Mawanga’s Secret Real Estate 284

Chapter 284 – Chapter 27 – Divide, Divide

True to its name, the kingdom has a ‘king’.
However, it was after he had already lost all real power to the aristocratic council and had reached a truly miserable point where he could not say anything carelessly in front of them.
Even in the royal castle, there were few people who were loyal to the king.
The knights, the soldiers, and even the courtiers who stayed inside the palace were all the helpers of the nobles.

If the situation is like that, if you hear the news that the demon king is coming to the capital with an army of demons.
How many people would really want to stay by the king’s side and protect him to the end?
There was no one, at least a few guards and maids who weren’t maids.

Kiki profit-.

Even during the Continental War, the castle that did not go over to the enemy opened the door wide on its own.
And the king now descended from his throne, bound himself, and knelt before the new king.
Following him, many people who were staying in the castle also knelt together.

All the nobles who were already guarding the surroundings turned away.
Although they were the ones who did not want to give up their power and vested interests rather than die.
When the dreadful thing called death really approached, I threw it all away without a moment’s hesitation.
The surviving members of the noble council, led by Grand Duke Joseph, fled with their family, family, knights, and enlisted men.

The news reached Yulia’s ears right away by the scouts.
Although they operate their own scouts, especially the red tarantula and Lire diligently moving and continuously gathering information played a big role.

– What should I do, Your Highness the Demon King? Track them right now and you’ll catch them all before they cross the border. –
– … No. Let it go. Just let them do what they want. –

Yulia muttered that while smiling for no reason.
As a result, some of her demons wondered if she was at least showing her mercy, but no matter how she looked at it, she didn’t look like someone who showed her mercy.
Rather, there is something he is aiming for, and it works out well as he wants, so it should be said that it is like a pleasant person.

In any case, with all the nobles thrown out, the kingdom collapsed in an instant.
Julia, who finally entered the castle and reached the palace, was able to face the human king, who was waiting for his disposal while tying herself up.

“I can’t say that I was guilty of being foolish and foolish and putting the country into ruin and putting the people in trouble. However, the evil of the aristocrats is so serious that you cannot do anything about it yourself, and above all, the king will not kill the king, so I will reclaim the position of king but spare his life.”

It was the mercy of the victor, but at the same time, it was also the minimum device to manage public sentiment.
Although it is said that the king was not like a king, in the end a king is a king.
Even the nobles showed a polite expression in front of their king, at least formally.
If Yulia broke it herself, not someone else, it would not be different from establishing her own authority, but rather undermining her own authority.

Julia, sitting on her throne, looking at those on her knees before her own.
From Ain, a member of the loyalists who followed her from the beginning, to the demons, such as Ferdinand Else and Ashley Palatinat, who joined later.
Next to them were Darnell Kienmeyer, James Fremont, and other nobles who were human figures.
Between the two races, Kayla and Planche were quietly keeping quiet.
Finally, in front of them was Klaus, who opened the way to start all of this.

“… Finally, the kingdom was obtained. If you only saw this battle, it would have been short, but if you consider the previous wars, it was a really long and long time.”
“I will reduce it, Your Highness the Demon King.”
“It is still too early. It’s a start. Rather, we will have to move more swiftly than now.”

Saying that, Yulia gestured lightly.
Klaus was the first to stand up, and all of the Demon King’s servants followed him and gathered in front of her.

“Klaus.”
“Yes, Your Highness the Demon King. As planned, we managed to capture the kingdom within a month. It is said that there are areas that have not been cleaned up yet, but they are not nutritious, and they will bow their heads anyway after time, so you don’t have to worry.”

At Klaus’ words, everyone gathered around nodded their heads in unison.
The kingdom area currently in Yulia’s hands was the southern area, the central area including the royal castle, the Marquis of Kienmeyer, and a little bit of the northern area starting from the Great Forest.
In terms of area, it had eaten almost 80% of the kingdom, and even the king was in his grasp.

In other words, from the perspective of the demons, it could be said that they had completely obtained the kingdom, both practically and for justification.

“Good news. False charge. I wonder what it would be like to give the soldiers a break and take a look at the situation for a while. You say you haven’t fought many battles, but there is such a thing as momentum in the military. Rather, I am concerned that the absence of such a battle might have dulled the momentum.”

At Ferdinand’s words, several demons nodded and agreed.
It’s not that they didn’t fight a proper battle, they also fought a siege.
But if you ask them if it was a blood-curdling battle, they would say no.
Rather, the bloody battle was fought by the demon king and Klaus.

Nevertheless, the reason for suggesting a break was the situation in the army.
Due to previous continental wars, it is now impossible to consume soldiers randomly.
Each soldier is a very precious citizen and future labor force.
Since a lot of damage to an ally can be seen as a loss in the future, it meant that he would reduce even non-combat losses to a minimum by preparing again.

