Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - ep11

Now it seems that we are moving into the finale, they are not exactly being subtle about it. War is building on three fronts for the southern nations. First you have Central who is going to attack Winter Kingdom because of the tariff. There is also the matter of defying them with protecting the Crimson Scholar, which later start a mass migration into the southern kingdoms. Then you have the jealous White-Night Kingdom which is enraged about being excluded from their alliance. Then the situation with the serfs has just made this resentment worse. They are intent to use this growing conflict with Central to their advantage by attacking Iron country and hopeful being able to take it for themselves.Then worse yet you have a demon army coming from the south, the results in them facing a war on three fronts.

Then while this is going the situation that the Merchant created has reach critical mass. It seems that Central has plans to artificial create new currency, by making the old currency worthless. They intend to do this by replacing it with new currency that is going worth more than twice what the old one was worth. Although the Merchant has doubt that they will be able to maintain this self-proclaimed value. This is when he enter into the second stage of his plan by beginning negotiation with the Winter Kingdom. That he wants them to sell him the Bright-Light Island, Second he wants to buy all their potato crop, third he wants a special exemption to travel through the country without paying the tariff, and lastly he wants to set up banks in each of the southern nations.

Once the Merchant has declared his desires to the Kings aid, it is clear to him the truth about what the Merchant is after. That by establishing banks in the southern king, the merchant is able to create a place where the old currency could be used. Then with the tariff and Bright Light Island he is trying to open up trade with the demons. That he intents to use the wheat as a psudo-currency, that through it he is going to force Central to still use the old currency if it wants their precious wheat. That it is through the merchant the a dual-currency system is created.

Although once this is conclude things brings use back to what are the southern going to do about the war on three fronts. It seems that the war with Central is going to be done through pay-offs, that the winter kingdom seeks to buy them off each day by sending them a gift. That if this holds then once winter falls they will be force back without a single shoot being fired. Then with how Iron country is dealing with it's unruly neighbor, it far less peaceful. That White-Night Kingdom is abandoning all form of strategy and believes that they can win by using brute strength alone. This false belief proves to be their down fall since with the Iron being entrench it robs them of their speed which was the only advantage the White-Night Kingdom had. Then on the last front Yuusha deals with it personal, but once he is face with the army he doesn't have an idea on what he should do to force their retreat. Then only a moment later the mage he was looking so hard for finally shows herself. Her answer is to teleport them all back to the demon realm, then once they are there he is to destroy the gate.

Once this is done, the mage has him go through the smoke. That once he pass through the smoke, that once he clears it. It is then that he discover that he is in the Demon Realm, that once he is there does the mage explain the truth about it. That it is not a different world but it is a world that exist beneath them all this time. That there is no time that the Maou is in trouble and he needs to rush to her side. It seems that the Maou has been taken over by the previous kings that came before her. The question is will Yuusha be force to kill her like he intend to do before all this started, or will he find someway to free her from her possession. Personal I'm guessing that they will go for a happy ending where the Yuusha frees her from the hold of the previous demon lords, the issue is will things go as I hope.
