343 Subordinates of the Demon Lord (1/2)

After recovering the control of his body, Yale went to the place where the lizardmen were gathered, and there he saw the shocking scene of all the lizardmen kneeling in front of him.

”We are all glad to become the subordinates of the Demon Lord. We will obey any order without hesitation.”

All the lizardmen spoke simultaneously like if they had planned it beforehand.

The powerful aura leaking from Yale before due to the resonance had scared them to the point that they decided that turning into the subordinates of the Demon Lord was the only option to cease the fury of the mighty being hidden nearby without losing their lives.

Although Yale didn't expect that kind of situation, he didn't reject the intentions of the lizardmen because they knew the area very well and would be useful as subordinates. Moreover, they were so scared of Yale's background that they couldn't even think of betraying him.

After that, Yale released the Shirk's group that had been waiting on the Storage Space until Yale confirmed the situation.

Except for Wyba who was focused on the sweets the lizardmen prepared for her, the rest were wondering why the lizardmen started to treat them with so much respect to the point that the lizardmen seemed their servants.

It wasn't that they mistreated them before, but they were treated only as important guests. Especially they seemed to be taking special care of Wyba, which the group thought that it was as a compensation for the problem the previous night.

However, the truth was that since they know how important was Wyba to Yale and she was easier to please than the former, they focused on making her happy to make Yale happy.

After all, they all knew that Yale was the leader and that he wasn't a simple as he seemed since he advanced many levels in one night. Normally speaking, that was impossible even with enlightenment at high ranks, so they guessed another possibility.

The possibility that Yale had been hiding his strength from the beginning and he was far more powerful than he seemed on the outside.

If a true expert wanted to hide his power from the lizardmen, it wouldn't be too difficult to disguise himself as an ordinary traveler like Liye's legacy disciple had done while roaming the western continent.

Moreover, since the lizardman chief, who was at the Sage Rank, wasn't able to notice anything, everyone thought that Yale was a Law Master in disguise or that he was near to become one.

That day Yale obtained information that wasn't in the books from the lizardman chief. It was classified information that shouldn't be disclosed to others, but the tribe had already decided not to hide anything from Yale.

”Dragon Race? Are you speaking about true dragons?”

Strictly speaking, the dragons were still a kind of beast although their number of types of divine beasts was far superior to that of wolves and lions, and they seemed to dislike being considered beasts.

Moreover, they were quite prideful even among divine beasts which made them existences that one would want to avoid interacting with because winning an argument was almost impossible due to their stubbornness.

”They aren't true dragons. They are similar to us, but they possess some dragon bloodline, so their potential is higher than ours. However, I heard that they have a true divine dragon as a backer, but I am not sure if that is true.”

That dragon race was the one who cursed the lizardmen. Since both races may seem a bit similar at first sight, there had been a lot of struggles between them to show who was superior and the lizardmen tribe needed paying for it after continuing acting like that after they lost most of their power.

Of course, the Lizardman God Cult were the ones who had sought battle to show that they were superior disregarding their current status.

After hearing that part of the story from the lizardman chief, Yale couldn't avoid but comment.

”Attacking a group of people with dragon bloodline after having been weakened, you really deserved to be punished by them.”

Yale didn't know anything about that Dragon Race, but he felt that their actions were still mild given that even though their old enemies had turned weaklings and such enemies had even dared to start another conflict with them.

Usually, it wouldn't have been any strange if the lizardmen had been wiped out.

”We indeed deserved it.”

The lizardman chief didn't try to defend their past actions because he was the first who knew that it hadn't been a wise decision, but at that time he wasn't the chief, nor he held the authority to say anything about that matter.
