Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

9 – 9.

In ‘Shien Chronicles’, the role of the devil worshipers was just a group of villains for side quests, nothing more, nothing less.

Bandits, thieves, and intermediate monsters are strong compared to miscellaneous mobs, but weak compared to demons, named monsters, and named villains.

The setting, such as who their leader is, why they worship the demon king, and how humans use magic, was not disclosed, so I thought it was just a group for experience points.

So I didn’t pay too much attention to it until now, but now it’s becoming such a problem.

“Minister, how strong was Viscount Fjord?”

“There was one Templar that included one Expert and three Auror Users. In addition, there were vigilantes in each village, but they were not enough to be called a force.”

“There were knights and vigilantes. Still, if this one didn’t escape, at least the Master should have stepped in. Is there still a Master from the demon worshipers’ side?”

“The head of the demon worshipers who have not yet been discovered is presumed to be of master class, but except for him, the two masters all died during the war.”

In that case, did the boss move directly?

Come now?

“It is hard to understand that someone who had not been seen during the war suddenly appeared and annihilated the small territory. Come to think of it, wasn’t it also the place where the members of the Hwangyeong Knights who went to investigate last time died?”

“Yes. This disaster was also discovered by investigators who went down to investigate it.”

To be honest, apart from the Viscount’s Knights, if even the Hwangyeong Knights died there, there must be something.

Wait, no way…

“Did those investigators find any traces of the dead Imperial Knights?”

“No, Your Majesty. The entire territory was destroyed, so no trace of them could be found.”

“Apart from Viscount Fjord, is there any damage to other territories?”

“Yes, it is. We investigated all the surrounding estates, but there was no damage.”

“If, what if.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Is it an excessive delusion to say that the entire territory was erased in order to erase the traces of the Imperial Knights?”

“That… It is possible. If the devil worshipers joined hands with the traitors… “

“They’s base was the Viscounty of Fjord, and they tried to silence the Hwang Young Knights who came out of the investigation to reveal their identities. After that, one territory was annihilated to erase the traces.”

It is not impossible.

If the head of them was really there, it wouldn’t have been difficult to kill the Hwangyeong Knights and annihilate the territory afterward.

Damn it, it would have been a lot easier to figure out the situation if I could have known who the leader of the demon worshipers was, what his tendencies were, and so on.

“By the way, Minister. If they caused a catastrophe to erase their tracks, why do you think they would leave items containing demonic powers alone?”

“I think it’s more reasonable to say that I didn’t clean it up, rather than saying I left it alone. According to the report, a considerable number of items were found in the library of a private house, but if they had used that place as a base for a long time, there is a high possibility that they could not have dealt with it in the process of hastily withdrawing.”

“Well, demon worshipers aren’t that thorough.”

In fact, during the war, one of the Demon Worshipers’ Masters left a similar trail and died at the hands of Shien after being tracked down.

I only gained strength by selling my soul to the demon lord, but most demon worshipers are insignificant by nature, so it can’t be helped that their work is sloppy.

But I don’t think even the boss would be so lax.

“Then proceed with the investigation under the premise that it is the work of the devil worshipers, but always keep the other direction open.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I will keep that in mind.”

“Is there anything else to report?”

“Yes. However, the kingdom has recruited a master this time.”

“As the master just? Who is it? Sword Demon? Or are you a knight without an owner?”

“No. That was a Master I had never been able to grasp.”

After…

I let out a small sigh and then spoke to myself.

“Things keep happening these days that Jim doesn’t know about.”

After watching the ending, this is the problem.

It hurts my head to see guys who didn’t appear in the game, or who didn’t have information about them crawling out one by one.

“I’m sorry.”

I was talking about the information in the game, but Dia couldn’t look up, perhaps because she thought she was rebuking the intelligence department’s mistakes.

“Well, even the intelligence department cannot know everything about the empire. It was also a burden to reduce the intelligence department’s budget, so I won’t blame you. “

I didn’t have to go through the intelligence department, because I had all the information in the game, so I used the war as an excuse to significantly reduce the intelligence department’s budget, and this comes back like this.

“So, what is that Master doing?”

“Because he has a platinum-colored aura, he is called the Platinum Knight. It is said that he was sealed above the count for catching the Hydra that inhabited Daman, but Daman has not yet found out about his past.”

“The count was given to a man who did not know where he came from… But it seems pretty impatient.”

A Platinum Knight…

As expected, he is a character who did not appear in the game.

“Why did that platinum knight go to Daman? Do you have any guesses?”

Actually, when you become a master, you are treated well no matter which country you go to.

Not only that, but even if you went to Zer, you would have been treated well, and even if you came to our empire, you would have been treated well.

But why did he go to Daman?

“Perhaps the reason why his materialistic desires are exceptional.”

The only thing that made him special was his wealth, so he naturally wondered if it was because of his greed, but Dia denied it.

“According to my research so far, this is not the case. Rather, he is called a model of knighthood for his loyal and frugal appearance, so at present, the most likely theory is that one or more of his parents may have just been born.”

“Hmm, patriotism… “

I don’t know.

In fact, it is not uncommon for those who have reached the level of Master to live without making their names known and then one day reveal themselves.

If the master wants to be a snake’s head rather than a dragon’s tail, then he might just go for it.

But since timing is timing, I can’t help but feel suspicious for some reason.

“After today, I will increase the budget of the Ministry of Information again. Focus on the Master of Daman, and don’t neglect monitoring the trends of other kingdoms. Oh, by any chance, is there any news from other kingdoms?”

“This time, Zer and Anon are said to have established an academy following our empire. Other than that, nothing special yet.”

“Zerya, even if that’s the case, even Anon?”

“Yes, it seems that the intention is to increase internal stability while our empire repairs the damage. A while ago, Zer and the king of Anon had a meeting, and it is assumed that they decided together there.”

Oh…

I didn’t expect it to come out like this.

This is definitely a trick.

The academy is sure to be of great help to the country’s future, and even if Tamiel or Daman suggested that we build an empire together, they would be able to reject it saying that they couldn’t afford it because of the academy business.

One surprising thing is that Anon also participated.

“Are Anon’s messengers too old? If I knew him, I wouldn’t have made this judgment.”

I thought Anon would never be alone when he heard that the empire was weakening.

I wouldn’t have declared war right away, but I thought I’d show some kind of action and provoke the empire, but I never thought I’d build an academy, let alone provocation.

“That is… Apparently, there was a time when a hero fought a duel with the Lion King during the war.”

“Yes, ah.”

After being broken by the hero, is that arrogance also cracked?

The source of King Anon’s confidence was not his national strength, but his own strength, so he could have thought a lot if he had suffered a crushing defeat.

“If the lion had wisdom, it would be quite a headache, but in the current situation, it’s rather fortunate.”

Now that I have time to tidy up the house, it’s rather nice.

Without Zer and Anon, there won’t be much the other kingdoms can do, so we’ll make good use of this time.

“Sir, have you heard from Sir Giel how far the investigation inside the empire has progressed?”

“Yes, I met Sir Giel not too long ago and talked about it, but he said he couldn’t find any problems except for the East, which was a problem this time.”

“Okay then, the range has been roughly culled. Cooperate with Sir Giel and investigate the East again. This time, the Marquis of Gyor is also included in the scope of the investigation.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Well, I wouldn’t mind being investigated as a marquise, but what can I do?

If you twist it, you should have managed the eastern part well.
