Chapter 23
I had decided to return after the audience with the demon king was over, but after I left the meeting room, aide Barce stopped me and said.
The ryujins have the image of being difficult to approach because of their lizard faces, but in reality they are a sagacious and rational race. Particularly, he seems to have a gentle personality.
Even if we are both aides, he is a senior, so I accepted the proposal. Which reminds me, there is a high class cafeteria here for the executives.
We, the ryujin and werewolf Aide duo, proceed towards the salon for executives inside the castle.
Since I had never been to such a high class place in my previous life, this is not a bad feeling.
Although the level of civilization is different, but it imitates the pleasant feeling of family restaurants of my previous life.
I order the inujin waiter for the deer saute and the potato stew.
This being the lunch, I ordered the saute for only three people. It’s not good to eat too much.
He had ordered the stir-fried fragrant grasshopper. Ryujins are fond of eating insects.
(TN: Picture of stir-fried fragrant grasshopper)
During the time the food came, we discuss like the officers of the army.
“Yes. Don’t say it to an ordinary soldier, but the defeat is highly likely.”
“The second division ignores the tactics, every time they conquer a city, they don’t do siege warfare. They just rush forward breaking the castle walls by force.”
As a result, all the humans run away from the city and take refuge in the nearby cities. In other words, refugees.
“But that is only militia without the proper training, right. Isn’t is ineffective against the kyojins or ogres of the second division?”
They are idiots, but strong are anyways strong.
Then Barce shook his head.
The harsh climates in the north suited the doctrine of ‘cooperation and unity’ of radiant church. If it is individualism like the stillmoon church, passing even a single winter is also quite difficult.
“They are not afraid to sacrifice an individual for the whole. That’s why, it becomes a war of attrition by all means.”
Because the food arrived at that moment, we halted our discussion for a moment and bit onto the food. With my werewolf fangs, I enjoy the dripping juices of deer meat to my heart’s content.
“To avoid the war of attrition, don’t they do defensive battle in the cities they have acquired?”
“The second division destroys the castle gates and castle walls, which are not even needed to be destroyed, just to test their strength…”
Explaining to me, Barce gradually became more and more angry, and muttered holding the stir-fried grasshopper.
Sorry.
I, too, didn’t have much of that realization.
While I am relishing the deer meat, someone came to the cafeteria.
White skin and black hair, and then the dress exposing the skin. Swaying breasts.
I lightly greet.
“No, no, it’s fine with Mereen-sama”
“I don’t want to.”
Mereen is also an aide in the third division, but among them also she is a top level character.
By the way, she is a vampire.
Not a succubus.
Barce also greets her, and offers a seat.
“The leader of the Blue Scale order and the commander of Ryun Height, what is the private talk?”
Thoroughly diligent Barce, explains in a gentle tone.
Mereen-senpai orders soul sake, and then sighs while leaning on the chair.
“Not as much as you people who are ruling humans, Mereen-dono.”
But her governing is considerably different from mine.
“It’s simple, I just made everyone into vampires.”
That’s right, there is not a single living human among the nobles or soldiers in Bernhainen.
The capture of Bernhainen by Mereen-senpai was completely absurd.
It’s completely unfortunate for them, but still there was one good thing that happened.
Since the viceroy and others were made into vampires, the daily life was peaceful. Of course, they are completely obedient to Mereen-senpai, but other than that its same as usual.
There are a number of important intellectual properties, such as the royal library, in Bernhainen, although it was required to limit the destruction in battle to the minimum, but maybe I am thinking too much.
Senpai drank the entire glass of soul sake emitting heavy white vapors at once.
I am just doing little by little with the sense when I was a human, senpai.
“Since werewolves are indistinguishable from humans, it doesn’t affect the mentality of humans that much.”
“Hmm.”
Mereen-senpai laughed a little, and poke at my forehead.
“Ah, sounds good. Then I request you for the defense of the trade route.”
Knocking her bountiful huge breasts, senpai winked at me.
Finishing his food, Barce begins to talk to senpai while wiping his mouth.
“Ah, I pass. The vampire troops have their hands full with the defense of Bernhainen. I am sorry. Instead I will make a promising rookie to be the incharge.”
With great pains I had got rid of the nuisance, priest Yuhito, but it would be troublesome if he comes back again….
After that, for a while, we spent some time complaining about the superior authorities.
Thanks to that we disciples, using those, have hardships one way or other.
For one, I heard an interesting story from Barce.
Since he’s always making difficult faces while having food, the young ryujin waiters are very scared.
The competent aide seemed a little bit lonely.
He seems to respect the demon king a lot.
The demon king himself has perfected the sophisticated system of the demon army, obviously he would be thinking about the complicated things.
I, again, felt satisfied of the fact that I am enrolled in the demon army.
