The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 89

Chapter 89: 20 Years (3)

After sending the pigeons back.

“Hehe, I’ll be back. Ribbit, ribbit.”

“Ah, so annoying.”

Rok and Anubis were standing in front of the portal.

“Make sure to check how the invasion is progressing.”

Jung Minwoo waved his hand, reminding them of their mission once again.

Currently, Rok and Anubis were getting ready to go and check the progress of the invasion of ‘Yurain’ planet.

You might be wondering why they have to go and check, but.

‘If William succeeds in invading during the bet, he’ll gain enormous demonic energy.’

When a planet was completely invaded, an achievement was unlocked, and enormous demonic energy was given as a reward.

‘If he gains that much demonic energy, invading Dainik planet will become much easier.’

The more insurance, the better, so it was necessary to make various preparations.

T his w a s c o p i e d fr om k in g m t l . o r g
“Leave it to me! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok couldn’t hide his excitement about going on the mission with Anubis, his grin stretching from ear to ear.

“…It’s annoying.”

On the other hand, Anubis clearly didn’t want to go, as if the act of moving itself was a bother.

“Ha, alright, let’s go quickly.”

Anubis finally seemed to accept reality, letting out a deep sigh and then.

Grab―

“Gasp! Ribbit, ribbit.”

She grabbed Rok’s wrist and shouted.

“Don’t fight with the pigeons while I’m gone!”

“T-That’s a bit too fast… Ribbit, ribbit.”

“What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense and let’s just go.”

And then she pulled Rok and jumped into the portal.

‘They’ll have a good time.’

T h i s w a s co p i e d fr o m k in g m t l. o r g
Jung Minwoo confirmed that the portal had closed and turned his gaze to Venus and Elin behind him.

“Keep a close eye on Elvis.”

Venus and Elin nodded and replied.

“Leave it to us.”

“…It won’t be difficult.”

Since they were trustworthy, he didn’t emphasize his words repeatedly like he did with Rok and Anubis.

“Then, I’ll go to the personal breeding grounds.”

As he tapped the bracelet on his wrist.

Whoosh――

A black space appeared in the air.

“See you later, Minwoo-nim.”
T h i s w a s co p ie d f r om k in g m t l . o rg

“…Come back soon.”

Jung Minwoo, with farewells from Venus and Elin, stepped into the black space.

Jung Minwoo, who climbed onto the platform on the training ground.

‘The numbers are incredible.’

He was amazed inwardly, watching the green wave surging.

‘With this much force, I could easily wipe out a kingdom, couldn’t I?’

It would be difficult for a kingdom with strong national power, but it seemed like he could easily destroy a kingdom near ‘Pacon’ kingdom.

‘If I use the DP I received as a gift from Satan, I could even aim for an empire without much difficulty.’

As he was lost in thought while looking at the monsters.

Thud, thud, thud―!
T his w a s c opie d f ro m ki n g mt l . or g

A Hobgoblin wearing a shoulder strap stepped forward with disciplined steps and.

“Squad, attention!!”

He shouted towards the monsters positioned behind him.

Thud, thud!

Then, the green wave moved in unison.

‘…Amazing.’

With movements that seemed like they were copy & pasted, Jung Minwoo could see how much effort they had put into their training.

However, as if not satisfied with this, the Hobgoblin took a deep breath and shouted.

“Salute to the Master!!!”

Thud――!

“””Loyalty!!!”””

The green wave showed a perfect salute posture without a single error.

‘…It makes my heart swell.’

Seeing this, he thought once again that he had done well to introduce the military system.

“At ease.”

Jung Minwoo lightly acknowledged the salute and turned his head to the Hobgoblin wearing the shoulder strap.

“You seem to have done a very good job training the soldiers.”

“Thank you!!!”

“Since you’ve shown me something beyond my expectations, I’ll give you all snacks as a reward. And the highest quality, too.”

At the words “highest quality snacks”, the monsters on the training ground began to murmur.

“T-The highest quality?”

“…Wow.”

“My mouth is already watering.”

“Even the regular snacks are this delicious, how much more delicious will the highest quality be…?”

The Hobgoblin frowned at the monsters’ murmuring and shouted.

“What kind of disgraceful behavior is this in front of the Master? You’ll get extra training later!!!”

The Hobgoblin’s scolding immediately silenced the training ground.

“Master, I am truly sorry for showing such disgraceful behavior.”

“It’s fine. It’s their first time trying the highest quality snacks, so they can be excited.”

Jung Minwoo, recalling his time in the military, told him not to worry about it.

“Then, I’ll give you some brief instructions.”
T hi s w a s copi ed f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

“We’ll listen attentively.”

“First, we’ll be replenishing the monsters.”

At the words “monster replenishment”, the eyes of the recruits on the training ground sparkled.

“May I ask how many will be replenished?”

Jung Minwoo brought up the shop window to check in response to the Hobgoblin’s question.

Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m tl. or g
‘Half of the DP I received from Satan will be used to purchase food and snacks, and the other half will be used to purchase Orcs… so about 2.5 million.’

When he told the Hobgoblin this fact.

“2.5 million…”

He was bewildered by the unexpected number.

“This planetary invasion is that important.”

“I understand.”

Th i s wa s co p i e d f r o m k ing m t l. o r g
“And we’ll start the invasion in earnest after a year, so be thoroughly prepared.”

Since the personal breeding grounds followed the time axis of the Demon World, exactly one year would have passed in ‘Dainik’ planet when 20 years had passed there.

“We’ll prepare thoroughly.”

After that, Jung Minwoo promoted the squad leaders to the rank of Sergeant and ordered them to add new items to the promotion exam.

