The Birth of Las Vegas
Altien hid his wife under the bed. He didn't know what methods the monsters that raided Jabyaba had used, but the brutal hands that had turned the guards into a bloody pulp had terrified his family. "Honey...!" "You must not make a sound!" Altien drew his sword. He had considered killing his wife with his own hands and then taking his own life rather than letting her be defiled, but when he saw her face through her glasses, weeping and trusting in him, he couldn't bring himself to commit such a mad act.
Bang! The door was kicked open. Orcs had broken into other houses as well, but for some reason, a robed orc had entered his. The orc's body, visible through the robe, was overflowing with muscle, and its face was covered in glowing red tattoos. Its belly looked fat even at a glance. "What's this? There were people here too?" "Y-you bastard! I'm the only one here!" "Cut the crap that won't even work on a child, and bring your family out right now." "......?" Altien's sword wavered for a moment. The orc picked its ear and looked annoyed. "I don't want to waste time. So, I'll give you three options that even Forneus could understand." The orc held up three fingers. "One, you die and come out as a corpse. Two, you get your legs broken and get dragged out. Three, you just walk out of the house obediently. I'll give you ten seconds. If you don't come out in ten seconds, at least it won't be the last time." The orc turned its back and walked outside. Altien almost dropped his sword, his face blank. A complex web of thoughts began to swirl in his head. If he really just walked out obediently, would they let him live? Or would he be stabbed the moment he stepped outside? Altien swallowed hard and looked under the bed. I'll go out first and check, so wait. Altien hesitated before stepping outside. There, numerous families were already huddled together near the plaza's fountain, kneeling. Some of the men showed signs of having been beaten, but there was no violence against those who did not resist.
"Are you alone? There's no one else inside?" The moment Altien stepped outside, the robed orc waiting there pushed Altien aside and went inside. "N-no!!" Creak. As soon as the orc entered, it lifted the bed. Below, the mother and daughter were lying flat, trembling in fear and shedding tears. "Do you want to crawl out yourself, or do you want to be dragged out by your hair? My arms are tired. I don't know when this thing might drop. Three, two, one-" Altien's wife rolled across the floor in a flash. At the same time, the orc slammed the bed down violently. If her judgment had been even a second slower, Altien's wife might have been crushed to death under the bed. "Haa, haa." "Get out." The orc walked away with long strides without even looking back. Altien rushed inside and hugged his wife. "Honey!" "T-there are so many people outside. For now, let's just do as they say." "The place is crawling with orcs! Are you crazy? What if something happens..." The couple couldn't finish their sentences. But to survive, they had no choice but to go outside.
Knock, knock. There was a knock from outside. It was a different orc than before, a large, handsome-looking orc. It was funny to call an orc handsome, but by human standards, he was a man of outstanding appearance. "If you resist, you die. If you don't resist, you don't die. We do not desire meaningless slaughter. Above all..." The orc pointed to the people outside. "We do not eat human flesh. But we do kill humans who do not listen." The orc began to fold down his fingers. The Altien family hurriedly left the house before the orc could fold all his fingers. The orc waited leisurely with only his pinky finger extended. "If you're out, just sit over there. There are one or two humans like you already." Altien crouched in the plaza with his wife. Everyone looked confused, and Altien happened to spot his friend, Eltien. "What is going on?" "...I don't know either. But it doesn't seem like they're trying to kill us." "They're orcs, aren't they?" "It's strange because they're acting like this even though they're orcs." The two were just confused. They wished someone would tell them the answer, but unfortunately, there was no one to do so. They had no choice but to wait for the robed orc who appeared to be the leader to say something.
Stomp, stomp. The orcs gathered in one place. The robed orc gave a long, elaborate explanation to those who looked like executives, and the executive orcs formed groups of three or four and scattered. The prisoners swallowed hard at the sight of the ordinary orcs surrounding them. Were they finally going to eat them all at once? "One, two, three, four..." The orcs began to count. Their fate was held in the hands of those orcs. What on earth was their intention? Sacrifices for the Demon King's army's ritual? Or perhaps kill the men and defile the women? Amidst the rising anxiety of the human prisoners, the woman with glasses was secretly scratching something into the ground with her hand. "Honey?" Altien's heart sank at his wife's behavior. His wife was staring at the robed orc and muttering something. It looked just like she was chanting a magic spell, and Altien's heart dropped into his stomach.
Total: 672 people. 320 men, 352 women. The number of elderly and children is approximately 200, and the number of young women is also around 200.
"I just told you to count the number of people, so why are you specifically asking for the number of young women?" "I thought you might need it." "Good, Eila. Well done." They were all targets to be driven out anyway, but if she worked this hard in the future, I would be grateful. The guards and men who resisted in the middle eventually became food for the Slime Dragon, and excluding them, about 670 people were taken prisoner. "Ryun, there weren't any particularly outstanding ones, were there?" "Yes. There wasn't anyone... like Meari!" Ryun scanned the young women gathered separately with her eyes to check their potential. Since it was impossible to find and press their erogenous zones one by one to check their grades, I had assigned Ryun the role of a chick sexer.
