Chapter 124 Exploitation is an art.

【Great, great! 】

[Shark tails are large and soft, and definitely taste much stronger than fins.]

[Lord, your vision is truly unique and has once again opened up a new direction for our thinking.]

The lustful goblin stood next to Gu An, flattering him in a very professional manner.

Campos knelt in the middle of the hall, his blood ran cold and his brain almost collapsed.

In the Mosan territory, the shark people, who are among the top three monster tribes, have never experienced such humiliation before, being treated as food.

Even the nobles of the Purple Moon Kingdom stationed in the Mosan territory, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the kingdom, did not dare to have similar intentions.

Frustration and anger are inevitable emotions, but in addition to that, what Campos now feels in his heart is more of an almost repressive fear.

This is because the two people chatting and laughing in front of them are really capable, and they may be able to make the entire shark tribe into sashimi.

If I don't find a solution quickly, I'll be put on the table!

Gu'an and the Lustful Goblin worked together to successfully open up Campos's "Ren and Du Meridians", causing him to instantly unleash the greatest potential since the birth of his brain.

The devil will never disappoint the monster.

After much thought, Campos finally thought of something that could save his life, then he prostrated himself on the ground and begged: [Apostle! ]

[We, the Shark People, are actually just a shell. Our bodies are full of bones. Our meat is bitter and astringent. It would be too offensive to let you enjoy it! ]

[To show the shark people's atonement and make up for the stupid mistakes they made before. ]

[I am willing to represent the attitude of the shark tribe leader and offer a 500-acre pond with abundant aquatic products and a demon orb! ]

After saying this, Campos carefully observed Gu An's expression and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

For monsters, food is absolutely an extremely valuable resource, real hard currency. Even immortal races hope to have as much food as possible.

The 500-acre pond with rich aquatic products is almost a quarter of the assets of the shark people. Giving it away like this will undoubtedly be an extremely serious impact on the development of the tribe.

However, at this point, you either give up food or become food. It's good enough to keep your life, so there is no reason to hesitate.

As for whether making such an important decision on his own would cause opposition from the tribesmen and the leader, Campos was too lazy to consider it.

As long as it can overcome the current difficulties first, anyone who dares to raise any objections will be allowed to meet the Apostle in person.

I believe that with these goblins' "cordial" greetings, the opponents will sooner or later understand their good intentions.

The "Five Hundred Acres Pond" is extremely valuable, and the "Demon Orb" is no less precious. It contains extremely pure "Demon Energy" that can help monsters quickly improve their levels and strengths, and there is even a chance that it will cause monsters to mutate.

With the background of the Shark People, they are not worthy of possessing such a magical treasure.

However, the elders of the "immortal race" from the outside world, in order to let the shark people act as the spearhead and carry out the task of testing and suppressing the goblin territory, used coercion and inducement to specially take out such a star as a deposit.

At that time, I thought that they were just goblins. Even if they had the power of the demon, they would not be very strong.

The "Immortal Races" did not want to acknowledge this year's "Demon Apostles". With their support, bullying some useless goblins should not be a big deal, so they gritted their teeth and agreed.

No one had expected this to be the outcome.

This time, the Demon Apostle not only captured an elven saint, but also became incredibly powerful.

No matter how bold ideas the immortal race has, they will never dare to support themselves openly.

The Shark People had to bear the consequences of their actions. They not only lost their wife but also their soldiers. It was a huge loss.

Campos felt so much pain and regret in his heart that he wanted to cry right there and then. He completely collapsed.

Even Hope, who was standing by, couldn't help but look surprised, shocked by the conditions offered by Campos.

This reaction completely fell into Gu An's trap.

He had already decided to target the shark people.

But suppressing a powerful tribe is a difficult technical task.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.

Killing them directly or plundering all the resources of the Shark People is too harsh and the intention is too obvious.

This will undoubtedly make other monster races uneasy and affect the prestige and ruling stability of the "Apostle of the Devil".

However, if the punishment is too light, it will neither achieve the purpose of suppressing the powerful tribes nor make other monsters feel fearful.

If you want to "sustainably exhaust the resources", it is very important to strike a balance and take it step by step.

Gu An didn't know the internal situation of the shark people, so he couldn't be sure what the maximum limit Campos could accept was.

However, as a "psychological master", he is the leader of the group in charge of many employees.

He certainly has plenty of ways to deal with it.

Just like now.

