Cooperate.

This term seems to have a great appeal to the king of evil spirits. The moment he heard the words come out of Allegri's hand, he immediately suppressed his anger and thought about it sideways, and even a long-lasting smile appeared on his face.

This fresh word evokes countless beautiful memories for him. He was once known as the "God of Souls", but what he was best at was the so-called "cooperation". After the "Clear Spring Council" opened the plane passage of the underworld ten thousand years ago, when the other evil gods were still wandering and probing, the king of evil spirits had already greeted them with a smile and asked them kindly if they wanted to cooperate in order to explore the ultimate mysteries of the world world together.

It was really a perfect "cooperation", and the other party was tricked by him between applause, and he almost fulfilled his wish. Although the final outcome was not so ideal, until his conspiracy was revealed, the cooperation between the two sides was very pleasant.

Now, someone will actually take the initiative to bump into it? Has this world become so beautiful?

"Cooperation, I have always refused it, but you ......" The Demon King's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, he had a conflict with Allegri and the others, and he was still a little wary for a while.

"Your Excellency may not know yet, my territory is on the other side of the swamp, and speaking of which, we are still neighbors," Allegri pointed to the east and introduced with a smile, "Now that there is war and chaos on the mainland, you should know a little about it, right?"

The King of Evil Spirits nodded slightly, and according to the sense between the evil gods, many of his companions, including Shadow and Pale, had regained their active strength, and even regained their powerful power, but only he was still stagnant, which made him a little frustrated.

"Adults are in this competition. Seems to have fallen behind?" Allegri seemed to know what he was thinking, and spoke again, "So I think you might need an ally now." ”

"It seems that you know a lot about us," the King of Evil Spirits looked at him carefully. Finally nodded, "It's not impossible to cooperate, but I must be prophetic, what can you bring me?"

For him, what kind of benefits he can get is definitely the most important.

"It depends on what you want us to do, but for now, it seems that you can at least have a stable border, a new ally, and enough timely intelligence. Allegri smiled softly, his tone indifferent, "And, I think adults may have overlooked a very important point, which is not what we can do for adults, but what we don't do to adults. ”

Behind him, Illo gently tapped the bowstring and smiled.

Mithril's arrows glow with a silver-gray glitter.

The Demon King's face turned ugly. The other party is simply a naked threat. However, before he could figure out what Illo was able to do without being attacked after releasing the "Thorn of Annihilation", he still had a deep fear in his heart. Otherwise, Illo will give him another blow. He could only withdraw from this chess game regretfully without a single son.

Seeing that the King of Evil Spirits no longer spoke, Allegri knew that the time was almost up, and after a slap, he had to be given a sweet date to eat.

"But don't worry, my lord, we're allies. He smiled kindly, "Come to think of it, my lord, if you face other evil gods in the future, we don't mind using the 'Oblivion Thorn' to give him a blow." As an aid to you. ”

The King of Evil Spirits was obviously a little moved when he heard this, and nodded again and again, on the battlefield of the confrontation of evil gods, the "Thorn of Annihilation" was indeed an unprecedented killing weapon. He hesitated and asked, "However, it should be August's descendants who can release the 'Thorn of Oblivion'...... Can he really promise not to hurt me?"

"I don't hurt allies. "Allegri had already instructed Illo to maintain a mysterious and unpredictable demeanor in front of the King of Evil Spirits, so that the other party would not dare to act rashly. So he stood there lazily, with a coquettish expression on his face, and then fell silent again after dropping a sentence lightly.

"That's good, you should know that I don't reject cooperation," the Demon King finally nodded in agreement, "As long as you promise not to hurt me, we have the possibility of negotiating." ”

"Now, then, we can sit down and have a good talk?" Allegri secretly wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.

The peace talks with the Demon King were a decision made by Allegri after a long period of deliberation.

Sitting on the "Flowing Gold Business Road", the income of the mercenary group can be said to be endless, and the money reserve is very sufficient. With such a huge wealth, coupled with the "Path of the Lightwalkers" that connects the north and the south, they were able to buy almost all the goods on the mainland. Under such circumstances, as long as they had the population and land, they could quickly start production, expand their armies, and increase their strength.

