Fumas Plan
When I arrived at the throne room, I was greeted by my trusted subordinates.
The dwarf chief, Gottlieb.
The Shinsengumi Vice-captain, Hijikata Toshizou.
And even the kobold ninja, Hanzou.
The only one who wasnt there was Fuma Kotaro, who had joined us recently.
Or at least, I thought so.
But he appeared just as I sat on the throne.
He had been disguising himself as one of the soldiers, but he now removed the disguise to show himself as a masked ninja.
His appearance was the sa as when I first saw him.
Perhaps it was his default appearance?
I asked him about it, but he just laughed. Perhaps. Perhaps not.
In other words, he changed his appearance so many tis that he had forgotten what his original form was.
He was like Arsne Lupin, but who knew what kind of face lay behind that mask. I was quite curious.
But there must be a good reason for him to keep it on.
And I wouldnt look very good if I forced him to take it off.
And so I had given Fuma Kotaro permission to keep it on at all tis.
Very good, my king. You respect our individuality. It is most motivating.
Fuma Kotaro laughed under the mask. Or did he really?
That is good and all, but I hope I am getting sothing in return?
Of course. Information. It will affect the outco of the coming battle.
So, things have been going well?
Yes.
Fuma Kotaro nodded before beginning his explanation.
The rchant caravan went on its route through Decarbia as you planned. I then leaked this information to the bandits, beggars, and the rchants.
So, you thought that Decarbia would be less suspicious if they heard if from multiple sources.
Yes, Demon King. Exactly.
And then Fuma Kotaro continued.
It is the basics of information warfare. And I was very thorough. I know how many moles and lovers every important person has. And I chose the strongest of them to leak the information to.
Those who are greedy are quick to believe. After all, they act based on money. Decarbia and the inforrs would not care about respect.
Exactly. Decarbia quickly took the bait and attacked the caravan.
Were the rchants injured?
No. I told them to run away as soon as they saw Decarbias soldiers.
That is good. I would rather not have people die for such a plan.
Eve would occasionally make approving remarks, which I nodded at and returned to Fuma Kotara.
That is good. But have they suspected that it is fake?
They havent. Decarbia is gladly gathering weapons and food. He is also hiring rcenaries.
Then he will be ruined within two weeks.
Indeed.
Why dont we just watch quietly from here?
Eve asked.
I nodded.
Yes, it would be amusing to sit here and watch him dance to my tune. Well, it would be more entertaining if he wasnt so ugly, but we can have a beautiful dancer entertain us so other day.
And so it was decided. We would wait for the passage of ti.
Two weeks later, we saw the results.
The rcenary soldiers realized that the gold that was used to pay them was fake.
The tal was reduced to half the amount and was worth less than bits of iron.
This was followed by imdiate objections.
Of course, the rcenaries had also spent the gold at taverns and brothels. And so the owners of those establishnts had complaints of their own.
And of course, there were the rchants who sold weapons to Decarbia.
The circle of anger grew larger. Decarbia was called a swindler. It was known throughout all of the land.
Decarbia beca furious when he heard the news of this. The anger was towards , but also the rcenaries and rchants who insulted his na.
They were supposed to be under Decarbias rule. They should obey him whether money was involved or not. Or so he foolishly believed.
Many Demon Kings thought in such a way.
And so Decarbia went to the town square and used his soldiers to suppress the people who were protesting.
It was supposed to make the people docile and return things to normal. But this ti, things were different.
