The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 226: The Beginning After the War

In front of him lay the body of Soim Hao.

Why are you dead...

"What kind of battle was that? Talk to me."

"Yes."

Kirchena's cavalry started talking.

To sum up, it seems that when the trend of battle was decided, Soim immediately pursued his fleeing enemies and followed them, as a result of which he died in a different way than the strong.

There's a gunshot wound, but they say it was shot after the settlement.

Soim was scattered on the battlefield when I was mourning Carol's death.

Really, there's something wrong with the world.

"... why did you chase him or something? I played a big part. I wish I'd been resting."

I said something I couldn't help but say.

Even though this role would have been a feat, it was a task I gave because I thought I would be less in danger of dying.

I didn't expect you to move on to the chase first.

Should I have ordered you not to pursue me?

"Lord Soim was always afraid that his own spear would become useless. He said like a cliche that he wanted to die on the battlefield while his moves were not blunt... he made an impossible chase and wondered if it was the desire or the desire to be taken over"

"Were they strong enemies? Enough to lower the soim?

"It was a formidable enemy. But Lord Soim took the lead and cut it in pieces... so maybe he was tired."

That's right......

But if I didn't let you fight, it would still have been unhappy for Soim.

Soim did not want a mild old age surrounded by grandchildren or anything else.

Soim seemed to have sunk into disillusionment for a time in his battle with the now dismantled Euclidean Cavalry Regiment, gaining such fame as the extreme of honor as a knight.

Many knights regret finishing their lives without raising their names as knights, but Soim was sinking into disillusionment, even with fame.

"The other guy?

"Hi, it looks like it was a team led by a woman... instead of fleeing the battlefield first, it was extremely highly skilled. Anyway, it was our pursuit, and more than half of them were still fighting in an organized way, even when they died."

Maybe that's why Soim stubbornly targeted him the other way around.

If you were a crumb-like opponent, maybe you'd rather ignore it.

Or...

That's Angelica Sacramenta.

That's all I could think about.

Or at a time when a woman is leading a soldier and joining the Crusades, that's only one.

Once upon a time, we met at Tott Bridge, a knight who hid her face in a vale.

After that, I looked into it, and there was a report that he was a royal of the Tyrrerme god empire and he was a small lord of the region.

I lost interest afterwards, so I only have that degree of knowledge.

Are you leading such a strong soldier?

Still, it's something with a strange edge.

"I don't know your name, but I told you to make sure you tied him up and followed him to His Excellency Yuri - he wasn't strong enough, but it didn't come true."

"Was Soim satisfied with the final battle?"

I was rather curious whether Soim's last battle was unrepentant than his death.

Was he able to give Soim the death he wanted, which was more meaningful than life without meaning?

I want it to be the mighty who gave Soim his death.

Soim is not worthy of a death such as, for example, a poison arrow plundered and the poison died from it.

"It seems satisfying. I cut it and died in battle - it didn't seem like I was doing anything wrong. But I didn't let him get his hands on me when I said," One hit, etc. … It still seems to me that I wanted death "

"Right..."

I wish you were alive.

See Soim's, smiling corpse.

... Yeah, I knew it, I wanted you to be alive.

Wouldn't you have been happy to see my child, etc. that Carol gave birth to?

Or was it more important than that that that the spear obtain a meaningful death without rust?

That bothered me, even though I was no longer too used to the death of a familiar human being and knew that the carcass would never give an answer.

"You want to die - I'll never forget your spear."

That's what I said, I left the spiritual peace chamber beneath the Royal Castle.

Dimitri and Tigris, Gino and Myalo were in the Royal Castle's office.

The Rube family is returning to the north in order to regain their possession.

It was convenient.

The four of them are sitting on the sofa for customer service, and I'm sitting on the executive desk.

"Carol left two days ago."

When I said it, except for Myalo, who knew what was going on beforehand, he looked at me with surprise.

There is a sense of urgency at once.

"... What about your child?

Myalo said.

Didn't you know?

It was surprising.

I hear that the child was not born two days ago, but five days ago.

Myalo thought it was something he knew.

