Chapter 167 – Crash! #10
As expected, the orcs did not attack right away.
It wasn’t long before the situation of conducting armed reconnaissance was captured.
After all, it’s better to give up than to kill. Being able to take care of reason in my own way because no one died was exactly what I was aiming for.
Anyway, after confirming that, I blocked the entrance to the dungeon again. Like the last time, the tree roots were grown, covered with mud, and decorated to blend in with the surroundings.
With that, the dungeon was completely hidden.
Anyway, we have Viet Cong tunnels. Even if the gate is blocked, there is no hindrance to movement. In addition, there is a drinking water source underground, so there is no problem with holding out.
They also stocked up on food.
“Great.”
I did everything possible to prepare.
The rest is just waiting for the results.
First of all, as an emergency measure, I planned an escape strategy using a tunnel, but I hope I never have to use it. If that happens, it’s a real bummer. Losing most of my men is not enough, and my identity will be exposed.
“Please.”
So what you need to do now.
“Just pray.”
However.
As a demon, who should I pray to?
“Ching.”
Ching.
“Genghis Khan.”
Genghis Khan, master of the empire and master of slaughter. When he was young, he was just a baby dog. There were also several times of danger of falling behind. But he overcame it all and took over half the world.
“Give me strength, Genghis Khan.”
So I prayed to Genghis Khan.
* *
And.
A human regular army appeared.
“…”
I feel like my eyes are about to fall out.
Serinyu was holding the currently summoned Evileye. It’s more stable to have a pixie move than to move it yourself.
Anyway, right now, Serinyu was hiding in the leaves of a dense tree while wearing the ghillie suit Sharan made for her, acting as a CCTV camera.
“There are too many humans…! I’m scared…!”
Serinyu quietly shouted into Evileye’s ear with a frightened voice. Currently, my senses are linked to Evileye, so what should I say?
It felt as if someone was talking to the right eye in the face.
I know how Serinyu feels. But I couldn’t speak for myself. So I blinked a few times. Four times in the sense of reassurance.
“Ha.”
Still, Serinyu carries out his mission. As he slowly aimed the evil eye he was holding, he let me see the human camp over there.
“Hmm.”
They are the human regular army.
Armed condition is pretty good.
He wears quilted armor with a round-brimmed helmet and boots, and is armed with a one-handed sword and round shield. A multi-purpose pouch or water bottle are attached to the belt worn around the waist.
A real full-fledged army.
Do you hang out with guys like that? It’s a mess as it is. Our monster army is still unable to deal with the human army. At least, it would be possible if the weight class of the goblins had grown to that of a human.
Still, he wasn’t wearing iron armor. Giving all of that to a regular soldier would be costly.
Good night.
As it is, humans only need to discover the Orcs. They have marched this far, and the Orcs are conducting reconnaissance in preparation for battle.
It is certain that sooner or later the two will collide.
“Ha, really.”
I’m nervous like crazy. I am very uneasy about sending Serinyu there. But I have to do it, so I can’t help it.
“Demon King. I’m sweating.”
“Cool it down with some cold water.”
“Yes.”
Rumica dampened a rag with cold water and wiped my face.
“Are you that anxious?”
“Honestly, I’m fucking nervous. It’s the end if I get caught.”
“Don’t worry too much. I prepared so hard. It’ll work out.”
“Yeah… That’s how it should be.”
Even if I show my concern, nothing good will come of it.
“Maang-nim. It’s okay. Sharan will protect you if something happens!”
ㅡRemember!
Sharan smiled and raised her fist.
Hehe, yes. Just trust Sharan.”
Watching Sharan play her charms, the anxiety in her heart subsided a little.
“Shaa shaa.”
If Sharan had her tail, she would be wagging a lot. He patted Sharan’s head right away. It’s kind of like a big dog.
Well, that’s what calms her mind.
“Hey.”
Reika came in.
“Sister Reika? What are you here for?”
So ask
“…”
Something munches her mouth while avoiding my gaze. I have something to say, but it doesn’t come out well?
“That…”
“That?”
“Oh, fuck. What should I sayhaha. That, that.”
That.
“That… If we fight, we have no choice but to fight. Well, don’t worry about that. I don’t intend to die.”
“Ohhh! Are you fighting humans for me!”
“There’s nothing we can do about it if it’s life-threatening. So…”
“Yes! I won’t worry too much! Sister Reika, I love you!”
“Shut up!”
After she said that, Reika went back.
Tsun-tsun.
“Fufufu, Reika has become a lot nicer too? Demon Lord.”
