'Secondly, hypothetically - hypothetically - if, after interviewing people about the work they want to do - if someone refuses to do all of it, we'll deal with them. What would you like to do?

　Lady Tamura chooses her words carefully and asks me in a painful tone that's a change from earlier.

''In simpler terms--is that the way you want to deal with the lords who say they don't want to work?
Yes, yes....

　We can give unified orders to the fiefdoms, but we can't give them orders individually.

　There are three orders currently issued to the territorial population

　1. I forbid you to attack me.
　Two, I forbid conflict between those under my control.
　3. you are forbidden to send any information to the outside world without my permission

　I could give them orders to obey my orders, but that would make all the lords and ladies of the realm, like the subordinates I created without any leaks, only able to be yes-men and act passively.

　In other words, it was impossible to force those who declared they didn't want to work to work with orders.

　Then what should the lords who were not at their will be allowed to do?　

There are two ways I can help you, and one of them is to get rid of it.

　Disposition is not the same as creating or smelting by operating a smart phone. It's when I or one of my subordinates takes a direct hand to bury them.

　There might be room for rehabilitation, so let's build a prison too!　I can't think of anything to do with it.

When it comes to punishment...?
It's simple. I'll bury you myself. That's it.
May I ask you another way?
Banishment.

　Unlike punishment, banishment is an action that can be performed by controlling a smartphone.

　Its effect is--

Banishment...?
'It's an act that strips me of my status as a lord and banishes me out of the territory I control.
''I see.... Which means do you actually intend to use, Master Theon?

　Lady Tamura asks me in a fearful tone of voice.

　Lords - even if you kill a person under the same control, you won't get 1 experience value.

　Then the answer is--.

Banishment.
Thank you. Thank you for your consideration.

　Ms. Tamura pats her chest at my answer.

　I didn't tell Ms. Tamura, but the words follow the words "you're banished" - "and then we'll kill you outside of our controlled territory". Once you 《exile》 them, they are a clear enemy. You'll get the experience. Above all, I can't leave an enemy who knows information inside my control area and who is antagonistic to me unattended.

　I did not lie I stated an answer that did not tell the whole truth, however.

　After that, I sent the two of them out to inquire about the work they wanted to do to the people of the territory.


　◆


　Interviewing about 110,000 territorial residents?
　I had the humans who had been working hard with Souske on the soil to help with the interviews, but it would take some time.

　I decided to use my free time to gather information from the outside world.

　Huh?　What is this...?

"Special feature: Government designation!　The Thirteen Deadly Stars (Zodiac) That Drove Japan to the Depths of Terror

　Thirteen Evil Stars (Zodiacs) -- 13 demon kings of Hazard Rank S, designated by the government.

　They control vast territories and continue to expand their territories at an ongoing rate - a disaster for Japan.

　The dominant territories ruled by the Thirteen Evil Stars (Zodiacs) are all deep in the hierarchy, and the demons that appear are a threat in both number and quality.

　After that, special articles on the 13 evil stars (Zodiac) were written one after another.

　I was selected as one of those 13 Evil Stars (Zodiac).

　The trouble is that a lot of information about the Demon King of the Thirteen Deadly Stars (Zodiac) is all over the internet. It was written extensively about my race being a bloodsucking species, and the composition of my subordinates was also exposed. Furthermore, I was in awe of the thirteen deadly stars (Zodiacs) and awe that they would stay away...the invasion was being promoted in order to stop them from expanding their territory.

　So that's why there have been so many human invaders equipped with silver items lately........

　There are a number of other articles that are of interest to me.

　First of all, the mechanism by which 《Ruling》 was successful was exposed to humanity.

''To endure for three hours with a heart that won't succumb to the Demon King within the Alert zone.

　There's more.

"When the Alert sounds, the Demon King can pinpoint the location of the human race.

　The information was also accurate, such as.

　Furthermore, there were also falsehoods hidden in the truth - propaganda by mankind.

"I succumbed to the Demon King's recommendation - life as a slave!

　The human beings who succumbed to the Demon King through the Rulership--their lands became slaves. Some will be forced into absolute obedience to the Demon King, some will be used as disposable shields, some as food for demons, and some will be forced to work in never-ending labor. It is stated, "I wonder if this was taken by invading humanity, even politely?　The article also included pictures of humanity crying in tattered clothes and being used as a shield by demons.

　And the closing words of the article were--never give in!

　It's the worst........too bad. The difficulty of the even more difficult 《Ruling》 becomes even greater.

　Just looking at the article makes me get my head in a bunch, so it must be a great success as propaganda.

　We need to plan a countermeasure for this........

　A number of other rewards were also listed that would be sent to those who liberated the control realm. It seems that the reward amount is 300 million yen if you free the dominant realm controlled by the 13 deadly stars (Zodiac). The reward for releasing a normal dominion realm is 30 million, so it's ten times as much.

　If I liberated all of my dominion territory, wouldn't it run out of money?　And that's an inappropriate thing to think about.

　Finally, I decided to gather information about Ishikawa Prefecture.

　The 'Kanazawa Liberation Front', represented by the 'Sage of Kanazawa' and the 'Sage of Kanazawa', contrary to its name, was targeting the territory controlled by Demon King Kaoru in Hakusan City as an invasion target.

　There were three reasons why they were targeting the area controlled by Demon King Kaoru, not my area of control, but the area controlled by Demon King Kaoru.

　One was that Demon King Kaoru was setting up a 《governance》 against the land of Hakusan City. From a defense standpoint, Demon King Kaoru was probably a greater threat to the remaining humans in Ishikawa Prefecture.

　For one, the survival rate would be higher if they invaded the territory controlled by Demon King Kaoru. It was a simple reason.

　For one, the two people who represent the 'Kanazawa Liberation Front' have a strong trauma against the Demon King who rules Kanazawa City - me.

　For my part, I would like to expect them to crush each other until the infrastructure of the area they control is in place, but there are also many humans who are invading my area of control to get rich, and others who are invading to take back Kanazawa City.

　I had to wait and see what they were up to - would they decide to take control of Kanazawa City when they saw the opportunity?

　I continued to gather information from the internet.
