550 Blood River Commission

Forbidden Knight Sarinas.

Matthew recognized the leader of the Steel War Carriage Army.

Sarinas was no ordinary figure, as he was the top war general under the Duke of Steel, Necromancer Bain, and one of Bain's most loyal subordinates.

Since Bain himself only liked to prepare for war, not to engage in it,

his prestige, though high, rarely affected many lower-tier or distant demons from Bain's territories.

But Sarinas was different.

As the greatest vassal under Bain's command, Sarinas enjoyed a significant degree of autonomy.

He had his own territory and, unfettered by Bain's personal preferences, so he constantly expanded his domain through aggressive warfare.

Over the past nearly one hundred years,

Sarinas had demonstrated high military acumen and ruthless war tactics, both within purgatory and in expanding into other areas of the astral world.

Other Devil Lords in purgatory also often observed Sarinas' army to gauge Bain's military preparedness.
