The Demon King of Fire reached out to Hilderan.

Most dismissed it as nonsensical nonsense.Some were outraged that it was the demon king’s scheme to strike the back of the head.
I couldn’t help it.
The humans of Arain have been fighting the demon kings who have descended for a whopping 1,000 years.
It was revealed that the false demon king, who was evaluated as a moderate demon king and maintained a good relationship, was actually hiding his ambition to conquer the continent by cultivating tremendous power.
Of course, there was no way I could trust the Demon King overnight.
“How much less the demon lord of lies is not the problem, he slaughtered hundreds of warriors and tens of thousands of humans, right?”
“Can’t you all leave and trust me?”
“He’s a huge slayer.”
“Is there still a way?”
“there is.”
Ernya laughed.
“Actually, people don’t really care.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because it’s more important to live in the realities that the Demon King used cowardly, and who actually took the side of this side.”
The large-scale invasion of monsters made their daily life cracked.
“The northern part of Hilderan has been swept away by demons. We did our best to protect it as much as possible to reduce damage, but it cannot be denied that it is in ruins.”
Rather, there was a sense of being pushed back even faster because of a strategic retreat. So people who don’t know anything will be mistaken.
Oh, even the Kingdom Army can’t stop them.
“In such a situation, the Demon Lord appeared and saved me dramatically. I became the Demon King riding the Sky Tower.”
“I understand that you want to change public opinion about me. Also that the Sky Tower was quite effective. But will that alone dispel the deep-rooted resentment?”
“I hope.”
It’s been a thousand years, and it’s a feeling that’s been heightened even more recently.
Humans and demons were enemies, and it wasn’t a problem that could be solved with just a little help.
“This is what I learned from Hillen. There’s nothing better than an external enemy to unite your schizophrenic allies and make good friends. It is said that a comrade who fought with the same enemy greatly dilutes the bad feelings of the past.”
“Are you saying that I and humans are allies?”
“We are not enemies.”
“…but it is. Is the enemy outside Jason?”
“I have one more. Empire.”
“Empire?”
“It doesn’t matter if you killed the warriors. It’s because the heroes have been accustomed to dying fighting the Demon King for a thousand years.”
Once you get used to your emotions, you become numb. The death of the hero was shocking, but in a way it was natural.
“The problem is the annihilation of more than 10,000 legions, which country did most of them come from?”
“It was an empire.”
There was a mix of Dormund’s troops, but most of them were Imperial.
“What about the upper echelons of that empire now?”
“…to that Jason.”
It’s eaten.
Berger’s eyes lit up.
“So, let’s unite Jason and the Empire as an axis of evil, shall we?”
“It is said that the Demon Lord was also used by the Demon Lord of Lies.”
The Demon King of Lies has been established for a long time and has tried to control the newly descended Demon Kings to his liking.
“···Called.”
“Let’s cover everything.”
“Of course, it’s quite complicated to fine-tune the details, but let’s get the big picture right.”
Of course, even if they did, those who did not like Dormut, the warriors who did not belong to the family, and those who just didn’t like the Demon King might curse Berger.
but so what?
“If there is no backlash, that’s weird. Humans are the ones who insult each other even when the same human beings work together. And it’s convenient to think of it as a good means of supplying magic.”
“…well, were you possibly a Demon King in a previous life?”
“Excuse me.”
“·················ogue.”
“Anyway, that’s why the role of the third prince planted in the Empire is important. Are you still in contact with the 3rd Prince?”
“Of course.”
“That’s fortunate. Then how about giving the third prince a little more power?”
“Power? How do you mean?”
“I’m going to put Kaedenim on it.”
“That means freeing Kaede. On what basis?”
“It is a symbol of peace. The story with Hilderan will turn out well.”
“…that’s amazing. You are the best.”
“You’re welcome. ah.”
Ernya opened her mouth. Berge is now accustomed to putting chocolate in his mouth. She had a happy expression on her face.
– No matter how you look at it, is this the villain?
– The Demon King is originally a villain. An unscrupulous race that attacks another dimension.
– But, Nias-sama, the Crown Princess is human.
– Don’t ask me about that. But where is the lieutenant who calls himself a close entourage at this important time?
– I’m learning how to operate the tower from the dwarves upstairs. The dark elf who shouts out shells and the tower of the sky seems to have lost its taste at some point.
The Spirit King sighed.
– I’m the only one at the top of this tower.
– By the time you say such a thing, even Nia-nim is already slashing your soul!

