The Betrayed Devil No Longer Hides His Power

35 – The Beginning of Destruction 13

A truly unexpected report left me speechless for a moment.

In the process of occupying Sagunto and Kanna Castle, I was prepared to some extent.

If things went this far, the Empire would surely launch a counterattack.

Warrior Party… Or there will be action corresponding to it,

Then, unlike in the past, we would start a full-scale war.

Appearance of true enemies who do not think about defeat, but do not let your guard down.

In response to this, I made a plan and prepared myself, but

The news I heard right now is,

It was not an attack on the demons, but a story about free races who started a war among themselves.

“No… I’ve made it this far, but you’re turning the tip of the sword that way?”

“I don’t understand either. No matter how ugly and dirty they are, their brains aren’t this bad… “

Although I had devised a ploy to separate Kirks and the Emperor, it was only at the level of temporary paralysis that I expected.

The depth of the ruse is not deep, and if you check it with a little care, it is inevitable that it will be caught soon.

It was too much of a jump to relate to the war between the Empire and the Holy Kingdom this time.

“Isn’t this a trap? It might be a dirty trick to catch our demons. They have nothing but dirty tricks in their heads.”

Fenrir is the first to cast doubt on what he has suffered so far.

Actually, there was truth in what she said.

There are many ways to deceive the enemy, and among them, there were not a few cases of using a kind of high school system disguised as infighting.

The problem was that the scale was too large to be seen as such a simple trap.

– “According to the news, the Imperial Army has already crossed the border and destroyed Argos, the city of the Holy Kingdom. They said that all the elves there died or were taken as slaves.”

“Is that true?”

“That… No matter how it is, it was the same alliance, but how could it be so… “

– “It’s true. There is no doubt that this is the information Crassus-sama found out using the remaining contacts.”

Crassus still with kirks and some strings left.

Although he had no choice but to save himself as much as possible as he became undead now, he was still able to read basic information through indirect means such as writing letters.

Of course, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to find out more detailed information here, as it’s impossible to be too sure.

And at this moment,

I was in a situation where I had a useful piece of chess related to this.

“Okay then, let’s stop sleeping for today.”

“Yes, saintess.”

“Good night.”

A group of children bowing their heads toward the saintess.

Looking at them, where humans and demons are evenly mixed,

Saint Frieder showed a warm smile on her lips.

The children who were able to be saved according to the contract with the devil,

And, the demons who lost their parents in the last war.

Taking care of them equally without discrimination, Frieder was once again dreaming of her ideals in her heart.

The image of harmony that the demon king insisted on in the past.

It is a utopia in which all races become one and harmonize equally without discrimination.

Feeling deeply rewarded at the fact that he was growing the seeds with his own hands, Freether headed to his lodgings with a tired body today.

Then.

“Ah! Demon King!”

The figure of the man began to appear in her eyes.

As always, seeing him standing in front of the inn accompanied by a dancer, a deep smile began to grow on Freeza’s lips.

*

“My… You mean the empire?”

“Yes. I’m still not entirely sure, but… It is highly probable that this is true.”

The news of the empire’s invasion of Seonghwangguk from the mouth of the devil.

However, upon hearing this, Frieza was surprisingly calm.

“… In the end, this is how it works out.”

“… Did you know?”

“…”

Freeza slowly shook his head at the Demon King’s question.

However, in this regard, she spoke in a calm voice.

“I wasn’t sure. However, there were only indications about it. Even so, I never thought it would move this fast. Because less than a year has passed since the war with the Demon Kingdom ended.”

“Well… Even if the war on which the country’s national fortune is over is over, going to war again after a year… I wouldn’t have done it for a while.”

“If so, why? The national power has not yet been restored, but why did the utopia empire do such a reckless thing… “

“There are several reasons… Maybe that in itself is the reason. It is true that the state of the empire is not good, but it is also true that the national power of the Holy Kingdom is not intact.”

“Well… You can see that the one with the upper hand in the weight class is more advantageous in that the other person is as tired as I am.”

