Episode 333: Dimensional Monsters (1)

How much time has passed since then?

“Brother Kyuse! Vera’s army has arrived!”

“Finally!”

My stepmother’s army arrived at the bordering barony.

It was the territory of those three barons who got beaten up by me last time.

These bastards were completely crushed by me. They lost all their soldiers and supplies too. A baron on the frontier suffering such losses? Then, the recovery itself would take an incredibly long time.

The smaller the force, the longer the recovery took. Of course, since they were under the protection of a count, they might expect some support, but right now, the count was in deep trouble.

They couldn’t provide substantial support here, and even if they poured money into those already shattered guys, who knew how long the recovery would take.

So, in my estimation, those baronies were still struggling, and if my stepmother, who had maintained her power so far, attacked, they wouldn’t be able to defend themselves.

It was a free pass.

“Well then, let’s see how things go.”

With great expectations, I began training my soldiers.

And everything went according to my predictions.

“It was truly a one-sided battle. There weren’t even soldiers to defend in the first place.”

“Hehehe, this is the board I’ve set up. Karuti.”

My stepmother’s army easily occupied all three baronies. There weren’t enough soldiers to defend them.

They swept through the line with the force of a storm, and with that, my territory and my stepmother’s territory are now connected.

-Swish.

I read the letter from the duchess, full of such content, and smiled with satisfaction. At my stepmother’s command, she sent me this letter. Currently, all those baronies were occupied by my stepmother’s female knights acting as regents.

In other words, now I was surrounded by allies on all sides.

It was safe, cozy, and comfortable.

Like being in a mother’s embrace.

“Anyway, Brother Kyuse. With this, Vera’s territory and Brother Kyuse’s territory are connected. Now we can trade more efficiently.”

“That’s right.”

Good.

“Now we just need to strengthen our power while supporting this alliance line. After we’ve grown in strength, we can attack the count with Vera.”

“Yeah yeah! That’s a really good plan!”

Karuti was very excited.

Seeing her, I felt like I could die from excitement too.

“But before that, we need to build some altars and stuff! We should build structures from the demon world without having to be cautious!”

Yet, the ambition of these demons… both Karuti and Duchess Keraxis. They all had high expectations of me. Expectations of being the vanguard of the invasion of the middle world.

I had no intention of handing over my power. But lying to the excited Karuti hurt my heart.

How should I resolve this?

Duchess Keraxis was viewing me in a very favorable light right now. So, maybe I should ask her to recognize my dominion for the sake of her son. To recognize me as a rightful lord or king. Should I try negotiating in such a manner?

But here was the problem. If I spoke now, I’d reveal all my intentions and plans, and the leash would go to them. But if I spoke later? They might say I was using them for my own ends all along.

The trust would be broken.

With trust broken, you couldn’t convey sincerity. Then, in the demon world’s eyes, I’d be seen as a worthless bastard who took everything he could and now wants to be king.

“…”

Not just politics, but family issues were tough too. Was this the life of someone in power? Of course, I’d overcome it. I had the ambition to overcome everything and live peacefully with my family.

So, let’s deceive Karuti a bit.

“Let’s wait on that. Not everyone will be used to such things yet.”

“Yeah… you’re probably right? But now we can act more comfortably. Somehow, with Kyuse oppa’s abilities, make people more demon-friendly!”

“That won’t be as easy as it sounds. But I’ll do my best.”

“Yeah!”

Then, shall we call the Saintess for a moment?

“Karuti. Can you call the Saintess?”

“Got it!”

-Flap flap.

The evil eye flew off, and…

Not long after.

“Ah, have you called me?”

The Saintess entered with a smile.

“Over here.”

“Ugh.”

I immediately gave her a deep hug and a kiss before seating her on my lap. The feeling of being the Saintess’s chair is truly the best.

“Hehehe, do you want to have a body conversation? I want to call Lea and do it too.”

“Let’s do that later. Saintess. Is the propaganda all prepared?”

“Ah, did you call me for that?”

She looked somewhat disappointed, so I immediately touched her ear.

“Ugh… Of course, it’s prepared. It’s ready to be distributed at any time, so just give the order.”

“Yes. Then I’ll send Angelica tomorrow.”

Former abbess Angelica was involved in various administrative tasks at the demon king’s castle and held masses in the square.

Let’s send her on this mission.

“Angelica will do well.”

