The Outlaw Of Moon

Ila, who had served the Empire for half his life, was decisively betrayed. He wanted to go to another country, but was almost killed on the run and then saved by the Dragon Lady Demon King.
After crossing over, Ila, who had killed demons for half his life, was a bit scared, but...
"Those who struggle with the evil dragon should be careful not to become the husband of the dragon..."
"When you stare at the abyss, the abyss... offers a kiss."
Ila Elkaras was very confused.
But the reality he encountered forced him to examine whether the abyss stood in the demonic world or... "The Empire of Light and Justice"

After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

Establishing sustainable trade is a very necessary thing; for a nation, it is certainly good to produce and consume everything domestically, as it prevents dependency on others.


However, if one wants to gradually start building a self-sufficient country from scratch, then it is a waste of time and resources, which is not a good choice.


Producing surplus resources and using these resources to trade for other necessities needed by the country is what many nations choose to do; the Demon King Territory does this, the Silver Moon Tree Court does this, as do the Dwarves and Beastmen.


Except for the empire, there is no exception... This naturally does not mean the empire has all sorts of materials and grows all crops, but rather it simply does not necessitate trade.


Because civilians don't need "abundant food" to increase their happiness.


It's enough if they can eat to fullness (not starve).
