Episode 374: Battle With The Count (3)

“Wow, Lady Juria! You’ve worked so hard!”

“Hoh hoh hoh, it’s nothing. It wasn’t hard at all.”

As soon as I stepped outside, I grabbed Juria’s hand and praised her for her hard work. Look at them. The eyes of the Lamia recruits were extraordinary. Juria only selected the best when she came here.

“Did you handle the work well?”

“As per Master’s command.”

“Hehehe! Wonderful! You did very well!”

If she followed my instructions precisely, she handled it well.

In the first place, Juria was smart. Even though she was a Lamia, she was more of a thinker. Things would work out well in the future.

“Then, how about giving me a report?”

“First, I picked a strong and smart guy and put him in there. He will contact me regularly in the future, and he will offer tribute. Mainly jewels.”

“Oh oh!”

“Now there’s only Lamia there. Since they took over most of the activity area, it seems like the Lamia’s power will increase a little in the future. Then there will be more tributes.”

“That’s good!”

Since the Lamias had taken over that big jungle, their power would grow in the future, and the jewels from that land would flow to us.

“As expected, you are trustworthy! Lady Juria!”

“Then the reward…”

“Of course! First, let the other Lamias take a good rest. After you take a good rest, Lady Juria, let’s do some training and start the war.”

I immediately explained the war plan with the Count to Juria.

“Huh huh huh, are we going to war with humans again?”

“That’s right.”

Juria, who enjoyed war, smiled like a snake.

“But be cautious. The Count is the strongest of all the opponents we’ve faced so far. Please consider all your combat experience up to today as practice matches to prepare for the Count.”

“Yes, I will.”

The times were pushing us.

We took full advantage of the information and technical advantages to make the most of the current situation, and by fighting many small battles, we won without casualties and rapidly increased our power by absorbing the loser’s strength.

Normally, it should be precarious.

If I were human and the Goblins were human, there would have been many individuals with different perspectives and complaints as they grew rapidly.

On the other hand, we didn’t have that issue.

It was all because I was an incubus.

In this way, succubi and incubi could be considered naturally commanding species with excellent abilities from a military standpoint.

If you were assured of your subordinates’ loyalty, what was there to fear?

Anyway, we developed like that, and now it was time to overcome the formidable Count. Let’s focus on that for now.

“Hmm, but I think we need to train the recruits properly before we proceed. Even if we put them into actual combat… they’ll just follow behind and observe anyway. If their proficiency is lacking, they may stray from the formation, so we need to push them hard.”

“That’s exactly it, Lady Juria.”

“I’ll report as soon as the training reaches an appropriate level. I think it would be better to go to war immediately.”

“Oh, are you planning to go right after the recruit training is complete?”

“Yes, as Master knows.”

ㅡSheek.

A tongue that moved like a snake.

“All of our Lamias are eager for battle. I want to taste human blood. I want to show the recruits more of our overwhelming presence.”

“Hehehe, that’s good. Now, before we start training, let’s give you a hearty reward.”

“Yes…”

Juria, blushing as if embarrassed, stroked her cheek.

Since that day, I had been training hard and receiving armor and equipment from the artisan guild, which had been transformed into a sort of factory-made handicraft complex.

I thought it was too leisurely while the castle was under attack, but originally, siege warfare was more challenging. The Count had not captured our castle and was suffering the resulting losses.

Judging that it would be okay to start the war if we held out a little longer, I decided to go to war after completing all preparations.

“Everyone! Did you rest well after going to the jungle?”

Standing on the platform, I delivered a speech while looking at my army.

“Keryak! We rested well!”

“Good! It seems like you rested well! Then it’s time to work again! We are now starting the war with the Count!”

The briefing began.

“We killed three barons sent by the Count in the past and took their land! Currently, Vera is sending her subordinates to manage those three territories!”

ㅡKoo-oong!

With my fist clenched tightly, I burned my magic power and shouted, emitting light from my eyes!

“One of those castles is being attacked by the Count! It’s the Baron’s castle closest to his base and, in other words, farthest from our territory! We will attack the Count’s army that attacked there, cut down his power, and then enter into an all-out war! Do you understand?”

ㅡKeryaaaaaak!

ㅡKeureureureuk!

ㅡGyusaaaaaaat!

My subordinates shouted at my clear explanation. Military operation basics like this must be communicated to my subordinates.

An army that clearly knew what they were doing fought better.

