Chapter 542 – Days in the Underworld #10
To be honest, it’s a little sad, but my home is not here. I must return to Middle-earth, where my family in its truest sense awaits.
My wives and women. And guys like my brother and my men. Everyone is waiting for me, so I have to go back without any problems. Of course, as long as we’re going back, let’s make sure to show our growth.
No vision there.
ㅡChohak!
That’s how I continued the battle with the Knight Summoning Body.
ㅡQuaang!
ㅡCoooung!
Actually, when I attack him or cross swords, I feel the shock.
“Huh!”
ㅡslurreuk.
If you make a mistake and allow an attack, his body will scatter like smoke and there will be no damage at all. As long as it was in this format, I quickly raised my swordsmanship proficiency while fighting several times without getting hurt at all.
“Big.”
“You’ve worked hard, Culse-oppa. When you fight against a Pandemonium knight, your win rate is over 80%. At this rate, it can be said that Culse-oppa is more than one step ahead.”
“At first, it was about 60 percent.”
While training hard, I raised my win rate to about 20%. It is very encouraging to have such a win rate against a guy who is about the level of a demonic knight.
“Whoa.”
He sat down and recollected the battle with the knight while saving his mana. After spending some time like that, I talked to Karti again.
“Then Carti. Shall we plan a plan to invade Middle Earth soon?”
“Yes! I have something roughly in mind!”
“Ohh! Say something!”
Of course, the Pandemonium has also been investigating how to invade Middle-earth to do better using the information obtained so far.
Karti told me that information.
“Currently, Culce oppa has taken over two large kingdoms and even the Elven Forest. According to the investigation, if the resources from there are used efficiently, the number of people under Culce’s control can be increased by at least 10%.”
“Ingura.”
Also.
You have to look at it from now on. We need to increase the national weight class while increasing the population.
“Population is important, Culse. Now, what Culse must occupy is not the small kingdoms nearby. I think that’s basic.”
“Human Empire.”
“Huh.”
Human empire.
You have to go there.
“According to the investigation, the human empire is currently in a state of isolation. So there isn’t much information, but this one thing is certain.”
“…”
“The land is large and the population is very large.”
Very simple words.
But it’s such a tough enemy.
“How much is it roughly?”
“To the extent that if Culse operated the army like he is now, he would suffer a crushing defeat!”
“Ku! It’s strong!”
With our current strength, we would be able to bring all the nearby weak countries to their knees. Because our power is strong.
But that huge empire is a different story.
Since the land is large and the population is large, if a war breaks out, there is a high probability that a war will literally happen.
Nothing more, nothing less, like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, Eulji Mundeok of Goguryeo wiped out 300,000 troops of Sui Dynasty… Of course, that was Eulji Mundeok’s ghostly strategy and tactics, but it also happened because Sui Dynasty was shoveling.
Anyway.
It will take that much time to put a great empire with limited information into my grasp. I need to hold on tight and stabilize all my forces, let alone scrutinize.
You have to be strong enough to face a big enemy.
“But it’s okay. If you put in the time, you can do it. Culse oppa’s choice was really reasonable. Domination using religion. With that power that binds humans to the same values and makes them accept even monsters as allies, the internal stability is very solid. I’ll be able to chop it up.”
“Yes.”
“So let’s expand this religion even more. Send priestesses who worship Culse oppa to various places, install holy relics that spread magical power there, and build the Evil Eye agency. That’s how Culse oppa’s forces are firmly united. Let’s do it and connect organically!”
Connection!
“After that, you just have to raise your weight with an army mass-produced with demonic technology and equip yourself with a force equal to that of the human empire.”
Equal force!
“It’s a demonic technology. It’s great, but can we mass-produce an army like that?”
“Of course. If Culse oppa’s power grows and he can extract a lot of human life energy accordingly, that much will be possible. We will be able to command a mixed army composed of humans, monsters, and monsters or demonic beings.”
I feel like a real devil.
“Actually, we’re still producing monster armies like goblins and kobolds at hatcheries, right? Think of it as further development.”
Hehe, that’s right.”
I’m literally producing monster legionnaires.
It’s several times more efficient than raising humans and turning them into soldiers. Originally, he would lose all public sentiment the moment he did something like this, but the Culce cult embraces even monsters. Is it possible.
“When you go back, quickly subjugate the neighboring countries. Absorb or convert them all and enslave them.”
“There are many better ways than that.”
After swallowing the country, you can set up a woman of the right power class as a queen and give it orders.
“Huh-huh! I’ll only trust Culce oppa! Now, anyway!”
