After receiving the appointment document, the Sea-Reclamation God even signed his name on it in front of Wang Yao, and then shoved the appointment document in front of Wang Yao's nose.
"Look, with my name added, it's a collective appointment by the six God Lords of the God Realm. This is the most powerful document in the God Realm. If you refuse to comply, it would truly be an act of rebellion against the God Realm!" The little girl looked at Wang Yao triumphantly and laughed.
It was only now that Wang Yao belatedly realized that his position as commander of the reinforcements had never been officially appointed; it was all a sham! It was only thanks to Wei Zheng and Zhang Liang calling him "Commander-in-Chief" that he had the illusion that he had long ago been the commander-in-chief.
"My Lord, look around you. There are plenty of demons, ghosts, gods, and immortals. Why did you single me out?" Wang Yao pointed at the raging army and said with a worried expression.
"Who told you to be such a lucky general? Even if I were to be the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, I would still be far inferior to you!" the Sea-Reclamation God laughed.
"What lucky general?" Wang Yao asked, his face full of astonishment.
"Now that we've recovered most of the divine realm, have we fought a single battle? Our three armies are in perfect order, and we haven't suffered any losses. Everyone's morale is getting higher and higher, isn't that all because of you? Don't you think you're a lucky general?" The Lord of Reclaiming the Sea asked Wang Yao in a serious tone.
"You call this a lucky charm? Even though those demon bastards haven't appeared, they can't have been blown away by the wind, right? As long as we keep heading south, we'll run into them sooner or later, can't we? What kind of luck is this?" Wang Yao shook his head repeatedly.
"You stabilized the situation in the war between gods and demons, recaptured the Sea-Reclaiming Divine City, and restored the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Domain and the Decapitated Demon Domain to their former state before the Battle of Thousand Sails Port. Aren't these all your achievements?"
"Now that the rewards have been bestowed, think about how we were originally just grateful to have held Bird Return Ridge and Green Fish Harbor. Now, without firing a single shot, we've switched the balance of power with the Demon Clan. If this isn't your achievement, then whose is it?" the Sea-Reclamation God asked with a smile.
"Whose credit is it? Your credit, the army's credit, or even the credit of that Hu Mei, Saruman, or the Decapitated Demon Lord. It could be anyone's credit, but it certainly isn't mine," Wang Yao said irritably.
"General, may I speak with you in private?" At this moment, Wei Zheng walked over from a distance.
The army hadn't fought a single battle, yet everyone had amassed numerous merits. The kitchen was filled with extra food, and the entire camp was brimming with a joyful atmosphere. Even the immortals who didn't need to eat were all beaming with smiles. However, Wei Zheng's face was unusually solemn.
"What is it?" Wang Yao asked, taking a few steps away from Wei Zheng.
"The group leader sent a message, asking us to continue the attack and, if possible, take down the Decapitation Demon City," Wei Zheng said, staring into Wang Yao's eyes.
"Behead the Demon City? This... isn't that a bit far-fetched?" Upon hearing Wei Zheng's words, Wang Yao, though expressing disbelief, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement as he thought about his mission.
"The group leader said that the situation in the Demon Realm is quite strange. Although they have put great pressure on the God Realm, they are obviously running out of steam. Moreover, all the Demon Lords have recently disappeared, and the Heavenly Court has also lost contact with them," Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.
"What does your group admin mean...?" Wang Yao frowned as well.
"The Heavenly Court believes that there is likely a problem with the Demon Realm's higher-ups. Combined with everything we experienced in the Divine Realm of Sea Reclamation, our group leader speculates that the problem with the Demon Realm's higher-ups is very likely related to the rebellion of foreign gods and demons such as Hu Mei and Saruman," Wei Zheng said.
"What exactly are Hu Mei and the others trying to do? Isn't it enough that they've already caused trouble in the God Realm? Now they're going back to cause trouble in the Demon Realm? Isn't this just harming others without benefiting themselves?" Wang Yao was quite puzzled.
"Until the truth comes out, it's still difficult to determine their purpose. Our group leader's idea is that the army should just head south, and if they really encounter danger, the group's higher-ups will not stand idly by. Right now, the Demon Realm is like a festering sore; we can't wait for it to fester on its own."
"We must first break its head open and forcefully squeeze out the pus," Wei Zheng said.
"Damn, what a disgusting analogy. Let me think about it some more." Wang Yao gave a perfunctory reply, still undecided. To be honest, he was half-convinced by what Wei Zheng and the other group leader had said. There was no doubt that Hu Mei and Saruman's retreat to the Demon Realm was part of their plan.
However, it would be an exaggeration to conclude that they can cause any trouble in the Demon Realm. If Hu Mei and Saruman lost the support of the Demon Realm, they would at most be a group of powerful but defeated dogs. But the Demon Lords are also Mahayana cultivators, no less powerful than them.
Moreover, the Demon Realm has consistently held the upper hand in its long-standing war with the God Realm. How could a few mere demons and foreign gods possibly cause such a catastrophe? Impossible! And how utterly despicable must Hu Mei and Saruman be to turn their backs on their own protectors?
Without the protection of the demon lords, wouldn't they also be doomed?
"I'm practically a member of the Xiankou group now. What exactly is the organizational structure of your Xiankou group? What does the group leader do? Could you tell me about it?" Wang Yao changed the subject and asked.
“Our Xiankou group is loosely organized, mainly consisting of a three-tier structure of members, administrators, and group owner. The administrator position is not permanent; it is only when something happens and the group needs to deal with it that an administrator is temporarily selected to lead the relevant members to handle it.”
“Once the task is completed, the administrator will automatically leave their post. Just like this time, when we supported the reclamation of the Divine Realm, I was the administrator for this matter. Once the task is completed, I will revert to my civilian status,” Wei Zheng explained.
"Oh... what about the group leaders? Don't they have to manage things?" Wang Yao asked curiously.
