Chapter 373 – Battle With the Count #2
“Uh.”
If you’ve enjoyed everything you enjoy, then you should get down to business.
“Ah ae ae ae…!”
First of all, this mobile meatball-type fortress that Carti gave me. I decided to put this on hold for the time being. I thought of using this to expand my castle, but it’s not necessary right now. If you can use it in a big war, there’s nothing better than that.
You can also use a tactic of encircling the enemy by creating a fort in the back after luring the enemy.
It’s a chew item, so let’s save it.
And recruits.
“Haaaaap!”
“Keryaaaaagh!”
Each commander is training a large number of new recruits. However, there are too many troops and there are not enough training grounds.
So, in the empty lot outside the castle, Sharan is using Sharan to set up a simple wooden fence and train by race.
ㅡflutter!
“Don’t use me as wings, demon lord!”
“I’ll write some.”
“Eee!”
I am currently observing the training grounds from the air while holding Lyriel.
“Kerak! Keruk!”
As a proven race, the goblins are well trained. It’s clumsy, but it’s something I can’t help because I’m a new recruit. Still, it is admirable to see such a large army moving in unison.
“Haaaaap!”
The Dark Elf female warriors were showing even greater motivation, because they had a history of crushing defeats in our army. They are undergoing military training diligently after being told that they can become as strong as us who defeated them.
Currently, it is the highest performing among the three races.
Well, the kobolds and imps are doing just fine. Since kobolds are auxiliary soldiers or sappers, there is no need to allocate much for combat training, and since imps are mobile strike-type long-distance throwers, all they have to do is run, throw, and make fireballs well.
Hehe, good.”
Anvils and hammers are getting harder.
“The recruits are being made into soldiers, Liriel-nim. If they all grow up, the angels will be no big deal.”
“I have something to tell you about him.”
“What is it?”
“If I absorb all the angelic forces… I want you to make me the queen of angels!”
“Yes?”
What is Ririel dude talking about now?
“I want to be queen too! If you, demon lord, eat all the angels in Middle-earth, you’ll need an angel bread! I’ll be the queen of angels!”
“Did you see such a cute angel? Liriel-sama. Did you want to become a queen?”
“Of course!”
ㅡNodding!
Liriel nodded violently.
In fact, Lexabella is also a warrior who fights on the frontline, not a commander, because the horse is the queen. The supreme commander is Neckri.
“Hasn’t Serinyu also become a queen!”
“That’s an honorary position, but..Hehe, well, I understand. I’ll capture the enemy angel commander and make him Ririel-sama’s subordinate, and Ririel-sama, I’ll make you queen!”
“Thank you!!! Thank you so much, demon lord!!! Demon lord, you made my wish come true!!!”
Liriel, who had lost her old Nazi look and felt a bit like an innocent idiot, sobbed and thanked me.
The more you look at it, the cuter it gets.
“Let’s go back, Liriel. No. Angel Queen (Jin) Liriel!”
“I get it!!!”
If you capture the angel commander, you should steal the clothes and accessories and give them all to Ririel. Oh but fuck Come to think of it, the fundamental reason why I went to war like this was because of the angels.
Decided.
The angel commander should be my pet.
* * *
“Culce oppa. Are you going to war with the Count in earnest now? Middle-earth occupation is just around the corner!”
“Not yet. First of all, Julia has to come. I don’t want to go to war without my cavalry.”
Lamia are very powerful impact hammers. You need Lamia to eat enemy troops, so you will participate in the war then.
Of course, now that I’ve returned, I’m sending all sorts of supplies to that castle. When only Julia comes, she should start right away and wipe it out.
“Yes. If only Lamia came, we would be able to destroy all the Count’s forces attacking the castle. If we cut down the Count’s strength and attack, even as an angel, we will have no choice but to contribute to eliminating one competitor.”
“On the contrary, wouldn’t we just watch the two of us fight?”
“Well, maybe.”
The Count is now sandwiched in the middle.
If I hit the count, will the angel hit the count? Or should we just leave it alone and aim for a reduction of the two forces?
Both are likely. If you choose the former, the Count will surely be destroyed in a short period of time, and if you choose the latter, the Count will be destroyed a bit later.
It will depend on the circumstances of the angels.
“But Carti. Isn’t there a possibility that the count will conclude an alliance with the angel?”
“Eh, the possibility of that would be low. If it had been done, it would have been sooner. And even if the alliance was voted on now, there would be no way the angels would leave the Count alone. The Count would know that too.”
Angels are a race comparable to demons in terms of evil.
The Count knows that, so he must have fought to the end.
“Culce oppa. Why don’t you bring the count down instead? If you put pressure on him, the count might give up.”