“… It makes sense. Ashley Palatinat. Do you think the same way?”
“I am a little different from Ferdinand Else. The soldiers may need rest, but rather than that, we need to cross the border and enter the empire as soon as possible.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Before the human nobles who fled the kingdom and headed for the empire again set up defenses and bothered. It is because it is better to push back to the Empire before reinforcements from beastmen and fairies arrive again.”
“Hmm. I think your words are valid.”

While stroking his chin, Yulia showed a quiet thoughtful appearance.
She then questions Klaus, who is standing next to her without speaking.

“What do you think, Klaus?”
“I agree with Ashley Palatinat. I’m a little sorry for the soldiers, but we don’t have time to take a break right now. You have to move as quickly as possible, destroy the whole empire, and face the fairies face to face.”

As before, Yulia asked why he thought that way.
If the soldiers were taken out again shortly after occupying the kingdom, they would surely have a lot of dissatisfaction, so why do they have to do that?

“If you wait, fairies and beastmen will enter the empire. At the same time, when the nobles of the kingdom realize that we are not pursuing them, they will try to build a new home there.”
“Is that the problem? That they use the Empire?”
“Nope. The biggest problem is the atmosphere within the Empire.”

At Klaus’ words, not only Yulia but everyone around him looked at him.
It was as if he was asking what that meant, as if the atmosphere within the empire was why he said such a thing.

“In the past, during the First Continental War, the kingdom fought fiercely with the East directly facing each other. And although the beastmen and fairies did not directly maintain the front line, they continued to fight the East by sending reinforcements anyway.”
“It did. But what about that?”
“The Empire, on the other hand, has done nothing from then until now. Because they themselves are helpless beings, because they have no power. And the kingdom, the fairies and the beastmen were well aware of that, so they did not urge anything.”

Only the sign they are hanging is an empire, but in reality it is less than 30% of the kingdom.
The current empire is so small that it can be believed to be a principality.
The emperor passed away not long ago, there is no heir, the nobles are lethargic, and the people of the empire only pay attention to living and working day by day.

During the First Continental War, soldiers were recruited in the form of volunteers.
Because it was such a low-level army, it had never been properly put into the frontlines, so compared to others, it was a place where the resistance or hostility towards the demons or the east was relatively low.
That is the current state of the Empire, Klaus said.

“That means, unlike kingdoms, empires will be so docile that they will find no resistance. After we entered the kingdom, how much effort have we been making from the beginning to the present to settle public sentiment? But that’s not what the Empire needs. In other words, if you put it in the front and use it for a while, the back of your head won’t be cold, and the probability of being seduced by fairies or beastmen is very low.”

As Klaus said that, everyone let out an aha, and sighed.
The state of the empire was so messed up that I didn’t think it was that important.
The man in front of me had figured out every other detail and was ready to use it.

“On the other hand, if the attack on the Empire is delayed, as I said before, the Beasts and Fairies will come in first to form a defensive line and at the same time try to instill enmity toward the East among the Empire’s people. Coincidentally, there are nobles who are fleeing from the kingdom, so it must be very suitable.”
“I don’t know about the beastmen, but if it’s fairies, they’ll stay like that. Because they are unmatched when it comes to planting enmity towards us demons.”

When Ain subtly expressed his sympathy, the demons nodded in unison.
At least, beastmen tended to hate doing things with their mouths, but fairies were different.
Considering that their whispers made the demons appear to be the descendants of some kind of devil.
Even now, my teeth were grinding and my anger was burning.

“Even in order to apply pressure, we have to get the Empire in our hands. At the same time, we need to make the runaway nobles lock themselves in the land of beasts or fairies, not the land of the empire.”
“Is there any reason you want to do that?”

At Yulia’s question, Klaus nodded his head as if it were natural.
The reason why he wants to eat up the empire and put the fugitive nobles in the middle of fairies and beasts is simple.

‘That’s how we’ll divide and divide even more. I’m so busy biting myself off and fighting that I’m tired of being wary of my surroundings even though the enemy is swarming in front of me!’

Those who were originally living there must be annoyed because the rolling stones keep bothering them.
Conversely, those who have been kicked out will be nervous that they might ignore them and use it as a gift to make peace with each other.
Klaus had deliberately let go of the nobles to take advantage of that part.

‘Anyway, if I go later, everything will be in my hands again.’

Those who died first could still be said to be better.
At least they won’t see the scene where everything they’ve built has completely collapsed and turned to dust.

“… If it is false, I will make a decision by quickly occupying the empire. I’m more worried about who to send than that. In my heart, I want to move, but I feel like I should refrain from moving even to stabilize this place.”

Muttering that, Yulia pointed at Ferdinand and Ashley.
They agreed to give the empire this time without any help or support.
At Yulia’s words, Ferdinand and Ashley both bowed their heads at the same time and shouted.

“I will obey your orders, my King.”
