Kuro no Maou

"Hmm...."

I was bothered enough to roar like that.

Build the Imperial Army!Though breathtaking, I was stuck making concrete plans.

When I was with the Dark Knights, I didn't have to worry so much.With a limited number of personnel, we've already figured out what's right for you.Just split it according to your role in the fight.It's an extension of the adventurer party, and the experience of leading exactly the same number of fighters in Alsace is greater than anything else.

However, if an army of one country is organized with more than 10,000 people, it is a completely unknown territory.Should I have been student chairman?There aren't 10,000 students in my high school, and the student council election in my grade was over in the first place.

"Ahhh... I miss everything..."

"Master"

"Eh!?"

I was a little surprised to be called out in the middle of a complete nostalgia escape from reality.Looks like he was asleep during class.

No, I'm still trapped in memories.

What's the matter, Sariel?

"I'm terribly worried."

"Well then, I can't do anything bad...."

Unlike sheep, Sariel basically reads the air and seldom speaks to herself except when necessary.

However, Sariel went out of her way to look at me and call out to me, so she made me worry too much.Nevertheless, I'm sure I'm not in the mood to answer right away that there's no problem.

No, should we try to sweeten it up here?

I mean... I don't think Sariel is the best fit.In disclosing my troubles now.

Sariel, let me talk to you.

"Yes"

"Take a look at this first.It was my idea. "

This is the usual fifth level command room, so you can use a holographic projector that is more like SF chic than magic.Lily has taught me how to manipulate a monolith, and I can handle it to the point where I can replace a computer.I'm offline because I don't have an internet connection.

Based on the information already entered, such as the personnel and production status of the pandemonium, a rough draft is created as data.

Organizational charts I made, ranks assigned to each, troop formation, etc., emerge as multiple screens.

Sariel answered without even glancing at it.

"That's fine."

"You know I don't just want you to say yes, right?"

"I've been watching Master's work.I know everything. "

In the meantime, no one was in the command room during the work, including Prim, but Sariel was OK because he said it was the only one in the boulder.Sometimes you brew me coffee.

Because I was focused on my work, I knew Sariel had time to spare, but if she thought about it, she wouldn't be able to do that.

"Why do you think this is good?"

"There is no military organization on the modern Pandora continent premised on the equipping of guns.Therefore, the idea of a knowledgeable master makes the most sense, even if the modern military form is not professional. "

"But it's the people of our time who actually fight.I hope we're alone, but many Spartans and Atlas will be soldiers from now on.I wonder if it's a form of organization that I'm not used to. "

"I have that concern. However, since the gun was adopted as the main equipment, it is inevitable that the operation will be different from the previous one.Now is the time to organize the Imperial Army from scratch and start a new military form. "

"Even if that's the obvious knowledge of listening."

"When compared to my memory, I don't see any major mistakes in this proposal."

"I didn't write Lanobe in the literary and artistic department on Date.There's only one form of military organization. "

This time, I decided to adopt a prestigious and modern class.It's a rank name in the army that anyone has ever heard of, like a colonel or a sergeant.

As far as I know, I've never heard of an army that uses these class names in Pandora today.

Speaking of which, what about Sinclair?

"There is no unified hierarchy because the Cross Church and the aristocracy have separate powers.Approximately, each other's power relationships determine who holds the command. "

Even in such a chain of command, we've conquered Sparta, so I'm not tired of it.

"The upper chain of command is often complicated, but the units of the unit are roughly unified with the small, medium, and large."

Maybe the Crusaders called the commander that, like a platoon captain or a squadron captain.It doesn't matter who's in command around here, so there's not much confusion at the field level.

Anyway, even in the Arctic continent of the Sinclair Republic, we don't organize under that name.

In that case, I'll be sure to recruit you in the Imperial Army for the first time in modern times.

"Divide Lily into five ranks as Marshal: General, Underboss, Lieutenant, Corporal, and Soldier."

Use the holo screen to zoom in on a simple org chart.

It was Lily who stood at the top.The fairy princess, the queen of hell, and henceforth the marshal of the Elrod Imperial Army, is the only leader the Devil has entrusted to command the entire army.

In the first place, the existence of an empire could not have been established without Lily.Lily will move more smoothly directly than if I were to lead the entire army as the Devil King.

