Chapter 459 – Unite the Kingdom #8
From that day on, a daily routine was added to feed the hold with magic in the form of a little pastime.
Anyway, as the Incubus King, I can replenish my mana through sex, so there is no problem in replenishing the mana I feed to the Holy Dragon.
“Purr…”
It reminds me of the old days as I am injecting magic power into the guy who is drooping as if he is drunk on drugs. When he was in the dungeon, he always gave his men injections.
You just have to tame it like that.
“After.”
After feeding the mana, I headed to the office.
Besides sex and training, I have work.
“Did you eat well?”
Upon entering, the saintess welcomes you.
“They were crazy about eating. Anyway, let’s start the meeting. This agenda is what we did last time.”
“It’s a matter of public safety. I’ve cleaned it up a bit.”
“Ohhh, is that so? As expected, saintess! You’re doing this very well!”
“Huh, as a priest, I’ve done many times creating new departments and putting them into practice. Take a look there.”
“Yes!”
I grabbed the document right away.
We now have to deal with all security issues.
So far, there are no professional security forces in operation. You’re using the military.
However, since it will be a unified kingdom in the future, there is no reason to entrust security to the military. So now I’m thinking of setting up a security guard. It’s an organization made mostly of humans.
To put it simply, he’s a cop.
For now, as far as my hand can reach, the Kingdom Security Forces. And the local side plans to operate the city security force like a local police system… There are so many things to worry about. Running a country is a really big thing.
“Hmm.”
Originally, each lord’s army managed public order, killed monsters, and went to war. But it is a remnant of feudalism. Now that there is no lord, there is a need to separate the army and the police.
“First of all, the former territory… No, now it should be called a city. Each city will have to have a chief of peace and a district judge to operate it.”
“With the Minister of Peace and the Minister of Justice in the center.”
“The center is the capital. It’s right here. The Minister of Peace and the Minister of Justice should be chosen from among our members.”
“Then, let’s have a saintess serve as the Minister of Justice. As a saintess of the Church of Kuls, I think it’s reasonable since it’s going to be a theocratic country anyway.”
Right now, even the code of conduct was an appropriate transformation of the doctrine of the Goddess Church.
The state religion is Kulse, and I use religion as a means of ruling. Then, naturally, there is no choice but to become a theocratic country. It is a political system in which there is no separation of church and state.
“Oh my God! There’s more work again!”
Hehe, that’s how it was originally.”
I continued to review.
In the end, if we want to extend our political power to the provinces, we have no choice but to dispatch professional personnel and keep them there. They set up a police station and hired high-ranking officials. Oh yeah. Even if it is to recycle the existing manpower, I want to educate them and do something very difficult.
“It’s amazing just to create an organization, spread it, and promote it.”
But it has to be done.
This kind of thing needs to be laid at least in the early stages of national operation. The later you start doing it, the more difficult it will be. Now, you can see that it is setting the foundation for something.
In that way, I decided the direction of policy while holding a meeting on national management.
* *
A newly organized recruiting unit under the command of the great Demon King. They are now marching along with the ascending trains of men.
“Keruk. I don’t have the Demon King, but I think it’s worth it.”
Twenty-seven goblins, who can be said to be the elite veteran foot soldiers of the Demon King’s Army, said.
“Kureuk. It’s true.”
Elite imp Imjiro giggled while talking.
Twenty-seven-year-old is a goblin great shield soldier of the senior line who brought the demon king from the dungeon as an early member. He has such good character and skill that he is trusted by the Goblin Lord Buril.
Im Ji-ro is also calm and rational for an imp, so he is trusted by Imp Lord Im Soong-i.
“We should be able to do well on our own. Keruk.”
“Kreuk kreuk kkeuk. It’s clear. We’re the invincible Demon King of Culse.”
Without the Demon King.
It was his first time going on an expedition to a distant place with only his troops, so he was quite nervous, but once he was put in, there was nothing particularly difficult.
Just look at it now
Lukata, the Dark Elf platoon commander, is in charge of communication with the humans in that train.
So you just have to march.
“Still, dealing with humans is still difficult. Keruk.”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlit. But, those humans are not so good. We were taught to nod and greet each other when we met eyes.”
“But it’s uncomfortable with each other… Humans greet each other awkwardly, but they seem to be reluctant to us. Keruk.”
“That’s right, kkeureuk.”
It’s still awkward to act like humans. Should I say that the atmosphere is awkward with each other? However, the Demon King said it would be all right in the future.
ㅡ Booung!
Soon after, Pixie Nancya, who was scouting the area, returned.
“There’s nothing special around! In fact, there are no enemies anymore, so it’s going to be a comfortable march!”
