Chapter 46 – Episode 46 ― When People Gather, There Must Be (1)
Episode 46 ― When people gather, among them surely (1)
The story starts again, from the day the guild was launched.
It was the day that Erennier’s communication suddenly came.
—Roaan♡♡♡
“Eleanor.”
It is the first time that Elenir of the battlefield directly conveys his voice.
The sudden contact made Roan nervous.
“Anyway, anything? Are you okay?”
— Kyaaaaa♡
A choking scream was heard for a moment.
— As expected, as expected, Roan is kind♡
The only one who worries about me is Roan♡
… No way?
She is surrounded by her clan.
But she has no intention of betting on each other. The important thing to Elenir is my affection.
“It’s good if there are no problems.”
— Hehe. Come to think of it, the gift Roan sent me also arrived well. So pretty. Thank you.
Erenia’s voice subsided in an instant.
There is no problem.
The concubine is next to you.
It is not at all strange for an emperor to have many concubines and lovers as well as concubines.
Roan is the strongest demon.
Women who admire him are overflowing.
If she is to become queen, she is rather proud of it, and it is a virtue to accept it generously.
But the burning jealousy can’t be helped.
Roan is my own.
Of course, the jewel necklace of apples that Roan voluntarily paid for is a precious collection.
Every time she saw the necklace she put on Roan No. 2, a pouting laugh came out, but apart from that, Erenia had to take a few deep breaths and control her mind before communicating with Roan.
To hide your jealousy.
The skill does not apply to the voice through the magic orb. That’s why it was difficult for Roan to fully realize Eleanor’s feelings.
“Thank you too, Eleanor. After your victory, how about preparing for a wedding?”
– Texture… ♡♡♡♡♡
I didn’t hear anything for a while.
“Eleanor?”
— …
“Eleanor?”
Is there such a thing as a communication failure in magic spheres?
— Hehe… ♡ Go, gone…♡
… It’s so different from the Erennier I’ve seen in the game that I’m surprised.
This is the dignity of +100 favorability…
It’s climax just by mentioning the wedding.
Is it possible in daily life… ?
— That’s right, I heard Roan said that I would win the battle.♡
Roan narrowed his eyes.
It was only yesterday that I had a small meeting and a talk.
It must have been a short while since the meeting had been discussed with the people in charge of her practice.
Words like that already reached her ears.
Whether it’s her individual skills or the ability of the Southern Dark Spirit Lord, the power of the Ereneer clan is amazing.
Roan said softly, capturing the obvious question, “How did you know?”
“Hmm. I said you would definitely win.”
– Thank you thank you! Roan♡
To Roan, predicting Elenir’s victory was insignificant.
It’s just a statement about what happened while playing the game to do what’s next.
However, Erenier repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
— For trusting me.
Was it my misunderstanding that the voice of the last horse felt watery?
For some reason, her words are determined and lonely.
I didn’t want to throw blunt words there, so Roan spoke as if he was reading.
“Take care of your body and come back healthy.”
— Don’t worry♡ You will definitely win…
— Eleanor What is this bitch messing around with!
A small cry from afar made Erenia shut her mouth as if she had stopped working.
It was a very small sound, so it was soon drowned out by the noise of the barracks.
However, it was clearly heard in Roan’s ears.
There must be only one person who can call Evirgio’s strongest archmage a bitch.
Her father. Southern Dark Lord.
Dark Duke.
The strongman of Evirgio who succeeded Roan.
Are you not on good terms with her father?
— I have to go. I will definitely win
“Hmm.”
— Uuuuung, Ro, Roan, Sa, Sa, I love you♡
Roan’s eyes widened.
Confession of love through upbringing!
The answer was a little delayed due to emotion.
“… Yes, Eleanor. Thank you.”
The communication ended with the sound of kissing the crystal ball. However, the voice of the archduke he heard at the end remained strong in Roan’s mind.
What Roan knows about the Dark Prince is as much as he knows about the other three Highlords.
The strongest next to Roan, a friendly, meticulous and sensitive swordsman.
However, among those who have risen to the rank of lord, are there any who do not?
His words, overheard by telecommunications, were short but suggestive of a lot.