“Then, I’ll be on my way.”

“Loyalty!”

Thus, Jung Minwoo finished all his business at the personal breeding grounds and returned to ‘Dainik’ planet.

A month later.

The day came to turn higher beings into Demon Servants.

“Let’s go to the royal palace.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Venus and Elin nodded and followed behind him.

As you could tell from the number of people present, Rok and Anubis had not yet returned to ‘Dainik’ planet.

‘Considering it takes about a week, they’ll be back in about 5 months.’

Jung Minwoo thought to himself that the fast time axis was inconvenient in times like this.

As they made their way to the audience chamber in the royal palace.
T h i s w a s c op i ed f rom k i ng m t l .o r g

‘He’s planning to turn the knights into Demon Servants, I see.’

He could see 100 Golden Knights waiting in the audience chamber with a neat posture.

‘Well, turning the knights into Demon Servants first would be the easiest way to increase national power.’

Jung Minwoo thought it wasn’t a bad judgment, and he appeared before Elvis.

“You have arrived.”

Elvis knelt on one knee and greeted him.

“””We greet the Demons.”””

The vassals and knights behind him also knelt on one knee and showed their respect.

“Have you been well?”

Elvis lowered his head and replied to Jung Minwoo’s question.

“Thanks to your grace, I have been doing extremely well.”

“Good, then tell me what achievements you have made in the past month.”

At the words to check his achievements, Elvis turned his gaze towards a vassal.

Step, step, step

The vassal approached Elvis, carrying a bundle of documents and handed them to him.

“I will report to you.”

Elvis began to list the achievements he had made in the past month while flipping through the documents.

Selling luxury goods within the royal palace, confiscating the property of deceased nobles, improving city sanitation, establishing schools for commoners to attend, establishing knight training centers, reducing taxes, sharing crop management techniques…

Jung Minwoo was speechless at the achievements he had made in just one month.

‘…He achieved this much in just a month?’

As expected, he was talented, so his work efficiency was also excellent.

‘He’s doing better than I expected.’

Jung Minwoo was quite excited to see how Pacon kingdom would have grown in 20 years.

“You have achieved excellent results.”

“Thank you.”

“Then, let’s turn 100 humans into Demon Servants.”

At the words “turn into Demon Servants”, greed flickered in the eyes of the knights waiting in the audience chamber.

“Yes, the humans to be turned into Demon Servants are the knights over there.”

Jung Minwoo looked at the knights and asked Elvis a question that he had been wondering about.

“I remember them wearing golden armor before, but now they’re wearing black armor?”

“Ah, since they will become Demon Servants, we replaced all their armor as a new beginning.”

“A new beginning?”

“Yes, they are now changing from the Golden Knights to the Dark Knights.”

Jung Minwoo nodded in understanding at Elvis’s explanation.

‘Well, golden armor doesn’t really suit someone who uses demonic energy.’

Even so, he wondered if it was really necessary to change the armor, but.

‘Well, as long as they can make a new resolution.’

Jung Minwoo didn’t think too deeply about it and took out a parchment from his pocket.

“Since you’ve used it before, I don’t need to explain it, right?”

“Of course.”

Elvis politely accepted the parchment and followed the same procedures as before.

【Contract Complete】

As the message indicating the completion of the contract appeared and black flames engulfed the knights’ bodies.

Whoosh―

“””…”””

Contrary to his expectation that they would scream, perhaps because they had trained their bodies, they didn’t even make a sound of pain.

After about 5 minutes had passed.

Sizzle―

As the black flames died down, the knights showed dazed expressions and then.

“Power is surging through my body.”

“It feels like I’ve surpassed my limits.”

“…Ha, I want to use this power quickly.”

“So this is grace.”

They each let out exclamations of admiration.

“To think I would regain my youth…”

And Arnold, the knight captain, had his wrinkled skin return to its prime, becoming firm and supple.

“””Thank you so much!!!”””

The knights bowed their heads even lower, expressing their gratitude to Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members.

Jung Minwoo roughly waved his hand and gestured to Elvis.

“You all need to check your new power, so go out now. And you all go and take care of the rest of your work.”

Elvis led the knights and vassals out of the audience chamber.

‘He’s quick-witted, that’s good.’

Jung Minwoo thought he had chosen a good higher being, seeing how he understood his intentions with just a gesture.

After confirming that everyone had left the audience chamber, Jung Minwoo brought up the main topic to Elvis.

“I think it will be somewhat difficult to invade all the countries with only the forces of Pacon kingdom.”

“You are absolutely right.”

“So, I’ll lend you monsters when you go out to invade.”

Lend.

While he had sold them off during the invasion of Yurain planet, this time he was lending them.

‘Because lending can be done at a low price.’

T h i s w as co pi ed f ro m k i n g mtl . org
If he tried to buy that many, even Pacon kingdom 20 years later would be at risk of financial collapse.

“You’re lending me monsters?”

“Yes, the number is about 3.7 million.”

“That’s quite a number…”

Elvis couldn’t hide his surprise at the number, which exceeded the population of Pacon kingdom.
T h is w a s c op ied f r o m k in g m tl . o r g

“Of course, you have to pay a price for it.”

“How should I pay for it?”

“It can be goods, or even lives.”

“I understand. I will try to raise funds to rent the monsters separately over the next 20 years.”

After finishing all his business, Jung Minwoo turned his back and said.

“Then, I’ll see you again in a month.”

“Please go.”

After that, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members leisurely left the royal palace.

Elvis expressed his gratitude with a face full of admiration.

“Have you gathered the funds to pay the price?”

Elvis answered Jung Minwoo’s following question with a confident face.
