Chapter 1007: Election of the Commander

In the time that followed, many other lords and powerful figures arrived at Lord Chenxi's territory one after another; almost all of them were at the Saint Domain level, as common as cabbage, easy to grab by the handful, and there were quite a few at the Legendary level visible at a single glance.

It could be said that all the powerful figures of the entire Saint Na Continent had gathered together in the shortest possible time; although this was the case, the expression on everyone's face was not particularly good.

The war in the Western Region had spread throughout the entire continent; the Demon Clan was attacking, and none of them had any confidence to resist the Demon Clan's vast army.

Lord Chenxi's Territory.

In the great hall, Li Yue sat upright on the seat belonging to him; a single table was placed in the very center of the hall.

Below sat the various lords who had friendly relations with him, as well as the powerful figures willing to join hands this time to face the Demon Clan.

Li Yue glanced at the assembly of lords, pondered for a long while, and then spoke, saying: "Lords, the Demon Clan army has now attacked the Saint Na Continent. Moreover, the Demon Clan army is coming for Lord Chenxi's Territory. Now, the situation in Lord Chenxi's Territory is extremely grim, so I need you to help our Lord Chenxi's Territory overcome this crisis."

Hearing Li Yue's words, the various lords sitting below who had a good relationship with Li Yue nodded one after another and said: "My lord, rest assured, we will do our utmost to assist Lord Chenxi's Territory in overcoming this crisis."

"Our major territories have already united and jointly formed a coalition army."

Hearing this lord's words, Li Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Then have you discussed who should command this battle?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, the various lords below began to whisper to one another.

As the saying goes, a group of dragons cannot be without a head; the coalition army must also choose an existence capable of leading everyone. Otherwise, fighting separately makes it very easy to lose one's head.

The God-Demon Lord stood up first from below and addressed the crowd: "Everyone, since no one has a better choice, I will nominate myself. As for why: first, this meeting was convened by me borrowing Lord Chenxi's face, so I have a certain degree of leading authority. Second, my strength is not bad; obviously, there should be no second candidate present, right?"

The God-Demon Lord's words had barely sounded when they immediately caused many people to sigh and murmur.

To be honest, facing the Demon Clan's invasion, anyone could think of gathering other lords to discuss; it was just that the God-Demon Lord acted a step ahead.

As for strength?

Everyone could only let out a dry laugh; almost everyone present was about equal, roughly the same; if he were truly strong, then facing the Demon Clan's invasion, he would not need to be so worried.

"Enough, God-Demon Lord, none of the reasons you gave are usable; sit down and think of other recommendations." A lord spoke up, interrupting the God-Demon Lord's words.

"Yes, I think we should sit down and think of other things."

"Exactly, I agree with his proposal; let's think of other methods."

""

As others chimed in, the rest joined in the commotion.

Hearing the commotion from the crowd below, the God-Demon Lord's face immediately turned ugly; with anger on his face, he looked at the crowd below and angrily cursed: "One by one, you are all fence-sitters, siding with the strong; hmph."

Saying this, the God-Demon Lord crossed his arms over his chest and sat back down in his seat.

And at this moment, the Death Lord stood up and proposed: "Since everyone thinks there is a way, then I think this position could be given to Lord Cheng Xi for a try."

Hearing what the Death Lord said, Li Yue was stunned immediately, raised his finger and pointed at himself: "No mistake? Why me?"

Li Yue looked at the Death Lord and asked with a face full of surprise.

He really could not believe that the Death Lord would push himself to the forefront of the storm.

If the people of the Demon Clan discovered this, then, at that time, even if he had ten lives, they would not be enough for the Demon Clan to kill.

To capture the bandits, one must first capture their king; the people of the Demon Clan would still understand this principle.

Seeing this, the Death Lord spoke: "Exactly, Lord Chenxi, listen to me. First, this is your territory, Lord Chenxi; regarding the surrounding geographical environment, you are the most familiar. Second, your leadership ability is obvious to all; otherwise, it would be impossible to become a powerful existence in such a short time. Third, this is your territory; for us other lords to obey your orders is no problem."

The Death Lord's words were spoken as a matter of fact, leaving no flaws for anyone to pick, not even a single crack.

"This..."

After listening to the Death Lord's explanation, Li Yue could not help but furrow his brows.

In fact, the Death Lord's words had no flaws; one could even say they were perfect.

The others also nodded one after another in response: "Hmm, what the Death Lord said makes sense."

"If this position were given to someone else, I imagine the other lords would have strong objections; if handled improperly, there would be many unnecessary troubles in the later stages of the war."

"I think the Death Lord is right."

"I also agree with the Death Lord's statement."

In an instant, the various lords present one by one expressed their stance, agreeing with the Death Lord's words.

Hearing the murmurs from below, Li Yue's brows tightened.

"Alright, let this matter end here."

Li Yue took a deep breath and spoke.

"Lord Chenxi, do you really not consider it?"

Hearing Li Yue say this, the God-Demon Lord, who had been silent all along, could finally no longer hold back and spoke up, questioning: "..."

Li Yue said: "I know my own capabilities myself; such a heavy responsibility, I truly cannot bear it."

Hearing Li Yue's words, the God-Demon Lord frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Saying this is meaningless; you must know that if you do not take this command, then you will only be squeezed out by the other lords. At that time, no one will submit to anyone else, and the trouble will be huge. Only you can make everyone submit."

"This..." Li Yue began to hesitate.

His gaze swept over the crowd once, then drew back, and he propped his chin, thinking seriously.

"Alright, since everyone thinks I am more suitable to be this lord commander, then I agree. Here, I promise to all of you that I will definitely drive the Demon Clan back to their homeland." Li Yue spoke.

Seeing that Li Yue had agreed, the many lords below all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, then we can rest assured." A lord spoke and laughed.

"Hmm, since everyone has no objections, then I announce: today, Lord Chenxi is the new supreme commander of the coalition army." The Death Lord said.

Hearing the Death Lord's words, the God-Demon Lord and others all nodded.
