Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

- Your Majesty.

"... hmm?

Called, he opened his eyes. It is blurred to recall that the eyelids are unusually heavy, but not even if they say so.

He was dreaming.

"I didn't expect you to sleep in the middle of a military debate. You seem tired."

As Olias-Leviath put it, I was in the middle of a military debate.

Kruselk's officers are meeting together and falling asleep in it must be because of the fatigue, as Orias said. I don't really feel like he's doing something special myself, but there was no mistake in doing something special.

Continued domination of the Imperial Devil can only mean continued depletion.

"What, it's no big deal. Go on."

"Yes."

Only human officers are gathered in the Great Conference Hall of Demon King Castle. Gathering the Imperial Demon generals on this occasion will be a matter of morale for the human generals. Man and the Imperial Demon. There can be no such thing as coexistence and co-prosperity between races that have hated each other for five hundred years. Even where the Imperial Demons were under his control, it did not change the fact that they were natural enemies if they were human.

It's the same thing to try the Imperial Devil. For the Imperial Demon, man is no more than an enemy to defeat.

"The destruction of the Alliance of Antidemonic Kings is now under the control of Knox, Niwale, Haska and Ridziul. The national territory of Kruselk has doubled, and both the national and the military forces have doubled…"

"Is there something wrong?

"When it comes to troop strength, you're in trouble for a place of confinement, not a doubling."

"... I wonder if that would be bad for the Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Army"

"Am I?"

"It is good to engage the Imperial Devil in enemy lands. I don't even know your opinion that an overwhelming difference in power is an absolute condition for a great victory. but it's too much to collect"

The strength of Kruselk mobilized to defeat the four countries that name the Union of Antidemonic Kings is roughly 10,000. That's how many troops we've assembled on the ground, because it was swelling up to 60,000 after the war. Nor are those figures, including the forces of the countries that surrendered. It was the result of interfering with the imperial demons inherent in all parts of the world, and most of the soldiers in excess of 60,000 were content worthy of an army of demon kings called Imperial Demons.

All that Imperial Demon is under his control.

Über Rey-Krüselk.

And one shall call him the king of Kruselk, the demon king.

I follow the Imperial Devil. If you try to be a powerless person, you can be anything but a demon king. He liked the name. Demon King. It's the right name for a monster born out of the way of humanity.

Even if it's not the power you want, you're using it with your will. Genius. The power of the outside. I exercise it to fulfill my wishes. Even if it was recognized as a monster, there was no complaint. They made me stop being human. I don't think I want to go back to people's ways.

"But neither that nor this is due to His Majesty's glory. I have merely gathered the Imperial Devil who lay flat in His Majesty's glory. And as a result, I was able to win lighter than I thought."

"Disgruntled?

"No way. If you were unhappy, you wouldn't have been able to improve your combat skills."

Orias went, looking out for the officers with their faces in the conference hall. As the Demon King looked around the conference hall, the officers made their blue faces extraordinarily stiff. Very few of these have bones like Clan-Weatherle or Coral-Carrion. Many of the officers were more military personnel serving the Kruselk royal family than they were formerly, and there could be no such thing as loyalty to the usurper Uber. The lack of loyalty also means that I don't even have the temper to work for Yubel. They are doing a professional soldier, praying only that the reign of the Demon King will end.

In the first place, the Demon King Army had no place for a human officer. There is no better curtain for a powerless man than the Demon King's Army's main power is the Imperial Demon.

The Imperial Devil alone is able to build an army.

Although the bones were broken to make the Imperial Devil understand organized behavior and figure out things like army and tactics, as long as he could make them understand, the rest was an easy one. The soldiers of the Imperial Demon, the troops of the Imperial Demon, the officers of the Imperial Demon - the armies of the Imperial Demon acted as he wished and ravaged the enemy land, only by a single command.

Still, it was thinking about the future of Kruselk that Yubel would not let go of the human generals. Sooner or later you may not have to think about the future of a country that leaves the hands of the Demon King. A demon king wouldn't mind living faithfully to his own desires.

But he couldn't do that.

(So, same as Gandhia)

Do not follow the same path as Gandia.

