Episode 286: Land War (7)

Whatever it was, it was a gift from the Duchess of the Demon Realm. Now, I was suddenly getting really excited.

What could it be?

“Karuti, what is it? I’m really curious about this.”

“Yeah, I figured you’d be curious. But sorry, Brother Kyuse. We’re still in the stage of selecting the gift. We can’t send everything due to the situation. I think they’ll pick a few and send them down.”

It seemed that even Karuti didn’t know what had been decided yet. Let’s try to predict for a moment. Demons were a species that used magic very well. They also had many tools imbued with magic.

Were they planning to give something like that?

“Karuti, in my opinion… I think a gift that can aid in the war would be best.”

“Of course! We’re always considering that on our side as well! The gift will definitely help Brother Kyuse conduct the war more efficiently!”

“Hehe, I’m looking forward to it. But since they’re sending something, maybe they could send a little more…”

“That’s the tricky part. Anything containing too much magical power gets bounced back while crossing the dimensional barrier. It’s all because those pesky angels have already laid their traps. So, we’re limited to sending only a few items that won’t get deflected.”

“Those damned angels, they’re truly despicable.”

Nothing ever went smoothly because of them.

But if I could turn into a fallen angel, that would be a great help. I’d essentially become my own aerial artillery unit. For now, since I was receiving a gift, something to take down angels more effectively would be great.

“Anyway, Brother Kyuse, you’ve done really well. There are many factors to consider, but fighting a war without any deaths is truly a difficult thing to accomplish.”

“There were a lot of injuries though.”

Thanks to thorough preparations, there were no casualties. After all, only the heavily armored Lamias and Goblins clashed directly.

The Goblin shield soldiers were primarily composed of the larger ones. These guys, equipped with large reinforced iron shields and clad in plate armor, weren’t going to die easily.

We didn’t engage in a head-on battle this time either. To minimize our losses, we simply carried out a surprise attack.

“There’s nothing you can do about that. Well, Brother Kyuse, all you need to do is prepare to receive the gift on your end. Just do your thing, and it will be sent to you soon.”

“Hehe, I’ll be waiting.”

And with that, the conversation with Karuti ended.

“Hoo.”

This was quite something. My expectations were growing by the minute. Now, I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said I was favored by the Duchess. I’d be living comfortably for the time being, as Karuti would be giving me even more powerful support.

A balancing act.

I needed to tread carefully.

The more help I got from the Demon Realm, the more I gained, but the greater the danger became. Even in this battle, it was because of the information Karuti provided that I was able to anticipate the situation and prepare early.

Karuti’s support was immense. Enough to change the course of a war.

But conversely, the moment that support from the Demon Realm disappeared, I would become just another ordinary lord.

“…”

The life of a lord was truly difficult.

ㅡCreak, creak, creak.

“Ahhhng♥ Aaaahhhng♥”

“Hmmmph♥”

“M-Master♥ Aaahhh♥”

I controlled the tentacles, violating the dark elves all at once. The magical tentacles wrapped around their bodies, restraining them, while other tentacles teased their nipples and thrusted into their vaginas.

As the sexy dark elves shook their lewd bodies, they let out obscene moans.

Just watching this scene… it got me incredibly excited.

ㅡCreak, creak, creak.

Using tentacles to violate them. This too was an act that consumes magical power. However, right now, I was training multiple dark elves all at once.

In other words, my recovery rate surpassed the rate of magic consumption.

The magic I spread to my subordinates during the morning roll call was quickly recovering. It was a routine repetition like this: I buffed my subordinates during roll call, and then recovered my magic by training the women.

While I was at it, I also relieved my sexual desire by being with Nekri.

“Hoo.”

After finishing the session of violation and magic recovery, I headed to the personal training grounds. This was an outdoor training ground.

ㅡWhoooosh.

Standing in the training ground, I slowly managed the magic I just recovered. The more I used the magic within my body, the more my proficiency increased.

ㅡFwoosh.

Immediately, I generated a flame in my hand.

Then,

ㅡBang!

I shot it into the air.

It was a very fine display of dark magic. The magic bullet soared high into the sky and then, like fireworks, it exploded.

“Nice.”

I was satisfied.

But honestly, even though my magic control was quite high, it was not specialized for combat.

What I specialized in was giving women pleasure or brainwashing them. As for the other skills? Aside from buffing my subordinates, the rest were pretty much useless.

Even the magic bullet I just shot.

If it hit someone, sure, it could cause some serious damage. But as a lord, when would I be attacking a single enemy soldier in a war? Almost never.

In conclusion, my offensive dark magic was practically useless.

“Still.”

ㅡBang!

In terms of sending a signal like fireworks, it was quite useful. While I was practicing some dark magic like that,

“It’s time.”

Vanessa arrived. The promised time had come.

“Well then, let’s check your physical abilities today.”

