Chapter 756: The Demonic Traitor of Shura Kingdom
"The world demands post-war reparations from us."
"What do you guys think?"
Emperor Gui frowned and asked the generals for their opinions, obviously in a very bad mood.
"what?!"
“They actually dare to claim compensation?”
Man Xieyin was the first to jump out and say, "Emperor, we must not agree to this, otherwise the Shura Kingdom will lose face!"
Emperor Ghost was silent for two seconds, then said gloomily, "Man Xieyin, the day before yesterday, the four of us plus hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by one man and one sword from the other side. We have lost all our dignity."
In that battle, among the demons present, Man Xieyin performed the worst.
However, Emperor Gui did not say this, because the performance of the other three demons was not much better at that time.
What's more, in the end, it was thanks to Man Xieyin, who was the least injured, who commanded the group of demons and monsters that they were able to retreat successfully. Just for this reason, she should not be blamed too much.
"Emperor, I don't agree with compensation either!"
Dangshenmie also spoke up to state his position: "Even if we can't defeat that person, the worst that can happen is that we can just withdraw our troops. They can't chase us all the way to the Demon World, right?"
"Dang Shenmie is right!"
Man Xieyin added: "If they really dare to chase us, then it will be our home ground. We have the advantage of terrain and may be able to wash away today's shame!"
Regardless of the enemy's claims, just return home?
It is indeed a good idea!
what?You say this is hooliganism?joke!
We withdrew our troops by our own ability, why should we pay compensation? !
Emperor Ghost turned to look at the last two demons: "Chi Yantian, Sha Mozi, what do you think?"
Compared to Man Xieyin and Dang Shenmie, these two demons have higher IQs and calmer personalities, and they might have some brilliant ideas.
Seeing that he was being nominated, Chi Yantian did not answer directly, but asked instead: "May I ask the Emperor, what does the human world want us to compensate for?"
The principle of 'the defeated party pays compensation' also applies in the demon world.
In the past, the Shura Kingdom and the Xiongyue Jiang Dynasty had fought countless times and had experienced defeat. At that time, they had only two ways of compensation: one was to cede land, and the other was to pay money.
This is also the claim demanded by the victorious party in most battles.
However, now that the human world is the victor and is seeking compensation from the Shura Empire, it is definitely impossible for it to ask for the land.
After all, the two sides are not in the same territory, so it is useless to ask for territory.
Although there is a space channel for travel now, that channel may be closed at any time, so the most likely possibility is to ask the Shura Kingdom to pay compensation.
But the problem is, the currency used in the demon world and the human world is not the same!Even the way they do business in daily life is very different.
In this case, what does the human world want to get from their Shura kingdom?"Minerals, rare treasures, and exotic treasures."
Emperor Ghost handed over the letter and said, "There are quite a few of them. Take a look for yourselves."
Although the currencies in the human world and the demon world are different, and the types and functions of rare treasures are also different, minerals such as gold, silver, copper and iron are hard currencies and are useful everywhere.
Chi Yantian took the claim list and found that the content on it was indeed consistent with what Emperor Gui said. It directly stated various conditions, including: xx tons of gold ore, xx tons of silver ore, xx boxes of rare treasures...
All these things added up are almost enough to pay for three years of tax revenue for the Shura Kingdom.
Of course, it is one thing for the victorious party to ask for a high price, but it is another thing whether it can be fulfilled in the end. It is worth noting that the letter specifically stated at the end: if the number of rare treasures is insufficient, metal minerals can be used to make up for it.
Chi Yantian narrowed his eyes and vaguely realized that something was wrong.
Because the Shura Kingdom is indeed rich in mineral resources, otherwise it would not be able to support such a large army.
"Although this amount seems large, it is not impossible for the Shura Nation to take it out. Moreover, even if it really takes it out, it will not affect the foundation. At most, the time for recuperation will be extended by another two to three years."
"The question is, why would the world seek compensation in this way?"
"Unless they know that there are metal veins and rich mineral resources in the Shura Kingdom!"
After hearing what Chi Yantian said, all the demons present suddenly became enlightened.
"Chi Yantian, are you saying that there is a traitor from the demon clan in the human world, and that demon knows very well what is and is not in the Shura Kingdom, so he wrote this list?"
Chi Yantian nodded: "That should be it!"
"Who is it? Who is that traitor?!"
Man Xieyin immediately gritted her teeth, wishing she could eat the traitor that Chi Yantian mentioned alive.
In her opinion, the reason why Shura Kingdom was defeated this time was definitely because of that demon behind the scenes!
"I have no idea."
Chi Yantian was silent for two seconds, then shook his head and said, "After all, all this is just my guess. Maybe there is no traitor at all."
Although Chi Yantian had concealed it well, Emperor Gui still saw through his inconsistency at a glance and directly said words that he believed were not conducive to the unity of the Shura Kingdom.
"This move obviously means they don't want to see us continue to fight with the human world. At the same time, they are also very clear about the situation in the demon world and don't want the Shura Kingdom to be damaged too much, so as to be destroyed by the enemy on the other side of the Sinking Sea..."
"There is only one person who has such an understanding of the resources of Shura Kingdom and will do this!"
The next moment, Emperor Ghost turned his gaze to the corner.
"Sha Mozi, have you sensed the aura of your senior brother, the Evil God General, during this period of time?"
As soon as this name came out, Chi Yantian sighed secretly, Man Xieyin was stunned, Dang Shenmie's eyes widened, and Sha Mozi in the corner trembled all over.
Sha Mozi broke out in a cold sweat: "This..."
"Ok?"
Under the watchful eyes of Emperor Ghost and the Three Lords, Sha Mozi dared not lie: "…Replying to Emperor Lord, during the battle the day before yesterday, I did faintly sense the aura of the Evil God General."
Emperor Gui closed his eyes speechlessly, his heart finally hanging in the air.
Dangshenmie and Manxieyin were instantly enraged: "The traitor of Shura Kingdom... is actually the Evil God General?!"
"There is no conclusive evidence yet, so don't jump to conclusions."
Chi Yantian said this and secretly glanced at Sha Mozi.
If we now directly list the Evil God General as a traitor of the Shura Kingdom and even put him on a wanted list, given the relationship between the Evil God General and Sha Mozi, Sha Mozi is likely to directly surrender to the enemy and rebel.
This is very unfavorable for the Shura Kingdom.
You know, of the Emperor Ghost’s most elite vanguard forces - the seven major armies, only Sha Mozi is left.
After the battle in the human world, the Shura Kingdom suffered a great loss of vitality. After returning, it might have to face the attack of the Xiongyue Jiang Dynasty. The next step is to use people, and the devil must not be pushed out.
Emperor Gui and Chi Yantian could think of such a thing, so they did not say that directly, and they could not let the brainless Man Xieyin and Dang Shenmie make the final conclusion of the matter.