"It's a girl. You're blonde."

"Did you give birth? Then..."

Tigris, then relieved, looked and stroked his chest down.

Even people in positions like Tigris think that a king who can unite his country should be a queen.

Really, I'm afraid of this divergence of sensations.

Even though I think only of kings and other mere institutions, the vast majority of humans in this country exaggerate when it comes to worshipping and serving, but at least look upon them as beings who look upon them.

One wrong step feels like that divergence will take your life.

"No, excuse me. I'm sad. Ma'am."

"No, fine. The funeral shall be in two days. Of course it's a national funeral."

When I read Carol's will, it said she wanted the body buried next to my grave.

When it does, it will be on that hill.

The formal tomb will be filled with empty coffins again.

"Then crown the baby toddler and I'll stand regent"

"... If the Great Witches were alive, I would surely lose my hips"

Myalo said.

Exactly.

Making the Queen a mere figurine and the knighthood who presides over force takes real power can be said to have been the most feared thing by witches and queens since the founding of the Great Empire of Chantilla in ancient times.

To prevent it, the queen of the great empire of Chantilla was not married.

They were unmarried all their lives and independently made multiple mistresses like reverse harlems, making offspring by socializing with them.

It was a mechanism to prevent men from standing as regents by making their fathers publicly unknown.

To put it the other way around, that's what I wanted to prevent.

It's an extinguished culture after the Great Collapse split into the Nine Kingdoms, and again, they didn't actually make more than one mistress husband, and there were many examples where only certain men were partners, but it doesn't change that they viewed male regents as extremely problematic.

My standing in the Regent was an absolute contraindication that I would be able to speak if it were six months ago.

"I'm glad now. It would be better if the former witches went while their influence was low."

"So, I'm going to set the time for the crowning ceremony... before I do, Dimitri"

"What is it?"

Dimitri saw this one.

"How long will it take you to take to take the army northwards to reformulate, for you to take command of the General Army"

"... what do you think, if we crush an enemy ship with eagles, ship supplies, march along the coastline... still, I was wondering if it would take about two and a half months to reach the reformation"

"I hear the walls the Crusaders collapsed two years ago haven't been repaired yet"

"Well, unless you have an unexpected army, it's about three months."

Well, that's the place.

"Then let's schedule a crowning ceremony in three months for now. Myalo... I'm sorry."

"I know."

Myalo replied forcefully.

"I asked for it. We bury the nation and invade the reformation because of that mourning battle. It's a process of attacking a reformation and crowning it in a victorious mood."

"Got it. But what do you expect me to do with the command of the General Army? Aren't you in command?"

That's a natural question.

"I will sail to the Republic of Albio when the funeral is over."

"Huh -?"

I showed Dimitri wandering off.

"Are you leaving the country? It's..."

"I'm going to negotiate the exchange of fifty-three thousand prisoners for the Shans over there. Only that country can be the focal point for negotiations."

It's gonna be a state-scale deal, so I have to go myself.

"Among the captives, kings and high nobles are hissed. Negotiate with the Shans or with gold. This must be done as soon as possible"

But in the meantime, we can't delay the reformatory offense.

If left alone, they would send in soldiers again and make their defenses strong.

But... in the absence of His Excellency Yuri...

Tigris said.

"Are you anxious?

"Because soldiers think you're like a military god..."

A military god.

Sounds stupid.

"Not all local fights allow me to get out. Get used to it."

"... Yes, I understand"

"Besides, we don't have enough food. I will be Kara for sending out the great army to the north, and there will be food support for the prisoners. If we don't get food on the boat on the way home, the people will starve."

"Oh, I see..."

Gino Toga was nodding.

In the meantime, you should let the prisoners make firewood as well.

No matter how much firewood you have, it's not enough, and you can keep it on an annual basis.

"Let's pack up the story again later. I would also like to talk about the treatment of the pioneering KLA people in the countryside over there."

"Yes."

"Tigris, Gino. You guys put it under Dimitri. That's good."

"Ha."

Copy that, sir.

Okay, is that it?

All right, let's get ready.

That's what I said, I broke up the meeting.
