Episode 211
Cidriel was so busy that he couldn’t even sleep.
The time given is only three days.
It is a short time to visit the delegates scattered throughout the land of the Demon Tribe.
The only good thing is that Ozges actively helped.
As the chairman, he knew where each member was, and he and Sidriel used teleportation magic to search for them.
“What brings you here to me?”
It all started with the orc chieftain Matouk.
He was the leader of the Orcs, the core force of the Demon King’s army.
“Please support me at the conference that will be held in a few days.”
Matuk shook his head at Sidriel’s request.
“I, Matuk, only follow the stronger one.”
Although Sidriel tried his best to persuade him, Matuk was unwavering.
“There is no time.”
“Whew, I see.”
Eventually, Cidriel had no choice but to give up and go find another councilor.
“Kreuk! This is fun.”
The next person we met was Goblin Master Lerlock.
Although he did not possess much military power, he was a demon who was respected and followed by all goblins.
Goblins are a huge species, making up 30% of all demons.
The influence of Lerlock, who controlled them all, was certainly not small.
“Kreuk! What can you do for me and our goblin?”
“What do you want?”
“I want the permanent position of Legion Commander.”
“That’s impossible.”
Cidriel shook his head.
In fact, there is no problem with appointing Lerlock as a legion commander.
Because the appointment of the legion commander was solely within the authority of the Demon King.
However, in the Demon King’s army, strength is absolute.
Goblin Master Lerlock only had the military power of a division commander.
Even if you give him the position of commander, it will be taken away in no time.
‘That’s why I said I wanted a permanent position…’
If such special privileges were given, it would be obvious that the other demon tribes would rise up in revolt.
“I’m sorry. I can’t make false promises.”
“i get it.”
The delegates I met after that were in a similar situation.
“We refuse. We have already promised to support Doritos.”
The three most powerful nobles
droughty.
They said they would be with the Dorritugs.
“Let’s decide at the meeting.”
The leader of the dark elves, Kekna Cresus, also did not give a definitive answer.
“Hmm, it certainly does look classy.”
Only the vampire lord, Rehsiska, showed any interest.
“The final decision will be made in the conference room, but let’s think positively.”
“thanks.”
Three days have passed since we last talked about this.
Late at night.
Cidriel returned to her residence with a regretful expression on her face.
“In the end, I didn’t even get to meet Masu Nubimogreul.” “He never comes out. I doubt he’ll even show up at the conference hall, but even if he does, I’ll definitely vote against it.”
“I see.”
The meeting is at noon tomorrow.
Cidriel did everything he could to the best of his ability.
All that remained was to leave it to fate.
***
The next day at noon.
A conference was held at the 4th Army Corps headquarters in Breed Bozra.
Originally, it was supposed to take place in the Demon King’s Castle, but with the Demon King dead and the Holy War’s army occupying the Castle, the location had to be moved.
“Sit down with a weakling like a goblin. It’s disgusting.” “Krrr! The stench of stupid orcs is wafting all the way here.” “You! Shut up if you don’t want your rotten spine ripped out!”
Before the meeting even started.
The Orc Chieftain Matouk and the Goblin Master Lerlok engaged in a war of nerves.
Vampire Lord Rehsiska sighed as he watched the two talking and spitting.
“I have to be treated like those inferiors. Every time I come to the meeting, I regret not having gone to sleep sooner.” “What did you say, woman? Orcs are not inferior!” “A mere minority
“How dare you ignore the goblins, who are in such dire straits!” “Wow, are you bragging about wasting food in vain?”
As even Rehsiska joined the fray, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
If things continued this way, the meeting might be canceled before it even started.
‘Whew, I’m already dizzy.’
Finally, at that moment, Chairman Ozges was about to step in to mediate.

“Sidriel, please come in.”
Everyone fell silent at the sound of the announcement.
Kukukukukuku-!
A door made of huge stone opens.
Soon, a small-sized demon entered the conference room.
