Chapter 55
The secret agreement with Shaldir Had been established, Its been a while since I give a report to demon king-sama.
You looks so busy, Vaito
Yes, Ive cleaned up my chores
Because I answered it so honestly, demon king-sama made a bitter smile.
Is it like defeat fake hero, dropped the morale of north Miraldia army, brought the enemy magician to our side and established a secret agreement with trade city Shaldir?
Ah, well.
Compared to the difficulty of the demon king-samas objective, this was nothing more like a chore. It will be fine as long as I cleaned up this kind of things
It cant be helped if demon king sama find this quite funny, so I put the report document on the desk.
If this is just a chore, then maybe demon king army just a people who only do a chore. If you are asking for more bigger job, then isnt it fine to withdraw from the demon king position and give it to you?
Pl-please wait a moment. If your majesty withdraw from the demon king position, then I will also resign myself from demon king army and go back to rural area
You really a man without any desire
Demon King happily laughing, I also laugh intentionally.
Aide position is really comfortable you know.
You did a good job in the fake hero case. How about that fake saint?
Right now, she can be called as my aide. her personality is gentle, not ambitious and a nice person
Lashs illusion is a first class. It can be used at the tactical level. She is a coward, but her core is a nice person.
demon king nodded deeply.
You are skillful in finding out enemies. Beyond that arm, you have more to surpassed
That word is too good for me
I cant simply kill the enemy and just leave it to rot.
But since I got praised, I keep silent about it.
And for the viceroy of Shaldirs case, your skill has been demonstrated very well
No, it was just a failure
I honestly told him that I had misunderstood about Alams personality and that I had carelessly scared him.
originally, I am not a person who able to persuade people. Its just that I was a former human being. It was hard for me to know that he was desperately playing the role as schemer
Hmm, I see
Demon lord was nodding.
But, Vaito. In the first place, the idea of performing oneself to be different from usual doesnt exist in demon kin. Theres no one who will be able to understand that lad
Thats certainly true.
even among the demon, it didnt necessary to make a character. Things were decided by strength. Even if they are equal, they somehow able to determine which one is above the other.
If the opponent is a strong person, then its okay as long as you do exactly to what the opponent said, if the opponent is weak, its okay to protect them if necessary. thats it.
Demon king-sama talked gently to me.
Human society is complicated. There are a lot of points that cant be understood by demon kin which survive by a simple and clear way of life. Thats the reason why I need someone like you. but maybe there will be a lot of hardships
demon king-sama made a wry smile and I unintentionally laughed.
No, mine is easier than the hardship from the pressure that demon king-sama get. So please leave it to me
No good, I promised without consideration again.
Hearing my word, demon king-sama nodded and say.
With you as an ally, Viceroy Alam will turn Miraldia Alliance into his enemy. At a time like that the true value of demon king army will be asked whether we can protect them or not.
Yes
It surely made me anxious.
Anyhow, the people in this world able to kill random people or a whole family No, maybe its because in the previous life I live in peace. Because how comfortable it is, it seems I lost the judgment around that part.
Fufu
Demon king-sama was strangely happy and laughed with his head tilted.
Is there something wrong?
No, its nothing. Hmm, I see..hmm hmm
Why are you laughing like that, demon king-sama?
Vaito
Yes
Along with the expansion of ruled area, surely you need more power from now on. My right-hand man, Ill bestow you 500 knights from blue scale knight order as your subordinate
Speaking of blue scale knight order, it was an elite that leads by aide Bartz of demon king army first division.
Y-you must not do that demon king-sama. They are a shield that protects your majesty right!?
However, demon king-sama shakes his head.
They are not to protect me. But to protect the future of demon kin. And it was not in here but in Rune Height
demon king-sama raised up and place his hand on my shoulder.
When I approached Bartz before, Bartz willingly accepted it because we are a friend from the same first division
But, who will protect your majesty
The red scale knight order who is equal with The blue scale knight order was dispatch to the north.
Many of the infantry forces of the first division are still in the Grunstadt castle, but it was still not enough with just an infantry alone.
Dont worry Vaito. I am more than enough to protect myself. I cant be called as demon king if I cant do that
Demon king-sama said so and then laughed.
Thanks to my retainer, I have a lot of free time. It made me a bit uneasy if I didnt do things like demon king once in a while
Thank you for your benevolence
I bowed very deeply and respectfully accept the goodwill of demon king-sama.
If they fight along with Vaito the hero killer, Im sure my subordinate will be in high spirit
Aide Bartz was laughing and marched along with me.
What I defeated is just a fake hero, so Im not proud of it
But it still the fact that they are a threat for the second division. It was amazing.
What they ride is a bipedal monster called mount dragon. I cant put heavy things on it, but they had a good maneuverability because it has 2 feet.
And its greatest forte is its nature because mount dragon is a carnivorous animal, so its a natural enemy for the horse. Therefore, the horse rider is instinctively reluctant to fight the mount dragon.
So it can be called as cavalry anti unit.
But they want to be ride only by dragonewt.
Thanks to that, Im walking right now. An ordinary horse cant march together with them, so I cant ride a horse.
Even though I am also an aide.
You just grinned while getting depressed since a while ago, is there something wrong?
N-no. Im glad to be able to fight along with blue scale knight order, but Im keenly aware of the weight of the responsibility.
Then, aide Bartz smiled and laughed.
Its also the same with us. We will be more diligent so we can be used to serve Vaito-dono
Wow, so reliable.
But with this, my troops will become more and more in chaos.
After I came back to Rune Height with blue scale knight order, inujin corps was making a place for the dragon user.
Ah, its Vaito-sama
Welcome back, Vaito-sama
Uwaa, a real dragon!
Well, what you made right now is a building for the mount dragon to rest right. Why you be so surprised like that.
Vaito-sama, can we ride this too?
No, its impossible. Only dragonewt who is able to ride it.
Ehh.. its regrettable
Just go back and do your job already.
When I returned to Rune Height, the tiredness from the trip was still not healed yet.
When I was thinking about what to do with the dragonewt soldier and the food for mount dragon, Aura ran to me.
Its bad desu! The Miraldia Alliance army is coming to Shaldir from the north!
What!? Who gives that report!?
Its a fast horse from Rune Height trade merchant desu! the composition is around 2000 cavalry and 2000 infantry from the reserved army!
What about siege weapon?
It seems nobody saw it desu
If theres no siege weapon, then I think they didnt want to attack Shaldir seriously. Perhaps it is a kind of political performance.
But I had an unpleasant premonition about this.
I stood up.
Called werewolf, centaur troops, and blue scale knight order. Maybe Alam is in crisis right now
