Transferred the authority of the dominion area you just controlled to canon. After giving my subordinates a nap and food rest, I replenished the subordinates that were defeated and the items they used. With all preparations in place, they decided to embark on the next invasion of the controlled realm.

''........Hey.''

　I couldn't help but voice my emotions as I stepped into the next area of control.

　The clear night sky is filled with twinkling stars. Rocks, large and small, are scattered all over the place, and not a single plant or tree grows on the ground.

　The dominant area that had formed the body of a cave until a few days ago - had been transformed into a wilderness.

　According to the preliminary information, the dominant domain controlled by the two Demon Kings, the invasion target, was all cavern type. One of the main reasons why I decided to add the Demon King here to my command was because it was a controlled area with an indoor structure that I myself could go out to directly.

''Are you harassing me?''
I guess it's more of a countermeasure than a harassment of Theon.

　Lina replies calmly to my exasperated words.

　It's nighttime now, so it's not a problem. The night breeze is nice, and it's the perfect environment. But when night falls - the shining sun takes away my power of certainty.

　The vampires have attacked me, so I've made the dominant area sunny. ...it's the right thing to do.

　Should I be removed from the invasion team?　However, that wouldn't encourage the Demon King to make a recommendation. If the Demon King is this tactful, I want to add him under my command at all costs.

　As for my status, during the day, 【Physical】 weakens from B to C, and 【Magic Power】 weakens from B to D. Since I'm equipped with the highest quality items, I don't think I'll fall behind the mooks out there, but I'm still worried.

　Should I have chosen Daylight Vampire as my evolutionary destination?

　It's tempting to blame yourself for the past when things go unexpectedly wrong.

　It's dangerous to invade at this point. If the other side is reading what we're doing, we have no choice but to do something we haven't done before.

"We're going back to the territory we control.
""Ha!"

　I had chosen to retreat.


　◆


　Back in the realm of control, I'm back to thinking about the plot for the invasion.

　The enemy knows exactly what we're going to do.......and there's a high probability of that. Then what can I do to strike a blow to the enemy?

　An action that has never been taken before. I've already thought of one. I don't know how well the enemy knows us, but up until now, the invasion of the territory I've controlled has always been carried out by two squads - Lina and Chloe's squad at the same time. The reason for this is to increase the speed of the invasion and to disperse the enemy's forces.

　However, this time, I want to add two Demon Kings to my command. If that's the case, it could be said to be a bad idea to disperse the enemy's forces.

　That's why we're going to merge Lina and Chloe's forces. My only concern is who I'll give command to Lina or Chloe, but if I'm in charge, there won't be any problems.

　And one more thing. I'm going to surprise you. I'm not sure if this will work, but it could be a nice surprise.

　I have created Mithril Heavy Armor, Mithril Shield, and Mithril Helm. I put on my smelted mithril heavy armor, put on my helmet, and hold my shield and spear.

　I move my shield and spear a few times, jumping on the spot to see how it feels.

　It's hard to move, but it's not as heavy as I thought it would be. Is this also an effect of the strengthened body?

　--Canon. Come here.

　Then telepathically summoned the canon.

"Yes. What's up?

　After a three minute wait, the canon appeared.

'Huh?　Mr. Zion, where are you?

　Kanon looks around my room with three living mails lined up and hops around.

　--Kata-kata-kata!

　I can't help but shiver at the ridiculous sight of the canon, and the sound of scraping metal leaks out.

''--?　Ah!　Mr. Theon!　What are you doing?

　Kanon notices my presence and stops on my shoulder.

'You noticed...'
Well, if you look hard enough, it's not much, but it's solid.

　Kanon hurriedly chose his words again.

'Stylish..... Do you think you'd notice if you were in the middle of a battle or live on your smartphone?
I see..... So that's what you mean. Yes, if we are used to seeing the Living Mail, there is a chance that we will notice it, but if we are not used to seeing it, there is a good chance that we won't notice it.

　Kanon reads my thoughts and gives me a precise answer.

''I mean........isn't that heavy?
'It's not as heavy as I thought it would be. It's just that visibility is bad and it's hot and humid.

　The reason why those who are equipped with a full plate, with Living Mail at the top of the list, only play the role of a shield may be because their vision is so narrow and it is hard to move, so holding up a shield is the best they can do. You can do simple tasks such as holding up a shield and stabbing a spear, but it's unlikely that you can do the same actions as your usual battles, although it's not very likely.

"Canon. Do you have enough men and items?
Yes?　No problem.

　Is there a problem? My current CP is 2400.

　-- 20 chances.

　What if I miss, I can spend it on defense.

I'm going to waste a little CP on this.
Yes?

　With the Kyoton in the background, I carried out the creation of the Dhampir's subordinates.


　◆


　The gender of the created dhampir is determined at random. The probability of the creation of a male Dhampir is 50%. If my calculations were correct, 10 male Dhampirs were planned to be created, but....

''Seven dampirs........''

　Greed sensor?　Creation sensors?　The number of created dick dhampirs was less than expected.

　Although the created Dhampirs were similar in facial features, if one looked closely, their physiques and hair length were different from each other.

''Is this guy enough...''

　I call out to the dhampir I've set my sights on.

'Canon. I want this guy to have the same haircut as me.

　The dhampir I had my eye on had long hair and a build similar to mine.

''Huh........ I mean, isn't it harsh to identify this dhampir as Sion-san?
You know, if you put a pair of sunglasses on her, then someone who doesn't know me well enough to look at me I'll be able to do it.

　Those who know me well will know 100% if they see me, but those who don't know me, I think individuals only recognize me based on my size, age, haircut, and to some extent, my face.

　Kanon complains and dexterously arranges Dhampir's hair the same way I do, even though he complains.

　You can make him wear the same 'demon mask' as Lina, but it's not desirable for him to show off badly. If it's sunglasses, 'You're a vampire, so you wear sunglasses during the day?' I might be able to fool them.

　I make the dhampir, who has the same haircut as I do, wear the items I usually wear, and I make him wear a large pair of sunglasses on his face.

''Well what do you think?''
'Well there is a slight resemblance but I know Zion well enough to say I'm an enthusiastic fan or just a cosplayer. It's not there.
'Yes!　They're in the residence. I'll have them come check it out.
Are they all my people in the family?
They wouldn't remember much of my face, would they?
''Well you know.......Zion-san is completely ignoring it.

　The humans I made my family members in the past were not useful as a fighting force, so I left them in the living quarters. I don't go to check on them, but Kanon says they've been busy farming lately.

　I moved into the living quarters with Dhampir and Kanon, who looked like me, in full plate.

''Ah!　Zion-sama!　It's been a while!　A makeover?　Those sunglasses are hot!
What?　Lord Shion?　If you don't mind........these radishes.... The goblins always seem to enjoy them!
"Shion-sama......... It's been a while.........

　Humanity, a former invader with a complete lack of fangs, flirts with a dhampir disguised as me.

"Huh?　This is what human perception is all about.
It's something like this.

　I chuckled along with the canon.
