novelThe Demon Lord's Assassin
| ← Ch.52 | Ch.54 → |
Around when Allan was enjoying himself with Erune and Cecil.
An entity is starting to move again in Lachmaheim, the Country of Demons.
In the office of the Demon Lord, Beatrice.
There were there demons inside.
The Demon Lord Beatrice, who very master of this room, the male demon staff that appeared last time,
And another female demon, which is currently taking a nap on the sofa.
"Kukaa, funyuuuuu......"
The name of the woman dozing comfortably on the sofa is Glinnis.
She had long orange twintails on her hair and looked like in her mid-twenties.
However, her most noticeable characteristic are her clothes, which barely covered anything. Compared to a poor underwear, it had such a high degree of exposure that you would even consider if it still qualifies as clothes or not.
She's a good match to Effie terms of lewdness.
Plus, she also had an indecent body as well, not losing to that lewd costume of hers.
Every time she breathes, her rich chest moved up and down.
Originally, these three people should be having a meeting right now......
"Our honorable Demon Lord, is it really okay for Glinnis to be like this?"
"Leave her alone. We can proceed with just you and me"
Beatrice said, ignoring the sleeping woman.
The man, nodding in assent, handed over the documents in his hand to Beatrice.
"The progress of the Military Development?"
She read out the documents, which were the summary of all the logs and preparations of the Demon Forces.
"Yes. I will then explain the situation from here"
"I'm listening"
The staff cleared his throat, then read the documents out loud.
"Cough...... First of all, are the Demons whom we have conscripted. We have accomplished 8, 000 of them"
"Oh, no vacancies? Splendid"
Beatrice went into a good mood from the first report.
She didn't expect that the Demons, who held selfish interests, would gather as planned on their schedule.
She even thought that a number of them would have already ran somewhere without notice.
"This contributes to the fact that our Demon Lord's power is overwhelming"
"Quit with the compliments. We all know it's the hatred of the other races that made them do this far"
Beatrice eluded the man's praise and made a slight analysis.
In fact, it is as what she said. Their remorse for humans, elves and fairies played a big factor in all of this.
Even now, a lot of them are already wishing a war already.
The military spirit of the Demons is basically higher than of other races.
"For the breakdown of our war potential, our main force comprises of the Orc Tribe, with 3, 000 strong"
For comparison, even a barehanded orc is equivalent to about five human soldiers.
Ogres and trolls are even more powerful, as even with their physical strength alone, the elves and spirits would have a hard time dealing with them even with their magics.
And such creatures are included in the 8, 000 attacking troops.
Beatrice thought that if this surprise attack became successful, any country will easily fall victim, no matter how tough they were.
"Hmmm, what about our weapons?"
"That's a bit of a problem. Because there are only few who can produce weapons, we barely have enough to supply the troops......"
"Well, I didn't have expectations from them at the start"
Beatrice said to the man who then looked apologetic.
"On the other hand, are the preparations for the sortie about to end?"
"Due to the training, they are able to march side by side at the bare minimum. It would be blessed for us to have at least one week more"
"then I'll leave it to you. I'll verify this afterwards. You are dismissed"
Beatrice said so, but before that, he took out another piece of document.
"This is......"
After she received it from him, she immediately opened it and read.
Then, her expression turned fierce.
The prince of the Elves has entered the city of Norcheim...... you say"
"Yes, your Majesty. This is a report we received from one of our scouts. I think I should inform you this at the very least"
"...... I see. I understand. Good work"
After that, the man left the room.
After she confirms that the man has left, she looked at another document again.
"Two elves, one a half bred, one fairy and one human. It seems they are really serious in forming an alliance"
All the races other than the Demons are present.
Even Beatrice couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis with this.
That woman with the elven prince...... and here I thought that this Allan and his company will be forced to stay in Norcheim a bit longer.
It was already unexpected to be able to enter this country which didn't treat the other races fairly.
"But bad luck to them as I already anticipated their next move"
From their past movements, their purpose is very clear.
They collected branches of the King Tree in each country, mark it as proof of their alliance, and unite the whole Algarde into one.
"And now, the last King Tree is here"
She stood up, went to the window, and looked down outside.
Beyond that sight is the castle courtyard.
"Those guys won't even think that it's the King Tree at all"
In the middle of the courtyard, there stood a tree.
Unlike the King Trees from other countries, there is no trace of divinity on it, making it seem like an ordinary, lonesome tree.
Nobody took care of it, and it was the result.
While gazing at it, she gained an idea.
For that, she decided to wake up the remaining subordinate sleeping on the sofa.
"How long do you plan on sleeping. ? Glinis!"
Beatrice swung her arm, and sparks scattered in front where Glinis is sleeping.
"Hyaaaaaa!? Hot! It's hot!"
She who had just received a spark from the face jumped quickly, immediately turning around to Beatrice.
"You're awful, Beatrice......... I almost got myself burned!"
"Hmph. An ordinary Demon won't receive a wound from that degree"
"Eeeeeh! Please don't compare me to the likes of Orcs and Ogres! It is a serious affair if my skin is damaged, you know!"
"Still as noisy as ever...... But you heard them all, right?"
Beatrice asked Glinis, who was obviously asleep from earlier.
But this time, Glinis nodded.
"We, the succubi are the dream demons! Even while asleep, all our senses are still active!"
Even though Glinis has no horns nor tail protruding out from her, she is undoubtedly a succubus.
Rather, this is an incredible advantage for her already, as it became easier for her to mix in with other humans.
In fact, the succubi that slipped through the human population are also the ones who collected information on Allan and his company.
Because they also have a passion for squeezing one's semen, they are often going in and out of the Country of Humans.
And Glinis here is the Succubus Tribe's Queen.
Though she tends to be enthusiastic from the outside, this woman had already incapacitated many human males for the rest of their lives.
"If you are listening, then speak early. You will tempt this elf. Understand?"
"Heee, an elf, is it? Though they are certainly good looking, elves are too plain"
Glinis complained with lack of enthusiasm.
"it seems that it is not the case for this one. As a proof, he is surrounded by many women already"
"Is that true? If he is, then I can expect he's also good in the bed, right? I can't wait!"
Glinis did a complete 180 degrees of her mood easily, as if turning a palm over.
At this behavior, Beatrice could only gave a sigh, then continued.
"This guy has the branches of the King Tree of the other countries. I want you to tempt him to take it out, cooperate with the other succubi and take it."
"Yeahyeah~ I get it"
"The branches are worthy of use. Do not break them"
She reminded once again, and the woman nodded.
This time, she asked Beatrice in reverse.
And, after we get the branch, what will I do with this elf?"
"Hmmm...... after that, you are free to do anything you like with him"
Those were the words Glinis had been waiting for.
Upon hearing it, she confirmed it once again, then jumped up and down in joy.
"Is that true? Its true right? No takebacks! I can milk him as much as I like? Yaay!"
Because Glinis made many men impossible to come back, she was is still lying low, not entering human towns for quite a while.
This has frustrated her for a long time, so upon hearing that she will have a target that she could play with as long as she liked, she was happy at the bottom of her heart.
"Then please leave this to Glinis! I'm going out!"
She said with confidence as she jumped out of the room.
"Fuu...... That Elven Country will surely worry about the issues of their successor from now on...... if their country still remains standing till then"
Beatrice said with a smile, and returned to her seat once again.
