　Juchi, the hero of the steppe, arrives at the battlefield half a day ahead of schedule.

　I shudder to think that if I had arrived ten minutes earlier, I would have been caught in a pincer movement and my head would have been lost.

"But everything went well, Master's plan worked, and we put the enemy in a tight spot.

　We defeated Zagam before he could return to the battlefield.

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

　This will make things a lot easier for us in the future.

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

　I told him so, but I was wrong.

　The hero of the steppe who has come to the battlefield has shaken off my theories.

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

　He absorbed the remaining troops of Zagamu and attacked without pause.

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

　He skillfully used both cavalry fire from afar and assault by assault troops.

　Their attacks dealt a heavy blow to our forces that had defeated Zagamu.

　Realizing the strength of the cavalry and Mongolian cavalry in one battle, I chant a spell and cause a meteorite to fall on the battlefield.

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

　It was a meteo spell, but it dropped in the wrong direction.

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

　I did this so that it would not hit my allies in the melee.

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

　Both the enemy and his army seem to be surprised by the blow, and he orders his own soldiers to return to the defensive positions they have just established.

　In the meantime, the enemy is shooting at us like a hail of bullets, but I gather the soldiers who can use magic and have them put up a defensive wall.

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

　The wall floats in the air, but it breaks down when it is hit by hundreds of arrows.

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

　Watching this, I made a spherical ball of defense in the air.

"Why a spherical wall of defense?

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

　Eve asks me, to which I reply

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

A flat surface will accept all the force of an arrow, but a circle will deflect it. That way, you can keep the defensive wall up for a long time.

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

　In fact, the defensive ball I created has lasted longer than the wall, and has saved the lives of many soldiers.

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

　Eve, who was watching, said,

"That's our master!"

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

　She praises him.

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

　She appreciates the praise, but she should return the favor later.

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

　For now, she was too busy fending off Juchi's onslaught.

　A few moments later, after all the surviving soldiers were placed inside the defensive position, we could catch our breath.

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

　The enemy was not so foolish as to carelessly jump into a defensive position designed specifically against cavalry.

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

　Juchi was looking at us from a distance and occasionally fired a shot at us, but when he saw that it had no effect, he pulled up on a small hill and stared at us.

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

　It was quite a brilliant judgment.

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

　A great general indeed, I should say.

　As he said this, Hijikata Toshizo opened his mouth.

"I respect the way you evaluate enemy generals, but aren't you in danger if you continue like this?

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

"What do you mean?" "If it becomes an endless war, we might be the ones in trouble. The enemy has mobility. If they attack Ashtaroth's stronghold...

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

"Oh, you mean. Then we'll be fine.

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

Are you sure?

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

Yes. I did consider the possibility of an attack on our stronghold with almost no defenders. But I'm going to use trickery to bring Juti here. We'll take the fight to them with this ironclad defensive position."

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

You're going to make this easy for me?

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

It's going to work. Who do you think I am?　You belong to Hibiki! Now is the time to be called a coward.

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

You mean you're going to carry out your dirty plan?

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

"Yes, that's right. My reputation may be tarnished."

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

　I say to myself with a slight sneer, and the blonde saint defends me.

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

"Don't worry, demon king. I like his cowardice too. No, I love the cowardly part. Because his cowardice is not for himself but for others."

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

"......Thank you."

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

　I will put my feelings into words honestly.

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

　I play tricks to create a peaceful world for the sake of peace.

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

　I will devise schemes to minimize the damage to my allies.

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

　It may be a justifiable act from the point of view of my friends and subordinates, but from the point of view of my enemies, it would be unbearable.

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

　Maybe,...... no, I'll go to hell for sure.

　But still, I will use my strategy.

　I summoned Kotaro Fuuma and told him of my plan to summon Juchi to this camp.

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

"Kotaro the Wind Fiend, you said Juchi cut off Zagamu's arm because he insulted his father.

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

Yes, that's right.

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

Do you know why?

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

Because he is a proud man?　Because you love your father?

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

No, no. No, no. He is proud, but he does not love his father. Respect is not a word that can be used to describe him. Juchi, the hero of the steppe, has faith in his father, Genghis Khan."

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

　Genghis Khan created the greatest empire in history.

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

　Juci followed him and contributed to the expansion of his power without a shadow of a doubt.

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

　He respected his father and wanted to be like him.

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

　He must have wished to be like his father.

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

　But there was a secret surrounding his birth.

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

　This secret prevented him from becoming the heir of the Great Khan, despite being the eldest son.

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

　The secret was that Juci was not the biological son of Genghis Khan.

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

　Juchi's mother was kidnapped by a hostile tribe when she carried Juchi in her belly.

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

　The tribe that took his mother was later defeated and destroyed by Genghis,

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

　Rumors began to circulate that his mother had been humiliated there and had conceived Juchi.

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

　There is a myth that he could not be the successor of the Great Khan because of this.

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

　I was aware of this myth.

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

　And I knew about the incident with Zagam. Wasn't it his complex that made him so angry when his father's name was disgraced?

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

　I could imagine that.

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

　If I was right, he would be provoked by me.

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

　I bet on it, I pick out a sinner and send him a message.

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

　If this provocation succeeded, Juchi would be sure to cut down the messenger.

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

　In fact, Juchi cut down the messenger I sent.

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

　He became furious and attacked my defensive position.

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

　Seeing how well everything was going, Eve came to me with a mysterious look on her face.

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

I knew that the master was a conspiratorial god, but how did you incite the juchi?

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

　I don't really want to tell her the answer, but I will tell her.

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

　Eve is my confidant, I can't keep secrets from her.

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

　I told her about the myths surrounding Juchi's birth and told her about the message I had sent to Juchi.

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

If you have the courage of your fingernails, Juchi, the hero of the steppe, attack my ironclad defenses. Your father may have built a world empire, but you have not inherited his valor. Because you are not the son of Genghis.

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

　Eve's face pales as she hears these words.

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

　What more can I say to abuse a brave general, she murmurs.

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

　Indeed, I had insulted the hero and lit the fuse of my anger, but not in the elegant way I had done so.

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

　No, it was devilish.

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

　In fact, my words brought Juchi to the defense in a fury.

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

　Thus, I would once again gain notoriety as a pragmatic demon king.
