The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero

V1 Chapter 14 General Duty

Eastern Commander Fainell, Southern Commander Ractor, Northern Commander Altejio.

Three men received the title that would make them rulers of their respective regions and Varvatos had invited them to a banquet of Varvatos.

...... Even if it was called a banquet, it only contained ordinary potato soup that was put into a large hot pot carved out of stone.

The pot was handmade by Eina, and even the table was just pieces of shattered stone walls stacked on top of each other.

However, the habit of meeting dinner like this was generally not among the Monsters.

When offered a dinner meeting as if it were just advice, Fainell and Altejio had no idea how they should respond and were confused.

Since only the Ractor was feeling excited, he stuffed a lot of potatoes into his mouth.

“The salt soup is quite tasty, Demon King.”

“U ~ n. But as expected, I was getting bored. I did get the Goblin to start the farm.but it's still a long”.

“Ahh ..... so it was you, Demon King.”

When it came to the Demon King Castle of the Southern Region of the Black Continent, he needed to pass through the group of Agur Goblin that was directly under the might of Varvatos.

There, Rakor saw a field that was growing something, and the Goblin figures restlessly moved.

“Eina has found the wild Nilgiri Tea, you know? I ended up asking them to try growing it because the tea had high fertility.”

“Ahh, that's because it grows anywhere. Even the Goblins should be able to plant it. Tea Nilgiri.”

It is a vegetable similar to the one called radish. The part where the roots have a crunchy and juicy texture even when raw, and is also delicious when boiled and eaten when freshly cooked.

In addition, there are several medical properties in the leaves, and it is eaten widely among Humans. Nilgiri tea is a versatile vegetable.

Having a mortal way of life is what the traditional Devil does, he said, but there were also other areas where this kind of gourmet food culture that the previous Demon King Gramfia had brought sat deep and remained.

The human slaves that once existed have died, but the remnants of the fields they planted have grown wild.

Also, the recipes were of things that remained after the destruction of the Demon King, and it was from there that Fainell and Altejio made food.

They have .... but the fact that they are basically wild people has not changed much.

This also applies to other fields.

There is a tendency to rely on some hobbyists who immerse themselves in things like clothes and blacksmiths for the production and supply of things.

The nature of Monsters being individually strong racing within themselves was the source of the problem itself.

To begin with, the idea of the so-called family was very thin among Monsters. This is the most dangerous trait as a species, and there are also many places that need to be resolved.

Varvatos saw that it was this overarching individualism of the Monsters that invited defeat last time around.

Therefore, to first set up the subordinates of the Demon King was also the first step of cultural life.

After rebuilding the organization, he will introduce communal life and culture, as well as political concepts.

He would reform the current situation that had degenerated further than the days of Gramfia that only took things.

There was no mistake that it would definitely increase the strength of the Monster species as a whole.

“That's what I think.”

“...... So .”

Hearing Varvatos explanation, Altejio nodded.

Of course, even Altejio relied on some hobbyists to get things like his equipment.

Therefore, if the possibility of such a cultural life was regulated and things like blacksmiths spread in the Black Continent in general, it would be more convenient even for Altejio, he said, and he could even understand that it was related to the overall strengthening of the Monster.

“However, Metalio is an ally of man. Even if we train Beastia in a blacksmith, it will take a lot of time ...”.

Metallio.

Race Ore-man or Dwarf.

It was the name of a race that excelled in mining and metalmaking and had a small yet tough body.

At the time of the previous war, they supplied a large number of famous weapons to humans including Heroes.

Not only that, it was said that there was even a figure of Metalio among the Hero comrades marching to the Black Continent.

“Ahh, yes. I've considered it.”

When Varvatos flicked his finger, Eina, who had long disappeared before anyone knew, had come to the throne room with a single man.

It is shorter than the average person. Although his body was horizontally wide, he had a physical body where his body was covered in strong muscles that would not lose even to the Ractor muscles.

He had a fairly large beard, and powerful eyes that had no qualms. In the man's hand, he carried one sword.

“...... This guy?”

Fainell's question makes sense.

As Varvatos stood up and stood next to the man, he answered cheerfully as if he was introducing a friend.

“He is Tekkuhagen, Race Norma. Race hostile to Metalio ..... No, they are a race I made for the sake of victory.”