War is an action that requires a lot of preparation.
Train and prepare the army.
Preparing supplies for use by the military.
In the end, you have to raise money for it.
It doesn’t end there.
A war cannot be waged simply because weapons are prepared and an army is established.
It is necessary to discuss how and how to wage war.
Thinking about which route to advance through.
Considering the reactions of other countries when declaring war on a particular country.

Make sure the country can afford the war.Because of this, war is never easy or should never be done.
But this imperial declaration of war ignored everything.
A sudden declaration of war was issued without justification to a member of the alliance that was dealing with the enemy of mankind called the subjugation of the demon king.
Another alliance member, Iasin, was invaded by the pretext of the road.
Of course, the Empire’s side was only Ormus, who invaded the Jaasin together.
“The Emperor must have turned away!”
“Anyway! How could you do something like this without going crazy!”
“Where is the Emperor? The emperor is trying to eat up the empire, but the nobles who do not stop it even risking their lives have a problem!”
“How dare you do something like this, no matter how unsuccessful your heroism is!”
The confederations that had united in the Confederacy adopted a resolution relatively quickly and condemned the Empire.
And they decided to send the Allied Forces led by Akan as Iasin to help.
However, the support group was not so easy to organize and go. It was a fairly complex process and, of course, it took time.
In that gap, the royal capital of Iasin was captured.
* * *
“haha···.”
In the distance, the black smoke rising from the distance, the Prince of Iasin shed bloody tears.
That was the royal capital. Until recently, it was the proud history of Iasin.
“Your Majesty, you must go.”
“Be careful with your words. Peacock. I am not a king.”
“It is simple, but you have inherited the throne from your previous majesty. So your Majesty is the rightful King of this country.”
The prince licked his lips. I’ve never wished for a position like this.
The royal road is trampled on by the empire, and Abamama has to share her life with the royal road to protect the kingdom’s honor.
A future like this had never been imagined until just a few months ago.
“…I will definitely take revenge. You will never live under the same sky as the Empire.”
“God is by my side to help. First of all, you have to get out of this place. When we find out that His Majesty is gone, the Imperial Army will organize a pursuit.”
“If I run away, is there any hope?”
“Allied forces led by Akan have arrived at the border city.”
“I couldn’t stand that little bit.”
He let out a self-sabotaging laugh.
It wasn’t that Iasin was incompetent. It was because the war was close to a surprise, and that was because the Imperial Army was strong.
“I must join Akan first.”
“you’re right. If you join the Allied Forces, you will be able to return to the royal capital again.”
“It must be.”
certainly.
The king bit his lip and made up his mind.
“The gods will surely make it like that!”
“I will make it!”
The nobles, the knights, the soldiers, and the people bowed their heads in tears.
That was then.
───!
A huge seal fell from the sky with a bang.
People stumbled on the ground that looked like an earthquake had occurred.
“What, what!”
“It’s an attack!”
“Something fell!”
The knights drew their weapons and aimed at the pit. dust has been removed
“Hey, it’s a monster!”
“It’s a demon!”
Inside was a huge demon.
“…Lavinia Akan?”
However, the eyes of some nobles turned to the person sitting on the shoulders of the demons, not the demons.
The first prince, now the king of Iasin, took a step forward.
“Lungs, Your Majesty, it is dangerous!”
“Akhan’s reinforcements.”
The escort knights pushed and approached.
“Lavinia Akan. What’s going on here?”
Lavinia’s eyes met.
Startle-
The king trembled at the instantaneous chill.
‘what···?’
It was anger. It boils like an active volcano and looks like it will explode at any moment.
“Empire?”
“We are not an empire. They are the people of Iasin. Are you a supporter?”
“Iasin?”
“That’s right.”
“I, support.”
“Are you here alone? Where are the other troops?”
“I don’t know. Empire, where are you?”
“The Imperial Army is over there.”
The king pointed to the burning royal road.
“You are trampling on the history of your home country. Alone…”
“thank.”
──!
Ravinaa Akan disappeared.
“…you shouldn’t go.”
The last words of the king passed in vain.
In the distance, a huge monster spread its one and only wing and flew towards the royal capital.
“Are you going straight to the royal road?”
“…I think I’m alone, is it okay to do that?”
“Lavinia Akan looks like she is alone, but she is not alone. There are quite a few chimeras in magical artifacts that contain subspace magic.”
“Anyway, the Imperial Army is over 200,000.”
