In Parabellum, where preparations are steadily under way for a march to the Union of Demons, heads of departments headed by Kazuya were meeting together at the command headquarters, which oversees defence and the military, for a debriefing meeting.
"Next, special operations military secretary. What's going on with the special forces active in the Demonic Union?
"Ha, all units without particularly noticeable human damage, we are doing our duty smoothly. Also, due to the activities of each unit, the Imperial Army's chain of command has been disrupted and supplies are no longer available, so the march has largely stopped."
I sent it to you with the intention of buying time, but it worked better than I thought.
Kazuya nodded contentedly when he heard the results of the special forces that were conducting various obstruction and destruction operations against the Imperial Army throughout the Demonic Union to wage guerrilla warfare.
"Next, then, Transport Secretary. What are the plans for the maintenance and expansion of the streets to the demonic Union and for the construction of a railway network and the transport of supplies?
"Ha."
The Transport Secretary stood up to answer Kazuya's voice and read out the contents of the documents in his hand.
"First of all, the development and expansion of the streets and the construction of the railway network are well under way. At this rate, all processes can be completed within the scheduled time frame. Next is the transportation plan for supplies, but it has been arranged so that three times the expected consumption of supplies can be prepared and the required amount delivered to the required location when needed. See page 15 of the report for more information."
"Okay, okay. Anything else to report?
Several raised their hands to Kazuya's inquiry.
"Well, let's start with the Secretary of State for Information."
"Yes, first of all about the Elsas Magic Empire, but a thorough examination of the territory using reconnaissance satellites and high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft revealed three new equivalents to the aerial fortress that emerged in the battle in the fortified city. But those three are likely under construction because the upper building has not been completed. In addition to the Aerial Fortress, we have also discovered several objects, both terrestrial and maritime, that appear to be mobile fortresses."
"Trouble again... Can you wait till we're ready for battle over here... Well, don't take your eyes off those fortresses. Surveillance for 24 hours. If you have to, blow it up with centralized operations of SLBM (submarine-launched ballistic missiles) or ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missiles), usually equipped with warheads. Anything else?
He urged Kazuya to continue as he openly flaunted his face after hearing the report of the Secretary of State for Information.
"Yes, I'm talking about the Legalis Empire, 15,000 kilometers away across the ocean, but after scouting using a spare reconnaissance satellite, I found something surprising."
"What?
"The Legalis Empire also seems to possess WWI-like technical capability - weapons."
... Is that it? Before I came to this world, I was explained, 'The world you're going to is a fantastic world where magic and demons exist'... What's going on? Wouldn't this be like the world of SF fantasy...
... If I go in, you lose? I mean, you've got everything already.... No, I think Phyllis said something too...
"... If you have WWI-like technical skills, why isn't the Legalis Empire coming to this continent? You don't have territorial greed?
The answer came back from the secretary when he threw the question Kazuya had come to think of as such to the secretary of the intelligence ministry.
"That seems to be what the Regalis Empire is currently lacking room to get its hands on here with the appearance of a massive war going on. And because of the dangerous waters inhabited by this supermassive sea of fog between this continent and that continent, it seems that you won't bother to come here until you've committed the danger."
Misty sea hey...... is that a natural wall, so the continents over here and over there have different degrees of development?... well. I don't know how much I thought about it.
"Right. Then keep an eye on the trends of the Regalis Empire."
"Ha, got it."
When the intelligence secretary said that and sat in the chair, Kazuya moved on.
"Next, the Secretary of the Ministry of Technology"
"Ha, it's about the magic conductor furnace, but there's also a technology offer from the Kingdom of Canary, and there's a prospect of mass production. Mass production, however, is necessary for the manufacture of the magic conductor furnace. Therefore, the wizards of the captives are used to produce and mass produce the magic conductor furnace. Next are demon-guided weapons and automatic dolls captured by special forces operating in the demonic coalition, but reports indicate that preliminary electronics are used in the control systems of both weapons. I don't know if I can find out more, but it's possible that we can produce this one."
In response to the secretary of the Ministry of Technology, who read the stand-up report as slurred, Kazuya said in the meantime.
"Well, then start mass production of the Magic Furnace. The ship equipped with the Magic Furnace should consult with the Secretary of the Navy and report back when the selection has been made. Examine thoroughly regarding the Magic Guided Weapon and Automatic Dolls. Consider mass production on it."
