Episode 368: End Of The Expedition (5)

As the queen, who was like a giant monster, collapsed, all the Lamias lost their will to fight.

Only a few Lamias were fighting, and most were trying to escape. Of course, escaping in this situation was very difficult.

“Kyaaaaak!”

The Lamias, pressed from all sides, fell down everywhere. Some even had their snake lower bodies twisted.

“Switch to capture mode, except for the essential forces! Subdue the Lamias!”

“Keryaaaak!”

My soldiers were very skilled at this kind of thing. Only one goblin company maintained full combat mode, and the rest switched to capture mode, subduing the fallen Lamias.

“Kyah…!”

There was almost no resistance.

They couldn’t dare to challenge us, who had easily defeated even the queen. So, we did what we had to do and leisurely cleaned up the battlefield.

“Everyone has worked hard to get here! Let’s work hard and rest hard!”

Let’s finish up when the cleanup was done.

All the cleanup was finished. We had seized the Lamia capital, and the defeated Lamias, terrified, submitted to us.

That’s the situation.

Anyway, I was about to interrogate the captured queen right away, but…

“Kyaaaaak! Kyah! Kyaaaaak!”

She was not making any sense.

“Um… Lady Juria?”

“…Yes.”

Juria answered, wiping her face with her hand at my question.

“Is she even sane?”

“Well, that’s…”

The Lamia queen’s condition was clearly abnormal. She was rampaging as if she had lost her mind, and communication was impossible.

Looking into her eyes, I could tell for sure.

She was completely consumed by madness.

“Maybe she’s gone senile…”

“Pardon?”

Was she serious?

“Are you serious?”

“It seems… highly likely.”

Juria said, unable to hide her dismay.

“Also, from the scent, it seems she has been taking herbs that enhance mental power for a long time. And it seems she has been exposed to the scent of burning various other herbs for a very long time.”

Senile and drug-addicted.

“So… it doesn’t seem like she has much sanity left. I can’t believe it. I didn’t expect the queen to be in this state…”

Juria was as shocked as I was.

I didn’t expect this either.

“Lady Juria, if she has no sanity, she’s just a beast.”

“That’s right, Master.”

Seriously. The Lamia queen we captured had drug addiction and dementia. Was this even possible?

“But how did she run the country in this state?”

“Lamias don’t run their country as meticulously as humans. The strongest Lamia just rules by force.”

“Ah.”

That was true.

“But with the queen in this state… a rebellion would have likely happened soon. She’s extremely violent now because she’s lost her mind, but if this goes on for another year or two, she’ll lose all her power. Then, Lamias with normal minds and strong power will try to seize the throne.”

So that was how power changed hands.

The Lamia queen, who had become too strong, had lived that long and became addicted to herbs and drugs. Eventually, she would weaken, and a new power would emerge.

It’s a generational change, so to speak.

“So, we came at that timing.”

No wonder the Dark Elves and Lamias were fighting so fiercely. It seemed the Lamias became violent because the queen was not in a normal state.

“Hmm, is that so?”

The elf queen next to me said, folding her arms.

“Anyway, she was no match for this queen. Didn’t I say? That we would win easily?”

She seemed to be subtly showing off.

She wanted to be recognized for her contribution.

“Hehehe, that’s right. Our queen is so strong that we caught her easily. Well, if we hadn’t come, the war between the Lamias and Dark Elves would have ended with the Dark Elves’ victory.”

“Yes. Accurate judgment. It’s only natural with this queen.”

The queen smiled, pleased with my praise.

Our queen had a cute side.

“If the Lamias had just banded together, we would have crushed them quickly, Master.”

Then Juria complained. Another cute princess here? I immediately patted Juria’s head, comforting her.

“Oh my, Lady Juria. Are you perhaps pouting?”

“Of course not…”

“Well, if Lady Juria were the queen, it would have been a very close match.”

“Of course.”

Anyway.

“Kyaaaaak…”

I looked at the queen without sanity again.

She was lying still, restrained, as if all her strength had drained away.

How do I control this?

Wait a minute.

“If she has no sanity, mind control might work.”

“Yes?”

“Demon Domination Technique.”

Should I shoot that into her forehead?

ㅡSwipe.

I immediately placed my finger on the queen’s forehead, which was spread out.

And the moment I activated the Demon Domination Technique…

ㅡWhoosh?!

“Huh?!”

A large amount of mana drained out, and it was rapidly injected into the Lamia queen’s forehead!

What was this!

It was not a vacuum cleaner, why was it sucking in so much?

ㅡFlash.

Soon, a mark of domination was engraved on the queen’s forehead.

The domination technique worked.

“Kyah…!”

“Uh, uh?”

The Lamia queen, who had been lying down, twitched her body and looked at me with hazy eyes. Wait, did it really work?

“What?”

“Ho.”

Juria and Rexabella watched with interest.

I spoke to the queen.

“Queen? What is your name?”

