Chapter 29 (1/2)

Lizardmen’s Invasion

There is a lake in the center of the Jura Forest, called shi+su

A marsh surrounds the lake, and is controlled by the Lizardmen

Countless caves surround their lands, for any invasion

Protected thus by the land itself, the Lizardmen peacefully ruled over the lake

However, one day, troubling news reached them

The orc ar to the lake

The Head, upon hearing these news, quickly issued orders

「Prepare for battle! We’ll crush them!!!」

The Head was full of confidence

Had they fought on the plains itthe Lizardmen’s were outnumbered,

But this battle would be on their terms

If they set traps and proceed carefully, they were sure to win

While sending some to prepare for battle, he also sent a reconnaissance teaate the orcs

Knowing the size of the enemy is a must

Along with becoence increased

The carnivorous Lizardmen would individually rank as a C+ monster

The warriors could reach B-, and so them could even reach B rank

The total nu half of their entire population to arms

However, even so, their abilities are rather highly ranked

If they properly cooperate and fight as a single unit, they can easily rival the army of a small human country

Thus, this battle seee

There is no ill lose! So thought their head

However, his heart was still heavy

Orcs were typically a race that wouldn’t attack those stronger than themselves

And by no means are Lizardmen weaker

Had they attacked the goblins, then it would’ve made some sense… but why them?

And thus the question slowly grew into unease that tormented him

A bold personality, but with enough humility That was the Head of the Lizardmen who ruled them carefully for many years

And this lizard’s fears were soon to come true

That much was confirmed but the reconnaissance team

The orcs numbered 200 thousand!!!

Iht

The orcs were indeed a race bursting with life, renown for their reproductive abilities However, even then, to prepare 200 thousand warriors was unthinkable

Hoere they able to procure enough food?

Who had united that reedy orcs under one banner?

With their power, at most a thousand would follow…

The best the head could do would be raise an army for twenty thousand

Are they divided into sections controlled by so individuals?

But even so, someone has to unite the leaders…

It couldn’t have been…

The ht evoked fear

He wanted to reject that thought with all his ht

That’s how terrifying that existence was The… Orc Lord, said to be born once in many hundreds of years!

However, no ht, only that entity could have achieved such results

If… if the Orc Lord has indeed been born, then the advantage he so depended on would probably be less

If they fight norh troops!

So the Head thought

What could they do to escape from this predicament?

If his worries proved mistaken, he would only jump for joy However, one has to prepare for any circumstance before the decisive battle

So he decided to call for reinforcements

And thus he sent one of his subordinates

Unfortunately, it was that subordinate that caused the chaos

Lizard the orders from the head, left the marshes

Taking with him a hundred warriors

Gabil was not pleased

To hi orders fro!

I am a chosen one! That very fact was the root of Gabil’s pride and confidence

A certain devil he had ranted him this name

「You show promise! Someday, I’ll come back to call you to my side!」

So the great devil told him

He remembers those words as if they were said yesterday

My great master, the devil Gelmudo himself bestowed this name upon me!

So how could I be satisfied working under those low class lizardmen and their pathetic leader?

For Gelmudo-sama’s sake, I must take control of the lizardmen…

Gabil kept thinking the sa: is this fine? Of course not!

In that case, what should he do?

The orders froe and to request their assistance

He did allow some forceful coercion, but strictly forbid any action that would prompt a violent response

Pathetic! So thought Gabil

We should just conquer the goblins! We should have soo as planned!

Yes!

We have no need for the weak head who overestimates the power of some lowly orcs!

Isn’t this the chance for take over that I aiting for?

It is So–how should I proceed?

Those lowly goblins can at least serve as ather them up and put those lowlifes to use

Ten thousand goblins should be useful

Wait… I got a better idea

This is the perfect opportunity to show the world our power!

My power!

For that goal, I should proceed carefully here

Carefully, without letting

First, gather forces

This Gabil will proceed onward to the Goblin village!

For the sake of reat ambition!

The goblin village chiefs gathered with paled faces

Conificantly dwindled
