You only need one step
As soon as Leon succeeded in recruiting Sahara, he began to pursue a plan to replace the ministers of the Philo Empire with aristocratic nobles.
Naturally, the process was being carried out in secret, but how did the nobles of the Philo Empire grasp this fact and they began to prepare for exile to another country in earnest.
Among them, there were aristocrats who began to fight in earnest when they started preparing for exile to another country only with their words, but when they started making mistakes, it was possible to subdue even the nobles with strong enlisted soldiers with just 10 Titans.
It would be a different story if there were even a sword master who used the 12-star aura, but there is only one 12-star warrior in the Philo Empire.
There was no need to worry as he was the only Randall Prescott loyal to the imperial family.
I thought…
“Ten Titans destroyed? How the hell?”
“This is a report of being hit by a single enemy.”
Fortunately, all the pilots seemed to have managed to escape safely.
By imprinting the Blink magic on the exoskeleton suit provided as the pilot’s basic equipment, he succeeded in escaping with transcendent athletic ability and space movement.
“How could that be?”
If he had been attacked by a large number of enemies, he would have been able to convince him that it could be the case.
For example, if all the elders of the matap united their will and developed internal conflict into a full-fledged war rather than exile to a foreign country, it might be possible to face the Titans until the 10th.
However, according to the report, there was only one enemy who destroyed the Titan.
If there was an Absolute with such power in the Philo Empire, it would be…
“Are they the tower owners of the tower?”
If there is a possibility, is it possible to be a top shareholder?
However, Leon was definitely monitoring the movements of the top lords by employing a superior group of beasts for intelligence warfare.
“Did the pilots not see the enemy’s face?”
“It is said that he was not able to grasp his identity because he was wearing a deep hood. The only thing I used was that I used 12-star Aura and 8-circle wind magic.”
“what······?”
When it comes to that level of strength, it’s almost like a Demon King.
Of course, that’s not to say that humans couldn’t get into that realm.
Because there was at least one person who had reached that level by Leon’s side.
The hero, Zeke Krauss.
Perhaps Leon was not aware of it, but a genius born with a similar level of talent lived in hiding, and then took advantage of the chaotic war to reveal that talent.
“However······.”
Zeke was raised with all the support of the Holy Empire from an early age.
However, the Philo Empire is different from the Holy Empire.
A country that cannot be taught without power.
In the first place, in order to fundamentally change the Philo Empire, didn’t Leon decide to inherit the throne?
No matter how talented you are, when it comes to magic, it is not easy to reach that level without teaching.
“Could it be the support of the hostile country?”
As Leon was afraid to think of such a question, a servant slammed the door and ran in.
“My Majesty King! Please forgive the rudeness! This is an urgent report!”
“Report.”
“It is said that Barnard Maroon Portland of Karma Tower and Headward Polo Tempest of Green magic tower have fled the surveillance and have fled to other countries.”
“Aren’t they the ones who defeated the Titans this time?”
“no. They moved shortly after the destruction of the Titans.”
“therefore? What country did they go to?”
“The Northern Kingdom, this is Panim.”
Panim Kingdom.
The relationship with the Philo Empire was very poor.
As the demons began to invade the human world, a public enemy appeared, and the full-scale war in the human world was temporarily halted.
In a situation where it is difficult for humans to overcome the demons, even if they unite, there is no time for each other to undermine each other’s strength, so if there is a country that promotes rebellion, it is easy to be beaten by multiple countries.
In the midst of this, the Panim Kingdom was one of the countries that continued to fight for the Philo Empire.
100 years ago, when the Philo Empire was still a kingdom, the Philo Kingdom was one of the most used kingdoms among the kingdoms.
However, the southern part of the kingdom was taken from the demons, and the northern agricultural area was taken away by the continuous looting of the Panim Kingdom to the north, and its power had been weakened.
However, since the level has continued at a critical level that will receive criticism from other countries, this problem has been dismissed as a problem between the Philo Empire and the Panim Kingdom.
Naturally, the relationship between the Philo Empire and the Panim Kingdom could not be good.
“Why do the top owners go to the Panim Kingdom?”
Of course, if the top owners are forced to flee to other countries, they will choose a place with better treatment.
However, no matter how much the 8th Circle Archmage goes to exile to a country with poor relations, the treatment can’t be good, right?
His doubts were immediately revealed.
It had begun to march from the Kingdom of Panim to the border of the Empire of Philo.
And the declaration of war delivered.
“Lion Farostel Veritas, the king of the Demon Kingdom Veritas, is the Demon King under the control of the Demons! If he succeeds to the throne of the Philo Empire, we will judge the Philo Empire as a part of the Demon Kingdom and will never forgive him!”
The problem was the Berseria that Leon had hired as a maid this time.
Veronica’s horns are small enough to cover it with a headdress, but Berseria is different.
Among the demons, it is widely known that the bigger the horn, the more powerful it can be, but Berseria is a demon that boasts large horns that almost resemble a demon king.
