EP.67 Chapter 67 Mir Occupation, and Vivian
"Quite a grand mess you've made."
I said while watching the goblins disposing of the soldiers' corpses killed by Hero Sage.
The city's main force of knights and royal guards, along with several humans including the mayor, were all killed by Sage's hand.
It was a clean strike befitting the name of Hero.
I felt sorry for the knights who must have put up futile resistance.
"Yulia, where is the Hero?"
"She's resting in the guest room with Vivian."
"She must need rest after her hard work."
Sage was the one who made the greatest contribution to this Mir siege, or rather massacre.
Thanks to her breaking through the enemy's main force and city gates, we were able to easily conquer the city without a complicated siege.
I looked out the window.
The sounds of remaining resistance forces fighting could still be heard.
But their futile resistance will soon subside.
All soldiers capable of resisting are dead, and all competent leaders who could command are also dead.
I conveyed several times not to touch ordinary citizens who don't resist.
Though orcs, goblins, and spiders don't have great intelligence, they also don't have the guts to dare disobey my words.
They will listen well.
Of course.
If we kill all ordinary humans too, who will run this city?
Though there's a possibility they might resist, humans to work for the Demon King's army must exist.
Thinking about how to rule Mir from now on, I reached the conference room where the city's core leadership holds meetings.
-Mayor Lucas.
I sat in the seat with the nameplate of the now dead mayor.
[You have conquered Mir.]
[Do you want to incorporate Mir into the dungeon?]
[If Mir is incorporated into the dungeon, a portal connecting to the dungeon will be created and it will become the Demon King's capital.]
[Only 1 city can be incorporated into the dungeon.]
[Changeable]
Many system messages appeared.
It was a system for creating the Demon King's capital.
By the way, a system connecting to the existing dungeon.
It was a system I was experiencing for the first time.
How funny.
To think there were such diverse systems, yet I stubbornly endured relying only on one dungeon.
I don't know if it's the god of this place or what, but I could understand why the one who sent me here was so angry.
They prepared a lot, but I must have looked annoying getting angry after failing by conquering with useless things.
'I was a game noob. Me.'
I feel it many times.
That damn game that sent me to this world was made with quite a good structure.
The new system wasn't bad at all.
It's nice to call it a capital.
'It feels like a forward base too.'
Does it mean to receive enemy attacks at an outward capital while hiding the real base dungeon?
There was no reason not to do it.
What I felt while looking around Mir after occupying the city was.
'A city and fortress built with good planning.'
It was built with an optimal structure for blocking external enemies.
It felt like they put considerable effort into building the fortress.
'I'll incorporate it.'
As soon as my thought ended, a portal was created.
Yulia silently watched that appearance.
As if she knew it would be like this.
Unlike Lorangrevel, no subjugation message appeared for Mir.
It must be because resistance forces still remain nearby.
"Has there been contact from those in charge of the resistance forces trying to build bases near the city?"
"I heard Kina and Rebecca are going to support after annihilating enemies located at the western base."
"It will end soon then."
While sharing impressions.
Creak.
"We've brought them. Keuruk!"
A group of goblins and orcs entered dragging in a group of humans by their collars.
"S-Spare us!"
"You filthy monsters! Don't you know who I am!"
"Uwaah!"
They were the former rulers of Mir.
Since it's a city, should I call them politicians?
The bourgeoisie of this city who aren't nobles.
I quietly looked down at them.
"Are you the former rulers of this city?"
"D-Demon King..."
They trembled seeing me.
"Don't be too afraid. I didn't call you to kill you."
"Wh-What do you mean? Y-You've already ruined our entire city!"
"Ruined? Our soldiers didn't forcibly burn any facilities here. We only killed military and knights with threatening potential, and adventurers. We didn't touch citizens unable to resist. You can check if you're curious."
Everyone closed their mouths.
"Th-Then why did you kill the mayor?"
He was a young politician. His eyes were filled with hostility.
On the other hand, there were those showing displeasure through their eyes as if saying why bring that up.
Different reactions to one question.
The mayor, huh.
Well, since it's a city, there must be various political parties.
The one who just shouted must be from the mayor's party.