“There… It’s a presumptuous story, but recently, the Pope of the Holy Land has not been very pleased with the emperor’s actions. Just like me, he didn’t like the atrocities of the Utopian Empire.”

“… Are you talking about the things we did to the demons?”

“Yes. In addition, the emperor’s arrogant attitude after winning the war must have played a part. His Holiness the Exchange has already warned you several times about how you repeatedly ignore revelations from God.”

“Ummm… “

Frieza is telling an unexpectedly interesting story.

It was definitely a world 5 minutes before the opening, but in the original work, the existence of the Pope and God showed a little normal appearance.

Trying hard to save people,

Those who tried to keep the right way somehow.

In the end, they couldn’t stop the world from ruin and were destroyed together, but at least there was room for sympathy in the field where they played the original game.

Of course, that’s why I had no intention of letting go of those who worked hand in hand with the emperor and dominated our demons.

“Anyway… At least it seems to be true that they started fighting really hard.”

“I guess so. The question is, how should we move in this situation… “

Two countries that are exhausting their national power by beating each other.

At times like this, I knew that just keeping quiet and watching quietly was not a bad option.

A clumsy attack could rather act as a pivot and bring the divided people back together.

In that case, taking a step back and eating popcorn is a way to comfortably benefit from it.

But…

This is just a way to pursue profits with minimal risk.

In this situation, I began to think about how to pursue the maximum benefit.

Then…

“… ?”

The saintess Frieza suddenly came into my eyes.

Looking at her face, I began to think for a moment.

*

The Demon King is staring at himself without saying anything.

Frieza felt that a corner of her heart was pounding without realizing it.

“Why… Why? Devil… sir?”

“Ummm… “

Looking at it objectively, the appearance of a pretty handsome devil.

In addition, she feels guilty to the demon lord for what happened so far…

Furthermore, he had respect and awe for her.

Even something more than that.

The fact that such a person is looking at you,

It made Frieza feel useless feelings of excitement and anticipation.

Then.

“… Hmm… That’s quite… Is it a good method?”

“… ?”

A demon king who talks about something with a serious face.

Then, slowly, as it were, she came closer to Frieza.

“… Gulp… “

And.

“Frieza.”

“Yes? Radish… what… Are you at work?”

The Demon King calling her name.

Thinking that the sound was unusually sweet, Frieza felt something like anticipation for what was to be said next.

And,

The story that came to her ears was…

“… !”

“Sleep… mind… Demon King? Anyway, isn’t that too risky? Rather I… “

“How is it? Can you do it?”

The demon king interrupts Hella’s words and speaks resolutely.

After thinking about it for a while, Freeza answered carefully.

“… Yes, it is possible… Seems to do Even though she is now entrusted to the Demon King, the girl is still externally a saint of the Holy Kingdom of Elves. It won’t be a problem in itself to proceed with what you said.”

“That’s great.

A demon king who speaks with a smile on his lips.

However, Frieza looked hesitant for a moment and asked.

“But… Are you really okay? I know what the devil wants, but I also think it’s too dangerous. As Hella said, it would be better to send someone else… “

“That’s why I have to go.”

“!”

“Demon… Maou.”

“As I said before, all of these incidents are fundamentally my responsibility. As the monarch of a country, I have no intention of handing it over to someone else, and I have no intention of sacrificing anyone in the process.”

“Kuh… “

The Demon King who talks about responsibilities.

In his will, which contains a will that is in the realm that they cannot touch,

Frieza and Hella couldn’t refute this anymore.

“In addition, I am not going there alone. Freeza, no one else, you will always be by my side, so there is no need to worry too much.”

“!… Ah… “

At the words of the Demon King, Freeza realizes an important fact in an instant.

At the same time, she began to feel that her hesitations in her own mind completely disappeared…

“Kup! I’ll go too! Please let me go, Maou-nim!”

Conversely, Hella, who was listening to her story, began to work hard to defeat the devil’s will with her sincerity.
