After seeing the ship, Floid asked Rizi how long it would take for her to complete the mass production of more ships and Rizi immediately answered that it would take less than two months. Making this first one was hard because they had to make it from only the knowledge from the blueprints. But now that they already have a good sample that works they will be able to use magic to pump out a mass production in two months at least.
Floid smiled as his dangerous eyes narrowed. That would be perfect. In that time, he would be able to make some plans for Aquinas. He didn't want his people to go into a kingdom without an assurance of victory! If they are going to attack Aquinas, then they must be certain of their victory. Floid was an investor, and he would never make an investment if he didn't see success in the future. Ruling the demons was exactly like an investment for Floid!
Floid turned around and put his hand on Rizi's head with a quiet 'Good work Rizi'.
Rizi gained another happy blush before she bowed at ninety degrees to thank him. Rosavellt and Pyra were also impressed by what Rizi had done here. Rizi has been exempt from maid duties for the past two months and she hasn't left her workshop at all in that time, so they haven't spoken to her in a long time. It was a surprise that what she was building was so large. Rosavellt decided that she would stop being so hard on Rizi. She made the master happy so I'll give her some breathing space even if she is always making silly mistakes.
.....
The next day, Floid called on Travy again. He needed Travy to meet him because of the plans to invade Aquinas. Floid learned a long time ago that before you go into any fight, it's good to know your opponent and then try your best to shift the odds in your favor.
Aquinas is a big kingdom. Even if they are smaller than Uta, they are still one of the bigger kingdoms in Rivalle. So if Floid launches a surprise attack on Aquinas, they will still be quick to respond and they will also put up a good fight since their marine corp is very strong.
There are a lot of S-class mages there and Floid was sure that the academy also had a lot of SS-class knights that would be able to beat many of the demons. Floid needs to weaken Aquinas.
"Stop sending supplies to Aquinas for the next two months,"
Floid said this to Travy and Travy's eyes widened once he heard this. What's going on? Did the demon lord decide to starve Aquinas? The demon lord has been allowing me to send supplies to the human kingdoms for a while now, why is he stopping me all of a sudden? Travy leaned forward and asked Floid why he should stop. He wanted to know if there would be a big event soon, but he suddenly released a choking sound as he felt bloodlust beside him!
"Urk!"
There was some bloodlust from beside Travy and he turned around to see Rosavellt looking at him with the most condescendingly aggressive eyes ever! She looked like she would step on him like a cockroach if he dared to question the demon lord again. Who does he think he is to ask the demon lord to explain himself?
Floid rose his hand and told Rosavellt to stop trying to kill Travy with her eyes. Travy was a trader and floid was sure that Travy wanted to know what would be happening so that he could also make plans of his own. Trading during a war is one of the most dangerous businesses, if you are on the wrong side, you could be killed by hungry bandits, and kingdoms could delay payment for a long time because of a lack of funds. But if you can get the right information then it would be one of the most profitable periods for good traders. Travy is a good trader and he just wants to know where to focus his sales in the future.
"It's nothing secret, Rosavellt. We're going to attack Aquinas in the next two months and I think it's time I started to play my cards. Stop sending them supplies and leave them alone. Focus more on Uta and the demon army instead. If Aquinas asks you for a reason why you no longer send them supplies, then just tell them you are experiencing issues with your trade routes due to demon immigration across Noir and Hampshire. They shouldn't suspect you at all till it's time for us to attack,"
Brilliant! Travy couldn't even stop himself from being impressed! So the demon lord was willing to go this far for the sake of victory! He even thought so far ahead that he already knows what he will use as an excuse! The kingdom of Aquinas will not be happy with Travy if he suddenly stops sending materials and they will want to know why. If he doesn't give them a good reason then they will surely become suspicious of him. He will still be sending materials to Uta so it will be strange that he suddenly stops sending them anything. At least now that he had a good reason, no one can blame him for not bringing supplies!
Travy bowed to Floid and easily accepted the plan. Floid waved Travy away and he then looked back at the paper on his table. He has been working throughout the day and he feels like taking a rest. He hasn't had a good sleep in about two days now and he knows it isn't good for his body, demon or not.
Floid stood and told Rosavellt that he was done for the day. Rosavellt bowed to Floid as he walked out of the office. She would stay behind in his office and leave it immaculately clean so that when he comes tomorrow he will have a clean office to use.
Floid took a bath and he immediately went to his room. He thought for sure that he would just go to sleep immediately, but once he opened his door he was shocked to see Andromeda standing inside. She had only a bra on her body and she was looking at the ground with her hands joined in front of her as she waited.
Floid closed the door behind him and she almost jumped out of her skin as she immediately looked up! She saw him and her entire body turned red as a huge blush spread across her skin! Floid wasn't wearing anything at all since he didn't expect anyone to be in his room at this time so Andromeda was seeing everything! Floid was a bit worried that she might pass out from the blush!
"M-Master! I-It will be my pleasure to warm your b-bed tonight!!"
Andromeda was so nervous that Floid almost laughed! She was quite the shy one and she didn't even look at him once while she was saying those things! She slithered around a bit before joining her hands in front of her again!
Andromeda was feeling very nervous! It was her turn to be with the demon lord today and Rosavellt had already warned her that she should not show the demon lord her bad side! But Andromeda didn't know if she will be able to do this! The demon lord might not even like lamias! Most people don't like having sex with us because of our snake half.
"Andromeda..."
Floid suddenly touched Andromeda on the face and she released a scream as she was jolted out of her thoughts! Floid rose a brow at her and she blushed even deeper when she realized what she did! Ah! Just kill me now! I'm screaming like a child! Andromeda immediately calmed herse!f and looked at Floid! Floid smiled at her. He knew that she was the meekest out of all the maids and so it would be hard for her to do something like this. She was so nervous he could almost taste it.
"Kiss me..."
Floid commanded Andromeda to kiss him and she swallowed nervously before moving forward and kissing him!
