I Become a Staff Officer in the Demon Army, but I Can Only Do Office Work!

"Coastal confirmation! Prepare the tarrap!"

"All right, check the boarding roster for each platoon. There are three of them. Don't make a mistake!

"Captain. The Imperial Navy aircraft carrier Amagi and Katsuragi arrive offshore. Communication with the direct mask launch vessel Seri.

"I don't trust them..."

"We're not rich enough to be luxurious."

"So is that. Plus, a launch ship from offshore really has limited operational time.... you guys, get to work fastest in your lives!

"" Hi!

The human army is gradually beginning to prepare for withdrawal.

How far can you use the time you have earned? How well does the retreat play that the Demon King Army is doing while they are suffering from the barracks?

"Apparently, the Demon King's army is slowing down. Does that mean the defense of your allies is successful?

"... there will be, but the Demon King's Army may be running out of supplies."

"If so, it's a one-of-a-kind opportunity."

"I hate to believe it, but let's think of it as God's mercy"

Perhaps it is not the human army that decides whether a retreat play will be a comedy or a tragedy.

Demon King's Army, Front Line Command.

It was a temporarily established operational headquarters, where commanders from the north, centre and south, as well as staff officers, naval South Sea fleet commanders and front-line barracks officer Sofia Wolfe, headed by the Commander-in-Chief, Hel Arche, were present at the meeting.

"... I don't have much time, so let me be frank. No further full-scale offensive is possible due to a shortage of supplies. Especially the southern army, which failed to seize control of the sea."

Opening split, it was Sophia who took the audio head.

I honestly told him about the situation in which my own army was being placed. It's not a matter of fixing it and doing something about it, and if we don't talk honestly, it involves credibility. That's the idea.

"Therefore, we propose to refrain from any further advances or to launch an otherwise limited, one-sided offensive"

I uttered the word with the temper that I would take any reprimand.

Seeking victory, for the front-line troops who have worked so hard to reclaim the land taken, because the cessation of the offensive due to the failure of replenishment can also be described as humiliating.

That's why I waited.

However,

"Well, I don't have a choice. It was a different operation than before. You won't be able to blame the station very much."

And Hel Arche answered.

Pomp, Sophia sees the Demon King. There was a demon king with shrugged shoulders and a slight grin.

And the other executives who were about to say something were suddenly stopped from momentum because it was the first thing the Demon King said that.

Sophia quickly understood that Hel Arche had put up a line of prevention to prevent a cursing storm from flying to her.

(... after all, does that mean I left someone to rely on, from start to finish)

That's how I think.

But I shake my head to the side right away. No, then you said no. I'll take care of my own aftermath. That's how I decided to hold this meeting.

"No, Your Majesty. The failure of the barracks is biased to the barracks station...... to me in charge of the front line barracks station. I'm ready to take any blame."

".................. Huh. Right."

The Demon King laughed at Sophia's attitude like that.

The reason for the laugh is, I'm not sure.

"Well, let's just say accountability is later. The question is what to do with the human army. I'd like to hear from the commanders of the front-line unit on how to make use of limited supplies."

The Demon King looks at the history of the attendees and solicits their opinions.

From there, it unfolded as Sofia predicted beforehand.

Each insisted on "prioritizing supplies for his own troops". There are many different ways to describe it, but that's generally the case.

Everyone cares about their results and appreciation, and nothing is cuter than their own people.

Besides, if it works here, it will have a name in history. You'd also think it would be a good opportunity to kick your rivals down......

"So my opinion as a Southern commander is that we should focus on the Southern military."

"I see. You're easy to understand."

And the demon king shrugged.

I really wondered if everyone would say that.

"Well, we're winning, so it's still okay..."

and speak in a whisper that no one can hear. What I heard would be about Sophia in Hell's Ear.

"So, what do you think as a barracks station?

"… I think it depends on what point the offense leads to a strategic victory"

"Saying?

"Our operational victory seems unshakeable at the moment. So I think we are in the process of getting a higher order victory, i.e. a strategic victory"

"I see. So what's your definition of 'strategic victory'...?

"It's..."

Sophia gets stuck in words.

The ultimate victory for the Demon King's Army lies in expelling mankind from the continent. A strategic victory for this purpose is the expulsion of the human army.

That is, it depends on what point it is efficient to destroy the human army, and which point it can lower the morale of the human army.

If so, the conclusion is obvious. It is the annihilation of a semi-surrounded human army in Cape Carreria.

If we can raise that human army to a blood festival without one left, the morale of the Demon King's army will increase, and the morale of the opposing human army will decrease.

If so, the choice is to focus on the southern side of the army. You can twitch and raise the front line and slap it down into the ocean. The deployment of airborne units is also an area in which we are active, and that is best if we meditate on consumer supplies.

