Maou no Hajimekata

Wolfdir, the hero king. There is no stranger on this continent to its great king, known by various aliases such as the Wolf King, the Lion King and the Red Beard King.

The young man, who slaughtered and killed the giant who had taken the princess with a single sword and ran up from mere civilians to the throne of the king, instantly spread the land with his arms.

It is gathered in several epic poems (saga) to defeat the demons in line and to flatten the enemy country, and bards tell it in every country. Its bravery was hailed by its allies as precisely a hero, and from its enemies it was feared as a living reaper.

But Oul wasn't so afraid of Wolf. His country was too big. If we are to fight, it is the army and strategy that will determine victory and defeat. It is not the force of an individual hero.

Also, there are not so many things that say long lived heroes and so on, even if they look east and west now. Many of them have lost their lives in the middle of twenty and few count 30. Wolfe over fifty is a long life that can be called broken, but it won't be that long.

Is he aware of that as well? Recently, there has been a rare decrease in going to war, and he is corrupt in his internal affairs. If you wait a few years, you will die on your own. If you win the varnish, you may win the tour lightly. Regardless, I'm not willing to make one or eight of those bets, but it's a good story to say that a child will kill a hero.

Rather than that, the question is what to do with the most powerful and prestigious cavalry regiment on the continent. Of course, the smell of infantry and sorcerers is not comparable in quality or quantity to the armies of the Kingdom of Figlia. Most importantly, Oul did not count on human soldiers in the first place.

If we can win with that, Figlia is becoming a great power. Oulu's strength is the dungeon and the massive amount of magic he has built up there. If you're going to bury an enemy that beats you in local power, you're going to have to keep it alive.

Oulu works out a plan carefully and proceeds with the expansion of the dungeon.

It was then a week later that a declaration of war was slapped at him.

"Report the situation"

Great meeting room at the Royal Palace.

Oul ordered the ministers in line.

"Ha. Grandiera declared war on me. The emissary came while His Majesty was away, so I responded instead. The enemy has designated a showdown on the Blanche Plains in the south."

That is what the Minister of Military Affairs answers.

"So?"

"... and allegedly?

To Oul urging the continuation, the minister returned a surprising look.

"The size of the enemy. Where are you now in formation? How many soldiers can move this one right away? The breakdown is. What are the chances of winning? I'm listening to what you said."

"The... I'm currently investigating it. First, I wanted to report to His Majesty, and this is how I grabbed what I would take..."

The minister sweated sloppily at Oulu, who made him indulgent. It's bullshit to say it's under investigation. The army in this country was almost moved by Cass. I understand very well that the ministers are incompetent enough to just say 'do something' from above.

"A gathering? You could have said something like that if you wanted the rest, right?

The ministers trembled at the sound of that voice from the bottom of the earth.

"Okay. I'm not interested in dying alive. You are free to fatten your stomach or starve to death.... except if it blocks my way. The people and the soldiers are all for my sake. I can't forgive my enemies.... If you find out, you can get sick of the" investigation "."

"Ha... ha!

The ministers take their seats as they were played, thanking them and leaving the room.

This corrupt country will eventually decline. But that's fine. He became king, but Oul did not belong to Figlia, nor was he willing to rise up. As long as it serves as food for the dungeon, until it does not live and kill and slowly perishes to the point where it does not become a threat to Oulu.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

"That's too much laughter"

Later there remained a tannic oul and a lil laughing at you holding your belly.

"I told you before. This kind of thing is a little easier to understand."

"But there's more than one person... hehe"

"Fine, just report it."

Oul urged Lil to nibble as he couldn't stop laughing inside and hid his mouth with his hands.

"Yes, sir. It was like this."

Lil hands over the compiled report. There were details of enemy formations, numbers, and the amount of demons that could be used as power.

"... not much"

Oul looks at the numbers and gives a strange look. The enemy has 5,000 of them. There are more soldiers than this one would be able to prepare, but not as much as overwhelming. Grandiera should be able to prepare these 10 times.

"Am I being licked?

"... I think so."

Oul nods at Lil's words, which he answered appropriately.

"Oh, no, really?

Lil asked as she said herself.

"Honestly, that's all I can think of."

"Um, look, keep the numbers low, keep them alert, let the ambushes out."

That wasn't like Oulu didn't even think about it, but it was unlikely.

"Strange surprise attacks belong to the weak. If you succeed, you can defeat the superior, but if you fail, it's a huge damage. The significance used by Grandiera, the strong, is faint. It would be less damaging to push the numbers."

"Um, well... uh, if you march, soldiers will be hungry, too, so it'll cost you money, right? You know, to save money."

Desperately frowned, Lil narrowed his wits and said so.

"It does cost a lot of money to march. … but the number of victims is inversely proportional to the number. How much money and time do you think it would take to raise one soldier? There should be no comparison between marches..."

"No more! You can't understand that to a succubus!

Ugh, roaring, Lil finally had a seizure. I wasn't expecting anything from her, even as an owl, but this succubus is serious in strange places.

"Fair enough. If you can lick me, I've never been over it. If you want to tour the plot, you have to beat it to pieces."

Oul flips his robe and casts a spell. After a moment, the two figures moved into the dungeon, scratching away.
