Helping or enjoying?

In a nearby place, several men wearing red clothes were kneeling in front of a man, who was sitting on a throne like a king. The one closest to the throne stood up and spoke:

" Leader, one of our snake beast have been killed, I think we could capture something big this time. "

" Good, how long before we need to give sacrifices to that darn face? " the leader asked in a hoarse voice.

" There's still a week before we need to give the promised sacrifices in the red tree. Only then we could get our hands on such treasures. " the vice leader said, rubbing his palms together.

" Fine, go check that area, I wonder what kind of treasure we could get this time. " the leader ordered.

Hearing his words, all the men kneeling in front of him began to laugh, greed and brutality flashing in their eyes. After they got help to raise poisonous beasts and obtained various talisman, the red arm bandit's strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
