††† (Lilith and Cigan's perspective)


　When the military council was over and the troop leaders were leaving the conference room one by one, Lilith and Shigan were the only two who didn't leave their seats.

　They were taken aback by the plan that Ike came up with.
　They were silent for a while and then crossed their gazes.

''--What do you think?''

　It was Lilith who cut him off.
　Cigan returned with a respectful look.

'Not very well. That man's intelligence is beyond our ability to measure.

　Lilith complies.

'Yes, I know. ─ Yes, I didn't know you had already taken steps to keep the League of Nations troops on their heels.

　It was Lilith's frank opinion that even the impression of Ike-sama, the quintessential Ike, didn't come to mind.

''I didn't realize that you had already orchestrated the other legions in anticipation of this.
Yeah, I didn't know you had a plan like that in mind.

　The plan Ike came up with was a simple one.
　The Demon King's Army was given free rein to each legion leader.

　They are allowed to attack human cities and rule the territories they have taken at their own discretion.

　In other words, by making them compete with each other, they are giving them a sense of competition.

　Since the demon race itself is a mass of greed and pride, every legion leader will be the first to attack the human cities.

　As mentioned above, the advantage of this method is that it can create a sense of competition and make them compete with each other.

　The disadvantage of this system is that it causes them to see each other as rivals and lose their cooperation.
　Ike seemed to have decided to take advantage of that disadvantage this time.

''It looks like Ike-sama has fired up the 2nd Legion Commander Jet Black Winged Gelmoor.
..........

　The dragonman Sigan is silent.
　Lilith gives him a strange look.
　That's because Cigan frowns.

''Well I'm a legion leader, in case you were wondering. There's no need to call me out.''

　Hearing those words, Lilith laughs and says, "Kyahaha.

It's that kind of thing about you that makes you so f*cking serious. It's a good thing. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.

..........

And I hate that Gelmoor guy. He's not only merciless to humans, but to demons as well, and such a brutal and ruthless man, you should just use him.　

'....Anyway, we'll give false information to Gelmoor's army and have Gelmoor capture the human city. In the meantime, we will cross Rosalia and attack Ismus, a procedure?

Exactly. The mainstay of the Ismus Kingdom is now an empty shell in the League of Kings. I think our brigade could lay waste to the country on its own.

　Hearing those words, Cigan let out a breath of air, oh dear.

''Our objective is to rescue Günther, King of the Dwarves, from the royal capital of Ismus. We're not going to raze the land.''　

　When Lilith heard those words, she let out a bewitching smile, "That's right.

　Sigan saw that smile and felt sorry for the human soldiers in Ismus.
　In the hands of this whore, they wouldn't even be able to deal with human soldiers.
　Thinking of the tragedy that will unfold in the near future makes me want to cover my eyes.

　But--

　The dragon man Shigan put his hand to his chin and pondered.
　I will use the Second Legion to attract the main force of the Lords Alliance.

　Any general can do it if he thinks about it, but Ike, who actually does it and succeeds in doing it, is bottomless.

　When he was assigned to this brigade, Shigan felt an unusual presence and saw through his general's equipment at a glance, but he never thought that he would grow into such a general--

　Sigan is from the dragon race.
　Although he has a longer life span than a human, he is already at the level of old age.

　He served the Demon King's army for many years and rose to the rank of troop leader with his spear work, but he never thought that at his age, he would finally meet a master who could make his blood flow.

　The old bones involuntarily trembled.

''How will Ike-sama fight and live from now on?''

　We can see it happen.
　Sigan thanked God from the bottom of his heart for that opportunity.
