Now, let's think of a strategy for the future....

　I have a number of strategies in my head. At the same time, I also pondered the countermeasures to the strategies that came to mind.

　Over and over again in my mind, I spun the story (simulation) of the war between Demon King Zion's army and the coalition of humans in Suzu City.

　In one story, they suffered a heavy defeat.

　In one story, they came one step closer and were defeated.

　In one story, they grabbed the victory, but lost many of their families.

　In one story--.

　I weave layers of stories in my head - none of them with satisfactory results.

　Isn't the canon strategy I previously rejected the most efficient?　It even seems like a good idea.

　There are a number of obstacles to an ideal victory.

　One is the number of enemies.
　28,000 is a bit too many. If they were attacking you, you could think of a strategy to take advantage of the terrain, but in this case, you are the one to attack. In this case, the best way to counteract their numbers would be to counter them with numbers.

　One is the quality of the enemy.
　Although the quality of the enemy is only as good as our initial reconnaissance, a group of Jinhae is quite troublesome. If the servants had gained a lot of experience through the invasion, they would not be defeated... but then, they would lack the number of powerful servants. There were more than fifty people in a quick glance in the group of Jinhae. In contrast, there were less than 20 of my subordinates who could compete with them. How many of my enemies in the field of battle could I possibly defeat in the night?　How many enemies of the camp cloak can Lina take on?　Would Takahar...?　Would Sarah...?　Would Chloe...?　Would Leila...?
　No matter how many simulations I run, the results are all just my imagination. If I lose (or die), I'm done. A cautious response is required.

　One thing is the existence of the "Sword Sage".
　The point of this battle is - the 'Sword Sage'. Looking at the news on the internet, there's no doubt that he's the heart and soul of the enemy. If he is defeated, the enemy will fall apart. Nevertheless, the 'Sword Sage' was a monster to say the least. Me at night, or Izayoi. Or Takaharu, the former Demon King who was close to the strongest among his subordinates, and Lina, the former hero. Would we win in a one-on-one fight?　If I were to wish to be extravagant I'd like to have him as my subordinate. As expected, that would be a tall order........

　The necessary measure to overcome these obstacles is - a stronghold.

　It's best to counter their numbers with numbers. But in reality, there are restrictions on the number of subordinates that can go out. As long as those restrictions are not in place, we have the advantage in numbers, as we have the Creation of the Attendants. That restriction - that no one but the military and its subordinates are allowed to leave the dominion territory - is an absolute truth in this Kowaleta world. This cannot be cleared, but it can be relaxed.

　Even if your subordinates are defeated, even if they are defeated you can replenish them.

　Offering up miscellaneous fish for nothing will only increase the enemy's strength. However, in order to level up, you need to control your smartphone. Your level may increase when you defeat the enemy, but it won't be enhanced. Then it's a short battle, and you can keep attacking to the point where you don't even have time to wield BP.

　Then, the bottleneck will be distance. As it is now, the distance between the battlefield and the area under his control is too far away, even if he wants to replenish his subordinates. That's why there was a need to create a base of operations - a control area - near the city hall of Suzu.

　Creating a control area near the battlefield would also have other advantages.

　One of them is to secure a retreat from the battlefield.
　As much as possible, the military forces do not want to be defeated. If they are in danger, you want them to retreat immediately. If a base is created in the vicinity, the probability of a successful retreat is greatly increased.

　For one thing, it improves the ground advantage.
　The number of the enemy amounts to 28,000. There is even a risk of being surrounded on all sides. However, if you create a base, at least you will be safe behind it.

　What happens if we succeed in creating a base...?

　I start spinning the story in my head again.

　Not everything is going to turn out the way I spun the story in my head, but the results are better than the story I just spun in my head.

　The general strategy has been confirmed.

　The first step is to create a base of operations, to rule the area around Suzu City Hall.

　Before that, let's build up a more than sufficient force with the creation of a new team and the training of new items.

　I'm going to start making the final preparations in order to unify the north of the prefecture.

　20 days later.

　Preparations for the invasion of Zhuzhou City Hall are complete.

　After hitting the screen of his smartphone repeatedly to the point of tendonitis, he created 8,000 new subordinates. Together with his original pack, the number of pack members exceeded 30,000, even if you exclude the E-ranked pack members with superior fertility. Thanks to the efforts of a group of dwarves led by Akira, we were also able to enhance the items we equipped them with.

　The locations of the key bases for this invasion have also been perfectly measured.

　For a week after I failed to conduct my reconnaissance--the Reign--the humans were on high alert. However, after ten days had passed, the internet news began to carry the words 'The High King of Kanazawa Abandoning His Invasion of Suzu City? !" began to appear on the internet news.

　In order to take advantage of this article, I didn't even set foot in Suzu City, but on the contrary, I "ruled" a part of Oyabe City in Toyama Prefecture, which had been underdeveloped. At the time of the Ruling, I deliberately made some of the humans flee, and I myself wrote on the internet, 'Demon King Zion has given up on invading Suzu City and has started invading Oyabe City,' and proceeded to lower the alarm in Suzu City.

　As a result, the internet news said--'The High King of Kanazawa gives up invading Suzu City!

　And we have succeeded in changing the wording of the headline.

　Unsurprisingly, humanity in the city of Pearl Harbor has not completely let down its guard. But it's true that they've let their guard down.

　--The time is ripe.

　I went to create the base of operations, the key to the invasion of Suzu City.
