Chapter 269 – This Castle Is Mine Now # 8
“Kreurreureuk! Mowang-nim! I really need a dormitory!”
“Kyusassat! Maou-nim! I need it too!”
After seeing the goblin dormitory, Lim Soong-i and Gyu-il clamored to make their own. I guess I’m really envious.
“Hey, hey. Then, of course, my brother will make the same for you guys. I made the goblins first to try it out. You just have to wait a moment.”
“Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”
“Gyusaaaaa!”
Imps and kobolds don’t have as many fucking as goblins. The two together equal the number of goblins.
You just have to re-order a similar quantity.
“What! Why don’t you say that to us! We want to have a watch tower too! A watch stand!”
“Let us watch over you too!”
“I want to have a watch tower!”
Of course, the pixies also clamored.
“Oh, Serinyu. I told you. Just wait. I’ll make it right away.”
“I can’t stand it…!”
Serinyu trembled as if he couldn’t stand it.
“I want to put my things in Nadu’s watch box!”
I went right behind Serenyu and said while putting his hand on his bra.
“Let’s be patient, just a little bit. You guys packed a lot of shiny things.”
“So, I need a watchtower to put it in!”
“This is true.”
Allocating rooms is also a job, isn’t it?
Not just pixies. The Dark Elves also had to create a lifestyle, and the Lamia had to create it as well. But Lamia’s are so big that they can’t live in a normal dormitory.
The castle is quite high-rise, but after giving all the dormitories to the subordinates now… Yes. Do you still have a lot of room left?
“Honey.”
Currently, my bodyguards and nuns do not live in a dormitory, but go into empty rooms and take care of themselves. They are from the human world anyway, so they don’t have to worry about this.
All empty rooms are now occupied by them. The lamias are also living comfortably, occupying one large room at a time.
However, Lamia also has difficulties.
“Maou-nim. After coming here, I’m sluggish because I’ve only been active inside the walls. I want to do some violent combat activities, but can’t I go out yet?”
That’s it.
Since the Lamia can’t work outside yet, they are simply training inside the walls.
It’s a state where you can’t radiate energy while shooting through the jungle like before.
“Please be patient with Julia-sama too. Now is the time to get used to life in the castle.”
“I want to go to war, but…”
“War requires a lot of preparation. More preparation than when staying in the jungle. But isn’t it fun to wear accessories like that here?”
“It is, though.”
The Lamia robbed the baron’s castle and gathered shiny things to make accessories, and they said they liked the maid outfit and were playing in it.
“There will definitely be times when he will be active. Until then, just focus on training.”
“Yes. I will.”
This is the periphery.
Even if the angels heard the rumors of the saintess, the chances of them suddenly launching an all-out offensive are low. Let’s say they send a large army. To get to this point, you have to deal with anti-angel faction aristocrats everywhere. That would be difficult
So now is the time to focus on your internal affairs.
You can go out and fight only when you are strong.
Well, I’m working around the castle like that.
“Keruk ke ke ke ke ke ke ke.”
“Uh. Buril.”
Buril came to me.
“I’ve finished organizing the dormitory. Now I’m going to take care of the equipment myself, Kerung.”
Hehe, well done.”
“Kerung, so I want to start training soon.”
A soldier who really demands training first!
Surprising!
Haha! Burir! Why! Is my blood boiling? Can’t stand it because it’s boiling!”
“Of course! I’ve come this far, but I can’t stop! You want to go to a wide battlefield! Keruk!”
“What a fine fellow!”
To be touched!
“Of course I have to go! But I’m going to go. Training. It’s a bit difficult right now. Because fighting in the jungle and fighting in the human world are completely different matters. So I’m going to try to figure it out and understand it properly before putting it into action.”
“Is that so?”
“Uh. So, for now, just take the kids and train your weapon skills and physical strength. Sooner or later, hyung will give you instructions.”
“Keruk! I know!”
There is no combat training to do right now. I need to re-examine my tactics. I just need to do some physical training.
“Neckri!”
“Ah, yes! Demon Lord!”
Currently, Dark Elves are armed with cloth armor and helmets. Covered up like this, I can only see him as a soldier. A rather slim soldier.
Dark elves are currently guarding and guarding the castle. He is in charge of escort work, etc. Carts and people enter the baron castle every day. Only the Dark Elves could do that kind of work.
And now the saints and angels are out giving speeches and spreading teachings, and they are also entrusted with escorting them.
For reference, the response to the speech was explosive.
