Chapter 39 - Volume 4 Chapter 1 (2/2)

With the exception of the demons, she’s planning to destroy all of the races in this world.

So she made thorough plans in complete plundering Bivnaheim of all its graces, by a storm.

And the next, she will invade the neighboring countries.

Those in between Lachmaheim and Bivnaheim

She will advance her troops to another human country, Norcheim.

“Over there, unlike the others, their army is strong. We have to be cautious”

Norcheim first received the demonic invasion of the previous war.

As a result the country was completely destroyed.

With this, their grudge with the demons are exceptionally strong.

Unlike Bivnaheim, they are always in full alert.

Challenging them from the front will clearly result in heavy casualties, even though they are demons.

Plus, the difficulty will be even higher if they cooped themselves in their sturdy castles.

The reason for this is because demons have no siege weapons.

“But we excel in overwhelming physical ability, mobility and, and hand-o-hand combat, so we have to make good use of this”

Once Bivnaheim is destroyed, we’ll decide to encircle Norcheim.

If we crush their neighboring country first, the morale of the human soldiers will plummet.

“Even if their castle is tough, it will be pregnable if those the soldiers’ morale became weak”

That was Beatrice’s strategy.

“Once we destroy the Human Countries, the fairies and the elves will be next”

Both are countries with smaller population than humans.

Even if it is the same number, the demons, with their higher battle potentials still has the upper hand.

The key to this war was how quickly we could crush the humans’ main forces.

“Now then, let’s work out the details right away”

She then took out a map.

They then decided the route to send troops where Norcheim would not know.

At that time, there was a knock on the door.

“Demon Queen-sama, can I come in?”

“Yes, you may enter”

Beatrice stopped what she was doing, then greeted with a corresponding demeanor befitting a demon queen.

What came in was a man who has an intelligent look for a demon.

The guy is a staff officer under her.

“And what is your purpose? Speak briefly”

“Actually, we have acquired information about suspicious movements about some elves”

“Some elves, you say?”

Beatrice frowned at the unexpected information.

In her plans, elves should begin to move after Bivnaheim is destroyed.

“Yes. Apparently the prince of their country has been visiting one country after another, and seems that they are trying to form an alliance like the previous war”

“What did you say!? Kuh, those annoying elves……”

Beatrice’s gaze became filled with power, and the space around her shook.

Powerful magic is acting in the area with just her rise of emotions.

The staff officer still continued his report, despite sweating heavily on that pressure.

“It seems that they are exchanging branches of the King Trees in each country as testimony of their alliance”

“the King Trees? Just what are they thinking……”

Beatrice spat out in indignation.

Like other countries, Lachmaheim has also their own King Tree.

However, it has been in a quite awful state, as it hasn’t been maintained for many years.

For demons, the King Tree is no different from an ordinary tree.

“However, it’s not good if they became united once again”

“Yes, and there is a possibility of it interfering with Your Majesty’s plan”

“Then, first of all, collect further details about this”

“As you command, Your Majesty!”

The demon staff then politely bowed and exit the room.

After that, she went to her desk once again.

“Haa!”

She raised her fist, then punched it with excessive force.

The blow from her delicate arm smashed the thick but luxurious desk in one blow.

After her anger finally subsided, she settled to her seat once again.

“You bastard, will you stand up before me once again……?”

Beatrice grimaced, grasping her hand strongly.

And thus, the demon queen began to move to stop the alliance.
