Chapter 139 – Lizardmen #3
As I listened to the story, I could roughly understand the situation.
Currently, it is highly likely that the baron will encounter medium-sized or larger monsters, and therefore will organize a formal search party.
It will not be easy to take out the troops as the atmosphere of the Battle of Yeongji is in the air, but the big news is that medium-sized or larger monsters have basically appeared. It seems that we need to subdue them as soon as possible because we don’t know when they will come over and start a ruckus.
“There are no medium-sized monsters here.”
It’s just me and my men.
“Vanessa. What if I can’t find the traces of a medium-sized monster?”
“I’ll think of other possibilities. There will be many. But I don’t think there’s anything that can be said like this.”
Vanessa said the search was likely to be prolonged. If the search is prolonged, there is no choice but to find out where I am.
So, should the search party be annihilated?
“If the entire search party goes missing.”
“At that point, it’s a very serious matter, so I’ll send the army.”
Real army.
I can’t deal with it yet.
No. Even dealing with it would be a problem.
The baron’s army has been defeated?
Even to the monster army?
Complete annihilation of the real army is virtually impossible, so the survivors will spread information about us. A legion of monsters appeared and slashed the baron’s army… Who’s the fuck up then?
It’s me
If humans unite to subdue the monster army, the end will come.
“Can I fucking buy this?”
It’s a damn hard problem.
I kept questioning Vanessa.
“Basically… Normal soldiers don’t have a big difference in equipment compared to adventurers. However, the difference is that the army has been trained in group warfare. Troops in groups are not easily panicked. Similarly, they are not easily defeated. Doesn’t.”
That’s right.
“The army of monsters you trained… It’s very interesting and systematic, but it’s an army made up of monsters anyway. You can’t deal with a real army.”
“I know.”
Still no opponent.
Does that mean we have no choice but to engage in guerrilla warfare using traps to the extreme? Whatever it is, it’s a difficult problem… First of all, I feel relieved. Because I knew that the spec level of human soldiers was just mediocre.
That’s how you can win in a small fight.
First of all, we need to reinforce our forces as soon as possible… Yeah. There were lizardmen fighting satyrs. I can enslave their tribe to me and use them as combatants.
“Rather.”
“Yes?”
Then Vanessa spoke as if expressing her opinion.
“It might be better to retreat. Go deeper.”
“Oh, I’m considering that too.”
Now we have achieved our own power. Leading troops into the depths and re-establishing the stronghold is no task.
Here’s my home that I made nicely. Although this dungeon is a waste, the dungeon is only meaningful if you are alive. If I have to throw it away, I have the confidence to leave with tears in my eyes.
Well, of course, the deeper you go, the more powerful monsters appear… But I’m confident that I can overcome them all. Troll? I’ve never met him, but I just need to train. With Vanessa in the yard, nothing to worry about.
“If it doesn’t work out, we’ll have to move.”
“Then you’d better decide quickly.”
But there are reasons not to move right away.
“Quickly. Well.”
“What?”
“I think it’s okay to try fighting humans once.”
“What?!”
Battles with humans are scary, but there are returns. By fighting, we can increase our experience and increase our combat power, and at the same time, I can also grow.
They kill and loot humans.
There is a lot to be gained from just that.
“I have no intention of ending my life here in the jungle.”
“That means…!”
“By growing properly and expanding our forces.”
I have such an ambition.
“Yes. Shouldn’t we set up the Demon Kingdom?”
“No, nonsense!”
Vanessa, taken aback by my words, exclaimed.
Actually, it sounds amazing.
There was a time when I was only focused on survival after falling on this land. At the time, I lived with only one purpose: to return to the Demon Realm, but not anymore.
Now, the demon world doesn’t really matter.
I can’t even imagine taking all of my men back, I don’t have my base there, and I’m still just a weakling in the Demon Realm. There is no reason to go
But it’s different here.
Everything you do here. Each and every one of them helps me and makes me grow. It becomes my foundation and becomes my bones and flesh. Abandon this land flowing with milk and honey and run to the Demon Realm?
“I don’t do anything like that.”
At the time of his father’s loss, Temuchin was nothing more than a dog’s pup, but eventually became a loser in the grassland.
“Are you planning to slaughter humans?”
“Since I was born as a demon, it’s natural.”
Since I am not a human but a demon, the way I will live must be decided in the manner of a demon.
“Battles with humans are opportunities for growth.”
Let’s annihilate the search party.
And if the baron’s army comes rushing in, I’ll take a look at the situation and either fight or retreat. I am more of an expert in this forest. If you repeat the guerrilla, you will be able to hit it somehow.
