The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　"I apologize to Mr. Guang. Of course, if you have any needs, please feel free to let us know, and we will definitely meet them."

　Upon hearing this, Rimuru, Rigurd, and the others all looked at the little girl. Because Sophia meant no harm and she was simply too weak, the little girl's attention was quickly diverted by the desserts and snacks. She no longer cared about what Sophia had done, and focused intently on stuffing cake into her mouth. With a ring of cream around her lips, the little girl looked up blankly at Arashi and Shuna, her white beard-like appearance causing Arashi and Shuna to burst out laughing. The little girl followed Shuna's gaze and looked at Rimuru and Benimaru, then glanced at Sophia again, before burying her head in her food.

　Ligurd bit his tongue to suppress a laugh and explained, "Well, Lord Guang, Miss Alvis and Miss Sophia apologized for their offense. Do you have any other requests?"

　After licking all the cream off her lips, the little girl said confidently, "Meat, delicious meat!"

　Alvis was somewhat surprised by the little girl's answer. She thought there would be some unreasonable request. However, since it was such a simple request, they had no problem with it. After Alvis made the promise, the little girl's expression changed to OVO. Just when everyone thought that this would be the end of it, Gazel Dovagon led his Pegasus Knights here.

　"Oh, looks like I've come at the wrong time?"

　"So it's King Gazel Dovagon. I've long heard of the close relationship between the armed nation of Dovagon and the Jura Grand Alliance. It seems that's true." Alvis took out a folding fan, covered her mouth slightly, and said jokingly.

　“Hehe, logically speaking, this Rimuru is also my junior brother, and as a newly emerging nation, they have done a very good job. From both a moral and logical standpoint, as a neighboring and friendly country, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with their behavior.” Gazel Dovagon spoke flawlessly.

　“That was what King Gazell Dovagon said, and we came with the same purpose,” Alvis also stated their objective.

　"So you two are here too, young friend Guang and Miss Lan. But what brings you here?"

　"That was just a minor incident, wasn't it, Lord Rimuru?"

　“Ah, yes, that’s true. We just had a friendly exchange with the delegation. However, I still appreciate King Gazel Dovagon’s concern. As you said, our work here is still lacking. Besides, we shouldn’t stay at the entrance. The banquet hall has been prepared for a long time. So, let’s go and enjoy the banquet, shall we?”

　No one would refuse to attend the banquet, and with the help of the Melalus, the ingredients prepared for this banquet far exceeded the local standards. The finest beef brisket and offal were stewed in a stone pot with onions, chili peppers, and peppercorns, making it fragrant, spicy, and appetizing. Freshly cut beef and beef tongue were also sliced ​​thinly and placed on leaves, next to a red-hot iron pan, where people could fry or grill the meat as needed. As for the other oversized pieces of meat, they were cut into bite-sized pieces and grilled over a high flame. By the time everyone sat down, the meat was already golden brown and crispy, and after being sprinkled with fennel and peppercorns, the enticing aroma filled the room.

　In addition, there is a deluxe seafood platter consisting of striped salmon, multifin saury and balloon octopus, topped with a broth made from squeezed lemon, mint, onion and apple. Of course, besides these dishes, there are also the new drinks from the Jura Grand Alliance. This is one of Rimuru's goals, which is to open up the market in the monster country.

　At first, Alvis and Gazeel Dovagon didn't understand why the little girl wasn't sitting with them, but then they understood.

　Despite the hospitality extended to the guests, just as Rimuru had anticipated, the delegation from the Beast Kingdom of Yurasania and Gazel Dover immediately took a liking to the drinks. Both sides expressed their desire to cooperate, so Rimuru opportunely mentioned the cooperation with the merchant Momail. Of course, Momail was only responsible for sales to human society, while the Jura Alliance, based on the young girl's intentions, would provide drinks for sale to every country or friendly country in the Demon Kingdom.

　Gazel Dovergun was quite looking forward to the Jura Grand Alliance making this matter bigger and stronger, after all, the Kingdom of Falmus, with which they had the most trade dealings, was no good.

　Rimuru explained that it was the little girl who gave the order, and that he had recently helped her before...

　A friend was handling some matters after her death, so she didn't have time to take charge of these trades. Gazel Dovagon was initially worried, but he was surprised when he saw the contract scroll.

