**

The devastated village was teeming with Chujaras, and their numbers seemed similar to the Chujaras that had attacked the village earlier.

“Choosh. Chush. We are a great, great tribe!”

“””We are a great great tribe!”””

“Oh, those are real.”

The guys were singing and eating and playing, and just looking at that meat over there made me frown because it reminded me of something. Even in Maruk, it was still unfamiliar to see people consuming humans or things similar to humans.

“Choo-chat. Chu-chat. Yesterday, I killed some cheeky brats!”

“””Yesterday I killed some cheeky brats!”””

“… What the heck.”

The lyrics that they spit out while laughing and chatting were ridiculous, and when they sang the song while frying the food that they were eating, I got upset and angry.

“Choo-choo. Chu-choo. Tomorrow I’m going to kill those annoying dwarves!”

“””Tomorrow I’m going to kill those annoying dwarves!”””

…The next target is either the Kanturko tribe or humans.

The large Chujara tribe has the perception that the Kangturko tribe and humans are all the same.

So after invading the Element tribe, the next target will probably be one of two things. Maybe it will be the Canturko tribe.

In terms of distance, the Kanturko tribe was closer than the humans.

“Fucking bastards… .”

I wanted to wipe them all out, but I endured it in order to gain information by eavesdropping on their chatter among themselves while they were drunk on excitement. To be honest, the Chujara tribe’s intelligence was such that they could only move as a tribal unit, so I guessed that there must be someone behind the unification of the guys.

If it’s killing for survival, I can understand it, even if it’s a little.

I waited for the Chujara tribe to come back and reveal their next plan, but seeing the tragedy around them was unbearable.

Don’t kill me nicely.

Surrender? Surrender?

Thinking back now, it wasn’t even funny.

I was feeling really relieved after catching the Demon King.

A cruel race that commits murder based solely on their size, despite being stupid. Up until now, I had been merciful to the Chujara tribe, who had been living in Maluk and had no ties to the Demon King’s army, but when I saw such a sight, I could barely suppress the murderous rage that I had been holding back.

Unlike the Demon King’s army that invaded the continent, these guys would have been killing people purely out of greed.

“Hoo-woo.”

Let’s be patient. Let’s watch a little longer, and if someone who looks like the mastermind appears, we’ll really mess things up.

There was already no treatment for prisoners of war.

The Chujara tribe originally did not take prisoners, so I guess I’m the weird one.

hmm?

As I was internally contemplating whether or not to continue the slaughter, I felt a strange new sensation coming from an unexpected place.

suddenly-!

“Chujaak!?”

“What, what the heck!”

“Raid?!”

While the Chujara tribe was sitting around, something rose from the ground.

“Well done! Great warrior Kant of the great tribe.”

“Choo-chat! Surprise! And the great great tribe!”

Either that or that.

Judging from the attitude of the guy who suddenly appeared, some of them hesitated and backed away in surprise, even though they seemed to be familiar with him.

“Chu-chan, big mole! What’s going on?”

“I am not a big mole!”

“Okay! It’s not a big mole!”

“Ugh-. Anyway, the Chujara tribe is… .”

It seemed like he was having a hard time cooperating with the less fortunate Chujara tribe, but the direction he was going in was so ominous that he slowly suppressed his anger.

Instead of blowing it up right away, interrogate it and make it beg to be killed without killing it.

“Why are you like that?”

“No. Are there no captured elements?”

I listened carefully to the stupid Chujara tribe, who kept asking questions, because it seemed like the mastermind was trying to reveal his business.

“Eat it all or run away!”

“What an idiot! Didn’t I emphasize that I should keep some of them!?”

“Is that so? Got it!”

One of the dark forces’ goals seemed to be to take the element tribe alive. As they say, if they had taken the element tribe prisoner instead of killing them, there would have been a chance of saving them, but their stupidity ended up strangling them.

“Eeeeek! I guess I should hurry up and go to the next town!”

He decided that he could not achieve his purpose by staying here, so he went into the ground.

Maybe we’re going to the village I guarded?

I figured it was the closest place to here, but it didn’t have to be that way.

No matter how much you crawl underground, you have no choice but to come up to find out what’s going on above ground.

You can catch it then, but it wouldn’t hurt to prepare in case you miss it.

Teleportation was a higher-dimensional magic than I thought, so it was difficult to use unless absolutely necessary. In addition, I heard that the elemental gods created a barrier so it couldn’t be used carelessly, so if it was to be used, it would have to be a magic tool with that function.

So, let’s give up on the idea that the guy behind that would use such magic.

It was a peculiar way of moving, moving underground, but that didn’t mean there were no traces. We were already able to recognize it and track it.

“Chujak? It wasn’t a big mole, but it disappeared into the ground!”

