Episode 220: The Saintess Under Holy Torture (10)

The full-scale guerilla training had begun.

“Kerrk! Kerruuk…!”

“Follow me! Kerrk!”

“Kerruuuuk!”

Everyone was running hard and overcoming the terrain as I had instructed. However, they were not combat experts yet. They occasionally collapsed, making dying noises.

“Kerruuk! Sorry, Karrk! Sorry! Master! Buril! Kerrk!”

“Kerr, Kerr, Kerruuk…!”

“Get up! Kerrk! The Master is watching!”

It was high-intensity training.

Of course, it was extremely tough. Even for goblins who had diligently trained in formation drills and physical conditioning, continuously climbing trees, descending cliffs, crawling, and moving at high speed was very difficult.

The exhausted ones cried out apologies. I understood them all. I followed behind these subordinates and encouraged them.

“It’s alright! It’s only natural to find it tough at first! Everyone struggles at the beginning!!!”

I didn’t just berate them blindly. My subordinates strived to be my strength. Why would I do something unfair to such subordinates?

“This can be improved step by step! It’s only tough because it’s the first day! Just getting here is already a great achievement! So let’s take a short break! We’ll gather our strength here and set off again!”

When I shouted this,

“Kerrk…!”

“Kerrung!”

“Master! Kerraaak!”

The goblins looked at me with tears of emotion, crying out.

“Everyone lie down! Rest!”

ㅡKeryaaaak!

Many goblins had already collapsed, and their morale was low, but with just one speech, their morale and fighting spirit were reignited.

The condition of a capable commander was to seize the hearts of the soldiers.

Naturally, goblins couldn’t become masters of guerilla warfare in one day. I knew their limits very well.

“Listen while you rest! Don’t lose your will just because you’re exhausted now! I never intended to make you experts in jungle warfare in one day! I will make you stronger step by step!”

“Kerrk…!”

“So, those who are exhausted now! Feel your limits and strive to break through them! Got it?”

“Kerruuuuk!”

“Then lie down! My proud soldiers!”

The goblins lay down and took a combat rest. What was combat rest? It meanstresting as comfortably as possible to recover strength quickly.

I was proud.

With my subordinates, there was nothing to fear. These guys would not only master the phalanx formation but also become elite soldiers who cpi;d execute special forces-like infiltration missions with ease.

“Kerrk…! Master!”

At that moment, Buril called me, lying sprawled out.

I saw this guy… He was shedding tears. Tears of emotion!

“What’s wrong, Buril?”

“Kerrk, Master! I will follow you forever! Kerrruuuk!”

“As if you haven’t been following! Yes, Buril! Let’s go! To the path of the strongest!”

“Kerraaaak!”

Although he has grown bigger and become a good killer, Buril is my cute little brother. Let’s go. Let’s go further! Become stronger with me!

In this way, we continued our guerilla training.

“Meal time!”

While training, I heard Lilriel’s voice from afar.

“Oh, you flew here?”

I saw Lilriel using her angel wings to fly. I had entrusted the meal distribution to the kobolds and Lilriel.

“It’ll be here soon!”

“Good. Well done, Lilriel. Stay and eat with us since you’re here.”

“Got it.”

—Flap.

Lilriel flapped her wings and landed, and I gave her another order.

“Lilriel. Fly around and tell everyone that the meal is here and to return. They’re all training now.”

“Hmm, alright. They must be having a hard time, working so diligently.”

“Yes, they are working very hard.”

Lilriel flew off immediately.

“Hehehe, she’s become so calm.”

These days, she listened well and had blended into the unit. She used to be a troublesome soldier who always talked about inferior species, but now she has completely become part of the family.

As I waited, the unit began to return.

“Haa… Haa… Dark Elf Squad. Returned. But two are injured…”

“Is it serious?”

“It’s just bruises. But it looks like the ligaments are slightly strained, so they can’t continue the training.”

“Then exempt those personnel from training. Good job.”

Expecting no injuries from such training would be too unrealistic. Soon, the dark elves carried the injured ones.

“Are you alright?”

“Yes… It hurts a bit, but… I can manage.”

It looked quite painful.

“You are exempt from today’s training, so take a rest. You’ve worked hard, Dark Elf.”

“Oh…!”

As I gently patted her face, the dark elf’s face turned red. Cute girl. The dark elves were almost all charmed by me.

“Anyway. Nekri. The dark elves are doing very well?”

“It’s what we always do.”

