White-walled castle without turbidity.
Those who saw this place would probably judge it that way.
It had only passed a few weeks since the beginning of the construction of the Demon King's castle, but the speed of the construction was truly unreasonable.
With the help of the Norms, the castle that was originally seen to be collapsing at any time became a sturdy white castle.
Those who lived in the city scattered on the ground around the castle, they would stare at this castle every day, and it would refresh their loyalty to the owner of that castle.
It was because they understood that if not for the owner of that castle, the development of this country would not have been possible.
The name of the country is, Kingdom of Zadark.
It was the name given by Varvatos, who was the Demon King as well as the king in the country.
Varvatus.
A Demon King that brought prosperity that could not even be compared to the previous era of the Gramfia Demon King.
In development and prosperity, they tried to naturally bury the pain and hatred of the previous era's wars to unite.
“It's not like it's been forgotten but ...... That's because there are a lot of people from the new generation.”
As Varvatos looked down at the fortress city, Orel called out to him from behind.
The Zadark Kingdom, will still continue to expand, even though it is a country, unlike this country already interacts with other countries. Right now, they're not even trying.
However, it could be said for the Human side as well.
Looking at it from their point of view, since the Black Continent was nothing but the doomed land of the destroyed Demon King, there was no reason to approach it.
To begin with, since it was a remote region that could geographically be referred to as the end of the world, no strange sailors would go out of their way to approach it.
"Yes. That's because if we can cover everything in this country, we don't even need to get out of our continent to invade another continent.”
“Yeah, that's true but.. Normally, Demon King, or at least you will definitely be aiming higher.”
Much higher. In other words, it means world domination aimed at greater well-being.
The former Demon King Gramfia planned to dominate the world, create various slave races in the process, and wanted to bring various things to the Black Continent.
As a result, even though the Black Continent underwent a slight development, at the same time, it fell into a long era of war that would last more than a century.
Afterwards, Gramfia is defeated by Hero Ryuuya and his friends.
Perhaps the right word to explain it is as “Ambisi Gramfia has invited her death”.
But the cause of the greatest defeat was the fact that he was negligent in the development of his own country, that was what Varvatos thought.
Leadership through systematization.
The strength of a group.
Originally it was the wisdom of Man, and it was something that the Monsters that had no strong inclination for individualism had.
However, if it was now where a similar structure was introduced, at the very least, it would end up without stepping on the same habits and faults as last time.
Right.
Learning from reflection, they will move on to the next step.
What Varvatos does is nothing more than that.
Even so, just by doing that, the Black Continent ...... The Zadark Kingdom will continue to expand.
In this case, they should also move to the next stage.
“...... Orel.”
Turning to Orel who was standing on his back, Varvatos told him.
“For a while, I will leave this country.”
“King of the Devil ..... !?”
The one who responded to those words was Eina who was waiting in a place a bit far away. Even if he was calm, Varvatos felt that Eina's hand was shaking.
The defensive measures for the Continent had been arranged, and the careless people who would be eyeing the Demon King seat had been cleared.
Why did Varvatos have to step off his throne to leave the country?
Both Eina and Orel could not understand.
“Master, may I ask why?”
“Even if there are no danger seeds here, there are danger seeds outside. I'll do something about it.”
Outside, in other words, it was about the Human continent.
Previously, the Hero and the others invaded from there. Even if there was no reason for him to attack them from the side of the black continent, there might be a reason for them to attack us from their side.
If there really was such a thing and ingrained in the human continent, it would be more than an excuse ..
If that's the case, war is inevitable.
To prevent that, he would anticipate that possibility and destroy it.
“In, in that case, I'll pe-.”
“You can't. Eina, I want you to stay here and act as my replacement.”
Before Eina finished speaking Varvatos cut her off, Varvatos knew Eina's actions entirely to Varvatos' own advantage.
“But, .....”.
“You, no need to worry about me.”
“I'll bring Zweita.”
Eina tightly clasped her hand which looked annoyed by those words but.
"……I get it."
“Eina. I left you because I believed in you.”
Varvatos said that with a wry smile mixed in.
Thatvs right. It's not something like him bringing Zweita in because he likes her more or anything.
It was just an argument that Zweita was a brain-muscle while Eina could make a calm decision.
To be honest, after the two of them, there were quite a few candidates that he had thought of but.
“Jaga this country while I'm not around. Can you do it for me?”
“I understand ...... Please leave it to me.”
Varvatos nodded at Eina who pinched the tip of her skirt and bowed. Even though he's like that Varvatos knows he's very upset.
For the sake of the peace of Zadark Kingdom, he will enter the territory of the Humans.
Plunging without any information is nothing but a dangerous act, but there is no other choice but to do it.
He could have ruled others, but in a kingdom that was lacking people, it was better for him to leave.
For this was Varvatos' duty as king.
