"Alan guerrilla squad, unexpected while exploring the basement 8th floor, or..."

Looking through the report, Cass sighed with a cheek wand on the desk. And throw that report away when it looks like a pile of 'processed'. Both the "treated" mountain and the "pre-treated" mountain were piled up right in front of her like mountains.

All of them are reports of adventurers who challenged and scattered The Oul's Cave. Of course, not everyone has been wiped out, but things like running back on the way without fear, returning with a crawling body crawling with lost companions, something caught in a trap and forced out of the labyrinth.

"Unknown" accounted for about 20% of it. Did this escape without fear to the labyrinth... or was it wiped out in the labyrinth? Either that, I guess. I don't know the percentage because I haven't done any research on what escaped, but the latter should also be turned off and less.

I have also heard stories of encountering an unusual acquaintance who became a moving corpse. And Cass was almost certain that the "Alan guerrilla squad" would have been wiped out.

"Oulu the Demon King... that's a real pain in the ass"

Cass thought as he took the next report and scowled in his hand.

"Wicked Mage Oul" declared war on the nearby town of Akani about three months ago.

As a result of the growth of fools you don't even know, you can throw away such a country town. It will challenge the trained Knights to fight and destroy itself in the kind of city where they reside.

That was generally the view of the then head of kingdom.

Cass advised that the King's army should be dispatched and crusaded immediately, but it was unacceptable. On the contrary, she even mocked the woman in the face to be held by a rare warrior, an inert and timid thing.

Then three months. Oulu's invasion was remarkable. The minister's proud Knights were soon blown to pieces of wood dust waving their spears by ultra-long range magic of power that strayed from their regular orbit.

In the first place, even in the peripheral countryside, they occupied one town at a time, causing only a degree of damage that could be said to be almost intact. That hardly changed, even if the other person changed.

In an instant, Oul occupied seven towns. What was peculiar about that activity was that instead of attacking and destroying the city altogether, it would take it as its own territory.

Be a demon, be a bandit, be a magician who could follow them, I won't do that. They only plunder and leave unilaterally. Of course, you may sit in the city and treat people in the city like slaves, but in that case, invasion of other cities is rare.

Oulu's way is completely different from that. Hand out demons as a minimum surveillance, make yourself pay taxes, and even solve it if there is a problem with the territory. Merchants say there are even more vibrant cities than before they were exempt from customs duties and the reconstruction of the destroyed cities was taken up together.

This is almost like being invaded by another country. In fact, many of the people in the city feel that way, and few even shudder that 'the king who rules has just changed'.

Follow the demons,

manipulating witchcraft,

Soot into a demon cave.

King of the Land of Demons.... i.e. Demon King.

I don't know who started calling me that, but how long was Oulu supposed to be called that?

The Senate finally made a scene as the city was occupied with four. The House of Lords is an institution made up of the highest nobles, essentially a group that is moving this kingdom of Figlia.

Until full, the ultimate power of decision or actual power rests with the king, but it is in the Senate that policy is actually conceived, and the king only gives permission to it. Of course, there are countless things the King can judge only by the Senate without his permission, and in short, he is the least defiant opponent for Cass, a genius and a warrior.

It was a rather painful sight to panic about the invasion of Oulu, who was laughing with his nose, but it is not other personnel because all its wrinkles are pressed against Cass. Because of this, Cass was surrounded by a mountain of reports.

Not long after I stopped, a battalion of the king's army, first sent at the discretion of the senate, returned with little success. Besides, with over 30% of the sacrifices,

The location of the demon cave where Oulu lived was quickly discovered, but there was a great labyrinth of intransigence. In a narrow, dark underground labyrinth, the knights serve nothing either.

The training they are conducting is for laying formations on a wide battlefield, riding horses and running to fight humans, and not for fighting dwarves the size of knees, flaming feathers, and staring up giants in a passage that will be filled with spears if four people stand side by side.

