After winning the victory in Huangsha City and getting a lot of help from the dwarves, the Demon King did not continue to attack the orc territory. Instead, he focused his attention on the west, which is adjacent to the Ufa Forest.
The Human Empire, the Liska Empire.
The Ufa Forest can produce a large amount of food, but what the Demon King lacks most now is a population of millions. The Liska Empire is his next target. Of course, if he invades blatantly, it will definitely attract the attention of humans.
, the Demon King does not want to face the joint attack of the Dragon Boat Empire and the Luas Empire now.
But fortunately, someone in the guild now helps him distract his attention. After the destruction of Stone Ancient City, the guild abandoned this place. The death of the leader of the Adventurer Guild, the God of War Anmihu, changed the situation drastically.
The bond is broken, and some powerful empires such as the Dragon Boat Empire, the Luas Empire, and the Snake Ten Thousand Man Empire will begin to compete with each other. They want to take this opportunity to ban the Adventurer's Guild and become the world leader. At this time, if a small country has a political power
The question is, who cares about its life and death?
However, before the Demon King could take action, the Liska Empire itself was already in crisis and chaos. A band of thieves was born from the ruins of Stone. With organization and discipline, they transformed from a band of thieves who robbed merchants into a band of thieves.
A resistance force against the tyranny of the royal power, and this organization is called the Eagle Group.
Nowadays, the situation is in turmoil. Many local nobles and lords are waiting to see the situation. There are also many local organizations that have risen up like the Eagle Group. After King Kallis failed to recruit the Eagle Group, the king actually sent troops to suppress it.
…
In the large bright room, a richly dressed businessman sat behind a large desk. He lowered his head and looked at the white paper in his hand. His eyes were a little blurry. If you look carefully, you can see that his shoulders are hairy.
shake.
Eberron put down the white paper with trembling hands.
He was not the only one in the room, there was also a young man. He was the one who brought this letter. From the servant's mouth, he learned that his name seemed to be Lars. His face was tense, deliberately not letting himself show off.
Revealing his inner feelings, his bright eyes stared straight ahead.
It's crazy to send a young man here.
But Eberron knew that the person who wrote this letter was not crazy. He was very treacherous. He was deceived and did the last thing he should do in his life.
"Please, please let me go. How dare I, a small businessman, fight against the royal family and nobles? How virtuous and capable I am..."
"This is an opportunity given to you by our master. You must think carefully before answering."
At this moment, a figure appeared behind him, right in front of the half-open window. There was darkness outside the window, and there were no stars in the sky.
To be precise, it was not a person, but a monster with black feathers. Others called it a monster. It was said that it was a monster born between humans and demons.
Eberron was startled, and he quickly turned around, but a survival instinct prevented him from raising his head. He could only look at the opponent's feet, trembling.
"My lord! I really beg you, please let me go. Please find someone else. I, a small businessman, cannot fight against the army."
He stood up in great panic, and faced the black window with a very humble posture, bending his waist and facing the weirdo. In the twenty or thirty years since he started business, he had not done this for a long time.
Eberron knew who was the boss here, and the boy he was facing now was just a poor servant who was being taken advantage of.
That's exactly what he thought.
As a big businessman, he has experienced many life and death situations, but this time he was unable to remain calm in the face of danger. The reason why he was so scared was because the person he was negotiating with was not a human being, but a powerful demon who was behind the scenes.
The organization, and its leader, is even more mysterious, and Eberron knows nothing about it.
"Leave the military matters to us, you just need to do what we ask." Killer Liuliu said coldly.
Businessman Eberron showed a troubled expression and said as if he was about to cry: "But, but this... this is really... too risky."
"Unless you want everyone in the world to know that you sold your compatriots to the demons, then there will be no place for you in human territory. Think about it carefully, now you have only two options, either
Join us or become the enemy of the world."
Hearing this, Eberron's heart skipped a beat. If these transactions were exposed, it would definitely cause public outrage. His chamber of commerce would definitely be shut down and all his assets taken away. Although he could find a way to change his identity and continue to live.
, but how could he be willing to give up the life of glory and wealth and the wealth he had worked hard to accumulate for most of his life.
After saying these words, the other party left the room directly with the young man. When the young man left, he closed the door. At the last moment, Eberron saw the distrustful look in the young man's eyes.
He slumped on the chair like a defeated rooster, his face covered with sweat.
"Damn it! If I had known better, I wouldn't have done that kind of business!"
Eberron grabbed his hair and collapsed, but regret was over and he had no way out.
In silence, all the guards in his house were killed. While he was still counting the money, the young man opened the door and came in. After he called the guards three times, he realized that something was wrong.
, when the boy told his origin, Eberron gave up his resistance.
He comes from the Wusen Empire, that mysterious country.
The Demon King sent killer Liuliu, who secretly came to the Liska Empire with a team of humans, shapeshifters, and monsters with obvious characteristics of humans. His first target was the wealthy businessman Eberron.
Lars and Killer Liuliu were walking in the corridor of the mansion. There were countless rooms in the long corridor. A row of lamps on the wall illuminated the entire corridor. You could see the corpses lying on the ground all along the way.
"Why should we look for this kind of person? I don't think even businessmen can trust him."
The boy said as he stepped over the corpse on the ground.
"Probably the master needs their power. As long as there are enough benefits, businessmen are the best people to win over."
Killer Liuliu suddenly looked at the boy, and he saw red blood spilling out of the boy's arm.
"Having said that, I don't know what the master's plans are. Compared with this, I am more concerned about your ability to complete the master's mission."
He suddenly stopped, and Lars also stopped. He lowered his head and covered his wound.
"Since you have chosen this path, I will not treat you as a child. I will not pity you. Don't take chances. If you are in trouble because of your own strength, no one will save you.
You, this is the way of life for us assassins, only the strong can survive."
"Yes, I understand."
Lars frowned and said.
"The next training will be more difficult, so be prepared."
After saying that, Killer Liuliu turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared, leaving only a few black feathers.
