Klauenpis is in a good mood, and now he has solved another problem. Sure enough, the **** fights that go from fist to flesh are heretical. A "peaceful" solution like this is the kingly way. See how good the atmosphere is, in this kind of laughter and laughter It's cool to play GG without any effort.

[Klauenpis, are you too outspoken? Why don't you tell me about such an important battle arrangement here? 】A text message came from Rimuru.

['Okay, I'll leave it to you. ' Didn't you say it yourself at all last time? 】 Klauenpis replied embarrassedly.

【Have it? 】

Have. 》

As always, Mr. Ciel dismantles the forgetful Rimuru.

[Uh, isn't that what I believe you can definitely do with your strength now? I have always been sympathetic to my companions. If there is something I can’t do and need help with the assigned tasks, I will definitely not be stingy. 】

[If you say that, you don't mean to help. After all, I am so capable. 】

[It's a good thing to be calm without help. Yes, good thing! 】

[Then don't talk too much. 】

Well, the results of the score statistics have also been released.

"The statistics are over!" After confirming the circulation board handed over, she announced in a high-profile manner, "The winner - a slight advantage over His Highness Zhu Cai, Mr. Yoshida, the dessert chef from another world!"

Yoshida proudly raised his muscular arms in victory.

With a rough appearance with a bald head, he thought he had just won a boxing championship.

In the warm atmosphere of the scene, the contestants and the judges applauded and congratulated, Zhu Cai said to him with a slightly regretful expression: "I still can't compare to you."

"This time it's just luck, I'll accept your challenge next time."

"Well, it's limited to the founding ceremony." Klauenpis said as the host, of course he wouldn't reveal his true purpose, but—

Taking advantage of the warm atmosphere, she continued to perform her duty of revealing her identity, and loudly announced to the surrounding people with a smile: "There are restaurants in all parts of the Demon Kingdom where you can eat as much as the dishes that stood out from the preliminary round to the finals. Oh, you are welcome to visit then, please be sure to try it once. The specific location and suitable time—

"Please refer to the Guide to Walking in the Land of Monsters". Tonight will continue to hold the closing ceremony of the founding ceremony here, please be sure to appreciate it!"

……………………

After the founding ceremony, the communication between the Demon Kingdom and the Western countries became much smoother, and at the same time, he successfully joined the council that currently dominates the Western economies.

Rimuru was prepared to negotiate hard, but it went very smoothly.

Although there is a terrifying power displayed by various countries in the Demon Kingdom, Limuru can also suppress the possibility of other demon kings plotting against humans, and they all want to use Limuru's "bad good" personality to make money from the Devil Kingdom. The benefits and so on don't seem like the friendly way that Rimuru expected.

Guy also "as promised" sent demons to the Western countries to make trouble for Limuru's men to fight back and "sell grace" to humans, but Diablo thought it was a slap in the face of Limuru, who had just sworn to "prosperity between humans and demons" , As a result, the red and the black became dark, and the land fell and the earth cracked. Let the nations think that Guy has finally made up his mind to destroy humanity, and that Diablo saved them, and is grateful for that.

But Rimuru, as always, looks at the results all-right.

Unfortunately, the good times for peace do not last long.

A new war is coming.

……………………

The Empire of the East, one of the oldest human nations in the world.

The foundation is for a small country to continuously absorb the surrounding big countries to build the foundation, and then continue to annex all the surrounding countries, and finally form a super long "Eastern Union" with a combined name, and because this country does not have any equal diplomacy, all countries are not enemies. It is a vassal, either join or destroy, and is extremely domineering, so most people call it the "Empire of the East".

All the military power of the empire is directly controlled by Emperor Rudra's great power. The local noble lords have no ownership of the territory, nor do they have military power. They only have the right to use, operate, and command that is equivalent to renting from the emperor. After accepting the surrender and joining of other countries, the same rectification must be carried out, otherwise - death.

Using force to create fear, but at the same time, it also provides sufficient living security for those who join the empire, and at the same time vigorously publicizes it at all costs, not only to be kind and powerful to the powerful, but also to make the people think that it is a happy thing to be an imperial person.

Some people may wonder - can centralization really achieve this level? Even if it is done, how can the emperor have the strength and energy to control everything in person?

However, Emperor Rudra, who has that skill and the "Marshal" assistant, can really do it. Even if the generations are constantly changing, the appearance and personality of the emperor will hardly change. In people's eyes, this is really strange, maybe the emperor is no longer human.

The reason why it is only limited to the east is that there are storm dragons in the Jura Great Forest. Although there is a north-south route that bypasses the center of the continent, the north is all mountains, and the mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The large armed country of Devagang, the mountain is the habitat of most of the dragons in the world, and the land and sea in the south once occupied the demon kings Clayman, Kalion, Frey, Leon, and Milim, occupying the "Top Ten". Demon King" half.

But the reason why the empire did not move, the local people also believed very much—it was just that the empire was not ready. To defeat these existences, the empire only needed enough time to prepare.

And then, they are now ready.

Next, look at the military power of the Empire.

First of all, the standing military organizations that can go out at any time can be roughly divided into three main armies—

Mecha Corps: After adjustment by mecha technicians, the main force is mechanical soldiers, with neutral mechanized military weapons such as chariots, which is a symbol of modern armed forces and imperial technology;

Beast Legion: The empire has captured all kinds of powerful monsters from all over the world, breeding, cultivating and dominating them, using their power, a symbol of the empire's power;

Mixed Legion: People and demons outside the strength specification, it sounds good, each of them is full of personality and powerful, but it sounds ugly, it is a "concentration camp for troubled people", not suitable for collective action as an army, but according to the adventurer's way to make one Combining them would pose a terrifying threat, a symbol of the empire's mind—even if it was quite incompetent;

Of course, ordinary soldiers are also indispensable. It is better to say that this number is the largest. They are also equipped with the minimum rapid-fire firearms and explosive magic weapons.

The above-mentioned troops are all active duty, adding up to nearly one million. If you want to include the domestic reserve force and the guard organization to maintain order, the number can be more than doubled.
