Renting an empty house to the village chief made it a major business there.

We've decided to work out a ground dragon crusade.

But Satie raises a strange voice.

"Do you need an operation or something? Master Ike recently claimed to have defeated the legendary Cesar Pent. And this time, there's the Demon King. If it's about a ground dragon, can you afford to take it down?

The Demon King who hears that corrects it.

"If the dragon is the only one coming, we might be able to handle it."

"What does that mean?

Satti looks strange.

I was the one who explained it instead.

"That village chief said that in a 20-year cycle, the earth dragon would pass through this village. Unfortunately, we in the Demon King's Army didn't know that information."

"Naturally. It hasn't been that long since we occupied this Arsenum."

The Demon King supplements.

"But the information, the humans will know. I mean, there's a human army on that plane, too."

"I see... the kings' alliance march in shielding the earth dragon."

Satti nods lightly convincingly.

"Oh, the Grounddragon itself, I guess I'm not taking a human side. It's just that there's a human village in the corridor that goes around every few years. Just use it."

"But I wonder if the League of Kings can come up with a way to do that. Do you want to run it even if you come up with it again?

was the word of the Demon King.

"… will probably execute"

"The rationale."

"The League of Kings has a man named E. Ludre. It's an incompetent enemy army, but only the one is quite clever. If he knows this information, he'll use it."

"I see."

"Intelligence says he's assigned to the western front. First of all, I'm sure you'll at least come to the occasion."

"So do we concentrate our preparations for the Demon King's Army in the West?

"No, that's enemy thought. If the defense of the North becomes thin, we will be attacked by Leesas from there."

"Indeed, Leesas, the king's capital, has a witch who emptied the wind hole with the magic of Meteorite Fall. Now I'm losing my function as a castle. The Northern Guards will not be reduced any more."

"Really, you're an annoying witch."

I laugh unwittingly, but that's like a joke.

If Cephiro hadn't dropped the castle, the Demon King's Army would have been in further crisis.

"So how do we prevent enemy soldiers? How do we defeat the Ground Dragon?

"Ideally, after the earth dragon passes through this village, attack the enemy from behind and block the exit route," he said.

"Um, that's what I thought of the rest. Dare to lure enemy forces deep into the territory, refuse to leave before attacking. If you do, you will somehow destroy the enemy."

Satti was shaking slightly when she heard about the devilish method of warfare.

"Does that sound cold? Little girl."

…………

Satti silenced for a moment, but said as he had decided to.

"... Yes, I think it's very cold"

It would be a courageous attitude, because you make yourself the Supreme Commander of the Demon King's Army and give your opinion to the Demon King.

Put that in evidence. Her legs are rattling and shivering.

The demon king who saw it,

"Ha ha."

and raise a high laugh.

"Fine. I'll spare my little girl and stop taking that action."

That's what the Demon King said, and now he sees me.

"Well, let's change and think of a way to put it in my wisdom bag."

"... will it come"

Now I'm gonna laugh.

To the habit of not being willing to take such measures from the beginning...

This girl, the Dilocuten Demon King, is a girl who is tough everywhere on hostile things but has no idea of sacrificing her people.

So I trusted her and have served her to this day.

I never thought I'd dye my hands at such a merciless measure from the start.

Now, the question is how to counter the impending Alliance of the Dragons and Kings, but...

We need to figure out how many enemy troops we have first.

That's what I thought. I decided to summon my men with the magic of The Tale of Reading.

Instructed Giron of Oak to assemble all the executives.

A few days later, executives, who were the lords of the eighth legion, gather in the village of Azchi.

Oak's Staff Giron,

Dragon Man Sigan,

Lilith of Sacubus,

Gunter, king of Dwarves,

Elf warrior chief Anemone,

It's the usual mentz.

I ordered Dragon Man Sigan on a reconnaissance mission first.

The oligarchy and faithful Sigan, when it came to "knowing," jumped out immediately.

How could Lilith not be me, he murmured, but when he ignored him, he then commanded Gunter and Anemone.

"Lord Gunter, can you make a big wheel?

"A wheel? How big is it?

"If it's about 30 meters in diameter,"

"As soon as possible?

"The ground dragon is coming a month from now, by then,"

"Hmm, let's do something about it"

When he said so, he ordered the dwarves under his command.

After all, the Dwarves can count on it.

The strongest army has the strongest civil forces.

That was with us in this other world.

Even in previous life there was a country that created an unprecedented great empire: the Roman Empire.

They had an army called Legion, but the force never overwhelmed another country. Rather, he was greatly tormented by barbarians such as the Germans and Celts.

But they countered the barbarians with wisdom and skill.

The Roman soldiers were the best soldiers and at the same time the best architects.

They knew scoops and tools were stronger than swords and spears.

In just a few days he built a fort, broke into the enemy formation or built a Great Wall spanning hundreds of kilometres in just a decade to prevent an influx of barbarians.

It is what the world calls the Great Wall of Hadrianus.

There was no such technology in the Demon King's Army, and it was truly gratifying that Dwarf was on my side.

Meanwhile, I am going to ask the Elves to help me this time as well.

When I turned to Anemone, I asked her.

"Gather the users of the Water Spirit (Windine) and train them."

"Is it Windine? What are you going to let them do?

"The dwarves made it for me. I need you to put some water on the wheel."

"When it comes to it, you have to tension water about the same size, right?

"Don't be."

"Um, it's hard, but I'll let you practice somehow"

She tried to back off when she said that, but I grab her shoulder.

"Wait. You still have a favor to ask."

"Yes, what is it?

"Is it true that the Ground Dragon lives near the Elf Forest, that is, your home, the World Tree Forest?

"Yeah, it's true. We'll go around putting it down for decades and we'll be back in the nest."

"I see. You know why?

"Come on......"

And an anemone with a neck hanging. But she goes on.

"It's just that if you're my sister, you might know"

"Maybe?

"A long time ago, I tried to find out why, or like I didn't ask,"

"You're so vague."

"I'm sorry, I've lived for hundreds of years."

"Sure, if you live that long, don't forget the last thing."

Unexpectedly, I would agree, but when I let her go, I declared:

"Fine. Let's rely on that vague memory of Anemone. If you know the ecology of the Grounddragon, it might be easier to defeat it, or you could use the ecology to put it on our side."

With that said, "I'm going to meet Ferlett, Queen of Elves, towards the World Tree Forest. I'm going to borrow her wisdom," he declared.

"Anyone want to accompany me?" And the moment I said it, everyone raised their hands, except Sigan and Gunter, who were not here.

"Of course, you can take this Lilith, don't you, Ike?"

And Lilith was already in nagging mode.

Giron, too,

"Let me travel with my husband once in a while"

And he was making his nose rough.

Satti, too, held both hands,

"Wow, me too."

He had the look.

"Oh, boy, it's not a game."

When I glanced at the Demon King with that said eye, she was raising her hand as a matter of course, too.

"I haven't met the queen of elves once yet. This place will have the right to meet as the King of the Demons."

She will never give in. I was looking at this one with that look on my face.

You can't leave this with the Demon King.

That's what I realized. I decided to make her a companion.

And Satie.

Naturally Lilith raises her discontent, but she has a good job.

As deputy commander, I must ask you to exercise control of the 8th legion, which is going to assemble in this village of Azchi.

When I told her so, I left the village of Azchi with the Demon King and Satti.

I didn't use metastatic magic because there was no metastatic device in the village of Azchi.

Plus in the Elf Forest.

Me and the Demon King, and Satti, once again, enjoyed the horse's journey.
