by fnovelpiaUnder the joy of victory, the Demon King repeatedly opposes and unites with each other.
Durin headed to the Demon Beast Farm.
It was to see the nest, which had finally begun normal operation with hundreds of trainers under its command. If the undead soldiers who fight without fear were a large part of the Demon King’s Castle, the Demon Beasts were a strong foundation that created the time and environment for them to fight.
When the White Wings tried to change the battlefield by deploying Holy Knights, the Demon King had to respond quickly, so the Demon Beasts played a role in filling the gap. If they did not defend themselves with physical bullets, they would have no choice but to face a destructive charge with their bare bodies that the devil could not withstand.
It was that important.
“Starting today, when the queen starts laying eggs, she will be able to produce combat-ready beasts in three days at the latest. Although it is still only a low level, within a month, a high level level that can fight a paladin can be placed in an extracorporeal uterus.”
The general manager of the farm approached him and reported.
The unusual insect-like demon with eight spider legs clenched its jaw and did not hide its excited emotions. Durin asked, looking at the countless eggs on the floor and ceiling.
“The lower class said it was three days. So, when will the higher level positions be available?”
“Advanced magic beasts that have completed training require at least a month. If you hastily add it to the corps before then, it may become uncontrollable and pose a great threat on the battlefield.”
“Hmm.”
one month.
It was longer than I thought.
Advanced magical beasts such as Minotaur and Giant Lizard Sauros were not just meat shields to block Paladin attacks, but were also good cards that could play with angel formations. If possible, I wanted to increase the number of cards I could hide in my hand by sending them to the upcoming war, but it was impossible.
Everything had to be done before the angel caught the devil.
“In that case, first train low-level demon beasts to supplement their numbers. All you need is the ability to block a paladin charge once.”
“It’s not that difficult. dismissal. I will tell you the truth right away.”
The spider demon bowed his head and received the command. Durin nodded and immediately walked away.
There was no time to rest for the reorganization of the military. This time, the destination was a cavalry training center near the Demonic Beast Farm.
The moment I left the gloomy and musty cave and saw the open sky, a vast plain came into view.
A space with a wall on either side, a prison where warriors were imprisoned, and a drawing room where children of high-ranking nobles were held hostage. Meanwhile, riders on wolves were keeping pace.
“The cavalry is one piece! Never fall. If you step out of line, I will cut off your head and turn you into a Dullahan!”
“Do you also want to become a Ghost Knight? If so, jump out first! I’ll kill them all!”
“Stupid guys! The southern barbarians will listen better than you! Why do you have red horns on your head? Just cut it right away, boil it down and take it as medicine!”
Harsh shouts kept coming out.
The regular cavalry was finally reorganized in the Demon King’s Castle, which had a heavy infantry-oriented formation, so it was being built from the ground up. It’s not that there was no cavalry at all, but the central Demon King’s army constantly fought against angels, so the demand for cavalry was extreme.
The sight of someone melting away once they collided with a Holy Knight was a shame that even the demon kings who had joined the ranks of the Ming Dynasty were astonished.
The Demon King eventually moved towards hiring cavalry from the north rather than directly training them. Those who grew up with demon beasts in the winter land have lived as horse beasts since they were born, so as long as they had the goods, they became a very easy supplier.
But now things were different.
Durin dreamed of a powerful army. Demons dreaming the same dream under one demon world.
In order to drive out Heaven, they took advantage of the adequate quantity and the terrain of the Demon World, but it was not enough.
There had to be a bond. Only when the legion accepted its duty of protection as one body and fought, could it defeat the angel.
The angels, who had been united for a long time under the name of the God of Light, were so powerful that the devils did not dare to go outside the demon world. This was the reason why the godless devils had no choice but to be pushed out. I had to fight with just survival instinct and fighting spirit.
So a demon king was needed. He was the only being that allowed demons to have the honor of dying for someone.
“Your Excellency! I can’t believe you came here without any communication. Sorry for not greeting you first!”
When Durin was quietly contemplating, a voice woke him up.
The captain of the Dullahan Guard soon approached and bowed to the regent. After signaling that he was okay with a single wave of his hand, Durin returned his gaze to the cavalrymen.
“Are all those riders volunteers?”
“Yes. It is comprised of soldiers with some cavalry service history among the Royal Guards and those who wish to apply for a new branch.”
“Are all application qualifications set to undead?”
“Considering angels and consumption, I thought it would be better to have undead that can be summoned again at any time, so I limited it like that.”
“Good. Think about Icheon now and nurture it. When the time comes, I will give the order again.”
“I will do as instructed.”
This is the beginning. Right now, I still have to deal with enemies who attack while crouching as heavy infantry, but it will be different in the future.
One day, demonic knights roaming through enemies will appear on the battlefield.
“We will definitely rebuild the corps that your Excellency wants.”
The captain of the guard kneels and chants.
Looking down at him, Durin nodded.
“I’m waiting.”
Although it was slow, progress was being made.
If we can overcome the greatest challenge to come, we will be able to take one more step forward to regain our former glory.
… …
“Your Excellency. We were waiting too.”
I wanted to take that step, but it wasn’t easy. As the reform of the military system gained momentum, Durin was able to proceed on his own without having to project direct influence. However, the pus that had bloomed inside was still thick and tried to stay in place.
