"But isn't it too much to take the title from the nobility just because you won the war?

If we were able to occupy the other country in the usual way of victory, the titles of nobility are often allowed to pledge subordination to ourselves after we have left them intact or demoted them.

War may be an end in itself to taking the other's territory, but more often than not, the gain from the territory is an end in itself. Even if you only get territory, you can't make an immediate profit with someone who doesn't know anything.

Well, sometimes confiscated for the purpose of giving territory as a reward for contributing to the war, but it's more efficient to subordinate it if it's for profit.

"Right. I was also thinking about keeping the title intact if I could benefit from using them intact."

"Ah..."

The clerk also remembered the current situation.

It is the demons who rule the Gardis Empire today.

"We need to get rid of the demons first. It also needs to drive away all of the massive demons that can control the country"

Let's say you recaptured the nearest city. We need to create a situation where demons won't attack us again in order to rebuild it.

Even if we could make the exterior walls repair, it is likely that if the demons that rule another city push over, they will be ruled by demons again. In spite of being a demon at any rate, he uses tools to destroy the outer walls and carry out intrusions.

Cage Castle is likely to be pointless.

The most likely way is to rebuild it after banishing all the demons that rule the Gardis Empire.

"Saying everything is enough of the demons that dominate the human living area. You don't have to crusade to those who don't come out of the demonic habitat."

By nature, many demons rarely leave their territory. Occasionally, however, demons come out of the territory and attack people. So the Adventurer Alliance regularly sends out crusade requests.

The aim is to restore it to its normal state only.

The problem is the current situation, which is growing beyond normal.

"Demons are coming out of the labyrinth one after another"

Labyrinth city of Ilkite.

It has a labyrinth in the heart of the city and profits from exporting the resources obtained from the labyrinth.

The demons were overflowing from there.

It's been about an hour since we continued surveillance, but there's already a number of demons out there that aren't strange to fill the city with.

"Given the circumstances, I'm pretty sure the demons are coming out of the labyrinth"

I knew the answer because I heard it from the enemy's labyrinth lord. Still, I could be sure by actually seeing it.

"Yeah, it's too big for a demon outburst."

Endorsements were also obtained from the ministers.

"What we need to do now is crusade the demons that are occupying the city after we've managed to overflow demons from the labyrinth."

Drive out demons that are about to become more than tens of millions.

Some of them were stunned by the uninterrupted operation. Rio was also facing troubled problems.

"How much time will it take to normalize this situation?

No one could answer.

Maybe I won't succeed.

Still, if I were to...

"We're going to need time on a decade-long basis at least. There are a lot of young people out here, but I hope we can work this out while we're alive."

I'm pretty sure it won't end while I'm on active duty.

That meant that the next generation had to be entrusted with solving the problem.

"Think of me when you have to entrust such a troublesome problem to Gardill. The problem is, I want to keep it a little less within the moment."

The people of the Gardis Empire who lost their homeland.

Even if we manage to accept it, the grievances of the refugees will be smoked.

"Territorial nobility with no land even if the nobles had the title as it were, legal nobility with no job. I'd rather not have those people."

I have trouble being swept up in authority by only having a bad title.

"The execution of the royal family is the same. They need to be sacrificed."

The aim is to have the majority of the problem carried.

For once, it seems like a policy to keep alive about the pre-adult royal family, but there are definitely hard days when even if they do, they are to be exposed to malice.

"Above all, it's hard to be a disturbing molecule later"

The royal family of living children will also be forced to live under surveillance.

That was the way I took responsibility for being a father who had to push the problem on my child.

"You can fulfill the minimum step of keeping your child alive. Put him under strict surveillance and kill him alive should give him some bad reviews. But I accept that kind of bad reviews."

That's all I made up my mind while I was talking to General Quenti.

"I'm pretty sure we're going to be busy. Understand that we don't have room for footprints."

……

Everyone gets silenced and made to think.

I couldn't overlook the people in need, but the scale was too large to anticipate anything specific.

"By the way, is it possible to support earlier?

Soldier station personnel confirm with their hands up.

Because from his senses, it didn't seem like he could afford to support one country.

Others had similar doubts even if they did not know the specifics.

However, I could not express my opinion before the emperor who would proceed on the assumption that I could do so.

"I can"

I assure you, Rio, that's where it kicks in.

Rio doesn't even know his country's stockpile. Naturally, it's not the emperor's job.

So here I answered as a labyrinth lord.

"The labyrinth is countered by the power of the labyrinth. Since we cannot proceed with the story in hiding, we shall trust and teach those who are participating in this meeting. I attacked the labyrinth in the Imperial capital to gain power. With that power, the consideration can be matched with the necessary supplies."

"I see. That's what you're paying for."

Gold coins and treasures will be temporarily lost from the Glenvarga Empire.

It was intended to compensate by later recapturing the city.

"I'll take care of the supplies I need. The people of the Gardis Empire will not be able to accept the terms just now, but we need to be ready to move quickly when they are ready to be accepted. Just get ready under the water."

Copy that.

The ministers who trust Rio move on the premise that they get support supplies.

Only me and Rio, the treasurer who followed us from Teito, were left behind. Originally, the treasurer accompanied him for an audit of whether wasted expenses were being spent or embezzled on the battlefield.

But now there's something else that needs to be prioritized.

"I want you to look on the ground and calculate how much consideration you will need to support me. Let me put on as many escorts as I need."

"Yes, sir."

"And one more thing"

"Something?

"The attack of the Labyrinth, which is producing demons, should be carried out as soon as possible."

The more time passes, the more demons are produced.

Labyrinth attack is better fast if you think of later recapture operations.

"I don't know anything about the military."

"I know. In the first place, the maze is not going to be attacked by the army."

There are some narrow places in the labyrinth that are only large enough for a few people to pass through.

It is also tantamount to committing suicide, such as sending troops to such places.

"No, I'm going to help you along the way to reduce the drain."

Use the army to help.

But it's a handful of elites that move as the main one.

"Labyrinth attack is going to ask the Adventurers Mars"

Attack of the Labyrinth with the Labyrinth Lord.

Naturally, the labyrinth lord gets in the way. It was visible that even if I put in an S-rank adventurer, they would pay me back.

Labyrinth Lord is Labyrinth Lord.

Rio is also a labyrinth lord, but given his position as emperor, he can't leave lightly.

We had to leave to settle things.

"I want you to think about how much reward I should offer them for putting out a request for a labyrinth attack"
