Ira also understood that merfolk were similar to demon dog trainers, belonging to the summoner class of combat, and perhaps a large part of their combat power came from their pets.

In other words, it's the [Shield Shell] and the [Sword Shark], which sounds like a fighting style that combines offense and defense.

As for fishing, Ira no longer needs to use the marking method to count the number of fish, since the sirens who catch fish use fishing nets with large enough mesh and will actively throw the small fish fry back into the sea.

It seems that even the sirens understand the principle of not draining the pond to catch all the fish... This is the kind of principle they are talking about; although many other monsters are unaware of this, they themselves are.

There are some things that Ira doesn't need to tell them how to do. Before he speaks, people (monsters) have already figured out the rules of survival on their own, or even the principles they have explored since ancient times.

Just as monsters have learned how to use fertilizer, siren know to release small, immature fish back into the wild. Every living being will eventually find its own best way to survive.

While the fishing efficiency wasn't a huge harvest, with three or four fishing boats working together, it was more than enough for the Demon King to feast on.

However, due to the world's logistics and transportation problems, even if there were surplus fish to sell, they could only be made into dried fish or salted fish, and the sales might not be good.

After all, it's not a specialty product like the blue scutellaria mushroom.

However, to obtain Blue Mushrooms on a larger scale, more goblins and lesser demons are needed to cultivate them. The former can only survive by living, while the latter requires flesh and blood to be thrown into the magic pool to obtain magic insects, and then wait for the magic insects to grow into lesser demons.

Ah, right, it seems that the fish caught in excess cannot be used for trade. As meat is easier to obtain than beef and mutton, it should be used to raise new little demons.

As Ira thought this, listening to the dual commands of "Hard to port! Turn around!" and "Hard to port! Turn around!", I watched as the fishing boat turned 180 degrees to the right and began its return journey.

The Demon King's territory, in dire need of rebuilding, still has much work to do.

While Iraq was pondering what to do next...

Wow! What a huge fish!

"..."

Satan Ye looked very happy holding a big fish. The fish was really big, maybe as long as Satan Ye's arm... Perhaps this was the biggest gain of the trip.

Take it back to Mr. Lyme; he can probably make a very nice fish feast...

Iraq is still looking forward to it.

So, once we get back, we'll first prepare a plan to clear out the forest, recruit the goblin tribes in Greer Forest, as well as some other usable little monsters, and eliminate some of the dangerous monsters.

This ensures that the work area will not be disturbed by other factors when the cultivated land is expanded in the future.

"spread……"

Ira, who had made a small plan for what to do next, was about to tell Satanye about it, but seeing that Satanye seemed to be having a lot of fun, he thought for a moment and decided not to tell her yet.

Let Satan Leaf enjoy the joy of playing like a little girl...

However, since Ira is planning to bring Satan's Leaf with her during the cleanup, it's something I'll have to talk to her about sooner or later... and after that, there are many, many things to consider.

The development will likely revolve around the concept of "status".

Besides infrastructure development, the Demon Kingdom needs to become a nation that is no longer insignificant in terms of its global standing as quickly as possible. This elevation of status is multifaceted.

Strength that compels others to take notice, certain qualities that surpass those of other nations, and the ability to sell resources that other nations need but cannot create effectively... these can all be key factors in increasing the global standing of areas controlled by monsters.

Furthermore, to increase cohesion between territories, the first step is to make transportation between territories more convenient, so road construction needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

To get rich, build roads first.

It is also necessary to take further action against some rebellious territories, but we must also pay attention to priorities. It is certainly unrealistic to attack them one by one from near to far.

This will be a massive undertaking, and it may require issuing orders to have those territories that have still submitted act as a deterrent on behalf of the Demon King... The territories around the border remain loyal.

Monsters are monsters, and the most loyal monsters are beyond human imagination.

Of course, those traitorous demons also seem to remain loyal, only in their eyes, the Demon King worthy of their loyalty is already dead. Perhaps this is what makes them fans in a certain sense.

If that's the case, then Satan Ye needs to become a king who can stand on his own as soon as possible... No, that's too much to ask of her, her father certainly can't stand on his own either.

So, I'd better become a king who can stand alone as soon as possible.

"Mr. Ira! Shall we have grilled fish tonight?!"

Satan Ye laughed happily, clutching the large fish in her hands, looking quite greedy. She said, "Let's call everyone over and have a good meal together tonight!"

However, we just had a banquet yesterday, and if we hold another one today, our work will have to be delayed again.

And won't you gain weight if you keep eating like this every day? I remember... Hillina said you don't need to manage your figure, right? Where do you store your energy?

As Ira thought this, he glanced at Satan Leaf's fiery red tail, which was happily swaying back and forth. He vaguely remembered that when they first met, Satan Leaf's tail wasn't that big. So, were all the nutrients stored in the tail?

"Once Mr. Lem has finished making them, the maids can deliver them to their respective rooms and houses."

As Ira said this, he dissuaded Satan from continuing the banquet that night. He said, "The sirens need to rest, and I also have some work to do. You also need to get up early tomorrow morning. I think it would be better if you took the lead in the clearing of the forest that we mentioned before."

"Huh? Me?"

Pointing at herself with such a lack of confidence, Satan Ye hesitated for a moment, but still nodded reluctantly and said, "But I know absolutely nothing about commanding..."

This is perfectly normal; Isabella knew nothing about it either.

But Isabella might command other generals, while Satanieh might take a different path...

"It's okay, as long as you're at the forefront of the fight, that's what suits you best."

As Ira said this, it sounded like she was overstepping her bounds by using the title of "King" as if it were a "warrior," but Satan seemed relieved. She put her hands on her hips and replied, "Phew...that's good. Let me take care of those disobedient monsters!"

Sylvanas: "..."

Ira: "..."

But have you ever considered that you might not be able to win?
