"Yeah, not bad.

　Hercule nodded in satisfaction as he watched his troops actually forming ranks and training as if they were in actual combat.

　Having experienced actual combat, Hercule had succeeded in initiating concrete military reform.

　The conventional army of the Lemurian Empire had a minimum unit of eighty centurions.
　You may think, "How can there be a hundred men in an army of eighty? ......

　You may think, "How can this be?
　Eighty-man teams are lame, right?

　Two of these 100-man squads can be combined to form a company of 160 men.
　Combine three of these and you have a battalion of 480 men.
　Combine ten battalions and you get 480. Plus about 200 light cavalrymen, for a total of 500 men to make one army.

　However, this is a unit based on the premise of hand-to-hand combat with daggers, and does not fit the new Lemurian army.
　Because of the change of weapons from daggers to long spears, flexibility is inevitably lost.
　Therefore, it was decided to make a drastic change.

　　Therefore, Hercule drastically abolished the system of centurions and created a new unit of fifty men called a platoon.
　This platoon was combined with three companies of 150 men to form the basic unit.

　The purpose was to increase the flexibility of the entire unit by streamlining the company and reducing the number of people in the smallest unit.
　The reason why playing with the unit increases flexibility is as follows: ......

　It is easy to understand if you compare the joints of the arm and the fingers, and the differences in the movements of each.

　Incidentally, every modern army on earth has a company of about 150 men.
　The reason for this is that 150 men is the maximum number of men that one officer can lead.

　This is the so-called Dunbar number.

　A quiet story.

　A battalion is made up of 120 men by combining eight of these companies, and a corps is made up of 960 men by collecting eight battalions.

　Now, this army is ......
　Not all of them have the same equipment.

　There are two battalions of halberd troops equipped with halberds, a weapon that combines a spear and an axe.
　And six battalions of pikemen equipped with seven-meter spears.

　These are the two types of troops.
　What this means is that ......


　The halberd troops protect the longbow troops from the enemy cavalry and infantry, and the longbow troops attack the enemy with arrows from a safe place.
　Longbows with long range and curved shooting can jump over the friendly halberd troops and attack the enemy.

　The purpose is to reduce the enemy's strength and momentum as much as possible in the outpost battle.
　You can shower the enemy with arrows until you are at the very edge of contact.

　When you are close to the enemy, the Longbow troops will move to the left and right to support your allies.

　This is where the pikemen come into play.
　With a spear that is seven meters long and stretched to the very limit, the pikemen have an advantage in reach over the enemy.
　Crush the enemy with the destructive power of the pikes.

　The role of the halberd troops is to protect the flanks of the Pikes, which are now vulnerable due to the longer spears, and to compensate for their diminished mobility and flexibility.
　While the pikemen are fighting the enemy in front, the halberd troops prevent the enemy from flanking them, and in some cases, flank them and threaten them.

　Similarly, archers and cavalry are organized into platoons, companies, battalions, and corps.

　So there you have it. What do you think?　Darios, Galfis.
　Well, it's certainly very flexible, but ......
　Are you sure you want to run it?
　Of course.

　It's easy to say it, but hard to do it.
　It's easy to say it, but it's hard to do it. Can you really combine multiple departments into one? ......

　Darios, what do you think they recruited you for?
　...... Well, if you're asking me if I can or can't, I think I can.

　Well, if Darios or Hercule, who has the same level of military talent as Darios, could operate this.
　But can an army that can only be used by a superior general really be called an excellent army?

　Rest assured. I'm going to thoroughly manualize the movements. The Lemurian army of long ago was capable of such complex movements. It's nothing compared to that.
　The Lemurian army of old was strange in many ways.

　The Lemurian army of long ago divided its troops into three lines and alternated them to give the soldiers a break and increase their fighting capacity.

　It is impossible for an ordinary army to switch ranks in the middle of battle.
　This was accomplished through thorough manualization and training.

　So, the important thing is training!　Training! Training!　Training! Training!　Training! Training!　Training! Training!　Training!　Training!　Training!　Training!　Training!　Training!　Training!　Training!　Training!　Training!　Training!　Training!　Train!

　(Wow. ......)
　There are some ...... training freaks out there.



　A training-crazed monarch is a monarch who loves training so much that it becomes a hobby.
　They tend to like giants and the like.

　Incidentally, Hercule's favorite animal is the elephant, and the number one thing he wants to see in this world is the giant race.

