Episode 182: This Is Cavalry (3)

Time passed in this manner.

To prepare for unforeseen circumstances, I continued to stock up on supplies, conduct military training, expand the dungeon interior, and restructure the organization.

With more people than before, establishing a foundation didn’t take long. Once the foundation was set, proceeding with anything became quite simple.

For example, Juria, having learned from me, now led the lamias in training, conducted reconnaissance, and gained experience through hunting. It’s like setting it to auto.

And to my female bodyguards, I delegated several tasks I used to handle myself. This had significantly reduced my burden. After all, if you had people, you should use them.

“Ms. Ruby, are you managing the calculations well?”

“Ah… Yes.”

Ruby, the magician.

Since she was clever, I gave her a special task. Ruby has been calculating how much food the members of the dungeon consume.

“I check it daily and make charts…”

“Yes, just keep doing that.”

Now, I needed to manage the food systematically.

“Be careful with the paper usage, as we might run out.”

“I, I’ll be careful…”

Actually, we don’t have paper. We lack the technology to produce it. Fortunately, a notebook and something resembling a pen were found among Ruby’s belongings.

That’s really fortunate.

“Hehehe, I’m very proud of you, Ms. Ruby. Every time I see you, I think you do many things well. You’re competent.”

“Yes, wha?!”

Startled by the sudden praise, Ruby trembled.

Swoosh.

With that, her ample breasts hidden under the robe jiggled. Later, if we took over human territories, maybe we should design uniforms specifically for women? That would be nice.

“It’s not that I’m particularly good at it…! Anyone could do this if they learn how…!”

As I patted her on the head while giving praise, Ruby’s face turned red, and she became flustered, not knowing what to do.

She’s timid, so even simple praise elicited such a reaction.

“But you are good at it.”

“…”

Such an easy woman to handle, or so I heard. She even masturbated quietly. If it was not a combat role, a quiet woman was preferable. They’re even quiet during sex.

“Good.”

Anyway.

Soon, I planned to create a proper farm outside the dungeon. As the size of the troop grew, so did the consumption of food.

Until now, we managed with hunting and simple husbandry, but since bringing in the lamias, our food situation had worsened.

Thinking this, I headed outside the dungeon.

“Keureuk! The Master has arrived! Everyone halt! Salute!”

“Keureuk!”

“Keureuk!”

The goblins training at the parade ground in front of the dungeon saluted me. Let’s call Buril over.

“Hey. Rest. Rest comfortably. Goblins, sit down for a break. Buril, come to your brother.”

“Keureuk! As you say!”

Tap tap tap.

Buril came running.

This kid had grown quite a bit recently but still looked cute every time I see him.

“How’s it going, Buril? Can you handle it?”

“Keureuk. Master. May I speak honestly?”

“No. Don’t.”

“Keurung! Oh, Master! Why do you say that! Keurung! Aren’t I a part of the Demon Castle!”

“Ah. Don’t speak.”

“Please! Please listen! Honestly, it’s uncomfortable!”

“No. Why. What’s uncomfortable about that?”

“Vanessa is human! Keureuk!”

That’s right.

I had put Vanessa in charge of military training. Vanessa was a knight. Although she was caught somewhat clumsily, that’s unavoidable. Anyway, she was the most experienced among us.

And she continued to watch me train, and also understood this jungle while fighting alongside us in this place.

That was why I assigned Vanessa to the role.

Although the goblins were disgruntled, they obeyed my orders well. Vanessa was diligently performing the task I had given her.

“Does it bother you that she’s human?”

“Keureuk! Yes, it does! Moreover, I’m a senior, Keureuk! Receiving orders as a senior… It feels strange!”

“Hehehe, strange indeed. Ah, your vocabulary is really cute.”

I understood their complaints.

“I know. I know all about it. That you’re dissatisfied.”

I said this while placing my hand on Buril’s head.

“But still, Buril. Vanessa has been in this profession the longest among us. She also has more experience dealing with humans than we do. What Vanessa does is what humans do.”

Why did we have knights? They were there to fight. Against whom? Against enemies. And in the human world, those enemies were usually humans.

“Keureuk… I understand that.”

“Right. You know it well. So try to understand a bit. It’s just help with training. Isn’t she actually doing well?”

“Keureuk.”

Buril nodded his head.

“If we need to defeat humans, we should use everything we can. Humans might attack us soon, so we need to be prepared.”

“Keurung.”

“Alright. I’ll infuse more magical power into you. Tell the others to do well, okay? I’ll also increase the goblins’ personal maintenance time.”

“Keureuk! As Master wishes!”

“Hehehe, such a cute kid.”

Buril then returned to the troops. Next, I called Vanessa.

“How is it going? Are you managing well?”

“There seems to be some dissatisfaction, but they are following well.”