“Hiss… Sachurel… hiss.”

“Sachurel!”

A unique name!

“Good! Our Churel! Can you raise your hand?”

“Kyah…”

As soon as I spoke, Churel slowly raised her hand.

“Oh!”

Was it because of the domination technique?

She listened very well.

“Good! Then let’s raise the tail too!”

“Hiss…”

I immediately conducted an experiment.

I controlled Churel by giving her various instructions. Churel acted like a very obedient pet, doing what I told her to do.

“She listens well to commands, doesn’t she?”

That was my conclusion.

“Senile and drug-addicted. Is it because she’s been subdued in that state? The domination technique worked very well.”

Then she was useful!

“My goodness, Master, I never imagined you could turn the former queen into a pet with a single gesture.”

“That’s my power, Lady Juria!”

Good!

Let’s make good use of our Churel!

“So, do you like your new pet?”

At Reika’s words, I looked at Churel over there.

“Shaya! Sachurel is cute!”

“Hiss, hiss.”

Sharan was stroking Churel’s chin. Churel was just staring blankly at the ceiling, spread out like a very docile pet, but she moved immediately when I gave her a command.

Her sanity was faint, but she listened well. If I sent such a monster charging into the enemy lines? It would be a tank itself.

What if Churel charged on one side, and the Lamia lancer corps charged on the other?

I could already picture humans screaming in terror.

“Well, I like her. She’s cute.”

“Would you do ‘it’ with her too?”

“Ah, no… but she’s a bit… too big, isn’t she?”

What should I say?

It felt like an enlarged version of Juria.

Her figure was fine in terms of proportions, but her physique felt enlarged. In other words, her upper body alone was about the same size as my height.

Of course, I was a bit taller, but that was how huge she was.

A monster itself.

There’s no way I could do ‘it’ with her.

“Wow, this guy is picky about that?”

Reika said in a mocking tone.

“No, Lady Reika, think seriously. When have I ever… done it with a strange woman? At least they all looked normal, didn’t they?”

“Pixies are tiny but have huge boobs, right?”

“That’s totally doable.”

“Crazy!”

What’s wrong with pixies?

They’re petite and have big breasts, which I liked.

But our Churel… was a bit of a giant. It would feel like doing it with a giant. I was not into giant women. When I stood in front of Churel, I became relatively short.

Well, as we were talking,

“Master, all the Lamias have gathered.”

“Oh, really?”

Lumica went to deliver the news.

“Lady Juria, it’s time.”

“Ah, already.”

“Let’s start the coronation.”

It was time to enthrone Juria as the new queen of this place. I immediately went outside the queen’s residence with Juria.

“Hiss, hiss.”

“Hiss hiss.”

“…Hiss.”

All the Lamias in the capital were gathered, bowing. I went up to the platform with Juria.

“Lady Juria. Then start.”

“Yes.”

Juria, who answered,

ㅡHah.

Took a breath, then

“Kyaaaaaaaaaak!!!”

Roared very strongly, filled with mana and power.

ㅡSwoosh.

ㅡTwitch!

At the same time, the Lamias bowing twitched.

They recognized Juria’s power.

Of course, if Juria fought that monster-like Churel one-on-one, she would be pushed back by the size difference, but in this Lamia kingdom, there was no Lamia who could defeat Juria in a one-on-one fight.

“The previous queen has fallen! From now on, I am the new queen!!!”

Juria achieved her dream.

ㅡSlide.

I placed Churel’s crown on Juria’s head. Juria smiled as if she was very happy.

Juria, who was smiling like that, roared sharply again.

“If you have any complaints, come out! I challenge you to challenge this queen!”

“Kyaaaak!”

Immediately, three Lamias raised their waists. It seemed this was also a Lamia tradition. When a new queen ascended the throne, she received challengers.

ㅡSlide.

“Lady Juria. Finish them all off.”

“Yes. Master. I need to show the queen’s authority here.”

Juria, who received the sword, went down from the platform. The challengers grabbed their spears and approached.

And.

ㅡFlash!

The battle began.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaak!”

“Kyaaaaaaaaaak!”

Three Lamias, who looked quite violent, charged at once, holding their spears forward.

“Slow.”

Juria, who said a cool word,

ㅡFlash!

Skillfully moved her waist to avoid the spear tips, then

ㅡWhirl.

Lightly moved her sword and cut off the challenger’s neck. It was a matter of a blink of an eye. The challenger’s head fell, and the other two went berserk and rushed in.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaak!”

“Losing your mind during battle… how pathetic.”

Juria, who sighed as if she was pathetic, swung her sword again.

ㅡThud.

With that, all the challengers fell, bleeding from their chests.

“Praise the new queen!!!!”

Juria’s adjutant, Sasunall, shouted, and

“Kyaaaaaaaaaak!”

“Kyaaaaaaaaaak!!!”

“Kyaaaaak!”

The Lamias let out shouts.

We had conquered everything.
