Chapter 70

Melheys aiting for me when I arrived at the top floor

“I’ve been waiting for you Arnos-sama”

Melhys kneels before me and bows his head

“What about Gaius and Idol?”

“They were successfully revived and like the others, soins and bodies”

The same as Aivis thenI think its safe to say that that the other elder demon emperors will be the same

“Out of the seven elder demon emperors, there is now three on our sideDo you want then the unification faction with this?” (M)

It doesn’t appear that Avos Dillheavia knows that Aivis is alive yet so only Melheys, Gaius and Idol can move openly on the table as my subordinatesEach side now has three of the seven elder demon emperors that they can use

In political terms, the unification faction now rivals the royal faction so I should be able the place some of Avos Dillheavia’s plans in checkmate

However

“You can leave it as it isNo hts of the Mazoku will not change so easilyIf we try to force it, Deiruheido will be split in two”

Because the royals and the royal faction hold so much power the mixed races and the unification faction keep a low profileThe power of the royals allows people like Emilia to come out of the orkIf the unification faction learns they have the power to oppose them now, they will act

I could easily take control of Deiruheido again but it’s not all about powerHow many people would I have to kill to silence the royals and bring them into line?

Say I do unite the mazoku then what of Avos Dillhevaia? He would probably hesitate and run away and then it’s just another proble that I doubt he has any intention of losingHe’s been preparing for 2000 years after all

For now, let’s just let the other side carry onIf they believe things are going their way they ht appear before me and that is the time to kill them

“Certainly my lordI have one final question if I in taken over?”

Melheys nods with a serious look on his face

“IndeedThe other seven elder deins fused and their bodies taken over, but in my case, I was only stabbed with the denificant”

“Perhaps they thought I wouldn’t be able to see through it or h subordinates”

“Do you believe they only have a handful of subordinates?”

“If you are letting them take over someone’s body you have to really trust the them away then, in that case, you can have as many as you want but it will be hard to build up trusted retainers doing that”

If I follow that line of thinking then they only have 3 trusted retainers left in the re demon emperors

“It could be they want me to think they only have 3 pieces left to play”

At the very least Avos Dillheavia is not stupid and is careful as wellThey have placed double and triple traps and are probably waiting for me to walk into one

“I have questions for the leader of the unification faction but that doesn’t appear to be you”

“………You saw that as well? As expected of Arnos-sama……”

“Who is it?”

“…………I don’t know………They are probably a royal though since they’ve gone to great lengths to hide their identityIf its a demon emperor or someone close to that position and its found out they support the unification faction then they will be driven out and the unification faction will cruood reason to hide your identitySaying that, if you are not a demon emperor or a person close to one then you can easily hide your identityAvos Dillhevia fits that description

“I checked and checked but they are brilliant at hiding their identityEven their ic trace has been erasedI’e of ical conclusionThey could have seen what the current Deiruheido was turning into and formed the unification faction
