Chapter 84 – Aggression
The third stage of the five-year plan was successful, and I received information that the Hero of the Ray Kingdom had finally been killed in a political war, so I declared war on the Ray Kingdom. Landing operations were carried out in multiple locations, and those operations were successfully launched all at the same time. The defense force of the enemy nation was too small. There was no one on the coastline.
To quickly summon a hero, I dropped a magic bomb in the center of the Ray Kingdom. The magic tool that could replace the mobile phone had been completed, so the information would be updated in real-time. The magic bomb was strong enough to crush eight cities in two hours. Millions of people died instantly.
Since it came to this, I called myself the demon lord to the Ray Kingdom. Such was the birth of the Demon Lord Palmer. I’ve waited for 15 years. I was also curious about what kind of existence the hero would become to defeat the guy whose negative karma value broke through the limit from this invasion, and I did my best to become a sacrifice for Pierre, I didn’t want a half-assed person to be summoned.
We occupied villages along the coast of the Ray Kingdom one after another, looted things, and took people back as slaves. Since there were many slaves who worked diligently, there was a shortage of slaves, which was pretty serious. The freed slaves also worked seriously, so it wasn’t that much of a problem in terms of the labor force, but it was more convenient to have slaves around when tough manual labor was required.
We reached the royal capital in a day and slowly occupied the villages and cities around it. The system notification finally echoed in my head after six days of waiting for the hero summoning. Six days! I could have occupied the Ray Kingdom if I tried doing it seriously. They were a very slow-moving nation.
[“Warning. A hero has been summoned. You are the target. This warning will be sent to the hero summoning target and the creature with the highest negative karma value when the hero is summoned.”]
As the second warning, the vile goddess didn’t bother explaining. I massacred a lot of people, so I guess she was stuck handling the aftermath. It seemed that the world of the gods lived according to the original system after all, and it seemed to be a class society, so it sounded difficult to live there. Of course someone among them would appear to dump an ordinary person from somewhere to a different world with a lower degree of civilization and watch them struggle to vent their stress.
…I did have an expectation that the summoned hero would be a former Japanese person, but when I heard it was a 230cm tall dude, it probably wasn’t the case. I never heard of Japanese people being that tall. It seemed he possessed a huge amount of mana as expected. He immediately appeared on the battlefield and mowed down our soldiers.
As I watched such a hero while confirming his position with a crystal magic tool, I came to understand the feelings of the final boss in the RPG world in my previous life. The hero and Pierre would have successfully formed a party, and all that is left now is to have Pierre kill me using the hero’s magic power as planned.
Pierre, who was stuck with little mana capacity as a drawback, should be able to kill me if he was accompanied by a competent mana tank. Also, it seemed there were other members in the party, but I would eliminate them the moment they met me, so there was no problem.
To have Pierre build trust with the hero, I sent various armies for them to fight. To be frank, if cannons and guns were fired continuously, one of them might get through their defense and kill them, and it was also possible that my son got caught up in it and died, so that was NG.
After observing it for a while, I was able to confirm that the hero didn’t kill the soldiers of the Deal Empire, probably because he was kind. Or rather, he seemed to think they were brainwashed by the demon lord. The soldiers I sent them were all believers of the Palpal religion, who worship the ruling demon lord instead of the actual goddess, so I could only say the perspective of the otherworlder was weird.
Pierre, who had the setting of being a humble believer of the Knut religion, held anger over the Palpal religion’s unbelievable heresy. This was the result of his acting training from an early age. Things might be bad if the summoned hero turned out to be Japanese, but to be blunt, there was no such saint among them. As long as there was no person born in Japan with a karma value of positive 7000 x 1052, it was close to impossible.
The hero crossed the sea on a sailing ship, which was surrounded by battleships from a distance and escorted. It seemed that the hero mistook them to be large aquatic creatures. So his eyesight wasn’t that great… I could have easily sunk their vessel through a cannon barrage, and it was highly likely the hero would die from that, but my heir son might be caught in it and die, so it was NG (2nd time).
It wasn’t like his physical ability was particularly dangerous, so it seemed that the negative karma value was converted as it was into mana capacity? It seemed he also acquired several useful characteristics, but it didn’t feel like a cheat character. Having bottomless mana capacity already made someone very strong, but he was weaker than I expected.
…If I killed this guy, I would have to wait another ten years, so that was a difficult choice. As the hero successfully arrived in this continent, he was furious when he saw the devastated church territory at the southernmost region. Well, the Papal territory was preserved in that state at the end of the war to remind people of the horrors of war.
The area around the church where the pope lived was still a mountain of rubble, and although the church was only partially destroyed, it was a complete ghost town. If possible, I would like them to come straight to the castle without stopping by the city.