ㅡAww!
Carti opened the map.
A map of the human empire.
“The empire created the borders with this huge wall. If you take this alone, you’ve completed your rule in Middle-earth. They say there’s something beyond this, but it’s on the level of a weak country or a savage land, so it won’t matter too much.”
Dominate
It seems like it will come into my hands to some extent now.
“The demons who ruled Middle-earth. Even calling them the Great Demon King would not disappoint at all. Carti believes that Culse oppa will become that kind of being.”
Carti is actually a child who may be older than Hazel-sister, but the two eyes that are looking at me now have the pure faith unique to a child.
Whatever it is, this is my sister.
Hehe, thank you. Then.”
Good.
“Shall we move to become the Great Demon King?”
“Huh!”
Let’s make good use of all the time left in the Demon Realm.
* *
However, a very essential schedule came up before I went back.
That’s right.
“Huh-huh, Culse. I’m really happy.”
I was going on a date with the Duchess alone… The Duchess, with a pod in my hand, walked slowly and looked at my face.
“Actually, it was my wish. To go on a date with Culse like this.”
“That’s right?”
“Yeah. Are you happy to go on a date with your mom?”
“Of course!”
The Duchess was very beautiful today.
Especially the clothes. Naked is probably the most beautiful, but today’s duchess was dressed very well in a dark dress for a date. The high-ranking demon-like appearance naturally draws attention.
“And well, your mother’s clothes are also very beautiful. She is truly a goddess of darkness.”
“Ah, Culse. To say such a thing.”
The impressed Duchess hugged me.
“Mom is really happy.”
“Uh… Me too.”
A date with the Duchess isn’t bad either. To be honest, I feel love. But the problem is that this place is a demon world.
A dating place in the demon world.
Also, what are the tastes of demons who enjoy dating?
It’s literally so bad taste.
ㅡGiyaaaaak.
ㅡkaaaaak.
ㅡIt’s a lot.
Large garden.
Underneath the beautiful and antique stone floor we were stepping on, various magical plants from the demon realm were blooming. Spectacular and bizarre plants that cannot be seen at all in Middle-earth.
The problem was that the flowers all had teeth on them. Razor-like teeth protruding from the inside of the flower petals… Well, even that is demonic, so I can just skip it.
But now those flowers are eating the demons.
“Geuuuuu…!”
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Kahak!”
They are warriors of different clans.
Foolish beings who invaded at the same time that our Belacrue clan was concentrating their efforts on Middle-earth.
The Duchess threw some of the captives into this nightmare garden, and as a result, these fearless demon warriors suffered terrible torture with toothy flowers growing all over their bodies.
“The flowers are pretty, Cules.”
“…Looks like good nutrients came in.”
“They are demons who have invaded the land of our blood relatives.
Hehe, it is as you say.”
To me, the female worker is a lewd and sexy mother, no, she is a kind mother.
In fact, as you already know, she is the Duchess of the Demon Realm.
Demons who have reached the pinnacle.
Of course, it has that kind of power and cruelty.
“Ugh…!”
“Quaaaaagh!”
The number of demons sacrificed for flowers was in the thousands. Thousands of demons are being eaten while having flowers with teeth blooming all over their bodies.
Because it’s a scary thing too.
“Nevertheless, mother.”
“Yes?”
“My mother is more beautiful than those flowers.”
“Uh, oh my… Culls…”
Still, since it was a date, I said something nice to the duchess. No matter what, it is true that she is beautiful.
“Thank you. Culls is really handsome too.”
“It’s because my mother gave birth to me like this.”
“Is that so?”
ㅡ Kwak.
After saying that, the duchess took my arm.
“Culse. Will you listen to your mother even after you return to Middle-earth?”
“Of course. Oh, but mother? As I am also the king of Middle-earth, please respect that.”
“Yeah. I’ll do that. Because Kyles is also an adult.”
Actually, I wanted to say this.
Please acknowledge me as the master of Middle-earth. I’ve always wanted to say it, but I’m a bit reluctant, but I’m on a date and I’m in a great mood, so let’s say it.
“Middle-earth belongs to Culls. It is managed by Culls.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“Yes. Culls is a child with a strong sense of responsibility. Let him rule well.”
“I will!”
“But Culls.”
“Yes?”
“Can’t we forget that mothers are more important than middle-earth?”
ㅡ Hwareuk.
For a moment, it seemed as if yellow eyes were pouring out of the duchess’s eyes.
“Because mom wants to be the most precious person in the Culls… Huh? Got it?”
What?
What about this chill?
