Shuna and Soei were the first to return to the city in the morning after
diablo Report.
“I've returned safely!” Shuna proclaimed, rubbing her cheeks.
He seems to have exhausted his magic power in battle,
it took him several hours of recovery before he could perform Spatial Motion.
I can only use the Dominate Space to jump to where I am
wanted, but Shuna's lack of magicule storage meant she could only
knocking out so much magic per day. Soei can use Shadow Motion
alone, but he waited, thinking it would be the first to return
despite being Shuna's guard. Even now, some of his replicas were patrolling
on the main base of Clayman —I guess nothing too uncertain happened
at present.
“Then where is Hakuro?”
“I asked him to clear things up,” Shuna replied with a smile
when Soei shifted her eyes. So they threw all the work
that's him, huh? Hakuro, unable to use Spatial Motion, does not have
there are many other ways if they leave him alone. But I don't know, he
always see Shuna as a beloved grandchild. Maybe he doesn't mind
that treatment.
Currently, he is working with Geld to investigate Clayman's castle
spoils of war, and orders the process of handling prisoners. I
thanking internally for handling all the acts
that boring move for me. Must be a lot of work, but an amateur
like I can't offer much help. I thought I'd just
take care of the mother unless asked.
Benimaru and the others arrived home that night
“Hah? What does our general leader do here?” My toot.
“Hee-hee... With the end of the war, there was no reason for me to stay there
forever. So I gave command to my talented officer, and we
leaving the scene. ”
He looks very excited. I thought this meant Benimaru let Three
Lycanthropeers handle the rest. I could see the sad faces of Alvis and the
his followers in my mind.
Both, Benimaru and Shuna — I thought they were really siblings, huh?
They just do exactly the same trick on their subordinates. I'm hoping
they'll learn a little responsibility from someone like myself—
Understood I believe this is the result of following your example, Master.
I'm not asking you to 'believe' anything! Besides, you know it must be wrong.
Is there anything messy in the circuit between morphing from Great Sage to
Raphael's?
Negatively. Such a phenomenon has not been detected.
Oh of course. Refused it. I'm sure part of his logic is being broadly enhanced.
Better let slide this — is not an argument I will win.
I decided to turn my attention back to Benimaru. “So, is
Gabil is still on the battlefield?”
“Yes, dia. He has formed a friendship with a man named Middray
priests in the ministry of Lady Milim, and they handled the postwar purge together. ”
“Ah. So Geld is in Clayman's castle, and Gabil is outside?”
Even Gabil helped, huh? Between him and Geld, it's a relief to see it all
this man handled the practical side of the war for me. I really can
relying on them. After all, the war didn't end after you
won it. Things become more hairier afterward, especially remembering
how we captured almost all of Clayman's men alive. Exists
there were many prisoners, in the field and in the castle, most of them were able to
works. We guaranteed them all their lives, so we had to step up
and take care of them. At least they're magic-born, not human, so you
no need to worry too much about the maintenance of — even though even they will
be grumpy if you don't feed them.
Does someone take revenge on you after losing in
battle or not, the winner is responsible for what happens
thereafter. Transporting all prisoners of war from the location at once was
main working. I don't want them to rebel when our eyes don't
looking at them, so we need guards patrolling at all times. Disarm
magic-born also did not neutralize them as a threat. This world has magic
and skills. Thinking about it, it's no wonder the take-no-prisoners approach
preferred until now, huh?
If only there was a surefire way to get them to do our bidding ...
“Oh, there is nothing to worry about there,” said Benimaru, a relaxed smile
still on his face. “I brought them all together and, ah, forced them to
see everything our way.”
“U... Yep. Fine.”
I instinctively nodded. No need to ask what they really are
talk, I'm sure. Some prisoners must be around to see Benimaru
burning Charybdis became crunchy, and so word got out about it, I
doubt too many of them want to try their luck.
