The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 269: The Price of the Blessing



"Catastrophe OL" official website.

Just as players were heatedly discussing the recent update of the new map, an annoying post suddenly refreshed on the forum.

Teammate Sacrifice: "Guys!! Big news!"

Boundless Magic: "The forests of the New Continent are not completely empty; we discovered the Lizardman's main city!"

Gai Shiyin Xiong: "???"

Gou Shi: "What's going on?!"

Innocent Big Female Donkey: "(lust)(lust)"

Teammate Sacrifice: "It's a long story! We were searching the forest for traces of escaped Lizardman soldiers, but instead of finding them, we unexpectedly ran into a Winged Dragon!"

Boundless Magic: "Exactly! That thing was huge! Its parts even more so, suddenly sprang out of the forest and scared the heck out of me!"

Pig-headed Knight: "Damn, who cares about that thing! Get to the point quickly!"

Rock Candy Hawthorn: "+1, what's the deal with that main city?!"

Facing the crowd's inquiries, the deeply skilled in reply-baiting [Teammate Sacrifice] ignored them, rambled a bit, and only when the players were about to lose it, did he narrate his and his buddy's adventure in the forest.

To sum it up, they followed the Winged Dragon's flight path, crossed the mountain ridge in the forest, and then traced the river to discover a huge lake nestled among the mountains, along with a city hidden at its center.

The city was exceptionally large, with farmland and cottages scattered along the lake shore, looking from afar like a paradise outside the mortal world.

Upon learning that such a piece of prime land was hidden in the forest, players in the post became excited, and all their hands reached for the public screen.

Cold Blade: "Where is it? Share the coordinates! (lust)(lust)"

All-out Roar: "+1, begging for coordinates!"

Begging You Not To Send: "Bro! I'm begging you!"

Don't Touch Me: "Stack!!!"

Looking at the silly faces of people begging for coordinates on the forum, [Teammate Sacrifice] couldn't stop grinning, and then quickly typed an offbeat answer on the keyboard.

"Everyone, no need to panic! This opportunity appears to be hugely rewarding, but it might be hiding some deception! Let us go investigate first, confirm there's no danger, and then update the coordinates in the post. Isn't that wonderful!"

As soon as his post was up, his buddy [Boundless Magic] replied immediately.

"Your words are absolutely right! If I don't go to Heaven—oops—I don't go to Hell, who will? Let us go scout the path first, and if there's anything good, we will definitely bring it back to the forum and share with everyone!"

One Mouthful of Chemical Pool: "Oh my!"

Gou Shi: "@#%&!"

All-out Roar: "You greedy bastard! (angry)"

Pig-headed Knight: "That's so shameless!!"

Cold Blade: "Go to hell! (bomb)"

"..."

...

Just as those two careless guys closed the forum and went back online, happily swinging their big tails towards the "Lake City" to explore, a sneaky Wind Lizard almost simultaneously arrived above the Demon King Army Camp.

It's worth noting that although the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom is the only kingdom on the Gana Continent, it is not the only Lizardman power on this land. And while the Dragon God is the belief of most Lizardmen, not all Lizardmen claim to be descendants of the Dragon God.

During the descent of the Great Barrier, which was the First Epoch a thousand years ago, the Gods of Elements were mainstream in this world. Neither the Light God "Sith" nor the Netherworld God "Hagen" held the titles they do now; the division by bloodline into divine systems and concepts of race emerged at the end of the First Epoch.

Due to the Great Barrier, the Gana Continent did not get swept into the massive war that caused the fall of the Gods. And because this land is isolated from the world, its civilization progress is much slower than that outside the Great Barrier.

The hundreds of Lizardman clans that believed in the Dragon God formed the Holy Armor Dragon Clan, embraced the Dragon God belief, and rallied around Assam City... just like human clans on the Aus Continent who united because of Saint Sis.

Apart from the Dragon God-believing Armored Dragon Clan, a considerable number of Lizardmen still maintain their ancient traditions and beliefs, residing across the Gana Continent based on their bloodlines, serving their own Divines.

Over the past millennium, conflicts between the two sides have been fierce, and eventually, the populous and cohesive Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom have taken the upper hand.

However, correspondingly, this also led the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom to make countless enemies.

For instance, the Wind Roar Tribe, who believe in the Sky God "Uranus," is one of them.

From the moment the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom's hunting team clashed with unknown powers appearing on the beach, Wind Roar Tribe's Scout discovered the situation on the coastline, brought the news back to the tribe's royal court, and quickly caught the attention of Wind Roar Tribe's ruler—"Great Wind Chief" Urga Wind Split.

For a long time, as the most powerful tribe on the Gana Continent, the Holy Armor Dragon Clan not only disregarded ancient contracts but dominantly monopolized the Holy Lake belonging to all Lizardmen. Under the guise of worshipping their Dragon God, they rudely built Assam City at the center of the Holy Lake, controlling the plains and forests around the Holy Lake.

Moreover, they arrogantly classified non-Armored Dragon Clan Lizardmen as savages or even prey and prevented all "impure bloodline" Lizardmen from accessing the Holy Lake's water source!

The resentment between both sides has long evolved from a simple religious conflict into an irreconcilable situation.
