Chapter 16: The Sorcerous Kingdom’s Provocation, Declaration of War (Ch 824043690)

The Imperial Capital Guard handled what happened in the aristocratic area very quickly.
A large number of security team members surrounded the area. Seeing the devastation in the manor, everyone felt their scalps tingling. The houses and gardens were all destroyed, as if a local war had taken place.
“Who are you?”
The members of the security team looked alert and raised their guns, with countless black muzzles pointed at Toru Kanhara, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Gyoumei Beimei and others.
Kanhara Tetsuya frowned.
At this time, many soldiers made way for a path, and a fat man in luxurious clothes trotted in. His fat body rolled like a meatball, which was very funny.
“Put your guns down, everyone!”
The fat man shouted nervously to the security team members around him and came in front of Tetsuya Kanhara.
Kanbara Tetsuya said: “Lord Jarl.”
The fat man looked surprised, “Lord Kanhara remembers me?”
Kanhara Tetsuya smiled brightly, “I’ve seen it in the court. My memory is not that bad.”
Jargan laughed twice and felt honored to be remembered by such a strong man.
Then, Jia Er’s eyes were cold and he said carefully, “Lord Kanhara, I’m very sorry, the people below are ignorant, I will deal with them!”
These idiots actually pointed guns at their immediate superior, making Jarl so angry that he vomited blood. They felt that he was not dying fast enough, right? Putting aside their identities, not everyone could offend Toru Kanhara’s terrifying strength.
“fine.”
Kanhara Tetsuya smiled and said, “This is my first day in office, so it’s understandable that I don’t know.”
Jarl wiped a cold sweat and said, “You know you have just taken office, but you caused such a big trouble in the noble area on the first day. If I didn’t know, I would think you were a Night Raid!”
“Since Lord Kanhara said so, then forget it.” Jarl glanced at the guards around him and said, “Idiots, remember Lord Kanhara’s kindness!”
“yes!”
Listening to the conversation between the two, the surrounding security team members finally realized something and turned pale with fright.
What stupid thing had they done?
The members of the security team regretted their decision to the core.
As expected, the young man was the legendary new commander-in-chief of the Imperial Capital’s military. If he were someone with a bad temper, he would probably have dealt with them all.
The members of the security team secretly looked at their new boss with curiosity. He seemed easy to get along with, but when they saw the destroyed manor, this terrifying power made them both respect and fear it.
Kanhara Tetsuya responded with a friendly smile.
The area within the imperial palace is the territory of General Bud. Apart from that, he is the nominal leader of all the troops in the imperial capital, commanding hundreds of thousands of people.
But only Toru Kanhara knows that this power is not as great as it seems.
In fact, the only elite troops in the entire empire were the personal guards who protected the little emperor. In the original time and space, even Chi Tong was put in a tough battle.
The rest are just a bunch of minnows.
But for him, it is enough for these people to handle some small matters. You can’t expect them to flatten the Sorcerous Kingdom, the Hidden Mist Village, and the Pirate Group.
At the suggestion of Tetsuya Kanhara, Regbos, who committed numerous crimes, was dealt with severely and quickly.
The entire family, including the guards, were sentenced to life imprisonment. Others wailed constantly, but Regbos himself was very happy. Compared to the room of the Terror Prince, being in prison was simply a paradise-like treatment.
Regbos didn’t even think that he could survive. Those murderous swordsmen wanted to cut him into pieces. It was all thanks to Toru Kanhara that he survived.
Demiurge, who was beaten half to death, was handed over to Yoriichi Tsugikoku by Toru Kanhara.
Even if Yoriichi Tsugikoshi, who holds an A++-level treasure, were to be able to barely squeeze into T1 in this world, he would be enough to take care of Demiurge. The key is to cut him a few times every day to keep Demiurge in a seriously injured state at all times.
Otherwise, if Demiurge commits suicide and is resurrected in the Sorcerous Kingdom, everything will be in vain.
…
A few days later, Ubuyashiki Kōya arrived with the third batch of Demon Slayer Corps members. Compared to the pillars with powerful combat power, this time he brought more logistical personnel.
The medical department, Chouya, was established with Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho as its core.
Gather intelligence, handle aftermath, and cultivate a hidden organization of crows.
The training grounds of the pillars, etc.
“Mr. Tetsuya, Mr. Yoriichi.”
“Brother, this is another world, it’s amazing!”
“I have conquered the mountains of the island nation. This time I will move towards the goal of becoming the king of the mountains in another world!”
