A snake demon, holding a spear in his left hand and a shield in his right hand, attacked from the side, but when he saw a flash of black light, he subconsciously raised his shield to resist. However, with a loud bang, the shield shattered, and the Axe of Destruction easily tore his body apart. The gust of wind even strangled the surrounding trees and the snake demons that were closer.
Berkeley has completely lost the ability to continue fighting.
He could only watch helplessly as the elite troops under his father's command were blocked in the canyon and hacked and killed by the enemy like cutting melons and vegetables.
If it is a flat terrain, it can be restrained remotely.
But encountering a demon with terrifying melee ability in this canyon is simply digging your own grave!
"How can the gap be so huge..." Berkeley clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
He has worked very hard to improve himself since he was a child, so that he can inherit the title from his father in a legitimate way in the future.
Later, when he was older, he also competed with fourth-level demons of similar age, but those demons were no match for him.
Continuous battles and consecutive victories did not make Berkeley proud and complacent. He worked harder to improve himself. He felt that he had already positioned himself. However, in today's battle with the demon, he did not even properly take the demon's random attack.
We lost, and lost completely.
It might be true that this demon killed Quinhagen and the patrol noble Gustav.
Then it is probably true that the other party became the new lord of Hot Wind Highlands, and the title may not be forged.
The canyon gradually became quiet, and the sounds of the snake demon's calls for help and screams became increasingly sporadic.
Berkeley heard heavy footsteps behind him, approaching step by step.
The threat of death seems to have stretched the timeline, making every second seem like a year.
“Brother…brother?!”
Claude's surprised cry came from above the canyon.
Berkeley managed to raise his head and saw his brother standing on the edge of the cliff looking down with a look of shock on his face.
There were already corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river here.
That killer-like demon is standing behind him holding that bloody battle axe, right?
"Claude, run!"
Berkeley roared with all his might.
Chapter 187: You have to pay
Claude thought that when he came to the Beatrice Territory, he would be able to see his brother killing everyone, and he felt it was worth it even if he was almost kicked to death during the day. However, the result was just the opposite. When the demon's eyes swayed with scarlet murderous intent and swept over him, he felt weak all over, and he couldn't even hold the weapon in his hand. He felt the urge to urinate in his crotch.
He knew to run without Berkeley reminding him.
It doesn’t matter if Berkeley dies. As long as he doesn’t die, he can naturally become the heir of Modor City.
However, just as he turned around, he heard a sharp wind behind him.
A circle of golden fighting spirit rose from Caesar's feet, and the ground beneath his feet shook violently. Berkeley next to him was blown away by the shock wave of the war, while Caesar turned into an afterimage, soared into the air, raised the battle axe in his hand high, and chopped down with majestic momentum.
"Mom!"
Claude had never seen such a scene before and was almost frightened to death.
"Hurry up! Stop him, don't let him come over!"
He yelled at his men on both sides, and took the lead to flee out of the canyon.
Seeing this, the guards around could only step forward to help their second son escape. Some took out bows and arrows, while others charged forward with double swords.
They were originally the elite demons of Modor City. They had followed Hassan to fight against the human coalition forces. None of them were afraid of death. Besides, there was only one demon. Even if they couldn't kill the demon, it shouldn't be a problem to help the second son delay him, right?
The demon just fought with Berkeley, so he may not be at his peak strength anymore.
However, this demon was unstoppable. He ignored their obstruction and knocked them away with his strong body charging forward like a chariot. The sharp axe in his hand went straight for his second son, whose back was full of flaws.
"Stop!" Just when Caesar was about to start a killing spree, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the canyon.
I saw a tall and majestic snake demon rushing in from outside the canyon like a whirlwind. He was wrapped in a dark whirlwind that crushed all the surrounding trees. He was as fast as a ghost and arrived in front of Caesar in the blink of an eye. The moment he approached Caesar, he twisted his waist and his two scimitars drew an arc and slashed at Caesar from the side.
