"After de la Rosa's death, several main forces of the Dragon Witch Cult took the initiative to disperse and retreat. Their guerrilla warfare was still going on, but all the Death Groups and elite professionals had been reduced to nothing. The legends of the Dragon Witch Cult have also entered a state of concealment. "
Clark Banfield continued to report, "I am monitoring the whereabouts of some of them and have detailed information on them. I have the approximate location of the twelve legends and the hiding places of the thirty-three death groups."
Li Mochen suddenly became spirited when he heard this. "Give me their addresses!"
He was once again glad that he had replaced the Director of Intelligence in time before the war. If it were Jeremy Burt, he would not have been able to do this.
"Yes, Boss. I will have my magic messenger deliver it to you later."
Banfield answered without hesitation, "Also, Brigadier General Noah Badru has taken over the command and is reorganizing the troops and adjusting the combat strategy. The overall morale of the security department is good. Their next goal is to completely destroy the secret altars of the Dragon Witch Cult in Florida and other states with the support of legendary experts. At this stage, high-level experts should be our advantage. However, there is also a disadvantageous situation at present. We have encountered certain difficulties in recruiting new people. In the whole of America, our security personnel are undoubtedly the most dangerous profession. Boss, I suggest you increase the investment in personnel. "
Li Mochen smiled bitterly. Many of the people recruited by Xuri died in battle less than a month after taking the job. It was indeed very dangerous.
This problem was very easy to solve. The magic professionals of this world had a strong resistance to war and death. Therefore, as long as the money was in place, heavy casualties were not a problem.
However, as the leader of a force, Li Mochen could not help but feel distressed and ashamed.
Just tonight, he would spend at least five billion gold duns. And the large number of casualties in the personnel side, Li Mochen could not be indifferent.
He could offer three times the normal level of compensation and high benefits, which would presumably make many magic professionals rush to Xuri Construction. But the essence of these expenses of Li Mochen was actually buying lives.
After the call with Banfield ended, the blood sacrifice of the Scarlet Dragon Armor had also come to an end. At this moment, his Magic Energy Satellite Phone rang again.
This time, it was Michele Medici who called.
"André, you've given me another surprise."
Li Mochen was full of anger and resentment, so his tone was slightly teasing, "But it sounds like you're not in a good mood, Michelle, right?"
"It's a bit complicated. I didn't expect you to kill de la Rosa."
Michelle laughed, "Let's get back to the topic, André. The Chief Red-Robed Archbishop of the Dragon Witch Cult, Yarad, has once again sought me out to mediate the dispute between the two of you. "
"Not interested."
Li Mochen answered without hesitation, "They started the war, but it's not up to them to decide when it will end."
"Don't you want to hear the conditions?"
Michelle said leisurely: "They will hand over Black Tooth Clement. And then pay compensation of 10 billion gold duns — "
"Insincere. Just my Xuri Electronics Retail Company's 100 stores alone will lose more than 10 billion."
Li Mochen sneered, "Michelle, do you think I should stop?"
"Be patient and listen to me, okay? If this is the price, I won't agree to help them pass the message. "
Michelle said calmly, "In addition, they also put out a few conditions that I can't refuse. Are you interested in listening? The first is the Stone of Destiny. You're collecting these things, right? There are more than 20 of them in their treasury, and the market price is about 5 billion gold duns. The second is the Dragon Slaying Holy Sword 'Lafayette'. This is the weapon used by Emperor Barbarossa in his prime, a weak mythical item. But it's already damaged. But it's not impossible to repair it. The third is 50 drops of Crimson Dragon Spring. "
Hearing this, Li Mochen was slightly moved. This was a quasi-mythical item second only to the Tear of Amphitrite and the Heavenly Spring of Life.
Legend has it that it came from the dragon race's hidden graveyard in the Astral World. It was also said that it was the blood essence of the Primordial Dragon, but these two theories were denied by the dragon race.
However, its effects were real. It could heal most of the injuries of a legendary being, and it could even extend their lifespan by 20 to 30 years. 50 drops of Crimson Dragon Spring was worth between 5 billion to 7 billion gold duns.
"There are also the seven hundred and twenty stores and various industries of the Dragon Witch Cult in the country. Then there's their medium-sized military fortress' Grey Dragon Rock 'in the Dark World, as well as the mines and farms attached to the fortress. The total value should be around 50 billion gold duns. Finally, they'll help you clean up the mercenary groups that participated in the war, including those legendary ones. Now, it's your turn to bargain, little fellow. I guess you don't want their guerrilla warfare to continue, do you? "
Li Mochen thought to himself, this is interesting. Is he trying to divert the trouble to someone else?
Also, the compensation seemed very generous, but none of them could directly increase the growth of his forces. Especially the 'Grey Dragon Rock', it would only further disperse his forces.
As for those stores and industries, who knew if they came from legal or illegal sources?
Li Mochen could roughly guess the government's next move. These industries could not be kept by the Dragon Witch Cult.
"Then please turn them around. First, I'm not interested in the 'Grey Dragon Rock'. If they really want to sue for peace, then directly take out 50 billion gold duns in cash. Second, I know they have collected many relics of the Moshra civilization, and I need them. Third, I know they control the 'First B City Bank' and the 'Honorable Dragon Fund'. I hope that this bank and fund can be transferred to my name in the near future. Fourth, the St. George Hotel chain and the ownership of the Delaro Restaurant Group. "
This was tit for tat. The other party wanted to sue for peace, but was unwilling to let the Dragon Witch Cult pay the price to increase his forces. Li Mochen, on the other hand, was prepared to do his best to weaken the future war potential of the Dragon Witch Cult.
The 'First B City Bank' and the 'Honorable Dragon Fund' were the money bags of the Dragon Witch Cult. Just like the St. George Hotel chain and the Delaro Restaurant Group, they were all tools for the Dragon Witch Cult to launder money.
The latter also relied on these four business organizations to suppress and unify the local forces of the Dragon Witch Cult.
Michelle laughed again, "Wow, this is at least 200 billion gold duns in assets. I'm guessing the possibility of them agreeing is very small."
"Mr. Michelle, aren't you just a messenger? Just reply on my behalf. "
After Li Mochen hung up the phone, he turned to look at Delfinia, "We have to hurry. I'll have to trouble you again, Your Highness."
Before the peace talks, he planned to do his best to eliminate the 'legends' of the Dragon Witch Cult. This was not only to vent the anger and resentment in his heart, but also to further exert pressure on the enemy.
"Didn't I promise you? Just tell me the coordinates. "
Delfinia's words were concise, and she happily played with the 'Demon Sea Ring' in her hand.
Although the conditions proposed by Li Mochen made her hesitate for a long time. But when this Level Five holy equipment was in her hand, Delfinia still felt full of excitement and satisfaction.
At this moment, an owl jumped out of the astral world with a document.
Li Mochen recognized that it was Lady Christy Blade's magical pet. He took the document and raised his eyebrows.
He knew that the Dragon Witch Cult might struggle for a while, but there was not much room for negotiation.