“Choo-chat choo-chat! Looks like he’s mad because I didn’t leave him any food!!”

“It’s okay! It’s not the big mole that came late that’s wrong!!”

You are next.

I glanced at the noisy Chujara tribe and followed after the big mole.

***

‘Crack crack crack crack crack crack crack’

The territory of the element tribe is truly a great place for digging. Normally, it would have been difficult to wander around freely even underground due to the strict surveillance, but thanks to the stupid Chujaras running wild, you can dig freely.

“Work hard, brothers! If we succeed in this, we will be able to officially join the Demon King’s Army!”

“””Tssss!!”””

A splendid flower garden comes to mind as I watch my brothers busily waving their forelegs.

This is my chance… to make a deep impression on the Demon King’s army’s real power… I can do it…!

Things are so easy when the annoying elements gather together and fight against the Demon King’s army.

You stupid element guys. How can you oppose the Demon King’s army when there is an easy way to collude with them?

Even if it’s a natural tree, it’s the same.

How many creatures live in nature! And instead of embracing poor creatures like us, they cast us out! Wretched elements! Nature’s tree! I will resent and resent again…!

I braced myself as I watched the fist not fully clenched.

I still can’t get used to it. Are these my hands?

Strong claws and thick finger joints suitable for digging tunnels.

I had been living blind for so long that it was as natural as breathing to me and I had not thought deeply about it, but once I opened my eyes and could see, examining my own body as if it were a wonder became a new routine and habit.

“T-! Ssss!”

Was it really this beautiful to be able to see the world? Although the tunnel was dark and it didn’t matter whether it was open or not, the light that had always been dazzling was actually like this.

“Kigi! It’s dazzling!”

“Ah! Sorry, brother!”

He looked into the tunnel with an excited heart, causing his brother’s closed eyes to squint.

“If you really help us with this, will we be able to open our eyes too?”

“That’s right! Of course, if you don’t want to open your eyes, I won’t force you! After all, our true goal is paradise!”

If we can take away the garden of these hateful elements, we won’t have to live in these dingy tunnels anymore.

Even though our life began underground, it was because the creatures above ground rejected us.

You stupid Chujaras! Fight those bastards and die!

He had a grudge against the guys on the ground, and he planned to use them appropriately and then throw them away.

If I were alone, I wouldn’t be able to handle even a single stupid Chujara or element, but that’s not the case for my brothers yet.

A power and ability that I, who used to be a troublemaker, could not have imagined. It was fortunate that a character from the Demon King’s Army came to me, who was always curious.

In place of my weaknesses compared to my brothers, what I can boast about is my outstanding intelligence. If I can just pull off this mission, which has brought much benefit to the group throughout my life, I will live in abundance for generations to come.

“But can I really do as Ki-gi says?”

“I don’t know. But I’ve never felt bad about listening to Ki-gi.”

“That’s right.”

“Don’t worry, brothers! If this is successful, delicious fruits await you!”

“Really?! But what is the fault?!”

“Didn’t I bring you some yesterday! Small, delicious grains!”

“Ah-! Then I guess I’ll have to dig harder!”

Even though they were brothers, they had doubts every time I dug a passage, but because of my past accomplishments, I was able to get over it. Thanks to this experience, I was barely able to convince that stupid Chujara.

“That’s right! Small, delicious grains! A land that rustles at the touch of a hand! A safe area to crawl out onto the ground! Kuhora-nim said he would give us all of this!”

In return for their help, the Demon King’s army promised an open world, power, and lands held by the elements.

It may be difficult to get to the interior where the important elements live, but if you do this, the Demon King’s army will take care of it.

I knew that the Chujaras couldn’t handle all the elements.

We said that we could just push in with quantity and then counterattack to take away the power of the elements.

Having this information advantage allowed us to execute this operation.

“The tunnel seems to have been dug quite well! Brothers! Let’s try a little harder!”

“Kigi! Why aren’t you digging?!”

Wouldn’t you rather not dig it up because you don’t want to dig it up?

All of this was a concession made for the good of the brothers.

“I have to go up to the ground and check if the direction is right!”

Originally, it was dangerous to go up to the ground without being able to protect myself, but this was no longer the case for me who had gained strength and ability.

“Are you okay?!”

“It’s okay! Lord Kuhora of the Demon King’s Army has given me the world!”

“Really?! That would be great!”

He began to slowly dig the ground, making himself the envy of his brothers.

‘Crack crack crack crack crack crack crack’

Now, goodbye to the life of eating tree roots and insects from the ground! From now on, you will be able to freely dig up the ground in the area of fertile elements and eat delicious fruits from the ground with peace of mind!

“T-! Ssss! Hehe.”

***

At first, he planned to catch him from a distance and then interrogate him, but he soon changed his mind.

