Yukki subjugation Raid
A deration of alliance between Holy Empire Ruberius, Western Saint''s Church, and Tempest was
formalized on paper, and a deration of the same was sent to every country.
These kinds of formalities are normally truly tedious, but having the leaders calling the shots makes it
all much easier.
Hinata is also a representative of some sort... I mean, everyone recognizes her power. So with all the
signatures thus gathered, that matter was closed.
The alliance deres equality of its members.
The matter of trade restrictions we basically left it to the marketce: the merchants and countries will
just have to fight it out. In short, I won big on this contract.
Hinata and Ruminas are uninterested in matter ofmerce. So they agreed to leave it up to market
itself to figure the rules out as I had wanted; a free market would be beneficial for international trade.
(Trantor''s note: Do we have any economy majors who canment on Rimuru/author''s im that
removing trade restrictionspletely will be so beneficial?)
(Smoggy''s notes: Well, if there is no trade protectionism, Consumers will be better off due to arger
diversity of goods, and potential at higher and cheaper prices since firms will have topete even
harder in therger market in terms of quality and productivity. While infant firms will face problems,
be lowered due to the decrease in revenue originally generated from tax, but should enjoy the
beneficial GDP growth from the boosted economic activity. P.s. if they all use the same currency, no
need to worry about currency appreciation)
We might even create a self-sufficient system and enjoy a time of never-before-seen wealth.
Currently the top brass (me, myself, and I) live in luxury, but we can still improve the quality of life of the
lower ss citizens.
And in order to obtain the ingredients to aplish this I could hope for no better opportunity than
trade with the Holy Empire Ruberius. It''s one of thergest agricultural countries in this world, after all.
Oh, and Ruminas isn''t oppressing her citizens. On the contrary, she protects them most passionately.
To the point that they grow all the food they need as to not starve.
Which is why if we start trading and exchanging products we could turn stagnation into abundance.
And that''s how I''ll get to manipte the market all I want.
I''ll research the climate and introduce appropriate produce.
Perhaps Ruberius will manage potato while we''ll focus on cultivating rice.
As for the rest, I would imagine that on the technological front Tempest would dominate. Rare metal
and mineral trade is also likely to end up to our benefit.
I''m sure Myormiles-kun would be able to handle that question without any oversight.
The vastnds to the west,pared to those of the Eastern Empire are terribly infertile.
A battle between demon lords took ce there, and the magical energy released eroded the nutrients
in the soil.
But, if you think about it on the flip side, you could actually use thend to grow special products that
require such magical energy density.
And if we leave it as is, these sands are bound to swallow up Ruberius eventually. Ruminas seems to
be of the mindset that she''ll just up and leave for anothernd, but I can''t say I support her ns.
Isn''t it better to put thend she already has to its full use and seek true coexistence?
When I pointed this out and offered to send some agricultural specialists there,
We do not mind. Something so trifling we can leave fully to you
She replied as if she didn''t care.
I imagine her under-dwellers won''t ept my interference so readily, but the citizens above ground
don''t particrly mind.
So, I requested her to make a formal written request.
And thus Tempest gained an official way into human society.
But, she did insist on one condition.
I was to allow Vampire nobility to participate in the research conducted with the Dwarfs and Sarion.
From what she said, although the above-ground dwellers are rather ignorant, her underground citizens
are quite advanced.
After all, being targeted by angels is particrly annoying.
ordingly, we conduct the most important research underground.
We are biased, but tis true: among the demon lords we are the most educated
She said.
Even more than the elves, Vampires have extremely long lifespans.
Moreover, particrly high vampires don''t even need to suck blood but directly consume human life
energy.
And with so much time on their hands the Vampires can''t help but spend it doing and researching what
they enjoy the most.
So, I''m pretty certain that even if they participate in our research, it will be mostly on a whim.
Few of them, those called Nobles, can stand sunlight, these Nobles will be able to continue their
research in just about any facility.
Thus, it seems I will be able to allow those Nobles to participate without any problems.
Well, considering the horse that Ruminas rode to get here, I can attest to their technological skill. I think
this will be beneficial to both parties.
As both of us were satisfied with these terms, we exchanged promises on this matter.
As for the Western Saint''s Church,
Obviously their creed is the main problem.
For now, notices were sent out to all those currently outside of the capital notifying them that I was by
no means a dangerous existence.
It''s actually kind of surprising how much money and power this organization has. It''s a big deal to get
their backing.
Currently there are rumors going around that Tempest had fought with their knights. However, thanks to
us utilizing enough funds to appear appealing to them, we were able to prevent total copse of
diplomacy.
The fact that we hadn''t killed a single knight also helps.
So instead we manipted the rumors to be thus: we didn''t fight the knights; they came over, we
talked, they realized we weren''t a danger, and left content.
In short, we changed their background from invaders to ambassadors.
