The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Business (2)

Meanwhile, the other dispatched mercenaries were in the midst of battle with the Pigeons.

First, the 9th Rank mercenaries.

“Kill them all!”

“It’s time for a massacre!”

“Come on, you bastards!”

They were overwhelming the 9th Rank Pigeons.

“W-What? Our strength seems similar, but why are we being pushed back?”

“Damn it, they sent reinforcements…… How cheap.”

“These bastards…… They’re better fighters than the bats we used to deal with.”

The reason why the mercenaries were overwhelming the Pigeons despite being of the same rank was simple.

Th i s w a s c op i e d fr o m k i ngm tl .o r g
An overwhelming difference in experience.

The mercenaries went to the front lines every day, accumulating abundant combat experience.

The Pigeons had various duties and only occasionally went to the front lines, resulting in less combat experience.

In other words, this gap in combat experience led to the current situation.

“Are they really the same rank as us……?”
T h i s w a s co p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l. o r g

“I thought mercenaries were nothing special, but they’re skilled?”

T h i s w a s c o pi e d f ro m k i n g m t l . o r g
The demons who were in the same formation were also surprised.

While they were standing blankly in the back, watching in a daze.

“Retreat!”

“Damn it, run!”

“It’s impossible for us now!”

The Pigeons started to flee with their tails between their legs.

“It’s so satisfying to see the Pigeons running away.”

“I knew it from the way they were acting cocky, relying on their numbers.”

The demons who were watching from behind felt a sense of exhilaration at the sight of the Pigeons running away.
Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r om k i n g m t l. o rg

It was a bit disappointing to miss out on catching them, but they thought this was enough to be satisfied with.

“Follow them!”

“Don’t let them escape!”

“Kill them all!”

“Leave no regrets!”

However, the mercenaries’ thoughts seemed different, as they tenaciously chased after the fleeing Pigeons.

Thud!

Slash!

Swoosh!

And they stabbed various weapons into the Pigeons’ backs, ending their lives.

“Ugh!”

“Gah!”

“Cough!”

The Pigeons tried to shake off the persistent mercenaries, but their strength had increased in the meantime, making that difficult as well.

About 5 hours passed.

The Pigeons were completely wiped out by the mercenaries.

“Heheh, this is why I love killing Pigeons.”

“My demonic energy has increased significantly. The next promotion exam shouldn’t be a problem.”

The mercenaries were satisfied with their newfound strength.

“Good work.”

A demon approached them, bowing his head and greeting them.

“What do you mean ‘good work’? We’re just doing our job for DP. We simply earned our DP.”

One of the mercenaries waved his hand dismissively, saying they had only done what was expected.

“You’re even humble. You must be an incredible individual.”

“Haha, thank you for the compliment.”

The demon glanced at the mercenary and then.

“……By the way, you seem to be the same rank as us, but how is it possible for you to be so strong?”

He subtly inquired about the secret to their strength.

It was a rather rude question.

It was a question with a clear intention to steal the fruits of the demon’s labor, so normally it wouldn’t be strange for a fight to break out, but.

“””Hmm.”””

Instead of getting angry, the mercenaries exchanged glances.

“Haha, the reason we’re strong is simple. It’s because we underwent Ranger training.”

They answered the question in a businesslike tone.

“Ranger…… training?”

The demon expressed his curiosity about the training method he had never heard of before.

“It’s a training method created by our 72nd ranked Demon Lord-nim. It strengthens both the mind and body.”

The mercenary kindly explained.

“Such a training method exists……!”

The demon showed a deep interest in the seemingly effective training method.

“It’s overseen by our Demon Lord-nim, so outsiders can’t participate. However, if another Demon Lord-nim makes a proposal, things might be a little different.”

“Through the Demon Lord-nim……”

“If you want to become stronger both mentally and physically, I recommend suggesting it to your Demon Lord-nim.”

“Ah, yes! Thank you!”

The demon, who didn’t expect them to share such valuable information so readily, repeatedly thanked the mercenary.

The only thing that bothered him was.

“You’re welcome. We’re all demons here, we should help each other out.”

The mercenary’s face looked so wicked.

‘Well, he’s a demon, so it’s natural for him to look wicked.’

It was a bit unsettling, but he thought it was just because of his naturally fierce appearance and shook off the feeling.

‘I should make a suggestion as soon as I return to the Demon Lord’s Castle.’

And the demon decided to persuade the other demons to make a suggestion to receive this Ranger training.

“We have to go to another planet, so we’ll be on our way.”

“Ah, yes! Please go ahead!”

Thus, the dispatched mercenaries said their goodbyes to the demons and left the planet.

At that moment, the other dispatched mercenaries.

“Aren’t you curious about how I became so strong?”

“The secret to my strength is nothing special. It’s because I received training created by my Demon Lord-nim.”

“If you undergo that training, you’ll become several times stronger.”

Regardless of their rank, they were diligently promoting Ranger training according to Jung Minwoo’s orders.

Jung Minwoo had only expected a casual mention, but the demons put in an unexpected amount of effort into promoting it.

As a result, their skills were outstanding, so they gained credibility regarding the training, and the number of demons who wanted to receive the training increased significantly.

T h i s w as c o pied fr om ki n g mt l . o rg
In his office, the 62nd ranked Ballack received a report that all the Pigeons stationed on the planet had been wiped out.

“The effect is certainly remarkable.”

Actually, when he learned that the mercenaries had been dispatched, he thought it would be a gain even if they just chased away the Pigeons.