Since I don't know how to punish you appropriately, why don't I just let you say it yourself?
The concerted efforts of Gu'an and the Lustful Goblin were aimed at breaking through Campos' fragile psychological defenses and forcing him to make the greatest possible compensation.

Easy to control, great effect.

After the plan succeeded, the lustful goblin's mouth was grinning so hard that it almost reached his ears, which was very indecent.

It was still Gu An who managed his facial expressions well, with a sunny smile, bright yet gentle, making him look like a "model of a benevolent monarch".

He asked in a kind tone, showing great surprise and concern:

[Campos, you are so kind-hearted, which is truly commendable. You are worthy of your loyalty to the great demon god.]

[However, the five hundred acres of pond is of extraordinary value. In order to show your sincerity, you made such an important decision for the tribe without authorization. It won't be difficult for you, right? ]

Campos' eyes were firm, and he responded righteously: [There is absolutely no difficulty at all. This is the duty of the Shark Tribe! ]

After listening to its iron-clad speech, Hope showed an approving look. He was sincerely happy about the happy ending in which the crisis was resolved and the shark people were willing to be loyal to the Apostle and submit to the Demon Lord.

Gu An nodded with a look of “gratification” on his face, and commented with great “emotion”: [Good! Good! Good!]

[With the service of your loyal tribe, the glory of the Demon God will surely spread to every corner of the world! ]

[Since Campos is willing to make a sacrifice, I, the Lord, naturally cannot let him down in his quest for redemption.]

【Hope! 】

[The shark tribe's pond is inside the forest, so it is very inconvenient for my followers to take care of it. ]

[You will manage the 500-acre pond for this lord. As a reward for your labor, you can keep 30% of the food produced by the pond, and the rest will be escorted to the goblin territory regularly.]

【Would you like to do it for me? 】

Accept Campos' compensation with peace of mind.

Gu An very generously gave the "operation rights" of the pond to Hope.

On the one hand, this is because it is very inconvenient for the goblins to run into the forest every day to take care of the pond.

The intention on the other hand is simpler.

Loyalty is certainly a rare and precious quality, but the Hairy Dogs chose to pledge allegiance under the banner of "Apostle of the Devil".

The "real money" benefits are used to support the continuous growth of the Hairy Dog Clan, so as to subtly transfer their loyalty from the Demon God to Gu An himself.

Mutual benefit and common development are the simplest and most practical ways to win over supporters and consolidate rule.

It sounds simple, but from ancient times to the present, from humans to monsters, how many dictators are really willing to do it?
As the famous saying goes, exploitation is an art, and not everyone has the foresight and ability to maintain a balance.

The result was totally as expected. Hoppe, who was originally sitting on the chair, stood up excitedly when he heard the "unexpected wealth" coming towards him, and kowtowed respectfully again.

[The Apostle is so wise, generous and kind. The Hairy Dog Tribe has no way to repay your trust! ]

[Hope swears in the name of the leader's son that the Hairy Dog Tribe will always be loyal to the Apostle. If there is even the slightest falsehood, we are willing to sink into the abyss forever and turn into nothingness! ]

Hope's tone was extremely excited, and he didn't even need to express his gratitude in words. You could tell how happy he was from the way every hair on his body stood up.

Food is extremely important to monsters.

Especially in the barren forests, it is extremely precious in today's tense situation where the world is caught in war.

The Shark People occupy the pond and are the richest of the three major families. The Red Horned People reproduce slowly and have fewer monsters, so even if food is scarce, they have enough to survive.

Compared with the other two tribes, the situation of the Hairy Dog Tribe is much more difficult. Not only are there many monsters in the tribe, but there is also no stable source of food.

This troublesome problem is a huge rock blocking the development path of the Hairy Dog Clan.

Now Gu An has rewarded them with the "operating rights" of a 500-acre pond. Although they can only extract 30% of the profits, it is more than enough to solve the tribe's urgent needs.

So how could Hope not be filled with gratitude?

However, if there are monsters that are happy, there will naturally be monsters that are sad.

After hearing the result of Gu'an's handling, Campos was once again completely dumbfounded, and the pain in his heart increased.

A five-hundred-acre pond!
It would be fine to give it to the Apostle.

Anyway, sooner or later it will leave the Mosan territory and go to a larger area to develop, and the Shark People may be able to recycle it in the future.

But if we give the 500-acre pond to the Hairy Dog Tribe, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and it will never come back!

