How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!-Chapter 30 How To Build A Self-Sustaining Kingdom.

[New Quest]

[The Kingdom of Aquinas has a major trading route that passes through the Town of Noir. Capture this town and block the trading route of Aquinas in preparation for your invasion]

[Reward: 5,000,000 acres of land and One Special Eye Skill]

Floid hummed when he saw the rewards for the quest appear on his tab. That was a quest that was already a part of his plan. Floid already planned to attack Aquinas and take over that kingdom. Aquinas was the only kingdom here with a state-of-the-art mage academy. They are the ones that supply all the mages in all the kingdoms. Their mage school was the best in the three kingdoms, so they were the ones that trained most of the mages around the world. Floid needed them gone and so he already had a plan to attack them. This quest will just be a good way to start!

Floid took the sword out of Valkyrie's neck and then he started to walk away from the body. Alucard bowed and accepted the sword from Floid before dropping it into spatial space. The sword was magnificent and it would make a good trophy, but Alucard will have to cleanse all of the holy energy before Floid took it again. Floid then turned to Lilith and saw her staring at him in shock.

The truth was that Lilith didn't know if Floid would kill Valkyrie. No matter how you look at it, Floid was once a hero, and the woman there was once his own teammate. How can he just kill her so easily? It was like he didn't even feel anything after ending her life! I thought they went on adventures together and there was even a rumor that they were supposed to get married! Is that not the truth? Maybe this person really isn't the hero at all? Even a demon wouldn't be so unfeeling!

"You can take the body away before I also kill you. I really don't have time to waste on people who hide in the shadow and watch others die,"

Floid suddenly said this while looking back towards the shadow on the other side of the street as someone slowly walked out from behind the corner of a building with his hands up. He looked towards Alucard with weary eyes before he stared down at the body that was lying in a pool of blood. The man that just appeared was an S-class knight in Uta who came here to enjoy a good night, but he heard the commotion and came to see what was happening. Only for it to b the hero getting her ass handed to her.

The knight knew that he was not even close to the hero's strength and if there is someone that can beat the shit out of the hero like this then it is best if he doesn't even show his face! But he managed to hear everything and that means that he now knew that it was the former hero that became the new demon lord! Scary! The hero was already strong enough as it is! What sort of things can he do if he has an entire army of demons at his beck and call!?

"I don't mean any disrespect. I just couldn't help but hear the noise and I thought to come and check. Sorry for intruding,"

Floid scuffed as he took a white cloth from Alucard and started to clean his hand with it. He could almost taste the fear on the man's body. It's like every single cell in his body was yelling at him to run away! But the man knew that Alucard will catch him before he can even take a step!

"I won't repeat myself a third time. Take the body and leave. Tell your ruler about what happened here and tell her that I'm coming for her head just like all the other heroes,"

The man swallowed when he heard this before he slowly walked up to the body of Valkyrie and cradled it in his hand. He kept his eyes on all three demons to make sure that none of them made a move and he finally managed to jump back and then disappeared down the street! He had to get this news to his queen as soon as possible! If the demon lord was back already then it could only mean bad things for the humans!

The citizens would go crazy if they hear that the demon lord killed one of the heroes! And it would be even worse if they learn that it was the dead hero that became the demon lord!

....

Back in the town of Hampshire, the maids were handling the rebuilding of the town into a new frontier town. Immediately after Floid left the restaurant, Travy started sending materials to the demon caslte and the maids didn't waste any time as they began their master's orders.

Floid wanted the town of Hampshire to be the new base for the demon army. The maids were instructed to expand the town and build a large wall surrounding it. All the houses inside the town were thrown down and then reconstructed into large stone houses. There was a spot for every different sort of demon.

It was obvious that demons were all different. They couldn't all live in the same sort of places. The goblins and imps were always fighting one another because they were both thieves, so Rosavellt decided to put their habitats far from each other. The succubi and incubus were given a red-light district on the darker side of the town. They were able to set up their own government there and even though it took a little bit of bloodshed for them to find a leader, it was eventually settled and a red-haired incubus named Sabastine presented himself to Floid as the head of the pseudo-government.

Floid didn't mind constructive conflict among his people. His words were "As long as they are fighting for a good reason then there is no need to stop them for now". So the maids allowed the demons to handle things their own way.

The lizard men needed a regulated climate so they were given a taller building with magnificent insulation. They could live in the upper and hotter areas on colder days before moving down to the colder areas when they needed to.

The giants didn't have the space to live inside the town so they were allowed to roam through the underground caverns of the castle. Floid granted them a large cave where they set up their own little colony and they were told that they will get food and supplies every day if they worked in the caves.

The Mana crystals down there were numerous and it would take a very strong hand to remove them using axes. So Floid decided to hire the giants as his worker ants and then leave them to their devices. Giants didn't have any materialistic greed like the goblins so they will be perfect for the job!

And just like that, slowly but surely, Floid was already building his own kingdom. After two months of taking care of things around the town, all of the demons had become independent enough to cater to themselves. Floid would provide them with enough goods every month and they will be able to share and sell them amongst themselves! He was building an economy! f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

The humans were uncharacteristically quiet through those two months. Floid asked Travy why they were like that and Travy said that the humans were preparing for war. The kingdom of Uta went crazy after they saw that one of their heroes was dead and they finally started to believe that the demon king was back. It seems that they are getting all their people ready to attack the demon army very soon. The same thing was happening in Aquinas, and Travy and the other merchants were all very tired from the demands that both kingdoms were making!

Aquinas needed extra Mana crystals to strengthen their mages and Uta needed stronger steel to make weapons for their knights. It was absolute chaos out there! Floid thanked Travy and closed the communication circle that was against his ear. He smiled as he thought about the future. It seems that war would break out sooner than he thought. He has to move faster.