“…there are some thoughts from Akan, aren’t they sent?”
“Well, Akan isn’t even an idiot…”
The nobles nodded their heads, thinking that there was some kind of operation.
─!
At that moment, dust rose in the distance with the sound of horseshoes.
Unlike Lavinia, this time, she was able to recognize her identity at once.
“It’s Akan!”
“Akhan’s reinforcements!”
“No, wait.”
The leading knights were obviously elite, and the flag was hit by Akan.
However, the number was too small to be considered a support group.
Only about a hundred people.
They stopped a little distance from the ice-in.
“I am the 5th Prince of Akan, Cain Akan! Who is that?”
“I am the Prince of Jaas, Homerun Jaas!”
A group of Arkans who confirmed each other’s identities approached. Cain got off his horse. The soldiers led them to the front of King Homerun.
“Why are you here, who should be in the royal capital…?”
“That rumor is correct.”
“…we are late.”
“The Empire was fast.”
“Your Majesty?”
“Abama Mama has decided to take good care of herself and share the end with the royal road.”
“I see the king of the Jaasites.”
“Nice to meet you. But what are you? Are there too few support groups? Are you a reaper?”
“no. that···.”
After hesitating for a while, Cain spoke again.
“I am looking for people. Have you ever seen your sister? Riding a giant chimera . . .”
“I saw it. You asked the whereabouts of the Imperial Army a while ago and they flew to the royal road.”
“…God damn it, you’re late!”
Cain grinded his teeth.
“Oh, sorry.”
“No.”
“If it’s not rude, can I say hello again next time? Currently, Akan’s army has arrived at Baloin Castle. If you go there, you will meet him.”
Cain and the knights looked so urgent that Homerun nodded his head involuntarily.
They quickly disappeared towards the royal road.
“…it must have been something that wasn’t planned.”
“…the Chimera Princess of Akan said she was arrogant, and it was true.”
“Can I leave this as it is?”
“…you’ll figure it out. Unfortunately, they shouldn’t put us at risk. Quickly join Akan before the Empire organizes their pursuit.”
“Yes!”
“I take orders!”
Icein’s army quickly disappeared.
* * *
The 250,000 Imperial Army did not divide the corps into several branches.
Whether the request to borrow the road was sincere, they rapidly advanced to the royal road with only 50,000 advance squadrons and 200,000 main squadrons.
“Capture the royal capital before reinforcements from other countries arrive.”
The resistance was fierce, but the imperial army attacked even more fiercely.
Iasin was not a weak country, but it was not enough to deal with the legions of the Empire alone. Within a week, the royal capital was captured.
The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, the Duke of Ormus, arrived at the royal palace.
Sitting on the king’s throne, he faced the king of Iasians who were brought in miserably.
“I’m sorry. If only the Empire’s request to get out of the way had been granted, this would not have happened.”
“Don’t talk bullshit, the Jasin are not vassals of the Empire.”
“It’s not a subordinate country, but it’s a small country. It is natural for the weak to bow to the strong.”
“If not, you guys will be on their knees soon. The war that the Emperor and you have gone mad as a group will eventually end in your defeat.”
“Wrong.”
The peacock rested his chin on the throne.
“Empire always triumphs. This is the beginning of a full-scale war. Iasin is just an outpost.”
“You’re dancing!”
“You can dance. Because I, the Duke of the Empire, sit on this throne, and you, the king of a lesser country, kneel before me.”
“…Kill it.”
The peacock rose from the throne. It came close to the king’s nose.
“Just before the castle fell, a group of hordes escaped through the western gate.”
“·················ogue.”
“Isn’t that what you believe in? The future of the kingdom. The sprout of the kingdom.”
If they all come back captured.
“Will your dignified face be distorted a little too?”
“···bloke!”
“Yeah, that face. If you lose, you have to put on the face of the leader. Why are you so arrogant?”
Heh heh, the duke burst out laughing.
“I will be back soon. I am very much looking forward to the reunion between the rich…”
“dismissal!”
At that moment, a messenger rushed into Daejeon.
“Come. Did you catch the prince?”
“That, that….”
The duke’s brow wrinkled at the uncool answer.
“Report straight.”
“…a monster has appeared!”
“monster?”
“A monster has appeared and has wiped out the Marquis of Trion and the Knights of the Black Blade!”
“···what?”
“that that···!”
The messenger’s eyes were dyed with fear.
“One shot of that tiny fist blew Marquis Trion’s head! That bitch is a monster!”
