Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Chapter 425 - 63: Dragon Descendant Player: The Terrifying Performance of Advancing to Demigod

"It’s over!"

"The dust has finally settled."

"It’s just a shame we couldn’t completely wipe out the detestable Feathered Insect Race."

The moment the Oracle from the Deities of Barbaric Star spread across the planet, the Empire Alliance Army, who had been fighting on the front lines, were the first to withdraw.

Meanwhile, the Forest Race and the other three clans who had been cornering the Feathered Insect Race were all visibly resentful.

In contrast, there was the Feathered Insect Race, who had been compressed into a territory of less than 300,000 square kilometers with a Clan population under ten million.

The members of the Feathered Insect Race, however, all wore expressions of salvation, crying tears of joy.

"This is good enough."

"At the very least, you three clans managed to eliminate over ninety percent of the Feathered Insect Race’s Clan Members."

"Honestly, from my perspective, you’ve gotten some serious payback, haven’t you?"

At that moment, Sean, as a member of the Empire Army Department, already knew the war was over without even needing to check the messages coming through the department’s private communication channel.

Because, as a Player, Sean had learned the final outcome of the war between the Star Sea Gods on the game forums the instant it happened.

Compared to the native inhabitants of the Star Empire, Sean knew far more details due to his status as a Player, so he immediately understood everything about this withdrawal.

"Payback?"

"I suppose we got some, yes. But we failed to completely destroy those evil creatures. As long as you give them time, they’ll definitely grow strong again."

"But it’s an Oracle from our Father God, after all. Sigh... I guess this is how it has to be."

The front-line Demigod Elder from the Forest Race sighed.

"All right now, there’s no need for that, old man."

"You won’t be enemies anymore. In the future, you might even become comrades-in-arms. So, you should adjust your mindset as soon as possible."

Sean said with a cheerful laugh.

Upon hearing this, the Elf Elder looked astonished. He stared at Sean and then asked:

"Special Envoy, does this mean you already know the inside story behind the ceasefire?"

Sean shrugged nonchalantly and nodded.

"More or less."

"And it’s not like it’s a big secret."

"That’s because the Deities of your world have reached a formal agreement with the Empire."

"Right now, whether it’s you, your Father God, the Feathered Insect Race, or their Father God, you’re all now considered members of our Empire."

"And you may not believe this, but it seems the Father God of the Feathered Insect Race was the very first of the Land Deities to surrender to the Empire."

The Elf Elder’s expression froze at his words.

"What? The god of the Feathered Insect Race was the first to join this Empire you speak of, Special Envoy?"

The Elf Elder had already anticipated that his own Father God would join this so-called Empire.

After all, the Royal Court had long held high expectations for the Star Empire.

Moreover, the Elf Race of the Star Empire had provided considerable help to the Forest Elf Clan over the years.

So, the front-line Elder could understand why the Father God of the Forest Elf Clan might join the so-called Star Empire, perhaps influenced by the wishes of his people.

But for the god of the Feathered Insect Race to be the first of the Deities to join the Star Empire—that was something the Elf Elder simply couldn’t comprehend.

"How is that possible?"

"According to the legends, the Deity of the Feathered Insect Race is incredibly evil and arrogant!"

"Back then, even our Father God, allied with the gods of the other two races, couldn’t do anything to Him. How could He choose to join the Empire so easily?"

Sean burst out laughing at this.

"HAHA, what’s so hard to understand about that?"

"Old man, you’re seriously underestimating our Empire’s Giant Serpent God."

"Anyway, from now on, you can just look forward to the splendors of the Empire! As for war and all that, it’s far behind you for now."

"Also..."

Sean was about to say more, but in the next instant, his expression froze.

The so-called Special Envoy from the Empire, who had been with the Elf race for years and even helped them fight on the front lines, suddenly stopped talking.

Seeing the frozen look on his face, the Elf Elder’s expression turned to one of hesitation.

In the Elf Elder’s opinion, this so-called Special Envoy wasn’t particularly strong.

Even for a so-called Dragon Descendant.

At Tier Nine, he possessed strength comparable to a Saint Tier Clan member.

But, that was the extent of his power.

On the front lines, if the Elf Elder hadn’t protected him on many occasions, the Special Envoy would have died at the hands of the Feathered Insect Race’s Demigods countless times over.

However, Sean was, after all, the Special Envoy assigned to the Forest Elf Clan by the so-called Star Empire.

He possessed many ways to directly contact the so-called Empire, as well as the authority to mobilize small legions.

Therefore, over the years, the Elf Elder had come to hold a decent opinion of Sean.

In fact, after learning of Sean’s special status as a ’Divine Favored’ in the so-called Star Empire, the Elder had become even more tolerant of him.

Otherwise, with the way Sean kept calling him "old man"...

...given the Elf Elder’s usual temper, He would have lost it long ago.

But, regardless, after interacting for so long, the Elf Elder had come to know Sean’s personality.

He even knew that Sean possessed special means of contacting the so-called Star Empire, allowing him to receive certain information instantly.

So, at this moment, the Elf Elder, a Demigod, immediately asked in a low voice:

"Hm? Special Envoy, what is it? Did you receive some bad news?"

As the Elf Elder finished speaking, Sean’s frozen expression instantly changed.

It wasn’t a grave or unpleasant look, but one of extreme joy.

"HAHA!!!"

"Durham, you old man."

"There’s no bad news at all."

Sean laughed heartily, all the fatigue from the past days instantly vanishing.

"To be precise, I’ve just received the blessing of Divine Favor that I’ve earned—both as a Divine Favored and as the Special Envoy to your clan during this war."
