Episode 259: Conquering The Barony (15)
Thanks to Karuti’s support, there were no mishaps during the march.
Even in the demon world, I was considered important. Right now, supporting me was a higher priority than gathering information from other places.
Thus, we arrived at the enemy territory and reached the sewer without a single skirmish.
“Kyah. We’ve finally arrived. Guys! Right here!”
“Kerk…!”
“But the stench is quite strong.”
“Lord! It’s really bad here! Kehak!”
Buril shouted while holding his nose… It couldn’t be helped. This was a real sewer, after all. Wouldn’t it be a sewer if it didn’t smell?
But a sewer at night.
The atmosphere was intense.
In a bad way.
“There’s nothing we can do. We must use this filthy path for a surprise attack. Everyone, let’s muster our strength. If we overcome this battle, the castle beyond will be ours.”
Despite the foul sewer smell, everyone’s spirits were burning fiercely.
“Grrrk.”
“Gyusat gyusat.”
The excitement of an imminent battle with humans was surging. As the Demon King, I could feel all of it.
“Kyuse oppa. It’s just beginning. There are no hazards inside. The castle’s defenses are as expected, so we just need to enter!”
Karuti spoke calmly.
“Good.”
Then let’s go in.
“Lady Vanessa. Please cut through the bars.”
“Understood.”
Vanessa, enveloped in a dark aura, entered the water.
—Splash.
She then went straight to the sewer bars and cut them down. Such bars were no match for Vanessa.
“Ugh… Disgusting. Now we can go in.”
“Alright. Buril, it’s time to advance. Walk in line as we trained. And Lady Vanessa? Please lead the way.”
At my command, Vanessa immediately grabbed a shield and went inside. There might be no hazards, but caution is still necessary.
“Lilriel. Turn on the light.”
“Should I use red?”
“Yes.”
“Understood.”
—Pop.
The angels emitted a soft red glow from the ring above their heads. Just like that, our invincible Kyuse Demon Army entered the sewer.
“Ugh… This water is too unpleasant!”
Lumica was disgusted.
“Just endure it a little, Lumica. Once we take over the castle, you can clean up.”
“I can’t forgive the filth in this water.”
I agreed.
“Shasha… Master. It’s somewhat magical with the red light. It would feel like a fun outing if only the water were clean?”
“Hehehe, right. It would have been nice if only the water were clean.”
But there’s nothing we could do.
“Haah. It feels strange to use such a backdoor when we’re just returning home.”
“I feel the same.”
Irene and Liza said that.
“I wonder if everyone at the convent is doing well?”
“That’s… quite worrisome.”
Reika said in response to Irene’s comment. That reminded me, there were nuns inside.
Let’s see.
Would it be good for the nuns to join us? They too must actively participate in public relations. Naturally, they should be persuaded. With that thought, I silently crossed the sewer.
It was a dirty and winding space. The stench was so bad that it numbed my sense of smell. But paradoxically, that was a relief. Because it didn’t smell as bad.
Anyway, we moved according to Karuti’s guidance along such a path.
From time to time, other Evil Eyes joined us.
—Splash splash.
—Squeak squeak.
All that could be heard was the sound of water and rats.
“Grrk grrk. Chewda. Chew.”
“Kerk. Is Gyuil eating rats?”
“Gyusat gyusat. You’re talking nonsense. I don’t eat filthy rats.”
Yet, they all seemed to enjoy the sight of rats. They say teenagers laughed even at the sight of falling leaves; these guys found joy just seeing sewer rats.
They were all so innocent.
—Splash splash.
How much time had passed?
“Kyuse oppa. We need to turn off the light now. The ladder to the surface will appear soon.”
“We’ve finally arrived.”
The dreadful sewer journey was now ending. I issued the order to prepare for battle. That order was relayed all the way to the back.
—Flash.
The angels’ light went out.
Silence fell.
—Roar.
At the same time, the surrounding magical energy surged. My monster subordinates were entering a battle-ready state…!
Thrill!
“Oh…!”
I felt the thrill!
The most crucial battle was about to begin. Even I was caught up in the excitement. It felt like the magic was trembling.
If we won here, I would take over the baron’s castle!
And that was a foregone conclusion.
Our prepared unit, attacking at night. Soldiers in this medieval-like society had a low understanding of tactics. If we fought, I’d win!
“All troops.”
The troops made way for swift infiltration.
—Shriek.
And then I issued the command in the darkness. Ascend to the surface and overpower the guards.
“Advance.”
My voice resonated quietly.
—Splash splash splash!
—Splash splash splash!
—Splash splash splash!
