The reason that Corps Commander Nehyor brought the power relationships upâŠ
It wasnât that he wanted me to understand, it was to get me to change my mind.
Still, I had no intention of doing that.
âWere you listening to me? If my prediction is right, Fara will conquer the surrounding lands and become a Demon King. And Fara will never forgive those Reapers. And yet, you still want to take them in?â
âYes. Is there a problem?â
âHehe. Interesting, Golan. You understand everything. And yet you want to continue?â
âPerhaps itâs just a coincidence, but I donât really care. They came to me for help.â
âAnd thatâs enough to defy me? You said it yourself. You canât beat me.â
âYes. Not as I am now.â\n
I wondered how big the difference was between us.
To put it simply, I thought he was about five times stronger.
I couldnât win. Most couldnât.
âPerhaps you have plans to evolve in the near future? Are you going to be a High Ogre?â
âNot at all. I have never even thought of it.â
Indeed. If I were to evolve, my mana would jump up several times over.
In such a condition, perhaps I would have a chance.
âHey, Golan. Let me ask you one more time. All of the surrounding Lesser Demon Kings are afraid of Fara and will not take in those Reapers. This country is the same. I am against it. In other words, if you continue on this road, you are choosing to make an enemy of meâŠâ
âI have no intention of becoming your enemy.â \nâStill. The result will be the same.â
âThen⊠In that caseâŠâ
Letâs be enemies then.
Thatâs what I said.
â Corpse Commander Nehyor
Golanâs sudden visit was most surprising.
As the battle was done, he should have been enjoying his new hero status in the village.
After all, he had won his position through Gekokujyo. The people should be overjoyed by that.
And yet, here he was.
\nâHey, do you know how the state of things are recently?â
The Reapers should have been hiding in Lesser Demon King Rumahamâs lands.
Golan didnât know it, but when Fara and Rumahamâs countries were fighting, it was the Reapers who launched the main attack.
I had heard that it was very aggressive.
After all, the Reapers had nowhere else to go. It was no wonder.
The Reapers were strong when alone and strong in a group.
So they would give you a great advantage if they joined you. They had that one-hit kill attack, which was well-known.
Of course, most people thought of it as a dishonorable attack that killed a Demon King.
It was said that if you had Reapers as your subordinates, you would never know when they would betray you and come for your headâŠ
