The final hurdle [3]

"We've come a long way, everyone…" 

Jezebeth stared at the sea of demons that stood before him. They numbered in the millions, and they all looked at him with fervent eyes. 

The sight made Jezebeth smile. 

'Who'd have thought that our race, which was on the verge of extinction a few centuries ago, is now the most dominant of all races.' 

The sight…

It moved him, and the smile on his face deepened if ever so slightly. 

"A lot of you are probably confused… perhaps even annoyed by the sudden orders, but I want to make something clear." 

Jezebeth paused and looked down at all of the demons present. 

"The order… It was something that I had passed down. It was a decision that I made, and not something that was made on the fly." 

Jezebeth's soft vice traveled through the ears of each of the demons present.
