Becoming a Demon King from Inuyasha

"Bai Zhi."

"Here we go." Bai Zhi flew up into the sky. "Are you going to capture the Northern Demon Lord's Territory? Demon Lord Guy is dead, and the Demon Lord's Territory is in disarray. We can just send a few people to lead the troops to occupy the territory. This is not a problem. The trouble is the management afterwards."

"There's no rush for this. We can just recruit some people from the Eco-City later. For now, we can adopt a rough management approach."

"I see. After all, this is the Demon King's territory. It's different from the human kingdom. For the time being, the management does not need to be so detailed."

Bai Zhi nodded slightly, and then asked:

"What's the emergency?"

"The Demon King Guy's surprise attack on the capital must have frightened the people there. I brought his head back, and it should be able to calm people down."

"I see. But I don't think the people of the capital are that fragile. After all, those demons were dealt with without causing any trouble."

Although it felt unnecessary, Baizhi still took Guy's head with a look of disgust.

No matter what, this is an achievement that is enough to reassure people.

What's more, this is also needed to deter neighboring countries that want to seize Demon Lord Guy's territory.

This matter also needs to be arranged quickly. The Northern Demon King's territory is too large, so it doesn't matter if the neighbors occupy some corners, but the bulk of it must be taken down.

Of course, Demon King Guy died too quickly and the news had not yet spread, which was also an advantage for our side.

If possible, eating alone is of course the most delicious.

In short, arrange manpower first and occupy the territory bordering other countries first.

As Shiraori left with Guy's head, Karion also made up his mind.

Times have changed and there is no point in continuing to stick to the old ways.

"King Yemen, please allow me to lead the Beast Kingdom of Urassania to join the Kingdom of Elfriden. If possible, I would like to move to Panam City with my family."

Seeing this, Frey was shocked, but she quickly reacted.

The two had originally seen the changes in the times and came to request an alliance, but after arriving, they discovered that the gap in strength between the two sides was too great and they were not qualified to form an alliance at all. It was only natural for them to change their strategy and request the entire clan to join.

"Your Majesty Yemen, I have the same idea."

Ye Men was slightly stunned, but then he quickly reacted.

In the original work, these two gave up their identities as demon kings and joined Milim's army.

Although there are reasons for this, at the end of the day, neither of them has any ambitions.

Times are changing, and these two people probably see new hope here?

"Okay, we are short of people right now, you two came just in time..."

? ?

There are two more territories, but judging from the expressions of these two people, they are not joining with a certain degree of independence, but directly handing over management rights. Why does it feel like the workload has increased all of a sudden?

Why didn't anyone think of this when playing the game? Just create 100,000 Zhuge Liangs and manage the territory in an orderly manner even if it expands very fast.

......

In the Demon Lord's territory bordering the Grancaios Empire in the north, Joan of Arc was leading an army of 80,000 men and advancing cautiously.

According to the report from the scouts, there is a demon army of about 20,000 people stationed in the fortress ahead.

It was originally a fortress carefully built by the human country. After being captured by the Demon King's army, it looked a bit dilapidated due to lack of maintenance and rough management.

But even so, it is still not easy to deal with.

After all, human armies have basically no advantages when facing demons, and can only use numbers and discipline to overcome the numerical difference.

Of course, the casualties in a head-on battle would be too great, which is what she wants to avoid as much as possible.

As he was hesitating, a series of explosions suddenly sounded in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the investigation team leader called suddenly.

After the call was connected, Joan of Arc was stunned while watching the live video being broadcast by the other party.

In the picture, a human army flying the flag of the Kingdom of Elfriden stood in front of the fortress in an orderly manner.

There were dozens of artillery pieces placed in front of the army, and the overwhelming beams of light instantly covered the fortress.

The city wall was destroyed in the blink of an eye. The explosion and flames engulfed all the demons, taking away countless lives in an instant.

Amid the successive explosions, the entire fortress was razed to the ground. The demons, who were extremely powerful individually, could only wail in fear and wait for death to come.

The demons were reduced to charcoal in pieces, and were completely destroyed by the next beam of light, without leaving any trace.

This hellish scene made Joan of Arc's body tremble slightly.

She also watched the live broadcast of the Kingdom of Elfriden a few days ago.

Afterwards, someone was sent to the Kingdom of Hobre to investigate the new weapons.

She actually didn't take it too seriously.

In her view, the new weapons were just substitutes for bows and crossbows.

But who would have thought that the artillery that performed mediocrely during the live broadcast would become so powerful once there were a large number of them.

This is no longer a war, but a massacre.

Now that I think about it, during the live broadcast, probably due to political needs, those more powerful weapons were not introduced.

Watching the broadcast, Joan of Arc had the inexplicable illusion of a wild monkey seeing a civilized person.

When he turned back, he had already urged his horse to rush towards the fortress.

Chapter 176: The Demon King Has No Style Anymore

When we arrived at the fortress on horseback, the shelling had stopped, but the fortress had already been completely destroyed. Only the blood and fire on the ground silently told of what had just happened.

Looking at the scene before her, Jeanne clenched her fists.

Grit your teeth and force yourself not to think too much or to be afraid.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the army of the Kingdom of Elfriden suddenly ran over quickly.

"Marshal Jeanne, why are you here?"

Joan of Arc felt inexplicably relieved when she found out that the other person was someone she knew.

"Ludwin, aren't you the commander of the Royal Guard Knights? Why are you here?"