Those few who know the truth must be scratching their heads right now.
I got it, I got it!
You actually want me to go around spreading such rumors, don''t you?!
Fuse eximed, quite distraught.
Thank goodness he understands quickly.
But seriously, Fuse just has the perfect timing. I don''t even need to call him he''ll appear when and
where I need him just in time.
Maybe I should treat him to a meal.
Can I ask you to do this? I would be very grateful
Hinata looked at Fuse and added.
O-of course! Please leave it to me; I will carry out your request with haste.
I will show you that you were not mistaken in cing your trust in me; you were definitely correct in
trusting me!
With a bright red face, passionately grabbing his chest, Fuse replied.
So... why was he being so redundant? Is it so important that he had to say the same thing twice?
I''m pretty sure anyone would have understood his response.
I bet he has already fallen for her. Well, his target is so high it''s unattainable.
Thanks; I''ll leave it to you
Fuse was raring to go after hearing her response.
What a simple guy. I guess I don''t need to treat him to a meal now.
Well, in short, that''s how we established this alliance; figuring out the minor details I left to Rigurdo and
Myormiles.
It''ll be easy to expand militarily now, so this is grand progress.
The problem before us, however, is how we should deal with the Freedom Association.
No, let me be clear: how should we conduct this Yuuki subjugation raid.
Now then, we can leave the matter of the alliance at that.
The problem before us, is how we should deal with the Freedom Association
Right; considering that almost every country has a Freedom Association branch, the question is how
far does the Headquarters'' influence span?
With regards to that, allow me to exin
Fuse said and began his exnation.
Every country''s, big or small, rtion to the Freedom Association''s headquarters. Though we more or
less understood from his previous brief exnation, I decided to have him go into more details.
ording to him, there are observers in every guild makingmunication between Central and the
branch easy.
Of course, these observers also make carry out Yuuki''s will. As for others potentially controlled, based
on personal experiences andck of any other person working in the branches for Central, there ought
to be a few.
In the end, we believe that he can only use mind control if he directly meets a person
Fuse concluded.
Thought guidance, the simpler skill, merely obstructs some thought patterns or suggests others. It''s a
skill that is slightly superior to that of a swindler.
As such, we could protect against further dissemination should we have an opportunity to study the
skill... but considering that people will always be swindled, we really can''t protect ourselves against it
with absolute certainty.
In other words, we really can''t solve this problem right now. So let''s get back to itter.
The problematic skill: mind control, requires an implementation of a "Curse Crystal" into its target.
The "Curse Crystal," in turn, binds the target on its very soul. I wonder though: could a person thus
bound then infect others?
Impossible. I who was simrly controlled can testify to that extent.
His power is by no means omnipotent.
Were it so, all the temrs would have long been his servants
Hinata refuted that hypothesis.
Fuse was surprised at the sudden revtion, but said nothing and instead took out some files.
Now then, this is the list of every official who has met with Yuuki.
Please do not forget that, as in my case, direct meetings with Yuuki do not guarantee brainwashing
The file mentioned just that.
True: Fuse had met with Yuuki, but was not brainwashed.
Was he ignored because his country is small? No, there''s probably some limit to mind control.
Moreover, back then he was struggling to control Hinata, whereas he must now control the mighty
Chloe. And he can''t even manage thatpletely.
If so... isn''t his power rather pathetic?
aSolution. That hypothesis is presumed correct.
Due to expanding his power to control the hero, he most likelycks ability to dominate another
person ?
Actually, now that I think about it, Masayuki had this bug on him. A bug so pitiful I unconsciously
squashed it.
It got on him before he started his heroic travels. So I''m pretty sure it''s no big deal.
Besides, Raphael is never wrong.
Alright, I get it. We can probably not worry about his mind control for now.
As for those who honestly adore Yuuki... we can''t dispel that adoration.
And while we can go around cleaning up branch by branch...
How about we just go and take out Central in a single swoop?
Let''s put association branches aside for now.
Decide central, and Yuuki while we are at it.
Even if there''s a hero, we have Ruminas and I. While I upy Chloe, she''ll murder Yuuki.
Hinata can hold off Kagali (Kazalim) for a bit.
Three is plenty. Or so I thought,
Wait, I can''t fight as I had before.
Not even equip spirit armor; and though I could elerate my thoughts, my spirit strength is yet
Truly high speedbat I could only maintain for a few seconds.
Unfortunately, I don''t have the strength of a hero any longer
Hinata confessed ashamed.
As I had feared: her presence felt smaller because it actually was smaller.
But it''s best we strike sooner rather thanter. A big part of that is a desire to save Chloe... but I also
just hate the idea of letting Yuuki continue for much longer.
Most of my problems until now can be attributed to him.
Even with Hinata out of the picture, we have enough strength to crush Central.
We too support crushing Central.
