Chapter 550 – Return of Middle-Earth #7
“Oh oh…!”
Soon, a terrible nightmare monster burst out of the amniotic sac.
“Kiaaaaagh!”
This is Deathfind!
“What an ominous monster!”
Leathery skin close to gray.
It has a human-like torso, but its legs and arms are unusually long. Besides, the face looked like a seahorse, and the tongue sticking out of its long snout was truly repulsive. In addition, it has two horns on its head, similar to those of a sheep.
Above all, the guy’s height is about 2.3m.
It is certain that any brave soldier would fall into a state of panic when faced with such a monster.
ㅡChurureuk!
The guy who saw me took a posture of submission, wagging his long tongue. Yes. Even though I was just born, I know my status and obey myself.
That posture is lying down like a dog and exposing the stomach.
“I am your master.”
“Kick!”
ㅡSsuddam ssuddam.
He confirmed his master-servant relationship by stroking the stomach. He really looked like a monster from a nightmare, but when I saw him flipping his stomach and acting cute, it felt cute.
Of course, I am the only one who feels that way.
“Hhhhh!”
“Sah, save me!”
“Wrong! Wrong!”
The still remaining death row inmates saw the terrifying appearance of Despind and fell into a panic and burst into tears while urinating. Of course, it’s tied up, so it just flops around like a fish on land.
“Hmm.”
It’s a definite fear effect.
I already feel relieved to think that my enemies are so afraid. It would be worth watching if you break the enemy lines with the Gorgon Riders and sortie these Deathfind troops.
Honbibaeksan will run away.
And you can wrap the defeated soldiers with the Lamia cavalry who have infiltrated the rear through mountain maneuvering.
Anyway.
“You foolish thieves who dared challenge my power.”
“Save me! Help me! Heuuuuugh!”
“Make them pay for it! Deathfind! Put them in the mouth of the hive!”
“Kiaaaaagh!”
Desfind rose to his feet with a roar, grabbing the condemned prisoner with his grip, which had sharp claws like a Therizinosaurus.
“Aaaaagh!”
He lifted it up and threw it into the hive-mouth like a dunk shot.
ㅡ Quad gain!
“Everything! Put everything in! Deathfind!”
“Kiaaaaagh!”
Watching Deathfind dispose of death row inmates, he carefully grasped his movements.
Joint maneuvers are not significantly different from humans. The same is true for areas where muscle strength is applied. It would be worth seeing if you put iron armor on your whole body as it is. Who can stop the cruel ironclad giant?
ㅡ go oh
In this way, all death row inmates were converted into the hive’s energy.
“A challenge to my power will never be tolerated.”
Stealing is an act that shakes the foundations of the state.
It is an act of directly challenging me, who will become the ruler of this world.
Those who challenge my power will never be spared. If he’s a king, he has no choice but to do so. All of this is mine and my everything, but the fact that they are trying to infringe on it is the story that I will risk my life and make a life-and-death decision.
So am I, so are my enemies.
“Produce more Gorgons and Deathfinds!”
The surrounding small kingdoms are obviously inferior to us, but if I try to devour them, they will resist fiercely.
It is because I am the aggressor who directly challenges their power. Of course, as the Demon King who will rule Middle Earth, I have no intention of being considerate of other monarchs.
If you surrender, you will be spared; if you resist, you will only be destroyed.
I will take back my power that I entrusted to this world.

ㅡKoo-gu-gu-gu-gu!
The Deathfind unit located in the center of the formation charged. Currently, the guys are in a state of iron armor on the main part of the body. It was quite heavy, and dust rose.
At the same time, the goblin troops on both wings advanced. Then, the Gorgon riders located outside charge.
ㅡBooooong!
Pixies fly around between formations to escort them.
“Kooooo!”
While doing so, I roughly gave my orders to the commanders while firing colorful magic cannons.
Anyway.
It was a really great workout.
“Whoa, that’s really great.”
“Amazing!”
Training with a large number of new weapons. Vera and the saintess, who were standing next to me, marveled greatly at that great majesty.
“The power of Gorgon and Desfind seems beyond imagination. Thinking of placing Desfind in the center… I hate to imagine if I run into them.”
“It is.”
In the meantime, since production has been done, Gorgon and Despind have come together to some extent. So I was able to do such a large-scale training, and the reaction was really good.
It’s good for me to see.
Desfind’s powerful charge would not be able to be blocked by infantry squares. Besides, after charging, you can continue fighting with your body specs. There are even a few minotaurs behind them, but they are useful.