“All! Carry out combat preparations! Gather back at the training ground after completing preparations!”

“Kereuk kereuk! Move quickly!”

The soldiers went straight into the building.

“Good.”

This would be a commemorative war.

This was the first time Vera’s army and my army would join forces to fight. The two armies would attack the Count’s army from both sides, and I would capture all the data derived from there to establish a strategy.

“Hoo.”

Now it was a real war.

It was no exaggeration to say that all the experiences I had up to today were to defeat the Count this time. There were still angels left in the next stage, but for now, just do this.

“Kereuk! Master! All goblins have completed combat assembly!”

“Good job!”

All the commanders reported the completion of the assembly in that way.

“Commence the march!!!”

I gave the marching order.

The die had already been cast.

All that was left was to do our best to make the roll a 6.

“Be careful not to spread out the recruits, Buril. They’re not as strong as the veterans yet.”

“Of course, Master! I’m good at that! Kereuk!”

“Hehehe, this guy is just perfect. But Buril, how’s your magic use going? Is it working out well?”

“Kereuk kereuk. Of course. Take a look at this. Kereuk.”

ㅡHwareuk!

Immediately, Buril showed off his fist with an aura flowing from his eyes.

“I can use it freely now, Kereuk.”

“Crazy! Buril, you’re a master now!”

“Kereuk kereuk. I had a sparring match with a Dark Elf warrior in full armor, and I was able to block everything, surprisingly, Kereuk.”

“Wow! Already at that level!”

“But I couldn’t attack properly. They dodged everything.”

“That’s something you can do if you hone your skills a little more. Wow, you’ve gotten so strong already. I’m so proud of you.”

It felt like I had gained a thousand troops.

ㅡSeuk seuk.

I stroked Buril’s helmet.

Buril, who had been repeating training and practical experience and awakened his magic power, was already an elite warrior. He was on par with those Dark Elf warriors.

“Once this battle is over, you’ll be one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Goblin General Buril.”

“Kereuk! General?! What’s the rank of a general?”

“Brigadier General.”

“Stars!”

He was so excited at the thought of getting stars. Then I should give him a nickname… Since he was green, how about General Green Buril?

“Hehehe, Buril, don’t you want anything to commemorate your promotion?”

“Anything I want? Well, I’m fine with meat and equipment as long as I have strength. Kereuk.”

“That’s all you need? Really!”

This guy!

Didn’t you have anything for me!

The moment I thought that,

“Oh, why are you like this? Kereuk. I was about to say the most important thing.”

“What?”

“It’s Master’s recognition…!”

“You little punk!!!”

He was making me so emotional!

“You’re my brother! Hehehe!”

“I’m your brother, Kereuk! Kereuk kereuk!”

He was so happy.

ㅡBuwoong!

As we were doing that, Serinu flew in.

“What are you talking about?!”

“Hey, Serinu. Buril’s gotten really strong.”

“I know! He blocked all my attacks!”

Oh, did you test that too?

“And Buril is a general now. Call him General.”

“Oh my gosh! A general! Kyaaaa!”

Buril said bluntly, watching Serinu make a fuss.

“Aren’t you a queen, Kereuk?”

Should I make him a Goblin King later?

In such a friendly atmosphere, we marched with thorough perimeter security, and after a few days, we arrived at the war zone.

“We’ve arrived. I can see the castle.”

Vanessa said with her arms crossed.

“All troops stop! Serinu! This way!”

“Okay!”

As soon as I called Serinu, I summoned the Evil Eye.

A monster that would be my other eye.

“Hold this and go up and check the war situation. Be careful of enemy ranged attacks.”

“I got it!”

As soon as I closed one eye, my vision vibrated.

ㅡBuwoong!

Serinu took my Evil Eye and flew up. After adjusting the view for a while… Okay. I could see well.

“Oh.”

I was impressed.

The Count’s army was currently stationed outside our castle. But it was unusual. Unlike the armies of the barons we had crushed so far, they looked very strong.

“A proper infantry unit and rear cavalry… with archer and mage units? They even brought siege weapons?”

Even while fighting the angels, they sent so many soldiers.

I was impressed by the Count’s ability.

Anyway, let’s see… I heard that archer and mage units were the core forces against angels. Without mages and archers, they couldn’t respond to the aerial bombardment.

So, the Count had a very skilled ranged unit.

“…”

I thought about how to attack them.
