The Legendary Rebuilding of a World by a Realist Demon King

Chapter 10

Drifted Relic, Izuminokami Kanesada

While the skeleton engineers and orcs dug the moat, I focused on strengthening my army.

As expected, much of the materials we had taken from Sabnacs storehouse contained things that would be useful in making kobolds.

And other beast monsters.

I wonder why? Eve answered this question.

Sabnac is known as the Demon King of the beastkin. It is only natural that he would gather materials related to them.

I see.

Yes. Sabnacs body may look human, but he has the head of a lion. He is even called the Lion King by some.

Thats a very imposing name.

In truth, he is strong. While his army is middling because he is not great with magic, he is no F rank Demon King if judged as an individual warrior.

I understand. So he is a meathead Demon King. He can only depend on his personal strength.

In short, yes.

Then it will be worth playing a little trick on him.

Do you have an idea?

I do. But for now, hand this map to our engineers with these instructions.

This is!?

Eve was quick enough to immediately understand what I was thinking.

Very good, master. The lions claws will never reach you now.

She said with approval.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Save it for when it succeeds. There is much to prepare in advance.

Even if Sabnac was an F rank Demon King, that was just a general comparison between him and the others. His forces were still far ahead of my own.

And so I would have to use the kind of strategy that a weakling would use.

From the recent assault and from what you told me, I understand that our enemies army consists of beastkin. So we will have to summon many monsters that are strong against beastkin.

A wonderful idea.

Beastkin are sharp and strong in physique, but their attacks are mostly physical. There are not many who can use magic. So I think to make a unit of ghosts and wraiths who are immune to physical attacks.

Very good, master.

And so Eve brought over materials that seemed optimal for making such specters.

With those materials, I made twenty wraiths that were immune to physical attacks.

Rarity: Silver Rare

Race: Ghost, Wraith

Job: Magician

Fighting Ability: 211

Skills: Physical Immunity, Deadly Curses

Such was their abilities.

Now the fight will be quite one-sided.

Eve said with a hint of optimism. But I casually disagreed.

No. While he may have fewer magicians, he still has them. And I am sure there will be enchanted weapons as well. I could lose if I rely on the wraiths alone.

I understand.

And so I will also summon some powerful beast monsters.

As I mentioned before, there were many materials related to beasts among our spoils of war. I thought to combine them to summon a powerful beast.

Even if it did not compare to The Lion himself, I would be happy to have a beast that could at least kill kobolds and warcats with one hand.

In order to summon something that was a rank above the rest, I dumped all of the materials we had taken from Sabnac into the pot and poured magic into it.

The thing that was born from this, was the infamous Werewolf.

Werewolf. A humanoid monster that was also called a lycanthrope.

This monster was covered in hair and had the head of a wolf.

It was one of the advanced species among the beastkin.

And its status was fitting of that advanced rank.

Rarity: Gold Rare

Race: Beastkin, Werewolf

Job: Warrior

Fighting Ability: 591

Skills: Sharp Nose, Accelerated Healing

These numbers were higher than any monster I had summoned before.

It was with tremendous luck that I was able to summon ten of them.

There were a little leftover materials that I used to summon goblins and orcs. And then my Ashtaroth army was complete.

Now, I wasnt too far behind Sabnac in terms of numbers and quality.

Eve smiled when I said this.

Then your victory is guaranteed. If the armies are of comparable strength, then it is only a matter of the quality of their leaders. And I do believe that you outstrip him in that way.

I can only hope.

I say lightheartedly. And so I decided to gather the soldiers and train them.

Strong soldiers needed training, otherwise, they were no different than animals.

It was only after I had united these unique creatures and am able to command them as if commanding my own limbs, that I would be able to breathe easily.

Until then, I had to stay ready and never let my guard down.
