Chapter 50: Chapter 49 Yila Proxy, Trustworthy

"Miss Senata, notify your subordinates. Issue an ultimatum to the Lizardman Territory, demanding they make up all back taxes by the end of winter. Then do the same for the Centaur Territory and the Gorgon Territory."

Yila instructed thus, taking on the planning responsibilities while Satan Ye was still confused. He looked at Senata and said, "As I mentioned before, directly attacking the Gorgons is a very poor choice."

So, Yila’s choice was...

"Then we’ll attack all at once. Either kill the lords of those territories or make them completely submit to the Demon King Territory. We must also find ways to strengthen control to prevent future betrayals."

To the indifferent and calm Yila, who said "attack all at once," Senata responded with a smile and a curtsey, indicating she understood what to do.

"Mr. Black Knight, Mr. Insect Man, Miss Headless Knight, Mr. Mechanical Body, Miss Hilena, the coordination of the combat troops is up to you... but perhaps the succubi need not participate."

Yila said this lightly, planning the strategy based on his previous impressions of these creatures, adding, "If the enemies submit again, that’s best. But if they gather forces to resist, we’ll need to rely on you."

"Of course, I will also join the battle."

In truth, Yila speaking these words at this moment was somewhat overstepping his authority. These words should have come from Satan Ye or the official spokesman she appointed.

However, no one paid attention to this matter.

"Oh, okay, okay~"

"Going to fight alongside you?"

"I never thought this day would come."

"Mr. Yila..."

"..."

In fact, everyone seemed quite excited because they never thought there would be a day they would fight alongside Yila Elkaras.

Yila was a genuine *legendary* figure. Many people worldwide could recognize Yila’s identity and face; he was renowned globally.

To describe it from a game perspective, Yila was one of the few SSR units of the Empire’s forces.

As an enemy, Yila was an extremely terrifying presence; few were willing to face him directly. His name alone could stop small demons within the Demon Control Area from crying in fear.

But as an ally?

To make it more vivid, Mikaela’s blade—Marilena—was a nightmare as an enemy. But if she became a player’s companion (minion), a controllable character?

That would naturally bring unexpected joy.

"Slaughter? Hmm... But actually, there was no need for demons to come to this point."

The Black Knight Leader spoke, sighing lightly. Known as "Little Black," this leader seemed to have a kind heart, saying, "Hopefully, they can repent once again."

"Little Black."

Reminded by the Headless Knight Leader, the Black Knight also felt his words were inappropriate. He could only shake his head and say, "They never declared betrayal; they just... stopped obeying."

But for a whole led by a king, that was enough to warrant the death penalty.

Just like Yila, who fled the Empire... but then Isabella revoked the warrant. It’s hard to say if it was out of guilt, but the Empire remained the most important, right?

After all, when that one was king, he was a cold and rational ruler.

"We won’t create too much slaughter."

Yila said simply.

"If we don’t strike fear and submission into those betrayers, they will eventually betray again."

The Insect-man Clan Leader, Rainbow Shell, raised a different opinion. Even the Black Knight, who disliked excessive killing, reluctantly nodded in agreement with Rainbow Shell’s view.

"Just build roads."

Yila said casually. With everyone looking puzzled, he felt no need to explain in detail and added, "The easier the transportation and communication, the harder and costlier it is to betray."

Seeing everyone still confused, Yila sighed gently, preparing to explain in detail.

"No, no, no! Yila, if you start explaining, it’ll be lunchtime! We’ll just follow your plan!"

Vera, understanding the advanced and correct nature of Yila’s ideas, said. She added, "But why didn’t you mention me earlier? Is my Undead Army unworthy?"

To this, Yila paused, then instinctively said, "Undead Army? You?"

His words implied looking down on Vera.

"Underground! From the underground! As long as I supply magic power, the Skeleton Army will emerge!"

Vera said proudly, like a child showing off a toy.

"Supply Mana... then forget it."

Yila, fully aware of Vera’s limited Mana storage, said with a sigh. Seeing Vera’s deeply hurt expression, he glanced around at the expectant expressions of the other leaders.

"Then, it’s decided. Let us reburnish Satan Ye’s majesty with scarlet blood!"

Yila’s stern tone made all the leaders who had witnessed Yila as an opponent on the battlefield somewhat apprehensive. But almost immediately, they were thrilled, thinking, *Yila’s on our side! We’re invincible now!*

"Oh, oh, oh!!"

"For His Highness the Demon King!"

"We, know, the enemy’s, fate!"

"Yila!"

"Sir!"

"Awesome!"

"Yeah!"

"We have no chance of losing."

"Hmm, as Mr. Yila said, that... try not to kill too much."

"Oh, oh, oh!! Yila is with us! The Demon King Territory is invincible!!!"

The leaders seemed very fervent.

...

"But, Mr. Yila, didn’t you say before..."

At this moment, Satan Ye, still troubled by this matter, timidly spoke, looking at Hilena for help, who also had a heated gaze. She said, "If this isn’t good for the Demon King Territory, we can hold off on punishing the traitors."

Satan Ye truly was an adorable king...

"Hmm?"

Satan Ye made a puzzled sound as Yila started to pat her head.

"That’s a trivial matter. You are the Demon King, Satan Ye."

Yila said as he explained his previous words. Looking into Satan Ye’s ruby-like eyes, he added, "Even if you want to pluck the stars from the sky, we’ll still get them for you, let alone..."

"What we face are merely weak reptiles."

"..."

Satan Ye felt an immense pressure; she was indeed overwhelmed by Yila’s *leader aura*... How strong must Isabella have been to control the urge to abdicate?

But for some reason, her tail was wagging happily...

Such ease; for the first time, she found being a king so easy.