“Well done. Just keep instructing them like that. Infantry is the basic of combat, isn’t it? I trust you, Vanessa, a competent knight.”

“Ha… It feels strange to be trusted by the Demon King.”

Was it because it feels like becoming one of the Demon King’s Four Heavenly Kings?

“Is it a strange feeling?”

“What?! Wait! Ohhh♥”

I firmly grabbed her buttocks, and Vanessa, lifting her head, puckered her lips and clenched her thighs.

“By the way, Vanessa, I saw your name on today’s sex duty roster. Are you excited? I too want to feel a bit strange today.”

“What, what are you expecting? Let go of my ass! Ohhh♥”

Squish squish.

Usually, it’s fine, but ‘being touched by me’ makes her react this way even if it’s just touching her buttocks.

After touring the training ground like that, I went inside.

“Gyusat. Gyusat.”

“Gyusat-sat.”

“Ah, loyalty. You’ve been working hard.”

The kobolds are busily scurrying about, saluting me as I return the salute and head up to the second floor, which is under expansion.

“Sha-a! Master!”

Sharan, who was doing plastering work on the ceiling, jumped down.

“Ah, Sharan. Working hard?”

“Working very hard with Gyuil-ah!”

“Hehehe, well done. Ah? You’re too cute.”

“Sha-a!”

She stopped working and acted cutely, which was extremely adorable. I squeezed Sharan’s cheeks while praising Gyuil.

“Gyuil! You’ve worked hard! Truly the best at hard labor, the best!”

“Gyusat. Thank you for the praise. But, Master, the more subordinates we have, the stronger we become.”

“Want more subordinates?”

“Gyusat-sat.”

“Alright. I’ll increase them soon.”

“Thank you. Gyusat.”

Look at this greed for more subordinates. Maybe he’d become the kobold company commander soon.

That’s how I toured the dungeon. Elsewhere, the hobgoblins were working diligently.

“Oh! Sister Reika! Are you managing well?”

“Hey! You! Just assign these tasks!”

Reika, annoyed by the troublesome tasks.

“What? No. What are you talking about? Weren’t medieval nuns known for growing and managing their own estates? It’s not like nuns just pray all day. They run convents and work to sustain their lives.”

“That may be true, but…”

“The era of just enjoying life is over. Sister Reika, please work hard.”

“Tch.”

“Of course, the same goes for the night. Work hard during the day and night until you’re broken for me…”

“Shut up!”

“Kikikiki.”

It’s fun to tease.

Currently, the nuns in the dungeon are managing the produced goods and organizing necessary items or directing work to the hobgoblins. It’s really convenient to distribute all my tasks like this.

“Let’s see. Imsoongi went out hunting, the pixies are in reconnaissance training, and the lamias have also gone out…”

“Lumica is expanding the aqueducts.”

“Right. Then, Sharan, let’s go have a look.”

“Yes, Master.”

The operation of the dungeon is solidly established. I issue work orders and checks to the commanders, then attend to my own tasks.

It’s perfect.

“Lord Demon King, I have something to report.”

“Oh, what is it, Juria?”

“Actually…”

Juria began her report.

While training the lamia cavalry and hunting in the jungle, she encountered a familiar green-skinned race.

They were orcs.

Scouting revealed there were about twenty orcs. Juria said she could handle twenty orcs herself, especially with the lamia troops at her disposal.

Orcs are usually prey for the lamias. However, even as prey, they must fight for their lives. The threat these enemies pose remains unchanged.

“That’s good. You’ve reported very well. If you encounter such situations again, scout properly and let me know, just like now.”

“Understood, Demon King.”

“Could you lower yourself a bit?”

“What?”

Swoosh.

Juria lowered her body, and I placed my hand on her head.

Stroke stroke.

And then I stroked her.

“Praise, praise. Well done.”

“Ah, ah…”

Rustle.

At the same time, her tail wagged, clearly pleased. Her eyes also began to close. She’s like a big cat.

“Ah… And. The tactical training that Lord Demon King taught us… was very. Really very useful. We could hunt faster and with less danger than before…”

“That’s right? That’s what tactics and training are for.”

“Yes…”

Juria smiled, clearly pleased.

“Other lamias who don’t understand this… they couldn’t beat us. Clearly.”

“Hehehe, you’ve seen correctly. Well, since the orcs have appeared.”

“What do you plan to do?”

“We must subdue them. Starting tomorrow.”

Last time, lacking the confidence to defeat the orcs, we took advantage of a human army, but not this time.

We would crush the orc tribe and prove our combat strength.

Besides, we couldn’t just leave a race like orcs alone. They consumed a lot. We couldn’t share the same territory with them. Reducing their numbers would allow me to maintain my cavalry more efficiently.

“Then we must prepare to deploy.”