The trained goblin infantry swiftly ran forward! A squad with swords at their waists and shields on their backs!
“Kerk…!”
And so, the goblins lined up and clung to the ladder! As trained, they climbed the ladder quickly! Now, they will secure their positions above!
—Buzz!
The pixies would take control of the airspace.
—Buzz!
—Buzz!
The noise resounding in the night was loud. Of course, there’s no need to worry. My pixies were invincible.
—Buzz!
The deployed pixies brushed past the climbing goblins’ backs. Good! My soldiers were perfectly progressing to the surface!
“Everyone! Everyone climb up!”
“Kerk!”
“Grrrk!”
Quickly!
Sending the soldiers up faster!
“Good! Good! Everyone is climbing up well!”
I would soon lead the personal guard upwards too! And by now, the pixies positioned in the sky must be eliminating the guards!
“Dark Elves! Ascend! Take control of the ramparts!”
“Understood!”
The Dark Elves quickly climbed up.
“Karuti!”
“Yes…! I’m watching! Kyuse oppa! The soaring pixies are taking out the guards! There are very few enemy forces on the ground! They’re panicked, and the goblins are forming ranks! It’s a battle we can’t lose!”
“Great! Let’s go up now! Guards! Follow me!”
Just like that.
—Flash!
I grabbed the ladder too.
Now it was time to ascend to the battlefield.
—Flash!
I quickly climbed the ladder to the surface. I had no time to worry about the Dark Elf’s behind above me.
And the moment I emerged on the ground.
“Kerk!”
“Kerk!”
“Kerk!”
I once again felt the proficiency of my soldiers. The well-positioned goblin formations and the flying pixies. There was a watchtower, but no humans were visible. They had already died and fallen!
—Buzz!
My soldiers were decimating the few human soldiers!
Perfect!
It’s practically like looting an empty house!
“Lilriel! Lights!”
“Understood!”
—Flash!
The dark space was adequately illuminated. The night air was cold. Naturally, the human bodies were cold too.
“We’ll break through to the main gate of the inner castle!”
I already knew the location!
“Goblin infantry! Form squads in a square formation!”
“Kerk! Forming square formation!”
The goblins busily formed their ranks and began advancing in the direction I had ordered.
“Screams!”
“Screams!”
Screams could be heard from above the ramparts. The few human soldiers struggled, but they were no match for the Dark Elf special forces who had climbed up using grappling hooks.
These women had even completed guerrilla training. There was no way human soldiers could withstand them.
—Buzz!
“All humans in sight have been taken out! They were easy targets! It was harder walking in the sewer!”
“Well done, Serinu! Now just fly low and keep guard!”
“Yes!”
“Buril! Increase the pace of advance!”
“Kerk! Increasing speed! Execute!”
The goblin infantry followed behind. It was night. And it was inside the ramparts. There were hardly any guards patrolling.
Just like that.
—Shriek.
We stood before the inner castle of the baron.
“Has the situation been noticed?”
Light was seeping out from a window above. Of course. Given the commotion, someone would be checking.
“Serinu. Drive a Wind Cutter into that window.”
“Got it!”
—Buzz!
The pixies flew off.
“Lilriel! Bring the Fallen Angel troops here!”
“Understood!”
Immediately, Lilriel led her subordinates to the front of the castle gate.
“Destroy the gate as trained!”
“Loading Black Flame!”
—Whoosh!
—Whoosh!
—Whoosh!
At Lilriel’s command, the Fallen Angels exerted strength in their hands.
“Incompetent humans!”
“Because of these bastards…!”
“We’ll smash everything!”
The Fallen Angels muttered their grievances as they completed their casting. The humans seemed to have caused them a lot of regrets. Anyway, a sphere of darkness was completed in their hands.
“Fire!”
At the signal.
—Boom!
Simultaneously, the Black Flame shot out and struck the inner castle’s gate!
“The result…!”
Acrid smoke billowed out.
When it cleared, what appeared was.
“Success!”
It’s the corridor leading to the interior of the inner castle!
The gate was shattered!
“Successful destruction!”
“Good! Demon King! Put the goblin shield bearers in front! We’re entering the interior!”
Vanessa shouted valiantly. She’s the only woman among us who has entered the baron’s castle before. She would command the interior battle.
“Understood! Buril! Line up according to the width of the corridor! Advance!”
“Kerk! Understood!”
—Rumble!
The goblins immediately lined up in the corridor, shields in front.
“It reminds me of a dungeon! It was just like this then!”
“Then it means it’s a familiar battlefield! Goblins, advance!”
“Kerk!”
And so, we.
Advanced into the interior of the baron’s castle.
Taking over the castle was only a matter of time!