And during this period of time, their news spread through various channels almost all over the vast surrounding area. War refugees, wandering mercenary warriors, and down-and-out mages have flocked to the Herseus Valley, providing enough for the population. And in the foreseeable period, the number of people gathered will surely increase.

However, the ensuing land problem gave the mercenary group high-level a headache.

They don't have enough land in their hands to house them, and this has become the biggest constraint on their development. It was not enough to rely on the small valley and the counties around it, and they had to find more land to house and retain the refugees.

It's not easy.

The Herseus River Valley, already the northwesternmost territory of the Duchy of Anlan, was incorporated after the opening of the Path of the Lightseeker. To the north, of course, there is a towering cast iron mountain range. From then on, to the east and southeast, across the mountains is the Green River Valley in the hinterland of Anlan. Therefore, Allegri and they can only turn their eyes to the West.

To the west of the valley are a series of ridges and ridges, interspersed with boulder-bare, barren wastelands that are uninhabited except for a few nomads. This vast barren area, nestled between the Misty Swamps, the Cast Iron Mountains, and the Duchy of Anlan, is a borderless land where no few forces have stepped in. After all, the terrain here is rugged, the soil is shallow, the resources are poor, and there is little value for development.

With its Green River Valley and a large number of river plains, the Duchy of Anlan naturally looked down on it, and since the swamp ogres would often go out to raid it, the Duchy retained its pristine landscape as a buffer zone.

For Allegri, however, it has become an ideal direction for expansion.

"I have no problem with you developing that wasteland," the Demon King said cheerfully, listening to his conversation, "but as compensation, you must promise me a few conditions." ”

The king of evil spirits has no reason to object, the ogre tribe is already poor, and it has become a problem for them to develop the same barren land, even to have a full stomach. The land was of little value to him.

"Your Excellency, you say. Allegri nodded, looking at the other.

"First of all, within ten miles of the edge of the Misty Swamp, my territory is not within the scope of our agreement," the Demon King said in a deep voice, "In addition, you must promise not to actively pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and provide me with the latest information, I need to know the real-time changes in the situation on the continent." ”

"No problem. Allegri nodded, they had agreed in advance.

"Also, I need you to provide some weapons, armor, ordnance, and other goods, and I need to arm my subordinates. The Demon King paused and added.

"This ...... Your Excellency, you also know that these are scarce war resources," Allegri frowned, "and there is a big gap between the size of ogres and humans, and they must be customized, so I'm afraid I can't give you too many of them." ”

"No, it's not giving," interjected the Demon King, who seemed to understand things all at once, "I don't don't understand the difficulty, so I'll offer some Misty Swamp specialties in exchange for these things, what do you think?"

"In that case...... I will do my best to meet the demands of the adults," Allegri readily agreed, after a moment's thought, adding, "but I need some time to prepare, and I suggest that we establish a secret trade route to take care of this matter." ”

"Alright," the King of Demons nodded in satisfaction, "it seems that you are indeed very sincere, and I am ready to wait for you to come again and start trading." ”

"When the time comes, this matter will be supervised and specially handled by Illo," Allegri pointed to the somewhat stunned half-elf behind him, and smiled, "Your Excellency and he should be familiar with each other." ”

"Impressed," the Demon King glanced at the half-elf inexplicably, and turned his head, "Mr. Allegri, then we have settled on it, it seems that you are a very friendly neighbor......" He lowered his voice and said with a little tentativeness, "It's just that Mr. Allegri really trusts an existence like us so much?"

"Even between humans, isn't there a trick?" Allegri smiled and shook his head, "Like the Lord of Shadows and the Lord of Pale, don't they both choose to cooperate with humans, of course you will need an ally, my lord, I'm not worried about that." ”

"That's good. The King of Evil Spirits nodded with satisfaction, this stupid human probably didn't know what to do, and what Shadow and Pale were looking for was never an ally, but a piece of chess that could charge into battle.

themselves, of course.

But since someone took the initiative to send it to the door, he was disrespectful. Although he is not very interested in this magician, the guy next to him who can release the "Thorn of Oblivion" will definitely become a trump card in the confrontation of evil gods.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with. Allegri clapped his hands in satisfaction, looked at each other, and laughed at the same time. (To be continued......)