"He too was beheaded because he would be a threat to us. If he had surrendered obediently, such a tragedy wouldn't have happened."
I sighed as if regretful.
But no one believed that sigh at all.
It doesn't matter.
I didn't call them to persuade them anyway.
"The reason I called you all here today is to hold a vote."
"A-A vote?"
"Isn't the mayor's position vacant now that he's dead? Someone needs to fill that empty seat."
Thump. Thump.
They must have understood the meaning of my words at once.
"I-I think it's right for the Demon King to take that position!"
A middle-aged man who had been resisting and yelling at the goblins bowed his head and spoke.
"L-Lord Vilrat!"
"What are you saying?"
"I-I think you're the most suitable person to lead this city well, Your Majesty Demon King."
He shouted with his head bowed, not caring what those around him were saying.
"We already have one vote in favor. Are there any opposed?"
"I oppose! No matter how strong your power is, this is far from our city's ways."
"We have one vote against. What's your name?"
"I am Simon, of one mind with Mayor Lucas."
"Simon... An unfortunate choice."
I gestured to the goblins.
Seeing that gesture, a goblin stabbed Simon's chest.
"Kuhuk!"
Simon collapsed spewing blood.
"Oh my. I just meant to throw that friend out of the city walls... I'm sorry. My subordinates are too passionate."
Too much passion is a problem too.
To handle human lives so carelessly.
Haven't we lost talent?
The goblins dragged Simon's corpse away.
A line drawn in bright red blood was engraved where Simon had just been standing.
"Are there any more opposing opinions?"
Everyone closed their mouths.
No one voiced any opposition.
"Then it's decided unanimously."
I extended my hand to Vilrat who was still bowing his head and trembling.
"I look forward to working with you, Lord Vilrat."
"...?"
I added one more word to him looking up at me.
"You will be this city's deputy mayor."
The deputy mayor to take the mayor's place when vacant.
He will become my faithful dog.
"Drink this. A gift for a loyal subject."
It was that drug I gave to Alcom in the past.
A drug that makes one's wishes come true.
A drug one becomes addicted to and can't escape after drinking just one cup.
"Th-Thank you! Demon King!"
I like those quick to catch on.
***
News that Mir was occupied by the Demon King's army quickly reached the capital of the Aslan Kingdom.
"What is this..."
It was news that the forces sent to build defense lines were annihilated by monsters that invaded before they could even lift a finger.
"How can this be?"
The king muttered in a dazed voice.
It was a month ago that the expeditionary force was annihilated.
Yet Mir has already fallen.
There was no way to know what the Demon King's army had to conquer so quickly.
Though Mir is a city on the frontier, it had high walls due to rich silver mines and considerable soldiers trained to protect the mines.
It wasn't easy to maintain the city's status among lords always trying to expand their territories at any opportunity.
Such a place fell in less than a week.
Since there was no talk of a siege starting, they must have fallen as soon as the enemy attacked.
"We must borrow the Empire's power!"
The voices of those saying to bring in foreign powers grew louder.
It's madness.
The only external forces to bring in nearby are the Empire, the Heteromorphic Alliance, and the long-standing rival Roman Kingdom.
Where are they saying to bring troops from?
They're all as dangerous as the Demon King's army.
How do they intend to take responsibility after repelling the Demon King's army?
He sighed involuntarily at the words of retainers uttering empty cries.
"I will issue a national mobilization order. I hope the nobles will dispatch troops and knights owned by each family."
"Your Majesty! A mobilization order?"
"That cannot be! You're saying you'll collect troops from the nobles, but what noble would just watch?"
Fools.
Are they saying external enemies are fine, but they can't sacrifice themselves?
There must be those among them taking money from the Empire.
There must be those currying favor with the Roman Kingdom or Heteromorphic Alliance.
How could those calling themselves nobles of the Aslan Kingdom...
To think such people are the nobles maintaining the kingdom.
It was deplorable and pathetic.
"There is no other way. Calling foreign troops is the last resort."
Everyone made expressions full of dissatisfaction, but couldn't refute.
Though the nobles' power is considerable, the king's authority in the Aslan Kingdom was substantial.
"I'll assume everyone understands."
