Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta Vol 2 Chapter 12

One after another, the 7th Army Corps’ brigade commanders gather in the town of Ivalice .

Currently, there are 8 brigades in the 7th Army Corps, and seeing the town I rule it seems they’re shocked .

First having the nickname Demolis.h.i.+ng War Demon, the troll brigade commander raises a shocked voice .

“This is that town of Ivalice!?”

If I remember right, this troll and the commander Sefiro should have been selected for the capture of Ivalice .

I’m sure the appearance of the gate the commander demolished with 《Meteorite Fall》Meteor>・Strike is stuck in his brain .

It seems he is surprised at the gate that became more splendid than before it was destroyed .

“Ike, just how, what kind of magic did you use to restore this gate?”

“Rotation System”s.h.i.+fts . That and a little trick I guess . ”

I’m not unwilling to share information with comrades .
Since the stronger the 7th Army Corps becomes, we draw one step closer to my dream .

“I see . A rotation system, huh . I’ll use it as a reference . Are there any other secrets?”
“Let’s see . Also properly paying remuneration to humans as well I suppose . ”
“I’ll keep that in mind . There’s the commander’s official notice after all . ”

As he says that, the Demolis.h.i.+ng War Demon props his chin up with his hand .

“At first I was skeptical . What’s the use of handing over money that we sc.r.a.ped up with great trouble to humans, and such . However, how was it when I actually tried it . The efficiency was far better than forcing humans to work . It’s marvel . ”

The one who heard that and jumped in is the werewolf Beio .
Apparently he arrived a moment ago .
Bringing along the famed werewolf force, he pa.s.sed through Ivalice’s gate .

“Right, that’s it . It’s a marvel . It makes the olden days when you forced them to work with just a whip ridiculous . ”

“At times candy is necessary, right . ”

The War Demon summed it up as such .

“That’s right . ”

As I state that, I guide them to Ivalice’s mansion .

Troll the war demon who saw that mansion, “It’s small, huh” let out such an impression .
Beio expressed a similar impression .

“It’s a crude mansion . ”
“I used the previous lord’s mansion as is after all . ”

Hearing that, the two raised voices of surprise .
Usually, when a demon rules over a city it’s common practice to build a new mansion .

Large demons like the troll before me would be inconvenienced if they don’t make the ceiling high, and vain people like Beio try to show off their power by building a new mansion .

Well, I won’t completely deny that method .
It’s a good chance to demonstrate that you’re a powerful person, and as mentioned above demons with problems appear .

Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyos.h.i.+ also did something similar .
I merely used the money for building an extravagant mansion for investment in the town .

That difference might be the difference between the town they rule and mine, but there’s no need to advise them that much .

If I interject that much, I understand at least that I’ll buy animosity .

Also I was warned by Sefiro .
“I’ve warned you that you’re in a position to receive envy and jealousy numerous times . ”
like so .

When I brought them to the meeting room, the other brigade commanders were already waiting there .
Kushanthe manticore was already there, as well as the commander .

Seemingly already taken a drink, she held the wine bottle in one hand, and helping herself she drinks the alcohol .
The moment she sees me, she calls out to me discontentedly .

“I told you to prepare Peruna produced wine right . ”

I should honestly apologize here .

“I’m very sorry . I couldn’t obtain it . ”

Incidentally, that battle had another region’s brand label stuck to it, but the inside is Peruna produced .

Alright, I’m convinced .
This person doesn’t understand the taste of alcohol .
From the next time if I affix Peruna’s label or something to a cheap wine, I’m sure she’ll be satisfied .

As I confirm that, I address Sefiro .

“It seems everyone’s present . ”
“Umu . ”

As she nods she turns to everyone and announces, “Well then, let’s begin the war council . ”

Eveyone, “Ha!” shows their respect reverently, but Sefiro disinterestedly yawns,

“I delegate the rest to the vice-commander . ”

and once again begins drinking .