“Please do, Lady Vanessa.”

“But, do I really have to wear this?”

Vanessa spoke, her face flushed with embarrassment. Currently, Vanessa was dressed only in the bikini armor I had requested. Though it hasn’t been enforced yet, I planned to issue some guidelines when I have more time.

For example, something like this: When working inside the castle—meaning when they were often in my presence—every woman must wear specially designated attire.

Of course, those clothes would be extremely lewd.

Sexy nun outfits.

Sexy maid outfits.

Sexy bikini armor.

There were plenty of options to consider.

“Just looking at you helps me recover my energy. It’s quite efficient, actually.”

As an incubus, just seeing something so erotic gave me strength. In other words, designating their attire would be for efficiency.

“Tsk. Just get started already.”

“Yes.”

I immediately grabbed the practice sword and get into position. Then, I moved my body in sync with Vanessa’s commands.

“Ha!”

ㅡSwoosh!

Repeated movements of sword swings. After a bit of that, we conducted a simple stamina test, and at the end, I sparred with Vanessa.

ㅡBang!

Of course, there was no way I could win. Vanessa was someone who had trained with the sword, while I was not. Even so, Vanessa matched my level while only defending. And she did it quite skillfully.

“Feeling tired?”

“Not at all. I still have plenty of energy.”

Though the sparring lasted a while, I didn’t feel tired at all.

“As I expected. That’s enough. Let’s end the sparring here.”

“Yes.”

I immediately lowered the sword.

“So, how is it? My physical ability?”

“Both your strength and speed are beyond imagination.”

“Oh, that’s a good evaluation.”

“You haven’t even received proper martial training, have you?”

“That’s correct. I haven’t had the time for it.”

I was not a knight who fought on the frontlines. I barely had time for martial training. Even when I did, it was just at the level of basic physical exercises.

“As it stands, I think you have an extraordinary body with immense potential. Such strength and reaction speed. You’d make an excellent knight if you pursued it. If you trained properly, I’m sure I would lose to you in terms of physical ability.”

“You think I have that much potential?”

It seemed my body was better than I expected… Well, I supposed that made sense. I had been with a lot of women. All of them were sexy, with incredible bodies and exceptional abilities, so as an incubus, it would be foolish not to grow stronger.

“Of course.”

“Hehehe, thank you for the praise.”

“It’s just a natural assessment. What do you think? Would you like to focus on martial training from today onward?”

“Unfortunately, I’m a lord. I can’t spend my time like a knight.”

It was more beneficial to spend my time on other things than martial training.

“Even so, training in martial arts could help you prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.”

“Isn’t that exactly what my personal guard is for? They’re the ones who should prepare for those possibilities.”

“…I suppose that’s true.”

“I’m surrounded by plenty of women who can protect me, so there’s no need for me to train in martial arts. I’ll stick to basic exercises, though.”

“Honestly. Depending on women for everything? Where else could you find such an absurd man?”

Vanessa sighed, shrugging her shoulders with a look of disappointment.

“By the way, Lady Vanessa? You look great in that bikini armor.”

“W-Wait! I’m all sweaty right now…!”

Since we were alone, after all…

“Let’s try a different kind of training.”

I whispered as I started caressing Vanessa’s body.

“Hmmph!”

This bikini armor was really great.

Wait a minute.

Maybe I should gather more female knights and create my very own sexy bikini armor knight squad? Just imagining being surrounded by knights in bikini armor makes me excited.

As expected, designated attire was important.

“It seems the envoy has arrived.”

“Oh, they came quicker than I thought?”

“Isn’t there the issue of succession? Delaying this would only cause more losses. They must have hurried as soon as they received word.”

“I see. Well then, let’s bring in the envoy first.”

I immediately told Reika to bring in the envoy. It was an envoy from the Barony of Helson. The son of Baron Helson seems to be quite efficient.

We were about to enter negotiations regarding the compensation.

Currently, the body of Baron Helson had been embalmed and was lying in an elegant coffin, wrapped in his own banner. With this level of respect shown, there should be no reason for conflict.

“Let’s go, then.”

“Yes.”

Together with the Saintess, I headed to the audience chamber to wait for the envoy. There isn’t much for me to do here. The Saintess is better at handling political matters than I am.

I just need to stay by her side and serve as her guard.

As we waited, Reika informed us that the envoy had arrived at the door, and the Saintess immediately told her to let them in.

ㅡCreak.

“I greet the great and merciful Saintess.”

The envoy who entered bowed politely. The Saintess also acknowledged him with a brief gesture and immediately began the negotiations.

“The Barony of Helson must take full responsibility for all of this. To wage a territorial war without even declaring it… This is a grave insult, is it not?”

“Yes… Saintess.”

“Nonetheless, we have taken great care to honor the body of Baron Helson with utmost respect.”

And so, the discussion began.