However, as if mocking his thoughts, the mercenaries produced results that exceeded expectations.

“Complete annihilation of the Pigeons…… In that case, I’m willing to use this service frequently.”

Before, he had felt that the DP cost was quite high, but now he felt it was quite cheap.

“If this is the case, I feel like I can be a bit more aggressive with my invasions.”

If he could supplement his lack of manpower with mercenaries, he thought he could quickly invade planets and increase his numbers exponentially.

“I need to seriously consider this.”

He decided to discuss this matter with his executives and make a decision.

“Then, shall I summon the executives right away?”

Ballack was about to call the demon waiting outside his office to summon the executives when.

Knock, knock

“Excuse me.”

A demon knocked on the door and entered the office.

“What is it? I believe you have finished all your tasks.”

Ballack looked at the demon and asked about the purpose of his visit.

“Well, the demons who returned from the invasion have made a suggestion.”

“A suggestion? Is it a matter of such importance that it needs to be addressed right now?”

“Well…… The number of demons who made the suggestion is quite large.”

“How many are there?”

He wondered how many demons could have made a suggestion.

“Well…… 35,456 demons made the suggestion.”

The number was too large.

“……Did some kind of incident occur?”

Ballack asked, with a puzzled expression, why so many demons had made a suggestion.

“All 35,456 of them suggested that they want to undergo a training called ‘Ranger training’.”

“Ran…… What?”

“Ranger training.”

The demon scratched his head and replied about the suggestion.

“Ha!”

At the mention of wanting to receive some unheard-of training, Ballack burst into laughter in disbelief.

“What is that?”

“It’s a training method created by the 72nd ranked Demon Lord. They say it can rapidly increase one’s mental strength and power.”

T h i s was c o pie d fr o m k i n gm t l .o r g
“Hmm…… Is that so? How did they find out about it?”

“They learned about it while talking to the mercenaries.”

T his w as c o p i e d f r o m ki ng m t l . o r g
He was a bit puzzled by the significant difference in strength despite being of the same rank, but he understood it somewhat after hearing about this Ranger training.

‘Their strength increased through training.’

If his subordinates received this training and grew stronger, it would be a tremendous increase in power.

‘I should make a proposal.’

There was a high chance of being rejected, but it wouldn’t cost him any DP to make a proposal, so he decided to ask.

“Alright. I’ll ask the 72nd ranked Demon Lord if we can share that training method.”

“Thank you.”

“You may leave now.”

“Yes!”

After the demon left.

“Then, shall I write a letter……?”

Ballack placed a parchment on his desk and picked up a fountain pen.

It would have been fastest to contact him through an artifact, but.

“We’re not that close yet.”

At a stage where they hadn’t built a close relationship, it was customary for Demon Lords to write letters to each other.

“To the 72nd ranked Jung Minwoo Demon Lord-nim, thanks to the mercenaries, we were able to complete a successful invasion. As I was invading planets, the thought suddenly occurred to me that I would like to invade the Celestial Realm someday and bring darkness upon it. And……”

Ballack, who had grumbled about Jung Minwoo’s long-winded letter before, was now writing a long-winded letter himself.

“Writing letters is a chore too. To avoid writing letters, I need to build a closer relationship with him.”
T h is wa s c o p ie d f r o m k in g m tl. or g

Somehow, Ballack managed to finish writing the letter and ordered his subordinate to send it to Jung Minwoo’s Demon Lord’s Castle.

That night.

Jung Minwoo was in his office, checking the letter sent by Ballack.

“Oh, the promotional effect is quite remarkable.”

Regarding the content about wanting to share the Ranger training method.

“Sharing is not an option. This is also part of the business.”

Jung Minwoo wrote a reply saying that he couldn’t share the training method, unfortunately.

“Instead of sharing, I can provide the training.”

He made a counter-proposal, offering to conduct the training himself and including a request for a large sum of DP.

“The start is looking good.”

Jung Minwoo had the Head Butler send the reply and then.

“Since there’s a high chance Ballack will accept the proposal, I should think about the training grounds.”

He decided to consider the location for conducting the Ranger training.

“Should I conduct it at the existing location?”

He pondered for a moment, but he decided that it would be better to continue at the existing location rather than creating a new one.

“Ranger training doesn’t require much investment in facilities, so there’s no loss in relocating, but there’s a time issue.”

On the Dainik planet, where the training was conducted, 200 days there equated to 10 days in the Demon World, so he could easily extend the training period without any burden.

“But if I do it in the Demon World, it will take a lot of time.”

Conducting it in the Demon World would consume too much time, resulting in a loss.

“It’s better to proceed at the existing location without relocating. Since I’m getting paid DP for it, I should put a bit more effort into the facilities than before.”

If he told Elvis, the emperor of the Dainik planet, separately, he would take care of the preparations.

“The location is settled, so now I need to choose the most important part, the training instructors.”

He decided to select the training instructors from the demons belonging to his Demon Lord’s Castle who had Ranger training experience.

The reason for choosing demons with Ranger training experience was simple.

It was so they could push the trainees even harder.

“I’ll have to post a separate notice to recruit them.”

He expected many demons to apply once he posted the notice.

“But since they’re going to be instructors, I should give them a hefty DP reward.”

Training for 200 days was easier said than done, it was actually quite a difficult task, so he decided to give them a generous DP reward.

Thi s w as c o p i e d f r o m k i n gm t l. o r g
And the next day.

As Jung Minwoo expected, Ballack expressed his desire to undergo Ranger training, offering to pay a large sum of DP.
