The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 92

Chapter 92: The Start of the Invasion (2)

That night.

“Gentlemen, thank you for coming.”

Elvis immediately summoned the knights and mages to the throne room.

“Finally, the Demon Lord-nim has given the order to invade other countries.”

At the word “invasion,” the knights and mages, who were kneeling on one knee, lit up their eyes.

“However, the Demon Lord-nim desires a complete invasion, so he wants there to be no harm to other countries.”

In other words, it meant to invade by killing only the royal family and nobles.

“If we send out all our troops, it will be over easily, but that could expose our full strength, so I intend to send only a small number of people to other countries.”

Elvis continued, making eye contact with each of the knights and mages.

“Therefore, the people gathered here. 10 Sword Masters and 10 8th Class mages, invade the neighboring countries immediately.”

“May I ask how long we have to complete the invasion?”

At the knight’s question, Elvis said, holding up his index finger.

“Finish the invasion within a day.”

An order to invade kingdoms in just one day.

It wouldn’t have been strange to argue that it was an absurd order, but.

“We will follow Your Highness’s orders.”

They were beyond ordinary, so this level of order could be considered easy.

“Go.”

“””Yes!”””

The knights and mages bowed to Elvis and left the throne room.

“Run at full speed.”

They began running toward the nearest kingdom without a separate strategy meeting.

After running for about 20 minutes.

They were able to reach the gates of another country in an instant.

“Halt! Identify yourselves!”

At the question of the knight guarding the gate, Arnold stepped forward and said.
T his w a s c o pi e d f r o m k i n g m t l .o r g

“We are from the ‘Pacon’ kingdom.”

“…Pacon kingdom? What are you doing here?”

“To invade.”

“…What?”

Just as the knight guarding the gate was showing embarrassment at Arnold’s nonchalant tone.

“You might get hurt, so step aside.”

Shhhwing!
T h i s w a s c o pi ed fr o m k i n g m t l . o r g

Arnold shot aura towards the gate.

“D-Dodge!”

Crash!

And the firmly standing gate was broken so easily.

“Let’s go.”

At Arnold’s command, the knights and mages nodded and walked inside the gate.

“I-Invasion!!”

“Stop them!!!”

“Subdue them all!!”

Dozens of knights and hundreds of soldiers guarding the gate rushed in all at once, but.

“Sleep Cloud.”

As an 8th Class mage waved his hand and cast a single spell.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud—

The knights and soldiers who were running collapsed to the floor and fell asleep.

“They’re being subdued too easily.”

Seeing the knights and soldiers lying on the ground, the 8th Class mage shrugged as if it were ridiculous.

“If we had trouble with these guys, His Highness would be angry.”

Arnold said, as if it were a natural result, and headed for the royal palace.

As they entered the royal palace, putting enemies to sleep, and reached the king’s bedroom.

“…Stop.”

An old man guarding the door drew his sword and stopped Arnold and his comrades.

“Seeing as your energy is extraordinary, you must be the only Sword Master in the kingdom.”

As Arnold also drew his sword and asked a question.
Th i s w a s c o p i ed f ro m ki n gm t l . or g

“…Why, did you invade this place?”

Instead of answering, the old man asked a question in a trembling voice.

“Why, did we invade…?”

Arnold stroked his chin and said.

“Of course, we invaded because His Highness gave the order.”

He answered with a puzzled look on his face at the obvious question.

“Judging by the sun pattern engraved on your armor, you’re from the Pacon kingdom… Did you intend to repay the kingdom’s kindness over decades like this?!”

At the old man’s angry shout, Arnold straightened his posture and replied.

“We are grateful for that.”

“…Do you have no intention of going back?”

“We only follow His Highness’s orders.”

Realizing that he couldn’t persuade them, the old man straightened his posture and raised his energy.

“I may not be able to kill you all, but I will take at least one of you with me!!!”

Whoosh!

And he approached Arnold at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye and swung his sword.

No, he tried to swing his sword.

T h is w a s c opie d f r o m ki n g mt l . o r g
“Cough…?”

If he hadn’t been stabbed dozens of times in his body, that is.

“…When did you?”
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l . o r g

The old man vomited blood, his face filled with disbelief.

“Even if we’re both Sword Masters, it doesn’t mean we’re at the same level.”

Arnold kindly answered the old man’s curiosity, and then.

Slice!

Thud—

He cut off his head.
T hi s w a s c o pi e d f r o m ki n g mtl . o r g

“He’s weak.”

It was a very 허무한 (empty, meaningless) end for the only Sword Master in the kingdom.

“Hmm.”

Arnold approached the old man who had collapsed on the floor and bent his knees.

At first glance, one might mistake it for him expressing condolences to the old man, but.

“His armor and sword look useful, so let’s make sure to collect them later.”

He had approached to see the armor and sword the old man was wearing.

“””Understood.”””

His comrades, who were standing behind him, nodded with indifferent expressions.
T h i s was c o pi e d f r o m k i ng mtl .o r g

“Let’s go inside now.”

Slice!

Thud—

As they cut through the bedroom door and went inside.

“Gasp!”

“”Kyaaaak!””

They could see a man, presumably the king, and two women lying naked on the bed.

“You’re quite relaxed, even though the report of the invasion must have gone up.”

