor of the bottomless abyss, the dark prairie.
The king of the gnolls - Yeenoghu occupied this place and built the city of Yeenoghu here.
The structure, the size of a human city, rests on huge rocky rollers, which allow it to travel across the plane, pulled by thousands of slaves plundered from the Material Plane and other planes. Down. According to a rough estimate, the palace tours the realm's three permanent campsites each year in a counterclockwise direction, stopping near the colossal body of the dormant Obiris demon lord Bechard so that Yeno Gu had telepathic discussions with him, and eventually replenished at the assembly gate to replace the overworked slaves who died of dragging the capital of this layer, and most of the dead slaves became the rations of the gnolls.
The entire city of Yeenoghu will move in a counterclockwise direction.
However, this city is the palace of the King of Gnolls. In addition, there are three permanent campsites at this level. This is where a large number of slaves and Gnolls are kept in captivity.
"Owner!"
A tall succubus maid descended from the sky and whispered to Sauron: "The king of gnolls—Yenoghu has moved his city to near the end of Bachard, where a large number of gnolls and slave legions have gathered. It seems that they want to fight us there."
Bachard's End.
Sauron couldn't help but change slightly when he heard this place name.
Because this is the corpse of an extremely ancient Orbis demon lord, this huge corpse is still exposed at this level, as if the corpse of a giant whale was stranded on a beach.
"Yenogu probably wants to use Bachard's power to deal with us."
The figure of the succubus queen—Mecanxiet appeared, frowning: "The rise of Yeenoghu is inseparable from this ancient Orbis demon. He is wary of anyone who approaches Bachard. The Storm Lord had very terrifying power during his lifetime." , even after death, his power has completely changed the structure of this plane."
Sauron was silent.
Of course he knew about the ancient Orbis demon lord, but this was not a reason to back down. He looked at the Succubus Queen and said in a deep voice, "One person is in charge of a permanent camp, and finally gathers an army to attack the end of Bachard."
This level has a lot of territory.
Nearby Yeenoghu followers and other dangerous predators infest the Oozing Forest, while ravenous undead of Dorisan, Lord of the Ghouls, breed in the Howling Peaks.
Although Dorison, the king of ghouls, has fallen, Yeenoghu still controls the huge army of ghouls.
He has been squeezing Dorison's surplus value for thousands of years. At this level, he has kept tens of thousands of ghouls in captivity to help him guard slaves of other races.
The dark prairie.
In this vast territory, there are countless wild gnolls, hyenas that eat carrion, and many violent beasts.
There are several important locations on this level.
They are - Bachard's End, Azar's Ruins, Howling Peaks, Oozing Forest, Gathering Gate, and the Throat of the Damned.
Yeenoghu, the king of gnolls, is now at Bachard's End.
But before that, Sauron had to destroy the other camps first, because if he directly attacked the city of Yeenoghu, he might be flanked by the enemy. There are huge slave markets in these places, and Yeenogu can always think of ways to capture slaves from other planes.
soon.
The Succubus Queen and the King of the Tauren chose a location to attack, and apart from the city of Yeenoghu, there was only one place left.
That is the [Gate of Gathering].
The heavily guarded place on this level is also Yeenoghu's most important stronghold.
…
The Rally Gate is a giant circular portal.
It can allow two-way access to multiple main material plane worlds known by Yeenoghu, not only the material plane where Sauron's body is located, but also the origin of orcs, and other material planes, such as [Maduncan ] hometown. This is a giant portal that has been built with countless energy and wealth, and it has preserved many important space landmarks. And the wolves belonging to Yeenoghu's evil church will transport slaves to Yeenoghu's domain through the portal. Here, these slaves either join the wretches who are forced to drag down their lord's magnificent fortress, or, more unfortunate, are thrown into the wilderness to be food for those diabolical beasts.
Gnolls are a multidimensional spawn.
As the master of this race, Yeenogu can lock multiple planes through believers, which is one of his advantages.
The gates of massing hold a large number of troops.
But obviously the main force of the core has been mobilized to the end of Bachard, and Yeenoghu hopes to fight them to the death there!
Sauron's legions took it easily.
And the price he paid was only the death of about 30,000 low-level demons. For Sauron, who now controls multiple levels of the bottomless abyss, the sacrifice of tens of thousands of low-level demons is completely without blinking an eye. Because every day his demon army is replenishing tens of thousands of troops.
Sauron could raise an army of millions of demons in an instant if he wished.
but.
These low-level demons can only be used as cannon fodder, which is not very useful, and it is not worthwhile to take them across planes.
"Is this the door to the assembly?"
Sauron came to this huge circular portal, and he felt the breath of space. This portal existed before Yeenoghu became a demon lord. According to his judgment, it should be the older Orbis demons. Established.
At that time, the powerful Orbis demon was very fond of invading other planes.
There are more than ten plane beacons in the entire portal.
Three of them are connected to the material plane, namely the main material plane, the origin of the orc gate, and the old home of Mordenkain. Mordencan is a legendary wizard who likes to wander very much. The spells created by him spread in many planes. This is a wizard who can rival the gods, although no one knows where he is wandering in the multiverse.
Sauron let the demon army occupy here.
After that, he recorded the space beacon of this ancient portal. There are more than 30 planes connected here and there. Except for the upper plane, which cannot be reached, it includes almost all the lower planes and many astral planes. and the material plane.
Such a portal Yeenoghu cannot be established.
He just used this ancient portal to help him plunder slaves from other planes, which is why Yeenoghu has a huge number of human slaves.
"Any other material planes?"
Sauron stared at the huge portal in front of him, and murmured, "Maybe it will be useful in the future."
Spreading faith across planes is not easy.
Because it is extremely easy to arouse the hostility of other gods, the Spider God Queen is a successful cross-plane belief spreader, but this is only because she belongs to the race gods, as long as there is a plane of drow, she has her beliefs.
This is difficult for other gods to replicate.
The cross-plane of the gods often leads to terrible wars, such as the fall of the Mohammed pantheon, the Battle of the Orc Gate, the destruction of the Irmat Empire, and so on.
but.
It is not impossible for Sauron to do this, because he is the Lord of Death, and it is not difficult to spread the faith to other planes if he spends more energy.
After all, the soul will return to the Styx.