Aslan began gathering troops to prepare for the coming invasion of the Demon King's army.
***
"Alcom, my loyal village chief."
"Demon King, you called?"
Alcom, now with a body in his 20s, bowed his head before the Demon King.
The old man in his 60s from not long ago was gone, and it was Alcom with the healthy body of his 20s prime.
His reverence for the Demon King was beyond that of a religious person looking at God.
If the Demon King told him to die for him now, he could do it anytime.
Because he believed there must be some intention for asking him to die like that.
"You've become much younger. It would be hard to find your previous appearance."
"It's all thanks to the Demon King's grace."
"Do you know why I brought you from Lorangrevel?"
"I'm not sure."
When the Demon King declared he would depart, the villagers including him followed.
Lorangrevel had value when the dungeon was there.
If access to the dungeon became impossible, that value would completely disappear.
Is he going to use me in Mir?
...He had such thoughts, but the Demon King subjugated everyone while mostly maintaining existing personnel.
He is a merciful person.
A person with a broad capacity who embraces even those who oppose him.
"Take this."
What the Demon King held out was a parchment rolled into a scroll.
"What is this..."
"Go to the capital of the Aslan Kingdom and deliver it."
"May I dare ask what the contents are?"
"It's a document telling them to surrender to me. If they do so, they won't suffer any damage and no one will be hurt."
The moment he heard those words, his body trembled.
To go to a kingdom that lost a city and lost its Knight Commander and Hero and tell them to surrender.
This was an order to go to certain death.
"Ha, haha, hahaha."
The village chief's body trembled as he raised the corners of his mouth.
He was laughing.
It wasn't his body trembling from fear.
Ecstasy.
The emotion covering him was ecstasy and joy.
The Demon King is someone who has plans for everything.
He's not someone who would carelessly order death.
This is a pilgrimage.
A path to receive true salvation.
If he dies through this mission, he would be able to obtain a reward greater than this youth in his 20s he gained now.
"I will deliver it no matter what!"
Bang!
Alcom shouted while slamming his head down.
Blood flowed from his head that hit the stone floor.
***
I headed to the guest room where Sage was said to be resting with Vivian.
I saw Sage sleeping soundly on a spider web made by Vivian.
"You've come, Demon King."
Vivian, transformed into human form, bowed her head towards me.
"How is Sage's condition?"
"She's becoming much more stable. Her holy sword too..."
Vivian pointed to the holy sword hanging on the spider web.
"It's gradually finding stability."
The jewel embedded in the center of the holy sword was being polluted red.
When that jewel changes to look like a living eye rather than a jewel, the holy sword will completely fall along with the hero.
When that time comes...
Sage too will willingly fall into my arms.
"Has it changed from drinking human blood?"
I brought my finger towards the holy sword.
Zap!
"It still resists strongly."
It was a holy sword showing especially strong rejection towards me.
Just like Sage who still finds me unpleasant.
"Soon this sword too will be completely subordinate to the Demon King."
"Vivian, I think your ability will be sufficient."
Vivian who laid Sage on the spider web rose smoothly and approached me.
"Um, Demon King..."
"What is it?"
"How long will you only cherish Sage?"
Vivian who walked lightly on the spider web slightly opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue.
"This girl wants to receive the Demon King's love too. You still haven't allowed your body to this girl yet."
She stroked my chest with her soft hand.
The sight of her fingertip circling on my chest was quite cute.
I had never mixed bodies with Vivian.
I only kissed her to use as a medium to corrupt Sage.
"Do you want to receive my love that much?"
"Yes, I'm very heated up? Are you only going to give grace to Amy every time, and I'm nothing? Are you only going to keep me as Sage's mama?"
She took my hand and brought it to her lower body.
"Look. My virgin pussy that hasn't been violated by anyone is dripping wet like this. Just from meeting eyes with the Demon King."
I looked at Sage sleeping soundly behind.
"Won't the child wake up?"
"Don't worry."
She placed her finger on the spider web and lightly flicked it.
Swish.
The spider web became a soft cocoon wrapping Sage.
"She won't feel anything now, Demon King."
Going this far.
"I can't not give a reward."