“No matter what, to the daughter who will become queen…”
Even if you are an aristocrat who thinks of your family as a tool for business, a queen is the highest position a woman can enjoy. Besides, Elenir is a great mage.
Is there anything more you can ask of your daughter?
“Oh…”
By any chance, are you constantly getting beaten up because you haven’t been married or don’t have children?
There is a good chance of that.
Rather, it is a cliché that appears countless times in dramas and novels because it is so obvious.
In the end, I, the Demon King, are the bad guys again.
“Big…”
Roan swallowed the innocent tears.
Still, a thought pops up in a corner.
Well, if you get married and get pregnant,
Maybe it’ll get better?
“… Hmm.”
Ron’s expression softened slightly.
Her expression, which had been hardened for several days since the quest clock appeared, melted a little at the vague imagination.
I already admired Eleanor’s body once.
A different charm from Grünent.
Breasts that are about to explode, and thighs that are about to burst, exuding the atmosphere of a mature woman.
If you wrap it deep and everywhere.
Hmm.
With what voice does she cry?
“Your majesty.”
At the sudden voice of the secretary, Roan opened his eyes as if waking from a dream.
“Hmm.”
There was no sign of shaking in Roan’s voice.
“They said they saw it at the small meeting and were ready.”
“I get it.”
It’s a story about the supplies I heard last time.
Just after talking with the king of Arteala, Aranya spoke.
— Basically, the lords are supposed to provide for food and supplies.
That being said, it was decided to supply additional food to the front in the name of the state-owned commercial association that was to be launched today.
Food is provided to them, and the lords buy it at a low price and supply it to the soldiers.
It’s more expensive than lords’ capture, but definitely cheaper than wheat bought from the market.
Because it is a war sponsored by the state, it does not leave any profit.
Now you have plenty to eat, but what else?
The answer to the question lightly thrown to Aranya while wrapping up the story yesterday was a bit shocking.
“If it’s a hat, should I loot it?”
Roan was silent for a moment, then he took a moment to find the words to say.
“Right. But are human necessities well suited to soldiers?”
Goblins, Orcs, Vampires, and Kobolds might not be able to do this, but Ogres, Gnolls, and Minotaurs would be impossible.
Arachne, like Aranya, isn’t even a humanoid, so it’s completely outside the standard.
From a spoon to shoes (of course, Aranya doesn’t wear shoes), to bedding, they are incompatible with humans. Of course, clothing is impossible.
And to Roan’s question, Aranya tilted her head and answered.
“I don’t think it matters, Your Majesty. It’s going to be stolen from within the same Demon Army anyway.”
Aha.
Each one’s life.
Everyone who is steamed is also alive.
‘Why did you sit down with your understanding!’
In shock, I almost agreed without realizing it.
“… Lord. I say it’s enough… , Didn’t you?”
Roan managed to pace himself so as not to appear too shocked.
“It’s right that the lord fills the gap. Soldiers of the general combat unit do not plunder, but there is a separate class that protects supplies from those who plunder within the same Demon Army.”
Wow. It’s unnecessarily systematic.
‘There must have been a reason for the lengthy war.’
In fact, no matter how you think about it, it was a strange calculation.
What if we fight as goblins vs humans?
Demons are slightly different from monsters in RPGs. With a size and intelligence close to that of a human, even goblins cannot be underestimated.
It is safe to say that he is a ‘human’ in the form of a goblin.
Therefore, unless you are a trained human, you cannot win. That training cannot happen overnight.
Most of Merde’s soldiers were conscripted from everyday life, such as farmers and carpenters.
No matter how great Merde is, it would be difficult for her professional soldiers to exceed tens of thousands. Hundreds of thousands of standing troops is a number that is difficult to maintain even in a modern country that has been in a state of war for decades like the two Koreas. That’s why they don’t even pay their wages properly, and they’re being pampered.
So in the end, Merde’s army is not much stronger than Evirgio’s demons.
[They are great.]
Unknowingly nervous, Roan’s hand squeezed the hilt of the sword, and Fiora threw a word.
A little nervous Sohoe stares at Roan, but he doesn’t think that the sword will be drawn anymore, so he just looks at Roan.
She can’t answer Fiora, but her sarcasm in her voice is the same as Roan’s.
One-on-one with large demons like orcs and kobolds?
The odds of humans winning are even slimmer.
