Chapter 548 – Return of Middle-Earth #5
The grotesque fleshy structure began to be covered with bricks. The frame is built with long wooden poles, and bricks are piled up to disguise it as a normal building.
Is this complete?
You can literally see monsters crawling out of strange buildings. If someone who doesn’t know the scene sees it, they’re sure to think there’s a summoning circle of demons inside the building.
And that person who knows the truth will disappear somewhere… Well, it doesn’t matter. You can make this place into a monster village.
Even if it’s a monster, it’s a livestock after all.
Administrative personnel are required. Let’s manage from this side. Roughly speaking, the monsters that can be produced are [Gorgon] And [Deathfind].
A Gorgon is a wild bull-like mount. It’s faster than most horses, so you should be able to train goblin cavalry.
Desfind is a 2.3m tall monster that walks on two legs, and has two heads larger than most adult males. Characteristics are long arms and long legs. And that there are vicious claws on both hands.
I will dress this Deathfind in plate armor and run it like a berserker. When I saw it in the demon realm, it seemed useful.
“Gyusat. It’s being built smoothly.”
Gyuil said cutely while opening his snout.
“Gyusat!”
“Gyusasat!”
Kobolds, skilled laborers, are carrying out the construction while showing professional movements.
It is truly pure.
“Uh. Is that a drain for waste disposal?”
“That’s right. Gyusat.”
When operating this hive, waste products are also produced. The hideous liquid will be stored somewhere and used to erode the earth.
Soil that has been exposed to such unclean things for a long time will literally become demonic. But I don’t want to put something like that near my house, and I’m thinking of using it to make a base a little further away.
So, you need to know how to use everything effectively.
Hehe, as expected, Kyuil is good at it.”
“I’m the best at nogada in the middle world. Gyusat.”
“You are indeed right.”
ㅡ rattle.
In the meantime, additional materials have arrived. A wagon loaded with bricks and materials.
The kobolds carried out the work while loading and unloading quickly, and it wasn’t long before a rough outline was caught.
“Okay! Take a break!”
“Gyusat!”
If this is enough, I’ll be able to build it myself when I go back. So let’s try to put it into practice.
“I’m going to test the hive! Someone to go with!”
“Doesn’t exist!”
“Not Serinyu. Really?”
“Huh!”
ㅡ It’s cheap.
Rarely, everyone turned their heads at my words and pretended not to know. No… Do you hate that? I hate that hive, but I can use it to my advantage.
“Well, this must also be the loneliness of the monarch. Go and come.”
So I entered the half-built building. But going in doesn’t mean much. You have to get into the crevices of the Flesh Hive and get inside.
ㅡ Hwareuk.
It immediately lights a fire with magical power and illuminates the surroundings. It feels like entering the belly of an animal.
In front of it, there were all sorts of wriggling coffins and whatnot, and when I thought about it, I heard that there are many professionals who go into these hives and supervise the production of monsters in the Pandemonium.
What kind of life do they live?
I’ve only been in this for a few seconds and I’m already offended… Really. In Middle-earth, I lived only with pretty girls, watched erotic things, and had a lot of sex.
More women too. It’s specifically a platform for fucking women in the Empire. If I raise my troops with this and fight the empire and win, all the beauties in that huge country will all be mine.
Just think about it, Culse.
ㅡSue.
Anyway.
I put my hand in the right place and performed telepathy with this hive.
OK.
[Ugh.]
Something hums and starts to feel the will. He said he had a basic intelligence. Because we have to coordinate production.
Plus, I could feel the residual energy left in the hive. A crystal filled with life energy. There is still some power left.
“Okay. Selected objects can be produced. Then let’s start.”
In between.
ㅡFlap and flap!
Carti’s Evil Eye came in.
“Oh, Karti. Are you here?”
“Yeah! Are you going to do the long-awaited first production? Let’s see!”
“Really, you’re the only one. The other kids don’t want to see you as gross.”
“In fact, this kind of production is something that is avoided even in the demon realm. It’s mainly done by the lower class.”
“Okay?”
“Yes. It’s mainly done by lower blood relatives close to the slave class.”
“Ah.”
Yes.
What if I didn’t come from a good background, but was born into a common, low-ranking blood relative who really rolls around in the underworld?
He might have ended his life doing such terrible and hard labor in the demon realm. When I think about that, gratitude to my origin begins to bloom.
Was this also because he felt the love of the Duchess?
“Then let’s begin.”
“Huh!”
I raised my hand and let my will flow.
[Produce one Gorgon.]
