"Sion?"

"What?"

Kanon calls out to me, who is looking away at the cadres who are going to pursue.

"I understand the importance of pursuing to reduce humanity's strength is important ... Isn't there a defense against the invasion of the Demon King, Kaoru? Is it in time now?"

Invaders carrying the Demon King Kaoru are invading the territory of Hakusan, the southern territory of the Astor Empire. The progress of the invasion is still at the second level. My current level is 19-that is, the last level where [Eukaryotic] is installed is 19 levels. With executives focused on defense, repulsion was not difficult.

"Is there 24 invaders?"

"Yes. Probably the mainstays of the Demon King Kaoru are 24 invaders invading."

"Who should be dispatched to ensure a successful defense?"

"Yes ... two of the invaders are ex-humans. I want to believe that they are not as strong as Rina and Kotetsu ... but I can't be careful. Besides that, I'm supposed to be under the same unique control as Izayoi. There were five people, and about two people who seemed to be former Demon Kings ... If we were to succeed in defending ... I think we should send all executives to defense! "

Kanon analyzes the invaders' strength and answers my questions.

"If you can defeat all of the Demon King Kaoru's main power here ... it's worth defending, but do you think all can be defeated?"

"Hmm ... the invaders have also destroyed their subordinates in order to secure their way out, so it's impossible to go around by [transfer] .... Maybe. "

It was quite difficult to defeat those who flee with all their might.

"I have the same idea. Let's say we're going to defend against the invasion of the Demon King Kaoru, in which case the people devoted to the defense will need the power of the Astor Empire-all the power. Here's a strong enemy, asking a question to Kanon, let's say you've defended your cadres, supposed that you've succeeded in defending for a positive future, so you're supposed to be able to attack Nonoichi City Hall as it is Is it? "

"--Ah!?"

"More ... This Governor was successful in three hours, but the Governor of Nonoichi City Hall-how much time is needed to destroy the Kanazawa Liberation Army?"

The rule of success for Governance is that all enemies within a three-kilometer radius should be extinguished three hours after Governance is set.

Then, is the act of “government” competing for land with humanity a decisive battle in three hours? -The answer is no.

Governance is an action you take when you are convinced that you can eliminate all opposition within a radius of 3 km in three hours. In order for Governor to succeed, it was necessary to reduce the number of enemies within Governance beforehand and engage in large-scale battles with humanity.

Elaborate preparation—Governance is what you'll do when you're convinced that a three-kilometer radius of opposition will disappear after three hours of extensive combat.

If so, how long does it take to "rule" the Nonoichi City Hall?

The number of enemies is about 300,000 including non-combatants. As a result of the skirmish with Kaoru Maoru, the quality as well as the number is not bad. In addition, Nonoichi City Hall and the surrounding facilities were surrounded by solid walls, and the land was completely enemy.

Given these factors ... it's almost impossible to say less than a week. Half a month ... is it too harsh? I want to finish it within a month ... how about?

“…… 1 month in the shortest possible, 3 months if prolonged.”

As I simulate in my head, Kanon answers my assumptions.

"It's a bit too cautious ... it's a reasonable calculation, and the answer to the first question-why leave the invasion of the Demon King Kaoru and pursue it? To make time as short as possible. ''

It was three hours ago that the Demon King Kaoru began invading my territory. Now I go to defense, and even if I succeed in defense, I can earn three hours. What's more, the strength needed to ensure a successful defense-all executives.

Though executives have grown steadily, they have just finished their Governance battle. In addition, if we are to fight against the Demon King Kaoru's flagship, we will need some rest for a while.

So the conclusion I reached was to dedicate some territories to the Demon King, Kaoru, as originally planned, and to prioritize the enemy to be defeated.

"I see ... I was still inexperienced as a military teacher ... but my experience as a military teacher has increased!"

Kanon shows a slight depression, but quickly recovers and smiles.

"What's your experience as a military teacher? ... Okay. Kanon, we'll be in pursuit!" "Eh, what?

"I'm going to earn visible experience points, not mysterious experience points!"

Thus, I went to pursue with Kanon.

3 hours later.

Pursuit was successful. Approximately 10,000 humans were near the territory controlled by the pursuit. He succeeded in sweeping out 30% of the humans who escaped while being confused, and since 50% of the humans surrendered, they created a simple prison and put them in arrest in the territory of Noto.

"Everyone had a hard time. We will start invading Nonoichi City Hall at 18:00 tomorrow."

I will tell everyone tomorrow's actions to everyone in the Astor Empire, including their subordinates who have finished the pursuit.

"I'm getting tired in today's battle, but it's the same with the enemy. It's a critical moment. I hope everyone will be active tomorrow. Modest, but high quality for those who participated in the battle I prepared the meals, each one taking a short break, but resting slowly. "

I finished the message to my subordinates with words of labor.

I-Everyone except Demon King needs food and sleep. This was a troublesome problem. Because I don't need it myself, it's hard to decide when to eat and sleep.

There is no other person who can fight insomnia and rest. It is impossible to give three meals a day and eight hours of sleep during the war, but he thought that he should be considered to maintain high morale as the king of the Astor Empire.

As in the past, it was easy to think of subordinates as disposable, but now ... such violence does not pass. The area of territory, which was only 6 km2, expanded to control more than 70% of Ishikawa Prefecture, and the number of former demons and human beings increased.

It's true that my own values have risen more than before, but I'm laughing at the situation where I feel less free than before.