“If you do, your identity will be revealed!”
“No, Vanessa? Are you really worried about me?”
“What?! It’s not like I’m worried! I’m just stating the reality!”
“But Vanessa, isn’t this unexplored territory?”
“…But.”
“Has there ever been a development in history?”
“There was an attempt… But it’s being neglected because it’s not economically feasible.”
“That’s the terrain advantage.”
This is literally unknown land. A space made up of dense jungle. Hiding in such a place and increasing power is not a job. A human wouldn’t be able to do it, but since I’m a demon, it’s possible.
Because the forest monsters and female monsters are all my resources.
Anyway.
Collision with humans means high-risk, high-return. If you have to retreat anyway, you’d better fight enough to fight and retreat.

“Wangjji, no! Serinyu!”
“Huh? Did you call me?”
ㅡRumble.
When I called, Serinyu flew in with her huge breasts bobbing. You really have an overwhelming chest no matter how you look at it.
“What are you doing?”
“Annit?”
When I came to my senses, I was rubbing Serinyu’s breasts over my clothes… What the hell is this? To think I was playing with my hands without even realizing it.
So I decided to go out boldly.
“What are you doing? Touch my chest.”
“Did you call me to touch my chest?”
Serinyu, of course, didn’t mind. If it’s just kneading, it’s considered normal skinship.
“That’s not it. Serinyu. You know the Lizardman habitat, right?”
“Yeah. I know why?”
“Go and subdue them all.”
“What?”
There is a difference between subduing and subduing.
Now, facing a collision with humans, I need the lower ones to sacrifice.
Of course, it doesn’t make sense to have my men as sacrificial commandos. Don’t even think So, I plan on absorbing one of the monster tribes by force.
Just as the Mongols used slaves in conquered lands as front-line combatants.
“You’re making me surrender?”
“Uh. Now more humans will come. Then wouldn’t we need more warriors? I’m thinking of using some Lizardmen.”
Now that our armed forces have grown. Devouring a tribe of monsters would not be a chore. Ah, it would be nice to find another hobgoblin tribe after this one.
They are dexterous and smart. If you swallow one tribe, you’ll be able to pay more attention to Muturi.
“Huh… You mean making them subordinates instead of killing them like the satyrs? Like friends?”
“No. They’re not friends. They’re like slaves.”
“Well, okay! I haven’t done anything bad since I did what you said! So, what we’re going to do next is to find the Lizardmen and beat them up, right?”
“That’s it!”
“Okay! Shall we start right away?”
“No. First of all, make a proper plan. Tomorrow instead of routine, we’ll do it indoors.”
“No work tomorrow? Yay!!!”
Hearing that there is no routine, Serinyu flew up and cheered. Real soldiers are universal.
Without work, I’m just happy.
“Then Serinyu. Please let the kids know. Now I’m going to attack the Lizardmen.”
“Yea, I got it!”
ㅡ Booung!
Serinyu flew away.

So I spent the day very frugally training the goblins, extracting information from Vanessa, and explaining what to do next.
And what to eat for dinner
After playing with the pixies, I lay down on the bed. Naturally, as soon as I lay down, Sharan and Rumika clung to me, asking me to look at them.
After playing happily, it was dawn.
“Ah.”
I decided to teach Reika about black magic first thing in the morning. You have to be able to handle black magic to be called a real dark nun. Let us properly inform you to improve your combat power.
ㅡSuddenly.
I brushed the sleeping Sharan and Lumika’s hair once and stood up from her seat. So carefully. Moving her feet, I went to Reika’s room.
“Sister Reika.”
I am sharing a room with Irene and Liza. She shook Reika’s shoulder cautiously.
“…Ah.”
“Are you awake?”
“…Go first.”
“Yes.”
I immediately grabbed the book and headed to the utility room. Roughly empty room. Let’s give you a little black magic lesson here.
ㅡ Kikkiik.
Soon after, Reika came in.
She is wearing a nun’s uniform.
“Then Sister Reika. Shall we start the black magic class?”
“Sure.”
She’s about to open the book and begin her lecture on black magic.
Something.
“…”
Isn’t she looking at me as if Reika has something to say to her?
“Hmm? Sister Reika? Do you have something to say?”
“…”
“Sister?”
“I’ll do it later.”
“Ah.”
“Now do your thing.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
I guess he had something to say to me. So, I must have said that we should study together at dawn.
Anyway, I started the black magic lecture.
Feel like being Carti!
That’s not going to happen, but if Karti is looking at me, I’ll say thank you!
