Kuro no Maou

With the help of --------, I managed to drop Verdoria in just one day as declared.

"Although it is a small country, they would have gathered all their strength." It's a martial arts stone, Chrono. "

As pure friends, not kings and lords, I speak of Will.

After successfully capturing Verdoria, the face that was aboard the Sky Battleship, including me, immediately returned home. The enemy's main force was destroyed, and the royal castle was captured, along with the king and prince, and other royalty and dignitaries. The ground forces aboard the desert ships are all that are needed to complete the capture of all of Verdoria.

When I returned to the pandemonium early, I enjoyed my private time by having a drink party called a meeting with Will, who also reported and left me to go away.

Excuse me, Demon King.

"Oh, thank you."

Will's bodyguard, Celia, inherits my drink at the perfect time. I felt like I'd seen her face for the first time in a long time, but I was relieved to see her still serving Will.

Please, I don't want you to ask for help in a worn-out assassin's suit anymore. I was really in a hurry when I was Ischia.

And the reason I'm being entertained is because this is Will's temporary government building in Sparda. It seems to have been the head office of the Great Chamber of Commerce of those who were formerly among the leading merchants in Carlamara, and were set up in a prime location in the heart of the pandemonium. He was such a big merchant, and now he's dedicated to his parliamentary career, serving the Empire with tears and joy every day for his adorable Queen in Temenigl.

Those who climb to parliament in the lustful city of Karamala are the great merchants of greed, vice, and common sense. The irritability of the head is not unusual, and it boasts people's eyes, power to move people, charisma, and talents that have jumped out of the sky except for fighting ability. In addition, he has a wealth of experience, knowledge, and knowledge that has dived through many Shura venues.

These people knelt before Queen Lily, so they served as civil servants for the immediate battle force immediately after the establishment of the Pandemonium. Xanarius, the eldest son of adventure king Xanadu, is already a diplomatic envoy, and as Minister of Foreign Affairs, he flies to various countries by monolith every day.

In any case, many people switched from merchants to civil servants, so Lily was free to use the building she had taken over. I chose this place for the Sparda Temporary Government, and I've been thinking a lot about it... even monitoring it.

After all, the conversation here was probably out of tune for Lily. My actions must have been recorded with the highest priority in the original monolith on the white lily throne, the deepest in the fifth hierarchy.

Lily was always watching me. Even if nothing happens, our eyes are connected, and it's not something we care about more than that.

"Almost all of our troops were spawned here." It would be bad if you struggled with this difference in power. "

"What a big army, just moving it is a big deal." In this battle, it would have revealed the demon king's leadership power to the inside and outside. "

Leadership, I guess... I'm pretty much asking for Lily.

Even in the Avalon War of Liberation, fairy communication enabled smooth and efficient troop operations. Lily was the center of the communication network that kept the great army in every corner through the many fairies, and the original crackdown that divided them.

It is not necessary to talk about the advantages of long-distance communication in this alien army, where the basic means of transmitting information is still running. After all, I can't move my army without Lily.

"All I had to do was give instructions as planned." Rather, everyone who was able to move according to training was just the best. "

The execution of Lily's cheat moves such as "Atlas Wrath", which hit the desert tsunami, was truly impressive.

Admiral Sherguill maneuvered his fleet to provide quick landing and gunfire support, and his troops, led by Xenon Galt, quickly broke through the enemy lines.

Although the frontline collapsed in the tsunami, the backpack was occupied by the whole city. If you become an enemy city with no urban battles and no land reckoning, the defense side will have an advantage. It is thanks to Xenonghal's struggle that we have been able to show off the benefits of such a place.

"I see, the most prominent battle outcomes are the demon king and the queen." If we do not properly evaluate the work of each person who has seriously carried out the operation, there will be more people who are anxious for merit from now on. "

"At that time, I thought that was the best thing to do..."

