After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Demon King’s Territory Approaches Utopia

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The huge bee was a large bee-like demonic creature that was almost half the height of a person… This was the belief of humans. Humans were used to calling all demonic creatures demonic creatures.

However, if it was in the Demon King’s Territory, demonic creatures with a certain level of intelligence were called demonic creatures and those without intelligence were called demonic beasts.

Although there was no taboo in the way they were addressed, and they would not flare up even if it was wrong, they still had to be properly classified.

Ira and the Black Flame Headless Horseman rode the same horse because Ira still did not know how to ride.

After receiving the still sleepy Satan Leaf, the few of them went to the residence of the Insectoid leader and the Headless Horseman to gather them.

How should he put it? Hmm… there was almost no troublesome process.

Ira explained the situation to the two leaders and left it to them to decide how many troops they wanted to bring. Even if they did not know that it was the decree of Satan Leaf at that time, it was the same. It was a very free and casual mobilization of troops, but this arrangement was indeed very fast.

If Ira was plotting, they would become sinners who buried the Demon King Army. However, Ira was not, so it became synonymous with [Fast] and [Decisive].

Such a simple sentence, “Bring your people to help me”, could mobilize a portion of the army. It felt really unbelievable and magical, and it made people doubt their safety.

However, it was also because of this that before the Empire had a Consul, it was beaten back by the demons.

What was worth mentioning was that almost every demonic creature had combat strength, but the main combat strength that now formed the Demon King Army was three races: the Headless Horseman (cavalry unit), the Black Knight (infantry unit), and the Insectoids (both land and air).

However, be it the Black Knight or the Headless Horseman, they were not good at fighting in the forest. Therefore, they called the Headless Horseman this time only to transport the Insectoid.

After arriving, the Headless Horseman would surround the target area and let the Insectoids attack.

In the Insectoid Clan, as could be seen in the morning court meeting, the Insectoids with beetle-like heads who were covered in insect shells were very standard combat strength. They were Insectoid warriors who were close-range professionals.

Among them, beetles were the most common, followed by the spider, centipede, and scorpion. Although they were Insectoids, Ira knew that they were actually not insects and should be arthropods, but it did not matter. After all, the insect race should be called the [Crust Demon Race] or something.

Ira vaguely remembered that when he was on the battlefield, other than the precious wings of the [Scarlet Dragon] that were used sparingly, the power of the Insectoids was definitely used a lot.

The fourth wing pillar of the Insectoids was very useful. It was a long rod that could change shape at will. If there was a chance, it was best for Ira to get some mana from the Insectoids. Then, he could ask the Insectoid Chief to try.

However…

As Ira thought, he looked at the Black Flame Headless Horseman sitting in front of him and galloping. He suddenly thought… The second wing pillar of the Headless Horseman was very useful. It could summon an automatic smart warhorse that was similar to a headless warhorse.

Just as Ira was thinking this, a mature voice sounded from the armor in front of him and chatted with him, “Mr. Ira, the flesh and bones of the giant bee should be useless to you or the Insectoids, right?”

“No,” Ira replied.

“We don’t need it either.” The Insectoid leader sitting behind the other Headless Horseman replied.

“Same for us.” The fairy sitting on Ira’s shoulder said.

“Then, they can be used to produce a new Headless Horseman. In the future, I’ll ask everyone in the morning if they need it, but Little Black definitely needs a body. To the undead, continuous battle and killing are the main way to grow.”

When the Black Flame Headless Horseman said this, it was within Ira’s expectations. This was because the Headless Horseman and the Black Knight were both undead creatures. The Headless Horseman was transformed from the warrior’s soul, and the Black Knight was transformed from the warrior’s undying body.

They could perfectly use it.

“Of course, I’ll say the usual situation.”

After expressing his yearning for battle, this Headless Horseman immediately added, “If a Consul like you appears on the battlefield, it’s better not to have the main theme of that battle.”

Indeed, although there were many races on the demonic creatures’ side who could fight, facing a ridiculous existence called the Consul, the speed of replenishment might not be able to catch up to the speed of killing.

Precision, efficiency, elegance, and coldness. These characteristics were the personality characteristics of the [Consul]. The greatest difference between the [Consul] and other professions was its specialization.

The goal of a mage was to explore magic and truth. Fighting was only a secondary ability. Warriors focused on fighting, and killing was only an effect. Therefore, no matter how strong they were, it was very difficult to change the situation of war.

To the war that was so long that it surpassed the human lifespan, the effect of the tactic called “Operation: Beheading the Leader” was infinitely reduced.

However, only the [Consul] was enough to change the situation of the war. This was because its [Mass Production] and [Targeting] were born to efficiently kill demonic creatures. On the battlefield against demonic creatures, they were naturally successful.

As Ira thought this…

“Mr. Ira, what you said this morning.”

Satan Leaf, who was holding the horse, asked… If it was in the Empire’s era, someone would already have begun to question Ira’s rebellious words.

If it was the Empire, he might be captured and interrogated. He also had to worry about being dealt with by the Emperor at all times.

However, if it was here, Ira could guarantee that he would definitely not be questioned at all. Satan Leaf definitely wanted to ask something else, but it was not regarding his etiquette.

“Yes?”

Ira made a puzzled sound, allowing Satan Leaf to continue asking… Yes, this Demon King would even only ask half a question to give Ira a way out because she did not know if she should continue asking.

“What do you mean by a country that can let its citizens live in satisfaction?”

“…”

Towards Satan Leaf and Celina who were looking at him curiously, to the black-flame Headless Horseman who turned around curiously, to the leader of the Insectoids… Wait, please control the horse properly? Don’t look around when driving!

Ira, who was complaining in his mind, organized his words slightly and said, “It has to be so powerful that no one dares to start a war against it. It has to be so peaceful that no one will start a war against any country. Everyone can eat their fill. No one will do their best to survive anymore, and no one will use their right to oppress. Even if they don’t need to lie and curry favor, they can live happily… There are many, many more, but that’s about it.”

“…”

Such a condition seemed to be familiar.

“The Demon King’s Territory is about to achieve those…” Satan Leaf said in confusion.

“…”

Yes, other than strength and survival.
