From the day after tomorrow, the territory to be invaded will be under the control of Kanta, the Demon King.

　The subordinates were buzzing when they heard of the control area to be invaded. Although none of them said a single criticism, most of them probably predicted that they would invade Demon King Arisa's dominion territory.

''There are two reasons for invading the Demon King Kanta's dominion territory.

　I hold up two fingers and look over the faces of my subordinates.

''One is that Demon King Kanta's [Refining] is 【C】. Demon King Kanta's [Creation] is a [B]. The quality of the subordinates might be even, but currently we have an advantage in equipment. However, we don't know how long that advantage will last. Therefore, we need to take possession of the Demon King Kanta's control territory as soon as possible.

　The level of the Demon King Kanta is unknown. The ranks of 【Magic Power】 and 【Knowledge】 are also unknown. And it's unknown when he will level up. That's why the Demon King Kanta's controlled territory needed to be invaded as soon as possible.

''Another reason is the current situation we're in in Kanazawa City. There are only four Demon Kings alive, including me, and one of them is in my possession, so it doesn't matter, but the remaining two Demon Kings are always looking for an opening. So, I'm going to bring them into a state of readiness.

　Since last month, we have been aware of each other. For example, while the Demon King Kanta's household was invading his dominion territory to battle with the Demon King, my men who were sneaking in snatched the core from him. While Demon King Arisa's followers were invading a certain control area, my followers invaded Demon King Arisa's control area and ravaged it to no end.

　Well, to put it bluntly, the two Demon Kings saw me as an enemy.

　While I was invading the control territory of one of them, my control territory might be invaded. Or they might snatch the 【True Core】 from me while we were both exhausted.

　That's why it was necessary to contain one side's movement.

　

　I give orders to the canon and the 10 goblin warriors I planted for this day.

''Overrun the land of humanity, which is adjacent to the Demon King Arisa's control territory!

　Goblins spent very little LP. One Goblin Gentleman can lead 10 Goblins, one Goblin Guru can lead 10 Goblins. In other words, with 10 goblin knights in the family, they could lead 100 goblins.

　 What happens now...?　Perhaps humanity will take revenge.

　With this, we can stop the Demon King's Arisa from moving.

　From humanity's point of view, there's no way to tell my goblins from Demon King Arisa's goblins. Now, if a ghoul is somehow on the rampage, it's me. If an ogre was on the rampage, it was the Demon King Kanta's doing. And if the goblins were on a rampage - it would be recognized as the work of Demon King Arisa.

"Canon, it's up to you.
Yes!

　This is the first time I've taken canon out of the control realm. In the meantime, I've given them all the highest-grade armor I could find. I've given orders to the goblins in my army and to the goblins under my command that canon's survival is the highest priority. The canon is an irreplaceable subordinate, comparable to BP17. Although I was a little concerned about this, Kanon was willing to take the plunge, so I decided to go ahead with this plan.

　In order to move ahead of them, they saw Kanon and 10 goblins leaving the cave.

　Two days later.

　A crafting operation by canon and 110 goblins. In addition, the information I posted on various message boards bore fruit, and the human race carried out a large-scale operation to defeat Demon King Arisa's territory.

　The number of areas controlled by Demon King Arisa is 12 and the number of entrances to the human race's land is 9.

''Now we'll have our hands full with defense for a while, right?''

　In addition, the number of humans invading my domain has decreased drastically. Now I can concentrate on the invasion of the Demon King Kanta's domain. This is a good thing.

Lina, Leila, Flora, Guy, Red, Iron, and Daquelle. Let's hope for the best.
I'm on it.
I will fulfill my destiny.
Yes?
Hey!
Phew. I'm on it.
(Yes.)
I'll bet my life on it!

　This time it wasn't just my seven subordinates that were with me, but also my seventeen subordinates as back-up and reserves.

　I responded encouragingly and watched them walk away from the cave.

　You're bored....

　Kanon has finished his crafting activities and is returning home. Lina and the others are on the move towards the Demon King Kanta's control area. Watching the live video on my smartphone, there are no interesting scenes at all.

　Shall we go see what those guys are up to?

　They are part of the human race that we've brought under our command in the last few months. There are three of them. I've also made two others my subordinates, but unfortunately they were killed.

　When you look at it this way, Lina was the lucky one. As expected of a Kanazawa City-approved hero.

　The human race is all over the place. Naturally, there are excellent humans, but there are also many not-so-excellent ones. And the better they are, the harder it is to make them one of your household members. Even if they were able to join my family, they wouldn't blindly follow me like the others I created. They just can't disobey my orders.

　In other words, you have to keep giving me orders all the time.

　That was a real pain in the ass. Other than that, my mental state is very much reflected in my performance, so I have to follow up appropriately to make it useful.

　Then it would be much more constructive to create an underling. In fact, none of the five human subordinates that he had made into his subordinates had been able to defeat the Dhampir.

　I wonder if we can't make another Lina-class human family member....

　I was alone in my loneliness, complaining about the meaninglessness of the situation.
