Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 310

70. Demon King Demiurge, age 668 (2)

The news of Demiurge’s ascension to age 668 was not disseminated for several days.

Nevertheless, the rumor quickly spread among the nobles of the demon world.

At the same time, a dramatic change occurred in the hierarchy of nobles.

The Nejar faction completely collapsed.

In fact, the day Nezar was defeated by Deus,

the power of the Nezar faction was almost completely broken.

Still, Queen Migo, who was 667 years old as Demiurge, still ruled the demon world, so her power, however thin, was maintained.

But now that too is over.

668 years old was the 666 years old of the once dethroned Demon King.

It was confusing, but the message was clear.

The demons who followed Deus attacked upward again.

In fact, although their numbers were not large,

those who did not receive Nezar’s benefits were naturally treated as pro-Deusites.

The representative was Alex.

“Zouguun!”

“Hey look at this shameless bastard. “Who was it that took the lead in chasing you away, Zhou Guun?”

“There was nothing we could do because we were a minority. “But I had to take the lead so I could show my lord my last respect.”

“What a bountiful harvest. So why do you call me Jouguun?”

“But how long do you really plan to rule as king?”

“I don’t know, man. Now that I think about it, I suddenly become curious. “If I quit and Migo becomes king again, will he be 669 years old?”

Alex groaned for a long time at the enormous difficulty.

The place where Deus was now was the Demon King’s office.

I was enjoying the wind from the demon world at the tea table on the terrace with Migo.

Even though I washed my eyes and tried to look for the scenery of the past, I couldn’t find it.

Eidos, the gloomy royal city of Mantap (M塔), took on a vivid black color under the brilliant sunlight.

“Why on earth did you come back?”

“You don’t like it?”

“Shall I answer honestly? Or should I be polite?”

“Rude guy.”

“Would you like to be like my lord?”

“I don’t know. Things like the thoughts of weak people. “It must have been a good time because they could do as they pleased with my daughter as their puppet.”

“Not really. Because Migo was a military commander.”

“thank you.”

Migo smiled and bowed her head.

Alex let out a long sigh.

“I wonder when I will be able to meet such a good monarch again in the demon world!”

“Didn’t you learn not to brag about your previous girlfriend in front of your new girlfriend?”

“Do you want that from your kidnapped son-in-law?”

“Oh, that was a bit plausible?”

“So, if you really want to do it properly, learn the Demon King’s dance. There are now less than nine years left until the end of this century.”

“Why are you learning that?”

“Everyone has learned from the Demon King.”

“So who was stronger than me?”

“Isn’t there a problem with your status as a demon king?”

“Are you saying that we should use flashy martial arts while shouting some kind of believable herbivore name?”

“It seems like we’re making sense now.” “It’s okay, if you’re going to say something like that, go ahead.” “No, it doesn’t work. Now that you are the devil, you must listen to me again. “A wise ruler listens carefully to the advice of his subjects.”

“I think I said it before, but I like tyrants. “I will live my life the way I want.”

“If that’s the case, just quit being a demon lord and go.”

“Don’t make me say it again and again, okay? Besides, you’re nice too. Because he has become a grand duke again.”

“I’m afraid my lord will go on a rampage even more.” I just gave in. Because it is true that I am strong.”

“That is the virtue of a tyrant. “I’m worried that this bastard will do something to harass people, so I just obey.”

“I really don’t know. “What are you trying to do?”

“Dad came because he was worried about the upcoming war.”

Migo spoke and looked at Deus. I was worried that he might get angry.

However, Deus’ expression did not change when he heard Migo’s story.

Migo continued.

“They say the number of people calling for war among humans is increasing. “You were worried that the kingdom might suffer great damage in that war, so

you committed the disgrace of betraying the oath you had made.”

“War… you mean? However, the ink is not yet dry on the peace treaty.”

“They will try to keep their promises as much as possible. But if they are confident of victory, they will definitely attack. “A treaty is only valuable when there is a counterparty.”

Deus, who was listening to their conversation, snorted a laugh.

“What is it that the Dukes overlooked that this child would think about?”

“Is that possible?”

“Or do you even believe in something? “Isn’t there someone who is in secret with humans?”

“Absolutely not!”

“How do you know? “What the other Six Dukes think.”

“My lord, you don’t know much about our seven dukes. “Whether we sleep or wake up, we are doing our best for the future of the Demon World.”

“I guess it’s for your glory. “He’s very good at selling the country to strong guys.”

“Please don’t treat me like a traitor.”

“So you won’t sell if we face another crisis? country.”

“It was… for survival.”

“Well, since we’re saying that, shall we check it out? “Whether the humans will attack or not?”

“How…

Cutting off Alex’s words, Deus looked at Migo.

“Migo.”

“Your father.” “

Do you know what you need to do best

to become a great demon ?”

“Do you mean Paedo?”

“No, no. That’s rather useless. “Before I counted.”

“Then•…

“Cheating.”

“Are you cheating?”