Of course, she couldn’t easily hide the fact that she was a demon.
The fact that he kept her close and treated her as a maid was politically digging into it.
But even if it was the Kingdom of Panim, he wouldn’t really think so.
Even so, Leon has been subjugating as many as four demon lords so far.
Even if they now have at least one demon, the people’s hearts are about Leon, so I was convinced that the demons would come in with their heads bowed.
“Perhaps the Panim Kingdom felt a sense of crisis.”
Again, the relationship between the Philo Empire and the Panim Kingdom is not good.
No, to put it bluntly, they were close to the enemy.
The Panim Kingdom is an agricultural land stolen from the Philo Empire. For the past 100 years, although the land is relatively small, it is a country that has been awash with abundant food and its population has been called up.
On the other hand, the Philo Kingdom was a nation that barely survived the incursion of demons, suffering from shortages of agricultural land, and struggling with food shortages.
Naturally, the second most hated country after the demons is the Panim Kingdom that caused the food shortage.
Under such circumstances, when the Philo Empire tried to expand its military power through mergers and acquisitions with the Veritas Kingdom, it was decided that it could no longer be turned back.
Originally, if the conflict between countries grew to this extent, neighboring countries would arbitrate, but on the contrary, they supported the Kingdom of Panim and started to expand the war even more.
“Now it’s time to breathe.”
Leon took this opportunity to subdue most of the demons living in the southern tip of the Radiant Continent and expelled them to the Demon Realm.
In the process, the Demon King of Harvest and most of the demons who followed him died, and the Demon God of Harvest was pushed out of the Seven Lords of the Demon Realm.
In other words, as the power of harvest and the contamination of the demons by the blood of the demons weakened, the number of demons was drastically reduced.
In addition, rumors about the Kingdom of Veritas began to become famous on the continent.
nice country to live in.
A country where magic has developed.
A country with great technology.
If you can help the Panim Kingdom in the war and occupy the Philo Empire, you will have a livable land, magical knowledge, and technology.
Of course, I’m bound to be greedy.
Under such circumstances, the majority of the troops protecting the Philo Empire had to leave the Philo Empire with the noble families, so perhaps they thought it was worth doing?
“It’s stupid.”
It was Zeke who spoke like that.
“Even if four countries join forces, they will not be able to defeat one Master.”
In fact, it would be possible to lead a small country to ruin by itself if it were Sieg’s skills.
The words that Zeke was saying had no choice but to add more weight.
“But no country can overthrow all four countries.”
At those words, Berseria asked, with her innocent eyes shining brightly.
[Why?]
“Do you know what kind of devil I am? If you can annihilate 4 countries, how many people will you have to kill them all?”
I can, but I won’t.
That was Leon’s choice.
[From the point of view of the demons, it is more terrible than the devil….]
“What did you say?”
[no! it’s nothing!]
“Then what are you going to do?”
Leon answered Ailee’s question.
“You only need one.”
“just one?”
“Why are they supporting the Panim Kingdom and trying to attack us?”
“You don’t really think of Leon as a Demon King, so maybe it’s because you thought it was worth it, right?”
“Then you just have to let them know that it’s not really worth it.”
By showing the three countries that support the Panim Kingdom thoroughly trampling the Panim Kingdom, the power of the Philo Empire and the power of the Veritas Kingdom will be clearly revealed to the world.
It’s not a place you’d dare to touch,
with a warning message.

“Did you know what I did?”
At Leon’s confident voice, Sahara narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth in a dissatisfied tone.
“…you’re not the emperor yet, are you? You know I’m still the queen, don’t you?”
“How are you? You’re going to be my secretary soon.”
Sahara pointed to her forehead and said, ‘Somehow I’m in trouble…’ He sighed and opened his mouth.
“According to my research, none of the four countries that are hostile to the Philo Empire have mastered all of the 12-star martial arts and the 8-circle magic.”
“Then what is the identity of the person who destroyed the Titan?”
“I don’t know. How do I know?”
There was too little information.
But at this point, there was a suspicious person, no, there was a power.
“Perhaps support from the Demon Realm?”
“It could be.”
Suspicion, but no confirmation.Read at noblemtl.com
Just thinking about the identity of the other person here in the first place does not solve the problem.
“How is the other country’s movement?”
“The Kingdom of Panim has already succeeded in entering without blood. And the other three countries have begun their march. I think it will take at least a month or more to arrive.”
The aristocratic family in Korea opened the door to the Kingdom of Panim.
I don’t know what the deal was, but if the Panim Kingdom won the war, it was promised treatment equivalent to that of a noble.
“The problem is the reinforcements.”
I’m not worried about their military.
One thing Leon considers.
How to bleed as little as possible.
The method that Leon came up with to achieve that was a very simple method.
“Before the reinforcements arrive at the Philo Empire, they destroy the Panim Kingdom.”
If anyone else had said that, I would have snorted, saying that is nonsense.
As long as the speaker was Leon, no one could sneer.
