The Crystal Palace Plan of the Sinner Lord

The Lion Demons come from Sirocco Highlands.

This was something Caesar had expected.

He initially thought that this Lion Demon named Jolima was also a pioneering noble. It was not until he confessed completely that he realized that a group of Lion Demons from Hot Wind Highlands were already on the way, led by the fiancée of the eldest son of the Mad Blood Family of Hot Wind Highlands!

This group of demons are simply here to steal his territory.

The goal is to seize Shijian Village, and then use Shijian Village as a springboard to attack Bona Town, wipe out the Glowing Church in Bona Town, and then capture Angela, the special envoy of the Glowing Church, in order to gain an opportunity for promotion for his merits.

Faced with the current situation, on the surface, he has two options for response.

First of all, it is clear that with his current strength and the nobles under his command, the other party will definitely change the policy of elimination to recruitment, and he will naturally have the choice of either joining the team of the Mad Blood Family and helping the Mad Blood Family gain merit, or turning against the Mad Blood Family and fighting to the end.

However, Caesar did not intend to use either of these two plans, he wanted to compromise.

According to the information provided by Jolima, the demon army coming from Hot Wind Highlands includes more than twenty lion demon guards, in addition to a large number of goblins, gnolls and other demon cannon fodder. Caesar certainly cannot defeat this force, and he cannot defeat the Church of Light in Bona Town either. Time waits for no one, so he plans to pretend to join the army of the Mad Blood Family, but actually wait for them to fight to the death with the Church of Light in Bona Town so that he can reap the benefits.

If this plan goes well enough.

Then he will not lose his current title and territory.

You can also invade Baona Town and Shijian Village to gain more territory.

As for how Hot Wind Highlands will react when they find out, we can only take it one step at a time and wait and see.

If he doesn't try now, everything he has now will be taken away from him.

But there is still a problem before him - he has come into conflict with the group of Lion Demon guards in Hot Wind Highlands.

The other party only needs to enter his territory to quickly find out that he killed the Lion Demon's personal guards. Although it is true that the invader is a Lion Demon, the demons will not listen to reason. The bigger the fist, the greater the principle. Therefore, if he wants to join the army of Hot Wind Highlands and gain basic trust, he still needs a letter of allegiance.

As for where this letter of allegiance came from.

Then naturally we have to ask the patrol knight from the original town of Bona.

...

"Erin, do you know when Knight Parks' wife will come to Stone Sword Village?"

In the cave, Caesar, Irene and Shana were sitting together enjoying dinner.

Roasted eggs, roasted turkey, roasted fish, roasted pork...

Ordinary people in this world only know how to roast, steam and cook three kinds of food, and they don’t have any seasoning.

After the previous experience of adding too much salt, the dishes cooked by Irene today tasted much better, but they were only edible. Secondly, the charred fish grilled by Shana made Caesar a little disappointed.

If there is no more chef in his territory.

We can’t live like this anymore!

Cecilia didn't eat meat, she sat alone in the corner of the cave, with a plate of fruit on her knees. She had a leather collar around her neck, which was connected to a chain and tied to a stone pillar on the other side.

Although the elf lady has said that she will not return to the tribe, Caesar is still worried.

Irene was confused by Caesar's question.

She had no idea what was in the letter. She didn't even know who Knight Parks was or why Knight Parks' wife came to Stone Sword Village.

"Ouch, sorry, forgot you didn't know that."

Caesar scratched his head and sighed helplessly. He was so busy that he was confused.

Now we can use Knight Parks' wife and daughter to threaten him to draw a defense map of the town of Bonnar. But we cannot be sure that the defense map drawn by Parks is correct. To be on the safe side, we still need to invite the other party's wife and daughter to come in front of him to make the knight behave. It is definitely not because he needs a cook!

After thinking it over, Caesar decided not to wait any longer.

He is going to attack Shijian Village directly, tonight.

It would be better to capture Shijian Village in advance so as to welcome Knight Parks' wife and daughter.

It would be difficult if they went to Shijian Village first and were reminded by someone and then went back to Baona Town.

……

……

It was just getting dark, and Shijian Village was at its busiest time of the day.

Adventurers who receive commissions to go out on quests will return before dark. Even the most experienced hunters will not stay in the Sunset Forest for long under the cover of night. Without the protection of a knight, everyone is cautious and sees enemies everywhere.

But the tavern and adventurers were still packed with people.

The noisy sounds could be clearly heard at the entrance of Shijian Village.

. . .

"I found my daughter, Mr. Sorol."

Carlo and the businessman Sorol sat opposite each other in the corner of the tavern.

The businessman still looked calm, with his hair and beard neatly groomed.

Carlo's face had bruises and his clothes were torn.

He doesn't look like a village chief, but rather looks like a beggar.

Today he was beaten up by the thief and thrown into the ditch. All his belongings were stolen by the homeless people nearby. Now he is penniless except for his son.

Even the clothes I’m wearing now were picked up from the garbage dump.

"Oh, so Mr. Carlo, what's the point of you telling me all this? Take your house back?" Solor held a leaf cigarette in his mouth, frowned, took a puff, spit all the smoke on Carlo's face, and said in a deep voice:

"You need to understand Mr. Carlo. Our deal is that you hand your daughter over to me and I'll give you money. Do you understand? It's not about asking me to go look for your daughter. I have no obligation to do so!"

"You misunderstood me."

Carlo lowered his head and said amiably, "I don't want your money. I just hope you can tell me when you find my daughter. I will beat up this little bastard, or I will never be able to get over it!"

"Oh?" Solor propped his chin with both hands and asked with interest, "You really don't want anything? Not even the house?"

