Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

You are so bad, I love you so much

"Hmmmm~"

Margaret lay under Irons with a flushed face. After a lazy gasp, she put her arms on Irons' shoulders and stroked them gently, feeling the joy brought to her by the great harmony of life.

After paying his dues, Irons took a deep breath of the rich rose scent on Margaret's body, kissed her forehead lightly, and then chuckled, "I thought you really wanted to leave Fenya and Poluboli to watch you and me do it~"

Hearing this, Margaret smirked, stretched her body, rubbed it in Ains' arms, and murmured, "It's just a joke~ But if I really let them stay, they probably won't be able to disobey~"

"You actually still have this interest?" Irons raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Wow~ I just think it's fun to think about it, that feeling... I'm playing with you in my hands, but others can't do anything~"

As she spoke, Margaret teased Irons with her possessive and dominating eyes, and then gently stroked Irons' face with her slender hands, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.

"..."

This made Irons' expression become subtle. It turned out that Margaret actually had this kind of XP. She was simply a congenital Minotaur Holy Body...

But... I don't really hate it. After all, she's such a good wife to me. If she wants to play whatever she wants, it's not impossible for her to pamper her a little and cooperate with her a little.

So, Irons rubbed Margaret's hand that was touching him, and then he lay in Margaret's arms and asked with a smile: "Then should I still pretend to be addicted to your body and unable to extricate myself?"

"That's great!" Margaret said with a sly smile, "As expected, you understand me best, Irons~"

After hugging Irons and rubbing against him intimately, Margaret, who was well satisfied by Irons, began to talk about business: "Okay, tell me, what did you and Finia do when you went out today?"

Such a quick switch made Irons laugh and cry, and he couldn't help but complain: "You are so casual. You just finished and haven't even put on clothes yet, and you're talking about state affairs. It's very inappropriate."

"Humph~ How can state affairs be so inconvenient? Don't be so inappropriate, just tell me if we can talk about it this way!"

Listening to Margaret's righteous sophistry, Irons could not help laughing, but he did not try to persuade her. Anyway, let the girl play like this.

Although the situation may not be appropriate, Margaret still has her heart set on business.

So the two of them lay on the bed and talked about what they had seen and heard that day.

As she listened, Margaret became uneasy. My goodness, after just one day of absence, Irons actually went to the Demon King's Castle and did so many things! ?

Moreover, as Irons narrated, Margaret's emotions also fluctuated.

When he heard that the food store he opened was being taken away by a group of merchants through forced buying and selling, and then resold the goods and drove up the prices.

You know, the prices of food in the grocery store were finally arrived at after a whole night of discussion with officials such as Ains, Sofia, Engla, etc.

In order to satisfy the profitability of production, sales and purchasing at the same time, it must also be affordable for the lowest level residents of Demon King's City.

Just such a simple price represents the collective wisdom of the smartest minds in Demon King's City!

And the price that was calculated so carefully was actually arbitrarily inflated by this group of unscrupulous merchants! ? Margaret felt a surge of anger in her heart!

"Damn it, I'm going to legislate now! Whoever dares to mess with the price of food will lose his head!"

Irons patted Margaret's chest and comforted her, "Don't worry, Margaret. More haste, less speed. Market regulation must be done step by step.

This problem cannot be solved simply by killing those profiteers who disrupt the market. If you kill one batch of profiteers, the next batch will naturally take their place.

And who will be the next batch of profiteers? They may be local bosses in the inner city or gangs in the outer city.

They have a keen sense of smell and when they discover a vacancy in the market, they will inevitably take advantage of it and invade the business channels that were originally in the hands of unscrupulous businessmen.

If these guys control the business channels, they will become more difficult to deal with than profiteers.”

Irons's reminder calmed Margaret down a little. After thinking for a while, she nodded and asked, "Then...what should we do?"

"Wow..." Irons raised his lips slightly and asked, "Didn't we encounter similar things when we were in Blackwater City? Do you remember what we did back then?"

"Woo..." After being reminded by Irons, Margaret changed her mind instantly and muttered: "Carrot and stick, use both kindness and force, suppress one group, support another group, and then... treat them, behead them..."

"Take it in and be your dog."

As they spoke, the two looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding, reaching a synchronization in their thinking.

There is basically a preliminary solution to the problem of unscrupulous vendors manipulating the market, but the real problem does not lie solely with the unscrupulous vendors.

The complicated gang forces in the outer city area are also a big problem. However, if you want to deal with gangs, you have to be fully prepared and eradicate them completely.

Moreover, it will not be implemented until a new city is built in Troll Ridge and the population burden of the Demon King's City is reduced.

So, there is no rush for this for now.

Of course, in addition to the bad news, Irons also brought some good news, such as the surrender of Mrs. Susie, the local boss in the inner city.

After Irons briefly recounted what had happened, Margaret looked a little unhappy.

Seeing Margaret's expression, Irons was a little surprised. Was it because of his poor handling method that made Margaret unhappy? Or did Margaret disagree with his idea?

Just when Irons was feeling a little uneasy, Margaret asked directly, "Why did you give the silver ring to that little bitch succubus who touched you?"

"……Forehead……"

Margaret's question made Irons' brain explode. After talking for such a long time, Margaret still couldn't forget such a small thing?

"Ah, it's just a small conflict. After all, we have to make a good impression on the people we need to cooperate with, right?"

"That's not what I meant!" Margaret shook her head angrily, and complained to Irons with a strong sense of jealousy: "You actually gave a gift to that little bitch who cheated you!?

If it were me, I would have slapped her twice! Humph! And... you gave her a ring! You haven't even given me a ring! I'm angry! I'm going to make a scene!!!"

