Demon Lord Management Sim Game

Chapter 78 78 – Sacrifices

I kissed Phisovia's lips. Even though her condition is like that, I can still feel her warmth and tenderness.

Even so, it does not mean her condition has improved. Her body was clean, and her hair neatly combed, but she had less weight. Her cheekbones had even started to protrude.

"This victory feels incomplete without you, Phisovia," I whispered into her ear. "But don't worry. In a moment, I will heal you."

I stroked her hair, then left the room. As usual, a few succubi took my place.

"Are you all right, my lord?" Ayre faced me.

"Of course." I put on a faint smile, then started walking.

Of course, I'm not okay. Having walked a few feet, I found the remaining succubus sitting around Xenora. There were two crying succubi on the shoulder of the substitute general and one on her thighs.

She did a melodious humming and only nodded slightly at me as I passed her.

Then, not far away, I saw members of my army, whether they were minotaurs, mares, or succubi. About thirty individuals lay unconscious on the sheets.

Lexi guessed they got a poison similar to the one in Phisovia's body.

I stopped in my tracks when I saw Robyn. She covered a mare's face with a white cloth, indicating that the creature was dead.

This is the reality of war. In all my life, I never expected that I would see this horror in person.

Robyn stood and bowed to me, and I continued on my way. This time I flew out of the base towards Lexi, who was examining a wyvern that had become undead. Several weapons are also lying around her.

The shapeshifters assisting the doctor bowed at me, but Lexi remained focused on observing the wyvern's skin.

"Aren't you tired, Doc?" I approached the woman.

The doctor flinched and hastily bowed down to me. "I'm sorry I didn't notice your arrival!"

"It's okay." I smiled to suppress her nervousness. "You kept working even when we only got to base yesterday."

Lexi looked back at the wyvern. "But, I must do this immediately, Lord Vorn."

"Please, don't push yourself." I stroked the wyvern. "So, what did you find?"

Lexi crouched down, looking at the wyvern's head lying below. "They are so tormented in the pocket dimension, Lord Vorn. Their bodies are injured but not noticeable. And those are so painful."

"Poor to them, being in that pocket dimension for a long time. Maybe starting from the capital." I muttered. Even as a demon lord, I never thought of such a cruel way.

"So, I beg you, Lord." She looked at me and gulped. "Please, don't keep our friends there."

I smiled at her again. "Relax, Doc. I won't keep my subordinates in the pocket dimension... But what about the undeads?"

If I force my subordinates into that place, I'm afraid their loyalty will be lost.

"The undead are basically corpses. They feel nothing." Lexi answered. "I think that's okay."

"Then, what about the poisons that covered the weapons and the teeth of the wyverns?"

"Well, after this, I will collect it." That woman sighed. "But I don't think it will help much. We still have to know the ingredients and how they are made."

"I see." Even though I feel disappointed about it, I try not to show it on my face. It's not Lexil's fault. "Well, I'll use another way, then..."

I stopped talking because Szur contacted me.

"How is it, Szur?" I asked, feeling nervous. "Are you guys able to extract information about the location of the poison?"

Instead of immediately answering, Szur was silent. I was about to yell at him because I was impatient, but he finally responded with a trembling voice. "Sorry, Your Majesty. Szur and his comrades couldn't find that information from the captives."

My joints feel stiff. My heart rate jumped up. Even after sacrificing a lot, I can't get that most important thing?

Holding back my anger, I flew into the base, past my subordinates, then dived into the holding cell.

In that place, the mares were on their knees, not daring to raise their faces. As soon as I landed, I entered a cell filled with members of the kingdom's army who were lying unconscious.

We deliberately gave them sleeping drugs.

"How was the commander's life?" I asked Szur.

"He got his current position because he's a noble, not because of his skill.... And he's a despicable human being, Your Majesty." Szur explained. "He often makes people in poverty fight... The winner will get a prize, but the amount is tiny... He once only gave one piece of bread to a poor boy who killed his friend."

I stopped near the man with long blonde hair. "He did it for entertainment?"

"Yes," Szur replied. "For him, the fight between starving people is exhilarating. It's because they are fighting for survival."

Good. At least I won't feel too bad about what I'm about to do.

"Wake up!" I kicked the commander in the stomach, causing him to wake up and whimper in pain.

I grabbed the man by the neck, forcing him to stand up. He spat in my face, but I let him.

"Let go of me, you disgusting creature!" He punched me, but I barely felt anything. "You don't deserve to touch me!"

While my right hand was choking him, my left created a shapeshifter.

Before that creature bowed to me, I gave him an order. "Imitate this bastard."

In a short time, he changed his form to be very similar to the commander, but with a blank expression.

The commander gasped and stopped fighting me when he saw that.

"He will replace you in your house, replace you in your position." I hissed in his face. "He's going to intrude on the army, and he's going to fucking your wife."

"The commander also has two cute children." Szur let out his trademark shrill chuckle.

I put on a triumphant smile. "Well, I'm sure this underling of mine will make a better father."

The commander widened his eyes, still unable to speak.

"Do you think we should give this great commander a chance, Szur?" I asked the mare. "You know, to persuade me not to make a disgusting creature fill his wife's pussy with cum?"