But for some reason, that word doesn't come out.

"… it is the same as His Majesty's idea"

So Sophia gave an opinion on the run.

He said he was like the Demon King. It could also be described as an escape of responsibility statement.

"Right. Okay."

The Demon King just nodded, whether he knew it or not.

When everyone has said the same but different opinions, the meeting ends in parallel. Making Akira say it would be a "waste of time".

So it's good that someone decides with strong leadership.

Of course that would be better with Hel Arche, the Demon King.

It is inevitably difficult to find a conclusion that leaves no discontent.

If I am dissatisfied with my opinions not being adopted, judged, or obstructed by future operational actions, I will have trouble.

Reasonable reasons, both emotionally and rationally, will be needed to prevent this from happening.

"Sure, the Central Army is expanding the most occupied territories now."

"Yes, our army is fast advancing in the centre, and the human army is disintegrating, almost all already organized resistance is equal to none. This is an opportunity to focus on our army and further expand its impact."

"But east of the current location is the mountainous area, and I wonder if it would slow down the advance? If so, it is still easier for our northern army, which is sprawling in flatlands, to achieve results. Didn't this kind of thing say 'superior to cospa' at the barracks station?

"No, we should focus on the southern side of the army here! If we leave the area where the enemy is currently most concentrated, we will leave behind the aftermath of the scourge. This is the only time we can beat our enemies!

"But on the southern side, the military is already rugged on the terrain and has failed to secure the supply route? Besides, the concentration of enemy forces means that there will be so many expected consumables. Water on the burning stone even if you focus on the Confederate army. Would you give my navy a chance here now? If we can control the sea, we can isolate our enemies."

"Who do you think will give supplies to the losing navy or something!!

and things get worse on the verge of a combined fight from the parallel line.

In front of the Demon King. That would not happen, but it was natural to dispute.

Mistake this strategic decision and it will sound later. In many ways.

"Gentlemen. We are winning at the moment. Perhaps we can win it to the end. But in order to make that victory more definitive and stable, the anxiety element needs to be eliminated as much as possible. Do you understand?"

Hell Arche drinks in a confusing conference hall.

To her words, they all snort together.

"General Naval Cadriane"

"Ha."

"I'll give you a chance to clear the snowflake."

"" "Your Majesty!?

The army commanders were puzzled.

First of all, I thought there would be no navy. They are confused as to whether they would have been merciful with the Demon King enough to forgive the one who came home losing.

Though the confusion is most surprising to the person.

"General, we tend to lose contact with the Flying Dragon Air Force. Apparently, the human army is concentrating its power on this Cape. But anyway, you don't look eager to fight back."

"... and then?

"It's easy. It means they're trying to escape with a ship. Then all we have to do is take control of the South China Sea and surrender the human forces besieged in the south. If I could do that, it would be a lot more convenient after the war. I almost expect the General's excitement."

"Yes! I would certainly like to offer my victory in a spirit of crushing, full spirituality and quickness to meet His Majesty's expectations."

"Ah. In every other way, the military will interrupt the offensive while worrying about the remaining material quantity and will only hold it for a limited attack. The march must not go without my permission. All right?"

"But Your Majesty..."

"What? Are you even dissatisfied with my opinion?

Hel Arche's words had a definite intimidation as the supreme power.

There are not many who can differ before that intimidation. Everyone would have thought the exception was about that "human" thing that air can't read.

There is no one to dispute the words of the Demon King, and the meeting is closed.

Non-naval generals were disgruntled faces.

Meanwhile, Sophia Wolfe couldn't stand from her conference seat.

"... even though it was a meeting that never came to mind and I thought it was unavoidable to take responsibility. It's all over now."

I look up to heaven blindly.

Is it the sense of disillusionment that comes from the fact that there was nothing, nothing could be done?

"Sophia, are you okay?

"... hey, sire!? Shh, sorry. Immediately..."

"Oh, never mind. Keep it up."

Hel Arche sitting next to her, controlling Sophia trying to stand up.

"I know more or less what you're thinking without reading your mind. So, are you okay?

".................. It's okay, I think"

"... well, let's do that"

Gently, says the Demon King. With a smile like a mother.

"... why did His Majesty decide to focus on the Navy?

"Yeah? Didn't you hear that earlier?

"No, I was listening. But I didn't think it was like your majesty... maybe you all do."

"Right... I guess so. Surely this wouldn't be like me."

"So why?

When Sophia asks, Hel Arche scratches his head. Instead of saying how I answered, it was an eye that said, "Can I answer?"

"... because this is not my idea, is it?

Hel Arche laughing and saying that.

Sophia knows that when she spins words that way, it's more or less "he" behind it.

Would I have been helped again?