Moreover, the Three Lycanthropeers were there, and the beastmen looked like candidates
qualified for custody management.
“So I don't think we'll see Gabil back here for a second?
“Maybe not. He can't use Spatial Motion, so I guess he will
back with Lycanthropeers.”
He'll fly back once everything's sorted out, I imagine. But wait—
“Wait, the Lycanthropeers are also coming?”
Why they they don't plan on bringing in all the sheltered citizens
and the prisoner who was stripped here, right?
“Ya,” replied Benimaru, “remember how Lady Milim destroyed the capital
The eurasian? We are talking about their housing in our country for now.”
As he said, those beastmen were strong enough that they could
march here without complaining. That's not what I asked, but.. okay?
“We really can't take it all, can we?”
It took a long time to set up a campsite for the twenty thousand who
we took it last time. Worse, Geld and a team of high orc engineers, who
I usually rely on this kind of work, busy somewhere else. Our
have some additional land available — spaces we open for
future development — but again, organizing camps will be
big deal.
“We discussed that with Geld and Alvis,” Benimaru explained. “We have
decided to divide the prisoners into rough brigades. They will be sent to
various destinations, actually.”
Yeah, that's a relief. Yet it seemed they were quite carefully sifting through them
respectively. If a prisoner has a village to return to, they are expelled
by oneself. Only beastmen wanted to learn a trade or a skill that was
coming to Tempest. Beastmen or magic-born with muscles, meanwhile, will
stay in place and serve under the command of Geld's team, rebuilding
the empty land that used to be Eurazania.
With Carillon stepping down from his demon lord post and joining the party
Milim, Eurazania is now technically the territory of Milim. It is located in the south of the forest
Jura, scattered in the middle of a vast and fertile land, and plans are being
took place to build a palace for Milim in the area. I have been
suggested to him that he should move his capital there, because
they built it from scratch, and he immediately agreed. There is no discussion
However, when thinking about it, I realized Milim had no staff, to be exact.
Middray and the rest of Dragon Faithful are his servants, in some way, but —
at least on paper — they only worship Milim; they are not bound
to him at all. So 'relocating the capital' is a strange way to
saying so, because he didn't really have a capital to begin with, but
I don't think that's too important.
Carillon and Frey both agreed with the idea, so we dove into it
building a new city. Our funding is provided by a stockpile of gold, silver, and
clayman's property; We have a group of ready POW workers organized
and assigned the job details; however Benimaru and Geld make everything
it went so well there, I don't have to worry.
I have always been amazed by their growth. Hey, Tamura! Remember me? Your boss,
who has to explain everything to you fifty times and you still can't
do it right? Yeah, I have a bunch of monsters that do
better job than you!
The way Benimaru says it, we will accommodate fewer people in Tempest
than ever.
“So we don't need to make new temporary housing?” Ask her.
“No, I think we should be fine. But it would not only be a beastmen;
We have magic-born prisoners as well. We have to make sure everyone
be aware of it and exercise appropriate caution. ”
“I understand,” said Rigurd with a nod. “Very good. I'll explain
this problem to everyone.”
These guys are so reliable. I don't even have to order it; they can
make your own decisions. Wait for... Can't these people get along without me
at this moment? The thought made me feel a little isolated
One night, a few days after Benimaru returned, Diablo entered my office
with a box painted black.
“Our negotiations are proceeding as planned, Sir Rimuru. This box contains proof of agreement
our peace and one part of reparation, for a total of one thousand and five hundred gold coins
stellar. ”
Oops. Forgot about that. Today is a day of peace talks, huh? He said
I don't need to show up, so forgetting it's not a big deal, really.
still feeling a little guilty. I feel like everyone is working hard on
this big work project, and I'm just sitting at my desk playing solitaire. Noth
like that, but still. I don't want to be lonely anyway.
Or that's how I comforted myself when Diablo handed the box to me.
“Ah, very good. That's more stellar than we thought, isn't it?”