He could have caught them hastily and committed suicide, but he could have also successfully defended the village he was going to visit next, and taken some measures to report to his superiors.

And that was the answer.

“Is it working properly?”

Because a guy came out, tapping on the jewel for transmission and reception and making a noise.

I wondered if I could just leave the Chujaras that had previously destroyed the village alone. Then I thought about their habit of not moving any further since they had finished their work for the day, and so I started stalking them.

Not really threatening. Are you the type that uses your head?

When the guy first came out onto the ground, I just watched in silence.

Actually, it was a bit surprising that it was moving around on the ground, but it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t deal with it.

In Maruk, they even caught guys that were like ant hell.

There were so many giant bugs that I was about to say something like “Ma-Ruk’s Sesco-ran” whenever I had to deal with them.

It was good to eliminate the Chujara tribe or that bastard race or the invaders from the elemental country as soon as they were seen, but it was also important to root out the cause of the sudden large-scale invasion.

Wouldn’t that be so?

As the Sesco drip came to mind, if you see one cockroach in the house, there are already hundreds of them.

They say that even SESCO has a hard time getting rid of bedbugs.

Let’s just hope those guys aren’t as persistent as lice.

But who would have thought that they would be digging tunnels?

I agree with the opinion that if one appears, there are hundreds, so let’s focus the detection range underground and expand it, and there were quite a few similar presences to this guy.

When I was digging a tunnel, I briefly thought of the North Korean soldiers I had been trained to be like in the military.

“What’s going on?”

“Oh! Are you Kuhora?”

Kuhora? That’s an unfamiliar name. It could be an alias.

Eavesdropping on communications while shaking off distracting thoughts.

“That’s right. Jituasusu Kigiyeo.”

What the hell are all those names?

When I was summoned to this world, I felt a bit awkward when I was called Ollie, who looked like an elf. Then, when I heard that the orc was called Chuja and the dwarf was called Kanturko, I still got confused sometimes even after living here for three years. I thought it would have been better if the translation I received as a special privilege had been translated in a way that made it easier to hear.

“Bo, I’m reporting! We’ve succeeded in capturing the first element village! ”

“Well done.”

“But somehow the second element village succeeded in defending itself. How about you?”

I found the guy and it was around evening time, so we had a nice conversation in the pitch black night, just like the gloomy appearance.

Did you do a good job uploading it?

“… That doesn’t matter. Rather, the priestess of the element tribe has appeared, so be careful. ”

As I thought about Ollie, I heard stories about his activities from my enemies, which made me even more interested.

“Are you talking about a priestess?”

“That’s right. The strongest of the element tribe.”

Even when other races look at it, they think that Ollie is the strongest among the elemental races.

It’s true, it’s true, but I feel proud when I hear it from other people, especially my enemies.

Even if the current situation is not at all conducive to that.

“Even if we attack the village, it is only an area on the outskirts. The real problem is the city connecting the villages. It is a city of elements exposed to interact with the outside world. I don’t expect it to fall, but our goal is to buy time and delay supplies. It would be better if the elements that left returned. ”

somehow.

Seeing him blurt out information without me asking, my decision to secretly watch him was right.

If Millet had been there, he would have sent his servant horse to gather information.

But doing something like this at night wasn’t something worth doing.

“That’s why you left the attacks to the Chujaras! And you left the tunnels to our Jituasus and spy on them and do other things!”

“Lower your voice, Jituasuskigi.”

“Ouch! I got so excited that I… .”

Is he a bit of a lackey? I guess Jituassus is a race name.

If I were to guess their relationship, it would seem that they are superiors and subordinates in terms of rank, and the guy reporting to me now seems strong-willed but also clumsy.

“It’s okay. The priestess of the element tribe is here anyway, and even if the village didn’t succeed in defending itself, the damage would be significant, so no one would eavesdrop.”

The bad guys are careful.

Still, thanks to your carelessness, I was able to obtain this information.

“That’s right. When I came out onto the ground, I looked around carefully, even the hairs that weren’t there stood on end, and I was careful, careful again.”

The face is shaped like a mole, but the body is covered in scales, so is that why he makes such a joke?

They came to a foreign country and started causing trouble, but they were talking so amicably among themselves that I felt like punching them in the face right away.

“… You’ve worked hard. Our Demon King’s Army will not forget your hard work, Jituasusu Kigi. ”

“Thank you, Kuhora. I will work harder to be of help to the Demon King’s Army.”

“Krrr.”

“t- sss.”

You fucking kids.

You could call it a kind of after-service.

Rude humans were a problem, but the Demon King’s army was also a bad group in its own right, so even after capturing the Demon King, I still wanted to deal with the Demon King’s army as well.

“If you can do this job well, I will personally tell Critrick about it.”

Critique?

Although I am not good at remembering names, I do know the names of the Four Heavenly Kings.