It must not be the same country that devours the lives of the weak for the king's desires, and tramples his soul.

That was the revenge for Gandhia.

While naming him Demon King, let him lay down more good governance than Gandhia and improve the lives of his people. For that, too, we needed human collaborators. The Imperial Devil alone does not please anyone where he laid down good governance.

"Surely I shall be unhappy with you all. There is no place for you in the battle of the Demon King. [M] The demon kings use the demons. He's a demon king because he uses the monsters outside."

"Afraid!"

A rubbed voice echoed the conference hall. The gaze in the venue concentrates on the voice lord. A young man. I'm nervous to see, but I'm not blue. In that regard, it was different from the other officers. In my eyes, there is light. Strong will.

"What?

Yubel narrowed her eyes to the glare of the young officer. At my age, it wouldn't make so much difference. But there was no spiritual youth like him in Uberle. The youth was both envious and ridiculous.

"So what are we, called here!

When he shouted, silence filled the conference hall. No one, without endorsing his remarks, can reveal anything to deny. Next to Orias smiling bitterly, Yubel recognized the temperature difference between the young and surrounding officers. Most officers other than him want this meeting to be over soon. We think it has nothing to do with us anyway. I'm not wrong about that, but only this time, I didn't think so.

Yubel opened her mouth quietly.

"... as you all know, I, Uberle, am about to wage a battle to destroy Gandhia. The battle against the Alliance of Antidemonic Kings is just that outpost"

The wars against Knox, Niwale, Haska and Ridziul have always seen Kruselk remain advantageous. As Orias said, it has been settled earlier than originally planned, and as of January 10, the four countries are functioning as territory of Kruselk. I guess the reason this military council lacks a boost is also because competent generals are sending them everywhere. Both Clan-Weatheret and Coral-Carrion were running around to stroke the hearts and minds of the people, and they had no choice but to put up with the lack of human beings coming from the kind of people who opined on the Demon King.

Anyway, we're ready to fight Gandhia.

"If it were to be a war with Gandia, it would be so fierce that it would not be compared to the fight against the anti-demonic kings coalition. Not only has his country brought down Zalwarn, which boasts an overwhelming difference in power, but it has also engaged neighbouring countries and formed forces against Kruselk"

Next to Yubel speaking, only Orias was smiling. He's the only one who understands the situation. The only reason Gandhia was able to tie with countries like Zibel and Abad and form an anti-Kruselk coalition was because Kruselk made a similar declaration of intent to declare war.

It was on the occasion of the wedding of Leongando Ray-Gandia and Nage Zier-Lemanifla that he delivered the gift of the Demon King's Seal. It was all a plot by Gandhian anti-Leonganese aristocrat Rhine-Ansleus, but it was Yubel himself who rode it. He rode Rhine's measures and set up a fight against Gandhia.

It was the annihilation of Leongand and the people who were attending Leongand's wedding that Rhine-Ansleus wanted. Of course, things can't be as he thinks they are. I get it. Still, he rode Rhine's plot and sent the Imperial Devil.

If we just destroy Gandhia, it's unnecessary. That's where Orias is laughing. I guess that doesn't make sense. And you're right.

(This is ridiculous. everything)

Yubel went on to say words in an effort to reconcile the complex emotions within her.

"When the mainland of Kruselk is threatened, it is not the Imperial Devil who counts, but you. Kruselk is your country. This is the country where you were born and raised, and this is the land. It is not an exaggeration to say that your work depends on the future of Kruselk."

"The future of Kruselk......!

"Focus on Kruselk's defense of the land. So that we can focus on the destruction of Gandia and the anti-Kruselk coalition."

As Yubel told him so, he was feeling contradictory.

(It is Gandia that should be destroyed. I don't care about anything else. It shouldn't matter)

Why am I waging hostility towards countries other than Gandhia? Didn't you get a country just to destroy Gandhia? Didn't you take the throne and name the Demon King? Isn't that why you built and trained the army of the Imperial Devil?

To his unpleasant emotional movements, he frowned.

Okay, let's continue the military debate.

Yubel gave way to Orias.

Emotions deepen the confusion as they remain inexplicable.