Honestly, I think I'm sorry now. Thinking calmly, it would be strange for the top demon king and queen to monopolize the tricks.

The king said, "Well done, I'll send you a reward! It should be a compliment." If the King himself raises his hand, it will only take away his subordinates' chances.

"This battle is coming with full force." The damage would have increased somewhat if I had left all the fighting to my subordinates, but it might not have been enough for me in the future. "

"That's right..."

A little reflection on whether it was too much of a boulder. If I hadn't come out, Rasheed would have been captured, and there was nothing wrong with taking the Royal Castle.

When I arrived, the castle was almost dominated by Kai's assault battalion, and Saliel and the others were on the throne. There's no need for me to go all the way to the throne with a bell.

I'm sorry, but the momentum of catching Rasheed completely made the king fly off to catch him.

"No, but King Leonhardt is riding against Dragon King Garvinal." Isn't it okay for a king to fight? "

"It will only be for a limited time, when the Chronos will be against the Apostles. That's probably why it's called 'Anti-Cross'."

"... that's true, too"

I'm sorry, I was a bit overdone this time.

It can't be helped, let's use this reflection next. The next step was to be like the demon king and watch over his subordinates. I wish I could afford it.

"Will did a good job of keeping us apart." I almost left it to myself, but it was really helpful. Thank you. "

It's not a big deal compared to fighting on the front line.

That's all it took to move a large army, something Will said himself, but other than fighting, two things were important: movement and the station.

In order to fight, we must first go to the battlefield. I can fly the Sky Battleship or the Bell, but most of my soldiers will be transported by desert ships in this battle.

A large fleet that is almost identical in composition to the Atlas Allied fleet, but is unprecedented in its origins. It is a huge undertaking to assemble it, and we must send it to Verdoria, the battlefield without a single drop.

Already, they are an army united by the Erlord Empire, not a coalition of nations. Of course, we need to know and control all of those ships. Of course, more information is required to be managed not only by the ship, but also by the landing crew members accompanying the sailors below the ship's captain on board.

Once we have all the ships and soldiers, we need to get them the supplies they need. Even food for a large number of people can be enormous. It has to be aligned on a yearly basis for days, tens of days, or years if you are not good at it.

Where do you get that much food from? Who collects them? Where, how long, when do you carry it? If everything isn't well coordinated, the soldiers won't get any food.

And it quickly turned into a human-type monster that quickly became violent, such as a soldier who couldn't eat his food. Particularly, my Ellord Empire is an emerging nation whose loyalty to the country and patriotism are still unrelated. Most of the soldiers are not brainwashed, so the only way to tie them up is by military whip and profit.

Supplies aren't just about food. From weapons, armor, and other equipment, to medicines such as potions, and other daily necessities and consumables necessary for daily life, the march itself will be hampered if we do not have enough of them.

The station must be resupplied with what it needs, when it needs it, in the quantities and places it needs to be. It's only natural in words, but how big a job it is to execute this on a large scale and without stalling in reality is... it's hard to say that I can even imagine it. The Demon King Chrono's reality was that he could only fight on his own.

“You really did a good job. I didn't have any major problems with the resupply. Honestly, I thought that if we mobilized such a large army, we would definitely have more trouble."

"It's because the short-term showdown strategy was successful." If it was unexpectedly prolonged, there must have been a breakdown somewhere on the boulder... it's been almost all night for the last few days alone. "

I knew it. Did you make me impossible?

"This time it was a good experience. I can do better next time."

Laughing reluctantly, Will stirred up a glass of wine.

It's the same kind of Sparda that you used to act like when you were in seminary. It won't be made anymore, but it was a good thing that it was still in stock in Carlamara's many breweries.

I want to get it back before I run out of Sparda wine.....

"That's right, the battle is still going on." We need to complete a more efficient approach as soon as possible. I can only make trial and error right now. "

Will and the others, Verdoria's strategy was a good practice when it came to back support. After all, if you don't try to operate it, you won't know much about it.

