Episode 42
Occasionally, demons are born with unique individuals that are praised as "heroes." They protect their race with outstanding abilities and guide them to development.
Among them, the greatest is called the "Demon King" and controls the entire demons.
The human horse filil and the beast demon dogs are much smaller than the demon king, but they are worthy of being called race heroes.
It's different because I'm just a reincarnate wolf.
On the other hand, heroes are born to human beings. Among them, those who have the strength equivalent to the Demon King are called "braves".
We sometimes refer to our friends as heroes, but the human hero is the official title recognized on a national scale. It is said that no warrior of any history will be allowed to claim himself.
"Yes, the hero ..."
Ilia, who knew the situation, muttered with a slightly anxious look. The hero is an enemy because she is now a demonic side.
Krutze, a technician of the dragon race, asked Ayria a question.
"I've always been wondering, why is the hero who can be compared to His Majesty the King, not the Hero, but the Hero?"
"Oh, I'll answer."
Ilia seemed worried, so I'll answer instead.
"The demon worships the strong as kings, but humans are different. Basically, you can only become kings if you don't like the king's lineage. I don't have it. "
"Hmm, it's a strange story."
Klutse leans his head while taking notes.
"If you are not a strong individual, you will not be able to survive a crisis situation. If a weak king is defeated, what will happen?"
"The descendants of the king just become the next king."
"What are the benefits?"
I don't know that because I was born under democracy.
Then Ilia looked up and continued.
"Royals and nobles are learning the knowledge and techniques to govern the people. No one can follow the incompetence that only exaggerates. Such a country will eventually die."
As expected, there is only a leader who governs the city-state, and there is no stagnation in explanation.
"It also has the advantage that the hero is not a national leader."
"what is it?"
"The hero can cut deep into the enemy line, without ignoring my danger. Even if he is defeated, the king will lead the people."
"I see ... it's very easy to understand."
It's quite interesting to see the human iris and the dragon, Kruze, interacting like this.
Oops, that wasn't the case.
The opponent is a hero, a human version of the Demon King.
Of course, we can't compete with ordinary demons.
Occasionally, a man with poor ability or luck may be defeated by the demons and treated as a "tragic hero," but in reality, he will almost never win.
According to a report brought by Technical Officer Krze, the hero is somewhere on the northern front.
The Second Division has continued to disperse in prolonged battles, and isolated units have become guerrillas in various parts of the country and continue to resist themselves.
In other words, he is lost as a bandit but lost, but it is said that the hero is subduing from one end.
It was reported that the Demon King's army had noticed the brave because it was unable to communicate with the isolated units. After all, the demons kill all.
Very little important information, such as the appearance and abilities of the hero, is available.
I became increasingly reluctant to get involved in the Northern Front, but there was one thing I couldn't overlook.
The ultimate goal of a hero is usually to defeat the Demon King.
Do you accumulate?
"I want to gather information about the hero, is there any way?"
When I asked, Ilia thought a bit and turned her face up.
"Because even a brave man is a living person, he should never leave the city and stay in the countryside. There must be a base somewhere. Of course it is temporary."
Speaking of which, even in the RPG of the previous life, the hero was aiming for the demon while moving from base to base.
"Let's send a spy to a northern city. If a hero is a city he's staying in, he'll have to advertise it, because neither monsters nor bandits can get close to it."
That's true. The hero is a hero of justice.
"I would send a werewolf squad, but there is a risk that magic will reveal the identity. Long-distance reconnaissance remains uneasy. I want to preserve it because it is a valuable force."
"If so, leave it to me."
Iria smiled.
"Lünheit is a city of traders. Let me ask the traders in the city."
"Are you OK?"
I'm not skeptical of Lynhite citizens, but I'm anxious and guilty about being a spy for scouting a hero.
But Ilia was laughing.
"It's okay. Instead, ask for permission to sell the items you buy there at Lunehite as you like."
"I see, it's a good opportunity for them."
Since you can go directly to the north and get paid for transportation, it will be a chance to make a rag. Their heads fall in their business soul.
"Okay, let's go on that condition. We will pay for it. If you like, please buy a silver craft made by our dog corps. I'll keep it cheap."
"Yes, everyone rejoices."
Technician Kurtze quietly mutters on me and Iria, who seem to be somewhat derailed.
"Weid is also increasingly inspired."
"... I see."
The trade in this world is so interesting that it can't be helped.
It's nice to have a dream that distribution is underdeveloped.
Once peace is reached, I'd like to team up with the Demon King and start doing some business.
But before that, he seems to have to do a little bloody business.
