Volume 14 Chapter 29 Operation Commences
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
…Just like my mother-in-law said… Retreating here would be a waste of their lives. We should mourn them after we’ve survived this war….
The abrupt loss of those I’d competed with brought a surge of loneliness, but even stronger was the determination rising within me to win this battle for survival.
”Just as my mother-in-law said. All right, contact His Majesty and my father-in-law. We’re launching the ‘Abyss Gate conquest operation’ ahead of schedule. Mobilize the combined ground forces of the Margrave South District, the True Demon Kingdom, and the Black Dragon Duchy! Our target is the Abyss Gate!”
””Yes!””
The officers rush down from the observation deck to deliver the orders.
”Kent… I swear, I’ll protect you with my life…”
Watching the officers leave, Milly looks worried about the challenging operation ahead. Gently placing a hand on her face, I smile warmly to wipe away her fears.
”I’m stubborn, you see. I plan to protect everyone I can and see this tough operation through. Plus, I’m all fired up to make more kids with Milly, so let’s seal up those ‘otherworldly monsters’ quick and leave the country to my subordinates while we enjoy some private time.”
Milly’s face relaxes a bit, taking in my positive energy.
”When you come back, I’m keeping Kent all to myself for days, you know.”
”Oh no, you don’t. Mr. Kent belongs to everyone. When we returns safely, we’ll have a week-long party. We must hold a grand festival to celebrate.”
The succubus mother and daughter seemed full of enthusiasm for their future activities, without a trace of solemnity.
”Got it. Once everything’s over and we’re back, it’s all about pleasure!”
The soldiers of the Margrave South District nearby burst into hearty laughter.
”My General is already certain of victory. Soldiers, there’s nothing to fear! If you fight for King Kent, we WILL wipe out those monsters, return home, get rewarded, and snuggle with your wives! Give it your all and come back alive!”
Garvey, standing nearby, rallied the troops to boost morale.
”What, the enemy has already lost half their numbers! With the battle tactics the Margrave South District army has honed, wiping them out will be easy! This is a bonus chance for all of you! Let’s snatch all the gold we can from our King!”
Kondrad, also nearby, was giving a rousing speech to fire up the soldiers.
”””Long live Margrave South District King Kent Blackdagger!! Long live!! Long live!!”””
”Alright!! Everyone! Prepare for battle! From this moment, we begin the fight to drive the ‘another world monsters’ from this land!!”
As the bells announcing the offensive began to ring, the fort became frantic.

*Shifa’s perspective
In the Felward Fort strategy room, Shifa was reading about the death of the kings of each country. The branch operations that had already begun were proposed by each country, and the results were close to complete victories, but they had also paid a heavy price.
”So, Nokin and Fabulanova have fallen…”
”Yes, from now on, Lord Kent will be in charge of both countries. Lady Delprius, who is like a concubine, is locked as the successor to the Black Dragon Dukedom, and I think the eastern Garuda Principality will be ruled by Lady Elkisa, the Beast King Priestess.”
It had been expected that there would be great losses when the war started, but the death of the kings had not been predicted. So, thinking about the aftermath of the war gave Shifa a headache. But now, the task at hand is to defeat the ‘another world monsters’, or there will be no future, so Shifa decided to think about these problems after returning safely.
”Quenelra, don’t bother His Majesty with trivial reports. It’s probably about Kent again. Just because it’s a hassle, doesn’t mean you should dump it on someone else. Just make sure they don’t go rogue.”
Arbalest, clad in armor and wielding his beloved sword, entered the strategy room with his bride, Eclair. It seems he had already received the word to deploy and had come to report that his preparations for battle were complete.
”Your Majesty, this is no time to concern yourself with such trivial matters. Kent has mustered his troops and is ready to depart at any moment. We await your command to initiate the operation.”
Always dressed in casual attire in the capital city, Arbalest was, in truth, a purebred warrior entrusted with the Margrave South District through his martial prowess, and later refined his intellect. It’s likely that his blood boils with excitement for the upcoming grand battle.
”I can imagine Kent being a pain like that. But if it’s Kent, he could even hand over the Demon Lord’s throne and it would be fine.”
”Watch your tongue. Such talk in front of the ministers could ignite unnecessary flames.”
”Indeed. Let’s worry about everything else after we’ve won this battle. This time, I’ve even brought the Demon Lord’s equipment, so I should be of some use. Not just for show, you know.”
Clad in the Demon Lord’s equipment taken from the castle, a tremor ran through his body at the prospect of the deadly breakthrough about to begin.
As a Demon Lord who has ruled with tyranny for ten years, I must save the people and atone for my misdeeds… For that, I must risk my life to defeat the ‘otherworldly monster.’
Once more, I mustered my courage, took up my sword, led the officers in the room, and walked towards the troops waiting to deploy.