Irons looked at Margaret, who was completely jealous and making a fuss. She was angry, crying, and making a fuss, and even had some facial expressions on her face. Irons immediately thought of a certain embarrassing blue-haired goddess.

This immediately made him look at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and he could only coax and kiss her and use his already poor love brain to make this jealous girl calm down.

Fortunately, although Jumagari is a jealous person who is easily provoked, she is also a very easy to deal with woman.

After several teasings, Margaret calmed down and lay on her side on the bed, like a proud black cat, expressing her last stubbornness to Irons.

"Hey... you want a ring?"

"Humph! I don't want it!"

"Wow... I'm actually planning to make one myself, but I don't know what color gemstone to use..."

"Huh!? You can do it yourself?"

"Learn it and you will be able to do it~"

"Wow...I...I want to be inlaid with a rose-red gem!"

"You don't want a ring?"

"...If I say I don't want it, then you won't give it to me!"

"Hahaha~"

Just like that, the small conflict that had just arisen disappeared in the midst of some banter, and the two returned to the main topic again.

"In addition to the above matters, there are actually two more things that need to be advanced."

"Which two?"

"First, it's time to march to Troll Ridge."

Hearing this, Margaret's expression suddenly brightened, and she looked eager to try!

"Oh~ Well... according to the time, Katarina's army should be arriving at Troll Ridge soon, right~ Hahaha~ Well, let me meet her in person~"

However, Irons poured a glass of cold water on Margaret: "Uh... Actually, I don't mean to let the army fight with Catalina."

"Hmm? If we don't go to war with Katarina, then why are we marching to Troll Ridge?"

"Observe."

"Observe?"

"Hmm...we should let those new soldiers under Engla see a more modern form of warfare."

"Woo..."

Margaret was confused by what she heard. Although she was a little unhappy that she couldn't go out to fight against Catalina, since it was arranged by Irons, she naturally didn't say much.

"Okay... let's just observe... what about the second one?"

"The spy problem."

As he spoke, Irons explained what happened when he met Constantine in the outer city.

“…Is that so…”

Margaret narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, stroked her chin and thought, muttering: "I came to the Demon King's City thirty years ago and established a powerful gang in the outer city...

Humph, the Demon King's Castle has been infiltrated by humans to this extent... How do you think we should deal with that Constantine, Irons?"

Facing the devil queen's question, Ains's mouth twisted, and his mind twisted along with it.

"He doesn't need to act in a hurry. Before, he was in the dark while I was in the light. Now, I am in the dark and he is in the light. The initiative is in our hands. Getting rid of him is the most wasteful means... We can ask him to "help" us do something~"

"Hmph~ You are so bad~"

"You hate it?"

"No...I just like your badness~"

"Hehe... Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. We have to investigate another spy."

"another?"

“Yes, when Constantine discovered my human identity, his first reaction was to guess that I was a spy.

Combined with the information he revealed later, he obviously mistook me for a Berman spy who was in contact with him.

So, the question is, this means that besides me, there is indeed a spy who will contact Constantine, so where is that real spy now?"

Chapter 163

A qualified spy

As a spy, Chris believes that intelligence is the key to success, so when performing any mission, he will ensure that his intelligence work is solid enough.

Only in this way can you make yourself invincible and keep yourself safe in a dangerous career as a spy.

However... no matter how much intelligence we have or how thorough and detailed our preparations are, there will always be situations where man proposes but God disposes, just like... now.

"Damn it, how come there are troops from the Duolun Empire in this damn place!? And so many of them!? What are they planning to do? Why didn't the Empire get the news?"

Chris hid between the boulders with a confused look on his face, observing the vast sea of ​​people marching across the Demon Plain.

Chris was shocked to see the huge army of the Duolun Empire and how it was able to maintain an orderly march with so many soldiers.

"The army of the Duolun Empire... can actually be so strict!? And these... and these earth dragons... they actually let the earth dragons wear such heavy armor?"

Chris looked at the marching status of the Duolun Empire in front of him with trepidation. Coming from a military background, he knew very well that training troops was a technical job, and every general who could train elite troops had some unique skills.

These generals would generally only use these unique skills on their own troops. After all, the soldiers under the generals were their political capital.

How can there be a talk of giving away the technology that has accumulated capital?

Therefore, even within the imperial army of the Berman Empire, those troops that are able to maintain strict discipline, line up neatly, and obey orders and commands are among the most elite in the legion.

As for the others, basically they are the ones who fail to perform well on the battlefield and are a drag on the team, even if they succeed, they are the babies who fill in the line.

And now the army that appeared before him...he couldn't tell which ones were the elites, or rather...he felt that all the members of this army were elites!

In his impression, the Duolun Empire has always been a marginal country that is not worthy of much attention.

Except for recent years, the Duolun Empire has become famous for its abundant food. Apart from the food, in Chris's impression, this country has always been in a state of no concern.

Even in the theory of conquest that was very popular among the people of Berman, the Duolun Empire was one of the small countries that was considered last in the conquest process.

Even in the minds of most ordinary people, for a small place like the Duolun Empire, the enemy will surely surrender as soon as our great Berman's heavenly soldiers arrive!

Although Chris himself is more cautious, he also believes that the Duolun Empire is just a stumbling block in the conquest of the Great Berman Empire.

just now……

This group of TM troops is not a stumbling block at all! This kind of formation, this kind of discipline, this kind of spirit, this is clearly one of the biggest threats to the Berman Empire among the southern countries!

Looking at the army in front of him, Chris bit his fingernails and was in a dilemma for a moment.

What should I do now? Should I continue my mission, ignore these troops, sneak into the Demon King's Castle, and communicate with the spies inside to obtain intelligence about the Demon King's Castle?

Or follow the army of the Duolun Empire, observe their movements, and continue to collect intelligence from them?