"To be honest, I felt that I was not strong enough, so I resigned to His Majesty Yemen and asked to lead the army to the front line to do what I can."

"This isn't the front line of your Kingdom of Elfriden, is it?"

"Yesterday afternoon, His Majesty Ye Men personally took action and killed Demon King Guy, declaring that he would take over all the Demon Lord Territories in the North. After that, except for some people who stayed behind, many people were sent out to run horses and grab land."

"Eh...? Is the Demon King dead?"

Joan of Arc was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted.

I see. No wonder the army of the Kingdom of Elfriden appears here. If that's the case, then it's not surprising.

only--

"Even if the Demon King was defeated by your Kingdom of Elfriden, isn't it a bit too greedy to want to occupy all of the large territory in the north?"

"In the past ten years since the Demon King's army marched south, your Kingdom of Elfriden has been living in the rear, and it is us who are fighting the Demon King's army on the front line."

"Feel sorry..."

Although he felt that what she said was right, Lu Dewen did not give in.

"Marshal Jeanne, let's use this place as the boundary between our two countries. If you continue to move forward, I will have no choice but to abide by the kingdom's regulations and attack you."

Joan of Arc remained silent, her heart filled with fear when she thought of the terrifying power of the rows of artillery in the enemy army.

"Ludwin, our empire and the Demon Kingdom have been at war for years. This time, we mobilized a large army but gained nothing. If the country knew that you were planning to take over all the Demon Kingdoms, it would definitely cause unrest."

"Besides, the North is so big, do you have so many people to manage it?"

"No." Ludwin shook his head slightly. "To be honest, the kingdom is short of manpower at the moment. Before this expedition, even I, the leader of the Royal Guard Knights, was dragged to do paperwork for a long time."

"The reason I took the initiative to accept the order this time is that I feel incapable and have no military merits. I feel uneasy and I also want to avoid those complicated and trivial things."

"But even so, our Kingdom of Elfriden will not give up an inch of land."

“Even if there is a lack of management now, there will definitely be one in the future. The land in the north is fertile. With just a few years of management, it will become a livable place.”

"Our Kingdom of Elfriden has grown too fast. In just these two months, the population of the capital has more than tripled. Many city walls have been torn down, and the suburbs have been turned into residential areas."

"In the coming years and decades, the kingdom's population will likely grow rapidly."

"So, we will never give up the land in the north!"

Joan of Arc was stunned. Now that things had come to this, there was no point in arguing any further.

What's more, the gap in strength is too obvious, and talking alone will not be enough to win benefits for the country.

Thinking of this, Joan of Arc felt a little melancholy again.

Two months ago, the empire was still the strongest country in the north. The surrounding countries had to look up to it, and it basically had the final say in the north.

But today, two months later, how come it suddenly became like this?

There is no internal strife on our side, nor are we sending troops abroad, so our strength has not weakened at all.

"The artillery you use seems to be different from the one introduced in the live broadcast room a few days ago, right?"

"The artillery during the live broadcast fired a grenade, which was not particularly powerful. Why did your artillery fire a beam of light? The power is also ridiculously strong?"

"Well..." In order to avoid being caught lying, Ludwin unconsciously looked away, "In fact, we noticed the new weapons of the Kingdom of Hobrei a few years ago and have been conducting research, but there has been no progress."

"After His Majesty Ye Men came, a huge amount of money was invested in weapons research and development, and many difficulties were overcome, so that they could be applied in actual combat."

"The reason why the power is different is because we are using an improved version, so it is slightly improved."

Your Majesty, it is so difficult to lie. I feel like I am about to be exposed.

"I see." Jeanne nodded slightly. "Even after watching your live broadcast, I still didn't take the new weapons seriously. It seems that our empire has fallen behind the times without realizing it."

"The research and development of new weapons often requires a large amount of investment. Perhaps only your kingdom has the financial resources to carry out such a large-scale replacement."

"Just as you said, let's use this place as the boundary."

"I will explain everything to my sister when I return."

"Thank you very much." Ludwin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although our side is very strong, it is better to avoid conflict if possible.

The empire is extremely popular in the north, and if it is not careful, it may become the world's public enemy.

Humans are different from demons and do not surrender so easily.

Once a world war breaks out, it will inevitably turn into a long-term war.

Countless families have been broken up, it’s scary just to think about it.

......

On the other side, inside the capital of Elfriden.

Because Rimuru and Sia caused a lot of trouble in the Northern Demon King's territory, they fell into a deep sleep after being brought back by Inugami, and Yemen has been guarding them.

The reason is that evolving the Demon King requires a large amount of magic power, and both of them do not have enough magic power, so Ye Men needs to input some to maintain the evolution.

At this moment, both of them have reached the pinnacle of the Demon King species and are at the critical juncture of awakening the Demon King.

Forget about Rimuru, but Sia is the little slime that he raised himself.

To be honest, this feeling is really good, and it feels like playing a development game.

"Yemen, Yemen! Something big has happened." Ramiris suddenly flew in shouting.

"What is it?"

"Demon King Lesuba proposed to hold a Demon King meeting. The other Demon Kings have agreed. It will start on time at 3 o'clock this afternoon."

"Oh, then go ahead."

"No, you have to go too. Demon Lord Rei Subaru specifically asked you to go. According to my guess, he must have been frightened by the recent situation..."

"Three o'clock? It's okay to go and take a look."
