The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: The Start of the Invasion (3)

Meanwhile, Katra, humiliated by Jung Minwoo, settled in a kingdom on the outskirts that had been occupied by the Pigeons.

“It wouldn’t be good to settle in a place that hasn’t been occupied and be bothered by them, so it’s better to settle here.”

Although the risk of being caught was high because it was a place occupied by the Pigeons, Katra decided that getting out of Jung Minwoo’s sight was more important.

“First, I’ll make this place the main base and use other kingdoms as sub-bases.”

Since he started late, it was better to diversify and create insurance rather than focusing all his power on one place.

“It will take some time to increase my forces while avoiding the Pigeons’ eyes… but if I succeed in expanding my forces, I can wipe out Jung Minwoo and the Pigeons in one fell swoop.”

Since the plan was to incite war through instigation, if things went according to plan, this planet would be easier to invade than expected.

“As expected, it’s best to start corruption from the slums, right?”

Since it was a place occupied by the Pigeons, the priests would be sensitive to demonic energy, but…

“It also becomes difficult to touch once a certain number is exceeded.”

It was difficult to easily touch the Demon Servants once they gathered together.

“And if we succeed in corrupting one of the priests, we’ll be able to completely control them.”

If confusion was caused in the information starting from the corrupted priest, the Demon Servant would be able to grow stably.

Afterwards, Katra put his plan into action and succeeded in turning all the humans in the slums into Demon Servants.

The number of Demon Servants created in one hour was 300.

It could be said that it was a considerably fast pace.

“If someone who stands out appears among them, I can concentrate demonic energy on them.”

However, since Katra didn’t have the ability to see the talents of higher beings like Jung Minwoo, he had to go through a verification process.

“I hope there’s at least one decent one.”

In other words, if there were only duds among them, it would end up being nothing more than a waste of demonic energy.

“Then, shall we go find another slum?”

T h i s w a s c o p ie d f ro m k i ng m t l . org
That day, Katra toured the slums and achieved the astonishing feat of creating 10,000 Demon Servants.

A few days later.

“I don’t need to corrupt any more humans here.”

Th i s w a s c o p ied fr o m k i ng m t l. o r g
After touring the surrounding kingdoms and corrupting 100,000 humans, Katra decided that it was pointless to increase the number any further at this point, and shifted his gaze elsewhere.

“Now, shall we go to the forest where the Elves live?”

Elves.

A race with the characteristic of having long ears, and known to have a lifespan ten times longer than humans.

Also, they are known to be born with excellent talent in handling magic and spirits.

“Although they say that each individual has considerable military power, their weakness is that their numbers are small due to slow reproduction.”

That’s why, despite their outstanding talent, they were forced to live in hiding, pushed back by humans.

“If I succeed in turning these guys into Demon Servants, they will become a great force.”

Since Elves have a long lifespan, they also think long-term, which makes them a race that demons avoid because it takes a long time to corrupt them, but…

“It’s meaningless with my unique trait.”

He was confident that he could conquer them within a month using his unique trait, “Eloquent Speaker.”

“I’ve corrupted many Elves before. It shouldn’t be a problem this time either.”

Katra headed for the forest where the Elves lived with a confident smile.

A week later.
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k ing mtl . o r g

“Your Majesty, we have connected all the invaded kingdoms and roads.”

T h i s w a s co p ie d f r o m k in gm t l . o r g
At the subject’s words, Elvis nodded and said,

“Then, build cities within the walls so that the residents can live.”

“I will follow your orders.”

The subject bowed his head at Elvis’s command.

Th i s w as c o pi e d f r o m k i n gm t l .or g
“For the time being, stop the invasion. We will take time to look after the new territories and the invaded kingdoms, so focus your efforts on this.”

“I will follow your orders.”
T h i s w a s co p i ed f r om k in g m t l . or g

“Now you may leave.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Thus, when the subject left the throne room.

“I have given the orders as you instructed.”

Elvis rose from his seat. He knelt on one knee towards the throne behind him and reported.

Swoosh—

Then, a chilly black fog flowed out from the five thrones, and…

Thud—
T hi s w a s co pi e d f r om ki n gmt l . o r g

The demons revealed themselves, sitting on the five thrones.

Jung Minwoo, sitting in the highest seat, turned his gaze to Elvis and said,

“The kingdoms you have invaded, along with the cities you are now building, will serve as a solid foundation for the future, so you must take good care of them.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“After about a year of managing the nation, we will resume our invasion activities from then on.”

“I understand.”

Elvis bowed his head and replied, then…

“If it’s not rude, may I ask where the newly appeared demon is currently active?”

He casually brought up a point he was curious about.

“That guy is building up his forces in the places occupied by the Pigeons, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.”

At Jung Minwoo’s answer, Elvis expressed a slight doubt.

“I think it would be disadvantageous if he increases his forces, so I’m curious about your true intentions in ignoring him.”

Jung Minwoo fell into thought for a moment at the doubt Elvis felt.

‘Well, Elvis doesn’t know that I’ve corrupted the Pigeons yet, so it’s understandable that he’s wondering.’

He trusted him completely, but it was natural for him to feel anxious about waiting blindly without any information.

‘It would be better to explain.’

There was no reason to hide it, so Jung Minwoo explained to Elvis the reason why he was ignoring Katra.

“Ah…! That was the reason.”

Elvis let out a low exclamation of admiration with eyes full of respect.