　Gazeel Dovagon and Alvis all looked to the other side. Lanmei was picking up a piece of roasted meat and placing it near the little girl's mouth. The little girl took a big bite, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it. Zhucai also cut off a large piece of roasted chicken. The chicken was juicy inside and smelled tempting after being sprinkled with onions and peppers. The little girl's mouth was full, and she kept chewing.

　Judging from the little girl's eating speed, this table of food was not enough for her at all. Gazel Dovergon and Rimuru were no longer surprised by her appetite, but Alvis and the others were shocked as it was the first time they had ever seen such a thing.

　"Excuse me, my next question may be a bit presumptuous, but I still want to ask, Lord Rimuru, who exactly is that little fellow you call Lord Hikari?"

　Gazel Doveron smiled and downed the breath wine in his glass in one gulp. Rimuru commented that this was the proper way to drink, and then drank a large glass of witch's apple wine. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Miss Alvis is wondering about Lord Kō's strength, and why your Demon King Carrion would ally with a small country like ours, right?"

　"I'm sorry, that's true. Lord Carrion seems to be investigating something, so we haven't been able to meet him. This visit was arranged long ago. Of course, this is not to look down on you, it's just out of curiosity."

　"I understand. It's a simple matter. What do you think of the Storm Vortex's strength?"

　Sophia shook her head. Alvis said, "Invincible below the Demon King, and even above the Demon King, if not one-for-one, then they are still quite powerful among the Demon Kings."

　"Can you imagine that Lord Guang was completely unharmed, and that his magic power did not change significantly after he destroyed the Storm Demon Vortex?"

　Sofia jumped to her feet, but fortunately Alvis's lower body was a snake, so her reaction wasn't too violent. However, in their eyes, Rimuru's statement was undoubtedly an exaggeration of the young girl's strength. But Alvis quickly realized something.

　When the young girl knocked Sofia away during their first meeting, she didn't use any magic or special skills. She brought Sofia to the brink of death without anyone noticing. Even after that, she didn't seem tired or uncomfortable at all. This is enough to show that the young girl is a very strong character. But is she really as terrifying as Rimuru said?

　Sophia picked up the bottle and drank it all in one gulp. "Hey, snake woman, stop talking about me. If you're so tough, go and fight her."

　Seeing that Sofia was somewhat drunk, Alvis ignored her and Gazel Dovagon added, "I was there at the time, so I can tell you the facts, that's it."

　Alvis looked at Gazel Dovagon expectantly, as if hoping to hear the answer she anticipated, but unfortunately she couldn't.

　“It is indeed as Rimuru said, and that little one’s appearance is not her true form. You can tell us that, Rimuru.”

　Rimuru nodded helplessly. "Since Gazel Dovergon has said it, it is indeed true. Since the Beast Kingdom of Yurasania and the Armored Kingdom of Dovergon have signed a friendly treaty with our Jura Grand Alliance, I don't want to keep this a secret. I don't know what race the true form of Light is, but the fact is that the amount of magic power that Light possesses is, in my opinion, no less than that of the Demon Lord Milim."

　"What? It's not inferior to Milim?"

　"Are you serious? But why isn't she the Demon King?"

　Rimuru shrugged. "Look at her like that. Do you think she'd be interested in the Demon Lord's position?"

　The little girl, having eaten too much, squinted her eyes comfortably. Seeing the little girl's silly appearance, Alvis found it even more unbelievable.

　"It certainly doesn't seem like it. No wonder she wanted meat; it turns out she really just wanted to eat?"

　"Yes, that's right. Master Guang has a very good personality, and there are only two things that will make her angry. The first one is something you've all probably guessed, and that's stealing her food. If anyone dares to lay a hand on her, believe me, no one can save that person. The only outcome will be that they won't even be able to collect the food with a shovel. The second one, I heard from Miss A-Lan, is that you can't touch her horns. As for her tail, you can touch it once you get to know her, but it's best not to touch it at all if you're a stranger. I believe no one would dare to touch it casually."

　Alvis laughed and said to Sofia, "Perhaps Rimuru stopped attacking because he saw you were about to die. If what Lord Rimuru said is true, you will die a terrible death."

　Sophia's face flushed instantly. As one of the three beast warriors under the Demon King Carrion, White Tiger Claw had never suffered such humiliation before. However, she could only grit her teeth and swallow this humiliation. "You... are right... Hmph, using such methods to hide oneself is hardly honorable."

