When life at the mansion returned to tranquility, Mohe began preparing to intervene in matters of war.
If we were to speak solely about the Human Central Empire going to war with the Snow Elves, to be honest, Mohe couldn't think of a way for the Snow Elves to win. The Snow Elf named Elf is a strong individual, but among humans, there are at least five or six such strong individuals that the Human Central Kingdom can mobilize.
Not to mention the presidents of various associations; merely those who bear the name "Sacred" number several.
Excluding the Sword God Ah Xion, who theoretically has already betrayed the Human Central Empire, there are other beings bearing the Sacred Name.
Moreover, considering the strong military reality of the Central Empire, frankly speaking, there is no comparison.
In an actual battle, Mohe estimated the Snow Elves could conduct a surprise attack on the Ice and Snow Kingdom and capture it within a week, while it would take the Central Empire's army no more than three days to arrive, counting the time it takes to negotiate a surrender treaty.
However, this outcome did not meet Mohe's expectations; the best outcome is for this war to drag on indefinitely.
Of course, Mohe clearly understood that there was someone supporting the Snow Elves from behind. Otherwise, given the nature of the Snow Elves, they would never proactively attack human cities. Such a numerically sparse race values the continuation of their race above all else. Like wild grass amidst cold winds, even when covered by thick snow and ice, they seek to grow again when warmth returns.
Snow Elves are like this: they are proud, united—but will stop at nothing for survival, hiding in the cold snow not necessarily because they have no choice, but because they perceive ice and snow as safer.
If Elf did not have support from behind, it would only mean that Elf's power had reached that of her and Doro, otherwise the Elf must have gone mad.
This part of the support was not within Mohe's considerations; she personally thought that the Snow Elves were likely headed for a dismal end, though even Mohe was unsure of the exact situation—there might be a different strategy, which she looked forward to—she, of course, had to make her own efforts.
So she was creating new Demon Race.
She did not intend for past Demon Races to reappear in the world; dead was dead. That was an inevitability she held no nostalgia for those things.
Of course, the lack of labor in the mansion could be solved using this method, but Mohe was reluctant to do so; slaves bought with money offered more potential for exploitation and education.
She hoped to find some of higher status if possible.
Ever since retrieving her lungs, Mohe frequently stirred the large vat in the mansion, something everyone had grown accustomed to. Recently, many small objects had appeared in the mansion, which, according to Mohe, were manifestations of art.
Fortunately, she had not made any terrifyingly powerful alchemy items, such as Star Tear and similar items, which reassured everyone considerably.
Nevertheless, Doro still often checked to see what exactly Mohe had created.
Generally, Mohe was not inclined to create life; not having reclaimed her horns, it was rather burdensome for her. Moreover, life creation inevitably involved that divine b*tch. Mohe really did not want any excessive entanglement with that side. However, there was indeed a need for this at the time.
"God, I pray to you!"
...
"Doro, I think perhaps we should move out of the mansion," Lisidorwei suggested to Doro.
She hadn't originally intended to do so, but after marrying Doro, Rose's advances became increasingly aggressive. Recently, that girl had even worn a maid outfit to intentionally break plates, then knelt on the ground facing away from Doro, tapping her rear while pitifully saying, "I'm sorry~ please punish me~."
Does she really think she understands men?
Such lowly tactics...
Doro seemed somewhat tempted. This stirred a strong sense of crisis in Lisidorwei. Although their relationship wasn't particularly deep, they were actively working on their emotional bond; Doro's interest was quite high each night, and as a Blood Race, she could barely endure Doro... she had no desire for a Charming Demon to intervene in their matters.
Thus, moving out seemed imperative.
They had a strong need for this.
"Mohe probably won't agree."
Doro was evidently somewhat tempted too. In fact, when he went shopping recently, kind villagers discussed this matter with him.
"You and Miss Lisidorwei both are working at Miss Mohe's mansion; I know Miss Mohe pays well... but you can't possibly be her servants for life. A man must ultimately stand on his own, and you'll need a home. You'll have children in the future... Will you let Miss Mohe take care of your children?"
Although it seemed Mohe would probably be very happy... Doro felt these words were meaningful. Now that he had a family, he should indeed have a place of his own rather than staying in Mohe's mansion, where every night while engaging in that act, he had to divert attention to check if Mohe was peeking. It really hindered enjoyment.
Lisidorwei bit her lip: "Regardless of whether she will agree, we should at least ask. No one can say for sure what's on that person's mind, there's a chance she might agree."
