Black Beast Lord, start by capturing the Dark Elf Knight alive

"Eh? May I ask why you made such a judgment?"

Miss Demon was startled, then her eyes showed disbelief, and she asked in a very puzzled tone. It can be seen that she was a little unconvinced at the moment, after all, this was a plan she had prepared for more than a hundred years.

"Huh, your approach is undoubtedly a good thing for civilians, but it is a bad thing for the vested interests of the war. Whether it is the development of commerce or agriculture, it will have a great impact on the human world. Are you sure that the demons you lead will listen to you?"

"When a superior wants to do something, the most difficult thing is not making a decision, but ensuring that the superiors follow suit." Iwanaga Kotoko narrowed her eyes, and there was a hint of indifference in her only remaining eye. When Odis saw this indifference, he immediately understood that the other party had entered the God of Wisdom mode.

"I guess you are planning to cooperate with the hero you mentioned, and then find the human upper class and use the hero's reputation to carry out reforms, right?"

Faced with this question, the demon king nodded. She didn't need to refute, nor did she need to refute. Because she really thought so. She planned to reform agriculture first, changing the original three-round planting to four-round planting, and increase the output of agriculture and agricultural and sideline products.

"You can come up with such an idea. I can see that you are a very smart and knowledgeable person. However, please remember that imagination can never compare with reality. I guess you must have never been in power. The difficulty of governance lies in the fact that it is difficult to implement it. No matter how good the policy is, it is completely useless if there is a problem with the people who implement it."

"Do you have an intelligence organization that can monitor your subordinates? Do you think that human officials and your demon subordinates can avoid corruption and bullying? What's more, you have no power."

"I can only say that your idea is good, but you lack experience. You should have been studying all the time, and your understanding of the outside world depends entirely on the lantern you mentioned, right?"

Iwanaga Kotoko's words were merciless. Idealists always have good ideas, but when they are implemented, they always encounter many difficulties. How many reformers throughout history have had a good ending? Those who are lucky succeed, but those who are unlucky die on the spot and their policies are overturned.

Hearing this, the demon king fell silent, her faith began to waver, and almost in an instant, her healthy and rosy face turned pale. This was an extremely serious blow to her faith, and Odis couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back. This girl named Iwanaga Kotoko was really cruel.

"But you don't have to be like this. You just don't have experience. Now, isn't there an opportunity for you to try?"

Otis knew that he could not let Iwanaga Kotoko continue to attack the big demon sister. He felt that the little girl said this to her most likely because she was jealous that she was so much older than her.

Volume 1: The King of the North: Chapter 14 So, ladies, welcome to my territory!

"A chance to try?"

Miss Demon King looked at the two people in front of her with a little confusion. She was not stupid, otherwise she would not have almost lost her faith because of what Iwanaga Kotoko said just now. It was because she was smart that she knew that Iwanaga Kotoko was not lying.

"Yes, Mr. Odis is the lord of this continent of Ostia. His territory is still in a stage that needs to be developed. Now he needs a talent like you to help him manage the territory."

Because they decided to temporarily join the other side's camp, Iwanaga Kotoko directly started to help with recruitment. Although she had no system, she could tell from the other side's plan and the conversation between the two that this Demon Lady was an extremely knowledgeable person.

"Well, Miss Demon King, my territory needs people like you. You can choose an area in my territory to conduct the experiment you have in mind."

Odis opened his mouth and talked about the situation of his territory. His biggest advantage was that he started from scratch, there was no dispute over the territory, and he had full autonomy. After all, his current city was also snatched from the orcs.

In the past, this place was actually considered the territory of the human kingdom, but they were unable to defeat the monsters at that time, so they had to give up.

"But, but if this is the case, wouldn't it be bad for the civilians under Mr. Odis? I might make a mistake."

The Demon King was obviously persuaded, but her huge conscience made her feel a little embarrassed. Although the other person was not from her world, she was not willing to use him as a trial and error object.

"No, I think Miss Demon King's plan is very good. My current territory lacks such a plan, so please help me create a peaceful and harmonious country together, Miss Demon King."

Although Odis is still a knight in name only, the area of ​​land he has conquered can already be considered a kingdom. If he can truly defeat the Black Queen in the future, the area he rules will be almost equal to an empire. (The size of a kingdom refers to the size of Shu in the Three Kingdoms, and the size of an empire refers to the entire territory of the Han Dynasty.)

"I, I hope that after I have accumulated enough experience, you can let me return to my hometown."

