With the Abyssal Hatchery being activated. Caelan could already formally recruit soldiers.
All the Abyssal Troop Types could be recruited directly, only the resources needed to recruit many special Troop Types were not available to Caelan.
But no matter what, It was enough that the black tentacles covering the Abyssal Hatchery had withdrawn.
No hesitation, Caelan directly exchanged all of his remaining resource points at Arcane Treasure Exchange for Soul Stones and Flesh.
Since all the Level-0, Level-1, and Level-2 troops in the Abyssal Hatchery can be recruited with only Souls and Flesh, then Caelan doesn't need to exchange resource points for other supplies in the early stage.
Looking around at the dried-up land in the Dark Abyss, Caelan thought that there were no resources nearby to gather, and decided not to spare any effort to explore.
Generally speaking, most lords needed to put a large portion of their effort into exploring the surrounding lands after establishing their own territory.
One was to ensure the safety of their own territories and to expel possible wild beasts, hostile forces, and other special circumstances.
Secondly, once these lords have found a suitable environment around them, they will soon choose to set up a "Dependent Territory" in the corresponding location to speed up their development as much as possible.
But Caelan didn't have to worry about these problems at all, after all, The Dark Abyss had long since withered and died, and there was no so-called enemy within it that could attack Caelan's territory.
Therefore, Caelan's territory which was located in the Dark Abyss could be said to be absolutely safe.
And the only problem he had to worry about was how to attack!
==
"The Dark Abyss is resource-poor, and if I am to continue to develop, I must go to the Eternal Continent."
"But before that, I need to summon a few basic soldiers to see their attributes."
Caelan walked into the Abyssal Hatcher, and the information about this building appeared.
[BUILDING INFO]
Name Abyssal Hatchery Level Level-1 Belongs Demon Race … … Description It can hatch ten demon cocoons. (quantity increases with building level)
Caelan directly threw the predetermined amount of Soul Stones and Flesh into the Abyssal Hatcher.
With a squirming of the Hatchery, ten cocoons of different colors, only waist-high to an adult, appeared in front of Caelan.
On top of their shells, they were engraved with all sorts of bizarre patterns, some resembling ghost faces, others special symbols, each different from the other.
But the only thing that was the same was that these symbols and patterns would instinctively feel ominous to any creature with enough sense and emotion.
30 seconds, the Abyssal Hatcher indicates the time required for these cocoons to hatch.
Among all races' Level-0 Troop Types, this is also a very fast hatching speed.
"Zee!" "Yah!"
Once the 30 seconds were up, these cocoons directly broke open.
One after another ugly Lesser Demon with feathered wings and a child-sized body appeared in front of Caelan.
[TROOP INFO]

Name Lesser Demon Level Level-0 Belongs Demon Race Alignment Chaotic, Evil Abilities Mining, carrying, felling, etc. … … Description The cannon fodder of cannon fodder in the Dark Abyss, with great adaptability, you can use them as much as you want, and remember, use! Because whether you let them work as miners, as slaves, as test subjects, or even eat them outright, it's a good ending for their awful, evil souls.
As soon as these lesser demons opened their eyes, they revealed absolute evil and greed, scanning everything around them non-stop with those eyes tinged with malice.
Even Caelan itself!
Although they were lesser, they were indeed demons.
They were naturally filled with the evil and chaos that demons should possess.
However, when they sensed the Lord's aura emanating from Caelan as well as the invisible fluctuations emanating from the Abyssal Throne underneath him, this kind of malice and greed immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Eh?"
However, after these 10 Lesser Demons actually hatched out, Caelan couldn't help but frown.
"What's this, why is it that none of them have the same attributes?"
There are Lesser Demons with 5 Strength, while there are Lesser Demons with only 2. Some Lesser Demons have an Intelligence as high as 6, while others have a pathetic 1.
He is very confused about this situation in which the attributes of the same Troop Type were different.
As a matter of fact, the Troop Types recruited in a territory basically had fixed attributes.
However, the Lesser Demons that Caelan summoned this time did not have any fixed attributes at all!
Unbelieving Caelan, he threw Soul Stones and Flesh again and summoned 10 new Lesser Demons as well as 10 Level-1 Native Demons.
As expected, this time Caelan's newly summoned Lesser Demon's attributes were still completely chaotic.
Not just the Lesser Demon, but even those Native Demons!
"Complete chaos in attributes?"
"No, it's not just attributes."
"It's the entire Dark Abyss that's so chaotic."
Caelan looked at these Demons and gradually understood some rules of the Dark Abyss.
The chaos of the Dark Abyss was not only manifested in the environment and rules, the living beings, and even everything within it, would receive the effects of absolute chaos.
Having figured this out, Caelan stopped delving into it.
He wasn't a scholar, there was no need to understand this Dark Abyss so well.
The only thing he needs to utilize is the Dark Abyss!
However, just as Caelan was preparing to hatch demons on a large scale and send them into the Eternal Continent, an accident happened again.
【All demon soldiers must be organized into units and commanded by a leader. 】
(Note: As you currently lack a commander, you will need to personally handle the unit formations and command.)
Caelan shook his head and smiled.
"Okay, it looks like I have to do it." Soon, Caelan was thinking hard about how to format these demon soldiers and make plans to explore the Eternal Continent.
Suddenly, he realized that there were only 8 Lesser Demons left from the first batch he had summoned earlier!
2 of the Lesser Demon disappeared into thin air!
And when the puzzled Caelan locked his viewpoint within the territory onto the batch of Lesser Demons, a shocking scene appeared in his eyes.
The 8 remaining Lesser Demons were tearing into the corpses of the other 2 Lesser Demons.
They were cheering and enjoying their first meal since they were born!
They were incredibly happy, incredibly happy that they were the ones that survived.
They didn't care at all that they were devouring none other than their own kind.
The only thing they knew was that they were hungry and desperately needed to be satisfied!
And after the corpses of these two Lesser Demons were eaten up, the rest of them were not satisfied at all.
Though no longer hungry, they would always thirst for more.
Thus, they once again set their sights on their kind.
This time, the first batch of Lesser Demons summoned, there were only 7 left...
Greedy, Evil, Hungry, and Never Satisfied.
They who possess all the above crimes are the creatures nurtured by the Dark Abyss.
It's in their nature!
The Lesser Demons were not the only ones who were performing the big scene of killing each other in front of Caelan.
Not far away, those Native Demons were similarly killing and devouring each other.
The Native Demons had torn apart one of its companions with its tentacles and devoured it. Even more terrifyingly, Native Demons, who are more powerful than Lesser Demons, wanted to eat not only their kind.
Lesser Demon, the recognized cannon fodder of The Dark Abyss was also on their recipes!
"Ow!"
"Ow!"
With a loud scream, the first batch of Native Demons began to look for "suitable" Lesser Demons to satisfy their appetite.
Before the second batch of Lesser Demons could even devour each other like the first batch, they were turned into food for those Native Demons!
Flesh was torn off and blood was consumed.
A Lesser Demon screamed miserably as it was grabbed by a Native Demon, and pressed to the ground with a grip.
Compared to Lesser Demons, Native Demons not only had advantages in body size but also in strength.
No matter how much it tried to eliminate the confinement, it was all in vain. Its gradually dimming eyes were filled with unwillingness and pain.
However, all of this was a supreme enjoyment for the Native Demon.
Because the Demon Race was a bit different from other races.
Their purpose in hunting was not just to fill their stomachs.
The true purpose was to spread pain, to destroy everything they could, and to taste the taste of fear in the eyes of other beings!
They are born perverts and madmen!
