How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!

Dulla, along with five other undead were seated together in a room. Dulla was having a meeting with the highest ranking members of the small army she brought with her to the demon world. They were sitting around a table and Dulla was looking down at a map of Aradite. The undead army was already starting their attack and Dulla was having this meeting so that they can come up with the best possible approach for the next attack. Dulla still hadn't told any of the undead in her army that Kronos already ordered them to come back. Dulla knew that her rank was lower than Kronos, so if the men in her army heard that Kronos wanted them to come back then they would ignore her orders and follow Kronos instead.

She couldn't let go of her army just yet. Not when she can still use them to make that bastard pay for what he did. The demon lord had to pay for what he did! Even if I can't kill him with my power, I'll take his kingdom from him little by little. I will make sure that he suffers a great loss for what he did to me. Dulla was adamant and she wouldn't stop her attack no matter what.

Dulla looked up as she spoke to the man sitting beside her. Dulla already separated the army she brought with her into five squads and the man she spoke to was the leader of one of the five squads. He is an SS-class soldier with red hair and a permanent scowl on his face. Once Dulla turned to him, he looked towards her as well.

"How did the attack on the first village go? Were there any problems?"

The man she spoke to shook his head. He was the one that led a squad to attack the demon village and he didn't meet any resistance as they easily took over the entire village. He was a little surprised that there weren't any challenges at all. He thought that the demon lord would have some sort of protection for the villages, but it turns out that the demon lord didn't have any protection in that village at all. The soldiers in that village were easily taken care of and the undead easily killed most of the demons and took over the entire village.

As the man started to give his report, there was a sound of someone clearing his throat from another seat at the table. Everyone turned to the man that cleared his throat with a curious gaze and the man stood up as he looked at Dulla. Once Dulla saw him, a scowl appeared on her face as she narrowed her eyes at him. She knew this man. He was named Argo and he was one of the most intense soldiers in the army. He wasn't that strong but he was very dedicated to following orders and Dulla didn't like that look in his eyes. It looks like he is about to say something stupid!

"Dulla-sama, I understand that you are trying to do by taking over the demon world, but before we progress, I would like to ask you if you have gotten permission from Kronos. I know that everyone here is thinking the same thing. We are just soldiers so we need to get permission from the council before we can go any further than this. Your decisions here will affect the entire undead -"

Dulla cut off the man as she stood up as well.

"Stop beating around the bush and just tell me what the fuck you want to."

A cold sweat dropped from the man's head once he heard the hard tone that Dulla used. He knew that he was pushing his luck by talking to Dulla like this. Not only was Dulla stronger than him, but everyone knew just how impulsive she was! She is the sort of person to act first and ask questions later! But he has to do this! If no one else will speak up about this stupidity then he will say something! The decision they are making here is painting a big target on the entire underworld! Does Dulla know who she is about to fight?

"Dulla - I mean, commander..."

The man immediately changed the way he addressed Dulla once he saw her narrow her eyes at him. She didn't like hearing her name from his mouth so he stopped saying it. He swallowed and continued.

"In my opinion, I believe it is best to ask a superior for our next course of action. The council might believe it is best to return to the underworld since the prince is dead. We should hear from them and see if they want us to start an invasion,"

Once the man said this, Dulla could sense how everyone in the room started to mutter. People were already starting to speak in low voices as they agreed with what he said. Everyone here wanted to also ask a superior about what they should be doing next. Dulla knew that she was already losing the army. A dark shadow of anger fell over her eyes and she immediately walked up to Argo and looked up at him right in the eye. Even though he was a whole head taller than her, he still felt like she was looming over him!

"Tell me, soldier. Is that what 'you' think?"

The soldier felt another sweat drop down his neck. Dulla was looking at him with a dangerous aura and he could clearly feel the difference between their power. But he couldn't back down here. He knew that they needed to ask a superior for advice and permission before they decide on this! They can't attack the demon lord without reinforcement!

"Y-Yes, I think we should call Kron -"

Slam!

Crash!

Slam! Slam! Slam! Slam! Slam! Slam! Slam! Slam! Slam! Slam! Slam! Slam!

Before the man could even finish talking, Dulla's fist slammed into Argo's face like a hammer! Argo's head slammed into the table with a crash and he immediately tried to use a defensive skill to protect himself, but Dulla only used her physical force to keep on slamming into his face! His defensive skill broke like glass under her power and blood splurged from his mouth as Dulla just kept hitting him! Everyone at the table was silent as a graveyard as they watched with wide eyes as Dulla just kept on hitting Argo! She hit him over and over again until he stopped moving and his entire body went limp!

He was dead!

Dulla stopped hitting him after he stopped moving and she brought her hand up and flicked the blood to the side while taking a small breath in. She looked up at the others in the room with a calm look, but the blood on her face made everyone tense as they silently looked at her.

"Is there anyone else... That thinks we should go back?"

Silence! No one even dared to open their mouth! Dulla nodded calmly as she turned around and walked back to her seat. The dead man's body landed on the floor with a wet thump and she finally started the meeting again. She couldn't have someone like that in her army. He would keep questioning her until he thinks all her plans. She would just have to find a new squad leader now.

"So, what do you think is the best course of action for the attack? You said that the demons didn't retaliate when we attacked that village. Do you think our forces can handle them?"

The person she spoke to was the red-headed man that spoke up first. His head snapped to her in shock. He didn't expect her to talk to him. But he got himself back quickly and he stood up and laid out a map on the table in front of them. He remained calm and he didn't care about the person that Dulla just killed. It wasn't something new for superiors to kill those that speak out of turn so this was nothing to them. If Argo wanted to live, he should have just kept his mouth shut.