Both the delegates and the legion commander stared at Cidriel.
Some even sent out overtly aggressive magic.
“…”
Sidriel took the energy without a care and went to sit down in his seat.
‘Is that Tegrad’s daughter?’
Doritugs, who was seeing Cidriel for the first time, looked at her with interest.
For a moment, his eyes meet with Cidreel’s.
“…”
The two look at each other without saying a word.
A strange tension flowed through the conference room.
“Ahem, all the voters are here.”
Ozges said.
I thought it would be better to proceed with the meeting quickly rather than leaving it like this.
“Nubimogrel hasn’t come yet.” “Nubimogrel said he would cast a vote of abstention.”
“I see.”
Masu Nubimogrell.
He abstained as Ozges had expected.
This brings the total number of meeting attendees to eleven.
There are three legion commanders and eight delegates.
Since Ozges was both a legion commander and a delegate, he could vote in multiple elections, making the total number of votes twelve.
“We will now begin voting to elect the next Demon King.”
Silence fell upon Ozges’ words.
Everyone looked at Ozges and waited for his next words.
“First, let me briefly introduce the two demons and then listen to their stories. The first candidate is Tegrad’s daughter, Sidriel.”
Cidriel stood up from his seat.
“It’s Sidriel. The position of Demon King is rightfully mine. It is right for me to become Demon King for the sake of the future of the Demon Tribe. I will trust your wise judgment.”
After a brief introduction, Cidriel sat down.
Ozges introduced the next candidate.
“Next is the 1st Corps Commander, Dorritugs.”
Dorritugs did not get up from his seat.
He looked around at the voters with an arrogant expression.
“Is there a demon stronger than me in this place?”
Rudeness that comes out without warning.
However, it was a question that struck at the heart of the conference.
“Then there’s no need to say anything more. The Demon King has to become strong.”
“…”
“I believe that there is no fool in this place who would entrust his future to a young and ignorant demon.”
That was the end of the story of Doritugs.
Ozges continued the meeting.
“We will now begin voting. Please freely exercise your voting rights.”
As soon as Ozges finished speaking, Dorritugs raised his hand.
“I’ll start with me.”
“First Corps Commander. Speak.” “I myself. I recommend Dorritugs.”
Ozges nodded.
“One vote for Doritugs.”
Then, three demons raised their hands one after another.
“Let me also pick Doritugs.”
“Doritugs.”
“It’s the same.”
All nobles support Doritugs
They were families.
This brings Doritos’ total to four votes.
‘So far, it was expected.’
Ozges nodded.
I had a gut feeling that it was time to change the flow.
He raised his hand.
“As the commander of the 4th Legion, the head of the Cowden Clan, and a representative, I will support you, Lady Sidriel.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cidriel also raised her hand.
“I, Sidriel, will also support myself.”
With this, Cidriel also took three votes.
So far, the voting results are 4 to 3, with 7 out of 12 votes, leaving 5 votes remaining.
They were the Dark Elf Chieftain, the Goblin Master, the Orc Chieftain, the Vampire Lord, and the Commander of the Fourth Legion respectively.
At that moment, Kekna Cresus, the leader of the dark elves, raised his hand.
“The dark elves want Doritugs.” “The goblins also support Doritugs.”
In an instant, two more votes were added to Doritugs.
Cidriel’s expression gradually became more and more anxious.
“I’ll pick that girl. She looks classier than Dorritugs.”
Vampire Lord Lechsiska said.
This makes it 6 to 4.
All that remains are the Orc Chieftain Matouk and the Fourth Legion Commander Onyx.
Dorritugs smiled in triumph.
‘It’s over.’
If both of them support Cidreel here, it’s a tie.
But that won’t happen.
Because all the story has already been told in advance.
“I, the Orc Chieftain Matouk….”
The moment the Orc Chieftain was about to speak.
Kuung-!
“Commander of the Third Corps, Hemis, is entering.”
