Enemy of my enemy is my friend

Liam looked at the bunch of demons, clearly all sweating and shaking in nervousness. "Hmmm? Did something happen?" He asked as he started to walk over to the garrison hall.

"That… that…" The demons stuttered, exchanging looks with each other. They did not know why but the current Liam was so much more powerful than the person they had seen before.

"Did something happen?" Liam frowned, repeating his question again.

Now the demons no longer dared to not answer him and one stepped forward to quickly blurt out. 

"Leader, we have handed out all the rewards for the different group leaders and soldiers and we are about to run out of resources."

"We also need to pay tribute to the King in a few days." The demon directly brought out the main issue without hiding anything. 

One way or the other, Liam was anyways going to know about it, so he couldn't hide it and make things worse. He bit the bullet and became the bearer of the bad news.
