Chapter 345 – Back to the Jungle #4
Serinyu, who had been scouting, returned and reported.
“For now, it seems like there’s nothing around! I’ll have to go farther to find out!”
“Well. If they were close by, they would have fought long ago.”
Necri and Julia said that those kingdoms lie deeper. In other words, nothing special until you get there.
You should be able to advance without a problem.
Of course, if a medium-sized monster appears, it will be a little dangerous, but with our current strength, we should be able to kill it without injury.
“That’s right! So I think we should advance further and settle down in a good place! Let’s leave the supply to the soldiers below!”
“Hey! Serinyu!”
How dare you make such a tactical decision!
“Are you able to think that far now?”
“I’m the commander. I have to judge this much.”
As if my compliment made him feel better, Serenyu puffed out his chest and placed his palm on his stomach as he spoke proudly.
I really want to bite your chest.
“You’ve grown really well, Serinyu. You’re getting stronger and smarter.”
“Of course! Because I am that kind of person! Kyahahahahaha!”
“Come on, let’s shake your chest!”
“Okay!”
ㅡRumble!
Serinyu, who answered vigorously, shook his chest right in front of my eyes.
“Because I’m watching, my strength rises! Serinyu!”
“Touch me quickly!”
“That’s right!”
You did a good job scouting, so you need a reward. I organized my thoughts while holding Serinyu’s breasts and kneading them.
I can’t help it.
I wanted to rest a bit more since I came to the dungeon, but since it turned out that there was nothing around here, I couldn’t stay still. We should advance quickly and make something to build our line.
“Neckri! Julia! This way!”
“Yes!”
Immediately, two women came running. Neckri runs and Julia approaches, slithering like a snake.
“There’s nothing nearby.”
“Of course. The kingdom is farther away.”
Neckri replied.
“That’s why. Please give me directions. We’ll be leaving soon.”
“Are you going right in?”
“There’s no need to waste time. We’ll get to it quickly, gather information, and decide whether to engage in war or strategize.”
“Huhuhu, as expected Demon King. You are thorough. I understand. I will guide you right away.”
Julia laughed like a snake and answered. Julia respects me. I was fascinated by my abilities.
“Now everyone is eating, so go and spread the word. After the meal time, start preparing for the march slowly. And we’ll start after the meal is over.”
“All right.”
If you march right after eating, it might end up on your stomach. Let’s wait for it to go over and then move on.
I went to see Jurassic.
“Jurassic.”
“Shuwak! Demon Lord!”
“First of all, bring all the battle troopers. I’ll give you some magic while you’re here.”
“Shura-la-la-rak!”
Jurassic shouted loudly and went to call the troopers. If you inject magic into it, it becomes stronger. My men know that all too well.
“I’ve collected them all, Schwak!”
“But the recruits seem a little intimidated.”
“Swak. Still stupid and low intelligence. Just dominating.”
In fact, all the new recruits looked dishonest and introverted. They have little intelligence, so they’ll just do whatever the pack leader tells them to do.
“They’ll be useful if they eat some mana. Then, to the location!”
“Swak!”
After sending the Jurassic back to its place.
ㅡPay!
ㅡGooh!
Drawing their strength, they created a magic circle of magic infusion under their feet. There was an uproar for a moment, but as soon as my strength seeped out, the guys shouted as if they were hit with mulberry.
“Shwaaaaagh!”
“Graaaaagh!”
They feel that my magic power is permeating their bodies. And intelligence began to sprout in the eyes of the recruits as well.
“Shwaaaaak! Kahak! Kuk, Kukhak? Words? Talk?”
Now, just injecting magic power like this makes me speechless. My early soldiers did it for a long time. Well, of course. The potential would be higher if it grew slowly than if it suddenly grew by magical power injection.
“Listen! I am the demon king! I am your king and ruler! I have now blessed you with my power! In the future, follow my orders and work hard! Do you understand!”
“Shwaaaaagh! Answer me! Got it!”
“Swak!”
“Grararak!”
It makes me feel better to see him responding vigorously. Okay. If you shoot magic mulberry, you should do this much.
“Then Jurassic?
“Swak, I understand.”
“And when we get back, you might have to move out too.”
“Isa? Schwak, you mean?”
“Okay.”
He immediately explained the schedule to Jurassic. That they had occupied human land, and that they might live there in the future.
“Swak…”
Jurassic was a bit taken aback by the fact that he would go to human lands and start a battle, but he was pleased with the fact that he could receive more blessings if he was physically closer to us.
“Okay!
“Okay. Among the Lizardmen, you are the most geniushehe.”
