Episode 180: This Is Cavalry (1)

“Have you arrived?”

“Mother, I greet Duchess Keraxis.”

She took a step back and bowed slightly. Recently, Karuti felt she was often summoned like this.

She was following the angels to report on many things.

“Was the experiment successful?”

“Yes, it was successful.”

At the news of a successful experiment.

“That’s fortunate.”

Duchess Keraxis’s eyes crinkled.

It was a very important experiment.

“Yes, definitely.”

Right after the angels of the High Heavens successfully descended into the middle realm, they began strengthening the dimensional barriers.

As a result, beings with an excessive amount of magic power were repelled by the barrier while crossing it. Of course, they couldn’t be bounced back exactly to where they were.

They ended up drifting somewhere between dimensions.

Because of this, they were essentially unable to send any effective forces. Of course, this also meant that powerful angels could not easily descend, but the High Heavens had already taken control of the middle realm.

They intend to block the demonic invasion completely and proceed with their own tasks. If there were no demons, the angels who had been deployed earlier would have been able to establish a stable position.

Naturally, such a barrier could be destroyed if time and resources were invested, but currently, there is a shortage of both.

“Well done.”

Thus, Karuti’s successful experiment was encouraging.

Karuti had modified creatures similar to Evil Eyes, engineering them to gather information from the middle realm by bypassing the angels’ barriers and cultivating them.

This first generation of modified Evil Eyes successfully gathered information and returned.

“Even though it was an experiment, deploying several Evil Eyes allowed us to obtain significant information. Ah, to explain the method beforehand.”

A mother creature, imbued with a spell to return to the Demon Realm, was sent to the middle realm. Immediately, it created clouds to conceal its form and dispersed the Evil Eyes around.

The dispersed Evil Eyes were deployed to various locations to gather information and return to the mother creature. Then, the mother creature, marked with a return spell, was brought back to the Demon Realm.

The information was extracted by splitting open the Evil Eyes’ heads and extracting their brains.

“By the way, the mother creature, modified from angels to trick the barrier, worked well. Thanks to the preliminary knowledge provided by Kyuse Bellacruel, we were able to gather information more smoothly than expected.”

With the coordinates and information sent by Kyuse, they gathered data on the human realm’s language, general geography, nation names, and power structures.

Having known that, the compiled information revealed a very meaningful fact.

“That’s very good news. So, what information did you gather?”

“The most important point is… the angels of the High Heavens successfully contacted the human kingdom’s leadership and religious factions. They also appeared before the human masses.”

At those words,

“…”

Duchess Keraxis paused silently.

“The reaction?”

“Not good. As expected, the humans showed strong support for the angels. It’s hard to say without observing more, but if this continues…”

The implication was clear.

It meant the angels were gaining influence in the middle realm. The ongoing battles between the High Heavens and the Demon Realm had been evenly matched, but if the angels gained strength in the middle realm, the Demon Realm would no longer be a match.

It would be ideal to use this as an opportunity to launch an all-out attack on the High Heavens, but that is impossible for the divided demonic factions. Certainly, some would try to invade weakened territories while others attacked the angels. The presence of the angels as a formidable adversarial force allowed for some unity, but without that, the alliance would crumble.

“Not good. But you did well, Karuti.”

“…Yes.”

“Continue your reconnaissance.”

“Understood.”

With that, Karuti left the audience room. There wasn’t even time for praise.

“…”

Returning to her room, Karuti exclaimed.

“Ah! Really!”

While hugging a doll placed beside her.

“Kyuse, what are you doing!”

She screamed.

“Always doing sex! Always sexsexsexsexsexsexsexsex and more sex! And sex and again sex! More and more sex! Always sex! All day long, just sex! Continuously sex! Do you realize how dangerous the situation is right now! Always doing sex, really!”

Kyuse was establishing his own force in the middle realm.

Although he had made considerable achievements, he still could not properly contend with even a single human lord. How could he then oppose the angels? Kyuse still had a long way to go.

“Do you really like sex that much! Eh! Aren’t you tired of sex! Doing sex all day and then again the next day…!”

Of course, it’s natural for Kyuse to strengthen his power through sexual acts, which was rather diligent of him, but knowing the rough situation, Karuti could only feel frustrated.

They needed to speed up. They needed to increase their power more quickly. Kyuse needed to do more now.

“We need to support him…!”

Fortunately, they were somewhat prepared now, both herself and Kyuse. Both were ready.

With a bit more resources and improved spells, they could support Kyuse, who was having a good time with females in the middle realm.

Perhaps they could inform Kyuse about the operations of the human world, the activities of angels in the middle realm, and the human territories surrounding Kyuse’s dungeon.

They could also provide him with resources or technology from the Demon Realm.

With such support, Kyuse might perform even better.

That was Karuti’s thought after observing Kyuse’s actions so far.

