Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Chapter 215 Negotiation
After capturing the lazy Demon King alive, the four Demon Kings sat around the table.

Seeing that their expressions became serious, even the older girl was no exception, Lin En immediately cheered up.

"From late yesterday to early this morning, the transfer of power in the Lustful Demon Nation was not smooth. However, they didn't care much about wealth. Before I left, they had already prepared hundreds of warehouses of treasures for tribute."

After everyone sat down, Phantom was the first to speak with a serious expression, his hands on the table.

Logically, the Lustful Demon Kingdom where she was located should have been the easiest to deal with. After all, most of her citizens and even the powerful were obsessed with carnal desires and not with wealth and power. However, in actual practice, she faced great obstacles. Of the twenty-five existing legions in the Lustful Demon Kingdom, only less than ten legion commanders were willing to hand over their military power, and this included the three legion commanders on her side.

"My situation is similar to Phantom's. They're willing to pay tribute to wealth, but they're unwilling to hand over power. This is especially true with the military. Among the thirty-two legion commanders, only five are willing to hand over power."

The furious demon king Sara was so angry that she wanted to slam the table while speaking, but when she saw Hill sitting on it, she finally held back.

The situations of the others, such as the Kingdom of Jealousy, the Kingdom of Gluttony, and the Kingdom of Sloth, are similar. It is difficult to take over the political and military power, but they are willing to give away wealth.

The last two remaining demon kingdoms were slightly different. The powerful people of the arrogant demon kingdom only handed over a small amount of property, and as for power, they held it tightly in their hands and did not hand over even a little bit, being stubborn.

The Greedy Demon Kingdom is even worse. They are unwilling to hand over even their meager possessions, and all of them look like misers. They also hold on to various powers and refuse to hand them over, as if they know that once they lose the power, they will lose their wealth.

"Let's just wait and see for now. Since I've given you a deadline, we still have to keep our word. Tomorrow is the deadline. Anyone who doesn't hand over their rights or property by then will be completely eliminated, leaving no one behind!"

Lin En listened to the reports of the four demon kings and the faint snoring of one demon king, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, and at the same time asked them to be patient.

It was expected that the progress would not be smooth. After all, who would be willing to give up a huge amount of wealth and the power in their hands?

The ultimate goal of these seven demon kings is probably to seize the supreme power of the entire demon world and win the battle of faith to protect the demon god, and they are willing to pay any price for this.

Lin En's goal is the stability of the two worlds, and for this he can help the seven demon kings achieve their goals.

The key point for the two parties to cooperate is that their goals may seem inconsistent, but their operations are very consistent.

Because one of them is to "eliminate dissidents" and kill or cripple the followers of the Destruction Demon.

The current situation is actually not so bad. At least it gives them a reason to kill those demons who disobey the emperor's orders and eliminate them physically.

However, this would naturally be great for Lin En, but for the seven demon kings, it would be better to make these demons obedient.

After all, dead demons couldn't convert and provide faith for the Guardian Demon God. If too many were killed, the Guardian Demon God wouldn't gain much faith. While they might win the battle of faith, winning by nearly annihilating their opponents meant little gain. Regardless, the demons in the Demon Realm were mostly Abyssal Demons and Abyssal Families, not vassals of anyone. Most of them were merely shallow believers in the Destruction Demon God. His true loyalists were the Purgatory Demons and the Abyss Demons.

For the Purgatory Demons and the Yellow Spring Demons, of course, killing is the main approach, with persuasion to surrender as a supplement. However, for the Abyss Demons whose tendencies are not so serious, it would be best to recruit them if possible.

"Wouldn't that be excessive killing? After all, the number of obedient demons might be less than 15%."

When Phantom heard what Lin En said, her face became a little stiff. She felt that it would be more appropriate to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. Judging from the character of many demons, as long as they were killed and blood flowed like a river, they would admit their mistakes and correct their mistakes. It was not impossible that they would turn to the guardian demon god.

"Then can I take back what I said? I said they would be killed without mercy. If a large number of them still survive, where will my dignity as the Demon Emperor be?"

Lin En knocked heavily on the table, causing the lazy demon king who was dozing on the table to frown in his sleep. Then he nudged Lin En's hand with his head as if sleepwalking, as if to tell him to stop knocking.

"But if we estimate based on the current progress, it's very likely that up to 70% of the demons will eventually engage in varying degrees of disobedience. Do we really want to kill 70% of our own kind?"

The jealous Demon King Aya also interjected at this time. Her estimate was still optimistic. In fact, it was very likely that more than 70% of the demons would make small moves. She was also worried that the killing would be too heavy and her gains would be too little.

But what Lin En said was right. He, the Demon Emperor, had just ascended the throne. If his first order failed, it would be a huge blow to his authority, which was something they did not want to see.

Moreover, they knew in their hearts that Lin En's words of killing without mercy were necessary, because if those guys were given room to maneuver, the situation today would definitely not be like this. Instead, 100% of the powerful demons would choose to disobey orders or wait and see, and it would be almost impossible for any of them to surrender voluntarily.

"That's not the case. We only killed powerful demons, at least level 500. We didn't kill your civilians, so how could we kill % of your kind? I think even % is enough."

What the Jealous Demon King said sounded a bit exaggerated to Lin En. Although the hatred between the Miracle World and the Demon Clan was as deep as the sea, he would not destroy their clan right away. At least he would kill the leading demon first.

"Well, I think the Demon Emperor is right. It would be better to kill all those fence-sitters without leaving a single one alive, to save a lot of trouble."

The furious demon king, Sara, is also a straightforward demon. She hates tedious and troublesome things the most. Is there anything that can't be solved with fists? If it can't be solved, it's simply because her fists are not big enough.

"That's right, it's so troublesome. I didn't sleep well last night."

The lazy and dreamy Demon King Hill also muttered a few words, expressing her approval of Lin En and the Wrathful Demon King. She was the one who was most reluctant to deal with affairs.

Who cares about them? It’s up to them to pay or not. If they pay, they live. If they don’t, they die. Don’t let it affect your sleep, which is your top priority.
