147 Ruled over




 The results of this time's successful completion of the 《Ruling》 - an area of control of about 28k square meters, and an increase in CP and DP limit of 100.

 The 'Lords' - they are the subjugated humans.

 You can call them subordinates if you want, but I've dared to call them 'lords'.

 The reason for that is--

Demon King Theon's domain.

 Eukaryotic 91

 DP 10000/10300

 Area of control 582 km2

 Total population 89

 Level 14.

 No special effects


 It was because of the change in the total population numbers that had never varied from zero.


''Canon. Is there any difference between 'lords' and subordinates?
"'Lords'...? What's that?
Subjugated Humanity.
'What? Different from your people?
I'm asking because it's unclear?
"Wait a minute, please..... Well, it seems that it's impossible to give individual instructions to the 'territorial residents'.

 A unified order...? Are you sure you want to perceive it like a 100% enforceable constitution?

 --I command 'the people'. One, forbid fighting between allies. One, I forbid the leakage of information to the outside world. One, you are forbidden to commit suicide. One, you will absolutely obey my orders.

 Is this how it's going to be for now? Will the detailed rules be considered at a later date?

 I thought that if I imposed the last rule, I would be treated the same as my subordinates... with one major difference.

 The subordinates could give orders with just a reminder, and the subordinates' vision could be checked through their smartphones. However, the 'Lords' could not be reminded individually. Even if they wanted to give an order, they had to give it individually in person.

 Humanity alone is a pain in the ass, but is it even more useless than the subordinates.......

 When you're fed up with the unexpected specifications of the 'Lords'........

 --!

 One large electric bike came whizzing by from a distance.

 Takaharu was operating the handlebars in the front part of the large bike, and Sarah was riding behind him with a joyful smile on her face.

''....Hey. What's that?

 I call out to Takahar as he stops in front of me.

'You're on a motorcycle,'
I can see that. I said, what's going on?
I found it.
Did I get the right one?

 Takaharu and Sarah answer without mischief.

''d*mn, you're doing whatever you want...''

 I let out an involuntary sigh at the attitude of the two of them...

 --!

 Wait...?

Does the bike ... move?
You've been riding up here.

 When I first became the Demon King the entire interior of the dominion realm turned into an object except for my own room. And when I changed the dominant area into a dungeon type, everything disappeared.

 --But the motorcycles that existed in the dominated realm that was 《Ruled》 this time were activated normally.......

 When Akira surrendered, the items that were in the controlled territory disappeared.

 --But nothing has disappeared from the area that he "ruled" this time........

 What can be inferred from these two phenomena...!

'Takahara! Hurry to the human race that I've taken on board and subdued!
'What? Theon needs to feel the wind--
Come on, man, hurry up!
Yeah.

 I straddled the back of the motorcycle Takahar was riding and headed northeast.

 

''Hey! Car! Do you have a car!
Okay, yes. Oh, there is!
Lead the way!
Yes!

 I'm ushered into a small, four-seat electric car by humanity.

"Keys!
Yes!

 I take the key from humanity and press the start switch to start the engine. With a slight tremor, the engine of the electric car drives quietly.

'Does it work...'

 I smile at the unexpected artifacts from 《Governance》.

''Next........do they have computers in the school?''
Yes, sir.
Show me around.

 Later, more than 30 computers were found in a room in the school. It was confirmed that all were up and running. Other electrical appliances such as TVs installed in the gymnasium, which was used as a communal living space, were also confirmed to be usable.

 If we continue with the creation of the dominant area.......what will happen? Perhaps it will disappear.

 But if we can carry it out to the existing area of control...?

 Item smelting was convenient, but it was not possible to smelt machines.

 The only modern equipment given to the demon king - was a smartphone and a refrigerator.

 Fire could be caused by magic or a lighter taken from humanity. Water could be pumped out of the river where it was refined. The space created by the creation of the dominant realm was full of greenery, a space sufficient for living....

 --I command all my subordinates and 'the people'! Bring all supplies from your new dominion to the Ninety-Third Domain!

 I had given orders to my men to create a fulfilling domain of control.


 ◆


 Six hours later.

 As a result, we obtained more than 20 cars and motorcycles, more than 100 computers and countless home appliances such as rice cookers and washing machines, household goods and food.

 After confirming all the transportation, the area that I "ruled" in the creation of the dominant region - the 91st dominant region - was transformed into a dungeon type, and as expected, all of the remaining humanity's goods disappeared.

 Only the Demon King could create the dominion realm. However, anyone could remodel the interior of the dominion realm, such as plowing a field or building a hut.

 It was also possible to "rule" an area where large trucks and construction equipment existed....... In addition, if one were to "rule" an area where there were large motorcycle shops, it would also be possible to form a motorcycle unit with a high level of mobility.

 The feeling of emptiness is intense when moving during the day, but if we travel in a camper.......will we be freed from the feeling of emptiness?

 For now, you can create a house to live in by creating a dominant realm, but if the number of Fiefdoms keeps increasing, the CP will become ridiculous. I suppose we could even have the Lords create their own houses.

 Building a nation, huh? I don't have the skills or knowledge to build a car right now. I can use home appliances, but I can't build one. If you have the machines and parts you need, you can gather them through repeated rounds of "ruling," but if you can, I'd like to set up a production system.

 While looking at the newly acquired "fiefdoms" and the numerous modern devices, I dreamed of a vague idea of nation building.
