The Sand Ridge Clan's delegation was not far from the Demon King Army Camp, positioned in a secluded forest clearing, near the first stream flowing through the woods, convenient for their gathering of berries and hunting of demon beasts in the forest.
When Luo Yan arrived with Sarah and Octo following Siya and Nema, over a hundred young Sand Ridge warriors stood up, curiously eyeing this legendary Lord Demon King.
"Is he the Demon King? He looks... quite kind?"
"A bit like a human."
"Human? Haha, don't joke around. He's a demon who summoned the Heavenly Punishnt Fire with a single spell and single-handedly destroyed thirty thousand Armored Dragon Soldiers! How could he be a weak human?"
"That Corpse Ghost... I actually felt the aura of Extraordinary Power from him!"
"How powerful must this guy have been when he was alive?!"
"A strong male... what a pity."
"What sort of creature is that one with cat ears?"
"Looks a lot like the leopard I caught while hunting yesterday... has a delicious appearance." A female Lizardman stuck out her long tongue, licking the scales around her mouth, her amber vertical pupils gleaming with an ambitious light.
These fellows' habits are just like those of uncivilized Primitive People, the only difference being the absence of their crowing noise.
Sarah rely glanced coldly at these Lizardn, as if looking at a group of reptiles.
As an outstanding guard, she didn't take those offending gazes to heart, just quietly followed behind Luo Yan.
What she needed to do was conceal her aura, not seek attention like Alakdo.
Siya turned her head, her gentle yet authoritative gaze sweeping over these young clan mbers, signaling them to keep quiet.
Almost instantly, the Sand Ridge warriors imdiately quieted their whispering, and the scene fell silent.
Luo Yan glanced at Siya.
It seems this girl's prestige among the Sand Ridge Clan is quite high, probably so relative of that Clan Mother.
Receiving Siya's signal, Nema stepped forward, her face still cold as ice, but her voice carrying an unmistakable pride.
"Honored Your Majesty, please allow to demonstrate the abilities of the Sand Ridge Clan for you."
Luo Yan nodded, as that was exactly why he had co.
"Begin."
"Yes!"
Nema respectfully bowed her head and then shot a sharp glance behind her.
Almost as soon as she gave the eye signal, over a hundred Lizardman warriors swiftly scattered like lightning, each assuming bizarre positions, crouching among the surrounding shrubbery and rocks.
Just as the color of their scales rapidly changed, in the blink of an eye, they blended entirely with the environnt. Unless one observed closely, they were almost indistinguishable!
Not bad!
Very realistic!
Luo Yan's gaze carried a hint of admiration.
Just as he anticipated, these Lizardn have a decent foundation, surpassing chaleons; with so training and guidance, they could be of great use.
Whether in reconnaissance or assassination.
"...Our Sand Ridge Clan is born to be assassins; Mother Earth Atiya endowed us with the ability to rge with the environnt." Nema's tone carried a faint pride as she turned back to look at Lord Demon King and continued, "Not only that, but the hundred young talents before you are the elite of our Sand Ridge Clan's younger generation, with the strongest having already reached the 'War General Level' strength."
Luo Yan curiously asked.
"And what is War General Level?"
Nema was montarily at a loss, not knowing how to explain, so she cast a pleading look at the eloquent Siya.
Siya looked at the Demon King standing beside her and softly added.
"Your Majesty, according to the power hierarchy on our Gana Continent, there are five levels: Soldier, Elite, War General, Holy General, and Divine General. 'War General Level' is already an absolute backbone of strength on our continent, and our Sand Ridge Clan's Quicksand Assassins excel at challenging beyond their level. Even against Holy General Level, they are not without a fighting chance... Please trust , we have presented you with our finest warriors, with no reservations."
"It seems you have put your heart into this."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan faintly smiled and casually made a polite remark but did not disclose his true thoughts.
Having experienced several clashes with the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom, he had roughly figured out that the so-called 'Holy General Level' here only matched the Fine Steel Level on the Aus Continent. Even the higher 'Divine General Level' would probably just range from Silver to Gold Level.
As for the War General Level, perhaps it's Bronze?
Luo Yan saw a reflection of his past self in them, rembering how he was once a Bronze Level minnow.
Not too bad.
Although Bronze Level strength is sowhat weak, what he valued was not the Lizardn's strength but their potential.
"I am very pleased with your performance. Next, I will assign Sarah to train you... She will teach you how to hunt the Demon King's enemies beyond the jungles and deserts."
Retracting his gaze from Siya, Luo Yan paused for a mont, looked at Sarah standing nearby, and instructed.
"Sarah, I'm entrusting this to you."
"Yes, Lord Demon King." Sarah respectfully nodded, her expression docile.
As soon as Luo Yan's words fell, a commotion spread among the lurking Lizardn, exchanging glances and whispering among themselves.
Training?
Let this prey train these battle-hardened hunters?
What a joke!
At this mont, a Sand Ridge female warrior, approximately two ters tall, climbed down from a tree and strode over to Luo Yan and his party.
