Chapter 355: Neutral Nation (8)
* * *
The internal cleanup was finished quickly.
Demon society stirred greatly. Within only a single week, there was an assassination attempt and a purge. At first, everyone was confused about what was happening, but they quickly got riled up once we gave an official statement.
– Cowards that tried to kill their own kin using a method as terrible as assassination.
– It’s shameful that we even referred to them as Demon Lords until now.
– Not only did they cause the Crescent Alliance to fail, but they almost foiled the recent expedition as well. They’re dogs that don’t know what shame or honor is.
The flags that represented the six Demon Lords were set ablaze within the demon world cities. Among the executed Demon Lords, Ipos was once known as a splendid sculptor, but his sculptures were all destroyed in public.
Despite the death of eleven archdukes, there wasn’t much of a reaction in regard to that. This was probably because archdukes were more like ‘rulers’ than they were ‘spokespeople’.
If anything, the Demon Lords were closer to being spokespeople. The emperor of the Roman Empire apparently declared that he was the spokesperson of the people and this was basically similar to that. Why did the people treat rulers who reach the peak of the caste as spokespeople? I feel like I had a vague idea, but also not. Well, there’s no harm in letting them misunderstand on their own.