“Indeed. She’ll go and spread these propaganda leaflets, showing how evil the count and the angels are, and how just the Saintess is.”

Now, all those three baronies were our allied lands. So, we needed to share our ideology. We’d distribute propaganda to win over the hearts of the people.

People in this world were weak to this. Even modern Earthlings were swayed by YouTube to believe all sorts of bizarre rumors, so in this medieval land, with clear enemies and the absolute symbol of the Saintess?

They’d just believe it all.

-Swish.

So, I prepared these propaganda leaflets. They neatly described the evil of the count and the angels, and the justice and righteousness of the Saintess and the duchess.

“The dispatched Angelica and the nuns will educate the people with these.”

“Then we can quickly turn the public opinion in our favor.”

“That’s right.”

Of course, this was all agreed upon with my stepmother. She’ll support the propaganda activities in the baronies.

“hehehe.”

Kyuse’s plan to dominate the middle world.

It’s now on track.

Dream.

I communicated with my stepmother using dream intrusion.

“Really. These days, I live just waiting for the night. How happy I am to meet you even in dreams.”

My stepmother spoke with a face full of benevolence and happiness, spreading her arms. At first, she felt like a true duchess, but after becoming my woman, she was literally a demon.

“Come here, my son. I want to embrace you, or rather, devour you.”

“I’m embarrassed, mother.”

We immediately embraced each other, sharing affection. During this, I reported on the current plan regarding the propaganda.

“You prepared well, huh? Or did you do it beforehand?”

“I did it beforehand.”

“As expected. You’re quite capable. I see.”

“By the way, mother. How was it when you fought those baron’s forces?”

“They were very easy opponents. They couldn’t even recover their army. I could crush them more easily than stepping on a bug.”

Indeed, the Duchess.

“Anyway, since that land has become mine, I will run it with mutual support with my son.”

“Yes.”

“And this is important, now those three baronies can be considered the front line. Right outside is Count Saidin’s territory. There might be a fierce war.”

I knew that.

“In fact, we’ve already received a declaration of war.”

“Hmm.”

“But if the count attacks the baronies’ line, the angels will advance too. Currently, the count is sandwiched like in a sandwich. We’ve played our cards very well this time. hehehe.”

This poor count.

Trapped with nothing he can do.

“Hehehe, as expected of you, mother. You’re truly the Duchess!”

“This was the picture I had drawn from the start. With this, we can crush the count and deal with the angels directly. Of course, we’ll need to keep the elves in check.”

“Elves, huh.”

“Interested?”

“Isn’t that land ruled by the Elf Queen?”

“Are you thinking of seducing the Elf Queen like you did with me?”

“Yes.”

“How bold. Then, I’ll arrange a meeting. We’ve had dealings with the elves since our territories are adjacent.”

“Oh! Excellent!”

In this way, I chatted with my stepmother while rolling around in the dream bed.

“Then, mother. At this timing, I’ll go to the jungle to gather some soldiers.”

“Hmm… well, that should be fine. Just make sure to keep some forces ready to support the baronies in case of emergency.”

“Understood.”

“This feels like having a reliable general under me.”

“Isn’t it more like I’m above you?”

The conversation ended here.

Now, let’s proceed with the mating press.

The next day.

As planned, I dispatched former abbess Angelica, the nuns, and Lady Anna.

“Safe travels.”

“Yes! Leave it to me!”

“Please look after the nuns.”

“Yes!”

Anna, who answered energetically, was really cute. Anyway, the nuns would go to the baronies’ line to distribute propaganda, and Anna would escort them. Let’s use this to unite the ideology and gather the residents of the baronies.

“Good. Everything is going smoothly.”

Meanwhile,

I proceeded with my plan to advance into the jungle to harvest my monster subordinates. With high spirits, I was about to execute my march plan when…

“Brother Kyuse!!!”

-Crash!

“Argh!”

Karuti’s evil eye burst through the window, almost going crazy!

“What, what is it! Karuti! What’s wrong?”

“GATE!!!”

“What?”

“GATE! It’s a GATE! A gate has appeared!!!”

What, what did you say?!

A gate?!

“The dimensional monsters I warned about before! They’ve landed in the middle world!”

“Damn!”

If there’s a feeling like your heart was freezing, it would be this!

“Of all times, now!”

I heard the warning before, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon…!

“But where is it!”

“Helson Barony!”

“What?!”

Helson Barony?!
