It's been 15 days since the Dwarf Demon King invaded Hakui's territory.

　Only one of the 13 areas of enemy control remains. Hakui has reached the final stage of unification.

"Mr. Sion!　Finally, the long-awaited Dwarf Demon King will be under your control.
Yeah.

　I respond appropriately to Kanon's words, who smiles brainlessly.

'Oro?　Doesn't look so happy, does it?　Do you have something to worry about?
What do you think of the second half of the invasion?
The second half of the invasion?　I can't see what's going on, unlike Mr. Theon, so I don't really know, but the pace of the invasion was fast, wasn't it?

　Canon replies uncertainly, tilting his head.

'There were very few enemies in the second half.
"--?　So you're saying that you've given up?　Or--
'I think it's fair to assume that we've gathered our main force into the last area of control...'
I see. So the final invasion of the territory you control will be harder than ever before?

　I follow Kanon's words, and he considers my thoughts on my words.

''That's one thing, but........ Let's say I'm the enemy demon king--Akira.
'What?　The other demon king's name is Akira?

　I ignore Kanon's words as he snaps the back of the conversation and I spin the story in my head.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. It's reasonable to think of it as 【Body】 if you specialize in training. If that's the case, there's only 4 BP left to grow knowledge and magic power to D and that's it.
That's the best way to do it without wasting BP.
'Yes. I mean, I can't think of a better status.

　The considerations I just mentioned are the patterns that Demon King Akira has assigned in the optimal solution to meet me. It's possible that he's pouring BP into smelting, or that he's saving it without shaking BP. In that case, Demon King Akira's ability would be lower than expected.

　Next is Demon King Akira's subordinates. Since his level is 10 or higher, a special subordinate - the equivalent of Vampire Baron's subordinate - can be created. The number of dominant regions he controlled when they were first opposing each other was thirteen, so Demon King Akira's maximum CP was 2300, and as confirmed by Takahar and Sarah, a special subordinate that could be created at level 10 would cost a maximum of 1000 CP. It's hard to imagine that only the bloodsucking, beast and elf species would consume the maximum CP of 1000 and the other races would have different requirements.

　If that is the case, then Demon King Akira can create a maximum of two special subordinates. However, it's hard to imagine that Demon King Akira, who is good at smelting, would have a maximum CP of 300. If that's the case, is one special subordinate the limit?

　Next, I'll say under my command, Kanon, Yataro, Sara, Takaharu, and Saburo -- formerly under the Demon King. Lina -- under the former humanity. The existence of these could be an irregular element as well.......do they exist under the Demon King Akira?

　My guess is - it doesn't exist.

　If there is such a being, it will appear in defense before the dominant area becomes the last one.

　In contrast, my strength is--I, the head of Body B, Magic B, Alchemy B, and Creation B. Former Demon King Takaharu, Sarah, and Saburo. Lina, who is as strong as the former Demon King. Other generals, led by Cain, Kaede, Chloe, and Leila, have power equal to or greater than that of Demon King Akira's generals.

　And Demon King Akira must have been able to see the difference in their power through his smart phone.

　Based on this information........

Does the Demon King Akira have any chance...?
'What?　On the contrary, is there an element of losing?!

　My muttering, which omitted the thoughts in between, startled the canon.

''That wasn't wordy enough. Do you think Demon King Akira has any chance of winning?
Oh..... Is that what you mean? I don't think so.

　Kanon answers my question in a matter-of-fact tone.

'Right?'
"--?　It's a winnable battle, what's bothering you?
''I don't know if it's the first time we've seen each other, or if it's the beginning... but Demon King Akira knows how strong we are, right?
Well, if you take away 12 of their territory, I'm sure you'll get used to it.
"Demon King Akira is a dwarf, right?　These are dwarves who are good at smelting, right?
Yeah, I guess so.
Can't you get a lot of guys under your command intact?
I see..... I see.....

　If I invade with my best members, it will be easy to control the territory I control. However, if I do that, I'll lose a lot of dwarves who are going to be under my control along the way.

　A bloodless invasion would be preferable if possible. If I'm being extravagant, I'd like to use the extra CP to create special subordinates before I surrender.

　What would be the necessary steps to get them to accept surrender - bloodlessness?

　First of all, does Demon King Akira know about the "Surrender"?

　Secondly, the merits of surrendering - the former Demon King's livelihood.

　In order to clear these two hurdles--it would be best to make a recommendation along with the former Demon King's subordinates.

　If that's the case, the members to invade would be me, Takaharu, Sarah, Saburou... and then I'll add canon to the list. I'd like to take Yataro with me as well, but I don't want our defenses to be neglected. Next, I'll take Lina's and Chloe's soldiers as a threat. I'm sure Akira is the one who knows the capabilities of his soldiers better than anyone else.

　The mastermind behind the creation of this Kowaleta world has implanted a subconscious in the human race (Rowe) and the Demon King (Chaos) so that they dislike each other, and the Demon King (Chaos) so that they dislike each other as well. If I myself was forced to surrender to a Demon Lord I didn't know, I would say "What?　Don't be silly! And you will be enraged. But the fear of imminent death outweighs that subconscious.

　This time, you could start by trying to persuade it to do so.

　If that fails, we just have to make it obey by force as usual.

　We've decided on a course of action.

　I would summon my soldiers and go to Hakui's last remaining area of control.