If we want the knights to fight, we have to do it when Oul is attacking the city. However, the Demon King's Army, which lays the formation with the art of transfer, is divine and very unavailable in the Standing Army. It's only natural because the opponent can make sure there are no large armies nearby before moving. I can't cope very well with an undetected degree of widowhood.

Then, he reversed his opponent's transfer and sent soldiers with his tribute from a village under the command of the Demon King. All I returned was the same number of necks as the soldiers I sent.

As a sacrificial daughter, I have sent assassins. She is a daughter trained to captivate a man herself with that sexual move and send him to 'heaven' in a literal sense on the bed. This one didn't come home with the body.

but i've picked something especially beautiful and sent about three people in so far, but i don't follow up on the story of Oulu dying. Have you been contacted or offered to the devil? Which way, it wouldn't be in the busy eye.

I tried mixing the poison in the food and sending it, trying to analyze the magic to figure out where to transfer it, trying to pour in tons of water, but it all ended up in jail. On the contrary, these days, it is the end of the day when the King's army receives a fierce backlash from the villagers simply by approaching the village.

And all the criticism of the failure I said so poured on Cass. In the war ahead, you sent me all the good words of a hero, a famous warrior, a deaf word, and now you say that you are a man-made inhuman who makes people die for nothing.

In the end, the best thing to do was investigate the labyrinth using the adventurers. Travelling through unexplored lands, vandalizing the ruins of the Divine Age, and sometimes serving as an imitation of demonic exorcisms and caution sticks, they had a good idea of what they called the way demonic opponents fought.

"Whatever defeats Oul the Demon King will be rewarded as he wishes."

With such a touch, the adventurers all dived into the demon cave. Eventually, the influx of adventurers accelerated at once when it was found that magical weapons and gold coins were available in the cave.

Of course, the damage has been considerable, but they are not originally settled and taxed. The Senate didn't seem to care how much he died. Their sacrifice had shown that at least Oulu's demon cave was on the 8th floor, (d) deeper than the hierarchy. But they're not at the bottom yet.

"The Alan guerrilla squad" was a party Cass had particular expectations of among the adventurers in line. Only four gestures, each of which was a first-rate adventurer, combined better than that to defeat even more powerful enemies. But apparently even they're not good enough to argue for an oul.

Cass sighs and turns his thoughts.

Cunning and ruthless, but also with no gaps that favor killing in vain.

Thorough rationalist, timid but bold invincible.

Terribly cautious, calculating, and never trusting others.

He is good at spatial witchcraft, especially summoning, magic grant, and demonic rule, but not so good at offensive witchcraft. but as a human being, it has an impossible amount of magic, and uses magic enough to shatter the gate strengthened by magic from a long distance with force moves...

The statue of Oulu the Demon King, as you can see from the results so far and from the information you have heard in the village under Oulu, is roughly like that.

"... impossible magic, huh?"

The sorcery that destroyed Akani's Gate has been found to be the sorcery of the 'Explosion' lineage as a result of the investigation. This is what bursts the surroundings by instilling magic into space and deliberately causing the tolerances to cross.

Although it is proportional to the magic power used by power and has the characteristic of increasing its destructive power without knowing the ceiling as long as it is available, the countermagic efficiency is not very good. In the line of mages, it is the mountain of Sekiyama that halves a bunch of goblins. If the arrows were to be put on long distances beyond reach, they wouldn't even activate in the first place.

More suitable magic is used for ordinary sieges… For example, "Meteor Swarm" or "Cannon" is used. These gain almost the same power as Oulu did with much less magic, but are far more difficult to control for that matter. If you can use this, it's definitely mentorship, not at the level where there are so many people in the country.

… but Oulu's magic power is more than multiplied by a few times that of a mentor magician. Of course, if you have a lot of magic, you're good at witchcraft, etc., but it's unnatural to say that attack witchcraft is the arm of a juxtaposed sorcerer, with all that magic and control without any problems.

If you have all that power, that's still easier to understand, like the legendary King of Magic, who used all sorcery endlessly.

"... or maybe there's a gap in there."

Cass called his men by ringing the bell at hand as he wrapped up the report on the desk and paid off to the floor.
