"But, I'm not a regular demon, I'm a demon lord for all intents and purposes, didn't you know that Lily?"
"No, that's not it master, of course Lily knows the master is a demon lord" Lily paused before continuing "It's just that no one ever trusted Lily"
"That's not true Lily, let's see first how long have you been around?"
"Lily has been around as long as the master has been, Lily has appeared with the master"
"Was there ever a time when I didn't trust you Lily?"
"No, the master always trusted Lily"
"Okay, second of all how many demons do you know Lily?"
Lily started counting her fingers like a small child and after a while she turned to Jake and said.
"Lily only knows the master, the imps, and the master's demonic animals like wolves and bears"
"So you're saying that the demons under my control didn't obey you Lily, is that it?"
in a panic Lily said
"No master that's not it, it's just that Lily can't explain it but Lily knows that demons don't trust scubus"
Jake knew Lily was talking about the world demons came from, but I don't think she should talk about that.
"Let's forget about that for now, as you can see there is no demon that doesn't trust you, at least the demons that are above me fully trust you Lily"
No sooner had Jake finished speaking than Lily grinned from ear to ear.
"Not while Lily is going to loot the goblins with the master's gnoll skeletons what is the master going to do?" Lily asked shyly.
"I'll try to make a deal with the goblins, for that I'll take all the demon wolves that can fight, the two demon bears we have and the imps. I will leave the goblin skeletons to guard the cave."
When Jake finished speaking Lily was completely confused, so much so that Jake couldn't contain his laughter, although he understood the reason for Lily's confusion.
"Hahahaha"
"What's the joke, master?"
"You should have seen your face Lily. But you don't have to be confused, I'll explain everything to you. Although it can be seen that you are completely confused Lily. First, my objective is to join the goblins in my army, for that I have to make a contract with them"
"Okay, Lily understood that now, master, but then why did we kill the goblins and the master turned the ones we captured into skeleton goblins?"
"One thing does not replace the other. We attacked the goblins to create a war between the goblins and the gnolls, I turned the goblins into skeleton goblins to increase the number and strength of the army"
"So what is the master going to do with the skeleton goblins if the goblins ally with us?"
"That's easy, I'll send all the skeletons I have to attack the gnolls, besides before I forget we must never tell the goblins that I already have a magic attribute"
