Chapter 954 – Episode 875 – A Merciful Demon King Who Cares About Both Humans and Demons!
I can’t say it now, but in fact, this war is a war that I don’t understand.
There is always a reason or cause for going to war. But I still don’t understand what the war is for.
It will soon change to ether. This Essentia is a planet without much difficulty in living thanks to the energy called Eser.
If you think about how people on Earth lived before the Industrial Revolution, Essentia is literally a paradise.
Although they occupy 1/3 of that paradise, they are not even able to utilize that 1/3 properly due to the pathetic reproductive ability of inferior males. But why target the most barren demon spirit in Essentia?
First, it seems like there are special resources that only come from the Demon Territory… But isn’t that too unprofitable?
Even the new weapon that came out this time. According to Fayen’s words, it must have cost quite a bit of money to make that weapon.
When I think about the amount of money being spent on raising and maintaining an army that was unimaginable back in the days when I counted money… No matter how much I think about it, I can’t help but think that the human kingdom is overinvesting.
Of course, a war doesn’t necessarily have to be profitable… But it probably isn’t something worth going through with such losses…
Although it looks a little different, the royal family of a huge country that is no different from an empire goes to war without making such calculations…?
I don’t understand… I’m sure I heard someone talk about revenge or something like that at some point. It would be best to check this before proceeding further.
“Lotte. I feel like it’s already come to an end. “May I ask why the humans attacked the demons?”
“Ah. That…? Umm. It’s not clear, and it’s a bit complicated to talk about… To put it bluntly, it’s because of the resentment of the human royal family.”
Demons waiting to be led by livestock and explaining the situation, and humans being held captive and waiting to be disposed of.
When I asked Astaroth while she was gathering the human and her demons, she smiled and started talking, as if she still had the lingering memories of killing the males.
“About 40 years ago, human nobles and royal families visited the Demon Territory for the purpose of friendship… At that time, a small tribe near the border area had an accident…”
Until about 40 years ago, humans and demons were not on good terms.
Because they had different looks and characteristics, they kept each other in check. Still, it is said that there was a close enough relationship to have regular exchanges.
About once or twice a decade. The two races are said to have crossed each other’s territory to check on each other’s situation and bring supplies to exchange.
However, it is said that one day, a group of demons called Goblins who lived near the current border area attacked the nobles and demons who came to exchange.
“Even before that, the Goblin tribe was a demon tribe whose power was so weak that the leader could not even participate in the leaders’ meeting. Since he had violent tendencies, he was not properly managed…”
Right now, I don’t even know if it exists or not. Until then, small tribes of demons existed here and there in hundreds to thousands of people.
It is said that the goblin tribe, also known as the goblin tribe, was a tribe that was not very strong but had a terrible temper.
The goblin tribe was said to have no idea what they were doing because they were living alone near the border without even having their own territory.
I don’t know what they were thinking, but they say they attacked them targeting the items brought by the humans who visited 40 years ago.
“At that time, the border area was a place with complex mountain ranges. Now, the terrain has changed a lot due to the aftermath of the battle… But there are also things that haven’t happened for hundreds of years, so humans haven’t been able to respond properly.”
If you think about it, the exchange between demons and humans would have been more beneficial to the demons. Therefore, humans never thought that demons would attack.
Perhaps because of that and the unfamiliar terrain, it is said that the hero knights and knights who were attached as guards at the time panicked like fools when attacked by the goblins.
Still, it was a surprise attack by a weak, weak tribe, so it was somehow sorted out. A surprise attack by the goblins where about half of the supplies and dozens of people were kidnapped.
When the demons and humans heard the news, they hurriedly set out to search. It is said that the kidnapped humans were discovered about a month later.
“During the surprise attack, hundreds of goblins, who were believed to number less than 5,000 at the time, died. Because they weren’t a tribe that cared much about such things to begin with…”
“Fuha. Those guys are like real monsters. So? What happened after that?”
“Hmm… I was young so I don’t know much. It is said that they were not a tribe that thought about the future to begin with. So, during that month… Well, they say they harassed the kidnapped people quite a bit.”
“Tsk tsk. I can roughly imagine what happened. They must have killed the males and had sex parties with the females.”
