The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 867 - 274: A Wise Man Submits to Circumstances

Holy General Level?

Or... the strongest Divine General Level?

Siya was unable to assess his strength, only feeling that even the shadow reflected on the ground exuded an unfathomable power.

Quickly calming down, she bowed her head respectfully and said.

"Honorable Lord Demon King, I am Siya, this is Nema, my guard... We come from the Sand Ridge Tribe. I sincerely represent the Sand Ridge Clan to convey our heartfelt respect towards you."

She gestured to Nema, who lowered her gaze and silently placed the bag containing Trakel's head gently on the ground.

Siya paused momentarily, then softly continued.

"For a long time, our Sand Ridge Clan has been oppressed by the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom. They cruelly slaughtered our clansmen, treating us as sacrifices to the Dragon God, completely disregarding our plight, and now they try to persuade us to oppose you. The honorable Clan Mother saw through their treacherous tricks instantly and beheaded their emissary."

"We hope to submit to your command and earnestly request an opportunity to prove our loyalty and value to you."

Luo Yan squinted his eyes, looking at the two emissaries of the Sand Ridge Clan with interest.

Their scales shimmered faintly in the light, pale brown with golden tones intermingled with dark brown, distinct from ordinary Lizardmen.

The silk robes and bone tablets adorned with totemic carvings exuded exotic charm, a style he had never seen before.

Don't misunderstand.

Luo Yan purely assessed the value of these two Lizardmen from a human perspective... just like he did when he saw the emissaries from the Wind Roar Tribe.

If the Wind Roar Clan more closely resembled the winged dragons in Jurassic Park, then the prototype of the Sand Ridge Clan would be chameleons living in arid regions.

Their bodies were slender and long, with large eyes and sharp chins, exhibiting a hint of exotic charm, even more attuned to human aesthetics than the Guardian Clan who had lived alongside humans for years... but this wasn't the focus.

The focus was on their skin, capable of adjusting colors according to the surrounding environment, even blending entirely with their surroundings like optical camouflage.

These guys were simply born assassins!

Luo Yan recalled the information he had interrogated out of the Armored Dragon Clan captives about the Sand Ridge Clan.

These Lizardmen, close relatives of chameleons, lived in the vast and barren Central Desert of the Gana Continent, located deep within the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom.

Their societal structure resembled that of the Weaving Shadow Clan, belonging to a more primitive matriarchal clan governed by a leader called the Clan Mother, while the clansmen worship an ancient existence known as "Mother Earth Atiya."

Based on the knowledge acquired at the Demon King Academy, this Atiya is probably the Earth Element God of the First Epoch, one of the deities lost in the currents of history.

Sand Ridge clansmen excel in stealth and concealment, their most elite warriors known as "Quicksand Assassins," possessing swift and lethal combat skills, often killing enemies unexpectedly. Although their Extraordinary Power isn't particularly prominent, they are formidable in the desert thanks to their superb stealth skills.

Of course, this also relates to the Gana Continent's "thin spiritual energy," making overpowered Transcendents rare.

In a maze, these Quicksand Assassins could at best serve as Elite Adventurers or Elite Monsters.

Looking at the two emissaries bowing in front of him, Luo Yan chuckled lightly and spoke with interest.

"... I am curious, are you not afraid that I too might treat the Sand Ridge Clan as sacrifices like the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom does?"

Nema's scales tightened on her head, her entire body instantly rigid.

Siya also froze briefly but soon regained her composure, her eyes clear and gentle, speaking respectfully.

"Before meeting you, I did have such concerns, but after seeing you in person, all my doubts vanished into thin air."

Luo Yan: "Oh?"

Siya nodded slightly, continuing graciously while remaining respectful.

"I felt from you a majesty and strength not inferior to the Divine. Why would a being as supreme as yourself serve other mysterious high spirits? The profound stirring from my soul tells me you are a living god. Moreover, we believe that being alive makes us far more beneficial to your grand endeavor than our flesh and souls."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yan laughed heartily.

"An interesting answer."

Luo Yan didn't think this fellow could sense Youyou's presence like he could, but the latter half of her statement was indeed correct.

Living beings are indeed more useful to him.

Especially these chameleons with built-in optical camouflage skills.

The deficiency in soul level is not troubling; his Divine can perfectly offset the Sand Ridge Clan's millennia-old shortcomings.

As long as they devoutly offer their loyalty and faith to him.

Siya keenly perceived that Luo Yan was relatively satisfied with her answer and took the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.

"In coming here, we bring not only the head of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom's emissary Trakel, but also one hundred of our clan's most outstanding young talents. Including this Nema beside me, they are the cream of the young generation in the Sand Ridge Clan, strong hunters and excellent incubators, outstanding in both combat and reproductive abilities."

"Out of admiration for your majesty, we all voluntarily join the Demon King Army. Once you nod in approval, we can immediately become your vassals, allowing you to command us at will from that moment onwards."
