The Holy Chronicles Of Baator
The Back Home At Last

After some time, I finally returned home to Castle Fuerig. When I was in the Sunset Monster Mountain Range for approximately 4 months, here, nothing changed. Though, it was understandable, because the perception of time from the point of view of Satan was very different from that of humans.

Now I finally have a chance to learn magic more complexly. After I achieved Adept-Ranked mastery over the Norse Rune, more precisely the Lightning Rune and Fire Rune, were two things I learned.

While I used runes until now in a more crude way, it meant just juggling runes and throwing them away.

Now I'm going to try to form energy into shapes and things.

I have some simple ones, to more complex ones like the Lightning Dragon Spell.

Compared to the complicated Norse Magic, Demon Magic was easy to learn and master, although the firepower of this type of magic was considerably lacking. In Norse Magic, it was all about the construction of the spells I worked on.

After I returned to Castle Fuerig, I took a good shower as the first thing I did. After finishing the bath, I needed to meet with General Borke Zagan to receive a report on what happened before I set out for my training.

Four months was a short time for the Devil, but I left many orders before leaving the Palace about what needed to be done.

When I returned to my study, I had already found General Borke Zagan waiting for me there as he bowed as I entered.

"My lord."

"General."

We greeted each other as we sat down.

"So, you can start with your report."

I said to him; after that, I looked through the window of my study.

"The army cleanup process has been completed. We have found spies and other intruders from the House of Demons and killed them all. It created some small holes in the chain of command, but it would be resolved quickly."

General Borke Zagan secretly reported. I was not too surprised; perhaps, every troop belonging to the 72 Pillars or Extra Demons was infiltrated by the loyalists of the Four Demons. Perhaps some powerful House like Bael or Agares had already cleared their traitors. Before the war began, this was an important thing to do.

"good. Have you started the selection process of loyal warriors to receive the [Outside Demon Body Tempering Method]?"

I'm quite satisfied to hear this. While the [Devil Body Forging Method] was a great discovery, it was useless if I did not use it on my soldiers. It also gave rise to the possibility of leaking the [Devil Outer Body Tempering Method] to another House that I did not follow, or even worse, to the Four Demonic Houses.

Although I am not worried about the Lucifer House and its Six Lucifer Houses, this is not the time.

Therefore, I ordered General Borke Zagan and the other Generals in the Supreme Class loyal to the Gremory Family to search for any spies and traitors in my army and kill them mercilessly.

After that, they will look for a suitable warrior who will sign a Geass Contract with the Gremory Family, pledging their eternal loyalty to the Gremory Family, especially to me.

Then I can safely give them the [Devil Body Forging Method] for training, as it will produce powerful, Middle-class beings, in the physical aspect more easily and quickly.

"How are my Army and Legion doing at this time?"

"Currently, the entire army has 3 million soldiers, divided into 15 Legions, with each General leading three Legions. Most of the soldiers are Low Class, while about 40% are Middle Class if we make a rank. based on Demon Energy. If we talk about the physical aspect, the percentage is much lower, but with enough time and [Devil Outer Body Tempering Method], we can raise all of our soldiers to Middle Class in physique."

I am not surprised to hear this; most ordinary demon warriors are not that strong. Only a few Houses had powerful armies, such as the House of Lucifer, which had almost all Middle Class warriors, or the House of Bael, which was similar to or the House of Agares.

My goal is the same as theirs, to improve the quality of my soldiers.

"How long do you think it's been? War is coming, and if we have an army of Middle Class beings in terms of physique, while half of them are also Middle Class in Demon Energy, my army will be very strong. ."

Until the Great War was roughly about 19 years old, so I had enough time to see some results.

"It's hard to say, if His Majesty invests some Soul Coins into training warriors, it sometimes has to be between 10 to 12 years before we train such an army."

Ten years or 12 years is not a bad prediction. I have enough time before the Great War begins, so this time frame is acceptable, and maybe even good, because there is still enough time even after the time frame is up to be fixed.

“Investing some Soul Coins is not a problem. With my current business situation in the Underworld, practically every house buys weapons and armor from me, so Soul Coins are one of my last concerns. Use it well and speed up the training process ."

Currently, I have almost most of the places where weapons and armor and other items for soldiers are produced. So everyone who armed their troops bought them from me, and the coins just cascaded into my pocket.

Even the quality of the weapons produced by my factory improved, although not as good as the mass-produced weapons as the dwarves in Nidavelir did; it was still much better compared to the old demons.
