A Demon Lord’S Obsession novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Territory Selection

"Ahem(clears throat), greetings your highness."

The 15 demon lords all now with new ranks, statuses, were standing in front of King Val.

They all did slight bows, showing respect to the king who has remained in power for all his life.

The group of lords all were in a meeting room of sorts.

A long table with enough chairs to be filled by each of the lords was in the center.

A large very elaborate, nicely drawn map of the world laid flat on the long table.

The large demon continent at the top of the map with two slightly smaller continents near the bottom.

The two slightly smaller continents, the Elven and Human continents were connected by hundreds of islands, some large others small, mostly occupied by the Beast man race.

The northernmost part of the Human Continent closest to the Demon continent. Everything that was under the Demon race's control was outlined in bold.

This huge mass of land was separated by dotted lines.

These lines separated the Demon Races' domain into 15-16 large territories.

The king in front of the map brought Leon the second-highest rank up close.

He gestured his hand towards to map.

"These are all the territories governed by Demons, each is controlled by a separate demon lord. As the new highest rank amoungst the demon lords, you can pick any of these to control."

"Though you can't choose this one, I govern that one."

The king pointed towards the territory that had the capital in it.

"The best territories would be around mine, those usually would have a larger populace and economic growth."

Leon peered down at the map, looking at each territory.

He moved his finger along the paper, reading the cities and towns.

The other demons lords had no say in which he could choose, Leon might just choose the territory they were governing.

If a demon lord of higher rank chooses the territory you were governing, you would have to move out and go to a new one.

The more experienced demon lords new this. Cold sweet and anxiousness started building between them all.

Eventually, Leon moved his finger towards a secluded territory, one broken off from the Demon Continent. He tapped the page, all the demons lords, even the king looked astonished at his choice.

"Demon Lord Leon, I know I said you can choose any territory you wish to rule, but why would you Azeron."

"It's a good strategic settlement, with some thriving cities, a major port, since the Demon Race keeps pushing further down, it would be a good place to rule."

"If that's the territory you wish to rule then, Azeron it is."

The group of Demon Lords were pleased with his decision.

”””

The lords went to their rooms, still fatigued and annoyed.

Leon stayed back though, he looked toward the King as they both stood in the meeting room.

"I sent word to the harbor, a ship will be ready to sail to Azeron. The territory though under our control still has rebellions and invasions, it is relatively new and is unmanaged. I hope you can fix these problems."
