In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

Lister naturally saw through her thoughts.

"Do whatever Tamayo wants, if she thinks she can do it."

After saying that, Liszt turned and faced the courtyard.

"Muzan, Nakime, Kanae, Shinobu, I'm going back to my own world."

"see you later."

The next second, Lister vanished from his spot, while Muzan stared blankly at the place where Lister had just been.

Kanae Butterfly looked at the blood in her hand and couldn't help but smile slightly.

She should have harbored hatred towards Liszt, but after spending the past few days together, she simply couldn't bring herself to feel any hatred towards him.

This consideration for everyone is worthy of respect.

If I had the chance, I would really like to see what the villages and towns under Mr. List's rule were like.

"Kanae Kocho, let's begin today's work."

Seeing Muzan looking at her with a cold face, Kanae smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's keep up the good work today."

"This time, it's about treating the patients in the Butterfly Mansion and punishing the designated criminal gangs."

I hope their world will have a better future.

Chapter 86 The Crisis of Intelligence Blockade

Lister was in his office when he returned to Red Maple Territory.

He glanced at the kimono he was wearing, went back to his bedroom, and changed back into his usual aristocratic casual clothes.

Sitting at his desk, looking out at the fine snow, Lister subconsciously began to reminisce about his trip to the Demon Slayer world.

Muzan successfully escaped the threat of sunlight, and his feelings and dependence on him reached their peak, earning him a new achievement reward.

Although the Demon Slayer Corps dislikes him, he has the power to deter them, and with the help of Ubuyashiki's mediation, there won't be any problems. As long as Muzan continues his journey of atonement, their hostility will gradually decrease.

This will create an opening.

By exploiting this loophole, he can influence the Demon Slayer world through legitimate means and obtain its resources.

After all, he did so much not just for his own conscience and to completely win over Muzan.

He also wants to take the benefits that can help Red Maple Territory develop!

Just then, someone handed over a steaming cup of coffee.

Lister took it and sipped it.

"Master, did the operation go smoothly?"

"Yes, it hasn't deviated from the plan."

The rabbit-eared maid Nadia bowed slightly, her eyes filled with reverence and love as she looked at Lister.

"That's great, there won't be any more evil spirits hurting people now."

"Yes... but the most terrifying thing is not the evil spirits that can hurt people at any time."

"This is true in every world."

Lister turned to face the desk.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

During this period, he would take ten minutes or so each day to come back and check if there were any important developments. Now it's time to understand the overall situation.

Suddenly, the half-elf Cortini, dressed in a tight-fitting women's suit, a pencil skirt, black stockings, and flat shoes, appeared on the Flying Thunder God Formation in front of the desk.

She smiled at Lister.

"I'm here to report on the recent situation."

It has been almost a month since Ban defeated the White Bear Clan's army.

He spent nearly twenty days bringing back more than 700 survivors, then discussed in-depth cooperation with Yuri, went to the moon in the ninja world, and then went to the Demon Slayer world to deal with Muzan.

A lot has really happened in just one month.

"After a week, the new residents have adapted to the current environment."

"With ample food supplies this winter, we have focused most of our efforts on educating and training our soldiers."

"Epsilon sent many engineers to discuss how to build Red Maple Territory. Their current plans have expanded to the other side of the Red Maple River."

Kotini's statement was clear and organized.

Red Maple Town is small, and Red Maple Fortress consists of only one hill.

The Epsilon engineers not only planned to expand Red Maple Castle to ten times its original size, making full use of the entire hill, but also intended to expand Red Maple Town a hundred times, building a magnificent city.

To this end, they deployed a large number of surveyors to draw maps of the surrounding area and explore the unknown land across the Red Maple River with the soldiers of Red Maple Territory, striving to make the most of every resource.

It must be said that with professionals on staff, Liszt doesn't need to worry about how to build the high-tech Red Maple Ridge.

"Yuri has prepared the formal written treaty and said he will come to Red Maple Territory this afternoon."

That's it.

Liszt considered it for a moment, then nodded.

"What about the other races?"

"It's been a month, we should have figured something out by now."

At that moment, Nadia, who was standing next to her, answered.

"Master, Elsa, Pauline, and the ninjas are all doing their best to gather intelligence."

"But the situation is not optimistic."

Ok?

Lister was puzzled.

Nadia, Elsa, Betty, and Priscilla, these four ninja maids, share his experience and power, and can all use the Flying Thunder God Technique. How could they not be able to investigate the information?

Kotini came up.

"At first, we followed instructions and remained vigilant against assassins using shadow powers to gather intelligence."

"But no enemies entered the barrier, and Pauline did not detect any traces of shadow power being used around the territory."

"Therefore, I deduced that the alien races must have focused their efforts on annexing the territory of the United States."

Lister nodded.

This is the main reason for the alien race's actions.

The United States occupies a very large territory and is rich in resources, which can support a large population.

If they simply remain in the polar regions, even if the alien races spend another four thousand years, they will never be able to accumulate the power to take revenge.

"I suspect that the alien races will withdraw their forces inward, since the border areas of the Kingdom of Renn, which are adjacent to the snowfields, do not have many resources."

"But when Prie and Betty headed to the border, they discovered vast stretches of black, undead wasteland."

???

Lister suddenly stood up, subconsciously recalling information about the undead from books he had read.

The earliest record of the undead is from four thousand years ago. At that time, due to years of war, too many lives were lost, and mass graves were everywhere.

Over time, mass graves will breed death energy, which will erode the land and transform it into a lifeless wasteland. The undead are born from this wasteland.

They used necromancy based on death energy, which allowed them to raise an astonishing army of skeletons at a very low cost, causing trouble for humans, orcs, and the elven empire at the time.

After the establishment of the United States, in order to prevent the emergence of the undead, the United States adopted cremation, and even the cemeteries were scattered in small plots in the wilderness.

Therefore, the citizens of the United States have never seen the Undead.

The appearance of a dead zone on the border of the Kingdom of Rennes means either that a large number of people died in a short period of time, forming a mass grave, or that an undead mage used death energy to create the dead zone.

Based on the current situation, it is highly likely to be the latter.

It was precisely because the deathly aura permeated the deadly place that any living person entering would be detected, which prevented Lister's maid ninjas from investigating the situation further.

Thinking of this, Lister slammed his fist on the table.

"Don't those guys understand how foolish it was to allow the undead to expand their power?!"

"The undead need the death energy generated by the decay and death of living beings to survive. This alone makes the undead naturally opposed to all life!"

Lister had not expected that the deterrent effect of the Spectre was so great, causing the orcs within the Kingdom of Raine to lift their restrictions on the undead.

The dead land not only served as a barrier to isolate the living, but also allowed undead mages to easily raise an army with necromancy, without feeling any pain even if they suffered losses.

The death of every member of the Orcs is a catastrophe.

Lister knew without a doubt that the orcs had these ideas in mind.

How large is the area of ​​the dead zone?

Nadia replied, "Master, not many, but the undead army is patrolling the border, making it difficult for our people to infiltrate."

“If this continues, the dead zone will be sealed off, and we will no longer be able to obtain any information about the Kingdom of Renn.”

This situation must be stopped!

Lister sensed a crisis.

It would be a great disaster if Red Maple Territory were to become an information island.

But this operation is different from territorial self-defense, and he doesn't want to provoke the alien races and cause a bigger conflict, so asking Ban is not a good choice.

and many more!

Infiltration to obtain intelligence...

What other faction is better at this than Epsilon?