The door opened and an announcement was heard.
“Oh my, am I a little late?”
The delegates gasped when they saw her.
“Hemis. Was he alive…?” “I heard he died.”
The delegates who were still unaware of Hemis’ survival could not help but be surprised.
Dorritugs looked at her calmly.
“I thought you said you wouldn’t come.” “Come to think of it, I’m also the commander of the Third Corps recognized by the Demon King. It seems good to exercise my legitimate rights. There won’t be any problems, right?”
Ozges nodded at Hemis’ question.
“Yes. There is no rule that says you can’t participate during a meeting.” “Okay. Then I will support Cidriel.”
At that moment, Doritoogs got up from his seat without realizing it.
“Hemis! What are you doing!? Isn’t that different from what you said back then!”
The corners of Hemis’ mouth went up.
“Oh, I said I would help elect the next Demon King. Didn’t I say it was you?”
Despite his mischievous smile, Dorritugs couldn’t do anything.
A situation where Hemis has already exercised his voting rights.
It is impossible to change midway.
“Let’s see…”
Hemis sat down and crossed her legs.
She glanced at the delegates with a strange smile.
“I trust that my remaining friends will make a wise decision. Do you know what I mean?”
It was a clear threat, a blackmail.
But everyone just kept their mouths shut and did not step forward.
Rather, Goblin Master Lerlock, who had already voted for Dorritugs, even showed signs of restlessness.
“Hey, can you change it?”
“It’s impossible.”
“Ugh…”
Lerlock is in pain, wrapping his head.
The meeting continued on, ignoring him.
“Okay, so who’s next?”
At her words, the orc chieftain Matouk gulped.
“I, Matuk… .”
Just as Matuk was about to speak.
Suddenly, Hemis opened his mouth.
“Ah~ I feel so weak these days, so I want to eat meat.”
“…”
“I want to eat some plump meat.”
Hemis speaks while looking at Matuk with a secret gaze.
Don’t forget to lick your lips with your tongue.
Cold sweat poured down the back of Orc Chieftain Matouk.
“What are you doing? I was just talking to myself. Keep going.” “I, Matuk… will support Sidriel.”
Hemis chuckled.
Dorritugs jumped to his feet.
“This is ridiculous! Isn’t this a clear threat?” “Oh, you’re not supposed to threaten? I don’t remember there being a rule like that in the convention?”
Ozges nodded.
“you’re right.”
This is the competition held by the Demon Tribe.
In the process, there are persuasions, threats, secret agreements, etc.
It was freedom to use any method.
Dorritugs also knew this fact, but he couldn’t help but be flustered because it was the first time that someone had actually threatened to take the votes.
“Tch…”
Dorritugs calmed down and sat down.
‘So that’s exactly half?’
The table so far is 6 to 6.
The only remaining sign is Onyx, the commander of the 4th Army Corps.
‘Onyx. I trust you won’t change your words now.’
Onyx has already decided to work with Doritos.
One thing that is unsettling is that he already has a history of betraying the Demon King.
There was a possibility that he would go over to the other side after seeing Hemis, who had shown up again due to his nature of clinging to the strong.
“I am Onyx, the commander of the 4th Army Corps. I…”
At that moment, Onyx raised his hand and spoke.
“You can’t come in.” “f*ck. What are you talking about?”
A commotion was heard outside the conference room.
“Block them all!”
“Get out of the way, you little scumbags!” Bam! Bam!
The noise is getting louder.
At that time, everyone was looking puzzled, not knowing what was going on.
Doritugs noticed something and jumped up.
“Onyx! Speak quickly! Who will you support…!” Kwaaang-!
The conference room door exploded with a loud noise.
A group of people entered the conference room.
They were people who didn’t belong here.
“Oh, fortunately it’s not over yet.”
Park Hyun-ah, an unexpected guest, smiled and waved her hand.
“The real 4th Corps Commander has appeared, you rascals.”
