Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...
"Huff, huff~"
"..."
Seeing Satan Ye panting as she finished her daily training session, Sirina wiped her head and said, "You're done. Let's rest for a bit and then go back..."
"Huff... huff..."
Even without Yinla, Satan Ye, who still meticulously completed her daily training, calmed her breathing. She thought about it... and realized that today would be another day of doing nothing.
After all, Yimra took care of most of the things.
"I'll continue my training in mana..."
Satan Ye took the initiative to practice more. A scarlet magical light gathered in her hands. She looked at Sirina, who stood aside understandingly, and said, "Now, my magic is not used by just me, so the more the better."
That's not wrong, since as long as Yinla unfolds his wingspan, he frequently uses [First Wing Pillar - Crimson Dragon - Wingspan], and that part of Mana will be deducted from Satan's side.
Therefore, even if it's just so that Yinla can use her mana with peace of mind, Satanye needs more mana reserves.
"It's good to work hard, but you also need to take breaks."
"..."
Upon suddenly hearing Yinla's voice, Sirina and Satan Ye, who were already used to it, turned around at the same time to look at Yinla, who had appeared behind them at some point.
"Be mindful of your physical limits and avoid causing yourself to ache all over."
As Yinla spoke, he showed such concern for Satanye… To be honest, Yinla’s concern wasn’t something particularly valuable, but concern that was [unrelated to any purpose] was certainly not cheap.
"I've finished what I was doing. The rest is none of my business, whether it's laying cement or planting pasture, so..."
As Illa said this, Sirina and Satan quickly realized what Illa was going to do next... just as she had said at the morning meeting yesterday.
"Let's go find Senata and ask her what's going on."
As Yinla spoke, he spoke lightly, standing on the terrace that served as the training ground, looking at the distant sea, and gently squinting his eyes as he said, "Let's see which territories we can take care of along the way."
Satan and Sirina's idea was correct.
Although Yinla spoke calmly, a smile had already appeared on Satan Ye's face... Yes, it's time, that moment has arrived. Thanks to Mr. Yinla, the Demon King's Territory will soon become a true Demon King's Territory once again.
Come on, I'm coming, come on...
Everything is ready.
——————————
Compared to ordinary conversations, this meeting seemed more formal and serious, because almost all the leaders were present in the hall.
The battles to come will be closely related to every leader, except for the civilian staff.
"Given the attitudes shown by Mr. Yinla and His Highness Satanye, only five territories remain that have not yet paid their tributes... no, excluding the Cyclopes who recently sent tributes, there are four left."
Sernata said this.
(Cyclops: Damn!)
(I almost got killed!)
The vampires active in various territories shared intelligence with Senata in a very simple way. Senata, with her firsthand information from each territory, had very accurate reports. She said, "There are two territories that are particularly noteworthy..."
"In the southernmost part of the Demon King's territory, near the sea, there are mixed-race demon territories... and in the northernmost part, closest to the Empire and the Orc Kingdom, there are half-demon territories... The racial composition of these two territories is not pure, and many humans and other races even live in them."
As she spoke, Senata pointed out the mixed-dwelling territories and the half-demon territories on the map on the large table. She said, "There are many mixed-dwelling territories, but only this one has betrayed us. The specific reasons why it is unwilling to pay tribute are still unknown."
As Serena spoke, she looked at all the leaders, paused for a moment, and then continued, "And then there are the lich territories that betrayed His Highness Satan Ye because of their contempt for him."
Upon hearing this, Yinla couldn't help but glance at Vera.
"Why are you looking at me, Yinla? When I escaped here, I hadn't even met those liches, okay? Besides, I don't think liches have any kind of leader."
Vera couldn't help but complain like this... after all, liches are transformed from humans.
No one paid attention to Vera and Illa's conversation, nor did Senata. Under everyone's gaze, Senata revealed the name of the last traitor's territory: "The vampire territory."
"..."
Interestingly, the remaining territories that betrayed the cause all inexplicably have intricate connections with humans and the leaders present... Half-demons are the children of succubi and humans, and humans live in their mixed territories. Vampires can be born from the embrace of humans.
Needless to say, the lich is another story.
However, neither Silina as a succubus, nor Inra as a human, nor Vera as a lich would care about such things; only Senata seemed somewhat hesitant.
"What should we do with the vampire territory?"
Hearing Illa's words, Senata hesitated and looked in the direction of Satan Ye. Seeing Satan Ye's expression that said, "You decide for yourself," she hesitated and closed her eyes.
"I have already issued an ultimatum."
Senata shook her head helplessly as she said this, and said regretfully, "So, I don't plan to do anything... Mr. Illa, it's up to you. Whether you kill them all or whatever, I can accept it and will not have any complaints."
If someone said this in the Empire, then Ira would really need to consider whether the person's underlying meaning was exactly the opposite, but in the Demon King's Territory, there was no need to worry about this.
Because what Senata said was a statement that she had made up her mind.
"So, should we split our forces into four groups for these four territories?"
As Yinla spoke, he looked at the four territories that were quite far apart. He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said to the chiefs, "Never mind, we're not in a hurry... Let's take it one step at a time. It just so happens that my construction work has come to a temporary end."
The Point Guard is Here
All the leaders understood the meaning of these words—Yinla intended to participate in all four battles; if that were the case, then there was truly something to mourn for those four territories.
Yinla: "Satanye, if you want to go, you can come along too."
Satan Ye: "I can't have it."
Yinla: "Lotia, Little Black, Rainbow Shell?"
Seeing the three nodding, Yinla turned his gaze to Sirina and asked the succubus butler who seemed to have never participated in the battle, "Sirina, are you planning to go on this campaign?"
"..."
"Um."

Leaders of the four territories: Let the music continue, let the dance continue!
"Shut up~"
I don't know why, but I always feel a chill down my spine.
