Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Chapter 157 Price
"Leonard! If we join forces, we can fight him!"

Gutes suffered a small loss at the very beginning of the fight, but did not suffer any substantial damage. In his opinion, this Demon King definitely did not have the same powerful strength as the previous king. If Leonard was willing to join forces with him to fight the enemy, he had at least a 60% chance of winning.

After all, they are all demigod-level warriors, and there is no difference in rank between them. If they fight two against one, there is always a chance of winning.

"I won't clean up your mess, you guys caused it yourself!"

Leonard, who was repeatedly named, shouted angrily to the demons who provoked him, saying that he didn't know what was so good about going against the new Demon King. It seemed as if he could become the Demon King if he defeated him. But in fact, without the identity of a messenger of God, anyone who forcibly succeeded to the throne would be unjustified.

"Are you willing to be ridden on by a dragon that suddenly appears?"

Gutes shouted loudly and angrily, and at the same time kept trying to rescue his supporters from Lynn's giant axe. Unfortunately, every time he went up, he would be easily knocked away by the opponent, even if he was equipped with a full set of top-level magic equipment.

"You've always been the only one who's unwilling to accept this. I, Leonard, don't care who becomes the Demon King. I can't be one myself anyway."

Seeing Gutes, who was of equal strength to him, being knocked around like a fly by the new generation of Demon Dragon King, Leonard had even less intention to take action.

He is so powerful, so let him be the Demon King. Even if he becomes the Demon King, he will not deprive me of my fiefdom or confiscate my property. Why should I go against him? Wouldn't it be better for us to attack other worlds together to make money?

"Damn it! You have no ambition at all! I look down on you!"

Although he was cursing, Guts knew what kind of demon Leonard was. He didn't have high expectations for him. Unless he could see huge benefits right in front of him, that guy would be like someone who had contracted the laziness epidemic in the Lazy Demon Kingdom.

"up to you."

Leonard didn't care at all about Guts' scolding. He was not those irritable guys in the Furious Demon Kingdom. As long as it was not a dispute over interests, he never cared about winning or losing.

"You still have the time to chat with demons? Why don't you check how many demons you have left?"

At this time, Lin En interrupted with a huge axe dripping with blood in his hand. Gutes was shocked and looked back. He saw that the dozen or so confidants who had come with him before had been killed to pieces, leaving only a few small people.

Including himself, there are only four demons left. Fortunately, his son is still alive because he protected him with his life.

But that was only the case for now. Based on the strength that Illidan had just demonstrated, killing his son in front of him would only require a little more effort, and he could definitely do it.

"Illidan... Lord Demon Emperor, let's stop here. I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you. Perhaps you may not take me, a peak-level demon, seriously, but now that the demon world has declined to this point, a demigod is crucial. Please stop killing my own kind, as this will only benefit other worlds."

Gutes has not had a head-on fight with Lin En so far, but it is not difficult to see the gap between them from his relaxed performance. As long as the dragon who calls himself the Demon King is willing, it will not be particularly difficult to defeat him.

In his heart, he was not convinced, and he had not been defeated head-on, but the reality was already like this. Even if he was unwilling, he had to lower his proud head.

"Swearing allegiance to me is simple. You have three rebels who are defying my orders. Kill them all, and I will accept your allegiance."

Lin En stood in place, carrying the exaggerated giant axe on his shoulder, and looked at Gutes leisurely. He was not a devil, not so heartless. As long as the other party sincerely surrendered to him, he could negotiate.

"My Lord Demon King, they are all my most loyal subordinates, and have made great contributions to the demon clan. When they followed the previous king to conquer the world of miracles, they killed no less than ten thousand generals and enemies. Can you spare their lives in consideration of their past achievements?" Gutes was not instantly angered by Lin En's conditions. Instead, he clasped his hands together and told him about their past military exploits, letting him know that his subordinates were not those incompetent nobles who had never left the demon world. They had fought in blood and fire, and their actual combat power was the best in the same level. They also had experience in leading troops in battle. The benefits of recruiting them would definitely be far greater than killing them to establish authority.

"Oh? You've led troops into battle?"

Upon hearing this, Lin En touched his dragon whiskers and seemed to be a little moved.

"What do you think, Lord Demon Emperor?"

Seeing that the violent dragon seemed to have slowed down its attitude, Gutes hurriedly asked cautiously.

"But if they can still survive, wouldn't that be a slap in my face? My face is worth at least ten demigods, right? So, I'll give them one minute. If the three of them can reach level 9000 together, I'll spare them!"

Lin En swung the giant axe again, pointing it at the ground, and said jokingly.

The three demons are level 9000, so the average level is 3000...

If they had that ability, you would be the one begging for mercy now!
What kind of hellish joke is this? It’s hard to say whether the supreme Demon God of Destruction is at level 9000. How capable are these three of them to dare to compete with the Demon King?

"Master Demon Emperor, please don't joke like that. We are truly committed to serving you!"

Gutes' face darkened, but he didn't dare to get angry. He felt that the situation could still be saved and it was not yet time for an ultimatum.

"Who said I was joking? Pay attention to the time, there are still thirty seconds left."

Lin En raised his hand and glanced at the magic watch, and said with a hint of anger, with a strong warning tone.

"Leonard! Join forces with me to defeat him! All the fiefdoms under my name will be given to you!"

Having said this, seeing that the dragon's angry voice did not seem fake, Gutes simply gave up the idea of surrendering. However, he was confident that he could survive against an opponent of the same level, but facts had proved that he could not protect other demons.

Compared with becoming a commander without troops and losing his most beloved youngest son, paying the price of all his fiefdoms was nothing.

The demon world is in chaos now, so he can just grab some fiefdoms from other nobles later. Is there any other demon capable of stopping him? Isn't Leonard doing this a lot lately?
"Bullshit! Our two countries don't even share a border. How can I control your fiefdoms?"

Leonard had just heard that a grand duke was willing to give away all his fiefdom, which was an entire duchy. He was almost instantly moved, but after that he immediately calmed down.

Because the two demons belonged to different demon kingdoms, and there were two other demon kingdoms between them, although the teleportation array was very convenient, it was too time-consuming and laborious to manage two principalities across such a long distance.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has been running the Principality of Gutes for so many years, how can he take it over smoothly with just a promise? He is greedy, but he is not a sucker.