“There is such a way. Whatever it is, the count has to be eliminated.”
I can’t believe it’s not a woman.
Whatever it is, if the enemy commander is a woman, she can be made mine. But you can’t do that with men. So, if the enemy is a man, there is no choice but to crush it.
Above all, the Count is a guy with good abilities and a great desire for power. Could he have such a bastard as his subordinate? A guy like that isn’t the guy to go under anyone by nature. He’s trying to be on top.
“I don’t accept loyalty to my monsters or women.”
“Um, what can I do?”
That’s how I had a tactical talk with Carti.
“Ah, Culse oppa. But apparently, dimensional monsters have appeared here and there in the middle world.”
“What?!”
Did those bastards show up again?
“Where?!”
“Don’t be surprised. It’s not around here. Middle-earth is wide, isn’t it? A country outside of this kingdom where Culse oppa is located. It is assumed that it appeared there.”
“Ah.”
Okay.
Outside of this kingdom there are other nations.
It would be a good thing for me if the dimensional demons had fallen there. We don’t have to worry about it, but it’s draining your power.
“Because there are no angels there yet. Humans will take care of it by themselves.”
“I guess so.”
“But if it can’t be solved… It will emerge as a new Middle-earth demon force. But due to the results of the experiment in the last battle, it turns out that they don’t have intelligence. Then they’re not a threat.”
Hmm.
“However, the problem is that it can become food for the demons who came as follow-up runners. If the dimensional monsters expand their influence, that place will become the soil for the demons.”
I guess so.
“Currently, other demons are also planning to invade Middle-earth. Our bloodline is leading the way now, but no one knows what will happen in the future. Culse oppa. If we take over this kingdom, we must keep the demons in check from now on.”
“Yes. That’s what it should be. Don’t worry. If you and I work together, Karti, is there anything we can’t do?”
“That’s right!”
So let’s join forces.
“Oh, but what about my mother?”
“Yes. I’m busy these days. I’ll be in touch soon, but I’ll let you know when the time is right.”
“Okay.”
Ended contact with it.
* * *
Baron Helson.
Currently, this place is being rebuilt at my command. Except for the Dark Elf female warriors who came under my command, all other Dark Elves have moved to this land and are working hard to live here in the future.
“Shuwak, shwak.”
“Grack.”
Dark elves work, and lizardmen and hobgoblins supervise it. First of all, the collapsed buildings are cleaned up, and the intact buildings are cleaned.
It also restores damaged roads.
There.
“Okay, Rumika! Here it is!”
It revitalizes cultivated land that has been neglected in the meantime.
“Okay!”
“Char!”
Holding hands with Rumika and Sharan, they go around neglected farmland to fertilize the soil and reorganize waterways.
“Maang-nim. This is enough to grow well. Char.”
Hehe, is that so? Sharan as expected!”
“Praise me too.”
“Rumika is so pretty too!”
Well, then, if you’ve done the maintenance, you’ll have to put in the labor force.
“Rilkana!”
“Yes! Demon Lord!”
“Let’s farm here from now on. You can hire people and appoint them as farmers.”
“All right!”
“Ask for help from Jurassic and Lumpy, too. They’re really expert farmers.”
“I’ll do as you say.”
“Do as instructed. If you do well, I will bring you back to the castle.”
“Yes…!”
Lil’ Kana wants to be by my side, but she has work to do. The mission is to rebuild Baron Helson and settle the Dark Elves.
They say that if you do that well, you’ll be able to stay by my side, so you’re just demonstrating your leadership well.
That way.
Do what needs to be done.
* * *
“Hmm. There are ten warriors worthy of being called great warriors.”
The Dark Elf warriors closest to Lexabella. Their number was ten in total. There are more Dark Elves who can handle mana, but they are not strong enough to become warriors.
I’ve picked it up separately, but I won’t be able to use it usefully yet. Still, the great warriors and sorceresses can be used as full power right away.
Now, only Julia will come and fight the Count, and then she will put in real combat.
“There’s also Churel.”
“Shhhhh”
The Dark Elf elite troops and Churel, the former Queen of Lamia who went mad. And even Julia’s lancers. The power is just gorgeous.
The thought of using this already makes my happiness circuit explode.
“Great.”
That’s how you organize your troops and establish your strategy.
“Char! Maang! Julia is back!”
“Ohh! Finally!”
Finally, Julia is back from her duties in her jungle!
ㅡChohak!
I immediately removed the curtains and looked outside.
“Oh my gosh!”
ㅡ woogle woogle.
The sight of the lamia holding spears standing in a row caught my eye.
“Sharan! Let’s leave immediately!”
Now the war with the count begins!
