I don't know how long it has been.,Haruka's consciousness is somewhat blurred.,Although it's still surrounded by pitch black.,But I can vaguely hear the sound of conversation outside.。 Sicily also seemed to show up, and was explaining something to them.

"Knock-" Light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he squinted his eyes and vaguely saw a figure standing in front of him.

"Yo, it looks like you've been miserable by them. I saw that Xicili was holding the huge wooden barrel that had covered Haruka before, and was smiling at herself.

"It's not all because of you!!" Haruka looked at the culprit in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed. He was surrounded by strange creatures, but sticky, slippery, unidentified creatures that had probably caused the strange touch before.

"Don't worry, I've explained to them that I spent the night with you the night before to meet the God of Destruction, and now the misunderstanding should be cleared up. "But I haven't told them about you putting your arms around me all night and burying your head on my breast." She leaned into Haruka's ear and murmured softly.

“。。。。。。 Haruka heard the threat in her tone, and couldn't help but stop.

"Come on, dig out Your Majesty!" Belia shouted loudly, and soon the knights gathered from all sides began to dig around Haruka with shovels and other tools, and the scene looked absurd and funny.

And Iska and Gardia on the side, they still don't seem to be relieved, but in the presence of Sicily and Belia, they can't be too attacked.

—————— Dividing Line——————

When Haruka finally cleaned the dirt and slime off his head and went back to the camp, the girls seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time. In addition to Isca, Gardia, Sicilia, and Belea, Eleanor has also arrived.

"Now that His Majesty the Demon King of the North has arrived, we can also begin formal discussions about the war with Hibbert. Eleanor spoke, and all eyes were on her.

"Before I do that, let me report to Your Majesty on the situation of the troops of the Northern Country. Belia chimed in.

"Please, that's what we need to convey to you. ”

"Your Majesty, the Oni army led by Sylander has joined the Orc army led by Savaga near the border between the East and North Kingdoms, and it is estimated that there will be a mixed army of about 200,000 people. Now waiting for your fate. ”

"Two hundred thousand people ... There are so many people gathered?!" Haruka was obviously a little surprised by such a number.

"After you unified the entire northern kingdom, Savaga and Sylander were incorporated in the northern kingdom, and a large number of local lords' private mercenaries were also recruited into the demon king's army, and now all the cities and military of the northern kingdom are under your rule. ”

"I see, that's really hard work for you. "I didn't expect that during the time when I and Angelia sneaked into the West Country, Belia and them did a lot of things, which made Haruka feel a little emotional.

"Now that the army of the North Country has been assembled, I will also introduce the deployment of our troops in the East Country. Eleanor cleared her throat as she used illusion magic to project a rough map of the entire Demon Realm on the whiteboard in the center of the tent.

"Everyone, please see. She reached out and drew a circle in the middle of the map. "As a border area with the country of the south, the defenders of the country were all sent here from the moment His Majesty declared war with Hibbert, and there were about 400,000 troops. ”

"400,000 ... Haruka smacked his mouth softly.

"According to our spying on other countries over the years, as the oldest Demon King of the South, he has a small army, only about 100,000 people. Eleanor said as a large number of dark red dots of light appeared in the area of Minami on the map, representing the layout of Minami's forces. Compared to the forces of the East and North Kingdoms, the number is significantly smaller.

"Is it 100,000 people? Is it really because the country of the south is ruled by the blood clan?"

"What's wrong with the Bloodline?" asked Iskar casually as he didn't know much about the Demons.

"The blood clan is the longest-lived race except for the witch race, they can delay their aging by sucking the blood of young lives, and they can manipulate the blood to create dependents who will always be loyal to them, but they have such an advantage but they have a very fatal point, that is, the reproduction ability of the race is very low, and the scale of their race has never been able to expand in the history of the demon world, although there is also common sense that they have been looking for a combination with other races to improve their reproductive ability, but they seem to have failed. ”

"That's why they have so few troops?" Gardia interjected.

"That's right, and a large part of the 100,000 army is not really a blood clan, but is made up of dependents controlled by the blood clan. ”

"In that case, wouldn't our military superiority be very great?" Haruka asked rhetorically.

"It's not that simple. Belia poured cold water on the side. "In addition to the southern kingdom, the de facto western kingdom is now under Hibbert's control. ”

"The Land of the West, without Fardi, what else can they provide?"

"Have you forgotten the puppets we fought before?" reminded Sicilia on the side.

"Uh... Those puppets are ... ？”

"It was the product of the Battle of the Three Kings that year, it was once a magic weapon developed by Nadal, the Demon King of the West, and it existed underground in the Demon King City of the West for a long time, and it was reactivated and used by Hibbert because of Fardi's invasion of the human world. ”

"Ah, that thing ... Very tricky guy indeed... Iska who had fought them couldn't help but recall the predicament......