Yes, this should have happened, but how did it happen?

"----Look, the pandemonium is boiling back to victory in the feat of His Majesty King Chrono, who brought down Verdoria in just one day."

Long live Her Majesty!

All for Ell Road!!

It is from the mid-sized vision installed at the front of this room that the most amusing cheers can be heard.

In the video, a reporter introduced a beautiful smile on the backdrop of a large crowd fooling around the pandemonium perimeter ruled by Joseph on the grounds that they had won the battle with a jock.

The reporter is an elf beauty! and boasts a beauty that everyone can roar about. However, not only the natural beauty, but also the makeup that was applied to nature was perfectly determined with care to perfect the beauty.

The tight costume that emphasizes the slim but seductive body line that comes out is a pitch-black imperial military uniform. It's not a regular women's uniform, nor is it for high-ranking officers. Undoubtedly, it was made just to make her look attractive.

"Verdoria is a traitor to the fool who never descended from the Demon King!" Goddess Atlas would be mad. The desert tsunami must have been the last of its kind. ”

"Now the Atlas is completely unified." I want the Devil King to unify the Pandora as it is legendary, and become a peace soon. ”

“Yes, life is much better than it used to be. I was anxious to hear that the war was about to begin... but it didn't have any particular impact, so I was relieved. I don't want you to go back to Carlamara, where bad merchants and vicious gangs are on the rise anymore.”

Beautiful elf reporters dare to interview upbeat people on the streets. If I could point the microphone at her, the man would stretch out his nose and answer with joy, and the woman would look at her admirably.

Successive interviews give back precise comments, and the appearance of progressing unchanged reminds me completely of the news program in the original world. No, I don't think there's such a beauty reporter on Earth.

"---- Elina Maitrix, the Imperial press officer from the scene, told us about it."

Why did Elina change jobs to a reporter?

Yes, I am now the Sparda Adventurer Guildmaster of the Sparda Interim Government, and I have taken her wishes and assigned her to the heavy duty division in charge of the military station operation, effectively subordinate to Will.....

”Umu, that's it... I wonder if it was a mistake after all.”

"No, it's not bad. Rather, it looks awesome, and you've done a great job at a level that doesn't have a vocation."

Without losing its beauty, the perfect smile mask forged as a guild receptionist is a pleasant talking point that is easy to hear and still gentle to the ears. I can see from just looking at the street interviews that they are top-notch in appearance, facial expression, and speech.

"I see, if Chrono admits it, you'll be relieved." I also thought that I had deviated from the scope of work entrusted to her. "

"Don't do what you want, I won't say anything." Will and Elina must have thought it was the best thing they could do. ”

“I'm glad you can trust me that much.”

Well, you're an ally of the soul.

I don't think Elina started as a reporter. I can imagine that it was some sort of idea.

Certainly, my first instruction was to work in the Heavy Class, but it just didn't seem like I was doing it, and I said, "What the hell are you doing?" I don't want to do a short-circuit imitation that yells at you, and I don't want to.

No matter how trivial, there are teachers and bosses who can only blame "I didn't do what I told you". In this case, whatever the reason, it doesn't make sense because what is contrary to "I am right" is an angry point in itself. A childish way of rage that does not listen to the other person, abandons having a fair point of view, and is only subjective. If someone who holds a position above it, such as a boss, it is the earliest one-sided violence.

And in terms of my relationship with Elina, I'm just a soldier with the monarch of a country. Whoever holds the seat of the Emperor at the turn of the curve says, "I don't like it" in his nomenclature, it is nothing but a sentence of execution.

Will also got too high on Rikishi's position, so I guess he's getting distracted by this part. I apologize for the unnecessary effort, but it's also something I can't help.

"I think there's something, but I can't imagine it at all."