The dark elves executed the training better than the goblins. They were naturally agile. They also had decent stamina. Though a few collapsed, Nekri decided to lower the pace slightly to maintain steady progress rather than having more collapse.

“Indeed, their physicality is good.”

Despite the image that they were weak because they were easily defeated by us, individually, the physicality of the dark elves surpassed that of ordinary humans.

They would make excellent special guerrilla forces.

“Gyusat! Master! We’ve arrived!”

“Oh. Gyui, you’re here!”

Gyuil is not here; it’s Gyui. Gyuil went to the farmland side. The kobolds brought carts filled with food.

“Gyusatsat. Gyusam has arrived too.”

“Gyusat. Gyusat.”

“Great job. Sit down. Let’s eat together.”

“Gyusatsat.”

Then, the goblins also arrived.

“Kerrk! Master! We’ve arrived!”

“Yes, come quickly and eat!”

“Shasha. Master?”

“What’s up, Sharan?”

“Should I pick some fruit? Everyone might want something sweet.”

“What a thoughtful girl! Please do, Sharan!”

“Shasha!”

Sharan spread her arms like an airplane and ran toward the trees.

“She’s so cute.”

So, we started preparing the meal. As soon as Sharan returned with an armful of fruit, we began eating.

“Guys! You all did a great job today! I can see that everyone worked very hard! At this rate, you will become stronger quickly!”

“Kerrk!”

“After we eat and rest a bit, let’s take a slow lap around and then head back! Great job!”

“Kerrk! Understood, Master!”

“Buril, how do you feel about the guerrilla training?”

“Honestly, it’s damn tough! But if we finish it, we’ll definitely get stronger! Kerrk!”

“Hehehe! That’s the spirit! After hard work comes the reward! You will all become stronger than before!”

ㅡKeryaaaaaaaak!

Indeed, there’s nothing better than a meal after hard training!

While I was training my soldiers to become elite, I also inspected the farmland and gave instructions.

“Good. We’ve pulled all the weeds, and the fence is more than half completed. These guys are very capable at working.”

The land was also plowed while pulling weeds.

“Shwak, shwak. It’s because we’ve become stronger with magic, shwak.”

“Yes. I’ll keep giving you magic as a reward, so keep working hard. Sharan!”

“Yes, Master!”

“It’s about time we planted something! Gyuil! Bring it!”

“Gyusatsat.”

Gyuil immediately brought a sack filled with seeds. These were seeds we had collected while exploring the jungle. We selected only the good ones under Sharan’s guidance, so it should go well.

“Hehehe.”

There were some beans, primitive corn, and thick wheat grains.

“Sharan, let’s plant them. How should we do it?”

“Just spread them like this.”

Sharan put her hand into the sack and scattered the seeds, showing an example. Just by her movements, she looked like a true farmer.

“Oh! As expected of Sharan!”

“Shwak!”

“Gyusatsat!”

Seeing Sharan’s overwhelming performance, the monster army held their heads with both hands in amazement.

After scattering some seeds, Sharan spoke.

“Spread them evenly like this, then lightly step on them with your feet. Just sprinkle a little water, and they’ll grow well.”

“Did you hear that, guys! This is what you’ll be doing from now on!”

“But Master, we need to protect them from others.”

“Yes, that’s important.”

So, we were also building lodgings and outposts along with the fence. We planned to station a hobgoblin platoon and a lizardman platoon here permanently, so security wouldn’t be an issue.

Once the farming village was completed, we’d have to train them separately. They needed to receive border patrol training to become guardians of the farmland.

“So we just live here and farm?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Great. It sounds peaceful.”

“If you want to hunt, select a group and go. We’ll continue to supply food, so don’t worry about that.”

If this succeeded, we could expand the unit easily. This is really exciting. A rosy future awaits us.

“Then Lumica! Can you sprinkle some water?”

“Let’s see what I can do.”

ㅡWhack!

As Lumica elegantly raised her arm, a stream of water began to form in the air.

“Oh!”

And then water burst forth!

Lumica, spraying water like a hose, smiled proudly.

“Huhu, do you like it?”

“Lumica, you’re like a human pump!”

“Human pump?”

“It’s a huge compliment!”

“Then call me the human pump.”

That was a joke…!

“Once the roots grow, they will absorb water on their own.”

“I look forward to that day!”

Since it’s the first time, we’d plant a small amount first. If it went well, we’d start in earnest.

“Lumica, let’s make a well nearby. Gyuil! Bring a shovel and follow me!”

But Karuti hadn’t come recently.
