Wasn't there a large formation of player characters that got wiped out? So of course they would know that the capital was taken, most of the nobility were killed, and that the royals went into exile.

I'm just surprised there wasn't a system announcement informing the world that it happened. Maybe when / if the king was killed instead of being allowed to run away.

Rare the not-so-friendless demon lord :dogkek:

Just an additional note since the manga didn't cover it, the maids were formerly maids of the castle, reanimated via necromancy skills. Apparently because they had relatively higher INT stats when they were alive, they retained their skills and etiquette even after becoming zombies, including brewing tea (very important)

Thank you for the translation!

It always seemed odd to me that nations are tied to the royal family and not to the area and people. Somehow I expected it to work like
the dungeons (that will be introduced in a later update of the game).
If you gain control of a capital and an area, then you take it over. But on the other hand, when you consider the history of the continent, it sort of makes sense that the game mechanic is to destroy kingdoms.

How do you create a kingdom?

Actually it does include area and people. Quoting from the EN LN
Q: What are the conditions for a kingdom’s destruction?
A: A kingdom on the starting continent must meet one of the following criteria to be considered destroyed. Please note that this applies only to kingdoms on the starting continent and does not affect those on other continents or outlying islands:
Loss of more than half its territory.
Loss of more than half its population.
Extinction of its royal lineage.

Ah! Good catch, I had forgotten that. Makes sense.

But I still think you should be able to conquer a kingdom, instead of just destroying it. Perhaps our dear Calamity just failed to find the exact requirements. And she was without a doubt out to destroy it, so she got what she wanted. :)
