The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 280: Advancing on Assam City



In the Demon King Army camp, within the central main tent, Luo Yan sat poised on a chair, the magic crystal ball before him slowly rotating, reflecting the bustling scene outside the camp.

In the crystal ball, rows of makeshift tents extended along the edge of the forest, with various banners haphazardly planted around. Nearby were Lizardmen of different shapes, skin colors, and attire, resembling an overturned palette.

As of now, more than seventy tribes have sent emissaries to him, with over half of them being led by their chiefs personally.

According to the intelligence Lumier gathered deep in the forest, the main Lizardman tribes on the Gana Continent are the Wind Roar, Tide, and Sand Ridge tribes, whose combined members total in the hundreds of thousands, making up thirty percent of all Lizardmen tribespeople.

Seeing that both the Sand Ridge and Wind Roar tribes expressed intentions to submit, and after the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom's army was turned into corpse ghosts, other Lizardman tribes who initially sent emissaries with probing intentions, all dispelled their wishful thinking.

For the Great Graveyard, this was undoubtedly the best outcome.

The Gana Continent covers nearly 700,000 square kilometers, equivalent to half of South America. With countless islands and island chains along the coast, attacking one tribe at a time would leave him with nothing else to do.

The best strategy at present is to assimilate the Lizardmen on the Gana Continent into a part of the Great Graveyard through a strategy of religious conversion and a combination of grace and force, then control several core tribes to dominate other groups, and subsequently utilize the Lizardmen's rapid breeding advantage to quickly fill the entire continent.

Luo Yan watched the scene before him, a faint smile playing on his lips.

So far, his plan was progressing smoothly.

And as he expected, when the Lizardmen from other tribes heard of Nema's experiences from the young talents of the Sand Ridge tribe and saw the benefits the Sand Ridge tribe received from him, they all, without exception, started currying favor with him… in the matter of trying to please him.

Youyou, floating nearby, looked excitedly at the crystal ball, as if gazing at a tempting cake.

Its voice was filled with excitement and admiration, sincerely expressing its awe.

"As expected of Lord Demon King, with just a few simple tricks, so many Lizardman tribes were subdued. Judging by their eagerness to join, they're probably stirring up the entire Gana Continent!"

Luo Yan smiled slightly, his tone understated.

"Just basic maneuvers, nothing noteworthy."

This small matter was indeed not worth mentioning.

In contrast, his arrangements in Thunder City were more technically demanding.

Youyou's eyes, filled with admiration, sparkled like little stars. Its transparent body spun in the air, seemingly full of joy.

If the Lizardmen on the Gana Continent could all be assimilated into the citizens of the Great Graveyard, the divine might of Lord Demon King would undoubtedly rise to an entirely new level!

It was already eager and impatient!

Just then, in the shadow of the tent, the space suddenly rippled, and a dark purple figure emerged from the shadows, kneeling with a respectful expression.

"Your Majesty."

Thanos knelt on one knee, his gaunt face full of humility, speaking in a low, respectful tone to Luo Yan.

"According to your instructions, I have conveyed your will directly to the Holy King of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom."

Seeing Thanos return safely, the half-stone suspended in Luo Yan's heart finally settled.

It seemed the Dragon God had indeed abandoned his people, and now there was no longer any force on this continent capable of opposing him. Assam City was already in his grasp.

"What was their response?" Luo Yan asked knowingly as he looked at Thanos, who was nervously reporting.

Thanos lowered his head, answering in a somber tone.

"Those weak reptiles ignored your mercy and forgiveness, even daring to attack me, your envoy, attempting to overwhelm me with their numbers."

Thanos had intended to garner some sympathy from Lord Demon King by playing up his plight, but recalling those creatures' arrogance and foolishness, he couldn't help but let a faint, mocking smile curl on his lips.

"Your Majesty, I have investigated thoroughly: the Armored Dragon Clan priests and elders gathered in Assam City and the Dragon God Temple are indeed a bunch of weak insects, utterly defenseless. As for their so-called 'Holy King,' he is nothing but a monkey in a crown, utterly unworthy of his station. I saw no divine granted strength in him. His helpless rage makes him appear like a pitiful worm... If you hadn't instructed me to spare him, I would have cut off his head then and there."

He paused, lifted his head, and continued with a piercing gaze.

"In my opinion, there's no need for you to waste words on them. At your command, I can bring back the heads of those petty creatures for you! Or living ones, if you prefer!"

Luo Yan chuckled softly, waving his hand dismissively, speaking calmly: "Thanos, we must conquer them with virtue, not always resorting to violence. If you kill them all, who would I ask about the Great Barrier's situation, and where would Lord Demon God's faith come from? Will you provide it instead?"

Thanos was stunned for a moment, hurriedly bowing his head.

"I was foolish; please forgive me, my lord."

"I'm not blaming you, just reminding you to consider things more carefully,"

Luo Yan gently waved his hand, signaling him to raise his head.

"Of course, that being said, Assam City is, after all, the core of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom's power and faith. Dealing with these stubborn insects requires a certain degree of military deterrence."
