It had been almost ten days since my last visit to Nueridge. I flew out of the base, landing on the trees of the forest that had been cut down. My ears heard many heavy footsteps.
"Come on, this is nothing, guys!" Garthur shouted at about thirty minotaurs who were running in front of him. "Don't be pussies! This is for your stamina! You don't want to die from exhaustion on the battlefield, do you!?"
It seemed the group had been running for quite a while. Most of them looked exhausted, even sticking out their tongues, except for Garthur.
Ritor, who was leading the group, still looked strong too. He can even let out a thunderous shout. "Pay respects to Lord Vorn!!!"
"Good morning, Lord Vorn!" They greeted me in unison.
"I can't hear you!!!"
"Good morning, Lord Vorn!!!"
I waved to them. "Don't stop! Just keep going!"
"Yes, sir! Yes, sir!!!"
In my wildest dreams, I would never have guessed that I could have an army of creatures with such gigantic and formidable-looking bodies.
There aren't many of them, but I'm sure this group will be important in the war to come.
After those creatures disappeared behind the forest trees, I flapped my wings again, leaving the place. A few seconds later, I found the succubus regiment that also flying. They were making formations at high speed.
Each carried a stone the size of two human heads.
"Get ready, girls!" Xenora, trailing behind them, slashed her whip into the air. "And now!"
They dropped those boulders into an empty area lined with dummies. Loud thuds echoed as the stones hit the dummy or the ground.
"There are still some who got the timing wrong!!!" Xenora snapped as she and her troops turned around. "All of you will get three lashes from me! If anyone makes a mistake again, the punishment will be more severe!!!"
"Yes, madam!!!" Those succubi answered in unison.
Honestly, I feel like it's too much. But I don't want to interfere in Xenora's way. The one who knows about the succubi is also a succubus.
Xenora didn't seem aware of my presence, and I didn't mind it. I chose to continue my journey. She had better concentrate on training her subordinates.
Before long, I landed on a bunch of wooden dummies surrounded by mares. The little creatures are practicing biting and scratching those things. I even purposely called back the mares on duty in various cities.
It's the same with the succubus. Their main job is to seduce the opposite sex, but I use them in troops instead.
My resources are still low, so I will use all the manpower I have.
"Is everything okay?" I asked Szur who was supervising the practice. The mare general looked much better, with the fur almost covering his entire body.
"Everything is going well, Your Majesty." Szur bowed down.
"After this is over, I will ask the girls to accompany you guys." I sneered at them. "As requested by all of you."
The little creatures jumped for joy, and Szur sighed.
Well, I can't imagine what the mares and succubus would do. And I don't want to know either. Fortunately, the succubus consented because they didn't care what race they had sex with. Xenora also thinks it's an excellent practice to sharpen the ability to satisfy others' lust.
The important thing is that my women will stay away from them and will only do it with me.
I walked towards a field the Bwisters were working on and approached Lexi, standing nearby.
"Have you met my comrades, Doc?" I lined her up, looking at the workers pulverizing the soil in the distance.
Lexi fiddled with her robe, looking nervous. "Well, I've met a few of them. Everyone welcomed me very well…."
"Are you afraid of them?"
She shook her head.
I've ordered my subordinates to be nice to the doctor. She had locked herself for more than a week. So, I want to make her as comfortable as possible here. That's so she doesn't get more depressed.
"I plan to make a lot of troops for the long term. So, I need a large supply of food." I opened the conversation to make her more familiar with me. "We can't rely on everything by buying."
Instead of replying, she gulped. Her gaze shifts so many times. She seems to be getting more nervous.
"Is there anything you want to say, Doc?" I raised an eyebrow at the strange gesture. "It's okay. Come on. You can talk to me about it."
Lexi took a deep breath, then looked at me, but it only lasted a second. She lowered her head and said in a low voice. "Doing nothing all the time only makes me sadder."
"Ah, you want to distract yourself."
"I think I'm ready to do something…. Maybe research… And its implementation."
This is a good sign.
I rubbed my chin. "What's on your mind?"
"A long time ago, there was research on improving crops with demon elements. The yield will not increase, but the duration until it can be harvested will be much shorter. The plants also don't need irrigation, as well as being resistant to diseases and pests. However, the taste can only be enjoyed by demons…. Sorry, I spoke too long."
"Interesting." For no apparent reason, the doctor's awkward expression made me want to laugh. "Well, I'll give you a plot of land to experiment with first."
She looked at me with sparkling eyes, though she still looked nervous. "Is that true?"
"Yeah." I gave a thumbs up. "I will give you whatever materials or equipment you ask for, but I have one condition."
Her face began to stiffen. "What is it, Lord Vorn?"
I waited for the group of succubi to pass above us, giving a fairly loud rumble. Then, it was followed by the thud of falling rocks.
"Can you make something that explodes when you drop it?" I asked.
The doctor fixed her glasses. "Well, I'm basically a doctor, and other than that, I only studied demonology…. But I'm also learned about medicinal ingredients that explode if they're wrongly processed. Maybe we can use those things…. Sorry, I explained too much again."
I was about to reply to the doctor, but I saw Emily coming towards me with two figures behind her…. Huh? Are they walking skeletons?
"I didn't expect you to come home so soon…." I hadn't finished speaking when the supreme undead pulled me away from Lexi.
"I made the undeads carry us while sleeping. So, I don't need to stop to rest." She hissed. "One of the shapeshifters who proposed that. I think that's brilliant."
That woman then pulled me to hide behind a tree.
"Haven't you had enough yet?" She whispered in a sharp tone.
I frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Is three still not enough for you? You already want the fourth one!"