“Really frustrated because you can’t have sex! Kyuse, you’re doing it again!”

On the screen, Kyuse was assaulting a captured sorcerer. It was unimaginable how many more females he might assault.

However, there was one crucial piece of information: Kyuse could even demonize angels, and these demonized angels seemed to follow him quite loyally.

There were many angelic captives in the Demon Realm. Providing such captives to Kyuse could be highly beneficial.

“Then he would happily engage in sex all day long again!”

Karuti was exasperated.

Snake Den.

“Ah.”

It was literally a den of snakes.

I found myself lying in such a den.

—Kyaaa…

—Kyeeeu…

Naked lamias were strewn all around, gasping and moaning throughout the long night. I managed to inscribe the Womb Seal on all seven lamia warriors following Princess Juria.

It was so exhausting I thought I might die. They all squeezed me tightly. And it wasn’t just that; the excited lamias either squeezed the lamia squeezing me or squeezed both of us at the same time; I truly thought I was going to die.

Still, well done, Kyuse. You subdued all the snake women in one night. I couldn’t help but feel proud and impressed with myself.

Anyway,

Now that the Womb Seal was inscribed, these lamia warriors would surely obey my commands. And the training content was already prepared. I had the hobgoblins create the arms that the lamia cavalry will use.

Training could commence tomorrow.

“Ugh…!”

But today, I needed to rest. I was really tired from being squeezed by lamias all night. Even I couldn’t handle such exotic sex for hours without getting exhausted.

—Koong!

“Y-you bastard…!”

“Master!”

At that moment, Sister Reika and Sharan burst in.

With very worried expressions.

“Ah. Reika. Sharan.”

“It’s okay!”

I was… okay…

“I’ll be better after a day’s rest…”

Let’s get some sleep for now.

The next day.

I seriously trained the lamia cavalry.

“Goblin squad! Form up!”

“Kerrrrrgh!”

—Click!

The goblins skillfully build a barrier.

“Wow.”

“Fast.”

“Not bad.”

The lamia warriors admired it.

“Isn’t it good? Such a solid wall isn’t easy to overcome.”

“Indeed impressive. I heard about it before, but this is something else.”

Juria covered her mouth with her hand as she spoke.

“If you train under me, all can do it like this, Lady Juria. This is a question, but how do you think we should break through?”

“Hmm.”

Upon hearing this, Juria and the lamias thought.

“Break through. How?”

“Long spears. We need long spears.”

“From a distance. Throw stones.”

Ordinary answers.

“Hehehe, throwing stones, not a bad idea.”

Lamia catapults might be worth considering. But that seemed a bit wasteful. Just as I was about to say this, Juria replied.

“Could we just go around it?”

“Oh! Exactly that!”

“What?”

“Breaking the formation! The simplest method is for the fast-moving cavalry to flank it! You got it right!”

“Hehehe, seems I answered correctly. Thank you.”

Today, I had two things to train the lamias on.

One was to practice breaking formations by flanking, and the other was to initiate a sweeping charge with the lamias waiting behind the goblin formations at a specific location. Another thing was to gather lamias hidden throughout the jungle using pixies and then launch another sweeping charge.

They were already trained to attack in a single line at once. The lamias were intelligent enough to understand such things.

So, it’s time for the advanced course.

“Then, Imsoong! Go and bring the lamias’ equipment!”

“Krrk! Master! Understood! You there! Go fetch the equipment!!”

“Krrrrrrrk!”

Following Imsoong’s command, the imps scurried into the dungeon. Soon, imps accompanied by hobgoblins brought long spears and slightly larger wooden shields.

These were cavalry spears and shields made specifically for lamias.

“Oh, what’s that?”

“Lady Juria, aren’t the lamias experts of this forest?”

“Yes. They are skilled and powerful warriors and hunters.”

“Then handling spears of such length shouldn’t be a problem for those lamias, right?”

When I asked this.

“No problem.”

Sasunall, who was examining a spear, answered. It turned out she was one of Juria’s confidants.

“Hehehe, is that so? Then please take hold of that spear and shield. Once everyone’s ready, line up facing the goblin formation.”

“Understood.”

—Saralalak.

At my command, the lamias took up the spears and shields and lined up in a row.

“Wow.”

It was indeed a magnificent sight. The sight of these half-snake women holding spears and round shields like Amazonian warriors.

“Kek…! Master! The presence is no joke!”

Buril seemed to feel the same way and said so.

“Kerrk…!”

“Kerrk!”

The other goblins felt the same.

“Hehehe, right? Hey, Buril. What would you do if they all charged at you with spears at the same time?”

“Please save me, Master! We’re screwed! We need longer spears!”

Buril already realized the need for pikes!

“But that’s not the only way. Anyway! Let’s start the training!”

After training the lamia cavalry as if they were limbs of my own body,

I would conquer this jungle!
