After achieving victory in Yellow Sand City and gaining the support of the dwarves, the Demon King did not continue to attack the orcs' territory. Instead, he focused on the human empire in the west, the Liska Empire, which was adjacent to the Great Forest of Ufa.
The Great Forest of Ufa could produce large amounts of food, and what the Demon King lacked the most now was millions of people. The Liska Empire was his next target. Of course, if he blatantly invaded, it would definitely attract the attention of the humans. The Demon King did not want to face the joint attack of the Dragon Boat Empire and the Luas Empire now.
Fortunately, there were people in the guild who helped him distract the attention. After the destruction of Stone City, the guild gave up on this place. The death of the Adventurer's Guild's president, Anmihu, greatly changed the situation. The links between the various empires were broken, and the Dragon Boat Empire, the Luas Empire, and the Ophiuchi Empire began to compete with each other. They wanted to take this opportunity to ban the Adventurer's Guild and become the world's leader. At this time, if a small country had a political problem, who would care about its survival?
However, before the Demon King could make a move, the Liska Empire itself had fallen into crisis and chaos. A bandit group was born in the ruins of Stone City. They were organized and disciplined, and they changed from a bandit group that robbed merchants to a rebel army against the tyranny of the king. This group was called the Eagle Group.
Now that the situation was chaotic, many local nobles and lords were observing the situation. There were also many local organizations that rose up like the Eagle Regiment. After King Kalis's attempt to recruit the Eagle Regiment failed, the king finally sent out his army to suppress them.
… …
In a bright room, a well-dressed merchant sat behind a large desk. He lowered his head and looked at the white paper in his hand. His eyes were a little blurred, and if one looked closely, one could see that his shoulders were trembling slightly.
Eibron put down the paper with a trembling hand.
He was not alone in the room. There was another young man in the room. He was the one who brought the letter, and Eibron learned from the servant that his name was Raas. His face was tense, and he deliberately did not let himself show his inner feelings. His bright eyes looked straight ahead.
They were crazy to actually send a young man over.
However, Eibron knew that the person who wrote the letter wasn't crazy. He had been tricked into doing something he shouldn't have done in his life.
"Please, please let me go. I'm just a small merchant. How would I dare to go against the royal family? What right do I have …"
"This is a chance given to you by our master. You have to think carefully before you answer."
At this moment, a figure appeared behind him, right in front of the half-open window. Outside the window was darkness, and there was not a single star in the sky.
To be more precise, it was not a person, but a freak with black feathers. Others called it a freak. It was said that it was a monster born from a human and a demon.
Eibron was startled. He turned around, but his survival instincts kept him from looking up. He could only stare at the man's feet, trembling.
"Milord! I'm begging you, please let me go. Please find someone else. I'm just a small merchant, I can't fight against the army. "
He rose to his feet in a great panic, and bowed to the freak in a most subservient manner towards the black window. It had been a long time since he'd done something like this in the past thirty years.
Eibron knew who was in charge here. The young man he was facing was nothing more than a pawn being used.
That was exactly what he was thinking.
As a businessman, he'd been through a lot of life and death situations. But this time, he couldn't stay calm. The reason he was so afraid was because he wasn't dealing with a human, but with a powerful organization led by demons. Their leader was even more mysterious, and Eibron knew nothing about him.
"Leave the army to us. You just need to do what we ask you to do," Killer Liuliu said coldly.
Eibron looked like he was in a difficult position. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. "But … but this is … too risky."
"Unless you want the whole world to know that you sold your own people to the demons. If that happens, there will be no place for you in human territory. Think about it. You only have two choices. Join us, or go against the whole world. "
Eibron's heart skipped a beat. If these transactions were exposed, it would definitely cause public outrage. At that time, his Chamber of Commerce would definitely be closed down, and all his assets would be taken away. Although he had a way to change his identity and continue living, how could he give up his life of luxury and the wealth that he had painstakingly accumulated for most of his life?
With that, he left the room with the young man. When the young man left, he closed the door behind him. In the end, Eibron saw the distrust in the young man's eyes.
He slumped into his chair like a defeated rooster, his face covered in sweat.
"Damn it! If I'd known, I wouldn't have done that business! "
Eibron clutched at his hair. But it was too late for regrets. There was no turning back.
All the guards in his house were killed without a sound. Just as he was counting the money, the young man opened the door and came in. After he called for the guards three times, he knew something was wrong. When the young man told him where he came from, Eibron gave up.
He came from the Wussen Empire, that mysterious country.
The Demon King had sent Killer LiuLiu to the Liska Empire. He brought a group of humans, shapeshifters, and monsters with obvious human characteristics to the Liska Empire. His first target was the rich merchant, Eibron.
Raas and Killer LiuLiu walked down the hallway of the mansion. There were countless rooms in the hallway, and the lights on the walls lit up the entire hallway. The floor was littered with corpses.
"Why are we looking for people like this? I don't think merchants are trustworthy. "
The young man said as he stepped over the corpses on the floor.
"Probably because the master needs their strength. As long as there's enough profit, merchants are the easiest to win over."
LiuLiu suddenly glanced at the young man. He saw blood seeping out of the young man's arm.
"Even so, I don't know what the master's plans are. Compared to that, I'm more concerned about whether or not you have the ability to complete the master's mission."
He suddenly stopped. Raas also stopped. He lowered his head and clutched his wound.
"Since you've chosen this path, I won't treat you like a child. I won't pity you. Don't take any chances. If you get into trouble because of your own strength, no one will save you. This is the way of life for us assassins. Only the strong can survive."
"Yes, I understand."
Raas frowned.
"The training will be even harder. Be prepared."
With that, Killer LiuLiu turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared, leaving only a few black feathers behind.
"Yes, sir."
Raas frowned, clutching his injured arm.