Goblin. According to knowledge on Earth, a monster with a strong sexual desire and an ugly appearance is considered a miscellaneous mob.
However, contrary to my knowledge, the monsters called goblins in Essentia were weak monsters with ordinary sexual desires that only lived in hiding somewhere.
So I haven’t seen that much either. Still, looking at the fact that they attacked humans, the demons called goblins must be close to the goblins I knew.
With that in mind, I imagined the crazy mating party they would have had. Astaroth tilted his head and shook his head at my words.
“No. It’s the opposite. They killed the females and raped the males.”
“Ha?”
“Did I tell you? It is said that among demons, babies born are born from their mother’s tribe. From the goblin perspective, human females would not have been that important.”
Females are killed and males are raped by female goblins.
It was the exact opposite of what I thought. What kind of terrible sound is this?
Still, since they are not monsters but the human race of Essentia, I don’t think it would be bad for goblin females to have their own appearance…
When I thought that such an absurd situation could have unfolded, I suddenly felt dizzy.
“But with the future in mind, they kept the young children alive to use as hostages. One of the children who survived… Is now the queen of Reinhardt’s kingdom.”
The queen of the Kingdom of Reinhardt, who was said to be the daughter of a high-ranking nobleman equivalent to a duke at the time.
It is said that the goblins who kidnapped the queen killed her mother and raped her father right before her eyes.
Afterward, she somehow moved on to rescuing the hostages and annihilating the goblins with an apology…
It is said that after that kidnapping, the relationship with the human kingdom deteriorated and communication with each other was completely cut off.
“Then the human king was replaced, and the woman became her queen… And conflict began to arise in earnest. The war did not start right away, but the border area became a battlefield from that day on.”
“Oh… But they didn’t start a war right away? “The queen seems to have a lot of patience…”
“That’s why it’s difficult. If we had started a war outright from the beginning, we would have bowed out of apology and gone in… Now, we are in a situation where we cannot afford to do that because the damage is so severe.”
Hmm… When I hear this, the human queen called Esttoria is not ordinary…
It is also true that she became queen even after going through such things. She didn’t go out for revenge right away, but just went on a quest and all.
This means she finally took her time and laid her plate, right? If a war had been started right away, the demons would have caved in and an opposing force would have arisen within the kingdom.
It took decades to lay the groundwork to annihilate the demons. It seems that her revenge on the queen and her demons is not a joke.
“Hmm. So to end this war, the key is to resolve her queen’s vengeance… But what should we do? In fact, the goblins who caused the problem have already disappeared…”
“Actually, the queen is not the only problem. The prince, who was the older brother of the current king, was also killed in that surprise attack. From what I heard, you said you were going to protect the nobles, but you died after being hit by an arrow?”
“Uh, really? Hmm. That’s right. Since she said she was part of a group of nobles and royals, there may be more people who want revenge than you think…”
“Well, if you think about it now, they are inferior males anyway. “I wonder what it has to do with it.”
Do you have faith that I will solve the war? Astaroth rubs his head against my arm as if asking to be touched, smiling as if he is not particularly worried about war.
But surprisingly, I was in a situation where I was a little worried, unlike when I had rant to Astaroth.
Umm. What should I do with this? Of course, it can be easily solved by wiping out all the humans at random and talking to the queen using a horse’s dick…
In that case, the resentment of the human queen who wants to exterminate the demons is understandable…
Does it make you a little nervous to think that you can solve this problem with all your might? To some extent, I think it would be good to lighten the mood as a human…
Hmm… I guess I’ll have to discuss this with my friends. I need to come up with a story that ends on the most heartwarming note… Where demons and humans can laugh at each other.
Except for the males, of course.
“Demon King♡ Everyone has gathered. How would you like to start right away?”
“Oh. Okay? Did you finish it just in time? Good. Then, let’s leave right away.”
“I understand♡ Then, Demon King, Astaroth. This way…♡”
While I was wondering what to do after hearing Astaroth’s story. A demonic livestock that indicates that preparations have been completed.
There, I was thinking about how to release Estonia, whose face I hadn’t even seen yet. I went to the front of the platform prepared by the livestock with Astaroth.