"No." Carlo shook his head.

He knew there was no point in asking Sorol for these things.

Rather than asking for it and then being ruthlessly humiliated, it is better to take the opportunity to vent your anger.

Carlo trembled with anger when he thought about what happened today.

That damn cousin had clearly escaped from the Sunset Forest but didn't come home, he clearly knew that his younger brother needed money to attend the Knight Academy but didn't care, he clearly had money but was unwilling to treat his younger brother who was bitten by a poisonous snake.

What's the point of having a daughter like this?

If it wasn't for doing Solor a favor, he would have wanted to beat Irene to death. Of course, before beating her to death, Irene must give him all her money.

"You are such an interesting father."

Solor laughed and flicked the ash off his cigarette: "Are you sure your daughter wasn't violated by a monster?"

"I'm sure." Carlo said confidently, "When I saw her, she was buying potions at the pharmacy. She was wearing a neat wizard robe. I don't know where she is hiding in the town of Bona now."

Sorol pondered for a while, then looked up and said to Carlo:

"Well, I will find your daughter. If she is still a fledgling, you won't have to beat her. If she is not a fledgling, you can do whatever you want... Also, I heard that your son was bitten by a poisonous snake. I happen to have an antidote here. I'll give it to you. If your daughter is not a fledgling, then you have to give up your position as village chief."

Carlo looked at the potion handed to him by the merchant and swallowed.

"What if Erin is still a fledgling?"

"If so, you can continue to be the village chief, and I will accept your daughter as my own."

"That's great!" Carlo happily took the antidote, made a cross on his chest with his right hand, and bowed his head to greet: "You are such a kind businessman, may the God of Wealth protect you!"

Chapter 52: Give you a chance to persuade

Although Carlo often denounced Solor as a greedy devil.

But he had to say that he felt Solor was very kind during today's conversation.

The businessman also found this bastard father very interesting. He was the perfect example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and sacrificing one's relatives for the sake of justice. The two raised their glasses and drank a toast. Carlo smiled flatteringly and Solor smiled contemptuously, but they didn't know that in the uneven wasteland three hundred meters away from Shijian Village, a demon had already rushed out with all the power of demons.

"I am going to attack Shijian Village. Do you two have any opinions?"

Caesar looked back at Shana and Irene.

There was a hint of struggle in Shana's eyes. She was a human being, and although she had no contact with the people of Shijian Village, she still felt terrified when she suddenly heard about such a cruel thing.

"Mr. Caesar, will you kill them all?"

"That's hard to say." Caesar glanced at the militia standing guard on the tower outside Shijian Village, and turned back to say, "I am a demon, and it is my responsibility to attack humans and seize territory. Besides, Shijian Village was originally supposed to be a forest, but humans occupied the demons' living space, and there are all kinds of adventurers wandering around my territory all the time!"

Shana hugged her arms helplessly, bit her lips lightly, lowered her head and remained silent.

She knew that what Caesar said was right. The relationship between the demons and humans was irreconcilable. Adventurers entered Caesar's territory for killing, and Caesar expelled the adventurers, which was also killing. The reason she was able to survive was because Caesar showed leniency, but she had no right to ask Caesar to show leniency to all humans.

Caesar didn't care about Shana's silence.

As his treasured collection, it naturally has to wear the same underwear as him.

Otherwise, it would be better to just chop him to death with an axe.

Fortunately, Shana's favorability has not changed.

At least this little Loli did not let anyone down when it came to standing on the same side.

Caesar said he could understand why he couldn't accept that his own people were being killed.

Anyway, Shana will get used to it slowly in the future.

"What about you? Any ideas?"

Caesar's eyes fell on Irene beside him again.

"There are still some good people in the village, Mr. Caesar. I can persuade them to surrender." Irene lowered her head and did not dare to look into Caesar's eyes. She was afraid that Caesar would just tell her to get out.

"Persuade them to surrender?"

Caesar looked Irene up and down and his face twitched.

Are little girls nowadays so naive?

If there were so many good people, Irene wouldn't have suffered domestic violence for so many years.

Her mother was beaten to death, how could the people of Shijian Village not know? Her mother died, and the next person to be beaten was Irene, how could the people of Shijian Village not know? Of course they knew, but they just adhered to the principle of less trouble is more trouble, and Carlo was the village chief after all, so they simply didn't bother to care.

"Okay, then you go in and persuade them to surrender."

Caesar didn't mind teaching Irene a lesson so that she would let go of those unrealistic fantasies, and at the same time give Shana an explanation and a reason, but he would only do this once.

"Is this really possible? Mr. Caesar is willing to give the people of Shijian Village a chance?" Irene's eyes burst with gratitude and surprise.

"Of course, go ahead."

Caesar nodded to Irene.

"Mr. Caesar, you are truly a kind demon."

. . .

Caesar couldn't help but sneer as he watched Irene walking towards Shijian Village.

Kindness? You must be kidding.

There is no mercy in the devil's dictionary.

"Surround Stone Sword Village." He turned and ordered the trolls and goblins: "If you let a fly go, you will be thrown into the pot and stewed into meat soup!"

Shana was about to say something when she saw this scene, and Cecilia looked at her coldly.

The monsters all showed cruel smiles.

At the same time, Irene had arrived at the tower at the entrance of Shijian Village.

The militia on duty above had already seen her.

"who?"

One of the militiamen drew his bow and aimed it at Erin.

"I'm Irene! I'm back and I have something to tell you all!"

Irene waved to the two militiamen on the tower.

The two militiamen knew Irene.

It is precisely because of knowledge that we are confused.
