The sound of a knock echoes indoors, and everyone indoors looks at the door.

"Get in."

When I gave permission to enter, one of my men opened the door and came in.

"I'm home, Your Highness."

"Have you returned alive? I wouldn't have been impotent."

"I don't want to die. You and I have been watching from afar."

"What about the dead?

"We're zero. Because you can't die here."

My men were on reconnaissance.

Of course I didn't leave it to one of them, but I'm here as a representative to compile the report.

I am relieved that my men have returned safely, but I cannot be relieved by what I am saying.

It is possible that we are looking at the distance that can be confirmed here.

The word "etc." would be barren just to say. People in the field should know better about that.

The fact that there are no dead is just that there are no dead people this time.

It's only because the dead are already out that some safety zone has been established.

No, let's just say we hear the report now.

"So, how's the war going?

"The status quo is half destroyed... depending on what you see. That's half destroyed close to total annihilation. The escaping humans have come out, so it's time for the empire's inner feelings to be known around us. People are beginning to flee across the border."

"You were late for an outing. Though I thought it would disintegrate sooner. Good luck to that brother."

"Unlike you, my brother and his men cared about you. Some loyalists were helpful. Well, it looks like he's almost dead."

"For that matter, the treatment of the people was no different from that of my brother."

"That's why he still ran away with you and the soldiers alive, isn't it? Fortunately,"

"Cheng Cheng, it makes sense"

But that's good. I will not die in vain. Run and survive, and live safely in some country.

If I die by it, I'm in trouble in another way.

Even the peasants around here seem to be a threat to the demon's dead soldiers.

That idiot brother didn't notice it at first and tried to use some peasant as a shield.

If only we could reduce the number a little. And even when you're an enemy, you're not an enemy to the peasants.

The result was an increase in the number of powerful enemies at once. Really, that brother does a joke.

He said that if the people were largely gone, the country would mean nothing.

We think we're special, but that's just special because we're down there.

He's cornered because he doesn't even know that.

"But even so, the demon progresses slowly. I don't feel like I'm getting any momentum at all."

"This is only a prediction, but he seemed to enjoy hurting your brother. Rest in moderation, attack again where fatigue cannot be removed, and let escape somewhere."

"Cheng Cheng, you are being played. Surely it will take some time."

Apparently, the other guy is a demon with a bad personality.

Little by little, little by little. You just told me to shred my troops, hurt them, and drop them into despair.

I guess it's a play with corpse soldiers. How far can you resist? How far can it break?

No, is it possible that you simply enjoy running away?

"As it stands, brother, your soldiers will kill you on the spot if you make inadvertent moves, and those who kill you will be monitored for rewards at a later date. So we've managed to keep our troops down."

"There are limits. There could also be a futile killing, that's"

What are you going to do if a killing occurs for a reward?

Especially those who are actually fighting, they must have a sense that they are at war with no prospect of winning.

We'll figure out how it explodes if we keep this up.

"And my brother, as you expected, seems to have joined hands with your brother."

"What about the bait?

"Your pledge to give up the throne and your cooperation in your murder."

"Well, if you go this far, you'll want to wonder if they have the ability to think."

Did the fool brother and the fool join hands as expected?

Brother Fool has completely flipped the difference in quantity as it is and doesn't have enough hands.

The fool's brother, as it is, is not enough for those who died in the land of the fool's brother to attack him.

If the soldier is still alive, he can negotiate with his stupid brother, who, as expected, nods at the proposal.

Put your hands together, defeat the demon, and your stupid brother will take over the throne and you two will wipe me out.

Both of them. You can't take me to the stage before you kill me. At the moment, what are you thinking?

"But when the demon is playing... buddy, we need to revise our plans a little bit."

Speaking to his partner, who was listening to the report in silence, his partner nods quietly.

"Yeah, but it's convenient."

"Umr's move."

"Yes, the Empire is already surrounded by Umr, but I guess that's because the Devil took the time to play. If you keep taking more time like this, Umr will be even easier to move around."

"When you came to report to me, you doubted my ears."

Umr was slowly manning to surround the empire, apparently.

Not to be questioned by the countries around us, and to be able to protect a friendly country when the demon comes out in full swing.

Travel on transfer devices also prevents information from being leaked successfully through friendly countries.

As things stand, no one will notice Umr's movements or his sincerity.

All in all, the original Umr humans are sent to various countries.

Sending people to a friendly country to partner with technology and resources seems to be a success.

Was King Umr a technology offering in anticipation of that?

All of a sudden, though, we cannot mobilize a large number of soldiers.

It was necessary to move it well so as not to be suspicious of the surroundings and not suspected.

And now that the placement is almost over, a report came in from Umr's intelligence.

Umr also seems to have been killed by some demons in the first act, and now they have quite a bit of hand-working in place.

I didn't think you could get to me without anyone noticing.

Speaking of which, I was reminded that there was an assassination unit in Umr.

"Later, on my signal, a simultaneous attack, something like that. The soldiers of Umr would not be so far behind the devil. If you become an enemy, I hope you don't die because it's a threat."

I don't want to imagine the Knights of Umr becoming stronger and subordinated to demons.

"The boy's movement signals, because you're overdone."

"He's located in our nearest country."

"Tanaka Tallow will be here any minute with this, huh? And Inai Stell and Arne Bolodor together."

I groan looking at the spiritual stone the boy gave me.

While they are personnel not so suspected of moving, there are more threats than moving the army poorly.

I just have to thank them for the fact that they were moving me pretty early.

"I'd love to let you save me, but... I'm sorry, boy. I just have to fool you."

I guess my actions will fool him. That's even more distressing now.

I'm sure he's going to come to salvation. You're going to come and help.

I'm sorry that I decided to call you in the soonest possible time.

"Be a hero, boy"

At least that's what I can send you.