　Rimuru quietly picked up the salmon roll on the table without saying a word. It was better not to talk about the fact that no one could get within ten meters of the young girl after she revealed her true form.

　The next day, after breakfast, Alvis and Gazel Dovagon would discuss the cooperation on the alcohol and specialty products before leaving, since the Jura Grand Alliance's drinks and some specialties were very popular with both parties. As for how to sign the contract, Rigurd brought up the contract that his young daughter had revised earlier.

　"Oh, this system of separating rights and responsibilities is quite good. After clarifying the responsibilities of each party, those cumbersome procedures will not be generated."

　"Not bad, this profit-sharing ratio is also very good. It is meticulously determined based on the skill level of both parties and the proportion of goods. The person who came up with this must be a genius."

　“Oh, and this one too, Miss Alvis, the Dwarf King, I think this one is very suitable.”

　The three of them thought the contract scroll that Rigurd brought was excellent. When asked who had modified it, Rigurd said it was the young girl who had modified it. Rimuru was shocked and reverted to his original form. Gazel Dovergun and Alvis, on the other hand, began to think about it. After all, this meant that the young girl was not as foolish as she seemed. Judging from the contract scroll, the young girl was also quite capable of governing the country.

　As for the young girl, Grossis was almost exhausted.

　As instructed by Black Panther Fang Bio, Grucis would work hard here to repay the tolerance of the Jura Grand Alliance. As for his choice, he naturally joined the Wolf Demon Squad. However, on his first day in office, he was pulled over to hunt with the little girl. At first, Grucis was a little puzzled as to why the little girl had to bring so many people with her when she hunted alone.

　Soon he understood.

　Looking at the mountain of prey piled up on the ground, including wild goats, pink-haired pigs, blue venomous snakes, and giant tigers, Grusis swallowed hard and then, urged by Gobuta, carried the prey one by one onto the cart.

　"Bang!" "Moo!" "Bang bang!" The sounds of massive objects crashing and screams still echoed. A moment later, the young girl emerged from the forest dragging a huge, ferocious bull. Grussis counted them; there were thirteen ferocious bulls in total. He could already imagine how exhausted he would be after dragging these things back.

　Of course, this was not the most surprising thing. What surprised him the most was that, judging from the wounds and the condition of the prey, they were all killed with a single blow, all clean and swift kills. Afterwards, the little girl easily grabbed the tail of the ferocious bull and dragged it out of the forest, then easily threw it onto the cart, causing the axle to make a sound of being unable to bear the weight.

　"Hey, stop standing there, hurry up and move it."

　"Oh, oh, oh, I'm coming, I'm coming."

　Inside the Jura Grand Alliance, Yhorm looked at Gruxus, who was collapsed on the ground, and asked, "What happened to you?"

　Grusis struggled to open his eyes. "Is this what your guards do? Transporting goods, butchering prey, chopping wood. The guards should be riding behind the Fangwolf Clan and patrolling the Jura Forest. Why, why has it turned out like this?"

　Yum chuckled slyly and said, "This is the real Jura Grand Alliance. But it also means we'll be having a feast soon. To be honest, I never expected those black cats to be such good cooks. Shall we take a bath together before we eat?"

　Grucis sat up abruptly, pointed behind Yhorm, and Yhorm turned around to meet the piercing gaze of the old man, who couldn't help but shiver. "You brat, go and practice your swordsmanship properly. You'll be considered a master when you can withstand a single sword strike from Lord Guang."

　"No, that won't do. Can I take your sword? I'll die if Lord Guang strikes me."

　"Enough with the nonsense. It's better to die at the hands of Lord Guang than at the hands of an unknown enemy."

　Indeed, as Yhorm said, the subsequent feast was very lavish, and according to Gobuta, it seemed to be like this every day. Grucis suddenly felt that being this tired was actually quite good.

　P.S.: Vending machines are an important part of Japanese culture. Statistics show that there's one vending machine for every 23 people in Japan, and you can buy almost anything from them, including cars, vegetables, underwear, hot ramen, eggs, and even batteries! And everyone probably thinks the spherical dome in the middle of an escalator is there to prevent people from falling, right? Yes, it actually is to prevent people from slipping!

　PS2: Have a wonderful and pleasant day, everyone!

