The soul of Hogg Bale eventually lost to the hell Messengers. He was knocked down by several hell Messengers, and then he was tied up like a rice dumpling. They raised his arms and legs and moved him away.
They smiled happily and were filled with a sense of accomplishment.
hell hadn't caught a demigod villain like Hogg for many years. On the one hand, demigods were immortal, and they never got sick. Unless they were killed, they were unlikely to die. On the other hand, even if they were dead, their souls would have enough power to support them until their saviors arrived.
As for the saviors, naturally, they were the different gods.
If demigods wanted to offer their services, a lot of gods would be willing to protect them, especially since those evil gods didn't care whether the faith fit or not. It was worthy of offending hell to fight for such subordinates.
In any case, they had already seriously offended hell because they had been sheltering villains for years.
So over the years, when the evil demigods had died, the hell Messengers usually had no time to arrive there. Or, they had arrived there, but they had failed to take the souls. In the end, the souls had almost all been picked up by different gods.
hell was naturally very dissatisfied with this. If the hell Kings used black notebooks to record things, then countless sins of the evil gods would be recorded in the notebooks. However, the soul and the flesh of a god were one whole. Even if the gods were killed, they would either fall or be resurrected. It was impossible for only their souls to be arrested and judged.
Just like the last time, Sui Xiong had killed over 100 evil gods. As a result, these guys had all fallen. No one had souls left to be punished by hell.
The hell Kings had lived for a long time. They didn't care too much about such things. However, these hell Messengers were still relatively young. They still cared about that.
They couldn't catch those sinful evil gods, but they could catch a sinful, evil demigod. It helped them vent their anger.
More importantly, Hogg's soul was defeated and captured by them. Sui Xiong just killed this guy, but he did not help when the hell Messengers arrested Hogg's soul. It meant that this credit was completely due to the hell Messengers, and that made it more valuable.
The most important "big fish" today was Hogg. There were no special aristocrats who were judged and beheaded, so Emperor Junero, who was secretly concerned about the guillotine, was quietly relieved.
As for Hogg, Junero never felt that this guy was important. The Orcs didn't need boors and savages anymore. They needed wise and clear-minded people.
For example, the famous Wilder family of the fox men was known for their sages. After knowing that Sui Xiong wanted to annihilate Isis, Junero had first sent people to find the patriarch of the Wilder family. The patriarch would bring together the relatively important figures in the family who were related to the organization. He had personally cast spells to escort this group of people to a safe and reliable place.
He had also hidden some other people with those fox men. He thought those people were important to the Empire, so he couldn't lose them.
He believed that even though the Void Mask was powerful, Sui Xiong still wouldn't be able to find the people he had hidden.
As for the rest, like Hogg Bale, he could afford such losses. He didn't care.
A demigod seemed to be very important and powerful. However, there was little need for such a strong person to come out in the wars on the Main Plane. As for the wars outside the Main Plane, there were a lot of Orc gods. They could send a true god. Who cared about a demigod?
The most important thing was that Junero didn't like Hogg.
The Orc gods didn't like him, either.
He had made a contribution to the Orc Empire and had bled for the Orc gods, but he had also made many mistakes. The biggest mistake was that he had jumped out to fight for the emperor's seat without the permission of the Orc gods.
The emperor of the Orc Empire was the most important subordinate of the Orc gods. He was the highest commander of the Orcs and could represent the Orc gods to command the Orcs. This position should of course be designated by the Orc gods. The Orcs shouldn't fight for it by themselves.
Just like in Curse of the Golden Flower, the emperor had a famous line: "What I give you is yours. You can't grab what I don't give you."
Hogg had violated this taboo. Therefore, no matter what he had done afterwards, it couldn't offset that mistake. In the hearts of the Orc gods, his name had long been blacklisted.
Otherwise, the Orc gods would have at least taken him to their God's Kingdom before Sui Xiong had executed him.
Even though Sui Xiong was powerful, it wouldn't be easy for him to grab a person from the Endless Field, the God's Kingdom of the Orc gods.
Of course, Sui Xiong wasn't that powerful, and he didn't need to do that. He had so many people to catch and kill. He couldn't care about the ones who were sent away.
The next morning, the first villain he arrested, tried and executed was another great aristocrat—Burton Tiger, the famous master of the tiger family, the duke of the Orc Empire, the Legendary Master, the "Tiger Who Tears Mountains."
Burton was a distant descendant of Junero, but he didn't respect his ancestors much. Instead, he was ambitious and wanted to replace Junero.
Because of the need to suppress power, Junero had always acted as a weak scholar. As for the secrets of his combat power, only a very small number of people knew about it. Burton was not one of them, and that caused this unscrupulous descendant to have some ambitions that he shouldn't have had. In the past few decades, he had more than once suggested holding a Golden Tent Contest to select outstanding talents so that he could share Junero's cares and burdens.
Even fools knew what he had been thinking.
Sometimes, Junero really wanted to kill this bastard. However, he couldn't do this because it was not convenient to use forces in the Main Plane
Therefore, when he had found that this bastard was actually in the top class of Isis, he had been particularly annoyed.
He was one of the top masters of the tiger family, but he didn't try to compete for the position of the patriarch. Instead, he rushed to stay with some bastards who were thinking about all sorts of terrorist attacks all day long. Did the nutrients he ate all become muscles and so his head was empty?
He had also tried to save this bastard. For example, he had advised him in person directly and hinted at him indirectly, but Burton hadn't been moved at all. He had still persisted in his old ways.
His mind was full of violence and ambition. He believed that as long as he tried hard to strengthen himself and to please the gods, he could do anything in this world.
For ordinary people, nothing was wrong with such an idea. However, for a Legendary Master, such an idea meant that he didn't strive to go further ahead.
What was a Legendary Master? A Legendary Master was a person who had surpassed the limits of mortals and walked the first steps toward the path of immortality to become a god. At this level, how could he use mortal eyes to view things and or mortal ways of thinking to solve problems?
Burton was talented, but his brain was too dull Junero couldn't save a fool.
Therefore, when Junero had learned that the Void Mask wanted to annihilate Isis, he had given up on Burton.
Anyway, Burton didn't have any training prospects. It was better to use his life to shape the positive image of the tiger family. As a royal family, they could share the same pains with people.
Junero was sitting on the throne of the palace, but his eyes couldn't be blocked by the distance and the obstacles on the road. He clearly saw that Burton was caught and fixed to the guillotine, along with some other high-status aristocrats. Finally, the blade fell down and cut off their heads.
Junero nodded slightly and smiled.
"This fool finally played a role!"
