    On their journey towards the next kingdom, Haruki had everyone rest inside the minotaur dungeon replica to safeguard themselves from any unsuspecting nightly attacks.


    "How''s everything going here? Everyone settled yet?" Running into the goblin queen while on his way to the log cabin, Haruki decided to check on the state of things.


    Turning to her side, she looked over to the mix of monsters putting in the final touches to some of the buildings.


    "It''s better than we expected, that''s for sure, but…" Looking at Haruki from the edge of her eye, she continued. "With no monsters spawning in this ce, we''re going to be able to farm levels for you to drain out."


    Having alreadye up with a n for her worries, Haruki ced his hand over his shoulder as assurance.


    "I''ll create some chambers where you can breed feral monsters and farm them for levels," with that said, he moved past her to join the others who''d already headed to the log cabin.


    ''I hope you know what you''re doing.'' Although confident in Haruki''s ability to master, the queen of goblins felt an instinctual threat lingering over them. Despite that, cing her trust in her master, she began making her way back to theb to join Medusa who was already supposed to be there.


    On his way to the cabin. Haruki checked up on all the final touches being given to the replicated building and the fields that would soon be sowed with a new line of crops. While doing so, he also managed toe up with a sound n to get at least some information about Dominion and what he was capable of.


    "Nabe, has he been there in the past few days?" Haruki asked, talking to Nabe through a demonic spy.


    "Dominion…Well, he''s been here, but I have no clue what he and the emperor talked about," she replied in a curious tone.


    "If you see him at the emperor''s domain, I want you to report every step he takes to me," finally getting to the cabin, he severed his mental connection with the demonic spy in Nabe''s possession.


    Getting inside the ce, his closest aide turned to look at him directly. Moving closer to the bed, he settled down before taking a deep breath and then letting out a sigh. Looking around them all once more, he beganying out his n for their future.


    "Lamenia, we''re going to war against them," as those words left his mouth, everyone''s eyes frowned with confusion. "We have an army that has been sitting around for too long, and we need to make use of it by taking away the emperor\s support while also expanding our own numbers."


    ''I might be ying into Asmodia''s hand by expanding the army even more, but for now, we need a base of operation that has some sovereign power to halt the emperor''s assault.'' nning to establish an outed kingdom of demons and monsters, Haruki wanted to gain the support of more demons and even the demi-humans living inside feralnds.


    "But why Lamenia, isn''t it on high alert for demon hunts?" Moving forward, Margarette voiced her concern. <novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Peering up at her, dressed in nothing but a transparent nightgown, Haruki pulled her into hisp before continuing his exnation.


    "Lamenia has the sea connected on its eastern border which will also connect us with feralnds," wrapping his hands around her body, he feltforted by her warmth. "If we can offer the Feralnds an alliance from inside the empire-"


    "They would never deny something like it," jumping into the conversation, Athena finished Haruki''s thoughts.


    "It also apparently has more hidden monster viges like the elves and not to mention, the library of heroes is still supposed to be there," chiming in Riley brought yet another great point.


    "But what if the monsters don''t want to form an alliance with us?" Asked Fay, standing beside Asuka as she was entertaining Ste and her pet demonic spy.


    Having considered all kinds of possibilities, Haruki put up a warm smile before replying to her.


    "Those who agree to form an alliance will keep their individuality, and those who don''t will be turned into lust demons to forcepliance," even as he said that, Fay was just about to voice another concern, but knowing what it would be Haruki simply answered that as well. "We''ll turn them into demons in secrecy and then have them change appearance so the people who''ve willingly joined the alliance won''t get suspicious."


    Listening to how he''d nned everything in such a brief period of time, everyone was quite surprised by his meticulousness.


    "When are we going to do it though?" Alice asked.


    "As soon as our army gets here, I''ve called onto them, but how long it will take for them to be is something that we just have to wait and find out," with that, Haruki threw himself back on the bed with Margarette held tight in his arms. "For now, let''s recover our strength and try to find a way to stay steps ahead of the emperor."


    Since everyone was in agreement and there was ack of a better less convoluted n, none of them voiced any more concerns and simply epted Haruki''s n on how they''ll move forward.


    ''Multi-thought procession!'' Whileying on the bed with Margarette on top of him, Haruki used a newfound ability of his that allowed him to think twice as efficiently. Even as he pulled her face closer to his for a kiss, his mind was still thinking about ways to outsmart both Dominion and the emperor. ''Everyone''s trying to n the desperate game, but I can just get everything lined up properly for a prolonged battle then all of them will surely run out of resources, or else why would they be so hasteful in trying to put an end to everything?''


    Coiling his tongue around with hers, he could feel the gazes of many, and to soothe their hearts with a moment offort he pulled them towards him as well. That is except Asuka, who had to put Ste to sleep before joining in on the fun.