I want to quickly increase the size of my unit and return to my territory.
“…”
It is a territory where monsters live. I think it will be very good. Monsters are my absolute support base as a demon lord. As much as that, I have to pay attention to the welfare of the monsters.
Monsters are no longer just being hunted. Since they have become members of my family, they are one individual.
Later, after I rule the world, I will be able to live as a mixture of both humans and monsters. In the first place, isn’t my monster army a heterogeneous coalition of all races?
Suppose we add a species called humans to it.
If humans come under my control, they will get along just as well as monsters.
* * *
“Depart!”
They immediately marched and moved straight ahead. In the first place, the people of this town, Dark Elves and Lamia, knew most of the way, so I was able to move on without any problems.
There was a small problem with wild monsters appearing along the way, but I subdued them lightly and made them my subordinates.
“Keryaaak! Recruit hunting!”
“Kreurreuk! Knock it all out and grab it!”
“Gyusasasasat! It’s a declaration ceremony! A declaration ceremony!”
My cute subordinates who roll their eyes when they see new recruits while marching.
“Keryak!”
Of course, with the weak physical abilities of the wild monsters, they couldn’t evade the senior soldiers who wanted cute recruits, and they were immediately caught and beaten.
“Yap.”
And I rule those recruits.
“Keruk ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke reuk! It’s very good from the start! By the time you go, won’t it be made!”
Hehe, that could be the case. Anyway, I’m going to have a good time. Take good care of the new recruits so they don’t sag. And from now on, harvesting new recruits is prohibited.”
“Keryak. How can I serve?”
“Because it’s easier to do it when you come back, not when you go. Wouldn’t it be better to catch it at once when you go back rather than dragging it around from now on?”
In order to relieve the soldiers’ desire for successors for a while, they allowed the recruit-hunting. For speedy marching and efficiency, I will do the next hunt after everything is over.
I enjoyed it now, so even if it’s a bit disappointing, I’ll enjoy it.
“As expected, you are wise! Keruk! I know!”
Buril saluted vigorously.
* * *
That’s how we headed into the depths of the unexplored region while repeating rest and camp building. It can be said to be the longest march ever made.
Anyway, I’m working hard, listening to Neckri’s advice, and scouting.
“I found it!”
Serinyu, who had been scouting, flew in urgently.
“How are you?”
“We’re at war, too!”
“Where!”
“The Lamia and the Dark Elves are fighting fiercely in the front!”
“Draw it? Then you should see it for yourself. Evileye!”
Unfortunately, communication with Karti is impossible because the distance here is too far. It was because all the Evil Idols Carti sent had lost their strength in the middle.
In the meantime, they were active near our territory, so communication was easy, but if you go far away, you can’t get help.
But I can also summon Evileye.
“Summon Evil Eye!”
ㅡ Hurray.
As the sacrificed piece of meat burns, it transforms into the shape of Evileye. When I close one eye and match the wavelength, it instantly connects with my vision.
“Serineu. Let’s go and see each other.”
“Yes!”
Serinyu, who took care of my Evileye, flew up again. Feeling a bit dizzy, I covered one eye and focused on Evileye’s vision.
It’s the feeling of flying with Serinyu.
So high up
ㅡChaeng! Visor!
ㅡQuaak!
ㅡPerseok!
I heard the sounds of war.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
“Kill!”
“Defend!”
“Abduct them all!”
The scene where the Dark Elves and Lamia were fighting fiercely caught my eye.
“Oh oh.”
I was genuinely amazed.
It was like watching the battle of ancient warriors. The armaments were meager, but everyone fought bravely, giving up their flesh and spilling blood. Death row inmates who were promised amnesty on condition of victory in the arena would not fight so hard.
However.
“Though fighting spirit and bravery are perfect.”
They are poorly armed, and their tactics are far inferior to ours.
“…”
In the past, there was a cavalry unit called the Eight Flags Army, which was called the most elite warriors of the Qing Dynasty. The Eight Flags were the pride of the nomadic dynasty, combining bravery and brutality, but their horsemanship and devastating horseback fighting skills were useless in front of the Western army’s matchlock.
No matter how brave and brutal they may be, from the point of view of Western soldiers with matchlocks, they were just old-fashioned ancient warriors.
The volley charge of the cavalry of the Eight Banner Army was majestic enough to resonate with the heart, but that was all. At the same time as the matchlock guns were fired, the elite warriors of the Qing Dynasty were shattered.
“We can’t be against each other.”
The same goes for them.
Even so valiant, they are nothing more than ancient warriors. They cannot be our opponents with proper equipment and tactics.
