Domination of Equestria - T+30 - days.
“Heh, there would be no better reward than fighting the Mare of Honesty herself. Worry not great Overlord, we will see her brought back.”
“See that you do.”
“We won’t be seeing them again I bet.”
“No Master?”
“A Mercenary who doesn’t want to be paid doesn’t want to live.”
“Is that so Master?”
“In my experience.”
“There is one more group awaiting your pleasure?”
“Do these ones have more fur pelts than weapons?”
“No Master?”
“Send them in then.”
“So you’re the new Overlord eh?”
“That I am. You’re responding to the bounty?”
“Yea, we are. We’re a band of ten, we have at least four kills each. Some of our longer members many more.”
“That’s impressive. Care to share your secret?”
“No secret. Just straight up killing. I take my axe, and I plant it in their head.”
“I like you already. You know who I want?”
“Yea, The Apple mare, Applejack, right? You realise that what you’re offering for trying to take on one of the Elements of Harmony is too low right? We won’t do it for anything less than five thousand Bits. Each.”
“Really? You think you’re worth that much?”
“We’re worth every Bit. We don’t fight, we don’t get paid. We don’t get paid, we don’t eat. Simple as.”
“Now I really like you. Very well, six thousand bits each when you bring her body to my throne here in Canterlot.”
“Six? Huh. There a bonus for alive?”
“No. Dead or alive, you get the same. Offering more for a living target encourages bad behaviour.”
“Really? Well in that case you’ll get her as she comes then. But we promise, we’ll get her.”
“You seem quite driven.”
“Well yea, there’s a new Plasma TV I fancy and I’m not going to get it by pissing around.”
“Do you have a business card? I think I may have more work for you once you’re back from the Badlands.”
Overlord Rule No:44 I will only employ bounty hunters who work for money. Those who work for the pleasure of the hunt tend to do dumb things like even the odds to give the other guy a sporting chance.
now that's a being that knows how to get a job done!
Good business sense showing on both sides here!
Wait a minute...
That's like over forty kills, and that's te-rri-ble! @o@

Makes sense.
So do they kill her? Another chapter says there is one mare working out so much she looks like a dude now. I assumed it was Applejack.
6509460 I think it was Rainbow Dash.
6509424 First of all, some of the guys who were in the band longer have more kills. Second, how much work do you think mercs get in pre-overlord equestria.
6509564 Not much I wager. But maybe theres work in the Gryphon and Minotaur lands...
I like these cercs too!
Money is better then pleasure. Money can buy pleasure :3
The only thing that upsets me is that we won't get to "see" what happens to AJ in the Badlands.
But I think we all know how it's gonna end.
6509424 And thats as many as four tens.
Yeah, that makes sense. That's why I always hate bonus objectives. Most of the time they're to the determent of what you're actually trying to accomplish.
6510152 you fucking genious!
I wish I could upvote each and every chapter

Bet you never thought that comment would get so many thumb-ups.
This is why Darth Vader likes using Boba Fett. In fact, this entire overlord list is why Darth Vader is the best villain ever. Of all time. Technically speaking, all of the mistakes that were made which violated the list were not his doing at all and in some cases were either contradictory to his orders or went over his objections.