"This demon's strength and speed are both superior to mine!" Caesar narrowed his eyes and made a quick judgment.
If he wanted to kill Claude, he would definitely be hit by the double swords, and would be seriously injured even if he was physically strong.
"Hmph." He snorted coldly and gave up on killing Claude.
He turned the axe of destruction in his hand and bit at the double swords like a bloodthirsty beast.
Dang Dang Dang——
Count Hassan is indeed a demon who has fought on the battlefield and against humans.
The double swords in his hands were extremely fast. In addition, he had six arms. In addition to the double swords, he also held daggers, guns, daggers and other weapons. With his flexible body, the weapons in his hands danced into an impenetrable storm to suppress Caesar.
But he did not feel well. After seven or eight consecutive collisions, he found that Caesar's strength was no weaker than his.
What's even more strange is that, except for the two double swords, the other four weapons were all chopped into pieces by that strange axe. Without the protection of these weapons, he had to retreat with the double swords.
"This new Viscount, I think there is some misunderstanding between us."
Taking advantage of the opportunity of a sword fight, Count Hassan stared into Caesar's eyes and said hurriedly: "After the Demon King canonized a noble, the news was gradually spread throughout the Demon Realm. It would take a day or two even if it was fast. I just know that you have been canonized as a viscount. I didn't know before. I thought you were forging your identity, so I sent people to kill you."
Hassan was feeling extremely frustrated. He had originally planned to suppress Caesar with his strength and then have a good talk with Caesar. However, when the fight really started, he found out that this was just a fourth-level demon. How could he fight him back and forth?
I can't kill him, and if I really use combat skills, it will be a bad ending.
"Your son is a bad-mouthed man who flirted with my woman. Are you just going to let this go?"
Caesar exerted force from his waist and abdomen, and the tremendous power combined with that of two fourth-level demons suddenly burst out, forcing the fifth-level Count Hassan away. The axe of destruction chopped down again, and Count Hassan quickly blocked the axe blade again.
"We can pay for it!" he growled through gritted teeth.
For the demons, money is not everything, but being without money is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, no demon would refuse these lovely gold coins. It is just a question of whether there are enough gold coins.
"Compensation, how much will you pay?" Caesar's brows relaxed.
I have to say that Count Hassan's words are indeed more pleasant than any apology.
Especially since he is very short of money now.
"Fifty thousand gold coins!" Count Hassan quoted a price that would make all the demons excited.
"My son was just saying it casually that time, and he didn't succeed in the end. Besides, you destroyed the streets of my Mordor City and killed so many snake demon guards. I have done my best to compensate you with 50,000 gold coins!"
"Fifty thousand gold coins can buy your son's life." Caesar nodded.
Count Hassan just breathed a sigh of relief when Caesar said, "But you have two sons."
"What do you mean?"
"What it means is that 50,000 gold coins can buy the life of one of your sons, and two sons is 100,000. Pay the money, and then you can take them away."
Caesar stepped aside and motioned for Hassan to look down the canyon.
Hassan saw his eldest son Berkeley lying in a pool of blood, his life or death unknown.
He was not surprised by this result. This demon could fight him back and forth, so it was understandable that Berkeley was no match for him.
"Okay, one hundred thousand gold coins, but I have to let the guards send my son back first." Hassan glared at Caesar fiercely. Even though he was in charge of Modor City, one hundred thousand gold coins was not a small amount. Caesar would be given one hundred thousand here, and he would have to pay the shortfall out of his own pocket. That money was saved to deal with risks.
Now the demons may go into full-scale war with the human coalition at any time. At that time, all the demon nobles will have to go to the front line. The money will be used to equip the army. One hundred thousand gold coins can buy hundreds of sets of high-quality armor.
But now, for the sake of his two good-for-nothing sons, he has no choice but to spend money to avoid disaster.
When Caesar saw that Count Hassan agreed so readily, he thought to himself that it was too little.
But since the words had already been spoken, he nodded and grinned:
"No problem, I was very measured in my attack, your eldest son is still alive."