“So.”
Ah, even if it’s still like that, it’s certain that you follow my orders. Anyway, while doing so, she closed one eye and focused on Evil Eye’s vision.
While doing so
“Ah…! Me, over there!”
Serinyu shouted in a low voice that only I could hear.
“Something suddenly moved! I must have found something…!”
Is it orc
He immediately blinked her eyes three times and ordered her to remain in place as if dead.
“Have you found an orc?”
I hope so. While praying that way, Evileye’s vision distorted. It started to melt when the time limit was reached.
“…”
Now we have to pray for Serinyu to return safely to the tunnel. Really. You must be shaking by now. Imagining that makes her heart ache. Even if it doesn’t seem like that, Serinyu is very timid.
Please ignore.
* *
Night.
“I was so fucking scared! Whoops!”
Serinyu, who had returned safely, cried and held me in my arms. I comforted Serinyu by stroking his back.
“It was scary, but you put up with it, Serinyu. Thanks to you, I got to know the situation. Thank you for holding back and carrying out the mission.”
“I don’t want to do that again!”
Is it unreasonable to do it again?
“Okay. I won’t order you anymore. Rest today.”
“Huh… Yes.”
“It’s okay?”
“I’m fine since I came home… But I’m tired. You don’t know how anxious I’ve been since Evileye melted.”
“Yes, yes. Let’s go and rest. I’ll wake you up if anything happens.”
“Yes.”
He guided Gri Serinho to the pixie quarters.
“Great.”
It’s night now. From now on, you don’t need to use a pixie. Even if Evileye flew around alone, he wouldn’t know.
“Go to the tunnel. Sharan. Follow me.”
“Yes Maang.”
I immediately went to the tunnel with Sharan. After going through the narrow passage and going to the exit, summon Evileye there.
“Sally.”
Launched right away.
ㅡFlap and flap.
My sight is linked with Evileye. It’s still difficult to control, but it’s gotten a little better.
ㅡ Fire.
After flying like that, I look everywhere to find a singularity. Something caught my eye.
“Torchlight.”
There is a group of humans with torches gathered there. In terms of direction… The side with the Orc tribe!
“Great!”
The humans have found the orc tribe! I immediately controlled Evileye and approached it.
ㅡFlap and flap.
It’s not that fast and it’s very frustrating. But my heart was filled with joy. Humans collided with the Orc tribe! Seeing that they even carried torches, they must have been raiding at night!
Doesn’t that mean we’re going to put all our energy into subjugating this completely?
How do you get to a certain point?
“Don’t fall!”
“Always check comrades!”
“Get in line! Don’t deviate!”
“Let’s destroy all the orcs!”
I hear the shouts of the soldiers. Soldiers carrying torches and armed soldiers were advancing towards the Orc tribe in formation.
“Chwiyiyiig!”
“Chwiiik!”
And the orcs that appeared out of nowhere attacked sporadically. Of course, there is no way that barbarians who have been attacked at night can defeat such a disciplined army.
ㅡPoo-wook!
ㅡFuck!
Soldiers who covered their fronts with round shields thrust their swords into the Orcs. And let the spearmen in the back row support the attack.
“Chwi, chwiyiyi profit!”
“Chwiikchwiik! Chwiikchwiik!”
The attacking orcs quickly fell.
Looking around, there were quite a few orc corpses scattered around. It is perfect. The plan is working perfectly. Humans are subjugating the Orcs instead.
If there is one thing that is unexpected, it is that there seems to be almost no damage to humans. I thought I would die a little bit while dealing with the orcs, but I don’t see any human corpses yet.
But.
I trained like this, but could I die?
“Whoa… Sharan. It looks like we bought it.”
“Humans fight with orcs?”
“Oh! They’re fighting!”
“Char!”
When you feel relief, your mind becomes at peace. I controlled Evileye again and observed the other side.
ㅡ Hurray.
The orc tribe was already burning. There are too many dead bodies. Soldiers light a fire and search the tribe.
“Did the Orcs kill them all?”
“No matter how much, there’s no way the knight will be defeated…”
“Weren’t you attacked by surprise?”
The soldiers are searching while saying such things. Soldiers are also questioning the series of disappearances.
And.
“Go, armor! I found the armor!”
Another cry is heard from the other side.
These are the items I handed over.
“…”
Slowly.
It lands on a branch from a nearby tree and observes the scene closely.
ㅡTattatat!
A man who looked like a noncommissioned officer came running from the other side.
“Bring it now!”