When I returned to the King’s Hall, there was a chilly atmosphere. This is evidence that there was probably a fight between the two demons. The weak floating magic energy was the evidence.
Durin could guess who the two opponents were right away.
“Serpin. What were you doing instead of going back?”
“I was guessing the weight I must feel as the king. It is a duty that I will soon have to shoulder.”
“It is a good attitude. Then, this time it’s Killahal. Why are you here?”
“To do what must be done as a senator.”
Kilahal, an old demon who is the head of the Red Horn Senate and serves three demon kings.
He chuckled, smoothing his beard as white as a Supreme Court justice.
“Your Excellency. As you may have seen, volunteers are gathering from all over the country. They are all people who are building up their courage to fight against angels.”
I saw “. Certainly, with such momentum, it wouldn’t be strange if it was immediately sent into battle.”
“It’s great to see your character growing, but if you swallow too many things at once, you’ll get in trouble. For that reason, our Senate has decided to take action. We will classify them all into legions and prepare for war.”
Kilahal politely suggested.
At first glance, it was a straightforward theory. But Durin had something he wanted to say to him.
“If I had that kind of power, it would have been great to lend a hand during the southern rebellion.”
“It was an emergency situation at the time. We are finally out of the confusion, so please forgive us.”
“If you want forgiveness, you will have to fulfill a great duty.”
“I will do anything.”
As expected, the answer was good. He looked confident.
Perhaps uncomfortable with that sight, a green-horned devil who was with him in Daejeon cleared his throat.
“Keuhum! It’s easier said than done, but shouldn’t we take it a little further? We have just won the civil war and are reorganizing the military. I think it would be better to entrust the volunteer army to the regent and ensure the transformation.”
“Uh huh.”
Immediately, a counterargument came out of the red horn.
“Do you know how much work you are doing now? In fact, he takes on all the work of the castle. Nevertheless, it can be said that it is truly amazing that he filled the lost authority with his own strength and achieved victory in all wars.”
A young devil who appeared to be his lieutenant stepped forward to replace Kilahal.
“There are many warlords gathered through this war. If you add all the troops gathered for the elector’s meeting, the number will probably be 100,000 or more.”
“Umm.”
“Has this number been gathered together since the War in Heaven 100 years ago? It’s even almost twice as many as before! No one will look at this and think that our demon world is in decline. And all these achievements were accomplished by the regent.”
“That’s… That’s right. I admit that there is nothing wrong with what you said.”
“Thank you for your understanding. So aren’t we now comrades in the same boat? We must work together to help the regent. Those volunteer corps must be integrated into one corps. That is what we must do.”
The words that came out like clear water left the green horns speechless.
There was clearly a reason for taking the lead in praising the regent like that. They will try to share the profits under his shadow. But there was no justification.
A demon world that is dealt with by force according to the law of the fittest?
It was a story about warriors. In the world of high-ranking demons who play with each other according to the law and power, there is no one left to criticize, so everyone is busy looking away while grinning.
The experience of almost experiencing a major defeat in the Northern War left them speechless.
Killahal, who was watching this, smiled and walked out.
“Let’s sleep. It’s too hot. Since your Excellency is here, should we just talk among the officials?
The old devil took control of the atmosphere of Daejeon. And then I saw Durin, who was quietly watching the scene.
“Please make your judgment. We could discuss it among ourselves, but it was not a matter we could decide on.”
Kilahal knelt down and bowed to Durin.
“I hope that we can move forward in a direction that can help in the war against angels.”
Treatment of volunteer troops.
It was a battle of wits for command of the army of red horn warriors. As the supreme commander, the demon who would be the highest placed was Durin, but they struggled to share command in detail below him.
Red horn and green horn.
Those who will not lose the throne if it has already been given away, and those who will bring back the glory of the throne in the past.
Durin cursed under his breath. Even in this situation, they are the ones who fight. They were not prepared to do their true duty.
That’s why it doesn’t match the rhythm.
“We will discuss that later. We will discuss it again after the reorganization of the central army is completed.”
“Your Excellency. But there are more than 50,000 troops screaming out there. Unless we send them back, that commotion will end up irritating heaven.”
“The war is coming anyway, so is there any problem?”
“Shouldn’t we be prepared and ready to greet you when we want?”
Killahal raised his head. He made eye contact with the regent.
“Please consider it.”
“Not necessary. Stop talking nonsense and go in.”
Durin was strong. He glared at Killahal with the intention of cutting him down immediately if he opened his mouth any further. A heavy burden of demonic energy spread throughout Daejeon. The other high-ranking demons who had been dazed were so startled that they slowly retreated.
“… … .”
Killahal, like a long-lived devil, withstood the energy. But that was it.
He was completely pressed down by Durin and could not move. In the end, he had no choice but to put his head back on the ground and listen to the regent’s orders.
Chapter I became quiet. It was just the right atmosphere.
Durin got up just in time.
“As you say, the number of volunteer soldiers out there is ridiculously large. To the point where I wonder if our military can control it.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But isn’t that enough to use this? We will soon enter a new era, so we will hold a grand coronation ceremony.”
coronation.
The chilly air was ventilated. The momentum that Durin was giving off was now new blood in his feet. The story going around among the nobles has changed.
Durin declared to them.
“Summon all the electors immediately this evening. Discussions will begin to elect the Demon King.”