OK.
ㅡBudbububububububu…!
ㅡgugu!
The hive begins to tremble.
“It’s started, Culse oppa. Right now, the nucleus, which can be called a kind of womb, is rapidly creating Gorgons.”
“Oh.”
“Can you feel the energy draining out of the hive?”
“Surely.”
I feel my energy draining all the time.
Yet.
ㅡStupidly!
A large living coffin in front of me… It was enlarged, like a cut-out section of intestine that glowed with an unpleasant red glow.
ㅡ Crying!
An adult Gorgon slid out, covered in filthy amniotic fluid!
“Huh!”
This is the power of Hive!
“So…!”
The guy makes a noise as he struggles. Then dirty amniotic fluid started to splash, and I blocked it with my magic barrier.
“Success! A Gorgon object has been produced! Culce oppa. You said you were going to make a goblin cavalry with that? It’ll be useful.”
“Hoo…”
“Give the order.”
“Good.”
Let’s get down
“Rise. Gorgon.”
Let’s order that
“Greuk.”
ㅡRemember.
The boy struggled, but eventually got up as if he had learned how to get up. No, is it an instinct already imprinted in our genes? It’s to the point that they can be deployed immediately after production.
“Keep your head down.”
“Greuk.”
The guy bows his head.
“Are you gentler than you think?”
“It’s already been designed. Become familiar with Culce’s magical power. We can’t mass-produce something that can’t be controlled like that. You’re going to be violent towards a being that doesn’t feel magical power?”
“It’s convenient.”
How do you do gene editing?
“Let’s go!”
“Huh!”
I washed the Gorgon’s amniotic fluid with my fire and rode on it. It feels like riding on a bull.
But with a bull, it’s a little different.
First of all, the horns are more demonic, the teeth are like those of carnivores, the tongue is like that of a snake, and the eyes are like those of a spider.
Instead of hooves, strong claws have grown.
“That’s it.”
Still, the kid is so pure.
ㅡRemember.
Riding the gorgon like that.
“Keruk!”
“Gyusat!”
“Wow!”
Admiration burst out.
“How about it? This is the power of the hive!”
“Awesome! Is that cool Gorgon?!”
Serenyu’s eyes light up as he puts his hands together. The admiration was so great that even the fairy wings trembled.
Hehe, yes. This is the Gorgon.”
“I want to ride too!”
“Jungnim! Me too!”
“Gyusat! I want to ride too!”
Is this popular?
“Ride in order!”
“Kyaaak!”
So my men took turns boarding the Gorgon. He wasn’t being violent at all, he was completely sullen.
“Hey! Forward!”
“Bake it.”
Still, I listen well when the rider speaks. Serinyu proficiently rides around on a Gorgon.
“Good.”
You don’t even need to train. No, it’s rather the rider who needs training. It is perfect.
From now on, I would like to put one at school or boot camp and let the kids ride it whenever time permits.
“That’s great. That kind of thing just came out. Is this the power of the Demon World?”
“Exactly, Reika.”
“It might be possible to conquer an empire.”
“Sure.”
Impossible things don’t even start.
“But, Culce oppa, I’ve used up all the energy. To create more, I’ll have to earnestly gather life energy. Or, I’ll have to radiate magic regularly.”
“It should be.”
However, the actual energy consumption is rather large.
In terms of a warhorse, it is like receiving only the fruits of raising, feeding, and training a newborn horse.
It is like buying resources with time.
“But.”
Even if resource efficiency is a bit low, for our monarchs, time is an absolute value that cannot be exchanged for anything.
Saving time by pouring money is something everyone wants. I have an absolute advantage in being able to do that.
Resource?
Anyway, the rule has been stabilized, and crystals are gathering not only in the country but also in Shar-Oud. If you work well, it will be possible in Elf country.
It’s difficult because the belief in the world tree is spreading among the elves, but the leadership, including the empress, is already on my side. Still, it was a bit difficult to fool the general population of elves.
Anyway, just keep going like this.
Without being invaded separately, you just need to build up your strength stably and fight against the empire.
“Sooner or later I’ll have to hit the small kingdoms.”
After completing the combat training using these monsters, I plan to occupy the small kingdoms nearby.
Increase combat experience and increase population.
Not very perfect
“Bake it!”
Gorgon looked very powerful. What cavalry could stop that? What if even Deathfind was produced? It must be very powerful.
“Okay then, I’ll go back! Gyuil-ah! Send the kids and report when the construction is over!”
“Gyusat! I understand!”
Those days passed.
