After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

"Lord Yila~"

"Hello, Lord Yila~"

"..."

Watching the Helde Ice Demons greeting him on the Demon King Territory, Yila helplessly nodded his head... *Really, seventy percent of the Little Demons followed the evolution route of the Ice Demon.*

*And this was more or less thanks to Vera.*

"Lord Yila."

The Balrog Flame Demon greeted Yila. With his horns, he looked somewhat regretful and apologized to Yila: "Sorry, I evolved into a Flame Demon."

*Is there any need to apologize for that?!*

Yila's mouth twitched. He didn't know what expression to show as he looked at the eight-hundred-foot-tall Balrog Flame Demon, patted his thigh, and said: "No, it's fine... I never thought there was a difference between you all."

Besides, in this world, the Flame system was always more useful than the Frost Series in anything... from forging to heating, it made sense.

"Rumble rumble rumble~"

"Wow! It's so shaky, it's gonna fall apart."

"Hahaha, no, no! It's sturdy!"

"..."

Then Yila saw a large group of goblins standing on a giant mech, shouting and driving it up and down the plowed field... some dwarfs nearby laughed heartily.

Of course, he also saw various mages from different races recording data... *What to say? Even if they were from different races, it was easy to tell who the mages were.*

But among the observing Beastmen, only one was a mage, and the other two were evidently priests.

Yila squinted at the planting mech that was obviously powered by an "automated magic wand," with most of its gears exposed...

The goblins seemed to truly be on their way to becoming mech giants.

The problem was, the plants they grew looked quite uneven, raising doubts about their survival... but the plowing rake in front of the mech did a good loosening job.

"Rumble rumble rumble~ Bang!"

Under Yila's watchful eye, the plowing rake on the planting mech hit something like a big rock buried deep in the soil with a clear sound, and the mech visibly tipped forward.

"Ah! It's tipping over!"

"Help! Help!"

Before Yila could step in to help, shields prepared by the mages immediately formed, protecting the falling mech and the goblins inside.

After that, the mages ignored the goblins and the mech, and began discussing the issues just like they did in the Three Towers classroom, where they loudly debated despite the instructor's lecture.

Except for Qiara, the battle mage instructor (who would hit people), they all enjoyed it too.

"It seems the destructive power wasn't enough; we overlooked the uneven geological conditions."

"Add a detection spell in front of the 'Savior'?"

"And then? Activate a destruction technique upon detecting hard objects? Use what?"

"Yang Flame Burst!"

"...Brother, what's your specialization?"

"Red Magic System!"

"That's too Mana-consuming, both the detection spell and the destruction spell."

"True..."

"..."

Watching his juniors research the problem, and the goblins clinging to the shield's outer wall listening to the discussion, Yila smiled and casually passed by...

*If it were up to him, he thought just improving the mech's balance a bit would suffice... but maybe magic was a better solution. That should be left to the professionals.*

As Yila thought, he heard a suggestion from the goblins behind him—

"Gob... maybe the front of the 'Savior' is too heavy. If we make the back heavier too, it should be less likely to tip over."

"Makes sense, gob gob."

"..."

Prompted by the goblins, the mages looked at each other, then clapped their hands:

"Indeed, it makes sense, gob~"

"Why are we saying 'gob' now too?"

"Uh... well..."

——————————

Following Tipcapu's directions, Yila found Satan Ye and Hilena... but there were many familiar faces here. Besides the two, many leaders were also present.

Moreover, two of the Three Demon Gods of Hell were there... though they were three fools.

And also the Three Towers' principal... more accurately, the three former principals who successfully retired after the first World Conference, were studying a giant castle.

This castle—which was supposed to be the "Underground Demon King City" in Hell—seemed to have arrived on the Main Plane, with its original owner, the Helde Ice Demon Queen, watching them tinker from aside.

"Mr. Yila~"

For some reason, despite the crowd, Satan Ye was the first to spot Yila walking over... Yila nodded and stood beside her, watching the Underground Demon King City in front of them.

"Yo! Yila! Big Sis sent your former Demon King's castle over, and we'll be hanging out here for a while! Big Sis will come over when she finishes her work!"

Seeing the hearty Diabolo, Yila glanced at her doubtfully and couldn't help but laugh: "Did Mephisto really say 'hang out,' or is there something serious going on?"

At Yila's words, Diabolo also began doubting herself...

"I think... I don't think so, right?"

Wait, did Big Sis say anything? Probably not... did she...?

"..."

Yila ignored Diabolo, who was pondering, and instead asked Satan Ye beside him: "What is everyone looking at? What are the Headless Knight and Black Knight doing over there?"

As soon as Yila voiced his question, he saw it... two flying knights shooting out of a passage in the Underground Demon King City like missiles.

"???"

That speed couldn't be just them running, could it?

Seeing Yila's confusion, Satan Ye laughed on the spot. Her tail joyously slapped the ground as she said: "I don't really get it either, but Gandalf over there said the Underground Demon King City had many fascinating techniques, and he's brought people to help decode them."

*Help? Steal!*

Yila judged... but there was nothing wrong with that.

"I said, stop calling me Gandalf! At first, Yila, only you called me that!"

Gandalf (misnamed), the White Tower Principal, helplessly called out. Stroking his beard, he sighed and asked Yila: "Finished with your business with the gods?"

*That sounded vaguely misleading.*

"Well, sort of..."