"I didn't expect this to happen to me either... Miss Elina was also a normal, no, pretty good worker at first"

To hear Will's story, Elina did more than I thought she would. She said that while she could do her own job, she was also quite good at differentiating people. Perhaps it was the one who lived through hell during the Sparda defense battle.

In any case, there was no doubt that Elina's work helped to realize the abundance of military stations in the current Beldoria campaign. Will was also greatly appreciated for his work.....

"Shit! They don't get it!!"

One day, Elina shouted angrily.

Due to the mass mobilization, it was already a routine tea rush for Elina to shout at her... I'm sorry, but Will and his colleagues didn't care, but apparently Elina was more agitated than usual at that time.

”I'll make you understand... I'll make you understand...”

With a sneaky expression, it seemed that for some reason, no one could stop Elina who had grabbed the steel mace in her right hand and left. Elina, do you still have that mace...?

"So Lady Elina became a press officer that day."

"I'm sorry, I have no idea what that means."

Um, I didn't know what I meant at that time.

"I see, that's good." We're together, aren't we? "

I thought I was insane because I couldn't keep up with the story.

"So, after all, what happened?"

"It seems that Lady Elina is living in the pandemonium perimeter, but she was very dissatisfied with the consciousness of the ordinary ex-Karamaranese people who were not mentioned by Her Majesty Queen Lily." Not only that, but the Spardas who have taken refuge with us. "

Unhappy?

"Those who oppose war and those who still stand a chance in this war."

A large force mobilized during the Beldoria assault. In order to support this, I put the Simon's Magic Development Bureau and the Empire Factory into full operation and worked to expand the munitions. The development of bread with carob flour, which has managed to evolve to an edible level, is also part of this process.

Carob boo with complete nutritious calorie blocks, proud of ancient times. Even if nothing, it was the bottom of the food chain that connected the lives of orphans in an infinite spring state. There are many of these. That's why if you convert it to military food, it will cover a considerable amount, and it is also efficient in terms of nutritional supplementation, but as Fiona said, the carob that tastes like nothingness can't eat without being hungry.

The use of food derived from carob is limited to a certain percentage, otherwise ordinary food is required. Aside from food, the same applies to all kinds of supplies that the Imperial Factory alone can't cover.

In other words, we had to buy a lot of supplies from the civilian population and collect them.

"I see, the merchants who opposed the war and the idea of opportunity weren't cooperative."

"Even if not, there were many people who reluctantly sold and tried to catch the value." It's only natural for a merchant to act... but even so, it seems that it was hard for Lady Elina to forgive me. "

We're going to war, but we're not pursuing our own interests. Destroy yourself, Oraa! Is that how you feel?

From the standpoint of ordinary people, this is a case of outrageous rhetoric and the sound of military boots being heard correctly, but since we are on the side of war, it is troublesome not to get cooperation. What are you fighting for, and who are you fighting for?

Only those who know with all their heart what it means to fight the Crusades will actually understand what they've taken away from them.

"So I became a press officer myself, and I was doing propaganda activities."

"But this is surprisingly effective." Rather, it was the work of Lady Elina, who had her beauty and talent on the sidelines of her weapon -- but this time, her war propulsion is gaining momentum every day due to her victory over Verdoria in one day, as promised. "

Nowadays, it seems that there are quite a few winds that can't be said from the front, such as opposition to war.

Is this how you want to block the opinions of the minority while keeping up the majority momentum? Horrible synchronized pressure. Among them, non-citizens are likely to emerge.

"For my part, I know that Chrono doesn't like these methods very much. I think I've had enough. Shall I stick a nail in this area?"

"Thanks, Will."

It's enough to say that you thought of me that way. Therefore, there is no need for any more care.

"But you don't have to. Support Elina's activities. Lily would also be willing to help. If you need anything, just let me know.”

"... is it okay?"

"Elina's hatred of the Crusaders is real. And I need someone with that strong feelings. Make Elina the most popular caster of the Empire and maximize your influence on public opinion.”
