The Eastern Empire has a powerful army. In addition to the main force of millions of soldiers, there is also the Imperial Emperor's Guards Knights, which are considered "out of date" magic legion by the imperial people, which is equivalent to the imperial guards. On the surface, it sounds and looks like Old fashioned, but not so.

The Imperials believe that magic is inferior to magic technology, mostly because of the range and firing speed, but it is only the result of theory and internal tests at present. It is not known how it compares with the high-level monsters and demons who use magic more easily than humans, but this is It does not hinder the self-confidence of the imperial people.

There is no shortage of "visitors from other worlds" among the guard knights. In fact, the number of "visitors from other worlds" in the empire is four figures, and those who have unique skills suitable for combat and are incorporated into the army account for one-fifth. Those who joined the Knights of the Guards also got the ultimate ability of the cottage bestowed by Emperor Rudra with [Ultimate Grant · Acting Rights].

At the same time, this is also a proof that the emperor will not treat people differently because of their background, and that all talented people have opportunities. But this is not because the emperor is big enough, but because his ultimate ability [Michael the King of Justice] is enough to control everything.

The same is true for the one-eyed man sitting on a luxurious high-end office chair in that luxurious office with a luxurious desk attached. Compared with the nobles who are rampant in the officialdom, his background is not good, and he was framed and lost his wife, left eye, and fertility.

He is a thin man with an eye patch covering his left eye. He is about forty years old now. His name is Calcilio. , Inadvertently kicked the person who framed him, and succeeded in revenge. He is currently the head of the Mecha Legion and one of the "Three Generals" of the Empire.

On the opposite side of his table was a doll-like girl with her head bowed. On the table was a small treasure box that she brought up. Inside were several pieces of magic crystals and magic weapons produced in the Demon Kingdom.

Even though being able to come to him must have passed layers of inspections without any problems, he still checked carefully before taking out the contents for reference.

Suddenly, I couldn't put it down.

Compared with the magic spar mass-produced by the empire with magic technology, in terms of value, one is worth ten! Both energy and weapon materials are top-notch. He is not very good at appraising magic weapons, but he can feel that he can kill B-level monsters casually when he swings them.

He is the head of the legion, but his personal strength is not negligent in cultivation. It is nothing to kill b-level monsters in seconds, but this is a mass-produced thing, mass-produced!

"Damn it, those guys are hiding such a lucrative thing from me!"

While Calcilio was very satisfied with the tribute, he was also very angry.

The object of his anger is the department that is currently investigating the enemy. The empire is powerful, but it is not arrogant enough to go out of its way when facing the Demon Kingdom that has already shown its strength. Collecting information is a matter of course.

In this way, wouldn't those departments be able to join forces with the research department and nobles with spare money to make a payment?

This displeasure is not groundless. As a senior cadre of the empire, he has already inquired about some news when dealing with people of the same status, but he didn’t think there were many benefits before. He believes that the things produced by the empire’s technology are the best, and the market for inferior things is not big. , only for collection, now it seems that there is a lot of money to be made.

"These materials come from the underground labyrinth currently located in Limulu, the magic city, and the equipment comes from the top craftsmen of the magic kingdom. How do you feel?" the visitor asked cautiously.

Calcilio raised his chin to the visitor: "Hmph, tell me, what is your request, Her Majesty Queen Coberia."

Coberia is the new king of Kistau, a neighboring country of the empire. In order to replace Clayman who died for some reason, they will naturally pay attention to this kind of international incident as intelligence. But Calcilio admits that the Queen's use of the equal title of "Your Excellency" is itself a kind of contempt.

"As we all know", Clayman, a puppet master, is a demon king known for his ability to directly treat his subordinates as puppets. His strength is not very good. Calcilio is also confident that he can defeat Clayman in a duel. There are more than a hundred people who beat Clayman in a single challenge.

Then Cobelia, who was originally just a puppet of Clayman, can only be worse, and now she condescends herself, so she will naturally be looked down upon by the high-ranking people in the country whose strength is the most respected.

Coppelia pretended not to see it, and said, "You have the strongest mech army in the empire, and you still hope to try not to pass through our country."

"Hmph, you offer these things in the hope that my army will directly attack the Demon Kingdom, and you can make a lot of money for yourself, and you think you can defeat other legions, right? I do have the right to ask His Majesty the emperor for a mission, Moreover, the fact that the Demon Kingdom is located on a plain is indeed more suitable for my legion to march, but I kindly advise you, if you want to survive and avoid losses, surrender, and I can help you submit a surrender letter to the emperor."

It's a beautiful job.

The best way for the empire to attack the west is through the Demon Kingdom, but if the entire army marches straight in, the flanks will be exposed to the dwarves and the puppet king's country. It is also an option to divide the army into three groups and attack at the same time, but if one of them can be turned into an enemy It's better to be friends.

If Coppelia refuses here, Calcilio doesn't mind making her seem to pay the price for "sincerity" or "arrogance"—he does her here.

"...I understand, I'll go back and prepare now." Coppelia bowed, and was about to leave—

"You don't have to, I have the best pen and paper, and I'm here to write." Calcilio put the treasure box under his desk, and pushed the pen and paper to the opposite side.

The text on the paper has basically been written, leaving only a few places that need to fill in the country name and signature, which are obviously formatted documents~lightnovelpub.net~ The empire has done many of the same things in the past, and the legion commander prepared a stack of them himself. Of course.

Cobelia glared fiercely, turned her head and looked outside the door, bit her lip and began to write.

Calcilio nodded in satisfaction. Of course, after doing this, he still wanted to fight for the profits Coberia mentioned. As for Coberia, under such a forced situation, she had something in her mind that was not good for the empire. Calcilio doesn't care about the abacus.

Emperor Rudra's control is so reassuring and frightening.

Demon Kingdom Hekatia Tempest, Demon Capital Rimuru, Council Hall—

Klaumpis stood across from Chief Rimuru's seat, and said with a smile to the high-ranking officials who had gathered in response to the movement of the Eastern Empire, "That's it—Coberia surrendered to the Empire on behalf of the puppet nation."

"Is this something that should be said so happily? It's terrible!" Rimuru shouted disregarding decency.