What about Gorgon Rider?
The power of the guys who rushed explosively seemed beyond imagination. It’s to the point where I want to use it in practice.
“Anyway, we’re going to need more of them.”
Vera said so.
“But it has to have energy.”
I’m keeping this one thing in mind.
You have to keep the line.
You should never commit to throwing random humans into the hive as food for lack of energy.
In the short term, it would be beneficial, but in the long term, it would just be a vile target for slaughter.
Whatever you do, don’t do that.
Only death row prisoners are thrown as food for the hive. Changing the people to draw troops? It’s not something to do.
“I think the problem is that the energy sent to the Demon Realm is too big. Can’t we negotiate with Carti?”
Said Vera, carefully lowering her voice.
There’s nothing good about Karti.
“You’re always talking.”
We are negotiating here and there, but the demon world also needs a lot. Besides, they keep sending me useful things, so I can’t cut it down at will.
“It would be nice if there were results. Well, but this should be enough. To subdue the surrounding small kingdoms.”
That’s what it says.
A show of force like this would force the small kingdoms to submit. Or it will be crushed and turned into powder.
Maybe they’ll unite with each other. Diplomacy will be needed in many ways. Mainly to capture the queens and princesses of small kingdoms.
Even if you were a queen or princess of a country, if you met me now, you would have no choice but to surrender.
“Then let’s end today’s training here. Withdrawal orders. Oh, by the way, Vera-sama. How is the human army these days?”
Of course, the human army is also maintaining a certain size. The command was left entirely to Vera.
“The training is going smoothly. The discipline is well established. But I don’t think I will be the opponent of the monster army.”
“It’s good if you have a good discipline.”
If you are going to war with an empire, you need head count. You can strengthen your strength by dispatching monster troops to human troops, so let’s raise them diligently.
“And again, how did the training of reserve forces in each city go?”
“We are in the process of setting the system in place. It will begin soon.”
“All right.”
And I also created a reserve army system.
It’s inefficient to roll a standing army anyway. Hundreds of thousands of standing troops? If those people work outside, consume, and pay taxes, that’s all national development and economic effects.
It’s a standing army, so you can’t capture it.
That is why the reserve army system was devised. Cities and townspeople must undergo military training for two or three weeks a year so that they can be recruited to fight at any time.
How to obey orders from superiors and how to move in formation. And how to use weapons on the battlefield and more. Likewise, drills to gather quickly in case of an emergency call and to move to the assembly point are also included.
In that way, if you reserve all the people of the Kingdom of Culls, it will be very useful when fighting the Empire later.
“Keruk!
“Very good! What do you think!”
“I like the new recruits because they are very disciplined! If that’s enough, I’d like to get on the battlefield a bit and come back to my senses! Keruk!”
Hehe, if you’re going to say that, that’s for sure.”
Buril’s satisfaction is high.
“Ah, Culse oppa!”
“Uh. Karti.”
“Have you finished training? Then let’s put Deathfind and the Gorgons in hibernation. As usual, it consumes some energy. Take out only as much as you need and put it in the hibernation room.”
“Sure. The hibernation room is complete, right?”
“Yes. It was completed last time.”
They are strong, but they consume a bit of energy. So, it’s usually better to put it in a place called the hibernation room.
“Wake it up regularly. You’ll just have to manage it so you don’t starve to death.”
“Exorcism.”
In this way, everything was running smoothly.

Human workers start laying roads, and a fertilizer factory is built with the latest technology from the Demon Realm. Thanks to the work that was derived there, the size of the worker guild grew exponentially. And as the scale has grown, I have been actively raising my voice, and I will have to live while talking well with these worker groups in the future.
Of course, only as much as I need.
I’m not a president, I’m a despot. If you make a request that goes beyond the limit, you should definitely take it and suppress it. When you give those humans a decent amount of freedom, I hope you use it wisely.
For now, this part is left to the saintess.
Because he is very good at dealing with people.
Anyway, that’s what I’m going to do now.
ㅡsssss.
To write a letter to be sent to a neighboring country.
Hehe.”
This is a kind of declaration of war. Will you submit to me, or will you be conquered? A letter that forces you to choose one of two options.
Slowly the time was ripe.
Now is the time to get along well with our neighbors.
After sending the letter, a reply will come.
“Everything is decided then.”
Of course, I did a lot of research during that time.
If a woman is in power or if the likely successor to power is a princess or young lady, a tender alliance proposal will be sent instead of a declaration of war.
“Enough. This is enough.”