“Certainly, with that method, it seems like we can wipe them out in one fell swoop.”

“So, don’t be anxious and just focus on the task given to you.”

“I apologize. It seems my faith in the demons was lacking.”

“No, it was a natural question to have, so don’t worry about it.”

“I am only impressed by your broad generosity.”

Thus, after clearing up the doubts and finishing all the talk.

“Then, let’s see each other again in a year.”

“I will eagerly await that day.”

Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members disappeared from the thrones.

At the same time.

“Something’s strange…”

A man with white hair was lost in deep thought.

“Why is there no progress in the occupation…?”

The man lost in thought was the 2nd Rank Pigeon, no, Angel, “Aroma.”

“In 20 years, even if we hadn’t completely occupied it, we should have occupied a few countries, but…”

Aroma felt frustrated by the lack of progress even as time passed, and he turned his gaze to the angel sitting across from him.

“Seina, what do you think the problem is?”

Seina, who was asked the question, seemed a little flustered, but soon regained her composure and answered.

“I think it’s because we’ve taken too peaceful an approach.”

“A peaceful approach…?”

“Yes, the countries that haven’t been occupied yet don’t believe in religion, so even if we offer a hand of reconciliation, they won’t accept it.”

At Seina’s answer, Aroma crossed his legs and nodded.

“That makes sense, but… to suppress them with force instead of reconciliation, the countries that haven’t been occupied have considerable national power, so we can’t touch them, can we?”

“I acknowledge that their national power is considerable, but wouldn’t we be able to break through if we keep knocking?”

Seina’s argument was simple. Since they had occupied nine-tenths of the planet, even the strongest nation would inevitably fall if they launched an all-out attack with their superior numbers.

“…But, don’t we lack justification?”

Aroma also wanted to use that method, but unlike demons, angels couldn’t force orders.

In other words, even if they fervently believed in and supported the angels, they wouldn’t follow orders they didn’t like.

“We can just create justification.”

“Create justification?”

Aroma gestured for Seina to continue, his eyes gleaming with interest.

“For example, we could spread a rumor that the Demon Lord will descend upon the unoccupied countries in five years.”

“Hmm… and then?”

“If we spread this information, each country will prepare for it. And when the day comes, we can say that the Demon Lord has descended and force them into an invasion.”

Aroma tilted his head at Seina’s words.
T h i s w a s c opi e d f r om k i ng mtl .o rg

“But the Demon Lord won’t actually descend, will he?”

“That doesn’t matter. As long as we have justification for the invasion, that’s all that matters.”

“What if the unoccupied countries band together because of that? Wouldn’t that be troublesome?”

“No problem. The longer the war drags on, the more advantageous it will be for us, since we have a larger population.”

In short, they could just push through with their superior numbers.

“What if other kingdoms or empires readily give way?”

“Then, we can use that as an opportunity to quickly spread our religion.”

“Wouldn’t there be a backlash when they realize the Demon Lord didn’t appear?”

“We can just say that the Demon Lord retreated, tail between his legs, because of the strong resistance from the humans.”

Aroma, who had listened to Seina’s explanation, smiled with satisfaction and said,

“As expected, your way of thinking is different because you have experience in conquering an empire.”

“You flatter me.”

“I really made the right choice in accepting you. If I had brought other incompetent ones, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of occupation.”

Seina, who felt a question at Aroma’s words, carefully asked,

“I’ve been curious about this… may I ask why you only have 9th Ranks under your command, and not other Ranks?”

“The reason? It’s nothing special. It’s because when I conquer a planet, I can keep all the Holy Power to myself without having to share it.”

A very simple and selfish reason.

“…Then, do you give a lot of Holy Power distribution?”

“No, I’m giving it at a 9:1 ratio.”

“…”

Seina was speechless at Aroma’s brazen answer.

‘I pity the angels who work under that guy.’

When leading angels of a lower Rank, it was an unspoken rule to distribute Holy Power at a 6:4 ratio.

‘And he doesn’t seem to know that it’s tradition to split it 5:5 after conquering a planet.’

Although sharing Holy Power during a planetary invasion wasn’t mandatory, it was considered tradition, so most angels distributed it at a 5:5 ratio.

‘At least the distribution ratio was good because I’m a 6th Rank.’

Seina let out a soft sigh inwardly, and at that moment.
T h i s w as c o p i e d f rom k i n g m t l . o r g

“Then, shall we go and deliver the oracle to the humans right away?”

Aroma rose from his seat with a refreshed expression.

“I will assist you.”

Seina also rose from her seat and moved to Aroma’s side.

“Hehehe, if we finish conquering this planet, I’ll be able to meet the requirements for promotion.”

“It will definitely happen.”

“When we conquer the planet, I’ll specially distribute Holy Power at a 9:1 ratio.”

“…”

“Haha, why are you speechless? Don’t tell me you’re so touched that you can’t speak?”

At his condescending words, Seina felt irritation welling up inside her, but…

“…Thank you so much for your consideration.”

If she showed her displeasure, she might not even receive that much, so she managed her expression as best she could and expressed her gratitude to Aroma.

Later, when the oracle that the Demon Lord would descend in five years was delivered.

As expected, the occupied countries began to raise their voices, saying that priests should be dispatched to the unoccupied countries.

Also, the unoccupied countries declared that it was nothing but a fabrication and that they would never accept the dispatch of priests.
