Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Emperor and the Demon

"Wait, this is it!?"

Alyssa exclaimed as she watched Miss Killer's fingertips follow the roughly drawn route of the map. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's wrong?" Sun Wufan asked.

"I haven't walked this path, but the place halfway is close to the 'Emperor Demon''s sphere of influence!"

"Emperor Demon!?" Avril's eyes widened, "Isn't that the strongest group of thieves!?, their composition and even the rules of their activities are a mystery, how do you know!?"

"This ......" Alyssa hesitated slightly, but still said, "Actually, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, we have to hand over the ...... to worship."

It is said to be an offering, but it is not necessarily up to them to decide what it is.

The "Emperor Demon" is a force that the empire and even the mercenary union have severely cracked down, but its members not only come and go like the wind, but their strength is also extraordinary. Especially the empire, which has sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times in vain, and does not even know where their base camp is, only that they can be seen in the entire province. Nowadays, even a little bit of intelligence can get a big bounty in the Empire. Alyssa knows the so-called sphere of influence of the Emperor Demon, so she doesn't know if she understands the empire.

"It's a sphere of influence, but we've been robbed there many times. But for the sake of reputation, none of us announced it. Some goods are more special, we are ready to money, and we will send them directly to avoid unnecessary losses. ”

Whether this is the case or not, then no one knows. But Alyssa dared to say it, it was impossible to collude with the emperor. After all, they are in business, and the loss of goods is sometimes not just about money, but even reputation. Not only the emperor demon, but also some difficult and famous robbers, but also took the initiative to offer money to buy the road.

"Miss Alyssa, what do you mean by sphere of influence? doesn't it mean that the Emperor Demon does not have a fixed range of activities?" the princess asked, no matter how she said that she was also the princess of the empire, and this was the territory of the empire.

Alyssa glanced at the princess seriously, although it was impossible for the princess's identity to be hidden from their big forces, but she did not investigate, but was kept in the dark.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that every time we big chambers of commerce enter a certain area, they come to the door and ask for protection money. Over time, an area was counted, presumably close to their headquarters. ”

"Is the Emperor's headquarters in this area!?" the princess stared at the map with wide eyes, and leaned close to the Elven Forest. No wonder it is so difficult to exterminate, with their strength to hide inside, it is really difficult for the army to pursue in the forest.

"Miss Alyssa, why don't you tell the empire this information?" the princess thought for a moment, as if no one in the empire had ever said anything like this, and she hadn't seen any targeted big moves, so she probably didn't know.

"Hehe......" Alyssa shook her head: "The empire's previous encirclement and suppression have not achieved any results, and we really dare not risk saying it." Moreover, the existence of the Emperor Demon is not necessarily a bad thing for us. ”

Alyssa paused and continued: "Although our power is quite large from the perspective of ordinary people, in the face of outlaws, even if there is only one of them, they dare to take a bite. No matter how well we take precautions, once we encounter such people, it is inevitable that there will be casualties. For us, the casualties and losses of both our own men and mercenaries are far greater than the loss of money. ”

Hearing this, Avril also nodded: "That's right, I heard that when a big chamber of commerce like Moonspot faces casualties, even if it is just a hired mercenary, it will pay a settlement fee!"

"That's right, although some people always say that we are profiteers, but my father once said that human life is more important than everything. It is because of this that there are people who are willing to give their hearts and minds for us. Sometimes, it's better when money solves the problem. It's not suitable for me, but the price of the Emperor Demon is reasonable. Once they're gone, it's not a good thing for us to illegally bring them into the era of the demons. Like now, paying some protection money to the Emperor Demon can basically be unimpeded in the illegal zone. Otherwise, as I said just now, if anyone comes and takes a bite, whether it is the loss of personnel or the loss of goods, we can't afford it!"

"I see...... Avril let out a long breath and explained to Ye Xiang, who still didn't understand: "For Miss Alyssa, now as long as you pay money to the Emperor Demon, you can fight the sign of the God Demon in the illegal zone, and the other robbers don't dare to come over again when they see it." But once the emperor demon is gone, the protection fee to be paid is not just this one, but many. Even if there is only one point at a time, it is unacceptable for the large chamber of commerce to have too many numbers. If it resists, the losses are equally significant. ”

"Uh...... I know that the world is not safe, but it seems that the existence of the Emperor Demon is better?" Ye Xiang scratched his cheeks, feeling a little unacceptable.

Avril shook her head: "No, this situation is only limited to the Great Chamber of Commerce and powerful mercenary groups. Because the strength of both sides is very strong, both sides will suffer great losses in the conflict, so there will be such mutually beneficial rules. If it's a small and medium-sized chamber of commerce and a mercenary group, once the protection fee paid is not enough, it will be the same as you saw before. ”

The so-called incident was Miss Killer before, but at this time, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it, so as not to be embarrassed.