I'll tell Lily the strategic request.Based on that, she will move the Imperial Army optimally.

Admiral Lily, who is more important to the Empire than such a demon king, is followed by the rank of general.

General, Lieutenant General, Major General, three.

General Joseph Rodriguez, Grand Duke of Karamara.

It is the Grand Duke, the outer perimeter of the Pandemonium, who makes up the majority of the Imperial Army soldiers.In view of the current situation and personnel, Joseph himself, who ruled the Grand Duke, had no choice but to serve as General.

Until recently, he may have been the boss of a weak gang on the verge of dissolution, but his position and loyalty to Lily will leave him to no one else.

Lieutenant General Will.

Many of the Spartans who have evacuated will become soldiers of the Imperial Army.The bigger reason is that the Imperial Army will give Sparda's ranks as well.

They are experienced in moving the country and the army in active service.The upper layers of Karamara have been brainwashed, so it is difficult to use their talents, but they are not yet wearing a ring, so they can expect to do their job as usual.

The more Spartan commanders there are, the easier it will be for Will to move to a higher position in the army.

However, if we use it to make Spartans too wide within the Imperial Army, the Marshal will not remain silent.

He recruited a general from the kingdom of Gin Atlas named Chargaire Kartahar.I suppose it was the Grand Admiral who commanded the whole army in the Atlas fleet.

In the current Empire, the Atlas Desert accounts for more than 99% of the territory.Homeland defense is good enough for Lily alone, but because it is an alley to boulders, defensive strength is important even as a normal force.So, what makes Atlas the most powerful is the navy from a desert ship.

The general of the sea, recognized by everyone in Atlas, is Shergueil.There are also two names, "Gin's Ouaggit."

A vision of superior fleet command capabilities and state-of-the-art telepathic communications to support them.And the courage to choose to attack without fear of Shangri-La's shelling, and the decisive power to surrender all troops before Lily's power.As for Lily, she admits that she has enough men in her fleet to keep the peace in the Great Desert.

"It's not just the three generals, but now, given the size of it, it's just the three of us."

Fiona...

……

"Should Fiona not be appointed an officer?"

"Hmm... after all, do you want to hear that?"

Sariel nodded.

Staring at me by my innocent red eyes, I told the truth.

"You have no idea what to do."

"I understand that feeling."

At this time, it is good to have Fiona as the general in full employment.Lily will move the Imperial Army anyway.

But that's why it's not good to rely on her to continue running the organization.

Fiona would also be in trouble if she didn't have to do anything special just because she was great.In the first place, she is a lonely witch who only leads the dark knights' sorcerer platoon.It is too harsh to ask for a large organization or command capability.

"But if you make it so half-class, it looks like it's going to rub against you."

In the army, superiors' orders are absolute.

But let's say Fiona appointed him to the rank of Captain, just as a skilled sorcerer.On the battlefield, if she were to listen honestly to the superior officer's orders that she didn't even know her face... well, Fiona would follow them unless they were so unreasonable, but in emergencies such as the appearance of the Apostle, she would believe in her judgment and move without waiting for orders.

If you're an army, you'll have to punish me for breaking orders, but it's hard to bring Fiona to justice because it's a well-known fact that she's my lover, the Demon King.Maybe I'll cover for Fiona.Even though I know it's sweet.And someone who can express an opinion directly to me is probably as good as Lily and Will.

"It's not good to be great, it's bad to be just a magician, Fiona."

"We should split this up and grant an exception.It is independent of normal command. "

What? I'm just a high school student, but I'm actually an agent of a covert organization that protects my country because I'm a psychic, and I can't handle the police or the militia, a cool position like that.

"Is that acceptable?"

"Fiona is not a magician.This is a strategic weapon for us that can counter the Crusade's strategic weapon, the Apostle. "

Oh, my God, it's getting cooler than a high school pro.Okay, I wonder if I can take that route from now on....

"I can't."

"The fact that Lily was the true demon King meant that I would be free ---"

"I can't."

"... Anyway, whoever's going to be the trump card against the Apostle is going to report to me like a special task force dedicated to it."

"Yes, like Fiona, who specializes in combat rather than command should be treated like that."