He demanded an outrageous sum of ten thousand. As I know
then, no one was sure if ten thousand stellar were even circulating in
worldwide. “We can only make one stellar gold coin per month,” King
Gazel claimed when I asked. “Our kingdom did not start printing it
until quite a long time after our establishment, so I imagine
they have scarcity value!” He has a point — there are hundreds of times more
gold coins of assorted varieties flowed around.
Then now I have a thousand and five hundred of them here. More than 10 percent
from worldwide supply. It makes my head swim. You really can
seeing how strong Farmus is, it's capable of eroding this.
“Kurasa Farmus is really a superpower, right? I impressed them
collecting so much.”
“Maybe. But it seems most of these were seized from private coffers
King Edmaris himself. ”
According to Diablo, most of these stellar were the private property of the king, left in the
a safe without any use for talking. They have the support of the Kingdom
Dwarven, is worth a lot of cash, and also has art value, so they
it has belonged to the royal family for most of its long history.
“Luckily, the thought process of King Edmaris is as I planned.
Without the knights to protect his family, he reasoned, he would definitely lose
everything was so the nobles were at odds with him. ”
So he cleared the royal dome before. I-i understand.
“...So does that mean we're going to civil war soon?”
“No doubt, my lord,” replied the smiling Diablo. “Sisa balance is in
unpaid form of loan, but I doubt the new king will comply
the agreement was long.”
Considering the potential of the new king, Diablo had gone to great lengths to make
edmaris' younger brother, Edward, ascended the throne, instead of the young Edgar. This is done
with Edmaris approval; everyone involved felt it was the only one
the way forward. Normally, a former king would be rewarded with the rank of a duke
for his service to the country, but Edmaris refused, leaving his post
and become a viscount. In this role, he would soon move to a small patch of land
the countryside in the countryside — is not far from the land belonging to Earl Nidol Migam himself, close by
Jura Forest.
In everyone's eyes, it seemed like Edmaris had lost his lust for power.
In this case…
Report. Farmus' forces refuse to pay any remaining damages
will likely move to encourage all responsibility for the event
it's in EdmarisYa. Everything went as Diablo intended.
“Domain Nidol from Migam is home to the band Yohm as well. In this way,
they can help if something happens, huh? ”
“Indeed, my lord,” replied, still smiling while Shion listened in
behind me, pouting. Or maybe not listening. He might tune it
as soon as he realized it was all in his head. But I'm not talking about it.
Hmmmm. Nidol's land borders Jura. According to state standards,
it was medium in size, had its own Free Guild branch and a sufficient population
good. If you're going to start a popular movement, it's not a bad place for that.
That's where Yohm is, and he's famous around those parts, hailed as
champion and widely supported by his people.
“If the new king tries to leave Edmaris, can Yohm
stopped it?”
“He can, Sir. If Sir John denounced the new king for his insolence, no
doubtless will cause conflict.”
So, Yohm siding with Edmaris will lead to a clash of desires
which is quite natural. Sounds perfect. If the new king really
paying off his debt to us, it would be difficult to do many things against him.
We have to prepare ourselves for the long term, aim to drop
Farmus little by little. But Diablo thought two steps ahead of me,
manipulating people's thoughts and willingness to get results. In the matter of
this, many things might start to move in a hurry.
There is no doubt that the new king will try to get Edmaris out of the
pronto's images. If the government can arrest him, our plan will be ruined.
Of course, we can ignore the new king and move on, but it has to be paid
with whatever trust the international community has in us.
Always have moral control. That is how the human world works.
“Well, just in case with caution, okay? Can you manipulate the new king's side
without getting too many people killed?”
“If that's what you're looking for, yes. Allow me, Diablo, to handle it.”
Very reliable. He's almost smart. If I give it to him
to him, he seemed ready to achieve anything near everything.
“Then do it. If you're short on war money, you can use
some of this stellar if you want.”
