Chapter 76: Watchdog of Humanity (2)
The meeting came to a close. In the end, it became a discussion about how inferior the human race is.
It’s pathetic. Overestimating your enemy may also lead to your defeat, but it’s a lot better than underestimating them. The rookie Demon Lords were diligently creating ways for our defeat. They have an excuse for their actions, though. It’s only natural to raise our morale before we engage in combat, after all.
“I will end the meeting here.”
Zepar’s exhaustion was as clear as day. That’s right. I’m not the only one who had drawn bad cards. It’s not surprising that you would lose your will to fight when half the people who came as your subordinates are like that. If these rookie Demon Lords were our foe’s vanguard, then they had accomplished a successful skirmish. Aren’t they great officers? They managed to lower our morale before the battle has even begun, after all.
I held back a sigh as I was about to take my leave, but Zepar called out to me.
“Dantalian. I would like for you to stay.”
“Huh? Understood.”
I sat back down before I could even get up from my chair fully. I wonder what’s the matter. The other Demon Lords left and the tent soon became chilly. Zepar, his adjutant, me, and Laura, the 4 of us were the only ones that remained. Zepar gazed at me seriously.
“The leader of the 6th legion informed me that you are trustworthy. She told me that although she is not certain about your proficiency in tactics, your resourcefulness is something which she is confident in.”
