A Demon Lord’s Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss

"Don't break the line!! Don't let any of the undead in here!!

"Ooh!!

Yes, Gamdia growls at his men, and his men raise their voices in defeat.

The guards, in front of the gates of the Lords' Palace, had taken a formation known as the 'Phalanx' and were holding back the intrusion of the undead with their erected large shield.

There, the city's magicians and adventurers work together to drive the undead into inaction and protect the citizens who have fled.

Adventurers and others are usually rough, and many take care of the guards, but between those who love the same city. He was tenacious and working to exorcise the deceased, saying that there was no point unless he wielded his power on such an occasion.

Its overall command of them is Gumdia-Roston.

He had just taken up his post as captain of the guards, and in this city, where meritocracy was prominent, he often initially questioned his strength and clashed with the guards of his allies, but because of his honest character, the accuracy of his command and the definitive strength of his person, he eventually became a sight to behold not only the guards, but also the people of the city.

"Huh."

And the lord of the city who waves his sword mixed with its guards and adventurers - Leiro-Rulubia.

His men said, "Please run away because it's dangerous!!" Ignoring the desperate attempt to stop him, "he was fighting at the forefront of the Lords' Palace, which was a refuge in the city.

"Lord Gamdia! What's going on?"

"The Undead are getting weaker and weaker. Near here, control will be close."

"Got it. Then when the evacuation of the inhabitants is complete, we will go to repression. He's mostly more pressured in the center. I'm coming with you."

"... because you don't mind?

"I was also the one who put himself on the battlefield. Even this old bone can still wave a sword for the people. And... the blood's rolling."

When Raylow said so, Gamdia smiled niggly, then lowered her head slightly and immediately returned to the command of the guards.

Raylow also continues his thoughts on this situation while helping evacuate residents.

The undead is attracted to the living, envious, and attacking... but at the same time, it is said that the raw light is too strong for the undead to boil in places like those where there is a man's gain.

Nonetheless, if such a number of undead has occurred, it is due to a conspiracy of eighty-nine or something (...).

- This is probably the work of those in the kingdom.

Yes, Raylow concludes.

I didn't tell the brave girl, but this city originally has quite a few enemies.

Since Raylow himself is first up on the battlefield, he is often clawed from those who have long been aristocrats as a builder.

And because this is the borderline city, with its many geographic, demonic habitats, and hence the quality of nature, adventurers and soldiers, and because of the great battle that has been achieved before, there are many who are jealous of its achievements.

In addition, opposition to the last expedition. If you look from the protagonists, the aristocrats who lost all relevance to the soldiers they sent on the expedition, there will be no more jealousy about Raylow.

In view of those reasons, it is enough to rot, such as the reason to get your hands on this city.

The Demon King is in this city too... but perhaps the man will not go this far. If he wants to crush this city, he can use his overwhelming power to just ramble.

Besides - the anomaly has been happening since before the Demon King came to this city.

There is no evidence, but this development today with the strange incident that was occurring here is probably of some relevance.

- Fine.

Give me the edge of nobility, too. If you're selling me a fight, take it and stand.

Raylow, who solidified his resolve, sucked in, and breathed...

"- Listen!! You guys!!

- Yes, to reach anyone's ear from the bottom of his belly, he exhales words.

"This city has been in crisis many times for a long time!! Sometimes the army of demons, sometimes the great bandits who came out, and sometimes the armies of other countries - but our city, did not perish!!

To the words of Raylow, those who have fled, and those who are in the midst of battle, listen as they wave their weapons.

"And this time again, to this extent our city, Alfiero, will not perish!! Set up your weapons!! Raise your voice!! We're taking the city back from the deceased!!

"WOOOOOOOOOOOO -!!"

Reliable, roaring as if the earth were roaring, Raylow's cheeks hung unknowingly.

"Wow... Hiya, damn it"

The city was in complete chaos.

The zombie bastard that me and Leffi ran into. It appears to be everywhere in the city, attacking humans. Fire hands are up everywhere too, and the sky is still brightly stained, even now that the sun has completely sunk.

Exactly, it's zombie panic.

Me, I liked zombie movies a lot, but that's funny because it's fiction, and if that happens in real life, there's just nothing disgusting about it. You look like you're walking normally with your organs drooling or something, it's too creepy. I want you to stop.

However, not only will the humans be hit, but the adventurers, as far as the ones fighting back with weapons can tell, are quite a few.

It also seems to establish a proper way to deal with it, forcing the body to suppress and pour something liquid-like into his mouth where the zombie's hands and feet have been slashed and he can't move.

It seems to be a special liquid, and the zombies who poured it in are freaking out and cramping their bodies before eventually stopping their physical activity.

That's a pretty good move. I guess the adventurer thing is still doomed to these rough things.

If this is the case, it will be only a matter of time before things subside... but I can't read your aim.

Refi said that Koitsu and the others were deceased manipulated by the Necromancer, so this means man-made disaster.

In other words, someone is attacking this city - and the attack is halfway there.

This is a mess.

Confounds the enemy, launches a direct attack while the chain of command is Mahi, and controls it.

Me, I liked real-time strategy-based games and I used to play them a lot, but it's pretty much the same as one of the strategies I can play in the game at that time, so I figured it out right away.

Normally, after this, I wonder what I would do to get my troops into and control them... but what I see from the sky is that only zombies are attacking the city, and nothing else is hiding.

The enemy wants to confuse this city. But I'm not going to attack the city.

Does that mean that the intent of a possible enemy... is that you want to buy time?

What the hell do you want to do with this massive time buying?

... I'm not sure. It would be quick to talk if you caught some noisy son of a bitch, but you don't see him using an enemy or a map...

- No, wait, my horizons are too narrow.

Humanity is what makes you wonder what happens if you do something about it. Then the enemy must be near this city.

... Somehow I thought there were enemies all over the city, but if you think about it, the enemies aren't manipulating the zombies directly.

And if you're not even going to attack me, you don't have to lurk all over the noisy city. You just need to relax and see what's going on in the city to see if things are working out.

That's what I thought. The Demon King's super vision made me look out of the city.

- There he is.

Outside the city, in a hilly place.

At first glance, nothing. It's just a hill, but with magical eyes, I can perceive a stream of magic swirling into the human form on the spot. Perhaps he's hiding himself with skills or magic like 'covert'.

- I don't have the right to help this city.

I don't have a brother-in-law... Something's annoying.

Most importantly, he ruined my sightseeing. Fun time with Leffi, I fucked up.

Then I'll have to let him get the full reward.

The Demon King is selfish. If you resent me, resent yourself for what happened to me when I was in the city.

- And it was me trying to smash those sons of bitches right away, but in the city under my eyes, I see what I see.

"... Nell?

It was the figure of a brave man.

"Uh, what are you doing, him?"

When I look, countless zombies flock to me, and I hang up on them all by myself. I stand around.

If it was him, he'd be able to easily shake it off and get away with it.

... No, you're not.

Behind... a church? Apparently, he fights to keep the zombies out of there and protect them behind him.

Open the map and check...... oh, I see.

... Fair enough. The enemy has been identified. I'll deal with the fuckers later for now.

I kinda hate it when he dies, and let's start by selling a big thank you to the brave.
