Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 576: The Love History of the Demon God (Please Subscribe)

For Demon God's emotionally enriched recount of interdimensional affairs, Kane sat by his side, his thoughts a chaotic mess, listening only vaguely. He recalled the noble one concluding with deep sentiment, stating that the child's mother shared a noble interdimensional origin body with him, and though the child couldn't inherit his legacy due to mixed bloodlines, his ability to recall the bonds of father and son and ally with the foundation plane to lead troops in defense during the clan's peril was truly fortunate for their race.

At the end, the young agent of the Demon God turned his head to look at Leman Friedrich, who was sweating profusely on the ground, and asked solemnly, "Do you still think he's of a disorderly mixed heritage?"

This question completely crushed Leman, who had been holding on with difficulty, causing him to kneel on the ground, repeatedly apologizing and professing he dared not consider it anymore. Ignoring Leman's frantic head-banging, the young man surveyed the crowd and inquired, "Does anyone still have doubts about this child's origins?"

Doubts? Who would dare question when the Demon God himself had spoken so! All the clan leaders in attendance, whether long-established or newly emerging, looked at each other with embarrassed expressions. If the Demon God's words held true, they would be placed in an extremely awkward position. Including Kane Samikina, though most present were descendants of the Demon God, their ancestor, the son of the Demon God, had perished thousands of years ago. Even with the lengthy lifespan of the Demon Race, reaching Kane Samikina's generation meant he was already the seventh generation grandchild of the Demon God.

The Demon God, although was once quite romantic, had restrained himself over the past millennia; apart from those two extraordinary figures within the Demon Race, he had not borne any new offspring. Now, a noble-born son from an interdimensional plane had appeared, and coming to the Holy City, not just Kane but even those with status higher in the family than Old Bal had to address him as 'ancestor' based on seniority.

The Demon God, noticing the awkwardness in the crowd, slightly curled his mouth into a smile and turned to Kane saying, "I've heard your granddaughter, err, Shitang has settled feelings with him?"

After Kane stood up, he was motioned by the Demon God to sit back down, tremblingly saying, "These are merely folk rumors, folk rumors."

"Isn't that great! I've seen the image; they make quite the pair. She's the daughter of the Bailang family, the current Kataraga Autonomous Territory's external lord, correct?" The young man spoke, sweeping his gaze over the meeting hall and fixing it on the last seat.

The Patriarch of the Bailang family in the Holy City stood and respectfully replied, "In response to Demon God, after her mother's sacrifice, Sifuer automatically inherited the title of lordship in Kataraga."

"The Bailang family was once among the twenty noble families, and it has been hard on her at such a young age to fight everywhere for the revival of her family and serving our race. From today, restore the previous rank of the Bailang family and grant them the qualification to hang the Thorn Flower banner at the Demon God Hall."

Thud, the Patriarch of the Bailang Family knelt down on one knee, covering his face and crying out loud, "Thank you, Demon God, for your favor and protection. Our Bailang family pledges to fight to the end for Demon God and the restoration of Thorn Flower's glory for the Demon Race."

The Demon God heard his words, pleased, waved his hand, picked up a fruit from the table and put it in his mouth, turning to Kane, attentively asking, "The rebel was executed; was a token sent back to the Holy City?"

"Yes!" Kane rose and clapped his hands. A soldier who had been waiting outside the hall came in bearing a wooden box and stepped quickly to his side. Kane took the box, opened it, and presented it respectfully before the Demon God.

The Demon God glanced at Lelajin's head inside the box with the corner of his eye, nodded slightly, then Kane handed the box back to the soldier. The soldier then carried the box slowly past each clan leader, and all gazed at the head inside with disdainful expressions. Some associated men, unable to care about their stature, stood up and spat a thick saliva onto it.

Until everyone had looked through, the Demon God raised his hand indicating, "Take it down, and hang it on the column in front of the Demon God Hall's square to deter vile individuals and set an example by warning others!"

After the soldier left the hall in response, the Demon God continued, "The last rebel of the Lelajin family has been eliminated; from now on this family is completely struck out of our race's genealogy. Their family crest - a bent bow and long arrow! As for the Samikina and Bailang families who made the most outstanding contributions in crushing the rebellion, I approve engraving a broken arrow on their family crests to commemorate such great deeds! Other participating families can record this battle in their genealogy to pass it down through ages. After the meeting, submit a detailed battle process and list of the participants for review; the Demon God Hall will then assess and award contributions!"

"Demon God is wise; thank you for the favor!" Kane and other Demon Race members rose and bowed to offer thanks.

After accepting the salutation and motioning everyone to return to their seats, the Demon God looked at Kane and continued to ask, "Your family contributed much in rescuing the Star Lord, reclaiming lost ground, and killing the rebels in this battle. Do you have any special requests for rewards?"

Upon hearing this, Kane hurriedly rose again, bowing deeply and saying, "In reply, to exert effort for you to repel enemies of the Demon Race is the duty of us noblemen. The glory conferred by you is already illuminating…"

"No need for such flattering words, make your requests freely. Not asking now and regretting later, don't complain to outsiders that I'm stingy and inconsiderate of my subordinates!"

Perhaps it was the change to a younger body or the joyous mood from the great victory that made the Demon God jovial, prompting a light chuckle in the meeting hall. Seeing this, Kane dared not make diplomatic talk again and smiled, saying, "Then I shall speak frankly, firstly, the Bailang family suffered significant losses due to previous errors, not only having few remaining troops externally but also stripped of their command rights within the Holy City. The ultimate cause for these two victories rests with my granddaughter, hence hoping the Demon God..."

"Alright, I'm aware of this. Restoring the Bailang family's status naturally entails granting corresponding rights. From today, the Bailang family may draw personnel within the Holy City from various legions to reorganize the Thorn Flower Knight Legion. My decree communicates to Sifuer that she may recruit troops externally for her territory, not exceeding seventy thousand!"

"Thank you for your favor, Demon God!" The newly seated Patriarch of the Bailang family gratefully glanced at Kane and then bowed, thanking.

"Continue, what else do you wish for?"

"I wish to obtain honor for those old soldiers who fought and served, who should have enjoyed their twilight years but instead shed blood on the battlefield for the great cause of our Demon Race. They deserve respect!"

Upon hearing Kane's words, a look of emotion appeared on the faces of both new and established nobles. That battle of stark power disparity viewed through the light shadow sphere had become one of the most praised topics within the Holy City. Everyone was moved by the heroic gestures of this group of old soldiers facing death fearlessly.

"Ah!" Demon God sighed deeply and said, "Our race is now forced into such a dire situation, and amidst the scarcity of troops, all sorts of novel tactics and strategies in this battle have opened a new combat philosophy for us. I still remember a saying I heard while in the foundation plane, 'A tiger's might remains strong, even when old!' My decree shall bestow the title of Viscount on Legion Commander Kodwen and command him to reorganize the old soldier legion named Tiger Wei Army modeled on this battle, engraving a fierce tiger military flag."
