Episode 9

After leaving the Demon King, I finally came back to life.

"I thought I would die, Master"

"I'm an unexpected mind"

The teacher is sitting on my shoulder laughing crazy.

"The Demon Lord is intimidating, but he is a very gentle man. He can not be punished without much fault."

"That's what I wanted to say first if I could ..."

As I was muffled, the teacher on my shoulder pounded on my head.

"I thought you knew that much.

"Sorry for being immature ..."

While walking in the courtyard while having such a conversation, a beast appeared in the fog. A second division aide, Dog.

I'm slightly upset.

"Are you motivated again?"

But he shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but I'm losing this time."

The dog gave us the way.

In the demonic world, the strong are justice. There is no life for those who do not follow this rule.

"It's surprisingly honest."

I was alert and passed by the dog, but he didn't show any hostility.

Instead, he said something like this.

"I'll knock you down next time."

"I'm still motivated."

I was amazed, but the rule is that the strong take any challenge.

"Okay, next time."

"Oh"

The beast distorted the eerie side and laughed.

The teacher calls me out of the castle.

"I'm not going to be careless. He's a unique masterpiece as a beast."

"You seem to understand some tactics."

When I nodded, the teacher further said:

"That's why he understands the significance of discipline and trains him well. He's a good man, he's different from the beasts there.

"Is that there?"

"Well, it wouldn't work for a werewolf."

The teacher, who smiled happily, slapped my head.

"He might be a genius who has a name in history as a beast, but it is not as good as you.

The teacher said so and got off my shoulder.

"Well, now that I have military service, say goodbye here."

"What do you do with skeleton soldiers?"

"Because I listened to my orders, I should use it appropriately.

"Is that so……"

Without a master, I am sorry and a bit lonely, but the master is the highest commander of the Demon King's army. it can not be helped.

"Now I'm committed to governing and defending Lünheit."

"Well, watch out for the movement of the Milaldia army, and don't let your heart down."

"Yes"

The teacher waved at me with a smile and cast a spell.

I came back to Lünheit again. It's my room, Taisho's house.

I'm worried that I was fine during my absence.

I would have been away for less than an hour. But in a world without a clock, I don't understand.

"Oh, you've arrived."

Seeing a large pile of silver coin bags piled up in the corner of the room, I was once again surprised at the skill of the Demon King. It seems someone sent me by magic.

There are many projects that still require payment today. This is thankful.

"Okay, let's do it in a hurry"

When I returned to human form, I resumed my work.

I take out the map and think about the future.

Miraraldia is a city alliance of 17 city-states. Although the Senate has great power, it is no different that it is a close-knit household.

At present, the Demon King's army is working hard to capture Milardia. The second division is in the north of Milaldia, and the third is in the south.

Already we have three cities in the north and two in the south.

"The Second Division is making a leap ..."

By the way, the dogs dropped by the 2nd Division are not actually cities, but mine towns. It is not counted here.

The second division is also actively taking in important locations outside of these cities. There is a feeling that the 2nd Division is rampant.

Well, just kill them and break them. If we can, we can do the same.

The issue here is the movement of the Milaldia Alliance.

The work of the Allies is to maintain security and defend the city. The size of peacetime is small, and the recapture of the city should be inexperienced.

And I can't leave my city. We'll be getting a little more from each city. Thousands can move immediately.

Then you wouldn't send troops to the north and south at the same time.

"Which is the northern part?"

The northern division is dominated by the Second Division. The Second Division has fallen to Schwerm, a strategic point in the north, due to an unreasonable march that ignored both damage and occupation.

There must have been 20,000 elite heavy cavalry and three thousand infantry, which Miraraldia was proud of, but they were often dropped. I don't want to imagine what kind of sight it was.

If Milaldia were to be dispatched to the north, this would be safe for the time being.

… No, once again, do you want to check your troops?

First, there are fifty-six elite wolf corps led by me. Elaborate, but too few.

There are two hundred dogs. Because it is small and weak, its strength is lower than that of the werewolf corps.

Fortunately, there are two thousand skeleton lances lent by the teacher. These guys are strong. The arrows do not work and the command is perfect. There is no fear.

The strength is about 2,250, but Iishiro is enough for 250 people. Skeletal soldiers don't need to eat or sleep.

Thank you very much.

"What are you grinning, Weid-kun?"

Suddenly I was shouting and I looked up in a hurry. This is Fern.

"Well, what? Fern?

"That's a little troublesome. Look, the treatment of Terukyo"

"Itsuraka"

There are several religions in Milaldia, but the largest faction is Huiyang.

It is a doctrine that values cooperation and philanthropy. Some philanthropists are cold-hearted to pagans.

Fern-sister sighed, playing with the tail of a ponytail.

"The priesthood priest in this city is asking for freedom of religion. Manage your worship and pilgrimage duties."

"Umm"

I got my arms crossed.

Worship would be fine. Some people may try to do strange things at worship gatherings, but it is useless to forbid them.

But the duty of a pilgrimage is a bit unacceptable.

Guiyang has a duty to pilgrimage to nearby sacred sites, and there are several sacred sites. According to the material I ordered in a hurry, it is calculated to go somewhere once every two years.

"About 40% of Lünheit, with a population of 3,000, are Teruyang, so there are 1,200 people?"

"Half of that half have an obligation to go on a pilgrimage somewhere this year."

Fern's sister also looks troubled. Of course.

I thought while stroking my neck.

"I guess they're going to be running out of hundreds of people who run away in a hurry."

"Some of them pretend to be pilgrims and infiltrate here."

"Ah, are you there?"

When I'm worried, Fern's sister looks into my face.

"You have to ban it, right?"

"Yes, but it's bad to limit your religion upside down."

I stand up. I remembered the bloody history that I learned so much in my last life.

"I'll ask him to gather all the Lynheit religious leaders."

"Everyone?"

I nodded vigorously as Fern-sister turned her eyes round.

"Teiyo-kyo, Shizuki-kyo, and all the incoming calls"