Miss Demon King had only one condition. Her biggest dream was to end the war between humans and demons and restore peace to her world. Odis nodded and signed a contract with Miss Demon King.

"Ms. Demon King, I think you should give yourself a real name instead of code names like Demon King and Ruby Eyes. I think that coming to a new world should be a new beginning, right?"

After the contract was successfully signed, Odis looked at the elder sister and said, "He couldn't keep calling her Miss Demon King. The Demon King in their world was still alive."

"Ah, I..." The Demon King was silent for a moment. She also knew that the reputation of the demons was not very good, not to mention the Demon King. And what the other party said made sense. When you arrive in a completely new environment, you should have a new beginning.

"Please call me Funayi (transliteration of Hongyu) from now on."

"Funayi, what a nice name. Well, ladies, welcome to my territory!"

As Odis led the two people to the door of the tavern, Kashena, the incarnation of the old black snake, had a little more spirit in her eyes. However, it was only for a moment, and then disappeared.

When the three of them appeared again, they were already in Odis's office. Facing a brand new world, both Iwanaga Kotoko and the Demon Queen who had changed her name to Funai had curiosity and vigilance in their eyes.

"Would you like something to drink, ladies?"

Odis reached out and pressed the bell on the desk. This was his butler's bell, but it was obvious that his butler was not a male. To be precise, she should be called the head maid.

Of course, his maid Luka was not available now, after all, he had just sent someone out, and Luka was not a ninja, so she could not clone herself. So, it was his lovely twin maids, Ram and Rem, who came over.

"Lord Odis, may I ask for your help?"

The room where the two little maids were located was not far from him. Because they were personal maids, they needed to be ready to serve Odis at any time, well, serve in every sense of the word. After all, everyone knew Odis's physical condition.

"Ram, these two are my guests. Arrange a place for them to stay first, and make all arrangements according to Amber's specifications. Rem, send someone to Saizeriya Restaurant and ask them to prepare a banquet according to the highest standards."

Ram and Rem did not ask why there were two more women in Odis's room, and judging from their dress, they did not look like people from this world. After all, they were recruited by Odis, so they knew clearly what kind of abilities Odis had.

After Odis instructed the two maids, he turned around and took out a few documents from the drawer of his desk. Although this world is also a world of swords and magic, it does not have those storage equipment.

Odis asked Little Melu about this, but even the Commercial United Kingdom couldn't get that kind of high-end goods. Currently, there are only three storage equipments in this world, which are in the hands of the Black Queen, the Elf Queen, and the Archbishop of the Holy Empire.

According to legend, these should be considered gifts from God.

"Ms. Kotoko, Ms. Funai, let's go to the conference room."

As a time traveler, Odis naturally had to make some preparations that a time traveler should make. He was born as a pioneer knight, so most of the things in his territory were actually related to war. But the internal affairs were not so good. Although the taxes were light, the population and agriculture were still a big problem.

It's not like he hasn't thought about getting involved in internal affairs himself, but unfortunately he has never farmed before. Even if he has read some related things, he has basically forgotten them.

Iwanaga Kotoko and Funayi naturally had no intention of objecting. They had just arrived and didn't know anything, so they followed Odis and walked outside. Odis's city lord's mansion was actually renovated later. He was very poor now, and the territory was in ruins, so he didn't spend a lot of money, but just hired someone to clean it up.

Therefore, even now, we can still see traces of the monster coalition defeating the Seven Shield Alliance. These two women are smart and interested in everything around them. Iwanaga Kotoko is even more interested in everything, looking around and touching everything, and she can't stop at all.

Odis even thought that if one of her legs wasn't lame, she would probably be able to climb up and down.

Volume 1: King of the North: Chapter 15 Anyway, someone will buy the mining card.

The meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion was not far from the study. Odis and the two girls walked for about five minutes and arrived at the door of the meeting room. In the rectangular room, there was a huge conference table hanging.

Unlike a normal conference table, there is a huge sand table in the center of the conference table in the room. Well, it is just a round plate made of sand, but the sand inside is shining with a hazy glow.

After Odis entered the room, he raised his hand and shot out a beam of magic power, lighting up the magic lamp in the room. This thing is the black technology of this world. Although the magic civilization and technological civilization are different, most of the creations are still very similar.

"This is the meeting room of the territory. I will first introduce the situation of my territory to you two, and then I will take you two for a walk in this Liyue City and introduce you to my main city."

