The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Monster Army, Charge! (2)

After issuing the mobilization order.

‘Finally, the time has come for the expedition.’

Black Goblin threw off his usual uniform and was changing into a new one in the locker room.

‘As expected, the material is different because it was made by dwarves.’

Black Goblin couldn’t believe it was a military uniform. The soft material brought a smile to his face.

‘Unlike its softness, the defense is considerable.’

Also, with several enchantments, it had better defense than most armor.

After changing into his uniform, Black Goblin took out a scabbard from his personal locker, the same color as his uniform, and put it on his belt.

‘Finally, I get to use this sword.’

A famous sword given only to those of high rank.

Srrrng—

As he grabbed the handle and pulled the sword out of its scabbard.

‘Beautiful.’

The black blade showed off its brilliant appearance.

‘Just thinking about cutting down enemies with this makes me thrilled.’

Click—

He wanted to swing it right away, but Black Goblin shook off the urge and put the sword back in its scabbard.

‘I promised myself I would use it when the invasion began, so I just have to wait a little longer.’

10 years ago, when he first received the famous sword, Black Goblin had promised himself that he would use it when he went on an invasion.

‘…If I knew it would take 10 years, I would have used it sooner.’

However, as the invasion was delayed unexpectedly, the famous sword was left in his personal locker.

‘It was hard to endure not using the famous sword for 10 years, but what was most difficult was the office work…’

After doing office work non-stop for 10 years, his blood pressure rose just by looking at documents.

‘…In order not to do office work again, I must make achievements in this planetary invasion and be recognized for my usefulness by Master.’

Right now, he was called because the enemy’s resistance was stronger than expected, but there was a high possibility that he wouldn’t be called later when the Demon Servants grew stronger.

‘So, I will make the most outstanding achievement in this invasion…!’

Black Goblin clenched his fist with a fierce look in his eyes.

‘Then, shall we go?’

After finishing all the preparations, Black Goblin went outside the locker room.

“You came out late.”

“Everyone’s waiting outside. Let’s go quickly.”

“What took you so long to get ready?”

He could see his colleagues of the same rank waiting for him in the hallway.

“Sorry, I was strengthening my resolve.”

Black Goblin apologized and headed to the place where the mobilization order was issued with his colleagues.

Heading to the outskirts of the abandoned kingdom.

‘It’s a sight to behold.’

He could see 900 million monsters, excluding pregnant women and children, lined up in an orderly fashion.

‘They are highly disciplined.’

They had received the heavy task of planetary invasion, so they had no choice but to be highly disciplined.

Th i s was co p i e d f r o m ki ng m t l .o r g
‘The newbies are clearly nervous.’

It was understandable that they would be nervous since it was their first expedition.

‘Those who have been on a few invasions have solemn faces.’

On the other hand, the monsters who had been on several invasions had a look of both ease and solemnity on their faces.

After looking over the lined-up monsters.

“Who will give the speech?”

He looked at his colleagues and asked who would give the speech.

“Wouldn’t it be better if you did it?”

“Right, the kids follow you well.”

“You have the best leadership skills. It’s right for you to do it.”

“I agree!”

Then, his three colleagues and his subordinate, Black Orc, recommended him.

“Okay, I’ll take it.”

Black Goblin nodded and walked toward the shabby-looking podium.

‘What should I say?’

He had seen many speeches, but it was his first time giving one, so he couldn’t help but worry.

‘I’ll just say what I think, right?’

He wasn’t as eloquent as Master, so it would be more effective to convey his thoughts than to try to be clever with his words.

Thud, thud, thud.

Then, he went up to the podium.

“You’ve all worked hard for 10 years.”

He began his speech by comforting the monsters for their hard work.

Th i s w a s co pie d fr om ki n g m t l . o r g
“Now, the moment has come to invade the planet ‘Liger’ and show our results!”
T h i s w a s c o p ie d fro m k i n g m tl .or g

Gulp—

Black Goblin’s cry caught the monsters’ eyes.

“Were you bored from only training for 10 years?!”

“””Yes!”””

“Did you feel thirsty for blood?!”

“””Yes!!”””

“Now, you don’t have to wait for an invasion while doing boring training. You don’t have to feel thirsty for blood! Let go of all the instincts you’ve been suppressing in this invasion. Do you understand?!”

“””Yes!!!”””

As Black Goblin’s questions continued, the monsters’ eyes became filled with madness.

“Good!!! Let’s show the enemy our true strength!!!”

“””Wooaaaaah!!!”””

After finishing his speech, Black Goblin came down from the podium and started walking at the front.

Step, step, step…

900 million people began to move in step with Black Goblin.

After passing through the portal installed in the Imperial training ground.

“Welcome.”

Elvis, the Emperor of the Pacon Empire, greeted Black Goblin in front of the portal.
T h is wa s c o p i ed f r o m ki n gm t l . o r g

“It’s been a while.”

They shook hands and greeted each other.

“…Hmm.”

Elvis said, widening his eyes as if he was slightly surprised.

“I knew you had gone up in rank, but you’ve gotten stronger than I thought.”

“It’s all thanks to Master’s grace.”

Elvis nodded in agreement at Black Goblin’s sincere words and replied.

“That’s right. It’s all thanks to Master’s grace.”

“Indeed.”

“Then, shall we go inside and talk about the operation?”

“Alright.”

Afterwards, they were guided by the knights and entered the meeting room of the Imperial Palace.

“I’d like to get straight to the point, if that’s alright with you?”

“That’s fine… but before that, I would appreciate it if you could speak comfortably.”