Copy that, sir.
Kazuya spoke at the last millennium when the Secretary of the Ministry of Technology sat down.
"Last, Thousand Years"
"Ha, I have a few things to report, so I will report them in turn. First of all, the troops marching to the demonic coalition are ready. The ground unit is a temporary formed division that includes M1A2 Abrams, Type 10 tanks, M2 Bradley Infantry Combat Vehicles, various striker armoured vehicles and Hanvey, etc. Aeronautical units will send an air force that includes the AC-130 of the ground attacker, the F-15E of the fighter bomber, the A-10 of the attacker, and multiple other helicopters of all kinds to a base to be built around the capital of the Demonic Union. We have also completed discussions with the Demonic Union on the construction of the base and other matters."
"Next in terms of armaments, 85 percent of weapons improvements and renovations have been completed. Weapons shortages are due to be eliminated from now on, as weapons produced at Parabellum's underground weapons factory are deployed sequentially to the troops. Later, the training process for the brave conscripts formed by the residents who had moved to Parabellum was halfway completed."
By now, Parabellum had tested about 4,000 prospective migrants coming from the Kingdom of Canada, and Kazuya had created a corps of prostitutes among those migrants who had recruited candidates and passed the enlistment exam.
"Speaking of which, I totally forgot, you made a prostitute unit or something... how about that? Looks like you could use it?
"… I will only say what I expect in the future"
"Well, I guess... Yeah, I'm sure all the weapons you gave the prostitutes were old-fashioned, but I need you to take good care of them."
"I understand. As far as weapons control is concerned, it seems fine because we have stricter regulations than the militia, but in case any of the prostitutes take out weapons for a private purpose, we have implanted ultra-small bombs in the heads of the prostitutes so that they can bomb the undead who took out the weapons."
"Then you're relieved.... and this will finally stop you from suffering from a lack of combat power - a lack of weapons"
"Yes."
Kazuya laughed happily as weapons produced in large quantities at the Parabellan underground weapons factory continued to be deployed to each unit, making it easier to boost his combat capacity.
――――――――――――
When the meeting was over and Kazuya was returning to her room and sitting in her chair resting, the door was inadvertently knocked and a thousand years old came in.
"Excuse me."
"What's the matter, millennial? - What about those kids?
Kazuya tilted her neck when she saw the seven girls/women in maid clothes who had come into the room with a thousand years old.
"Ha, he said your husband was going directly to the demonic union, so besides SS, we have prepared your husband's pawn, just in case."
Hand pawn......
The maid clothes girls advanced forward and bowed their heads as Kazuya was slightly clamping her face to the thousand-year-old words.
When he saw the girls, Kazuya realized there was a fuss.
"... hey thousand years old, could these kids"
"Yes, as your husband imagined, they were dying in the dungeon of a mansion purchased in Wang Du. Vampire sisters from the right, sister Raina and sister Reina. It's Elle of Auga, Shale of Lamia, Luminous of Dark Elves, Curot of the Fox, Wilhelm of the Werewolves."
"I knew it. You must look familiar."
When Kazuya approaches the seven people who are standing in their seats and lowering their heads, the seven girls lift their heads sassy and point their uniformly febrile gaze at Kazuya.
"(… thousand years old, what is this?)"
Kazuya replied, smiling like a thousand years had a little trouble when the girls' too hot, hot glances asked him with her gaze.
"(Ha, that's... For some reason, all these people were heartbroken by your husband when they woke up... Perhaps because your husband's magic was mixed deep into these children by the full healing power he used to treat these people, it seems that he is uncomfortable with your husband... I do not know the details)"
... did you have that, imprint-like side effect on your ability to fully heal?
Thousands of years old added a supplementary explanation that Kazuya is bothering her head about her ability to fully heal.
"(And... these people had lost all their memories except their names)"
"(What?)"
"(I was wondering if it was because of the trick I received in the dungeon...)"
"(Well...)"
In front of Kazuya, who has an indescribable look on his face, he has been in tune since the age of a thousand - he had a grin like a flower blooming from the joy of finally seeing Kazuya, with a girl equipped with special forces lined combat skills and fanatical loyalty to Kazuya, with a one-sided ideological education that said he had lost his harsh training and memory and was intoxicated by Kazuya.