Creating a race.

Fainell and the others shuddered at those words.

However, for Fainell and the others who were born after the Monster grouping was established, they were unfamiliar with the idea of creating an entire race.

Now that he mentioned it, they understood that it was possible if it was the Demon King who did it, but because they had never come to such a way of thinking to begin with, it was possible to begin with, they naturally remove it from the choice.

Because of this, they were shocked, and once again realized it. That this man named Varvatos was without a doubt the Demon King.

“Tekkuhagen, take care of the explanation.”

“Of course.”

Tekkuhagen drew the sword and showed it.

It was a one-handed sword──A type of sword called the Long Sword.

The blade of the sword was blue-steel, and it reflected light and gave off a dull glow. However, what is impressive is that sometimes it will glow red with when it gets the right amount of light.

“It is made of metal where iron and blood metal are mixed together with a ratio of 8 to 2. It was named Iron Blood, but I believe it would be quite suitable to be used even as raw materials for Magic Swords.”

The one who reacted to those words was Altejio who also used his own sword.

It would be better to understand if it is equated with Magic Sword which is the sword version of ”Magic Wand".

The Magician will use the magic wand as a catalyst to use magic, and the Swordsman will use the sword for direct attacks.

This is the common sense of the world.

However, in some ways being able to use magic and swords, swords or sticks, it would surprisingly be difficult to make a decision to be chosen.

First, with a normal sword, the sword would melt away from being able to withstand the casting of magic. On the other hand, if the cane was held, the physical attacks that had been painstakingly trained could not be used.

There was indeed a ring that could be used as a catalyst for magic, but when compared to a magic wand, its power was inferior.

Therefore, the best choice was Magic Sword, but Magic Sword was difficult to produce, and it also required a technical force higher than the required standard.

Tekkuhagen says that it can be created.

“Hmm... Isn't that nice? Was my sword also made with this?”

“No, the blood metal is no match for your strength, Demon King. It's gonna take a little longer. Please wait.”

“...I leave it to you.”

Tekkuhagen came out of the room, and Eina waited by Varvatos' side.

Varvatos handed the Iron Blood sword he held in his hand to Eina, turned to the three generals, and showed a smile.

“Well, I guess the situation is exactly as you saw ...... Aah, Fainell.”

“Ya, Demon King.”

Varvatos nodded at Fainell who had stood up and took a respectful stance.

“I command you, who is the General of the East. I want you to take advantage of the fertile land in the eastern region of the Black Continent, and contribute to the food supply policy.”

“I have received your orders, Demon King.”

“For the Ractor General of the South, I leave Norma's orders and equipment development, as well as the production of all kinds of weapons that will be produced in the future to you.”

“Give me.”

When the two confirmed that they agreed, Varvatos switched to the remaining Altejio.

“North General Altejio. I'm handing over economic policy to you. I'm ordering you to do coin printing, then work with Raktor, and to rebuild the foundations of Monster.” society

“ ...! I thank you.”

Altejio understood the meaning and importance of Varvatos' words.

The northern region of the Black Continent was not suitable for production activities. In addition, Altejio was one among the three who could calmly make decisions on various matters, and he understood that it was because of this trait that not many Monsters generally possessed so he was appointed this position.

“But, Demon King. What will we do about military affairs?”

“Although the leadership will fundamentally be left to each general, the strategic portion will be left to the Western General whose land is the place where the previous Hero has invaded.”

“And then, the Center will supervise the four areas and be the viewpoint sending the instruction.”

The Ractor furrowed his brows at that answer.

No one of that caliber is capable of doing that in the west.

The fact that it was the consensus of opinion of the three Cardinal Generals and not just the Ractors, even that could be understood explicitly from the expressions of the other two.

Perhaps because he had taken into account those reactions, Varvatos showed an unfilial smile on his face.

“I have prepared a capable and perfect person for the job ...... It should be time for him to come.”

As if to respond to Varvatos words, a transfer magic formation appeared and expanded next to him.

A cylinder of light rose from the magic circle that spun along with the light, and in a short while, a single man stood in that spot.

“Do I keep you waiting?”

“No, I don't mind.”

When Varvatos said that, he turned his face away and smiled at Rakor and the others.

“...... Let me introduce him. He is the General of the West, Dreigo.”
