An hour has passed since they set up the 《Ruling》.

　The cleanup of the hostile forces outside Nonoichi City City Hall was completed. The second floor inside Nonoichi City City Hall was overrun, and only the third floor remained.

　Looking at my smartphone, I see yellow dots that indicate surrender, and red dots that indicate hostility.

　The number of red dots indicating hostility was far less than 1,000.

　There were times when they pushed through with force, there were times when they played their cards right, but the last straw was an internal collapse....

　What a stupid end to the story.

　There is only one more force left to defeat until the unification of Ishikawa Prefecture....

　Demon King Kaoru...................

　From what I've observed of their invasion of our controlled territory, their individual strength is high enough.

　The main force of the enemy is probably Izayoi, as I say under my control - the Baron class control. And the former demon king I had subordinated. I couldn't confirm the appearance of former humans like Lina and Kotetsu, but it wasn't necessarily zero.

　Considering the difference in weapons, Takaharu, Kotetsu, and Lina would be able to win one-on-one. But what about Chloe and Leila?　If you fight the main force of the Demon King Kaoru, you will probably lose.

　The style of the battle against the Demon King is very different from that of the anthropoid.

　Whereas the battle against humanity, where numbers and strategy are the key to victory, the battle against the Demon King is an invasion of the dominant territory - the key to victory is the power of the individual and the coordination of the platoon.

　The defenders have too much of an advantage in the invasion of the dominant territory........

　While the invaders have a limit to the number of people, the defenders have no limit. This is a very significant fetter. Is it best to invade while slowly reducing the enemy's strength and raising their level?

　I'm just holding out my hand during my reign, and when I have a lot of time on my hands, I'm repeatedly simulating my next battle...

Theon, do you have a minute?

　He was approached by Lina, who had been entrusted with the protection of the surrendered humans.

'What's up?'　What's the matter with you?
I heard from your grandfather.
From the Cottages?　What do you want?
'Are you aware of your grandfathers' situation?　And only

　--?

　If you ask me if I'm on top of it, I'm not.

　The battle is already a digested game. There can't be any upheaval.

'I've certainly told you what your grandfather said.

　Lina told her that much and then went back to her original position.

　I decided to use my smartphone to check on Kotetsu's situation.

　Through Kotetsu's vision, I checked the situation around me.

　The more than 100 human beings trapped by the wall are surrounded by their men.

　--Kotetsu, we have the situation under control. What's going on?

Master Theon, do you hear me?

　Kotetsu speaks to me as if he were talking to himself.

　--I hear them.

'What do you think they're saying?'

　Kotetsu's gaze is directed at them - the 'Sage of Kanazawa' and the 'Sage of Kanazawa'.

'Ta, please ... help me ... oh, I'm good. Just save my friends' lives.
Please!　Help!　We didn't want to fight, either!

　It showed two people desperately begging for their lives with a desperate look on their faces.

　Hmm. I control my smartphone and switch to the 《Ruling》 screen.

　It's yellow........ The two people who were saying such bravado have completely given in. On the contrary, in the humanity around the 'Sage of Kanazawa' and the 'Sage of Kanazawa', I could still see multiple red dots indicating defiance.

　Kotetsu is asking me - the treatment of the "Sage of Kanazawa" and "Saint of Kanazawa".

　If left unchecked, those two will be under my command. The long-awaited Healer and Buffer. For the Astor Empire, which is preparing for a conflict with the Demon King Kaoru, they are a grateful existence.

　But - they have abandoned Lina.

　If you're under my command, I can bind you with orders, so there's no need to worry about betrayal.

　I can also bind their actions with orders........ But in other words, I must always bind them with orders and constantly monitor their words and actions.

　''The 'Sage of Kanazawa' is still a prospect from what Lina told me.

　However, "The Sage of Kanazawa" is no good. From what I've heard, she is rotten in spirit. She's a different vector than Takaharu, Sarah, Hibiki, and Saburou, and she's a problem child....or potentially a disaster.

　If you asked Lina, what would she say?

　Probably - I'll just answer, 'I'll leave it to Zion.

　Do you want me to tame the 'Saints of Kanazawa'?

　Nope..... This is all I'm worried about at this point. If I put him under my command, my worries will increase even more.

　What will the "Sage of Kanazawa" think if you cut down the "Sage of Kanazawa"?

　Do you swear your allegiance to me?　I killed my friends in cold blood....

　Are the words of the Wise Man of Kanazawa - "Please spare my friends' lives" - the true intention?　If he had the guts to do that, he wouldn't send Mizoguchi to his death. In other words, a pose.

　In the first place, I told the Kanazawa Liberation Army - ''I will not accept only the surrender of the 'Sage of Kanazawa' and the 'Sage of Kanazawa'.

　Then, as a ruler, I'll fulfill my promise.

　I'm not the kind of person you want by undermining my trust.

　--I'm not going to be able to get rid of them.

Are you sure?

　Kotetsu will confirm my orders.

　--I gave my word. Those two will not be allowed to surrender.

Yes, sir.

　--Wait.

　I'll stop Kotetsu from reaching for his sword.

　--Cut him down after my words.

Yes, sir.

　I took out my [loudspeaker].

''To the 'Sage of Kanazawa' - Hideya Ando and the 'Sage of Kanazawa' - Saori Kayama, I say to you. I will listen to your last wishes!
Oh, really...
Good, good...

　The two of them let out a sigh of relief at my words that were announced through the [loudspeaker].

''As you wish - with the lives of the two of you, I accept the surrender of the rest of humanity!
What?　What? No!
Oh, my God, I didn't say that!

　Their expressions changed from relief to despair as they received my words.

'Kotetsu!　Takhar!　Cut them both down!
Wait, wait!　I can use--
'Wait!　I'm the only one--
Yes!
Yes!

　Desperate and seeking life, The Wise Woman of Kanazawa and The Sage of Kanazawa are cut down.

'To the Kanazawa Liberation Army!　You have 10 seconds to drop your weapons and surrender!　Attention all units!　You have 10 seconds to cut down every human being with a weapon!　Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one ... kill it.

　With the end of the death countdown, all of the last remaining red dots disappeared.

　Three hours after setting up the 《Ruling》, all humanity (Lowe) had disappeared from the land of Ishikawa Prefecture.

　All humanity (Lowe) had disappeared from the land of Ishikawa Prefecture.