“You have to deceive yourself, deceive others, deceive the world, and even deceive God. “Only after that can you survive.”

Deus laughed while looking at Migo, who had a puzzled expression on her face.

“Shall we try this? Cut food supplies to the troops on the northern border by half.

“Don’t tell me the reason at all, but give me an order to take care of the food shortage on my own.”

Alex shouted in surprise.

“Zuguuun! Please have pity on the demons!”

“You won’t die if you starve that much. “Demons all have tough life lines.”

“My lord!”

“It’s an order. just do it.”

“That’s too much.”

Alex grumbled and left the Demon King battle.

As I left, I noticed Migo. It was as if he was asking Deus to stop him.

Migo spoke to Deus as soon as Alex left the room.

“Dad, but reducing food…

“What is the biggest reason why humans misjudged? I noticed that there was a shortage of food here. “I even saved the land, but I’m one step too late.”

“ah!”

“If it looks like there is a real food shortage,

we will rush to war. A war started hastily is bound to fail.”

“Then all you have to do is let them know that fact and make them act.”

“You have to deceive me first.”

“Me?”

“Because it’s hard to tell which one is a demon captured by humans. “The fact that information about food was leaked means that there is someone among the demons who is leaking information to humans.”

“I guess so!”

“When the soldiers on the front line start starving, they will definitely cross the border.”

“We can fight back then.”

“No, that’s just taking the lead. I have to take it deeper. If we continue to lose to the point where we even give up our capital, only then will they believe us. The demon world is ruined. “This is the second trick to the enemy.”

“Then what does it mean to deceive the world and deceive God?”

“I just said that for no reason to be cool.”

Migo burst out laughing.

Deus ruffled his daughter’s hair and leaned against the backrest.

“If you kill too many people… you won’t have the courage to look at Zeke. This fight won’t be easy. The heart of the human kingdom must be broken. “That is harder than killing a soldier and taking a castle.”

“It breaks my heart. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

The northern border of the Demon World was the front line. Just as the worst enemy for humans is the demons, humans were also a scary enemy for the demons.

That’s why the northern border was special.

It was true that there was a shortage of food throughout the Demon World. Still, everything was always abundantly supplied to the northern border.

But suddenly the food was cut in half.

It was so generous that even if it was given in half, it would not threaten survival.

However, it was enough to cause soldiers on the front lines to collectively enter a state of advanced dieting.

Within a week, the soldiers’ complexions changed to dull. The number of soldiers assigned to the

castle watchtower built to monitor the north

was reduced by half.

It was because he had been sent out to hunt the mugwort monster.

There was widespread dissatisfaction in the army in the north.

Originally, the Demons were a kind of united nation where numerous tribes were united by power.

Therefore, even if the situation got a little worse, control would disappear.

The unrest that occurred in Leyte, a watchtower fortress on the northern front line, was one such incident. It

started between

Minotaur and Centaur .

The two sub-humans, who usually looked down on each other by calling each other ‘cow’ and ‘horse’, got into a fight over food.

Both the cow and the horse enjoyed eating meat, and the amount they ate was frightening.

The two ate so much food that the fort’s food supply quickly ran out.

The two races fought over the little food left between them, and the fortress itself eventually collapsed.

The unrest in Fortress Leyte

reached the human army not far away.

The one staying at the frontline fortress was Aquarius Paladin, one of the Zodiac Knights. He was a paladin of Aquarius.

Aquarius Paladin Romard Pan Holy Raspberry looked at the enchanted cylinder.

It was an artifact that could not be compared to a telescope made by polishing a lens.

“The representative of the Minotaur tribe and the representative of the Kentaros tribe are fighting.”

The wizard Popros, the chief of staff of the Knights of Aquarius and a fellow warrior,

saw the right arm of Paladin Romad.

His arms were replaced with metal ones. The left arm can only serve as a stand for the sword.

Ten years ago, Romard lost an arm in a battle with the Demon King.

Even if he talked about retirement, no one would call him dishonorable.

But he came back.

In the war that took place in the demon world last year, he was completely revived, performing even better than before he lost his arm.

Popros slowly opened his mouth.

“What do you think?”

“If I were the commander, I would call for an advance…

” “Askaron’s leadership seems to be still hesitating. “Because Zeke and Regin, the two warriors of the Holy Beach family, did not participate in this war.”

“Holy Bitch… It was originally a supply warrior family. In just one year, he went so far as to kill the Demon King due to acute disability. There are people who say this. Zeke, he made a pact with the devil.”

“It is said that the angel Scottiel personally

proved his innocence.”

“‘Now’.”

Romard gritted his teeth.

“Just avoiding war with the damned demon makes them suspicious. Rather, they are people who might become enemies of humans if they join together, Popros.”

” yes.”

“Feed the soldiers and let them take a nap. “I’ll hit it at dawn.”

“Are you going to be okay?”

“The Knights of Aquarius are like my private army. “You get reprimanded after you fail.”
