　While the skeleton warriors and orcs are digging the moat, we try to build up the army.

　Many of the materials brought from the treasure room of Sabnak Castle are still useful for building Kobolds.

　And also to create beastmen related demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why is that?　When I think about it, Eve tells me the answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is because Sabnak is a beast demon king. That's why he naturally gathers materials related to beasts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is that so?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. Sabnak's body is human in form, but from the neck up he has the head of a lion. The demon king Sabnak is also known as the lion king.

"That's a pretty strong name."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's true, it's strong. The army itself is mediocre because it does not excel in magic, but my personal valor is not that of an F-ranked demon king."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see, so he is a brainy demon king. I guess he relies on his personal bravery.

"In a word..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then it's worth a try.

Do you have a better idea?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. In the meantime, give this map to the engineers and tell them what to do."

"This is ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The smart Eve seemed to understand my intention the moment she saw it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's my master! Your intelligence keeps even the lion's claws at bay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He praised me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, you can praise me only after you succeed. But first, we need to prepare."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if Sabnak is an F-ranked demon king, that is relative to other demon kings, and in comparison to my army, he is still the stronger one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We had no choice but to adopt the strategy of the weak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"From the attack earlier, and from what Eve said, we know that the other side has formed an army of beastmen demons. If that is the case, we will summon more demons that are strong against the beastmen."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's a great idea."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Beastmen are agile and strong, but they are physical people. Few of them can use magic. So I'm thinking of building a squad of ghosts and wraiths who can nullify physical attacks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's our master."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Eve brings materials that will make it easy to create a ghost tribe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With these materials, I created about 20 ghostly wraiths, which are immune to physical attacks.

"Now I can fight one-sidedly."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Eve's voice is bouncy, but I deny it lightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No. Though there are not many wizards, they are not all there. They probably have weapons with magic in them at least. If we rely on wraiths all the time, we will lose.

"I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So we summon a powerful beastman monster as well."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I mentioned earlier, many of the loot was beastman-related. We aggregate them and call up a powerful beast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We want a demon that can defeat a kobold or a warcat single-handedly, even if it is not as powerful as the lion Sabnak himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, in order to summon a higher level of beastmen, they put all the materials they took from Sabnak into Klein's jar and poured their magical power into it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus was born the famous "werewolf".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Also known as a were-wolf or lycanthrope, the werewolf is a humanoid creature.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was fortuitous that I was able to summon 10 such reliable demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Summoning goblins and orcs with the surplus materials, my army of Ashtaroth was ready.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The number and quality of our army should be as good as Sabnak's army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Eve smiled wryly as she said this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then I am sure that the master will win. If the legions are evenly matched, then it is only a matter of the quality of the general. The master is more than capable as a general.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I hope so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I responded casually and gathered the men I had summoned to train them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A powerful army is no better than a mere beast without training.

　Only when they are able to lead their unique demons and move them as their own limbs will they be allowed to let their guard down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Until then, it was my position to keep my guard up and my helmet tightened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Day after day, as I planed my strategy against Sabnak, I realized that the materials I had taken from him were almost gone, but there was one thing left in its place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His treasury contained not only materials but also treasures.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most of them were gold and silver treasures that he kept in the castle vault and planned to use for city expansion and other purposes, but some of them could not be converted into cash.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I was wondering what to do with them, Eve told me what to do with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What you are staring at now, Master, is a Japanese sword, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Japanese sword ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I asked back, but there was no element of surprise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The warped blade, shining like a work of art, it was the very Japanese sword I had in my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I remember that I had studied this sword in my previous life and was attracted to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I remember that I fell in love with this weapon and tried to make one myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am not sure if I succeeded, but I am sure that this is a weapon unique to the country of Japan, called the katana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I ask Eve.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Eve, do you have swords in this world too?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I have heard rumors of an island nation to the east. Among the imports from there is a Japanese sword. They are popular in western countries, where royalty and nobility collect them as works of art. They are also popular among demon kings, and some of them are armed with Japanese swords.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see, but this is not a Japanese sword of this world. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I assure you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How did you come to that conclusion?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It doesn't smell like this world. I'm from another world, so I'm extra sensitive. I'm more sensitive because I come from another world... to the smell of the materials of this country. This Japanese sword is probably, or definitely, from another world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"As I would expect from the master. You were able to tell at a glance that it was a drifter?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Drift?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Drift is one of the relics of other worlds that have washed up in this world. Many of them are rare and powerful, and it is the status of the powerful in this world to own many castaways."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see, so that's why Sabnak the Lion King had it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It seems so. A demon king. It's not surprising that he would have powerful flotsam and jetsam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Japanese swords are powerful, but only one of them. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they could be mass-produced and equipped for soldiers, that would be a different story, but a single one would be worthless as an artifact.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Eve smiled unusually when she said this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... there are things even the master doesn't know, aren't there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The things called flotsam and jetsam can also be used as summoning materials. If you put it in a Klein jar, you can summon the soul spirit of the owner of the drift. This is called ."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You mean it's different from summoning ordinary demons."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. Interesting. Well then, let's try to summon them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He tries to put the katana in Klein's jar, but Eve looks at him suspiciously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What's wrong?　She replied.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... It is true that soul summoning can summon powerful heroes from other worlds, but powerful heroes have an ego. Some of them even resist the summoned ones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see, that's possible. But if I'm disobeyed here, then I'm only as good as the Demon Lord. How can I hope to rule the world if I can't even control a single hero?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hearing these words, Eve bursts into tears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In tears of joy, she praises him, saying, "You are the master.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As usual, she is exaggerating, but I decide to get rid of her groundless fears as soon as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if she'll get an ogre or a snake, though,