　Oh, yeah, ...... I'm thinking of expanding my army and adding another legion.

　Currently, the Lemurian Empire has two legions of infantry.
　The infantry of the Lemurian Empire currently consists of two legions, which have been reorganized to replenish the losses sustained in the last war.

　That is, a total of 192,000.
　In addition to this, we are expanding another corps, 960.

　What does this mean? ......

　"After all, considering the cause of Darios' defeat, I think we need a strategic reserve.
　A strategic reserve?
　Yeah, yeah. Well, I wouldn't say right now.

　One legion will be led by Hercule.
　The other legion will be led by Darios, but who will lead the additional legion?

　The other legion will be led by Darios, but who will lead the additional legion? There is the problem of who will lead the additional legion, and considering the financial burden, it will be difficult to expand it right now.

　I'm a bit of a pain in the ass.　I can't be bothered, so I'll leave the training to the general. I don't have time to train all the time. ...... I have important things to do today.

　Then Hercule left, waving his hands in the air.







　Oh, and ...... Your Majesty, how long do I have to dress like this ......?
　Hmmm ...... as long as it takes to make me feel better?　By the way, could you pour me a cup of tea?

　A red-haired girl in a lovely maid's outfit ......
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

　I'll be right with you.

　Karolina went to the cupboard of tea in Hercule's private room.

　In fact, Hercule prefers tea to coffee.
　Although he recommends and sells coffee exclusively, his personal preference is tea.

　A cup of coffee in the morning.
　Tea for daytime hydration.
　Wine for dinner.

　Hercule drinks three different kinds of beverages, depending on the occasion.

　And tea. ......
　Green tea, black tea, and many other kinds of tea are available.

　Only Hercule could import such a wide variety of teas from the far east.

　Let's see. ...... Your Majesty, which one would you like?
　"Take the green tea.

　Hercule instructs Karolina to take the tea that is on the highest shelf.
　The tea was a little higher than Karolina's height.

　The tea was a little higher than Karolina was tall, so Karolina had to stretch.
　But ......

　"Hey, Your Majesty!　Please don't look at me like that!
　Don't worry about it.
　I do care!

　The skirt of the maid's uniform that Carolina is wearing is adjusted to a length where you can just barely see the inside.
　If she moved a little, the skirt would catch air and reveal the inside.

　If you stand tall and wobble your body, ......
　That's how much you can see inside.

　Karolina blushes and tries to reach for the bottle of tea, holding her skirt in one hand. ......

　"Karolina, that's an order. Don't hold your skirt.
　"Ahhhh!!!

　Karolina reluctantly removes her hand from her skirt.
　Every time she reaches for the bottle, Carolina's hips sway and her insides peek out.

　How long are you going to keep panting?　Come on, get it.
　No, because my hands are ......
　With your legs, you can jump and get it.

　The Elves, with their superior physical abilities, can jump ten meters.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

　But if you jump, you are sure to get ......

　"Hey, Karolina. I 'ordered' you to get me some green tea. I'm the emperor, you're my vassal. Then it is your duty to do so.
　"Loyalty is .......
　I thought you were supposed to do everything.
　".......

　Carolina thought about it for a moment, then decided to bend her legs and ......
　She kicked the floor.

　Carolina's body lifted off the floor and her skirt became fully visible.

　Kuro. You're wearing something very s*xy.
　"Well, you don't have to tell me what you think!

　You don't have to tell me what you think!






　It's ...... terrible.
　"Don't be ...... angry. I'll give you this as an apology, if I may say so.



　Hercule held out a small box to Karolina.
　When she opened it, she found a green jeweled earring inside.

　"Emerald.
　I don't want to ...... make you think this will make me happy!

　You'll be able to get a lot more out of it.
　It's a good thing I'm not the only one.

　It looks good on you. You look cute.
　"I'm not happy to hear such obvious flattery.

　"I'm not flattered by such obvious flattery.
　It's so obvious.

　"Karolina.

　Hercule pulls Karolina into a hug.
　He holds her close and puts his hands behind her back to prevent her from escaping. ......

　"Heh, Your Majesty. ......

　He pressed his lips to Karolina's forehead.









　It was that night.

　"I have come to fulfill my contract, my lord.
　"Asmodeus.

　Hercule woke up to find a girl riding on top of him.

　Beautiful black silk hair.
　Luscious lips.
　Shiro skin.
　Fruitful breasts.
　Oriental-looking face.
　And for ...... some reason she was wearing a kimono.