Tanjiro, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke shouted excitedly, their reactions were even more intense than those of the Pillars.
“Sister Kanae, teacher.”
Kanao Kurikaruri also came to this world and greeted Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho.
The three of them each had their own opinion, which was very interesting.
“Kanao is so cute.”
Kanae Kocho holds Kanao Kurika, the two beauties, big and small, form a pleasing picture.
After learning about the current situation, Ubuyashiki Yoya was filled with emotion, “I didn’t expect that you would get everything done in just a few days. It seems that I was worrying about nothing.”
He also thought that Toru Kanhara and others were in a very difficult situation in the other world. They were working on the transfer almost non-stop and had no rest for several days.
The most critical issue is funding.
The members of the Demon Slayer Corps have no business experience and they hone their skills just to kill evil spirits.
Even if one has great power, it is not an easy thing to make money quickly in another world, and the pillars are unlikely to commit evil deeds such as robbery.
Ubuyashiki Yoya specially brought several hundred kilograms of gold, which is real hard currency that can be circulated in the other world. As a result, Kanhara Toru also managed everything.
“A surviving noble felt ashamed of his evil deeds and ‘voluntarily’ donated all his property to the imperial army in order to better defend his country. What a wonderful thing.” said Tetsuya Kanhara.
Donate it to the Imperial Capital Army, and he is the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Capital Army, so it is equivalent to giving it to him in disguise.
Even Toru Kanhara was amazed when he got the property of Regbos. It turned out that his understanding of the “noble” species was still too shallow.
In addition to a huge amount of cash, Regbos also has countless assets under his name, which together make him rich enough to rival a country.
Of course, these riches were accumulated by several generations of the Regobos family, and now they belong entirely to Tetsuya Kanhara.
Toru Kanhara put special emphasis on the word “voluntary”. Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head and smiled. He heard about this matter. The pillars were very dissatisfied and complained to him that Toru Kanhara actually let such a scum survive.
But he could understand Tetsuya Kanhara.
If he is just an ordinary person, he can kill the other person at any time. The question is how much he can squeeze out of him.
“Toruya.”
There was a flash of shock in Ubuyashiki Yoya’s eyes, “I already know what you want to do in this world.”
Toru Kanhara was not surprised by this. After all, he was the one who dared to join him in plotting against Muzan Kibutsuji.
“I will assist you with all my strength. This is the only way to save the world!” Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said firmly.
Kanhara Tetsuya asked: “What are you going to do?”
“It seems that this world pays little attention to public opinion. I want to start from this aspect.” Ubuyashiki Yoshiya smiled. He used the huge funds he brought to establish a newspaper.
It’s called “Demon Slayer”!
When Toru Kanhara saw the smile on the other’s face, he knew that the other party was serious about it. After realizing the situation of the empire, Ubuyashiki Yoya was also furious.
The prototype of a huge force was established by him and Ubuyashiki Yoshiya.
He and the pillars, who possess powerful military force, appeared in the open, attracting everyone’s attention.
The Demon Slayer Corps’ hidden organization investigates and transmits information
Ubuyashiki Yoya’s newspaper manipulates public opinion.
These three are not connected to each other, and no one can tell that they are in the same group, but once they attack together, they will unleash unimaginable power.
Toru Kanhara cannot interfere with the affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps and the newspaper. He also has to try his best to avoid any relationship with both of them. A sword unsheathed is the sharpest.
And something happened that came up and left Toru Kanhara no time to take care of other things.
The Royal Palace, Ernest’s palace.
The court meetings in the Great Hall were just a formality; all decisions, big and small, of the empire were made in this room.
There were not many people in the room at this time, including Ministers Ernest, Esdeath, Bud, and Tetsuya Kanhara, the four most powerful people in the entire empire.
In response to this, Ernest remained calm, and Esdeath didn’t care at all. However, when Bud saw Tetsuya Kanhara, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Toru Kanhara took down the army in the imperial capital in a very short time. His skills were quite terrifying.
But Bud had to praise him, “You did a good job.”
“General, you are too kind.”
Toru Kanhara said modestly that after taking over the Imperial Capital Army, he discovered how serious the army’s wage arrears problem was. A large number of soldiers had not received their wages for half a year, which was simply unbelievable in this era.
In any other dynasty, these soldiers would have risen up in rebellion long ago, but this world has the magical power of imperial weapons, and some strong men can defeat ten thousand enemies alone.