　PS3: July is over, August is here! Shouldn't everyone vote and give the authors something in return? Hehe~ Love you all!

　Volume 1: 362 - Games and Strangers

　Inside the arena specially prepared by the Jura Grand Alliance, Benimaru, Shion, Hakuro, Souei, Gabiru, Rimuru, Ranga, and Gerald stood nervously opposite the young girl, who stared at them expressionlessly.

　The scene seemed to suggest to anyone that the young girl was doomed to lose, given that she was surrounded by so many people. In reality, it was the opposite; the young girl was the one who surrounded them all.

　"Gobuta, isn't this going a bit too far? No matter how strong Lord Guang is, facing an attack from seven people alone, not to mention the difference in physical strength, even if Lord Guang is really strong, his magic power will eventually be exhausted in a battle of attrition."

　After signing a treaty of friendship and a trade agreement, the delegation from the Beast Kingdom of Jurassonia and King Gazel Dovergon of the armed nation of Dovergon left the Jura Grand Alliance. During the banquet, King Gazel Dovergon thoughtfully offered some advice to Rimuru, including the suggestion that while the young girl was indeed very strong, she would be unable to cope with a multi-nation attack on her alone, and that at that time, they would only be a burden to her.

　After the banquet, Rimuru summoned Benimaru, Hakuro, and others to discuss the issue in detail. As King Gazel Dovergon had said, Benimaru, Hakuro, and the others unanimously agreed that it was a potential problem.

　So after that, whenever they had the chance, they would have a real fight with the little girl. This was because they knew that if they fought with a playful attitude, they would not become stronger. As for how they persuaded the little girl, that depends on the demands they made.

　If the young girl can keep them from getting up without killing them, they will do their best to satisfy her appetite for the next week, including but not limited to meat, sweets, and alcohol. Although this is how it usually is, the young girl is kind, so she usually maintains a self-sufficient state. However, since someone is bringing her food, she doesn't mind.

　"You'll see in a little while," Gobuta said unhurriedly. He and Rigurd were carrying a large amount of healing potions prepared by Rimuru, which were essentially first aid. They would quickly go to the injured person and spray the healing potions after the little girl knocked them down. As for why they were so sure that the little girl would win, it was because in the previous few times, Rimuru and the others couldn't even touch the little girl's clothes.

　With Rimuru at the head, considering that the previous attempts to break through had failed, Rimuru decided to take the initiative to control the enemy, while the others would then deal damage. This was one of the solutions proposed by the Great Sage, even though the Great Sage gave a success rate of only 1/14000605.

　Rimuru and Benimaru exchanged a glance, their minds in perfect harmony. Benimaru immediately conjured a black fireball in his hand, while Ranga leaped high into the air, roaring as he unleashed a burst of lightning from the horn above his head, striking the little girl. Rimuru, on the other hand, flung out a ball of white silk—the Sticky Wire skill he had acquired through devouring. The silk instantly wrapped around the little girl's body. At the same time, Rimuru used his magic to block, and then the jet-black lightning and blazing flames exploded together at the little girl's feet.

　"How was it? Did you take it down?"

　Gobuta glanced at Grusis with disdain, casually plucked a blade of grass from the side and stuffed it into his mouth. "It's not that simple. Although Lord Guang's clothes look like they could be torn with the slightest force, his defense, tsk tsk, I could probably break through them even if I used magic all day."

　The platinum-gold figure stood out like a piercing ray of dawn through the darkness of the night. The little girl flicked her tail, parting the dust around her, and countless platinum-gold scales emerged from her body. Rimuru knew that his magical interference had no effect on the little girl. "Gerald, Shion!" Rimuru had anticipated this situation. After shouting, Gerd immediately raised his shield made of the scales of the Storm Demon Vortex and slammed it into the little girl. Shion stepped on Gerd's shoulder, jumped into the air, and raised her broad blade to slash down at the little girl.

　"Bang!" Gerud flew straight out like a cannonball. The monster, covered in super-hardened scales and possessing a pair of claws strong enough to tear the sky, gradually dissipated and transformed back into the appearance of a little girl. This was another skill that the little girl had learned: partial transformation. She could now transform a part of her body back to its original form at will, or transform her whole body back into the appearance of the World Lord, and then transform back again.

　"Gerald, log off!" Gobuta immediately used the shadows to quickly reach the unconscious Gerold, dragged him to a safe place, and sprinkled a healing potion on him.

