"Our prediction is that there will be no enemy counterattack, but each of you must be ready to tackle it!

　If my prediction is correct the human race won't come to the defense, and Demon King Kaoru will be quiet.

　But it's just a prediction. I took all possible precautions, and with 10,000 men under my command, I set up a "rule" in the remaining land of Hakusan City.

　Four hours later.
　The Ruling was successfully completed. As I expected, there was no resistance from the humans and no interference from Demon King Kaoru.

　Three days later.
　All the rest of the land in Hakusan City was also ruled over. As for the land in Hakusan City, they were able to take possession of it without any obstacles.

''Well ... here's the real deal.

　After resting for an hour to recover my CP, I create the dominant area I just "ruled" as I had devised beforehand.

　It's done.....

　The dominant area I completed this time is a forest type. Ten dominion areas, including the newly dominion area of Hakusan City, were connected by a transition device installed in the Dark Zone, and the lower levels were transformed into a labyrinth with plenty of traps and passages.

　In the area of control are low-cost, low-experience goblins and highly durable living mails. A werewolf is placed in the control area, which has excellent cost performance in that it doesn't require equipment. The ghouls are also very cosmopolitan, but they are still stupid. In order to avoid the folly of letting the enemy gain experience, I decided not to use them this time.

　The concept of the dominant realm I created this time - was to stall for time.

　There were three futures I could choose from.

　1. If Demon King Kaoru attacked Nonoshi City, I would invade Demon King Kaoru's domain.

　If I attacked Nonoichi, Demon King Kaoru would invade my territory.

　3. if I ignore Nonoichi and invade Demon King Kaoru's domain, the human race will invade my domain.

　I don't know how much time it will take to make the first future happen.

　If that's the case, my choice of future would be - 2 or 3.

　Therefore, I've chosen the future of 2.

　If I invade Nonoshi City, the Demon King Kaoru will invade my territory.

　Not bad. Let's hear it for him!

　I'm coming for you!　I'd like to say that, but under the current circumstances, it's impossible to defend against Demon King Kaoru's invasion while attacking Nonoichi City.

　Then what should we do?　The answer I've come up with is to hand over my domain to Demon King Kaoru.

　How many of these domains will be taken from Nonoichi City until I destroy the remaining humans in Ishikawa Prefecture?　1? 5? 10? Maybe more?

　You can have it.　It's a necessary expense!　If it's been taken from you, take it back!　It's much better than staying stagnant while the Demon King and humanity in other prefectures continue to grow.

　I presented several control areas to the Demon King Kaoru and chose to use that time to annihilate the Kanazawa Liberation Army.

"This is all hands on deck from here on out. We will wage war on humanity with all our strength.

　I look around at my men and declare, "First, we will secure the base to invade Nonoichi City Hall.

"First, we need to secure a base to invade Nonoichi City Hall.

　The strategy for this sweeping operation was the same as the previous attack on the city of Suzu. First, we will rule the land near Nonoichi City Hall to secure the area we will control as a frontline base. After that, it will reduce the number of enemies, break their hearts, bring them to their knees, and rule over Nonoichi City Hall.

　Unlike the last time, the troublesome thing is that the Kanazawa Liberation Army does not have all of its forces holed up in Nonoichi City City City Hall, and it has allocated its numbers to the surrounding areas as well. It was impossible for them to succeed in "ruling" in the form of a surprise attack like the last time.

　If that was the case, let's at least.......take away the enemy's ground advantage.

　The buildings that the enemy used as their base of defense were removed from the range of the Ruling and they would attempt to rule at the very edge.

　Even so, the Ruling will soon be exposed and the humans in Nonoichi City will move to defend themselves.

　Although they might be able to lead to a favorable situation to some extent - in the end, they will be forced to do so.

　And this time, the longer the success of the 《Governance》 is delayed, the more my area of control will be taken away and the more the Demon King Kaoru's area of control will expand.

''We will now begin our invasion of Nonoichi City!

　I had given the signal to my men to march in.


　◆


　The army that will be invading Nonoichi City this time - a total of 12,000 soldiers.

　First of all, in order to set up a line of defense for the success of the Governing, Lina, Kotetsu, Takaharu, Sara, Hibiki, Chloe, Leila, Flora, Iron, Red, and Izayoi have advanced 11 troops led by them.

　By the time they reach the defensive line, there are nearly 1,000 humans on standby, according to reconnaissance... how do they move?

　This time, in order to keep in step, we all travel on foot.

　From the enemy's point of view, there are 11,000 inhuman monsters marching in procession. It's a visually intimidating sight, but the sound of scraping metal, the footsteps of a large army, and the sound of the gongs Akira had made for us to boost our morale, all add to that intimidating feeling.

　This time the line of defense will be laid out--Ishikawa Institute of Technology.

　Located on the border of Kanazawa City and Nonono City, the university was abandoned as unsuitable for defense due to its surrounding location.

　Nevertheless, there are still about 1,000 humans residing there...

　The smartphone displays Takahar's perspective as he walks at the front of the line.

　If we go a little further, Takahara will see the Ishikawa Institute of Technology in his field of vision.

　His subordinates, who were not hiding their presence, sounding their footsteps and playing gongs, were marching onward. If there are any humans left at Ishikawa Institute of Technology, they are sure to be aware of our presence.

　--Every one of you, stay alert!　Iron Corps! The snake squad!　Lock shields and prepare for attack!

　Following my orders, Iron's troops and Hibiki's troops take the lead and begin to march in while holding their shields.

　--Chloe's troops!　Shoot the arrows at the buildings ahead!

　As soon as Ishikawa Institute of Technology comes into view, he orders Chloe's troops to attack with arrows.

　You can't damage a building with an arrow attack but if there's a human being lurking around, there should be a reaction.

　.........

　.........

　.........

　The enemy's figure, voice .......both unresponsive.

　Have they escaped?

　--Search the perimeter!

　Five minutes.

　--We are now ready to rule!

　The annihilation campaign of the Kanazawa Liberation Army - the human race that survived in Ishikawa Prefecture - had begun.
