Should I or shouldn’t I? After giving it some thought, I finally decided to go in the end. Putting aside all the other considerations, losing that much potential fodder wasn’t something I could ignore. If I were to allow Violet Snow to have her way, all the Abaddon Rodents would be slaughtered and I would have to find another fodder race and that, was just a bother. Better to capture them now and be done with it. Finding a new target takes effort after all.
“Dearest, I heard that white puppy sent some news back.”Ever since that inexplicable engagement, Numila stuck to me like glue. Having just received that report myself, it didn’t take long before she came visiting after receiving news of the report herself. “Are you leaving to help her?”
“Julia, you should go have a rest too.” Ever since I had Julia help me with the crafting, our weapon production rate improved decently. Each day, we managed to craft over a hundred weapons.
Seeing that Numila was here, she might as well take a break now while I handled this. Pulling Numila out of the crafting area, “I expected hardly any resistance on the lizardman front. Since you’re back already and since Violet Snow seemed to have run into some problem, I think we should pay her front a visit. Those rats are numerous, just capturing half of them alive would basically solve our fodder problem.”
“So we’re going to battle then?” Being a battle enthusiast, her eyes immediately perked up as she heard that. “Dearest, when do we leave to help? Those lizards were just too weak, all we had to do was toss a couple of javelins and they just gave in…”
Well, it’s not like those lizardmen are idiots either. With no way to fly, why would they even take you head on. Besides, with that puppet ruler, Westley, as a mediator, I bet a majority of those lizardmen still thought that Habona was some reinforcement he brought in to contest the clan’s leadership.
Truth be told, the defensive quality of their scales weren’t that bad. Had it not been for gravity boosting the penetration of those sharpened bone javelins, those shoddy weapons probably wouldn’t be able to penetrate their scales even if you stabbed them till their tips wore out.
Thus, Violet Snow’s engagement with the ratmen was the true test of my air force. Furthermore, that was also the first time I deployed my hellhound cavalry. From the report I got, their performance wasn’t that bad either and there weren’t too many casualties.
Seeing that Violet Snow tossed the question back to me, naturally, I would pick the choice that benefited me the most.
“Ready your kinsharpies, we’re setting off tomorrow to aid Violet Snow.”
“Alright, Dearest’s the best, this one just knew that you would bring her along with you!” Grabbing my face, she firmly kissed me before running off giggling. Seeing as we were about to head for war, she naturally had a lot of preparation to do.
Such an anxious girl.
Originally, I only intended to bring her along while getting my bodyguard team leaders, No.3 and Big 4 to come along. However, Mimiya ended up tagging along out of boredom. On the other hand, her brother Xixidi didn’t seem all that eager to fight.
Once I left, the daily operations of our base would be temporarily left to Julia who in all honesty was probably a better manager than me. She was an extremely capable lust demon and even though her combat strength was kind of lacklustre, her managerial capabilities more than made up for it. Unlike her, I was a deadbeat with zero leadership experience. From kindergarten all the way to college, I never even got the chance to be a team leader let alone a class leader.
With the army gathered and ready to depart, the rest of the devils in the base came over to send us off. For the foot soldier section of this expedition, I brought along 2000 harpies and 300 guardsmen. At the same time, I had Numila, Mimiya, Vick, No.3 and Big 4 to accompany me as well.
Speaking of which, Vick and Mimiya seemed to be getting along pretty well. In fact, these two potatoes seemed to had been made for each other, after all, every potato needed an accompaniment. However, at least these two potatoes knew to behave around me and were currently standing quietly behind me though, who knew if they were making faces behind me.
“Julia, while I’m gone, all the matters in the base will be handled by you. Just make sure nothing major happens and don’t overwork yourself.”
Other than this lust demon, there really wasn’t anyone else dependable amongst my subordinates. Before knowing me, she already had experience managing over 2000 devils. Seeing as Mo En was basically a henpecked husband and didn’t care about such matters, she handled all the matters back then as well.
“Don’t worry, your Highness, I’ll handle everything well in your absence. I guarantee the plan will proceed smoothly.” Giving a stealthy kick to her husband, “You’ll help me as well, right Dearest?”
“…” Initially, Mo En was standing in a daze beside her wife when she suddenly kicked him. Not being able to react in time, the potato groggily answered, drool still dripping from his mouth, “Mhm mhm, the souls were delicious…”
“Dearest!” Seeing her husband act so out of line, her inner tigress immediately reared its head.
Throwing a vicious glare at her dunce of a husband, she said nothing but gave him the “you know what’s going to happen” look.
“…” Realizing that he was in trouble, he immediately got to his knees and hugged her thighs as he pleaded, “Noo…I still want to sleep on the bed tonight…you promised me already…you can’t just go back on your words like that…”
“Idiot! Who told you to talk about that!”
“But I really want to sleep on the bed…”
“Idiot, how could you talk about such things right now…”
“But I really don’t want to sleep on the floor…”
“Shut up!”