"Especially in the small chamber of commerce, an existence like the Emperor Demon is probably directly killed. Their existence cannot be said to be reasonable, and every time they cause bloodshed, they don't know how many families have been destroyed, and it is really an unforgivable crime!" Avril continued.

"Then will we be in danger this time?" Miss Killer raised her hand tremblingly, as if she had only heard about it before, and now she only knew about the cruelty of the Emperor Demon.

Forehead......

Avril looked at her in embarrassment, and to be honest, although she believed that Sun Wufan said that Miss Killer was hiding her strength, it seemed that it was really difficult to confirm whether there was anything unspeakable in the absence of evidence.

At this time, Sun Wufan's hearty laughter came from his ears: "Hahaha, what are you afraid of." Isn't it just right to eliminate harm for the people?"

That's right!

Avril suddenly realized, they have nothing to be afraid of! It's just that Sun Wufan doesn't look like his predecessors at all, and he looks too young, so they always realize it in hindsight - there is a saint level here, they don't need to be afraid of anyone. And whether it is the silver-haired maid or Ye Xiang, the strength is very strong.

Seeing Avril's mood change, Alyssa and the others also temporarily put their minds at ease. They have seen Sun Wufan's strength, so they really don't have to worry too much. They are not a big force now, and they don't have to worry about touching the big army of God and Demon when they take the small road, and the rest believe that the Earth Mercenary Group can solve it.

After (Sun Wufan) decided, everyone began to march, but without even the knowledge of Miss Killer, the Emperor Demon attracted a special guest.

Aros, that is, the one who wants to seek revenge on Sun Wufan and others because the giant mercenary group was destroyed. In fact, he disappeared after Palu led the entire branch to find trouble in vain, and even his team is now looking for him all over the world.

At this moment, he was on a hill in Alyssa's so-called Emperor Demon sphere of influence, and a special signal flare had been sent out before, waiting for the arrival of the "master".

"Hmph! I thought it was someone, just a little cub?"

A hoarse voice sounded, and when he looked back, he saw a middle-aged man with a slanted cross scar covering his entire face with three subordinates.

It turned out to be!?

Seeing that Rao was taking the lead, Aros, who was bent on revenge, couldn't help but gasp. Although it's the person he wants to see, it's true, but I really didn't expect it to be him coming in person, what kind of wind is blowing today!?

"Hahahaha, do you see it, this kid is scared when he sees the boss!!"

Hahahaha!!

Being teased, which Eros had long anticipated, was nothing. After all, it is not surprising that he came alone and was killed, the two sides are nominally incompatible!

Of course, the fact that he was able to find the emperor and demon was not to say collusion. In fact, large mercenary groups, like chambers of commerce, also pay tolls when they cross the road. Although it is possible for a small group of teams between the two sides to fight to the death, most of the time when a large group of troops meets, it is safe and sound, and the reason is because of this toll. However, the amount of this toll is not necessarily, depending on the configuration of both parties at the time.

It's just that the so-called toll is not necessarily money, unlike the Chamber of Commerce, what the Emperor Demon asks for from the mercenary group is generally equipment and medicine, after all, they can't buy it with a swagger. At that time, during the escort, the mercenaries' equipment was one of the best, not to mention the best, but could that kind of equipment be given away casually?

Over time, it became possible that when the mercenary group was preparing for an important mission, it would prepare the appropriate equipment and medicine in advance and pay the toll to the emperor. Just like Eros is doing now, notify the Emperor with a flare, and then the two sides will deliver the goods here.

I don't know how the other two ninth-level mercenary groups did it, but the Eagle Feather Dragon did form such a relationship with the Emperor Demon. It can't be said to be mutually beneficial, but at least both sides can avoid big losses, otherwise they are similar in strength, and their activity areas overlap each other, and it will be unbearable for both sides to fight every time.

And unlike the emperor demons who continue to absorb wanted criminals from various countries and outlaws from all over the world after becoming famous, it is not easy for Eagle Feather Dragon to train qualified mercenaries, and it is undoubtedly better than anything else to avoid casualties and successfully complete the mission.

"And then, boy, I didn't see the goods!" said the Emperor Demon Boss coldly.

"No, I want to do a business with you this time!!"

"Oh?" the corners of the Emperor Demon Boss's mouth rose: "Do your adults know?"

"This is my opinion, but my master ...... Huh!?"

Before he finished speaking, a cold momentum on the opposite side pressed over.

"Wait ......" Holding back the feeling of vomiting blood, Eros half-knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your niece is on the way here!!"

“!?”
