Chapter 97

Jaeburg Invaded

On that day, an army was discovered heading towards Jaeburg from far away on a mountain road.

Their numbers: tens of thousands.

Moreover, there was a huge robot painted in crimson within the force.

As the person taking command of Jaeburgs army, Vargas kept his worries to himself.

However, when the demon army made camp, they did so surrounding Jaeburg.

The next day, Ria and Carla flew over from Manesh. They literally came flying.

Among the envoy was a girl with flaxen-hair, the vampire, Asuka.

My bad, making you wait till a time like this.

They were in a tent built midway between the demon armys encampment and Jaeburgs city gate.

Before we talk, Id like to ask about something from three years ago. That werewolf incident, what were his intentions back then?

That was unfortunate. Even we werent keeping a watch on that His Majesty was waiting for the last moment, just in case.

The person who stopped Rias katana definitely was the Demon King. With the timing he used there, he likely could have saved Carla as well.

However, Ria wouldnt consent to that.

I also think that that thing should have died sooner Well, his loyalty towards His Majesty was certain, though. Also, even someone like that had a family

Even despite being like that, he had a family.

He had thirteen wives and twenty-five children, I think?

The heck? He was just a lustful man.

Behind her, Carlas expression still hadnt changed.

So, what are your demands?

Hearing her words, Asukas expression relaxed.

That was the truth. The lie detection magic that Carla used in secret didnt go off. There was the possibility that she had tricked it, though.

That wasnt a lie either. Then again, if this vampire girl lied to them, it would quickly be appear on her face.

Hmm

It would cause the matter with Carla to be set aside, but once she calmed down, even if she fought against them right now, it would very likely lead to a massive amount of losses.

Right now where is the Demon King?

That was the most important piece of intel there was.

If it would turn out like that, ignoring what Ria wanted or didnt want, thered be no choice but to accept the demon armys points.

Her voice turned into a whisper. However.

Her words had placed absolute trust in him.

Ria didnt have many choices.

If it came to a fight, it would be simple. If Ria and Carla joined up with Jaeburgs war potential, even with this vampire that had become their acquaintance fighting against them, theres no way they would lose. Even so, there would certainly be sacrifices in doing so.

I will approve of you making a city. However, there will some conditions that benefit us.

First off, we will not allow the construction of a rampart. This is in order to prevent it being used as a military base if it comes down to it. Something at the level of a fence is fine.

Well concede land, but it will be a place a little ways away from Jaeburg. This is to allow for our side to put our defenses in order in case something happens.

Unlike Ria and Asuka, the subordinates behind them were getting nervous.

Ria stared at Asuka. It was a stare as though to say she wouldnt forgive any lying.

Until we reach the point that it is deemed safe, I would like to take a few hostages.

Asuka sighed, nodding.

No, not you. Youre too strong.

For hostages would the guys standing behind you be alright?

There were orcs and goblins amongst them, but they were probably staff officers.

Then I guess just you is fine? Youre weak in the daytime at least.

Like that, in Year 3003 on the Continental Calendar, a non-aggression arrangement under the name of the Jaeburg Treaty was signed between Ogress and the demons.

Although this treaty was only meant to last for a single years time at first, this would be decided to be extended through both partys mutual consent.

Having many strong races, the demons immediately built a settlement one days walk away from Jaeburg.

Ria herself watched over it.

Initially, Ria or Carla would travel together with them. This was in order to act as a deterrent in case anything happened.

The demons silently cultivated the land. Using methods that humans didnt know about, they were able to produce crops in an area that was thought to be barren.

However, this was only ever done during the daytime so that she couldnt use her powers as a vampire.

In this way, the days passed by calmly.

Serge had returned home.

When she first heard about this, Ria was happy.

She had been regularly receiving letters from Serge.

She had a bad feeling about this.

I dont mind, but is it alright with you all?

Currently, the robot that would only work with Asuka was sitting in a tent that had been set up inside Jaeburg.

She trusted Asuka, but it was the responsibility of a ruler to consider any possibilities.

Ria, Carla, and Asuka flew through the sky towards Manesh.

Nee-chan!

Serge had completely outstripped Ria in height.

He looked to be above 170 cm. Even though Ria was tall for a woman, she wasnt that tall.

The sun had already gone down, there wasnt even any afterglow from it. Otherwise, Asuka wouldnt be able to fly.

No rather, Id like to hear about how much you demons know about this as well.

Guinevere joining up with them, the five gathered in the castles parlor.

Where should I start

Start with the conclusion. We can go from there.

Ill say it, then.

If we continue on how we are right now humanityno, the world will be destroyed.

It was the truth about the Great Collapse.