What if it comes or trolls step out?
It would take ten humans to rush in to knock one down. Or an elite knight-level officer should come.
However, ogres and trolls are common in Evirzio.
However, even with such overwhelming power, the war has been going on for several years.
[The looting class. It’s beyond imagination. It is also an ally.]
No matter what she says, her throat doesn’t run away, so she doesn’t hold back in her words.
She did what Roan couldn’t bear to say.
Okay. The closer I looked into the lives of the demons, the more I couldn’t understand.
It is said that they are less intelligent than humans, but that is limited to some races, and they do not behave ignorantly like monsters in regular games.
There are even races with more experience than humans. They are races such as vampires and banshee who live long lives because they are mixed with the blood of the undead.
So, in the end, the averages are the same.
Perhaps, it is reasonable to see that this evaluation is more related to the demonic culture, which despises sedentary jobs with brains on.
Why couldn’t the demons subdue the humans?
Because they couldn’t unite.
As the silence grew longer, the chancellor cautiously spoke to the emperor.
“… Your majesty?”
The treasurer and corrections officer looked at each other.
Slowly, they started noticing.
When the Emperor’s silence is prolonged, a task bomb will drop along with new ideas.
It’s a glorious thing, but it takes effort.
“Treasurer.”
The reply from Lee Ron, who was looking at the correctional officer with a look, ‘Are we ruined?’, Was a beat late.
He was the one who stayed up all night for the launch of GDI Corporation today. At least it’s a skeleton, so the fatigue will be less. Baron Grave, a human, has been stretched out a long time ago.
“… Yes, Your Majesty.”
“We, don’t we have enough finances?”
“Of course, Your Majesty.”
Suddenly, Lilon’s voice turned bright.
As the treasurer, the fact that the king has sufficient finances is an indicator that his performance is excellent.
No matter how brilliantly the emperor filled the barn, it would not have been filled if he had not efficiently managed outgoing consumption.
Lyon said proudly.
“We saved money by buying wheat last time. Because we received more expensive glass than we expected.”
Leron did not lose to Baron Grave, who was trying to hit the price of glass, and raised the price of glass.
In the battle between the two old money ghosts, the theory won. After all, Arteala was more desperate.
Good glass is more valuable than wheat.
“Besides, tomorrow when Sanghoe starts selling wheat, more money will come in. Abundant. Your majesty.”
There are not enough seats even after filling the capital warehouse, so the capital warehouse and port warehouse are still full of remaining wheat.
Dozens of ships brought wheat, and all profits from selling the wheat belonged to the state-run trade association.
Thinking of the future income, the treasurer felt himself exhilarated involuntarily.
I was happy until the emperor opened his mouth.
“Then, I guess we can get supplies with it.”
“… Yes?”
The treasurer asked with a puzzled face, and the knight commander and corrections officer gave a small smile.
Only the prime minister took a second glance at the two children-like appearances and tried to dissuade the emperor.
“Your Majesty, the lords will fill it anyway.”
“War is fought by soldiers.”
However, the Emperor’s thoughts could not be changed.
“To plunder an ally. In war, group strength is more important than anything else. Even if it is a world where the strongest man takes everything.”
Roan’s eyes were colder than before.
“So, time has passed in vain.”
At the words of the master, who contained cold energy, Sohoei lost his words as if he was covered with cold water.
“Okay. Who would you blame I was ignorant. I do not mean to condemn.”
Roan’s sincere words were delivered as an ‘appeal’. The four nobles, who were suddenly worried, felt the sincerity of Roan’s words and were relieved.
Aranya carefully spoke her words.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. God is mad…”
“No”
“Whatever Your Majesty commands, I will do so.”
They too want to hear me.
Then you can change one by one.
Just like it used to be
If you’re on my side, that’s enough.
Roan nodded his head.
“Then, first.”
[Wow, the evil boss! ‘First of all’ means that I will throw one bomb in a row in the future! Yes, crazy demons need to be beaten with work!]
Roan almost laughed at Fiora’s sarcasm.
There is nothing to say that it is true from start to finish.
“We will talk about supply ships and distribution methods again tomorrow. Merde’s granary attack, starting from Hazark, will definitely succeed. Keep that in mind.”
The four voices rang as one.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
