Rimuru ignored the subordinates who were talking about all kinds of contempt and said to Crounpis——
In this way, the flanks of the Demon Kingdom's defense are exposed!
If we want to fight, we have to give up some of the residences of Demon Kingdom residents and the satellite cities that have been built into tourist and trade destinations, as well as some of the repaired railway lines. When we think about the possibility of being destroyed or looted, even if we are confident about the victory of the war,
, It can be rebuilt after the war, Rimuru doesn’t feel good about it.
"Ahem, listen to me." Crownpis continued, "Originally, Coppelia and I discussed letting her pretend to surrender and then stab the empire in the back, but there is a possibility that it will actually turn out to be a surrender."
"Why? The empire showed the power to make Coppelia surrender?" someone asked.
"Actually, I put a surveillance spell on her, so - in short, she seems to be under the spiritual control of the emperor." Cronpis said.
"Is this possible?" Rimuru frowned slightly.
When he met Coppelia at the Demon King's Feast, Ciel told him that Coppelia had two ultimate abilities, the ultimate ability to control life and death and the spirit respectively. Even one of them could easily defeat most of Rimuru's subordinates.
Coppelia, who was part of the top combat force and had twice as much power, was dominated by the emperor like that?
The ultimate ability [Michael, the King of Justice] mentioned in the information given by Damrad is only an ultimate ability, but is it so strong? Or is Damrad not aware of it?
thing?
"Although I think she deliberately let go of her mind in order to deceive the emperor. Just like Hinata can retain her consciousness in her unique skill [Mathematician], her ego is contained in [King of Greed, Mammon].
The possibility is extremely high - after all, it is the ultimate spiritual ability, and it is possible to restore yourself when necessary, but you still have to make plans." Crownpis added.
"Anyway, make a plan to deal with the puppet country Kistau. If we fight directly with the empire, we will teach them a lesson without mercy." Rimuru ordered with a dark face.
The relationship between the Demon Kingdom and Clayman is not bad, and Clayman died because of his involvement in the fight with the Rozo clan. Therefore, Rimuru feels guilty towards the people of the Puppet Kingdom, especially when the target is a cute girl.
Under the circumstances, the guilt doubled.
"Hey, hey, we have a proposal!" Ultima said enthusiastically, "This surrender is not public, it is to catch us off guard if necessary. So according to the original terms of the two countries, in the name of the enemy's imminent attack
Send people to assist in the defense, and if you dare to become an enemy, just kill the replacement defense line. This will prevent the war that Rimuru-sama is worried about from burning into the country!"
"..." Rimuru originally had other ideas in mind, such as using the advantages of monsters in the forest and in the air to deal with enemies in the Jura Forest.
If it doesn't work, we can only abandon the satellite city and implement a plan proposed by Masayuki: create a layer of labyrinth in Ramiris's labyrinth that looks the same as the magic city but is actually full of dangers, and allows members of our own team to resurrect freely in the labyrinth.
If it fails, we can only find a way to lure all the enemy troops into the maze, where there is sufficient combat power. At the worst, we can seal the entrances and exits and trap them to death.
If the enemy's high-end combat power is deployed, even the Destroying World side will have to come out to fight.
At present, he has gained the support of Leon due to the existence of Chloe, and the support of Luminas due to Hinata and Chronoa. Milim is also a friend. If the fight is really that bad, Rimuru will want to ask for help.
and asked them to accept the refugees.
Rimuru looked at Benimaru and Diavolo. These two insiders also agreed with Ultima's proposal which sounded too cheerful.
Indeed, this is the best way to defend the enemy from outside the country.
However, before that——
"Speaking of which, what is the reason why the empire keeps launching wars? Wars must be profitable, right? How do they engage in diplomacy?" He still couldn't help but ask this.
Although the demon country does have great benefits, do you really think there is a chance to get benefits that are higher than the price by fighting multiple demon kings and storm dragons?
Human Muirmeir, Minister of Finance and Minister of Commerce and Propaganda, replied: "The Empire has been expanding externally all the time. It goes to war undeclared against countries it intends to annex. Although it will persuade countries to surrender, it is limited to one time. Once it refuses,
They will attack without mercy."
"How self-righteous and arrogant is this country? It can't make friends in the international community."
"No, um, Your Majesty Rimuru, the empire has not joined the international community at all, nor does it agree with international law. Therefore, the Western countries are very afraid of them. This is why after His Majesty Rimuru established the Demon Kingdom, some small border countries were very willing from the beginning
The reason for establishing diplomatic relations with you."
"I should have known that, not only for business interests, but also to use the Demonic Kingdom as a shield. Does a country that is so domineering really exist? If there was no Veldora here, wouldn't the West have been attacked by them long ago?
?”
"That's right. In fact, history records that they once challenged Lord Veldora, but of course they were defeated."
"Does that mean they have prepared enough combat power to defeat Veldora? How about collecting information on their reasons for launching a war at this point in time and the strength of their preparations? Anyway, let's take a look first." Rimuru said.
This is something that worries everyone. Even the captured Damrad cannot know the current offensive tactics of the Empire because he once held a high position in the Empire. After all, the situation is constantly changing.
Rimuru didn't know either, but when he took out the crystal ball and recorded the video, everyone was really shocked.
It was magic created through atmospheric refraction and reflection. It was like a huge mirror unfolding at the boundary of the atmosphere. The scenery of the Empire reached Rimuru's crystal ball through reflection and was recorded as an image.
As long as it is in the open air, everything can be seen clearly. If it is real-time monitoring, Rimuru can also adjust the position and magnification like using Google Earth on a touch-screen phone.
I always feel like the investigative methods of the past are like a joke.
"It's a great magic. Can you let me play with it? I've thought of a way you will definitely like it." Crownpis said shamelessly.
"Whatever you want, you can learn it after seeing it." Rimuru asked, "So, what's the usage?"
【Don’t you consider using this for peeping? 】
[Tsk, that’s it? What’s so good about viewing from such a poor angle?]
[Is it difficult to set up another reflection point near the ground? A few more intermediate reflection points can also be used to peek into the room. 】
【Do you think outsiders are all magic idiots? 】
The subsequent conversations are limited to the private channel, and the superficial operations have not changed at all.