This is true for both Esdeath and Bud.
For soldiers to revolt is to seek death.
It just so happened that he confiscated the property of a wealthy nobleman and paid the owed military wages. The soldiers were so grateful that they shed tears. It was almost an inevitable result that the people were in favor of him.
That’s why Bud is so satisfied.
Toru Kanhara did something he couldn’t do. According to his ancestors’ teachings, Bud couldn’t attack civil servants.
“You did a good job, but trouble is coming!”
Ernest casually threw a piece of exquisite parchment on the table. “This is a letter from the Magic Kingdom.”
Hearing this, Tetsuya Kanhara, Esdeath and Bud focused their eyes on the parchment scroll on the table.
Bud had the most seniority and was the first to pick up the scroll, scanning the contents at a glance.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Afterwards, Kanhara Toru also saw Bud’s eyebrows raised, his eyes as angry as lightning, and he activated the armor imperial tool. Fine electric currents emerged from his body surface, making crackling sounds.
“Asshole!”
A furious sound came out of Bud’s mouth, and he looked as terrifying as a lion.
Esdeath took the scroll and quickly read the contents. A crazy smile appeared on her beautiful lips. “These monsters are so bold!”
After saying that, Esdeath threw the scroll to Tetsuya Kanhara.
Toru Kanhara took the scroll and quickly read its contents, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
This letter is neither long nor short, but to sum it up, it is just one sentence: if Demiurge is not released within three days, the Sorcerous Kingdom will launch an attack on the Empire and start an all-out war!
It was stamped with the seal of the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown. It was a genuine letter of credence; it couldn’t possibly be a fake.
The words were quite overbearing, almost threatening in an imperative tone, completely humiliating the entire empire.
Given Bud’s loyalty, this was unbearable and he wished he could rush to the Sorcerous Kingdom immediately and kill everyone.
There was no fear on Esdeath’s face, instead, there was an obsession and anticipation for the war.
This did not surprise Kanhara Tetsuya at all. The imperial capital was under attack from all sides and was on the verge of collapse. Whether in terms of territory or combat power, the gap between it and the Sorcerous Kingdom was too huge.
The Imperial Capital could at most send out a few hundred thousand ordinary soldiers, while the Magic Kingdom could summon a large number of monsters in minutes.
In terms of high-end combat power, only Esdeath and Bud can at best tie with those guardians.
There was no need for the Sorcerous Kingdom to be so polite to the Empire, but it did not expect the other party to be so direct.
I don’t even plan to act.
What surprised Kanhara Toru was that Onest was very calm, as if he had nothing to fear. He thought that the other party would not think that the Supreme Imperial Equipment could withstand the krypton gold items of the Sorcerous Kingdom. Ignorance is bliss.
“Since there are new people in this room, let’s vote. I’m not a dictator.” Ernest said with a smile, his eyes sweeping over the three people in front of him.
Not a dictator…
Toru Kanhara, Esdeath and Budd all had strange expressions. If the civil and military officials outside heard this, they would probably curse each other to death in their hearts.
Although I don’t know what kind of medicine Ernest sells, the rules of the game are set by the other party.
“As for whether to release the demon, the Magic Kingdom has issued a declaration of war. Now let’s start voting. By the way, I support not releasing the demon and accepting the war!” Ernest smiled coldly and raised his hand.
“I agree!”
Esdeath, who was extremely crazy about war, raised her hand and voted in favor without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, two of the four people voted in favor. Even if the other two were against, it would at most be a tie and the discussion would continue.
Seeing this, Bud frowned, vaguely sensing a slight indescribable sense of weirdness.
When talking about war, it was Bud, who was the most angry just now, who was the calmest. He knew very well how terrible war was. A single move could affect the entire body, so he had to be extremely cautious.
Besides, the empire only has the imperial capital left, and we can’t afford to lose!
It would be better to agree to the request of the Magic Kingdom at this time, buy time and reorganize the internal affairs. Bud, who has a conservative personality, nodded secretly.
“We don’t have the conditions to go to war with the Sorcerous Kingdom yet. I object!” Bud said in a deep voice.
Ernest and Esdeath were not surprised at all by Bud, the stubborn old man.
Then it’s up to Tetsuya Kanhara next.
Whether to draw or accept war, Toru Kanhara holds a crucial vote at this moment.
The three of them stared at Tetsuya Kanhara.
Kanhara Tetsuya smiled slightly and slowly raised his hand, “I agree to accept the war!”