"Are you sure there really wasn't anyone?" "Master, do you not trust me?" "I trust you as much as your archery skills." "......I did well today, didn't I?" "Yes. That's a compliment. Wasn't your aim perfect today?" Coming out of the dungeon, Ryun's sniping skills were top-notch. Every guard on the watchtower was neutralized, and every threatening bastard had a hole blown in their head. The Slime Dragon had eaten them deliciously as well. Jabyaba, now to be called Las Vegas, had no use for human corpses. "Then now I have to drive out all 670 of these people." "Master, are you serious?" Eila seemed quite bothered by my saying I would drive them all out. Perhaps she felt some sympathy as a fellow human being for them being driven out penniless. I loaded a stinging remark for Eila. "Eila." "Aren't you going to use them as slaves?" "......?" "I thought if it were you, Master, you would kill all the men and turn all the women, young or old, into broodmares." "I know well what your image of me is in your heart. Of course, that thought crossed my mind, but if they stay here, it will lead to difficult situations in many ways." The anger and desire for revenge of those who had lost their homes would be significant, but at least it was much better than having parasites living in the lion's belly.
I called Ryun and Eila and carefully explained my intentions, taking care that the prisoners couldn't hear. "They'll only cause trouble if we leave them anyway. It's better to drive them all out and bring my subordinates here." "...Master, are you thinking of making this an orc village?" "Something like that." From the beginning, there was only one reason I had captured the city as intact as possible, including the fences. "I was so frustrated trying to build Las Village one by one that I couldn't do it." "So you're saying you took over a human city for that reason?" "There's not much difference between the way orcs and humans live. And Eila. This isn't just a city for orcs. Whether it's demons, monsters, humans, or elves, it will be the capital of our Legion, transcending races." What better way to show off the Legion's power than by occupying a human city? It was an act of pointing a sword directly at the Human Alliance, but even if we were defeated, we could just run away to Gremory's Dungeon if necessary. "It will become the city of pleasure, Las Vegas." "I see. I understand your will, Master. But wouldn't you need more slaves the more you do that? Since they are your children, I think their... sexual desires will also be vigorous." "Eila. We have one thing that differentiates us from the existing Demon King's army." The existing Demon King's army killed prisoners and everyone else indiscriminately, but the Legion of Wrath, unlike them, had no intention of touching ordinary civilians. "Capturing those kinds of people a hundred times over is not as good as capturing one female knight and defiling her." "Ugh." "What's the use of capturing powerless people? It would be different if we captured adventurers, female knights, or mages who pointed swords and spears at us. Yes, just like right now!"
I turned my body and swung my fist. A sharp, needle-like ice spear was shattered by my fist. The ice spear had been aimed precisely at Ryun's face. "......Master?" "Heh, you acted out of fear that you might be defiled. You foolish mage. Or are you just a bastard who knows how to use a little magic?" There was a mage among the 672 prisoners. I scanned the prisoners with a leisurely face. "One person has taken an impulsive action. Heh, thanks to one person doing something reckless, the other 671 are about to die. Ah, you shot magic, but I can't find the mage." I received a club from Eila. "Then there's no choice but to beat them one by one. Isn't it magic? Anyone, young or old, man or woman, should be able to use some magic. Right?" The humans were not ignorant enough not to understand my words. In the current situation where everyone was about to die because of one person, the humans began to glare at each other, wondering who had used the magic. "......." And one person. My eyes caught a woman with glasses who was following the gazes of others while also being anxious. She was following the gazes of those around her alone, strongly appealing as if she hadn't been the one to do it. Actually, I hadn't noticed. But I made eye contact with about three people pointing at her. They couldn't bring themselves to reveal who it was directly, but they were reporting with their eyes from different directions that the woman had used magic. "I know who it is. Confess obediently. If you confess within 10 seconds-" "That 10 seconds, 10 seconds! Shut up! I shot it, why!" The woman jumped up from her seat. The woman aimed a small wand at me from inside her robe. "Die!" Lightning sparked from the woman's wand. Lightning that looked like it would crisp me up sparked around me. But it didn't hurt at all. "You, did you try to kill me with something like that?" I jumped up from my seat and landed in front of the woman. The woman tried to run away, but she couldn't because there were other humans around. Thwack! As soon as I landed in front of the woman, I struck the back of her head. Not enough to kill her. She must not die. The woman spat blood on the floor, making a choking sound, and I grabbed the woman by the collar and returned to the fountain.
"Ah, ah. Ahem! Everyone, attention!" I climbed onto the fountain, holding the mage woman by the collar. The woman struggled to get away from me, but Eila swung her sword and knocked the wand away. "Listen well, you little humans born as Las." I had to make an example of the mage woman whose desperate attack had failed. If she had targeted me, I would have forgiven her by just beating her a few times, but I could not forgive her for daring to aim to kill Ryun. "I will banish you all. This place has now become my possession, and you have two choices." I pointed to the city, which had not been destroyed at all. "Stay here and live under my rule, or leave this city right now. You cannot reverse your decision. Once you leave, that's the end of it. Exactly 30 minutes later, I will open the main gate of this city. Those who want to leave the city, get up from this spot and leave in 30 minutes. I swear on my sperm. I will let those who leave obediently go obediently. However." I held the mage woman up high. The orcs of the squad where Ryun was the squad leader were already growling, knowing my intentions. "If you resist like this bitch or cause harm to our Legion, we will not act like gentlemen either. My creed is to repay more than what was done to me." Rip! "Kyaaaaack!!" I forcibly tore the mage woman's clothes. The woman's skin was fully exposed in the middle of the plaza. The prisoners turned their heads or closed their eyes, but some prisoners were swallowing hard and watching me. Surely he won't really do it. That was the look in their eyes. "Watch closely. What happens if you resist." I turned my head and looked behind Ryun. Ryun's squad members were already venting their anger at the fact that their squad leader had almost been hurt with their lower bodies. "This is our Legion's style of punishment." I threw the mage woman at the angry orcs. 30 minutes was enough time for 10 orcs to vent their anger.
