Chapter 24

Leticia stared pitifully at Stone Golem, who was caught chewing at her words.

“I’m really disappointed. I was so excited to hear that I was going to war after 7 years since I came here! Why do you keep Halstead here with him right in front of you?”

Look, this is the demon summoned by the Lord.

Stone Golem soldiers are all busy exchanging glances. One of them opened his mouth to see if he could resist the pressure.

“You’ll have to stay a little longer to start a war….”

He quickly changed his words when he realized that he had inadvertently been respectful.

“……you’ll have to stay a little longer.”

“Really?”

Leticia gave them a good look.

“Then you guys should make me happy.”

Stone Golem warriors frowned. They looked at her as if they didn’t know what she was talking about.

Leticia looked at Alexa instead of answering.

“Butler.”

“Yes.”

Alexa put her hand in her arms with a perfectly expressionless face. Then she took out a purple silk pouch.

Clank.

When she opened her purse, a dazzling gold coin appeared. She had 100 denias for the castle’s emergency funds.

“…..!”

The faces of the Stone Golem soldiers changed dramatically.

The beasts are greedy beings. They are born with the nature of cramming food into their mouth even if their stomach explodes. They couldn’t control their greed in front of money.

However, there are obstacles now.

She is a devil that is right in front of their eyes.

The Stone Golem alternately looked at the money and Leticia. They then asked her.

“Why are you suddenly taking out money? What are you going to do with that money?”

“The money I spend in this world means nothing to me.”

Leticia threw out some gold coins.

The stone soldiers stormed and bumped each other.

Leticia enjoyed the corniness. Then she said again.

“But I think we can have fun with this. The fun part that a top demon enjoys.”

“What’s that?”

Leticia grabbed some golden coins with her fingers instead of answering. Stone Golem’s eyes only followed her fingers.

“You have to guess the outcome of the fight in advance and I’ll put you all on either side. The one who guesses the result gets paid proportionally to the amount he bets. But there’s no way uncivilized animals like you have money, right? I’ll just let you have this money.”

“Hmm?”

The story could not have been more tempting.

[sports gambling]

It is a play that fits the physiology of the beasts. Everyone seemed to be attracted by this fresh culture she had introduced.

Everyone was in flutter. Some soldiers asked urgently.

“What kind of fighting?”

“Of course…”

Leticia flicked her finger again. The soldiers who had fallen on the floor sprang up.

“You and the soldiers of Halstead are fighting.”

“Hmm?”

The Stone Golem were surprised.

“There are five over my side. There are 100 people on your side.

“What does it matter? Where are you all going to bet on?”

“It’s us, of course.”

There is nothing to say.

The Stone Golem Army all bet on their victory. Well, as she had said, it is natural.

“Then let’s do it!”

Leticia raised one hand towards them, who were already in a hurry to pull out their swords.

“Wait. Put the weapon down. You are all fast!”

They had their stances ready after she finished what she had said.

100 to 5.

It is already a mess just by thinking.

One side are humans and the other one are demons, but the other side is covered with dirt and dust. It is hard to identify the enemy.

So the Stone Golem just jostled their fists.

Poof! Boom! Whenever she heard the sound, the rock broke down helplessly. The power of these stone beings are enormous.

What if there was a human who received those rock’s fists?

Just imagining it is horrible. No matter how strong a man is, he will be crushed like a pudding.

“Ack! Euck!”

The soldiers were told to pretend to be properly welcomed and to avoid it.

They followed the instructions faithfully. They screamed hard and rolled themselves.

Leticia shouted.

The first one is down! If you knock down four more people, 100 people can share 100 denias!”

The clear recitation made the Stone Golem’s eyes glow. “Now! If you knock down three more people, 100 people can share 100 denias!”

Leticia kept shouting.

“Only two more left to knock down and you get 100 denias!”

“There’s one more left!!!”

There is a confusion that could not be seen with their eyes open. The atmosphere heated up between the demons.

“Where is it! Where’s the last one!”

“If I catch him, I’ll get 100 denias!”

“What are you talking about? Why is 100 denias your share? 100 people share 100 denias!”

“That’s right! 100 people should share it! All the stone people bet that we’ll win!”

There is a great deal of meandering.

With 100 divided by 100 on the verge of victory, the simple calculation came to everyone’s mind. A strange atmosphere began to waver.

Leticia winked furtively.

Bastian slipped away a lump of metal. It was a quick and exquisite workmanship that even a ghost could ever know.

Slap!

“Huh? Did you just hit me?”

Stone Golem’s eyes were filled with madness after being hit by a lump of metal. They knocked down their own colleague who was next to them all at once. Their colleague’s head broke and soon lost their breath.

“Now 99 people have 100 denias.”

Leticia’s words drove them all crazy.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

They screamed at each other.

These things were all crazy about their greediness.

They punched each other for gold coins even before she told them about sports gambling. It would be even more surprising if they had a camaraderie, if they killed one person, their share would increase.

Everyone’s eyes were turned on that fact. They all showed their cruel temper against their own colleagues. They picked up the weapon they had thrown on the floor and stabbed it in the back of their neck, the vital point of a Stone Golem.

“What are you doing?”

“We’re not doing this on our own?”

A small number of Stone Golem soldiers who remained sane were the first to die.

It was a scene of a slaughter.

Dead, kill, killing, being killed, and fled… …and there is a scene that they couldn’t really understand. A runaway Stone Golem would suddenly return and smash their colleague’s head as if they were possessed. This is the nature of the demon race.

There were only a few left in a flash. A Stone Golem uttered, whose legs were broken.

“Stop it! Let’s split the four of us!”

“That’s ridiculous!”

Fists flew in from all sides.

They couldn’t control the madness once it exploded.

It is as if they were always looking forward to putting swords in each other’s throats.

In the end, even the last one fell with a knife in the neck of their same race.

Thump.

The convulsed body slowly stopped on the floor.

The soldiers who were hiding safely got up. Leticia and three Grandmothers also came forward.

Everyone exchanged glances.

Did the trick work?

Oh no! It worked so well.

They had wiped out the Stone Golem without even touching them.

Their hearts are pounding at that fact. The bodies of stone golems piled up like mountains and looked like stone towers as if they are commemorating their victory.

Leticia looked back at the soldiers.

“Just make sure there aren’t any survivors. Because what happened here shouldn’t leak out.”

“Yes, Madam!”

The five soldiers carefully checked carefully as if they could not believe it.

There were no survivors. The Stone Golems were also great warriors.

“They’re all dead.”

The soldiers finished checking.

Alas, they’ve done it. Five soldiers have managed to exterminate the Stone Golem Army.

Everyone lost their words for a moment, with all their hearts being moved.