A charismatic and beautiful saintess, accompanied by beautiful angels, is giving a speech that incites anger and hatred. There is no one who will not be enchanted by it.
The saintess said that the residents had already harbored enmity toward the angels and hatred toward the forces that followed the angels.
“Neckri-nim. Are there any problems with your work?”
“Except for the helmet being a little stuffy, there’s no problem. By the way, Demon King? I have a few suggestions.”
“What is?”
“Hey… We also want to look around these human cities, we want to go outside and play.”
“Ah, is that so?”
But.
I’ve come this far, but now I’m only working in the castle. Standing on top of the castle wall and looking out, you might want to go out to play.
This is not just the thoughts of the Dark Elves.
The other guys also wanted to explore the new world. I’ve been thinking of splitting this up as a couple soon, so let’s talk about it.
“I was thinking of splitting up the groups sooner or later and doing them sequentially.”
“Ah! Really!”
“Yes!”
“I’m so glad!”
Neckri shouted with a bright smile.
An army of monsters. The main task is to make humans accustomed to this. Now that the saintess is giving her speech very well, let’s trust her.
We have to make a plan so that the monsters can work freely in the human world. So she called the saint who had returned from her speech.
“Saint Maid. In order to operate here, it is necessary to expose the monster army to humans, but is that possible?”
“Honestly, it seems a little difficult.”
This.
“Still… The people of the territory are crazy about me. It might be okay if you spend a little bit of time telling the story that you made an alliance to defeat the angels.”
“Okay. Then please guide the story in that direction.”
“Okay. Huhuhu, just trust this mother. I will definitely captivate the public.”
That way, I did the things I had to do one by one.
* * *
Vanessa became a military adviser to the Demon King’s army.
“A battle between lords.”
“Yes. I know it’s completely different from the jungle. Can you explain to me how to wage war here?”
“Okay. I thought I’d ask sooner or later.
ㅡPercussion.
A map on the desk.
Above him, Vanessa put his hand.
“First of all, keep in mind. From now on, there will be no landslide victory like in the jungle.”
“I guess so.”
I know everything.
“Usually, when there is a war, there is a reason. It is a matter related to interests. If diplomacy and compromise are not resolved, the high-ranking nobles belonging to the faction are requested to mediate, but if even this does not work, a war will break out.”
“Are you saying that war is a last resort?”
“Yes. I am well aware of it.”
Vanessa explained the war between human lords.
“After declaring war on each other, the troops are summoned. Standing troops and mercenaries hired by the lord. After gathering the cavalry and forming an army… They fight each other.”
“It’s that simple.”
“But there’s a lot to think about, both about command and where to fight.”
Command
“To be honest, I think the tactics and military ideas you showed in the jungle would be very useful. Horns, flags, beacons, messengers and wizards’ luminescent magic are also useful, but it’s best for the pixies to inform them directly.”
I listened to Vanessa’s explanation.
First of all, the lord commands the army, but he said that he does not thoroughly classify and divide the troops and control them like Lee or Demon King Kim Kuls did. Listening to the story, I think it’s pretty fist-fighting.
But what can’t be done
I am a person who has lived in a modern society. It is safe to say that there is no existence in this world that can roll an army like me.
“Look at the map. Mountains and plains. And all the places that can be used as roads are marked. In this situation, the path the enemy can enter is limited. Of course, marching doesn’t end it. There is a castle here.”
Okay.
This is what sets it apart from the jungle.
There are castles in the human world. And the castle is stocked with supplies.
You don’t have to go out and fight. Because you can do Mercury. Instead, you’ll lose everything except your last name.
“But it’s rare for the lords of the periphery to drag out a long siege. It’s difficult to operate a force large enough to surround a castle, and there won’t be any reinforcements.”
“Hmm…”
“So, usually, we fight after promising to meet at a specific point. We fight for the right anyway.
Also.
Right.
After hearing the explanation, it became clear. Battles between lords do not roll with the concept of total war, such as completely destroying the other side.
Resolution of disputes.
That is what war is for. To be honest, this kind of medieval battle was a bit strange to me, having lived while knowing the history of World War II.
Of course, this is a story of a war between lords belonging to a country. A war between nations will be different.
And again, the war with angel forces will be different.
This is the most important thing.
“Okay then, Vanessa. I’ve got a rough idea. Then, as a military adviser, if you’re going to fight an angel. Please give me your opinion on how the war will unfold. Haven’t you gathered some information so far?”
Vanessa was given a mission. Go outside the castle and gather information about the war that is raging in the center.