　The beautiful girl's name was Asmodeus.
　It's a great spirit of the dreamer, one of the 72 pillars of Hercule's contract.

　The expression "when Hercule wakes up" is a mistake.
　This is because Asmodeus is the Great Spirit of the Dreamer.
　It never manifests in the real world.

　What Hercule is seeing now is a dream that is as close to reality as possible: ......
　It is a dream.

　Asmodeus sucks on Hercule's lips and removes Hercule's clothes with an expert hand.
　Then he strips off his own kimono.
　Her skin is revealed, as smooth and beautiful as ceramic.

　Asmodeus runs his slender fingers down Hercule's chest.

　Asmodeus runs his slender fingers over Hercule's chest, "Now, I'll take your cock, Master.
　As long as it doesn't kill me.

　Asmodeus puts his hands on Hercule's pants and underwear.

　Asmodeus, the Great Spirit of the Dreamer.
　Asmodeus is one of the seventy-two great spirits once used by the old wizard kings.
　He is ranked thirty-second in the hierarchy, with the rank of "king.

　His true identity is that of a former Wisdom Angel.
　He is a fallen angel who controls the Seven Deadly Sins, "Lust," and is a great demon.

　And she is the only jerky spirit who could resist the Demon King.

　The price of her contract is a huge amount of magic power and ......
　I'm sure you'll agree.

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　You sound like I'm a monkey who spends all day drinking.
　No way, I'm complimenting you. The only people who have been able to use me are the Magician King, the world's most powerful magician, a mountain climber, or a balding debtor king.

　The people who have used Asmodeus in the past have all been sovereigns and generals who have accomplished great deeds.
　There is a possibility that only the contractors who have accomplished great deeds have been named.

　Because demons are basically liars.

　"Hey, Asmodeus.
　"Huh?　Master?

　Hercule put his hand on Asmodeus' back and hugged him.
　Asmodeus was surprised by the sudden attack.

　It is not good manners to talk about past men, is it?
　"Hmm, I suppose it is.

　The bodies of Hercule and Asmodeus overlapped.







　A few hours later.

　"Master has become quite adept, I miss the old days.
　"...... used to be?
　When you were a virgin.

　Yes, that was ...... five years ago now.
　Hercule was ten years old.




　...... What are you, boy?
　"You" is rude. In the presence of the great demon Asmodeus.

　A beautiful, dark-haired woman in a maid's uniform was riding on top of the ten-year-old Hercule.
　In the middle of the night, she was supposed to be invisible. ......
　In the middle of the night, a faintly glowing fireball of some sort surrounded Asmodeus, illuminating him and Hercule.

　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.　Hmm ......, how about this?

　The next moment, the clothes Asmodeus was wearing changed.
　The next moment, the clothes Asmodeus was wearing changed. It was a unique costume that did not exist in the Lemurian Empire.
　It was a kimono, a traditional Japanese costume.

　And it was also a garment that existed only in Hercule's memory.



　No!　You, you, you!
　"Oh, yes, yes. This appearance is an orientalized version of what you remember. I can change it as much as you want, if you want. ......
　Who are you, ......?
　"Asmodeus," he said. You know who I am, don't you?　You know him as Asmodeus, the famous Great Spirit of this world and the famous Great Demon of your previous life. See?
　"......

　Hercule fell silent.
　Asmodeus asked him.

　Who are you, by the way?
　Who ...... are you? ...... of the Lemurian Empire.
　A man from a previous life and the man you are now. Don't you care if there's continuity or not?　I'm asking you.

　Hercule's eyes widened.
　Yes, ...... had been a question for Hercule for as long as he could remember.

　He had memories of his previous life since he was a child.
　It was a man who worked as a dull businessman in a completely different world from this one.

　The man had a vast store of knowledge, and he certainly had a brilliant mind.
　However, he was not able to make full use of it.

　He worked every day like a slave, accumulating knowledge that he never used.
　No dreams, no greed, no vanity. ......

　Why is such a dull and ordinary person my previous life?
　What am I in the first place?
　Why did you reincarnate?　

　All this time, Hercule has been holding on to these questions.
　He can't tell anyone about it, not even his first love, Karolina.

　It was too heavy a burden for a ten year old boy to carry.

　The devil, whom he had just met, told him the truth.

