Chapter 67 (1/2)

New Subordinates

“We're back, Master”

“Wafuu!”

Liscia, who rode on Lo's back, returned when I'm gazing at the Divinity Tree by myself. ‘Lo', is the Fenrir that's formerly a Divine Beast, I made it my subordinate and named it. It's now attached to me like a pup. In reality, even now, it's rubbing its nose on me and fawning on me. I look at Liscia while patting Lo's head and

“Hmm, it went smoothly, exactly as Master had imagined. It went too smoothly that it's a little scary”

Liscia, who folds her arms, frowns and makes a serious expression. It went that well huh. I merely just sowed the seed though.

What I did, I placed a curse on the swordsman who accompanies the considerably skilled female archer during the fight with the Empire previously.

The female archer was commanding a squad of several tens of thousands. I've heard on the way here that the Empire Army are dividing into troops of several tens of thousands and attacking so I'd slightly thought about it.

Originally, the plan was to release dead spirits in the town that those fellows are staying and let the dead spirits a.s.sault them in the dead of night.

And then, those fellows will probably become extremely suspicious if I show them the sight of that female archer's subordinate, who suffered the curse, being the only one not attacked by the dead spirits. By any chance, they'll think that somebody lent a hand.

However, this time around, I was somehow able to make the Divine Beast my subordinate. It's quite powerful and it's an opponent that even Liscia has a tough time with. If something like that attacks the town, they'll naturally be stunned, and an opponent like that somehow returned without doing anything. It's clear as day that he'll naturally be suspected if we make them think, ‘In spite of the fact that it appeared before his eyes'.

If I increase it by one or two people from now on, they'll probably be torn by internal strife on their own. Well, this time around, it seems the female archer's subordinate was suspected and arrested before I did that though.

“I guess they're on bad terms right from the start. Although it's not restricted to the army, there are lots of men who envy women who have more strength and authority than themselves, who are men. Liscia, you also died because of that reason so you understand, right?”

“Humph, I suppose so. However, if that's the case then I'm getting irritated at the Empire! Master! Can I attack them one more time!?”

“Gauu!”

Liscia who's gotten all pumped up by herself upon hearing what I say. Lo, who was influenced by that, looks at me with sparkling eyes. How much do they want to rampage.

“Well, wait. My preparation's also almost done”

I say that and do the finis.h.i.+ng touches. In my right hand, I'm grabbing a leash of black magic power and the end of it is twining around the Divinity Tree. And then I'm placing my left hand on the ground and pouring magic power into the ground.
