Lord Ostia, start by capturing the Dark Elf Knight alive

The result was that the demons were defeated by him and suffered a miserable defeat.

As the 43rd demon king who commands the demon world, she must consider the people of the demon world. If she can't win, she won't fight head-on. Unlike other demon kings of the fighting faction, she was born in the legendary "Outside Library" and grew up there, thus gaining a lot of advanced knowledge.

Therefore, although she did not go out, she learned a lot of things through magic. With more insights, she could use her knowledge of economics to explain and analyze the war.

Finally, she came to a conclusion, that is, the reason why the war continued was not because of the deep hatred between the two sides, but because of insufficient resources. Simply put, if you don't rob, you can't get enough food. The land in the demon world is barren, and the average person has a big appetite, so there is simply not enough food. If you don't go out to occupy land or use war to consume the population, you have to exterminate the whole clan.

As for humans...war has become something that many countries rely on for survival. Once the war is over, it means the demise of some countries.

Therefore, neither the demons nor humans want the war to end, which is the reason why the war between the human and demon worlds continues.

Fortunately, she found a way to develop agriculture. If it can be promoted, it may end the war. But just when she was planning to lure the hero to the Demon King's Castle alone to kill her and take the opportunity to meet with him alone for negotiation, she received an invitation to this tavern.

This place gave her a new idea. She thought she could come here to take a look, mainly because she heard that there was magic here that could promote the growth of plants. This kind of magic did not exist in their world. There was more magic used for destruction and killing.

In her opinion, potatoes can solve quite a few problems. After all, they are a very important survival resource.

After listening to the Demon Lady's story, Odis pulled out a chair and sat opposite the Demon Lady, tapping the table with one hand, making a "da-da-da" sound. The other party gave him the feeling of a time traveler, but it was obvious that he was not.

"So, Miss Demon King, you plan to join forces with that hero to improve productivity and develop business, so as to bring peace to the world, right?"

Before Odis could speak, Iwanaga Kotoko, who was walking with him, sighed first, looked at Miss Demon King in front of her and said, "Although Miss Demon King, your idea is very good, I don't think you can succeed. The reason is very simple, interests and human nature."

"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.

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.

Chapter 15: Anyway, there are people who buy mining cards

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.

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.
