Otherworld Demon King Survival Guide.

Episode 102: Satyrs (3)

My army was on the move.

ㅡTrudging.

It was a sight that lifted my spirits just by watching. The leather bags made by Muturi, worn like military gear, were especially pleasing to my eye. Armed with weapons and carrying gear? They were born soldiers.

This was what being a Demon King is all about.

The Demon King led the monsters.

But Sister Reika was just dumbfounded.

“To think such creatures existed in this uncharted territory…!”

“Surprised?”

“Of course I am!”

Was she shocked by witnessing the true nature of my army to the point where her hands were trembling?

“Evil forces are thriving in such remote places, and no one knows about it!”

“Of course, Sister Reika, you can’t do anything about it. Rather, you’ll be aiding me.”

“Damn it!”

It must be incredibly frustrating and infuriating for a nun.

An evil Demon King had risen in this wilderness and was expanding his power. She would want to alert everyone immediately, but she’s already unable to escape from me.

That must be unbearable.

“Choking…!”

She was really upset.

And it would only get worse.

Once the Satyrs were dealt with, I would explore Sister Reika’s combat capabilities and usefulness in more detail. If she’s further trained to obey my commands more actively, she could be utilized as a combatant.

She seemed to handle a sword well and had some knowledge of combat.

It wouldn’t be bad to learn swordsmanship from Reika. After all, we had equipment from the adventurers we killed. It was good to learn whatever we could.

“But it’s the first time we’ve all come out together like this, right?”

While walking, Lumica said with a smile.

“This is fun. It’s definitely more enjoyable than living alone in the water.”

“Hahaha, right? You did well to come out of the water.”

“Yeah.”

Seeing them enjoy themselves as if on a picnic brought joy to me, too.

“Sharan is also having fun coming out with everyone.”

“I’m so happy to be with pretty Sharan.”

I patted Sharan’s head.

“…”

Reika looked seriously displeased watching us. She must be disgusted seeing such criminal, yet human-like, behavior.

“Master, it would be good if Reika joined in too.”

“She will, eventually.”

Anyway.

We continued to chat and keep watch as we headed towards the Pixie Village.

“We’re here!”

Arriving almost at midnight, Serinu welcomed us with a wide smile.

“So many goblins!”

“And imps and kobolds!”

“Are all these guys helping us?!”

Not just Serinu, but other pixies too were amazed and giggling with delight. Of course, my subordinates maintained a wary stance, looking rather uneasy.

“Master. Are the pixies not enemies?”

“No. They are allies now. Spread the word to relax.”

“Understood. Kerukkeruk!”

Buril immediately took control of the troops. He really handled the soldiers better than any seasoned sergeant.

Anyway.

The pixies watching us were startled upon seeing Reika.

“There’s a human!”

“A human!”

“Why is a human here?”

Compared to the pixies, Reika was much taller. But the pixies had larger chests. Surrounded by the chattering pixies, Reika looked like Robinson Crusoe in a land of dwarfs.

“What the hell are these bitches? Why won’t they leave me alone!”

“What’s the human saying?”

“Be careful!”

“Is the human going to help us?”

She was treated like an unwelcome guest. I couldn’t wait to put horns on her. That day will be interesting.

“Guys, relax. This human is our ally. I brought her as a friend.”

“Really?”

“How can a human be an ally?”

“That’s a lie!”

A bunch of pixies with large bosoms chattering like this was too much. I had to call Serinu to calm them down.

“Serinu, please calm them down. I’m trying to do something, but they keep talking, and I can’t focus.”

“Okay. I’ll handle it. Everyone, quiet down! We can talk later. For now, focus on the Satyrs!”

The pixies nodded at her words.

“If Serinu says so…”

“The Satyrs are more important right now!”

“They’re coming to attack!”

Still, their energy was relentless.

“Serinu, where can our guys stay?”

“Sure. There are empty houses. Let’s go there.”

“Guys! Follow me!”

ㅡKeruk!

ㅡKrruk!

We moved towards the empty houses. Upon arrival, the so-called empty building was more like a warehouse, built on the ground rather than dug into the hills like the other pixie houses.

Three houses were built side by side.

Separate places for the kids would work.

“It used to be a warehouse, but I’ve cleaned it up. You can stay here.”

“Hmm, well. This is decent enough.”

Entering, I found it neatly organized. It wouldn’t be much different from a dungeon.