　"Don't worry. That dull man is not you. No, it can't be you. You are Hercule, the one and only.
　"...... So, what about these memories?
　It's true that the soul slipped into your body as a child. But ...... you defeated it. Haha, you can't win. A man like you, a man of pride, vanity, ambition, and no greed. As a result, the man's soul died, and only his memory remains with you. That's what happened.
　"Oh, so that's what ...... is all about.

　Hercule breathed out a sigh of relief.
　Hercule, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, did not want to believe that the dull man was his former life.
　But now it was denied. Nothing could be more gratifying.

　"By the way, ......, how do you know?
　"I'm the mastermind, you know. I'm the one who killed that man and put him inside you.
　...... Were you going to kill me?
　No way, I was sure you could beat him.

　Asmodeus laughed.
　Asmodeus laughed and brought his face close to Hercule's.

　Hercule's heart skipped a beat. 　
　The face of the s*xy older woman was now nose-to-nose with him, so it was understandable.

　A few thousand years ago, Lemuria was in the midst of a civil war, and the father of Lemuria united and established an empire. My former master's country is dying. ...... Hmm, I liked that bald man. So, I thought, I can't just stand by and watch it die. Then, the Lemurian emperor's family had an excellent baby. A child as good as the bald man, the mountaineer who was his master before him, and the great king before him.

　And Asmodeus smiles bewitchingly.

　And ...... I like your face.
　"！！！！

　Asmodeus' peachy tongue strokes Hercule's neck.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

　I'm not sure what to make of it. It's just that ...... the Lemurian Empire in its current state is in such shambles that it's impossible to manage on an individual basis. And then there's the Lion King Ludwig I to the west and the Sun King Sasan VIII to the east. If you grow up well and gain experience, you will be able to defeat these two, but until then, there is no time. ......

　Asmodeus grinned.

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one. Although he is a boring man, he still has a certain amount of experience. It would add some value, and more importantly, the knowledge would be useful. A man from a previous life wouldn't be able to use it, but you can. Besides, this is as far as we demons are allowed to go. Yes, other demons are allowed to carry the soul of a trivial man into this world.

　"You're .......

　Hercule glared at Asmodeus.


　If you're not careful, you could be swallowed up and killed.
　Hercule would have been annoyed.

　"Well, anyway, ...... I'm here today to make a contract with you.
　"...... contract?
　Yes, a contract. Spiritual contracting. You know it, don't you?　It's the same as General Galfis' Amon and General Christos' Phocarol. You'll have to make a contract with me.
　"Who would sign up with a stinking demon like you!

　Hercule shouted at Asmodeus and shouted at him.

　"Somebody!　Come here!　It's the devil!!!!

　...... But no one comes.
　Asmodeus chuckles at Hercule's impatient face and tells him the truth.

　You're in a dream. No matter how much you scream, in reality you're just sleeping through the night.
　No, no, no!
　Don't get upset, okay?

　Asmodeus forcefully holds Hercule down as he tries to escape Asmodeus' restraints.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

　I'm sure you'll be fine, .......
　"f*ck!　Get off me, you b*tc*!

　Asmodeus covered Hercule's shouting lips with his own.
　Asmodeus' tongue ravaged Hercule's young mouth.

　He scoops up her tongue, sucks it, licks and plays with her gums, and thoroughly torments her sensitive parts.
　Asmodeus, the demon of lust, is no match for a ten-year-old virgin boy.

　Hercule is left to his own devices.

　"Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
　

　Before I knew it, Hercule was completely naked.
　Her arms and legs were so weak that she couldn't even move a finger.

　Asmodeus slowly traces Hercule's chest.

　"A-okun......


If you want to read it, please contact us. If you really want to read it, please write in the comments section. I may post it on Nocturne Novels if I feel like it.


　Hercule was not released until another six hours later, after he had been stopped 375 times.





　You've done that before.
　Yes, you've grown up quite a bit, Master. I'm sure you're right. ...... What's wrong?　What's wrong?

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I've seen it before.
　He then slaps and pulls on his cheek.

　That ...... hurts, but ......
　I remember ...... the old days and I'm so angry.

　Hercule frowns.
　Then he smiled lecherously.

　'You can take anything, anyway, can't you?　It may ...... hurt a little, and it may be painful, but it's ...... okay, right?
　'...... Hmm, go ahead. Master. If you can, make me beg, make me cry, make me give in. That's what I want. Beating me, choking me, ...... that's the essence for me.