"Either way, we must prepare counter forces against the Apostle, and Fiona is certain of the members.Independent Special Forces under the Demon King would be the best fit. "

"Do you know the name of the unit?"

"Of course, it's Anti-Cross."

"It's a proven, good name, I think."

The irony of being the first victim?Let's assume that you honestly recognize its power here.

So far, only the formation "Anti-Cross" has defeated the Apostle.Among the two messengers who defeated the Seventh Apostle Saliel in the Galahad War and appeared shortly before Karamara's arrival, Mariabelle has almost completely sealed himself with an 'anti-cross' without me.

Fiona's "Purgatory Boundary (Inferno Fall)" has not yet been broken in the form of "Fairy Combination (Excerion)", the greatest combat force of the moment from the weakening of the Apostle.

It hurts to break my balls more than Mariabelle has ever lived... but even so, it shouldn't be so easy for an apostle to flip over.

"From now on, let's gather the best in addition to Elementor and invent an apostle's strategy."

At present, there are already four apostles in Pandora.

Eighth Apostle Eye, who took Prince Eisenhalt's body and revived it with much more power than before.

The Eleventh Apostle Mass, who is my cause and who will hate me.

There was no direct contradiction, but Lily's provocation still resented me, the Twelfth Apostle Mariabel.

And the thirteenth apostle Nero, who was awakened to a new position instead of the seventh.

All four of them are hostile to me, so fighting them is inevitable.

"In the meantime, let me talk to you again about the Anti-Cross and the Apostolic War."

"Yes, Master"

"When that happens, Saliel will naturally be in Anti-Cross."

"Yes, thank you."

"But I don't mind if one of them has command... Colonel Sariel."

"Yes... Colonel?"

"Yes, Sariel will be colonel."

It's not written anywhere in the materials I made, so Sariel wouldn't even know what she was looking at.But within me, regardless of the organization, it was certain that Sariel would be a colonel or equivalent.

I was a little surprised at your sudden appointment. I twice or three times had red eyes twitching.

"Shouldn't slaves be given the rank of officers?"

"Yes, Sariel, you are my slave.I'm your only slave.Never a slave to the Empire. "

I dare say that you are a slave.

Originally, it was just a farce to convince Sparda.It is easier than the creation of your own country, the Elrod Empire, to show you how to free Sariel.

However, Sariel is not willing to ask for her freedom.So, that's fine now.You should stop being a slave one day when you can express your feelings more.

But I can't allow anyone else to think of Sariel as a slave.There is no longer any need for excuses against Sparta.

I want Sariel to do his best as an ace in this Imperial army.Not to mention her personal courage, but she has certain command abilities and experience.And most importantly, only Sariel knows about the modern army besides me.

There is no reason why she should not be used as an officer.

"So please, Sariel, I need your help."

"Yes, Master, I am your only slave.I will respond to any orders. "

From now on, I may not have time to take care of myself as a maid.I feel a little lonely when I think so.

"So, from here on out, I'm going to be under the rank of deputy--"

As mentioned earlier, officers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers, and so on.Summarizing the five ranks from the general are as follows:

General, Lieutenant General, Major General's General.

Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel, Major's aide.

Lieutenant, lieutenant, lieutenant.

Sergeant, sergeant, corporal.

Private, Private, Private.

In the modern army, there are more subtle divisions, but for the first time, it is unified into three stages of five classes for me to understand.

Therefore, the size of the troops each leads is divided into five.

Division, 10,000. The division leader is a general. More than four regiments.

Regiment. Thousands. Regiment commanders are more than aides. More than two battalions.

Battalion, 500 men. The captain is a lieutenant. More than three squadrons.

Squadron, 150 men. The squadron leader is a lieutenant. Four platoons or more.

Platoon, 30 men. The platoon leader is a sergeant.

The number of people is not fixed, but around.Especially when it comes to more than a battalion, there is a considerable difference in the number of people depending on how many teams are included, so this is only an indication.

From a larger regiment, aides and generals become captains depending on the number of troops.

The number of people in each team is not equal because I remember it was roughly like this.

A squadron of about 150 to 200 would have been a theory like the number of dumbbells, the limit to how many people could recognize everyone in the community.Because of human instinct, it seems that even without knowing this theory, primitive settlements and groups settle down to as many people as nature.