Nancy is also a pixie who is trusted by Serinyu, the Pixie Queen. She’s a friend from Pixie Village. She is meticulous, so she observes what is on the ground during flight.
“Keruk. Thank you.”
“Gureuk! I was born!”
Anyhow, it doesn’t seem to be a problem.
Then the procession stopped.
“Today’s camp here. At this rate, they say they’ll arrive in about a week.”
The Dark Elf platoon leader, Lucata, came and said that. Lucata was a warrior who lived in the capital of the Dark Elf Queen in the past. He has been giving his allegiance ever since he was incorporated into the Demon King’s Army.
“Keruk. It was hard to communicate with humans. Platoon commander Lukata.”
Twenty-seven-year-old smiled and said, and Lukata scratched the back of his head and replied.
“It’s nothing.”
“Kerukkereuk. Then I’ll set a night watch.”
“According to military law, the platoon leader does not stand watch. Twenty-seven.”
“I can’t stand the envy, Keruk!”
The military atmosphere was not stiff at all.
Different races and units from the beginning. It’s not because it’s a mixed dispatch unit. Although they have discipline, they are all comrades who trust each other.
“Kerukkereuk!”
That’s how the recruits marched along with the ascending carriage.
A week later
Arrived at the target city.
When entering the city, people who came out to see are buzzing. It was because rumors spread that an army of monsters was coming.
“Ohh…They are.”
“An army of monsters.”
“The saintess said that she teamed up with the monsters to drive out the evil angels… Are they them?”
A gaze that is not as favorable as it is.
But for times like these, there are things I’ve learned. The goblin, the 27-year-old, immediately entrusted the weapon to Lim Ji-ro and approached the humans.
“Keruk. That’s right. We were inspired by the saintess’ words and decided to fight together.”
Flat tone.
“Huh?!”
“The goblin speaks…!”
Humans are dismayed
Looking at these people, the 27-year-old continued.
“Kerreung. Humans. Let’s get along. We’re here to work.”
“What, what are you here for?”
The old human being bewildered receives the words.
“It’s about clearing the monsters around. Keruk.”
“Clean up?! Aren’t you a monster too?”
“Keruk. Don’t equate us with the wild monsters. We are the ones who have awakened to the saintess’ words. Don’t you humans also differentiate between countries and identities? We are the same.”
“Yeah, that’s right…”
Seeing him speak more fluently than expected, humans opened their mouths in awe. He said it was an army of monsters, and he seemed to speak better than most human mercenaries.
“We’re leaving.”
“Huh…!”
“U-That’s the Dark Elf…!”
Spectators catch their breath as the beautiful Dark Elf appears. So, the recruiting units moved again.
There is also a church of the Kulse religion built here. This is where the newly organized clergy are seated.
The Dark Elf Platoon Leader, Lukata, headed to the church with his troops.
“I see! Is that an order from the central government? Of course we will support you!”
A Dark Priest in the church welcomes his troops.
“Thank you. All we want is the current status of monster damage… And a simple job placement.”
“Alert?”
“We will capture the monsters and transport them to the center. We will have to lock the captured monsters in cages and manage them for a while, but we need that manpower.
“I’ll make arrangements! Oh, I’ll look for accommodation separately!”
“Thank you.”
To the Dark Priest, who was full of loyalty to the Order, the monster army was like a kind of crusade.
“Thank you! I can feel the strong demonic energy from you! It is proof that you are a follower of the Culse Church! Shouldn’t we help and buy together!”
“Good.”
I went to the accommodation I was guided to and unpacked my things.
“It’s getting late, so the recruiting operation will start tomorrow. Since we’ve entered the city, there won’t be any need for a night watch. However, personal actions are prohibited. We’ll go to a restaurant in a little while to have a meal. After that, we’ll wash up and go to bed.”
“I understand, Keruk.”
“Kreak.”
“Let’s eat and go to the bakery! I want to eat bread!”
“Well? As for the budget…”
“I brought the money! Let’s eat together!”
“Keruk! Nancy is the best!”
Troop morale is high.
After having eaten and finished dessert, the recruits went to their quarters and went to sleep.
After taking a day off, I receive information from the church early in the morning. Immediately after that, the recruitment operation began.
“Now, this is the operation area! A lot of goblins and kobolds are coming out and stealing the crops! We will enlist all of them in the name of the Demon King! Got it!”
“Hurray!”
“Keruk!”
“Kkeuk!”
Lucata gave the order as platoon leader.
“Then, to the mission! Conduct olfactory reconnaissance! Nancya conducts flight reconnaissance!”
While imps and pixies scouted, goblins checked the nets and shackles. Now, in the name of the Demon King, we will recruit new recruits.
At the thought of seeing fresh recruits, the recruits had a subtle anticipation.
