Chapter 565

"I am very sorry, because one more representative has not arrived yet, so..."

Facing Otto's very impolite tone, Jircniv didn't care too much.

After all, for the strong, there are always many privileges. The other party is a highest-ranking Seraph; it is no exaggeration to say he is a spokesperson for the gods.

In terms of strength, he was probably just an ant in front of the other party.

In terms of status, the other party was not inferior to an imperial monarch like himself.

"What kind of character is the other party, to be qualified to make Lord Otto wait here?"

"Emperor of the Empire, don't forget, we, the Theocracy, are the main force in resisting those evil creatures of the Sorcerer Kingdom."

The person who spoke was the Black Scripture's Eleventh Seat, "Infinite Magic," a girl wearing a black magic hat with long blue hair tied into two large braids.

Because she was too arrogant in the past, "Infinite Magic" had been beaten up by "Zesshi Zetsumei," so she was both afraid and hateful of Zesshi Zetsumei.

It was also because of this that after Otto defeated "Zesshi Zetsumei," this guy became his die-hard fan.

Even Nigun often felt that this guy was better at licking than he was.

"Since everyone has come to the Empire to attend the conference, it means everyone is an ally."

"And since we are allies, I won't hide it from you: the last representative is participating in the conference on behalf of the Holy Grace Demi-human Nation."

"But although he represents the Demi-human Nation, he himself is human, and he is the Kingdom's Third Prince, His Highness Shengzai."

In the political game, he lost to the Kingdom's Third Prince and was convinced, but this didn't prevent Jircniv from putting some eye drops on Otto.

The other party made their Empire a vassal state of the Kingdom; wouldn't it be excessive for him to stir up some hatred for him in front of the strong?

"A mere Kingdom prince, even if their Kingdom's King came, he wouldn't be qualified to make Lord Otto wait."

"And that inferior, barbaric race of demi-humans, what..."

"Shut up!"

Before "Infinite Magic" could finish speaking, the Seraph Otto, who had just been looking lazy, suddenly changed to a serious look and told her to shut up.

"Human Emperor, you just said that the last human we are waiting for is the Kingdom's Third Prince, His Highness Shengzai, right?"

Facing the abnormal attitude of the highest-ranking Seraph, Jircniv was also a bit confused, but finally nodded hesitantly.

"Since that's the case, let's wait a while longer. Actually, I think the scenery here is quite good, so I'm not in a hurry..."

Looking at Otto, whose attitude had changed so much, Jircniv was completely numb.

No, just now, this highest-ranking Seraph did not have this attitude toward him, the Emperor of the Empire!

Is the Empire's Emperor really not as valuable as the Kingdom's Prince?

Obviously, that's definitely not the reason. Even a fool could see that this highest-ranking Seraph must know the Kingdom's Third Prince!

【Lord Otto, your performance is too obvious. This way, everyone will know you have a relationship with His Highness Shengzai.】

Looking at the surprised crowd around him, Nigun couldn't help but remind Otto via telepathy.

【Stop nagging. Why didn't you tell me before that Lord Shengzai would also come here to attend this whatever-conference.】

【Because His Highness Shengzai didn't tell me either! I took this mission just to build connections with the Empire and the Holy Kingdom, to make it easier for me to seize the Papacy later.】

Jircniv, as the host, needed to be responsible for welcoming guests outside to show respect for other countries.

Because the Holy Kingdom had once received Shengzai's help, they also expressed their willingness to accompany the Emperor in waiting outside.

As for the Theocracy, neither the highest-ranking Seraph Lord Otto nor Nigun, the leader of the Theocracy's team, had taken their seats. Could others dare to steal the show?

And this led to the fact that when Shengzai appeared as an envoy with the Demi-human Ten Heroes, he saw that the people responsible for welcoming them had changed from the Empire, the original host, to the leaders of three countries.

"Your Highness Shengzai, who are these people behind you?"

Although Shengzai already knew the Empire's Emperor and the Holy Queen, Shengzai should be meeting the people from the Theocracy for the "first" time.

So, as the host, Emperor Jircniv inevitably had to help everyone introduce each other to ensure the smooth progress of the meeting later.

However, when it came to introducing the ten men and women of various shapes and sizes behind Shengzai, Jircniv was in a bit of a bind.

Because he didn't know any of these people, and he could feel that the aura emanating from them was not inferior to the Theocracy's "Black Scripture."

You know, the members of the Theocracy's "Black Scripture" are all strong people who have at least reached the human Heroic Realm!

This level of strong people is already very rare. Even in the Kingdom and the Empire, not counting those adamantite-ranked adventurers.

The Kingdom only has Warrior Captain Gazef and the genius swordsman Brain, and their Empire only has that traitor Fluder.

But now, the ten men and women of various shapes and sizes behind Shengzai are all strong people of this level, and even stronger!

"Oh, them? They are the chieftains of several large tribes of the Demi-human Nation I mentioned to you before."

"Well, in their area, they seem to be called the 'Demi-human Ten Heroes' or something."

Hearing what Shengzai said, everyone present, except for the people from the Holy Kingdom, showed a look of shock.

Because the demi-humans standing behind Shengzai at this moment were too different from the demi-humans they had seen and known before!

Demi-humans are called "demi-humans" not because they look like humans, but only because they possess a certain level of intelligence while maintaining beast-like habits.

But now, these "demi-humans" behind Shengzai, except for retaining a few non-human features like horns, ears, and tails, were almost no different from humans in other aspects.

Jircniv previously didn't have high expectations for the 300,000-strong demi-human army Shengzai mentioned.

Although Shengzai said that the demi-humans' combat power was stronger than ordinary human soldiers, and Jircniv acknowledged this point.

But the demi-human army has a huge drawback: they are hard to tame. Once the war really starts, can they obey the commander's orders?

They don't have much brain power to begin with; if they really fight, there's a possibility they won't distinguish between friend and foe.

But looking at the "Demi-human Ten Heroes" now, Jircniv's thoughts changed instantly.

This demi-human race is not just a little bit changed as Shengzai said before; this is completely two different species, okay!

Seeing a spot and knowing the whole picture, if the Demi-human Ten Heroes, as tribal chiefs, are like this, then those 300,000 demi-human troops, wouldn't they be...

The Demi-human Nation's combat power is far beyond his initial expectations!