Odis said, inviting the two to take a seat. However, he did not sit down, but raised his hand and pressed it on the table. As a stream of fiery red magic flowed into the magic crystal on the table, the sand table in the center instantly lit up, and a miniature version of the Ostia continent appeared on it.

The Demon King was fine with this scene, but Iwanaga Kotoko stood up excitedly and said to Odis: "Is this magic? It's like a holographic projection, can it be enlarged? It would be even more amazing if it can be enlarged and reduced."

"Yes, there are many countries on this continent, including the dwarf kingdom of Haflin, which occupies the mountains and gold mines."

"Eregion, the elven kingdom with its everlasting forests."

"Aurea, the holy kingdom blessed by the gods."

"Edonia, a kingdom in the desert."

"Durotar, the orc kingdom that occupies the grasslands."

"The magical kingdom of Chimea, where people live on top of a tower. Even though it only has one city, it is still called a kingdom."

"The commercial city of the United Nations Tiurr, located in the center of the continent."

"The human empire of Eos that occupies the southern part of the continent."

"And the island nation of Himiko located in the sea."

"Because of the appearance of magic beasts and monsters in the north, the Elf Kingdom, Dwarf Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Commercial United Kingdom, Holy Human Kingdom, Sea Kingdom, and Human Empire formed an alliance and built seven fortresses at this location."

"And these seven fortresses are called the Seven Shield Fortresses by the world because of the covenant!"

As Odis spoke, he continued to control his magic power, making the named country temporarily light up, so that the two could confirm the location. Finally, the light fell on the northwest of the continent, where there was a small plain.

"This is the area we are currently in, the plains of Eos, but now because it has been occupied by me, it has been renamed the Siwa Ash Territory. And now we are in the city closest to the Seven Shields Fortress, Liyue City."

"Of course, this place was not called Liyue before. It was called Eos City."

"This area is the territory I currently rule. It's the size of three provinces. Well, if you need a reference, it's probably more than twice the size of your country, Kotoko."

After Odis finished speaking, he handed the document in his hand to the two girls and asked them to look at it together. He was not worried about the language problem, mainly because the system was powerful and allowed all the people he recruited to learn the language of this world.

"Take a look at these materials. I hope you can get familiar with this place as soon as possible."

He brought a lot of information, which was the detailed data of the territory that he had sent people to collect, including population, resources, land area, specialties, etc. You have to know that these things can be considered top secret. Once leaked, it can be said that everything in his territory will be open to the world.

Moreover, it also contains details about various forces, as well as the names and personalities of some of his important personnel.

In order to let these two master these things as soon as possible, Odis spent a lot of money. If these things were put in the Thieves Guild, you wouldn't even want to take a look at them without tens of millions of gold coins.

After doing all this, Odis was not in a hurry. He just waited for the two girls to finish looking at the things in their hands.

After nearly two hours, the two girls finally finished reading the thick stack of information. Iwanaga Kotoko and Miss Demon King looked at each other, and Iwanaga Kotoko spoke first.

"Mr. Odis, I think the biggest problem with your territory right now is the serious imbalance in the ratio of military to civilian. You need civilians to fill your territory. Your current population is only over 1.7 million, which is too few for your territory."

"Besides, most of your men are soldiers and mercenaries, and the rest are mostly monsters and slaves. You lack sufficient population."

Iwanaga Kotoko was indeed from the modern era, and she had a very accurate view of the current situation of Odis's territory. Population had always been Odis's concern, and most of the people under his command were slaves he freed after conquering this place. Most importantly, most of them were women, and they were all female knights rescued from the goblin's nest.

Although it looks good and can still be used, only those who understand will understand.

Most of the men under his command were soldiers and logistics personnel brought over from the human kingdom. To be precise, they should be called knight squires and grain transporters.

Due to the limitations of the times, there are almost no fully employed soldiers in this world, because they cannot be supported. Even a proper knight needs a village to support him.

The reason why Odis has been able to survive until now is entirely due to the spoils of war and the trade between the two caravans.

"Does Ms. Kotoko have any good suggestions?" Odis naturally knew his shortcomings, so he didn't waste any words and asked directly.

Kotoko Iwanaga adjusted her beret, and a cold light emanated from one of her eyes. Well, her other eye was a fake, so only one eye was lively.

"I suggest Mr. Odis to buy a large number of slaves. We can even send troops to capture a large number of dark elf slaves and exchange them with the United Kingdom of Commerce!"

"Also, we should try to require that the slaves they transport include young children and young men and women."

