Because there wasn't much to explain, the meeting ended quickly.
At the scene, not a single demon expressed their opinion directly, as this matter was extremely important and they would not make a decision in the short term.
We need to go back and discuss it.
"Do you think they would be willing?" Lilith asked, following Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen recalled the burning gazes he received when he mentioned the benefits, and he smiled as he said, "Yes, there might only be a few people at first."
But as those few people stir up trouble, more and more people will join in.
After all, if it really succeeds...
These people can then restore their race to its former glory and become lords who own one or more star systems.
Among this demon race, there are many like Akame who are unable to settle for the ordinary; they simply lack an opportunity.
And now, I'm putting that opportunity in front of them.
In addition, they were high-ranking members of the demon race. Although they had been away from the demon race's homeland for decades, they still had their own connections there.
"As long as we provide them with resources in all aspects, coupled with the mess the Demon King has created, they have a very high chance of success."
Lilith could almost see the scene: the Demon King leading his army in fierce battles on the front lines, unaware that his own backyard was already on fire.
"So you really want to hand over those star systems to those people?" Lilith asked with some concern.
Zhao Chen smiled and said, "I am a man of my word. Since they are willing to risk their lives for me, I will naturally fulfill what I promised."
But it's important to understand that they became the lords of those star systems thanks to our Xiaolong. They don't have any local power in most of those star systems. If they lose our support, do you think these so-called lords can still rule over any star system?
"When the time comes, we'll set some rules and regulations. Will these demon lords refuse?"
Lilith's eyes lit up: "They'll probably be eager to be tied to the Falcon then!"
"A fox borrowing the tiger's power!"
Zhao Chen smiled without saying a word.
This was his plan, and it also allowed him to kill multiple birds with one stone.
Not only can it restrain the Demon King's offensive on the main battlefield, but it can also secretly digest those demon territories, and then defeat the Demon King and his demon race in the future.
Those demon territories also need to be properly managed.
At that time, these demonic territories will naturally fall under the control of the Wraith Dragon.
Zhao Chen could see very far.
"Don't be stingy when it comes to providing funding to these people. Although many of them will fail, if they succeed, the profits will be enormous," Zhao Chen reminded Lilith.
As for those phased funding grants, Lilith, the housekeeper, naturally needs to compile and calculate them.
“Understood,” Lilith replied.
Zhao Chen yawned: "When the first group of people willing to carry out our plan appears, bring them to see me."
We still need to maintain the proper attitude.
Zhao Chen smiled slightly.
...
At this moment, because of Zhao Chen's meeting, the high-ranking members of the demon race under Chi Tong were in complete chaos.
“No! I agree to participate. The reason our people escaped was to preserve our race. If we go back and get involved, wouldn’t that go against our original purpose?” said an old demon.
"Escape? Where can we ultimately escape to?"
Furthermore, look at the kind of life we've been living on that planet for the past few decades.
How glorious our race once was, yet on that planet we lived a life of hunger and deprivation.
If it weren't for Akame joining the JF-17 and changing our living environment...
In a few generations, our ethnic group may become primitive people!
This is a rare opportunity for us. If we seize it, our people can regain their past glory!
"But if we are not careful, it could bring us utter destruction!"
"A catastrophe?"
Didn't you see what the Demon King looks like now? If he really wins, his army will sweep across the entire universe.
Do you think that when they find us, it won't be our annihilation?
Or do you intend to continue leading our people on a nomadic journey?
"But...can we really trust this Dragon Lord?"
"The trust is mutual. Akame is now a legion commander in the Dragonflight, and has even helped us obtain Dragonflight residency and a habitable planet."
You have never left our planet. Now that we are outside, as long as I show my JF-17 registration certificate, people will look at us differently!
Serving Lord Dragonlord is absolutely no problem!
"I...I think we should discuss this further."
At this moment, a young man took out a dagger, cut his palm, and blood flowed out.
He quickly scribbled a few lines on the desktop, and a graphic appeared soon after.
Everyone fell silent upon seeing this graphic.
It was two daggers crossed in a cross shape, with four horns in the four gaps between the cross.
"Do you all remember when our emblems were floating among the stars?!" the young man demanded of everyone.
That's right, this is the emblem of their demonic race.
"We fled our homeland because we could not agree with the Demon King's ideology at the time, and because our military strength was insufficient to resist."
In the end, he chose to leave for another place.
Now that we have the opportunity, why don't we resist!
I don't care what you choose, I'm going back!
"I will go back and reclaim everything our family owns. I will return to my homeland and make this family crest shine once more!" After saying this, the young man walked straight out of the room.
After a moment of silence, the room erupted into another argument.
But every now and then, someone would still come out of the room.
Akame's father sighed and walked out of the room.
Outside the room, Akame was waiting not far away.
Akame's father walked over. He looked at his daughter, who was dressed in the uniform of the Falcon Dragon Army, looking heroic and dashing. She was completely different from the rebellious girl she used to be when she ran away from home to become a space pirate.
"Red Eyes... what... what do you think of what Lord Dragon Lord said about this?" Red Eyes' father asked with a complicated expression.
Akame looked at her father and slowly said, "Because my current identity is the commander of the Second Legion of the Dragon Squad, I haven't said a word before."
Now I'm speaking as your daughter.
This may be the last chance for our family to rise again.
Of course, I respect your choice.
"At least with me here in Xiaolong, our family can live with dignity here."
Akame didn't offer any direct advice, but her father's eyes became clearer.
