Dungeon Defense (WN)

The Imperial Palace of Habsburg. It was now the sole meeting place for the crappy Demon Kings.

At the very top, Emperor. Our dear King Rudolf sat solemnly and solemnly. In the first and second seats, Barbato and Marvas sat side by side. And the sequences in the empire followed in the highest order.

By the way, I stood just to the left of the emperor as the Law Office.

It was my role to hold the meeting on behalf of the Emperor. Although there is a Demon King that I don't like because I can see him. I had no choice. Power was originally revealed depending on where you stand at these events. I have the most power. What can I do?

“Freeing a slave is absurd! ”

The Demon Lord Ami yells in excitement.

Of course, the louder he was in the meeting, the more he talked, the more he cheated. In other words, Amiro was the Demon King who used to work with me when I was about to break through the Black Mountains, and while I was in charge of the empire, he was useless for a long time.

“Slavery is the most important institution! The most important and the biggest sector in the world is slavery. ”

“Why?”

I asked on behalf of the other Demon Kings.

Ami winked at me as I looked at him. I don't know why, but Ami was afraid of me. Maybe I thought I'd purge myself someday. You're paranoid, Tsk, tsk.

“…… because people's most desperate desires are always the lowest. I'm sorry to bring this up in the sacred space, comrades. But think about it, people poop every day, except for the Demon King, who's as virtuous as we are. And" someone "has to get rid of the poop! ”

Ami looks around and vomits the heat.

“Our civilized society is always full of feces. Slavery is the indispensable force involved in this indispensable task! An attack on slavery is like denying civilization itself. ”

“Heh. You got to clean up your own mess. What nonsense. ”

Gamigine smiles.

“There are only two kinds of people who ask someone to clean the bottom. Unfortunate disabled or just lazy, lazy rich. I don't know whose civilization you're talking about. ”

“ ……. ”

Ami shuts up. As a low-ranking Amir, you wouldn't dare to challenge Gamygin. So no matter how much time passes, you're still a baby. Ami was a plains, and Barbatos was watching the back of all the plains. What are you afraid of, Circle?

“Ah. Don't play with my kids. Let's be honest. ”

Barbatos interrupts with an annoying aura. Look. Barbatos took care of his faction's men, even if he didn't like them.

“Let the unfair slaves go free. This is good. But if you're enslaved by duel, if you've lost the war and you've been enslaved, shouldn't you make an exception for that? What are we going to do if we let them all go? We're not charities. ”

“All rational beings are equal. ”

As Barbatos steps forward, Pymon strikes out this time. The two of them stared at each other.

“Everyone is already entitled to the same rights when they are born. And that means that everyone is okay with the means and the means to save their lives. But slavery... ”

“Fuck, fuck. I've only ever wished for a day when there was no smell of food in your mouth. ”

Barbato growls.

“A man's life is precious? So you don't want to be ruled by someone else? Is this some kind of moral temple or something? It's been four years since we killed hundreds of thousands of those precious lives on the battlefield. ”

“War and slavery……. ”

“The same.”

Barbato snorts lightly.

“Why do we attack our enemies on the battlefield? There's only one reason. Because if we don't, the damn enemy will. That's it, you know what I mean? People can risk their lives for the sake of us. ”

Barbato rises from his seat. She glances around and raises her voice.

“War doesn't just happen on bloody battlefields! Life itself is war, and every day is war. We are willing to die for the common good anytime, anywhere. If slavery helps our interests, of course we accept slavery. ”

“Very impressive philosophy, Barbato. ”

The bartender said quietly. You hear a lot of sarcasm in your voice.

“Unfortunately, I've never been interested in philosophy. Barbatos. The problem is that the Horsemen are using slavery to accumulate enormous wealth. They're working thousands of slaves, trying to act like they're the Demon King. I support the abolition of slavery for tactical purposes of pressuring the Grand Dukes. ”

“The Neutral Wave agrees. ”

Marvas continues.

“The Demon King's authority must be absolute. For us Demon Kings, the Horsemen have always been slaves. There is now a very deformity that enslaves again in the horse kingdom. Why should we acknowledge other beings besides the Demon King as the 'Master of the Demon Nation'? ”

The Demon Kings roar. Many of them nod.

While the majority laughed when insisting on abolishing slavery based on rights like Python, Basago and Marvas were slowly persuaded. Pymon's lips curl up in fury.

I sighed inside. It was a natural sight to understand Pymon's feelings.

“Good. You're right. ”

Barbato grins.

“Let's say for our own sake that slavery is abolished among the Horsemen. Yeah, but what about the human species? Can't a human race be enslaved? ”

The Demon Kings murmur. “Humans talk differently,“ and "There aren't many human slaves in the horse system anyway, so it's okay to leave an exception," and more generally, they accept Barbatos' words. Demon kings were usually hostile to human species, so this was also natural.

“You don't have to give freedom to a lesser species. ”

“Neither is the Neutral Wave. Maybe we need to approach it from a different angle. ”

Marvas takes a step back, marking a reserve. Maybe you should look at the diplomatic politics of the continent.