Following her proclamation from last time’s war council it appears she’s going to leave everything to me .

Is it a pain, is she trusting me, I hesitate in my judgment, but at any rate I decided to advance the war council in place of Sefiro .

“As the commander said, I will progress this war council . ”

I speak not politely, but overbearingly .

Due to my previous life’s habit, even now I’m bad at speaking to my elders high-handedly, but I can at least discern the occasion .

The brigade commanders as well without minding lend me their ears .
When I confirm that, I decided to speak of the strategy’s outline .

“I said it the other day as well, but we will aim to rescue a.r.s.enum . ”

We heard that the other day .
So Kushana spoke .

“What we want to hear is how we’ll beat the humans large army with this small force, just that point . ”

Even within the 7th Army Corps, Kushana is brigade commander of long service .
The way of battle, in other words he understands strategy more than anyone else .

Around when I became brigade commander, I was taught various things by this old man .

Therefore, I understand that this old man is concerned .
Rather I would be troubled if he were optimistic .
What I’m about to do completely ignores the art of war after all .

“I understand everyone is worried . Originally, take a large number of soldiers and crush a small number of soldiers . That is the usual way of war . ”

The werewolf Beio objects .

“We of the werewolf force can hunt 5 knights with one . ”
“However, your numbers are few right?”
“…………”

Beio become silent . Since he was. .h.i.t with the truth I’m sure .

“True, your werewolf force is powerful, but the opponent is a main army of ten thousand centered on knight orders . It won’t go so easily . ”

“Requesting reinforcements from the other army corps, can’t we do that?”

Having the nickname Demolis.h.i.+ng War Demon, the troll asks me .

“We spoke of it in the war council the other day, but that’s impossible . Every army corps have their hands full maintaing their battle front, currently, being able to move freely is just about our army corps . ”

Although, it isn’t like that 7th Army Corps has that much leeway either .
It has just a little more leeway than the other army corps .
As proof the soldiers that could mobilize this time were after all about 2000 .
After all they left the minimum military force in their occupied territories .
A expected we have to win against 10000 humans with 2000 soldiers .

As Beio said if it’s the powerful demons, then an enemy of 5 times is simple . Though as I’ve said before, it’s not like the entire Maou Army is demons .

In each brigade there are only a handful of warriors who can call themselves demons .

Most of them are goblins, orcs, kobolds, composed of lower cla.s.s monsters .

It’s stated that there are 2000 soldiers, but the difference in power might actually be larger .

“………………”

I feel like sighing involuntarily, but I stop .
Since it’s not an att.i.tude to show to subordinates before departure .

A general’s timidness will be transmitted to the commanding officer .
A commanding officer’s timidness will be transmitted to the unit commander .
A unit commander’s timidness will be transmitted to the soldiers .

That’s the army .
There’s nothing good about becoming timid here .
As calm and collected as possible, and making a dignified voice, I declare as such,

“I understand what everyone wants to say . However, this time please follow my strategy completely . ”

“Follow a youngster with no accomplishments?”

No one doubted me like so .
My accomplishments echo within the Maou Army .
Even that Beio didn’t say a complaint .
However, as expected is he frustrated, at the end he ill-naturedly asks me this question .

“If we lose, how will you take responsibility, vice-commander-sama . ”

I have no duty to answer, but I reply .

“That time I’ll graciously relinquish the position of both brigade commander and vice-commander . ”

There were no lies in that att.i.tude .
Challenging a battle that by all rights should never be done, I’m ordering the other brigade commanders to do so .

If I don’t have that amount of resolve, then I don’t have the right to send my comrades to near certain death .
Was that resolve transmitted I wonder, the meeting room is wrapped in silence .
I wonder if Beio ran out of patience, unusually he spoke with a docile expression .

“This great me will fight at full strength ok, so don’t give clumsy commands . ”

As always a spirit of rivalry, in his own way this guy is trusting me .
I’m just a bit thankful for that consideration .
