436 The King's Decision

The long hall was filled with a merry and exuberant atmosphere as everyone celebrated the return of the "Great Sage". The reappearance of Lanina, the right-hand woman of the demon king obviously gave a boost of confidence to the remnants of the demon army. Hao Ren looked at the goings-on in the hall with much curiosity; humans and beastmen with arms around each other, demons and dwarves squatting on the floor, arguing which was better—a hammer or an axe, elves and dark elves studying the patterns on the table—both were drunk.

These were Y'zaks' most loyal men, who held on to the last minute. They refused to surrender even when the demon king began to lose the war. Everyone had been more or less influenced by the rugged "culture" of the demons, so much so that even the elves were careless about their manners as they enjoyed themselves in the choatic banquet.