　Although Grusis couldn't see what the monster looked like, he saw Gerud fly away like a weed in a whirlwind. To be honest, he felt that Gerud's abilities were much higher than his own. In terms of physique, magic power, and martial arts, Gerud would at least be a three-beast warrior in the Beast King Warriors. Yet, such a character couldn't even last a single move against the little girl.

　A clang rang out, the metallic clashing of metal striking metal. Grusis covered his ears and looked towards the center of the open space. The little girl lashed out with her tail, blocking Shion's downward-slamming blade. The thorns on her tail snapped shut, preventing Shion from pulling the sword away. But abandoning the blade was not an option for Shion—no, she had no choice. Shion wanted to pull the little girl closer, but the little girl's tail twisted, the powerful force transferring to the hilt, nearly causing her to drop the sword. But in that moment of distraction, the little girl's white boot landed...

　On Shion's body.

　Shion, OUT! Rigurd immediately went over and dragged Shion aside, then fed her the healing potion.

　In just a few minutes, two generals were lost. In a real battlefield, this would test not only the soldiers, but also the generals in command.

　Rimuru immediately notified everyone to activate Plan B. Haku and Soei vanished from their spots, while Gabiru flew into the air with his water vortex gun, looking for an opportunity. The little girl stared blankly at the group in front of her, wondering why they weren't attacking, when Haku and Soei appeared on either side of her.

　The rapidly flying blade swung down, but the little girl reacted even faster. "Bang!" After sparks flew, the long blade was actually bounced back. Not only did Bai Lao and Cangying's slashes have no effect, but they also made their own arms numb. Just as Bai Lao and Cangying were about to withdraw their swords, the little girl bit Bai Lao's blade, leaving terrifying teeth marks on it. Before Cangying could even sneak into the shadows, he was slapped away by a somewhat familiar giant dragon claw and crashed heavily onto the solid ground.

　Old Bai, Cangying, log off! Now it was Gruxus's turn to run to the two of them and sprinkle healing potions on them.

　At this moment, the remaining people no longer intended to carry out any plans. Ranga once again released jet-black lightning, and Rimuru unleashed the elemental manipulation ability, Fire Demon Great Flame Spear, which he had gained by devouring the fire elemental spirit within Shizu's body. Benimaru also threw out Black Flame Hell once more. However, even under these circumstances, the Kaisei, whose body was covered in super-hardened scales, still broke through the dust stirred up by the magic. The conspicuous cracks on the ground proved that it was all real. The Kaisei's two enormous wing claws slammed directly into the ground, instantly lifting up an entire rock slab. Rimuru tried to cast a spell to slow down the Kaisei's advance, but it was to no avail.

　Ranga and Benimaru were trampled under the feet of Kaisei, and the two figures were no longer visible. Rimuru, on the other hand, transformed back into a slime just before being bitten by the little girl, thus avoiding being pierced by the sharp dragon fangs. As for Ranga and Gabiru, they were unable to maintain their balance under Kaisei's enormous body. Just as Kaisei was about to stomp down, Ranga and Shuna unleashed their finishing moves in time.

　That was chilled cider after exercise and a whole head of grilled beef. They were just playing around, but because of the little girl's surreal abilities, the scene looked a bit messy. Moreover, according to Lanmei, if the little girl really had murderous intent, offering her a lot of delicious food in time could delay her death to some extent.

　When everyone woke up from their unconsciousness, it was already afternoon. Benimaru and the others lay leisurely in the hot spring. At this moment, they cherished the feeling of being alive and were also very grateful that they were working under the young girl. If anyone was too bold to go against the young girl, well, they might consider giving them a grand showdown. After all, such a person was a warrior.

　"Oh, right, Red Maru, I'm going back to the Kingdom of England in West Asia tomorrow to hold a graduation ceremony for those children, so I'll have to trouble you with the hunting for the next few days."

　Rimuru, in his slime form, was leisurely soaking in the water when he suddenly said, "Eh, Lord Rimuru, do you mean you're not going to hunt with us anymore?"

　"It's not that we're running away, it's just that they're in a real hurry. And given the condition of those children, if we don't find a solution, they don't have more than a year left to live. So I have to find a way to keep them alive, and that means I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you guys."