But why should we not handle the branches simultaneously?
With my servants, your men, and the temrs should we not just crush it all?
What an extreme thing Ruminas says!
I had considered it, but then we won''t be able to avoid chaos...
But Ruminas'' subordinates present an excellent opportunity. Maybe we should just go with it.
Actually, create chaos? Who cares!
And thus, we again reconsidered our batle n.
.........
......
...
Our consideration concluded when we had decided squad formation.
First, Central was given to Hinata.
She would rte information from every squad.
Next, Apprehension Corps: those who would confirm and secure any suspicious targets at the
branches.
That would be handled by Fuse''s men"the guides, and Souei''s group. We also included seven of
Ruminas'' nobles in that corps.
We''ll ignore the tiny nations and focus on securing the observers in therger countries.
And, most importantly, Central Raid Party.
Of course Ruminas and I lead it. Diablo and Shion wille along. Benimaru and Gerudo will stay to
protect Tempest.
Ruminas will be apanied by the Seven Celestial Sages.
We''ll have Veldora in the skies to destroy the barrier protecting Ingracia and erect a barrier preventing
their escape.
We''ll invade once our barrieres up.
Moreover, we have Gabil, Hakurou, and Gobuta in the reserve troops.
Ranga''s also raring to go within my shadow.
No matter how strong Yuuki is, all we need to do is pin Chloe down for a minute"just enough to bring
him down.
And our war strength is great. Defeat here would mean that we would have to wage total war.
Ku fufufufu. A real war after so long! I am trembling in excitement!
Ufufufufu. Diablo, I ain''t letting you hog all the fun
Diablo''s and Shion''s conversation is rather scary.
These two should be more than enough to handle Kagali.
Ruminas has dered that Yuuki is her prey alone, but Shion and Diablo will join in to help after they
defeat Kagali.
I will fight Chloe.
I don''t want to hurt her, but her actual strength is unknown. Underestimating her could lead to my
defeat.
ording to Ruminas,
Though we don''t want to admit it, she is probably stronger than We.
If you let your guard down, even you could perish
She said.
Though I can''t help wondering just how strong she is, all present are certain that with some tactics I
could keep her upied long enough.
Besides, killing Yuuki solves all the problems.
I would have wanted to talk to him briefly before killing him, but sadly we don''t have the time to chat.
In order to save Chloe we need to kill him real quick.
If Chloe is stronger than I expect, I''ll have Veldora and Ranga join.
I won''t let my guard down.
And we''ll ughter Yuuki and save Chloe
Having thus decided on our battle n, we swiftly moved to implement it.
And, after so heroically constructing a n...
It failed.
No, the entire n did not fail; Yuuki simply had fled from Central.
By the time Veldora set up a barrier and we had invaded, Yuuki was long gone.
Surprisingly, he abandoned Freedom Association headquarters and fled.
A position of power he spent 10 years creating he abandoned without a second thought.
It just shows how capable of an enemy he is. Since the point was to prevent any of his further
maniption,this n was a failure.

Of course, we could not save Chloe either.
But it was not a total waste. Though even the observers had fled by then, we made sure no royalty or
ruler was under his thought maniption.
Those who were we rescued.
And thanks to Temr presence, we could quickly pin all evils and crimes on Yuuki.
As a result we were able to quickly contain chaos and return every nation''s guild to working order.
Thus, although the n failed, wepletely eliminated Yuuki''s dominion.
Furthermore, we were able toy foundation for Tempest embassies in more countries.
That is: we cleared the infected regions and strengthened ties with them.
And, the Western Saint''s Church very conveniently filled all the vacancies in the Freedom Association
with our people.
Though it wasn''t what we nned for, we didn''t lose anything either.
Other than letting Yuuki escape, we actually did pretty well.
For the time being, Ingracia Kingdom and other Council nations may be slightly chaotic.
But, as things settle down and Yuuki''s crimes are revealed to the public, more and more nations rise in
anger against him.
That I mustpletely attribute to the power of faith in the Western Saint''s Church.
We have also been officially recognized; though not as a Council nation member, but certainly we''ve
been epted.
In other words, we now negotiate with many more countries than we did before.
Since we aim to coexist with humans, this is big step forward for us.
In the future, when we fight the Eastern Empire and Yuuki the nations surrounding Jura forest will
probably be involved as well. So, I want to seal some military alliances with them.
Though we let Yuuki escape, we improved our ability to oppose the Eastern Empire.
Eastern Empire advances by forcing other countries to assimte; there''s a need to oppose that force.
To that end, other countries won''t be able to ignore Tempest.
Thanks to this incident, these countries are bound to use newly developed diplomatic ties to create a
mighty military union.
Wealth, Technology, and Power.
Tempest is fated to rise to be the epitome of these; but that''s a story forter.
For now, I only grieve that our Yuuki Subjugation Raid failed.