Campos closed his eyes, and his originally blue skin turned a little dark purple because of being too sad.

What was even more painful was that after it showed such a sad expression, Gu An deliberately asked: [What? ]

[Campos, do you have any opinion? ]

As Gu An asked the question, the gold medal fighter Yuanyi coincidentally turned his attention to Campos.

Although it was a simple gaze without any sadness or joy, Campos felt as if he was on the edge of an abyss and couldn't stop foaming at the mouth.

[No, no, no, no! ]

[Apostle, you are so generous and kind, I admire you so much, how could I have any objection! ]

[The Shark People will definitely implement every decision you make seriously! 】

Confirmed that Campos had no objection.

Gu An was in a very good mood. With a wave of his hand, the masochistic goblin obediently brought a chair.

[General Campos, please take a seat! ]

The Masochist Goblin is a "Shield Guardian" and is huge in size, like a nut ball. When he speaks, his voice is as loud as a bell and he is very blunt.

Campos got a startle, then stood up in shock and sat down with Hope.

The Hairy Dog Tribe and the Shark People Tribe have been captured, but there is still one "Red Horn Tribe" that has not been dealt with.

Gu An naturally would not forget this piece of fat meat.

He pointed at Rudney, who was lying on the ground like a pile of rotten meat, and asked knowingly: [What is this?]

[Could it be a gift from the Hairy Dogs or Shark People? ]

[This is a bit rude. Since it is a gift, why do you need to prepare a piece of rotten meat? It is really an eyesore. ]

Hearing this description, Tia and Alia couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then the goblins also started to grin, and the scene suddenly became very cheerful.

It’s just a pity for “Rudney” who still has a little bit of clarity. He is so ashamed that he wishes he could find a hole to crawl into.

It wanted to say something, but with broken bones all over its body and its lungs severely injured, it couldn't muster the slightest bit of strength and could only complain in its heart.

Bullying the cow is too much!

Bullying the cow is too much!

Seeing that the ridicule was almost over, the lustful goblin played the role of a "good man" and took the initiative to explain: "My Lord, this is a representative of the Red Horn Clan. Because he tried to force his way into the territory, he was beaten by Miss Tobiichi and became what he is now."

Hearing this, Gu An frowned and pretended to be "angry": [Yuichi, what's wrong with you? ]

[These monsters are representatives of various tribes who came to pay homage. Even if their behavior is inappropriate, a minor punishment will suffice. How could you be so harsh? ]

[If this gets out, won't other races think that I'm a cruel and tyrannical leader?]

[From today on, you will be punished to move to a room next to the prison. Now hurry over and heal the injuries of this Red Horn warrior.]

The room next to the prison is actually where Lelian lives, but if it is expressed in another way, it sounds more like "punishment".

Regarding Gu An's decision, Tia was first filled with ecstasy, as she could finally have the "master's room" all to herself again.

Alia frowned, feeling very surprised. She didn't expect that the "sex maniac" would drive such an important bodyguard away from him.

Hope nodded in admiration, feeling that the new "Apostle" was truly upright and fair in his actions. Following such a leader, the Hairy Dog Tribe would definitely be able to embark on a path of incomparable glory.

As for Campos.

When it saw that Gu An could punish Yuanyi so casually, it became more certain of its previous thoughts.

With such high prestige and the ability to easily dispatch powerful men in the legendary realm, the true strength of this new "Lord Apostle" is definitely terrifying, and he is most likely a powerful man in the extraordinary realm.

terror.

so horrible.

While Campos was secretly terrified, he was also very grateful that he did not act like that idiot Rudney and act rashly and impulsively attack the goblin territory directly.

After all, this great apostle even punished his own subordinates, so would he easily let off the offending criminals?
It goes without saying that the price the Red Horn Tribe has to pay will definitely be more painful than that of the Shark People.

Thinking of this, Campos looked at Rudney, who was lying on the ground in a miserable state, with his eyes full of pity.

At the same time, the lustful goblin, who was always good at guessing the "holy will", had the same idea as Campos.

The hideous smile on its face became even more intense. It secretly admired the lord's ruthless methods, and actually thought of using this method to forcibly raise the price of "atonement".

High!

It’s really high!

You are worthy of being the Lord!
Each party has its own little thoughts.

And as the focus of the topic, what was Tobiichi's reaction?

Of course, as expected, there was no reaction.

She was like a newborn baby, standing quietly beside Gu An, pure and beautiful.
