A Demon Lord's Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss Chapter 482.2

Chapter 482.2

With Enne in hand, I quickly moved out and headed for the Rogard Empire.

It was a ha.s.sle, but it was my territory, after all.

Even for the first time, a Ruler should act as a Ruler.

I still haven’t gotten used to it, nor did I have the slightest sense that I own a country… but nevertheless, that wouldn’t change the fact that I was the highest authority.

“What happened?”

I called out to the man standing by the door for me, someone that they might have a.s.signed to the position as guards that have been recently established in the Rogard Empire.

“Your Majesty! We have been waiting for you.”

The waiting soldier saluted me and quickly escorted me into the castle.

Soon after, I was led to a conference room-like area inside the Rogard Empire castle, where a stranger was waiting for me.

He was a young man, the word “fearless” would suit him.

Who was he? He saw the look on my face and bowed deeply before speaking, “Greetings, my name is Birla, lord of the Ascalad region of the Rogard Empire.”

“Yo, it is I, Demon Lord Yuki – no, that’s not it, should I call myself High Lord Yuki now. Well, it doesn’t really matter, and enough with the unnecessary greetings, just tell me straight out. What’s going on?”

I almost laughed at my own arrogant tone, but since I was told never to be humble as an emperor, I tried my best to ask him with a serious expression.

Even for the first time, dignity was necessary.

I almost felt like I was doing a skit and blowing off steam when I spoke in a way that required dignity.

I doubt I’d ever get used to it.

“Yes, there are certain ruins in our territory, and we have been excavating them since the time of the former emperor… It seems that we have provoked a nest, which was somehow connected to it. The bugs that have suddenly appeared have overrun our territory. Please help us.”

Ruins, huh?

It was quite tempting to think that this was fate at this point in time.

Birla’s words were supplemented by a man, probably a Demon Race official, who was standing next to him.

“Currently, we are dealing with them with soldiers from the Rogard Empire and soldiers from other countries stationed in the area…but there are so many of them, enough that they are pus.h.i.+ng the front line backward. At this rate, it may only be a matter of time before they spread throughout the entire Rogard Empire. We have already contacted the Kings of each country, but they are in no condition to send reinforcements to us immediately.”

Sounds like a real emergency.

I quickly checked the map function for the Rogard Empire.

I looked from one end to the other… there they were.

This was…

One area of the map was covered in red, a hostile reaction, and even now, as I looked at it, I noticed that it was slowly spreading.

I could have dealt with this earlier if it was in the Demon Forest, but I had not set up any traps in the Rogard Empire that would have alerted me of anything out of the ordinary.

This was half my fault, I guess.

“Okay, I’ll take care of it right away. Just give me a minute.”

With that, I quickly left the Rogard Empire to call Rir and the others from home.