“Alright. Buril, you and the others rest inside. If you’re hungry, eat what you brought under your control. Collect all the trash in one place. Got it?”

“Understood, Keruk!”

“Imsoong, Gyuil, you guys also rest. Gyuil, take good care of the wounded.”

“Krruk!”

“Gyusat!”

“Since there’s nothing to do today, everyone should rest. If something happens, I’ll wake you up; otherwise, there’s no need to do anything. Now, take a break!”

Perfect.

After getting all the soldiers into the warehouse, I came out with Sharan, Lumica, and Reika. The Pixie Village was brightly lit. The fireflies flying around made it easy to see, even in the middle of the night.

“Wow… This is amazing. So this is the Pixie Village.”

Lumica, visiting for the first time, looked around in wonder.

“A fairy nest in a place like this…!”

Reika, once again surprised, shook her fists while looking around.

“Let’s not go sightseeing for now. We have work to do. Serinu!”

“Yes!”

“You said there are about 30 Satyrs, right?”

“Approximately that many. Let’s have a detailed discussion at my house.”

“Let’s go then.”

We moved to Serinu’s house to start the meeting.

“Okay, Serinu. Just to confirm. You went to the Satyrs’ base yourself to scout, right?”

“Yes, I saw everything myself.”

“And they were sending out scouts?”

“Why are you asking again about what I told you last time?”

“Never mind. Let’s continue.”

So, scouts were on their way.

“When will the scouts arrive?”

“I don’t know exactly… But they haven’t come yet.”

“Then let’s do this. First, we capture the scouts. Since we know they’re coming, we can act first, right?”

“Capture the scouts?”

“Yes. Get information out of them.”

This was the only time I had seen Satyrs. It was necessary to capture and examine them closely. I needed information. And it was a good opportunity to test my monster control skills.

“What’s next?”

“I’m going to scout the surrounding terrain.”

“Scouting? I know the area well.”

“But I don’t.”

It would be good to understand the surrounding area and set up intrusion routes for them, then lay traps.

Classic ankle spike traps or drop-type booby traps. Since I had brought all my subordinates, we could make them quickly.

“Of course, you don’t know. You don’t live here. Anyway, I understand. Do you want to know about the area? I’ll guide you.”

“Yeah. Oh, and Serinu.”

“Hmm?”

“Do you know the paths the Satyrs usually take to get here?”

“Doesn’t it vary?”

“Ah, I see.”

I hardly knew anything.

“Well, let’s start acting then. Serinu. Spread the pixies around and ask them to scout for Satyr scouts. Can you do that?”

“Yes… I know they’ll come here. I’ll ask them to search. But it’s night now, should we do it right away?”

“The enemy moves at night, too. Is it difficult at night?”

“It’s an emergency, so I can do it.”

“Then organize a team and use the pixies to search for Satyr scouts. It’s tiring, but it can’t be helped. That’s what fighting is. You know?”

“I’m not an idiot. I know that. I’ll tell them to do it. Yes. It’s important, so tiredness can’t be helped.”

“Exactly! That’s why you’re the Pixie leader! Your judgment is excellent!”

I should praise her enthusiastically!

“Heh! That’s why I’m the leader! I’m the smartest pixie!”

She was immediately proud and happy.

“You’re very reliable! With you, Serinu, we’ll definitely win this war! Now, I’ll tell you the precautions. It’s dangerous for pixies to capture each other, so if a scout is found, send one from the team to the village. The others should follow secretly. Then, I’ll come with my subordinates and capture them. Got it?”

“Okay. I’ll do that. Just trust me.”

Using the agile pixies to find the scout’s location and send troops to capture them would work. Anyway, it was convenient that Serinu easily agreed.

“Then we’ll ask the pixies to do that. You… let’s go on a terrain scouting early tomorrow morning. Knowing the terrain will give us an advantage in battle. If I knew the terrain, we could fight more advantageously. Let’s crush those Satyrs.”

“Got it! I’ll do that! We’ll show those Satyrs a lesson!”

Serinu was burning with the spirit of battle.

“Then go tell the pixies and come back here. I’ll take a quick look around the village.”

“Okay!”

Serinu’s face brightened up at the thought of crushing the Satyrs.

ㅡSwaying!

Serinu ran off so hastily that her breasts were swaying. I also came out with my girls.