“ ……. ”

Only Pymon squeezes his knee in the process.

Barbato makes his move. Barbatos struggles to get around Pymon.

“Comrades, your opinion is my opinion. Humans are the exception. But there seems to be a mole hiding among us. There is a woman who does not call herself the Old Testament, but uses fancy words like" rational beings. "”

“ ……. ”

“Hey, Pymon. I ask you a question. Do you think slavery should be abolished, too? ”

Pymon's gaze on the left is drawn to him.

Pymon tries to shoot Barbatos with his cold eyes.

“Yes, a girl believes that humans should be free. ”

“Traitor!”

Eligos, one of the Phantom Demon Monarchs, stood up and grumbled. At that point, the Phantom Demon Kings stood up in unison.

“The whore who defeated the Moon Blind's ideals! ”

“The rumor is true about the humans spreading their legs! ”

Then the Mountain Demon Kings stood up. The imperial palace quickly became noisy with old age.

“What did you just say to that son of a bitch, Pymon?! I'll test you to see if you can tease me! ”

“You plains are the emperors over there. Where are you keeping your crotch open to a ridiculous idiot! Barbatos is the bitch who gets eaten every night! ”

“These guys are opening up their mouths without a single thought. ”

Ha.

I sighed. Whenever I held a meeting, it looked like this. Looking at Marvas with the eyes that I'm sick of it, Marvas sighs equally. The two of us exchanged eyes.

"Marvas. Please stop those ferocious dogs. ’

"What kind of babysitter should I be wasting my time trying to stop them? ’

‘Besides Marvas, who else can control the cherubim? ’

‘You do it. Honestly, your girlfriends don't leave much cover. ’

…… something like this passes implicitly.

I sighed again. Marvas was the caretaker of the state while I was away. It would be funny to say I owe you, but I gave up my work anyway. I have no choice but to leave here...

I opened my lips.

“Quiet, everyone. ”

The first thing Citri said to me was shut up.

Then Bazaar, Gamygin, Pymon, and Barbato closed their mouths. Brother Zephyr and Brother Veled sat down.

The high-ranking Demon King and the ruthless Matufa Demon King shut their mouths as one. The rest of the Shattered Demon Kings slowly began to silence. Suddenly, as the speech subsided, some Demon King was puzzled and looked around. They soon understood the atmosphere and sat down awkwardly.

In 30 seconds, the palace was silent.

“You know that. In the meantime, the Grand Dukes have been cooperating with Baal the Great Sage King to deliberately help the Monthly Tribe fail. The ducs have been deceiving us since before we were divided into the plains and the mountains and the Neutral Waves. ”

I made eye contact with the Demon Kings one by one.

“The Grand Duke is our enemy. ”

The Demon Kings had a strong pride, regardless of their faction.

“I don't want anything like the Grand Duke to happen again. There's only one way to be sure. It is the natural containment of the other Horsemen, except our Demon King, to satisfy their power and wealth. ”

To persuade them as a whole, we had to use our pride, not our beliefs, not our interests.

“Let's set an example for the ducs who came at us without knowing the subject. ”

“ ……. ”

“Of course, there are some dogs who still don't know the topic. You would disobey to order the liberation of all slaves. Even whiners whining to acknowledge even human slaves. If we make an exception for Goblins, the Grand Dukes will immediately be collecting Goblins from all over the world, and if we make an exception for Humans, they will be collecting Humans. ”

I smiled.

“There should be no exceptions to our enemies. ”

Total obedience.

A desperate punishment.

“Only our Demon King has the right to rule the world. ”

Immediately thereafter, a vote was cast on the abolition of the front of slavery.

On the eve of Valpurgis, all agendas were decided by voting. But not everyone had the right to vote. Only seven people elected after the election participated in the vote. In other words, I, the palace white, did not vote.

And only by unanimous agreement did the policy pass.

On behalf of the Emperor, I received seven pre-emptive Demon Kings' votes. There were no secret ballots or anonymous votes. Each of you voted with your name in the open.

“We will announce the results of the vote. …… Marvas agrees with abolition. ”

“Hmm."

Marvas nods. He gave me a meaningful look.

“Gamigine, in favor of abolition. Citri, in favor of abolition. ”

The Demon Kings muttered quietly. Again, I was told that I would pass unanimously. An agenda that might be discussed on the night of Valpurgis actually came to some agreement before the meeting was held publicly. It was what I thought it would be again.

In that situation, I hardened my face.

“... and cheap. No revocation.”

The roar of the left side grows stronger.

This was the first time a bartender had cast a down vote. I frowned and continued to recite the results of the vote.

“Zephyr, no abolition. Pymon, abort. ”

I looked at Barbato one last time.

Barbato raises his jaw.

“…… Barbatos, against abolition. ”

The imperial palace has become even more chaotic.

Barvatos and Jeopardy cast a vote on an issue that I voted in favor of. The three of us were always on the same page. It was cheap and so was the case.

“… 4 Votes of Acceptance and 3 Votes of Countermeasure to inform that the agenda for abolition of the front of slavery has been met. ”

For the first time.

The agenda ended with our opinions divided.