This proposal made Odis gasp. It should be said that this girl, who came from a humble background, was really ruthless. It's not that Odis had not considered the slave trade, but he didn't have that much money. He was extremely poor.

However, capturing dark elves and exchanging them for slaves is indeed feasible, but the problem is that most of the dark elves they captured were thrown directly into the army, and the military discipline of those mercenaries is not that good.

Emmm......Why don't you take it back, clean it, and send it over to try? Anyway, there are people who buy mining cards.

Volume 1: King of the North: Chapter 16 I always feel like the big Lolita with white stockings is copying homework.

The proposal of buying slaves gave Odis a new perspective on the moral standards of ordinary people. However, it must be said that the other party's proposal was indeed a good choice for Odis now.

After he conquered this place, he did not directly demote the original slaves into further slavery, but instead asked them to open up wasteland. Those who could open up a hundred acres of arable land would become civilians.

Combined with some work-for-relief measures, the infrastructure construction here is quite fast.

You can't just treat slaves too well. The principle of gratitude is written in the book. Besides, Odis is now the ruling class, the vested interests. It's okay to improve the treatment of slaves and give them a promotion channel, but if you really liberate slaves on a large scale, 80% of them will become the public enemy of the mainland.

As for exchanging slaves for slaves, this is a good idea. The dark elves have absolutely no human rights in this world of Collapsing. In human countries and the elves and dwarves, they are basically on the same status as Warcraft. To put it bluntly, they are not even as good as slaves.

Apart from being good-looking and being able to be a RBQ, it has absolutely no value.

Even though Odis is a time traveler, he cannot change the universal values. This world has basically the same attitude towards monsters and dark elves. Of course, it is also okay to say that it is politically correct, which is to kill them. Of course, the dark elves can be spared, but they must also have a tattoo branded on their lower abdomen and wear a slave collar.

"Well, I can think about it. I'll give you the quotes for various items and a report of our current assets later."

Odis knew very well that as a god of wisdom walking in the world, Iwanaga Kotoko could do almost anything well if she wanted to, so he was unwilling to waste Iwanaga Kotoko's qualifications.

Of course, there is a gap between the gods of wisdom. Iwanaga Kotoko can achieve that, but Odis has to wait and see.

"Miss Kotoko, do you have any other suggestions?"

"Yes, after buying the slaves, we need to let some soldiers return to the fields, or set up military settlements! In order to increase population growth. If we don't do it now, there will be no future." Iwanaga Kotoko continued in a cold tone: "Then we will implement a planned economy for the territory, unify materials, purchase with tickets, and integrate resources for development."

What Iwanaga Kotoko was talking about now was all what she had seen in books and on TV. The planned economy and purchasing by coupons were exactly the path that the country across the ocean had taken. She had great respect for that great country next door.

Even if the big country next door in the surface world had once fallen into decline, in the inner world, it had always been the father and nothing had ever changed.

On the contrary, after the reconstruction of the State of Li, a great being spoke with the will of heaven and ordered the destiny of the country to sweep away all monsters and demons, causing many monster-like beings to run out of that country.

Even when she stood on the seashore and looked across, she could see the pattern of the sickle and hammer on the same flag.

After listening to it, Odis felt that it was a bit familiar. Slave trade, capital accumulation, and then integration of resources. Was it going to be reform and opening up later? I felt that the white silk loli in front of me was copying homework.

"However, it is still too early to say this. I need to get a deeper understanding of your territory. Miss Funai also has the same idea. She plans to go outside to see your geological structure and minerals, and study the crops, plants and animals in this world."

At this point, Odis finally felt relieved about whether these two could help him govern the country. At least they were not just talkers, but people who really wanted to do practical things. He was also worried at first that he was dealing with two show-offs, but now it seems that they are indeed talented.

The difficulties of governance are firstly to set an example for others, secondly to be sincere in doing the work, and thirdly to understand people's livelihood. If any one of these three is not achieved, good governance may turn into bad governance. The kind of talkative people who have no real plan in mind are not uncommon in history.

"Well, that's it for now. I think it's getting late. Please come with me to the restaurant for dinner."

Odis had a plan in mind, so he planned to have a meal first, and then send someone to take the two around his territory. He had a lot of things to deal with now, and he had to let the two grow up and adapt to this world as soon as possible.

The endless internal affairs he had to deal with every day had already given him a headache. Fortunately, Iwanaga Kotoko had finally arrived. Once she was familiar with everything, some of the less difficult matters in the territory could be handed over to her.