The corners of Count Hassan's mouth twitched, but he finally chose to keep his mouth shut and said nothing.
The guards quickly carried away the frightened Claude and the seriously injured and dying Berkeley. Count Hassan did not default on his debt and gave Caesar 100,000 gold coins as agreed. That amount of money was enough to fill more than a dozen treasure chests.
"Thank you for the gift, Count." Caesar received the gold coins with a happy face.
Count Hassan looked grim, and said with a fake smile: "Viscount, don't be too aggressive, or you will die without knowing how one day!"
"Let's go!" After saying that, he left angrily with a group of snake demons.
Chapter 188: Reasons for Fear
"Father, are we just going to let this go?"
In Mordor City, Claude knelt in front of Count Hassan with a sad expression: "You saw it too, that viscount didn't give you any face at all. My brother was beaten like this, he almost died..."
"Shut up!" Count Hassan was so angry that he slammed the table and cursed: "Idiot, didn't you cause this? You are a waste, you are ignorant all day long. How could I give birth to such a piece of trash like you? One hundred thousand gold coins, can you be worth one hundred thousand if I sell you?"
"If you sell me to the human coalition, I should be able to fetch hundreds of thousands..." Claude said weakly.
bang——
A water cup exploded at his feet, causing Claude to shiver all over.
"Get out!"
Seeing Count Hassan's furious look, Claude didn't dare to say anything more and quickly retreated from the side. As soon as he walked out of the door, his face darkened and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice:
"What is a stinky old man showing off for? A level 5 warrior is beaten by a level 4 demon. Isn't that embarrassing? If I were also level 5, I would have killed that demon long ago!"
Claude never thought that the food was his problem.
In his eyes, Berkeley is also a waste.
If his father had invested so many resources in him, he would definitely not have been so embarrassed by a demon of the same level.
After all, he was born too late, so nothing belongs to him and he has to fight for everything on his own.
"We can't just let this go..."
Claude's face was grim.
The two consecutive blows did not make him realize the truth, but instead made the resentment and jealousy in his heart even more difficult to suppress.
Why does the demon have such powerful strength at such a young age?
Why can he already own a viscountship?
Moreover, they are favored by the succubus of the Tia family. They are obviously returning to the clan with the scroll to conclude a contract. By then, with the replenishment of magic power, the demon will only become more powerful.
"Siroccan Highlands...Siroccan Highlands!!"
Claude's eyes lit up.
He couldn't deal with Caesar, but he could definitely target Caesar's territory. As the lord, Caesar must be the strongest in the territory.
Now that Caesar has followed the succubus, he will definitely not be back for ten days or half a month. Why not take this opportunity to destroy his territory?
By the time Caesar comes back, there will be no evidence.
The more Claude thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, and the more he thought that this plan was feasible.
"But my father has already taken away my military power..." Claude scratched his head, feeling torn.
It would be impossible for him to fight the entire territory alone.
But soon he came up with an idea.
He was about to go to a new territory to serve as a baron, but the title had not yet been approved. However, he could already make preparations in advance, such as visiting some tribes in the surrounding areas and recruiting the demons among them as his subordinates. These were cannon fodder that Count Hassan looked down upon.
Originally, he looked down on these cannon fodder.
But now he had nothing and had no choice.
Anyway, the people on Sirocco Plateau were also cannon fodder, so he might not have no chance of winning against cannon fodder. Even if he couldn't take Sirocco Plateau, it would definitely cause Caesar to suffer heavy losses.
"I am such a genius." Claude raised a sinister smile, as if he had seen Hot Wind Highlands turned into a ruin under his attack.
……
Green collar——
Caesar and Hill Tia finally arrived safely. A group of ordinary succubi in maid uniforms greeted them at the door of the manor, which dazzled Caesar.
The entire process of the battle between Caesar and the Black Scale Family of Modor City was seen by Hill Tia.
She originally thought that she had just found a permanent spouse with decent ability.
