Meeting with the Toad(1)

Chapter 4

(A/N: this is a three-part arc which starts from here to chapter 6.)

Just like Lucifer predicted the nations farthest from demon kingdom began revolting and soon announced themselves independent from The Demon Kingdom. They marched armies against the demon kingdom soldiers that were sent to hold positions and transporting goods from their kingdom to the demon kingdom.

Many of the demon kingdom's caravans were attacked but luckily due to their quick response, the demon kingdom managed to secure more than half of the food, gold, and ores.

When humans began their revolt and attacked the demon armies, they were going strong but failed as soon as the holy kingdom fell. In truth, after the capture of the holy kingdom the religious practitioners lost their moral which created a ripple effect that leads the whole army to lose their morals and retreat...

The demon kingdom was very close to extinction but due to the cowardice of a few humans the whole army retreated and many countries that were once under the control of the demon kingdom regained their independence.

Except for the former holy kingdom, all the other nations regain their previous status. The neighboring countries decided not to fight the demon Kingdom. Instead, they signed a peace contract with the kingdom.

Many criticized Lucifer as weak for accepting their terms but lucifer silenced them by saying that, if anyone wants to start a war with the humans they can do so with their own army.

Lucifer was well-loved by the soldiers and Bollock being his close companion and The general, he had firm control over the army and any opinions about attacking the humans were dismissed.

...

A few months later, Lucifer rustled through the stack of papers signing at the bottom of each page after reading the details written on it. He skimmed through hundreds of sheets before settling down.

He looked at Bollocks who sat next to him and asked, "How are the current circumstances of the army?"

Bollock has been appointed as in-charge of recruiting soldiers for the demon army and Lucifer ordered him to take in every race as long as they can fight.

"The training of the soldiers is going well but there are some new "recruits" that are causing problems."

Lucifer raised his bow and asked, "Are these recruits, Humans?"

Bollock denied, "No my lord humans are behaving appropriately. The one causing problems are the elves and half-elves."

"What do they want?"

"They want us to give them proper respect, they are complaining that even though they are superior to humans they are treated the same."

Lucifer wanted to laugh but stopped himself. In his eyes, both humans and elves have the status below insects and he found it funny that those insects think otherwise.

"Do you need my help in disciplining them?"

"Of course not my king I just need you to show them who their master is."

"Gina," He turned to his other side, "schedule me a meeting with the soldiers I need to discipline some revolters."

"Yes, My Lord."

Gina was a succubus, and like every succubus, she had red skin and a beautiful mature face. Her hourglass shaped body resembled every man's desire. Her perfect shape breasts were tightly secured by her clothes showing some of her cleavages. A pair of batwings folded behind her back and her tail lifted from the ground contained a stinger that was coated in toxins when given to men forced them to have a painful boner.

(A/N: I googled succubus and described the hottest one I found, I also added some of my own imagination.)

Gina looked at her notepad and skipped through pages and said, "I can schedule you but it is two months from now."

After the war, The demon kingdom changed in many ways. The first change was its name. The name of the Demon kingdom was changed to 'the Demon Kingdom Augutonia', named after the former king Augustus and the second change was that females were now allowed to participate in jobs that were previously reserved only for males.

After the war, Lucifer noticed that the reason why he lost was not that he lost many soldiers. Instead, the real reason was that he had little to start with, around half of the countries population never took part in the war and stayed in the kingdom.

Having no female soldiers in the army or any female in a major workforce lead the country into a position where they had many mouths to feed but fewer people who worked.

Apparently, demons aren't a sexist race and his suggestion was supported by all the council members and ministers.

Gina was one of the experimental workforces alongside an all-female army and all-female craftsmen guild.

These females were trained by expert males with the help of female teachers so that there is better coordination between experts and female students.

"Increase the priority of this meeting and schedule it in place of low priority ones."

She again shifted through her notes and stoped at a page.

"If that's the case then 4 days from now you have a meeting with the council and ministers about wine transportation, we can start the meeting early and end it sooner."

Lucifer pondered for a while and replied, "Send messengers to them explaining the change in time and schedule."

"Yes, my lord."

"What is the current status on the road connecting the holy kingdom and demon kingdom?"

"Construction from the demon kingdom's side is on schedule but the Holy kingdom side is facing some problems."

"What kind of problems?"

"Human problems."

Lucifer turned serious and asked, "An attack or a revolt."

"None of that. The laborers are refusing to work unless they see their families, According to the reports they think that you cheated them and already killed their family."

"They think I am that petty."

"I apologize, my lord, but can't you let them see their families."

Upon her suggestion, Lucifer glared at her.

"Humans have been hunting demons for centuries for the sake of sports. Do you really think I will show any kind of kindness to them?"

"I was speaking out of my mind. I am sorry, my lord." She deeply bowed.

"I accept your apology but never speak of this again." ... "Now tell me how is Rava reacting to this."

"He is doing nothing, my lord. I think he is hoping for you to take some action on it."

Lucifer placed his hands on his chin.

"Write a letter to him explaining what is happening in the construction site, also tell him to do something about it or else his position as the ruler of the holy kingdom may come to an end. If he is unable to do it himself then I will personally deal with those problem creators myself." ... " Also, send messages to each councilmen stating them to come up with a name for the current holy kingdom."

"Absolutely." Gina wrote it in her notepad.

"Is there anything else left."

"Yes sir you have a meeting with Omar in an hour, he wants to discuss about the delivery of fresh supplies for his... Ahem... farm."

'That greedy fat toad.' He cursed Omar in his mind. 'How much more do you need?'

"That fat toad isn't he satisfied with the humans he has." Lucifer was annoyed with his unreasonable demands, "We can't have him eat all the potential workforces. Let go discuss with him."

"My king please don't send any more humans to him." She requested.

"You are too kind to humans Gina, I predict that you will be killed by the same humans you protect."

Her face sulked.

"But... I can't neglect your advice as my secretary. Now go and get ready, I have a meeting with a disgusting toad."
