Chapter 1024

Adrian and Onyx returned to the territory via teleportation. Some of the guards did arrive at their location but they were not fast enough to stop them from leaving. Even the guards knew that they cannot easily contain the two demons, but they should at least act like they tried to avoid punishment.

"How dare he!" One of the representatives of the lower row stated.

"It does not matter. The demons only pollute the pureness of this council anyway. We can move on without them." Another representative stated but a book suddenly targeted his head.

"Who dares!" The representative that got hit by the book stated but he cowered in fear when he saw who threw the book.

"Idiots! If you did not run your mouth, then we would have Teleportation within our grasps despite paying small fines. Now he demands them per person!" Elizabeth Shark stated as she now fully burst into rage.

Elizabeth knew that the demons will not easily give them access to Teleportation magic easily and already knew that she had to bargain. If not for these stupid entitled people, then they might have gotten a better deal compared to the one they are presented now. A thousand gold would have been cheap to mobilize armies as numerous food costs will go down.

"Elizabeth, calm down." A voice from behind her stated and she immediately knew that this merchant elder is one of those behind the scenes.

"You! I bet you planned this." Elizabeth Shark stated as she pointed to a fat old man.

Unlike Elizabeth Shark that has actual experience in marine trade and its dangers, the man named Gip only has great amounts of money and greed. He thinks that all of this will be solved with pinching costs as they presented him with a graph of the things that they will pay for to solve the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

The merchant guild might not look like it, but they are not bringing in as much profit as before because of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Even nobles from other kingdoms rarely trade with them as they needed to prepare for things just in case the shortage of goods lengthens. What is even worse is that Avalon has excess food as some of the residents there does not need to eat or only eats a quarter of what humans eat.

"The plan will still commence without their help." Gip stated.

"The plan?! Did you not read and understand that the graph was made with the demons in participation!? Without them then the costs would be tremendous." Elizabeth Shark stated bluntly which suddenly made Gip speechless.

"Seeing that the Daemos will not participate, the dragonkin will not do so as well. We shall prepare our own armies ourselves when one of the Four Horsemen arrives in our lands. Without the cooperation of the Daemos, the movement of armies will not be feasible. This council has just turned into a waste of time." One of the dragonoids sitting on the fourth row stated as she stood up and started to head for the exit as well.

Others also left and most of them are the players that are lords of their own territory. They only came here because they knew the invited list of people in the council. When they learned of the involvement of the Daemos, they immediately agreed to come as well since they can just teleport to the location of the raids.

When even the lords of territories from the edge started leaving, the realization of the effect that the Daemos possess has dawned on those that belittled them. Some of these faraway territory lords do not even have other churches in their territory but the Church of the Twin Gods.

The Champion of the Twin Gods is actually the one that told the elders of the church to deploy people to these faraway lands even if by schedule. It was also the Daemos that sent the priests to those faraway lands which is why they are very thankful for the assistance that the Church of the Twin Gods have given them.

If they actually knew that Adrian only suggested that because Avalon was becoming crowded, then their appreciation might depreciate but they will still be thankful. With the way the Daemos has been treated, those at the upper row knew that they will definitely be looked down upon. Some immediately stood up while some waited if the council will be disbanded.

In the end, only half of the remaining council members invited are left in the stadium. Even some key figures that they marked left which almost made Elizabeth kill these representatives. The fact that these representatives dare to be haughty to a Champion of a Church is beyond her. They are not even the rulers of the kingdoms that they are the representatives of.

"We will be dismissed for today. We shall continue the meeting tomorrow. Please return to your accommodations for the day. Thank you." Elizabeth stated but she is already gritting her teeth.

Meanwhile back at Avalon, Adrian is currently using the demon eye near Mercatores. He is clearly seen smiling from ear to ear as those that left next are all heading in one direction. They were all heading south where Avalon is located. Adrian could see that a majority of them are the lords of the faraway territories.

"It seems that your most likely scenario has come true." Ascalor stated which shocked Onyx.

"You predicted this to happen?" Onyx asked.

"It is not difficult to predict it when they have been told that we are beasts of destruction for centuries. I even controlled myself from laughing because of the sudden changes of the face of the angels there. You could see the total loss on their face as they also seemed to know that we are crucial in operations like these. They were willing to let us be in the same room as them. Anyways, let us welcome the incoming visitors." Adrian stated.