　Benimaru leaned against the edge of the bathhouse and slid down helplessly. You have to understand that it was enough food for thousands of people. It was like tightening a screw. Once or twice it was fine, but after a while it would be exhausting, and even more so mentally. But since Rimuru had said so, Benimaru had no choice but to do it.

　The next day, Rimuru left the Jura Grand Alliance with a mix of relief and guilt. Meanwhile, Yhorm and his companions, who were resupplying in the next town, encountered an acquaintance, Isaac, in the town's shopping district.

　"Hey, Isaac, is there something you need? Just tell me, I'll definitely help you."

　"Oh, is that so? My sister wants to talk to you about something. Can I take up a little of your time?"

　Seeing the puzzled look on Yhorm's face, the green-haired woman in the black trench coat took off her hood and stepped forward, saying, "I would consider myself a great mage, as I am quite skilled in amplification magic, control magic, and attack magic. Moreover, I have heard that Lord Yhorm is in need of a mage by his side."

　"I'm very sorry, miss, we don't lack magicians, and our lifestyle is not suitable for girls to join. I'm really sorry."

　"So, would you like to see what magic really looks like?" Hearing this, Yhorm became interested. As a result, Myuran easily defeated the hero Yhorm with the most basic magic. Moreover, judging from Yhorm's experience and habits, he didn't seem to have studied or trained to address his own negative statuses and increase his resistances. But then he thought of the Orc King in the Jura Forest, who also relied on brute force and regenerative abilities.

　After becoming the dominant force that swept across the entire region, Myuran also accepted Yhorm's character designation.

　After talking with Yom, Myoland officially joined the hero's team. Seeing the happy smile on Yom's face, Myoland's cold heart suddenly trembled. She remembered that stormy night.

　After reading Mulan's investigation results about the Pig-Headed Emperor, Demon King Kleiman's mouth stretched to the back of his ears. "I see. It's a very good report. Thank you, Miss Ring Finger. You did a great job. Perhaps I can really consider giving you your heart, or perhaps..."

　Myulan was originally a witch who lived deep in the forest. Under the bewitching influence of the demon king Kleiman, she gained eternal life. In reality, it was just a deception by Kleiman. The eternal life was obtained by having Kleiman control her heart. The price for doing so was to be controlled by Kleiman and unable to refuse his demands.

　Upon hearing this, Mulan gripped her cloak even tighter, her knuckles turning bloodless, and she bit her lip tightly, afraid that the Demon King Clayman would notice her expression.

　"If you can do a few more things for me, it will make me even more determined to do this."

　Miu Lan composed herself and said respectfully, "What do you want me to do, Lord Kleiman?"

　"Hehe, it's not a difficult thing to do, it's very simple. With your abilities, you can definitely complete it easily. So, regarding the first stage of the matter, let's make contact with someone first, Mu Lan. This is the first step of the plan."

　Nevertheless, Mulan still dared not look up. After silently memorizing the Demon King Clayman's instructions, she left the place.

　Just as Myuran found Yhorm, the Holy Holy Kingdom of Luberios and the Kingdom of Falmus held talks. The topic of the talks was, of course, the recently rising hero Yhorm and the financial difficulties that the Kingdom of Falmus had recently faced due to doing business with the Jura Alliance.

　After explaining, the minister concluded, "In other words, the hero Yhorm defeated the army led by the Pig-Headed Emperor, and was therefore given the title of hero."

　The king, however, didn't care at all. "How foolish! An unknown soldier, who is clearly in a dangerous position, thinks he has gained a great advantage. How pathetic."

　The armored general continued, "In fact, the Free Alliance also sent an investigation report regarding the appearance of the Pig-Headed Emperor, which indeed proves that the hero Yhorm has an unclear relationship with the Jura Grand Alliance."

　The king glanced at the general. "That's the monster kingdom I mentioned before, isn't it?"

　The minister respectfully praised, "Your Majesty is wise. Since that country was established in the Jura Forest, the number of merchants coming to our Kingdom of Falmus has decreased significantly, and our financial situation has deteriorated day by day. Taxes and trade revenues have plummeted. This is a matter of life and death for the Kingdom of Falmus. If this situation is allowed to continue, the reputation of the Demon Kingdom will surely spread to the western countries. At that time, the interests of all parties will be intertwined, and even if we take action, there will be great resistance. In other words, the best time is now."

　The king stroked his beard and asked the general, "How many troops can we deploy now?"