In Sparta, the 100-man army and the crusade squadron are all made up of about 100 to 200 people, and I'm sure the armies of other countries... No, wait, I wonder if the number of dumbbells will change slightly when it comes to other races.There is room for verification, but it is like this for the time being.

"Place at least one machine gun, one sniper gun and one sorcerer in the platoon."

Machine guns continue to be prototyped with craw rifles, and by the time they were finally ready for mass production, they had just fallen into a Sparda.However, in the capital defense battle, the prototype mass-produced machine guns were used in full operation and the field tests were sufficient.

Simon talked about the need for minor problems and adjustments, but it proved to be at a level that was sufficiently operational to deploy.After that, we will be able to produce it in full operation at Factoria's third-tier factory.

There are two types of sniper rifles, one specially designed for sniper rifles and one with a scope that is particularly accurate among craw rifles.In addition to snipers, some snipers are called Marksmen.

Indeed, Marksman basically acts with the platoon members in the sense of a selected archer, that is, a good shooter.It is mainly equipped with a high-precision Crow rifle scope.

Snipers should have been asked for a higher level of capability to move away from the squad with their opponent's observer (Spotter).Therefore, sniper rifles that have not yet been mass produced will be given priority.Sue was a spotter in the Alsace defense, so Simon was still a sniper.

It doesn't matter what the exact definition is, it's just trying to equip the best shooter in the unit with a good gun to shoot.

And as a magician, if you have a gun, low-level attack magic is meaningless, but defense magic and support magic are different.Magic skills vary greatly from person to person, but it's no wonder you don't use magic powers.Even low-level magic, defense and support will be different if only one can be used.

In fact, I would like to have one healer belong to me, but anyway, the number is smaller than that of the magician, so it is unlikely that I can get enough personnel to deploy to all platoons.Soldiers will have to learn first aid and valuable healers will have to act as health teams.

"Does the platoon consist of people of different races and origins?"

"That's where it bothers me... for the first time, I'm going to try a mix of races, origins, and everything that doesn't matter."

The Pandemonium army that was brought in during Sparta's capital defense battle consisted only of Lily's perfectly trained Karamara people, so they fought disciplined and correctly as expected.But from now on, we can't make every soldier that good.

The Grand Duke, the Spartans, the nations of Atlas, when these volunteers join, is it really okay to form a unit with a random mixture of races and origins?

"I have knowledge of the earth and experience in the Crusades, but I am not familiar with military organizations of various species."

"Alsace was doing well, so I don't think a mixed unit would be a problem, but that might be the case."

At that time, everyone was an adventurer, so there was an assumption that no one was obsessed with their origins.Human, Fairy, Elf, Dwarf, Beast, Goblin, Oak, Slime, Undead.There were others of various races.It was a fantasy of the other world.

And they all fought together.It turned out to be the worst thing that didn't pay off... but it must have been a wonderful fight.

After all, that's the only way my unit should be.

"I think we should explore possibilities now, too.In addition, there is no doubt that units formed exclusively of the same race can be operated using the characteristics of the race. "

Troops that utilized the strengths of these species, such as Elf Archers, Dwarf Engineers, Veterinarians' High Mobility, Harpy's Air Force, Fisherman's Underwater Force, etc., were typical of fantasy works.

Of course, I'll do the same.

Now you can quickly build a desert unit made up of only alligator lizardman diesel species specialized in desert white warfare.I mean, the kingdom of Jin Atlas used to have elite troops like that.

"Master, there is only one species whose operational laws have already been finalized."

"Is that what this is about?"

"Fairy tribe"

Oh, by the way, Lily called and collected it.

While the White Lily Throne has a considerable number of breeding and immigration, it is not a large enough number to be fully recruited in the Imperial Army.

I wonder if there are fairies other than Lily who will seriously cooperate in the war.Eating, sleeping, playing, heavy rotating, living women.

"Fairies can be telepathic communicators."

"Well, telepathic communication is much better performed by the fairies themselves.It's not just magic equipment that has its limits. "

"But there's something else that Lily really meant when she called the fairies."

"Is there a role for the military that takes precedence over communications?"

"The telepathic power of the rebels to roast. That is, the Ultra High Police."
