After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King
Chapter 77 - 76: Demon War King?

Chapter 77: Chapter 76: Demon War King?

Yila also roughly understood that merfolk were actually similar to Demon Dog Trainers, belonging to the summoner’s class. Perhaps a large part of their combat power came from their pets.

That would be the "Shield Shell" and the "Swordfish," which sounded like a balanced offensive and defensive fighting style.

As for the fishing, Yila no longer needed to use marking methods to count the number of fish schools. After all, the fishing nets used by the Sea Demons had sufficiently large mesh, and they would actively throw the small fry back into the sea.

It seemed that the Sea Demons also understood the principle of not exhausting the resources through overfishing. Although many other monsters didn’t get this, they understood it themselves.

Some things, Yila didn’t need to tell them how to do. Before he even spoke, people (monsters) had already figured out the rules of survival on their own, perhaps exploring these truths since ancient times.

Just like the monsters learned to use fertilizer, the Sea Demons knew to release small fish that hadn’t grown up yet. Every creature would find its own best way of survival.

And the efficiency of fishing, while not a huge haul, was enough to feed the Demon King Territory with three or four fishing boats working together.

However, because of the logistics and transportation issues in this world, even if they wanted to sell the surplus fish, they could only make them into dried fish or salted fish to sell, and even then, the sales might not be good.

After all, it wasn’t a special product like the blue orchids.

But to obtain blue orchids on a larger scale would require more goblins and little demons to plant them. The former could only rely on birth, while the latter needed to throw flesh and blood into the Demon Pool to get the Demon Worms, then wait for the worms to grow into little demons.

Ah, right, it seemed that the extra fish caught couldn’t be used for trade. As a more easily obtained meat compared to cattle and sheep, it should be used to nurture new little demons.

Yila thought about this, listening to the dual commands of "Full left rudder! Returning" and "Full left rudder! Returning!" and watched as the fishing boats turned 180 degrees to the right and began the return journey.

The Demon King Territory, which had many things to do, still had a lot of work waiting to be done.

As Yila continued to think about what to start with next...

"Wow! What a big fish!"

"..."

Satan Ye, holding a big fish, looked very happy. This fish was really large, maybe as long as Satan Ye’s arm. Perhaps this was the biggest gain of this trip.

Going back to give it to Mr. Lime, he could probably make a nice fish feast...

Yila was quite looking forward to it.

Then, after returning, the first thing to prepare would be the forest clearing plan, incorporating the little fairy tribes in the Grier Forest and some other useful little monsters, and clearing out a portion of the dangerous Magic Beasts.

Ensuring that the farming expansion later wouldn’t be disturbed by other factors.

"Sa..."

Yila, who had set a small plan for what to do next, was about to tell Satan Ye about it, but seeing Satan Ye having so much fun, he thought about it and decided not to tell her yet.

Let Satan Ye enjoy the happiness of a little girl playing...

But because he planned to take Satan Ye along during the clearing, it was something he would have to tell her sooner or later... There was still so much to consider afterwards.

The construction would probably revolve around "status."

Apart from infrastructure, the Demon Kingdom needed to become, as quickly as possible, a country that was no longer irrelevant in terms of world status. The rise in status was multifaceted.

Strength that others couldn’t ignore, certain traits surpassing other countries, selling resources and materials that other countries needed but couldn’t produce well... All these could be key to increasing the Demon Control Area’s world status.

Also, the cohesion between territories needed to be increased. First, it was necessary to make transportation within and between territories more convenient, so road construction needed to be put on the agenda quickly.

To get rich, first build roads.

It was also very necessary to further sanction some still rebellious territories, but it was crucial to prioritize and order them, taking them on one at a time from near to far was unrealistic.

This would be a huge project, perhaps requiring orders for those loyal territories to act as a deterrent to the Demon King Territory... The territories near the border all remained loyal.

Demons were demons, their loyalty was beyond human imagination.

Of course, those betrayed demons seemed to remain loyal, only in their eyes, the Demon King worthy of their loyalty had died. Perhaps, in a sense, this was also a kind of fandom.

Thinking like this, Satan Ye needed to quickly become a king who could manage things alone... No, that was too high of a demand for her; even her father couldn’t manage things alone.

So, quickly becoming a king who could "manage things independently" would be good enough.

"Mr. Yila! Can we have grilled fish tonight?!"

Satan Ye smiled happily, hugging the big fish in her arms. She seemed very eager, saying, "Call everyone, let’s have a good meal tonight!"

However, we just had a feast yesterday, holding another one today would delay the work again.

And if you keep eating like this every day, won’t you get fat? I remember... Hilena said, you don’t need to manage your figure, right? Where do you store your energy?

Yila thought about this, glancing at Satan Ye’s happily swaying fiery red tail. He vaguely remembered that when they first met, Satan Ye’s tail wasn’t that big, so was the nutrition all stored in the tail?

"Once Mr. Lime has prepared the fish, have the maids deliver it to each room."

Yila said this, dispelling Satan Ye’s idea of continuing the feast tonight. He added, "The Sea Demons need rest, I have some work to do, and you need to get up early tomorrow. I think it would be better for you to lead the forest clearing as mentioned before."

"Huh? Me?"

Satan Ye pointed at herself, unconfidently asking, looking hesitant but eventually nodding reluctantly, "But I don’t know anything about command..."

This was quite normal; even Isabella didn’t know much.

But Isabella knew how to use other generals, whereas Satan Ye might take another path...

"It’s okay, just rush to the front and fight yourself, that’s what suits you best."

Yila said this, which sounded like he was treating a "king" as a "general," but Satan Ye seemed reassured, putting her hands on her hips and responding, "Phew... that’s good. Let me go deal with those disobedient Magic Beasts!"

Hilena: "..."

Yila: "..."

But, have you ever thought that you might not be able to beat them?