“Is it uncomfortable?”

“Yes, a little.”

Black Goblin was awkward with this treatment because Elvis hadn’t used honorifics during the ‘Dainik’ planet invasion.

“At that time, I spoke comfortably because I was in the position of an employer, but now we are on equal footing, so I should use honorifics.”

“…Even so.”

T h is wa s c op ie d f ro m k i ng m t l .o r g
“Using informal language here means I’m looking down on you. In a broader sense, it’s an act of disrespect towards Master.”

At the mention of disrespecting Master, Black Goblin had no choice but to agree.

“Alright. Let’s get to the point.”

“Let’s.”

Elvis smiled faintly and said.

“Bring the map.”

He turned his gaze to the knight behind him and gave the order.

“Here it is.”

As one of the knights brought the map.

“As you can see from the map, the Allied Forces are operating five main armies.”

Elvis pointed to five circles and emphasized that they were key areas.

Looking at the map, there was a rectangle drawn with a red line, and circles were marked at the four vertices and in the center.

“Do you see the circle marked in the center of the rectangle?”

“I do.”

“This is the supply depot responsible for supplying the Allied Forces.”

“Supply depot…”

“Yes, this operation is to raid the supply depot.”

Then, Elvis pointed to the circle in the center and requested that they raid the supply depot.

“You’re thinking of cutting off their supplies and isolating them.”

“That’s right. If we cut off their supplies, the Allied Forces’ strength will decrease significantly.”

“I understand.”

When the explanation was roughly finished, Elvis explained to Black Goblin how the operation would proceed.

“As soon as you arrive at the supply depot, you need to kill the enemy troops and burn all the supplies.”

“…Is that all?”

Black Goblin expressed his doubts at the rather simple operation.

“It may sound easy, but this is by no means an easy operation.”

Elvis hardened his expression and mentioned the danger of this operation.

“You’re saying it’s not an easy operation…?”

“Yes, because it’s the place responsible for supplies, a large number of strong troops are deployed there.”

The Allied Forces also knew that if their supplies were cut off, the outcome of this war would be decided, so they were on high alert.

“When you burn the supplies and withdraw, the Allied Forces will move to the supply depot to try to recover. At that time, we will take advantage of the gap and strike.”

“I understand completely.”

“I’ve finished the overall explanation. Do you have any questions?”

Black Goblin nodded at Elvis’s question and said.

T h i s w as c o p ied fr o m k i n gmt l. or g
“I have one question.”

“Feel free to ask.”

“We are satisfied because we have received an important mission and have the opportunity to make achievements, but I think it would be easier to seize the supply depot if we use Demon Servants who have surpassed the realm. Is there a reason why you are deploying us in this operation?”

Objectively speaking, deploying those who had surpassed the realm would have a higher chance of success in this operation than deploying the monster army.

“The reason why those who have surpassed the realm are not being deployed is because the Allied Forces possess a large number of artifacts that impose restrictions.”
T h is wa s co p i ed f r o m k i n g mt l .or g

“Artifacts…?”

He wondered how much restriction they could impose.

“Yes, that’s why even if we try to launch a surprise attack, we can’t easily do so because of the restrictions.”

As he listened to the following explanation, he could clearly understand why they weren’t deployed.

In other words, the targets of the restrictions were set to ‘humans’ and ‘elves’ with demonic energy, so if they got close, they would be strongly restricted in their power.

It was said that the effect was so powerful that the ‘Grand Sword Master’ realm would drop to the ‘Sword Master’ realm, so it was obvious how weak the lower realms would become.

“However, as you are monsters, you are not affected by the restrictions. That’s why you are being deployed in this operation.”

“That’s the reason. I understand.”

“Do you have any more questions?”

“I have one last question.”

“What are you curious about?”

Black Goblin pointed to the map on the desk and said.

“Looking at the distance, it seems quite far from here. How will we move?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. 100 9th Class mages will teleport you there with magic.”
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k ing m t l .o r g

“Are we being transported by land?”

“No. There are many artifacts installed on land, so magical transportation is impossible. We will be transported by air.”

“…I’m fine, but wouldn’t the other subordinates die instantly or get seriously injured if they fall from the sky?”

“Ah, you don’t have to worry about that. When we get close to land, we will also cast a spell to reduce the falling speed.”

“Then there will be no problem.”

“Do you have any more questions?”

“Yes, I have resolved all my curiosities.”
Th i s w a s c o p ied fro m ki ngmt l. o rg

Elvis confirmed that Black Goblin had no more questions and got up from his seat, saying.

“Then, let’s move right away.”

“Alright.”

There was nothing they could do by waiting here, so Black Goblin accepted Elvis’s suggestion and got up from his seat.

Afterwards, the 900 million-strong monster army was positioned inside the magic circle, preparing for the raid.

“Your Majesty, all preparations are complete.”

Elvis nodded at the 9th Class mage’s words and said.

“Proceed.”

“Yes, sir.”

As 100 9th Class mages cast their spells.

Fwooosh—

A bright light burst from the magic circle and began to envelop the monsters.

Black Goblin was adjusting his clothes and steeling his resolve when.

“If you find it too difficult while carrying out the operation, you can give up and evacuate with your subordinates.”

Elvis approached and spoke to him.

“I won’t run away shamefully.”

“Alright. Be careful.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

“Good luck.”

As Elvis stepped back.

Woo――――――ong.

The magic circle began to vibrate.

Flash―――!

With a flash of light, the 900 million monsters disappeared from their spots.