Arnold shook his head and drew his sword.

“…N-No, how did you get in?”

The king of the other country asked in a disbelieving voice.

T his w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m tl . o rg
“Of course, we killed the knight at the door and came in. What else would it be?”

“You, you killed him…?”

The king’s face turned pale at the words that they had killed the only Sword Master in the kingdom.

“H-How can the Pacon kingdom do this to us!!!”

The king, recovering from the shock, erupted in anger and rebuked Arnold.

“You may be feeling wronged, but please accept it. We are doing this all for the glory of the Pacon kingdom.”

“Do, do you think that makes any sense…!”

At Arnold’s answer, the king tried to approach with a decorative sword in hand, but.

Slice!

Thud—

His head was cut off, and the king died before he could even approach Arnold.

“Don’t feel too wronged. Other kingdoms will also fall into the hands of the Pacon kingdom.”

Arnold offered a brief condolence and turned his gaze to the women on the bed.

“”…””
Th i s w a s c o p i e d f ro m k i n g m tl. o rg

Trembling—

The naked women were huddled together, their faces filled with fear.

“I have no intention of killing anyone who is not royalty or nobility, so get out of here.”

At Arnold’s words, the two women hurriedly put on their clothes and left the bedroom.

Seeing that they had completely disappeared from sight, Arnold turned to his comrades and gave an order.

“Move in pairs of two, kill the royalty, and gather back here.”

“””Understood.”””

The knights and mages nodded and left the bedroom.

And 10 minutes later.

“S-Spare me!!!”

“Uwaaaaak!!”

“I am the crown prince… Cough!”

Simultaneous screams began to ring out from the royal palace.

“It seems the king of this place had quite a few children.”

Arnold gave a brief comment on the screams echoing through the royal palace and sat down on a chair, waiting for his comrades to return.

10 minutes after the screams rang out.

“We have killed all the royalty in the royal palace.”

His comrades returned to the bedroom with bloodstains on their clothes.

“Are you sure you killed every single one of them?”

At Arnold’s question, a mage stepped forward and replied.

“You don’t have to worry about that. As a result of casting a search spell, there is no more royalty in this place.”

“Is that so? Alright.”

At the 8th Class mage’s assurance, Arnold nodded and rose from his chair.

“Then let’s move on to kill the nobles.”

“””Understood.”””

Afterwards, they left the royal palace to kill the nobles who would be in each territory.

Two hours later.

“We have killed all the nobles without missing a single one.”

They succeeded in killing the nobles in each territory.

They had accomplished the incredible feat of invading a country in just three hours, so they should have been happy, but.

“Let’s move on to another kingdom. We don’t have time.”

Arnold and his comrades, without showing any signs of joy, immediately headed for a nearby kingdom.

And as dawn broke.

They succeeded in invading all the nearby kingdoms as Elvis had ordered.

The next morning.

“Your Highness, the knights and mages have returned to the castle after invading all the nearby kingdoms.”

A subject reported to Elvis that the invasion was complete.

“Is that so? Bring them to the throne room.”

Elvis, as if it were a natural outcome, ordered them to be brought to the throne room with an indifferent expression.

A moment later.

“””We greet Your Noble Highness.”””

The knights and mages entered the throne room and bowed to Elvis.

“Were there any casualties during this invasion?”

Arnold answered Elvis’s question.

“Not a single one.”

“Good. I would have been very disappointed if there were.”

“We are glad we did not disappoint you.”

“Return to your quarters and rest until the next order is given.”

“Understood.”

Perhaps it was just a formality, but Elvis sent them back without saying much.

“Your Highness, what shall we do with the invaded kingdoms?”

To the subject’s question, Elvis spoke of what he had in mind.

“Dispatch nobles to govern the invaded kingdoms.”

“As you command.”

If there was no one to manage the invaded kingdoms, the invasion would be meaningless, so they had to be dispatched quickly.

“The nobles have the power to take care of themselves, but there are formalities, so have them travel with knights and mages.”

“As you command.”

“There may be some noise at first, so some bloodshed is acceptable.”

“I will convey that.”

Moreover, there was a high possibility that the people would not accept the new representatives, so it was necessary to be coercive at first.

“Once things have calmed down somewhat, mention the welfare programs that the Pacon Kingdom is promoting.”

Those who had heard the rumors would know how good the welfare of the Pacon Kingdom was, so there would be those who would be tempted.

“Finally, summon the remaining mages and laborers to expand the Pacon Kingdom and connect it with the invaded kingdoms.”

“Understood.”

“How long do you estimate it will take to connect the kingdoms?”

“With the mages involved, I estimate it will take three days at most.”

Elvis smiled with satisfaction at the subject’s answer.

“That’s reasonable. Then how long do you think it will take to build the walls as we connect them?”

“I estimate it will take about a month.”

“Reduce it to a week.”

“As you command.”

The subject answered without objecting to Elvis’s order.

“Then, I will take my leave to carry out the orders you have given me, Your Highness.”
T h i s wa s copi e d f r o m k i n g m tl. or g

The subject then withdrew from the throne room, saying he would go and make preparations.

“The day when I will proclaim the ‘Pacon’ Empire is not far off.”

Left alone in the throne room, Elvis muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with greed.
