After years of conquest, Yuuto had become the most powerful demon king in the realm, respected and feared by all. However, Yuuto knew that he couldn't rest on his laurels. He knew that he needed even more power and strength to wield his rule across the land. So, he set his eyes on building an even greater army than what he had before.
Yuuto had already amassed a formidable group of warriors, mages, and demons, but he knew that he needed to expand his army if he was going to become the supreme ruler of the entire realm. He began by sending out envoys to various regions asking for volunteers and recruiting soldiers from villages and towns.
Yuuto was careful of who he recruited, making sure that they were not just skilled and powerful fighters, but also loyal to his cause. He also made sure that he chose people who were ethical and honorable, who wouldn't abuse their power or create chaos in their territories.
Yuuto also sought out the help of powerful mages from different regions and asked them to teach their magic and skills to his army. He wanted to create an army of versatile fighters, capable of utilizing magic as well as physical combat.
As Yuuto's army grew, so did his infrastructure. He constructed training centers, barracks, and armories so that his troops could be well-equipped and well-prepared for battles. He also liaised with blacksmiths and created weapons that were durable and effective in combat.
But Yuuto knew that an army fresh to war would be more of a liability than an asset. He also knew that his troops needed to be well trained and experienced in battle. So, he set his sights on conquering more territories, not just for their resources, but also for the sake of experience.
Yuuto's new strategy worked wonders, and his army became one of the most skilled and experienced in the land. They mastered both physical and magical combat techniques, working together in battle as a cohesive unit.
However, Yuuto was not content with having just one army. He wanted his power to spread beyond the realm of demonkind. He formed alliances and treaties with other rulers in different realms, promising them wealth and protection if they pledged their loyalty to him.
Yuuto spent several years building his army, training them personally and developing bespoke techniques for his soldiers. He also spent considerable amounts of time traveling through the territories as king, ensuring that his army was well-liked, respected, and well-integrated into the local communities.
As time passed, his army continued to grow, swelling in numbers and in skill. With his new army, Yuuto was ready to take on any challenge that lay ahead, facing the most formidable enemies with skill and strategy. He was now not just a conqueror, but also a true ruler, one who cared for his troops, kept them out of harm's way, and worked towards creating a better society.
Yuuto knew that the road ahead was long and treacherous, but with his army and his power, he was ready to face anything that came his way. He was the shadow king, a leader who had built the most powerful army in the land, one who wielded not just physical might but also magical prowess. He was a true force to be reckoned with.
