Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 84
On that day, the world fell into terror once again.
The revival of "Storm Dragon Veldora" was confirmed.
This information was quickly passed onto the countries under the influence of the Western Saint's Church.
The kings of each country, once again tried to rack their brains for countermeasures against "Storm Dragon Veldora".
........However, there was a country that had a more pressing issue.
ï¼ï¼ï¼
Falmas Kingdom, inside the audience room of the Royal Castle.
On a certain morning, suddenly in the middle of the throne, something was left on it.
That thing was a lump of flesh.
On that lump of flesh, a face was embedded on the center,its was that of the King's.
He's still alive. Although he had a hollow gaze, he seems to still retain some small vestige of his consciousness.
The soldier who went to patrol in the morning noticed a groaning sound, that's when he found him.
Although the soldiers that served in the royal palace were elite Imperial guards, they can't stop letting out scream in fear after seeing the body.
Such disgusting appearance, it's inevitable if they did not realize that the thing they found was the King they served.
However, the lesser cabinet minister who rushed after hearing the soldier's scream recognized that it was their King which had complete change in his appearance.
And then...........,
Th... There must be a bottle under me........ Please let me drink it.....
Understanding the words of the King, who repeats the words in frail and incoherent muttering, they lift the King's body hesitantly. The bodily fluids linger, the stench enshrouding the vicinity.
There are people who vomit in fear.
There are some who stumbled on their own feet.
It was a pile of decrepit limbs that were attached something that resembled a human body.
The sight alone would awaken a person basic instinctual fear, a truly repulsive object.
Although their faces expressions stiffened, they endured it with their willpower to continue their duty.
Gathering the remaining magicians in the royal palace, they had finished confirming that the lump of flesh was certainly the King himself.
Even with such an appearance, they still need to pay their respect towards the King.
Having lifted the King's body according to his words, there was a bottle just like what he said.
But, will he be okay if he drink this? From that uncertainty, the magicians decided to appraise it.
The result......
Complete Recovery Medicine (Full Potion)
It was a legendary class restorative medicine just a little below Resurrection Medicine (Elixir). It has been said that by drinking this, it will completely restore the lost body parts.
The manufacturing method was lost, even the Dwarf race cannot reproduce it, so it was called as a Miracle Drug.
A thought crossed in the magicians mind to use the medicine for their research, but they wouldn't dare let such words escape their mouths in the presence of the king.
Of course, they knew that the only way to cure the King's current condition was by using the medicine.
The change was extreme.
At the same time as he drank the medicine, the King's body was transformed into its former healthy appearance.
The nearest minister quickly came with appropriate clothing.
Wearing the clothes and taking a breather, the King ordered to conduct an emergency Imperial Conference.
The palace became busy, preparing for the conference.
The King looked at his trusted ministers that remained behind, and said
Let's change the location........ I will speak about what had occurred. Before the conference begin, I want to hear your opinions.
So, he said weakly.
ï¼ï¼ï¼
After listening to the King's story, the ministers became silent.
The content was unbelievable and was too much for them at that time.
Ki, King..... We will ask once more. Did everyone really died?
If it wasn't a complete defeat, and if the survivor are not routed...... Then they are really dead?
Isn't the supply corps stationed at the rear? Are they safe?
The King shook his head weakly.
Such an appearance made everyone understand whether they accept this or not. Everyone in the expedition was dead.
One of the ministers broke down in tears after hearing the confirmation.
The minister who asked about the safety of the supply corps, had sent off his own son for his first participation in a war.
He made some arrangements beforehand to make sure his son would not be stationed at the front where it was dangerous but at the rear. But all of it was useless.
In the first place, everyone thought that they would be victorious in this war, so he was sent to participate in his first campaign...
The feeling of imminent victory he held at that time? The King could no longer remember it.
However, on such tragedy only one had survived from the enormous number of participants.
The total casualties enumerated to around 15.000 people.
This was an enormous loss, the likes no one had ever seen before.
King.... Was it true? Was the opponent only one monster?
A relatively calm minister asked the King.
The King nods at that question.
It was true. And, the only one who survived the onslaught was me.(ED: Formal speech. ä½')
Again, he narrated the facts that were hard to accept.
Of the torture he had, of the Monsters situation.
And also on the fact of the birth of new Demon Lord.
And the dreadful future that awaited the Falmas Kingdom, for opposing the Demon Lord.
The ministers turned silent.
According to the King's story, the fall of Falmas Kingdom was a certainty that would occur imminently.
That's why, the Imperial Conference was conducted, it would be held in three days after every Noble had assembled.
And then, the King told everyone about the three choices suggested by the Demon Lord.
Now then, my proposal. King of Falmas Kingdom.
You can only take one of the three options I present before you.
The First Option is for you to abdicate. You must step down from your position to take the full responsibility for this war.
Naturally, after the war, you must pay reparations, that can be in the form of parts of Falmas's territory or 1.500 StarGold coins.
The next one is the Second Option, you as the King must submit your country to our country, Tempest.
In this case, Your Falmas Kingdom will become a vassal state of Tempest.
The resistance from the Nobles will definitely big, so it can be expected that it will be hard to convince them.
Your treatment, as a vassal state will be dependent upon the decisions made at the conference.
Although it is close to an unconditional surrender, the lives and property of the Citizens will be guaranteed by me.
And the last, the Third Option, I don't really recommend this.
You once again gather the nobles, and continue the war against our country.
If you take this choice, at that time your life will really come to an end.
Although you might be liberated from the suffering of this world, you can protect your pride to the end.
The citizens would starve, and the War will continue for a long time.
You're free to choose any of the options.
Make sure you tell the messenger in a week.
Think about your answer carefully.
With a lovely smile on its beautiful girly face, she stated it while smiling kindly.
A truly terrifying Demon Lord.
Just by reciting the words, his entire being filled with fear.
To oppose such person, he never dared to even think about it again.
His fear outweighed his pride as a king; he no longer held any desire to oppose that person.
Turning him into a lump of flesh, every day he was made to eat his own appendages.
He wholeheartedly never wanted to taste such fear ever again, but he needed to listen to the ministers' words.
Unbelievable! A single Star gold coins is equivalent to 100 gold coins. Do you mean we need to pay 150.000 gold coins?!
There are no reasons to pay monsters such amount of money. I will never approve this!
That's right. Moreover, the territory too!
Even if it's only a territory of a Count, I won't accept it either. To become a neighbour to Monster Territory!]
Also, something like submitting is also unreasonable! There is no guarantee that the opponent will stick to the agreement to not interfere with the Citizens.
We are determined, we will resist to the bitter end. We swear by all our pride, we will exterminate those monsters.
For King Edomalis, he already knew that the flow of the conversation would become like this.
The nobles in this place had yet to see reality.
It's not because they didn't have fear, but because they are not the ones who went to war.
From a safe place, they sent people to fight in their stead. There is no need to think about the consequence when defeat came either.
It was good until now.
Falmas Kingdom was a major power; it was above the neighbouring countries.
But this time it will be impossible. After all, the opponent is a Demon Lord who annihilated an army single-handedly.
.......Is that ok? The opponent is a Demon Lord.
