The Jungle Guerrillas
I need to think about this seriously. Is there nothing I can do with my demonic power? Perhaps I could create something like a rod of mana with my own strength and make it move on its own.
I finished my preparations for the operation while mulling over such thoughts, and then I set off. Although we were just going to maintain the farmland, everything the army does is an operation.
It must be carried out swiftly and accurately.
"Alright, we've arrived! Hoburi! And Jurassic!"
"Shwak! Yes! Demon King!"
"Gurak! Please give us your orders!"
These guys have their military discipline perfectly in check, don't they? I really like the look of that. From now on, they’re my family, too. I’m starting to grow fond of them, and they feel quite precious to me.
"From today, you are tasked with cultivating and guarding this place. Do you understand?"
"Gurak! Understood!"
"Shwak? Cultivate? I don't know that?"
"I'll teach you, you idiot."
Since the place had been neglected for quite a while, it was overgrown with weeds.
"Let's start with the work. You guys. Go get the shovels and farm tools and clear out all these weeds. Execute!"
"Gurak! Execute!"
"Shwaaaak...! Understood!"
Hoburi and Jurassic immediately began barking orders at their subordinates. It was basically an order to grab the tools and destroy every single blade of grass here. And so, they lined up and began the work.
—Thwack!
—Thwack!
They’re shoveling quite vigorously. It might take some time, but they’ll get it done somehow.
"Hey guys! You can take off your armor while you work! No! Not the sentries! You guys are on duty!"
As I was giving those orders...
"Shaa, Demon King. Just a moment."
"Hm? Sharan, why... Oh."
Wow. She’s only grown a little taller and her breasts and hips have filled out slightly, but Sharan standing next to me felt a bit unfamiliar. She used to have the cuteness of a well-behaved large dog, but now she feels more like an older sister.
"Demon King. We're supposed to pull out all the weeds here, right?"
"Yeah. We have to clear them all out before we can plant anything. I’m planning to destroy them all before we start."
"Shaa. Got it."
—Nod.
Sharan nodded and reached out her hand.
—Vwoooom.
Then, a mysterious light—a mix of light green and purple—began to emanate from her hand with a low hum.
—Rustle.
—Rustle, rustle.
"Oh, oh oh?"
Suddenly, the weeds began to wither at an incredible speed! It was as if they’d been hit by an area-of-effect spell! The vast expanse of weeds that had taken root in the earth were shriveling up and dying!
"Wow. Sharan, that's amazing! Your abilities have gotten stronger."
"Lumika has probably gotten stronger, too."
"Hehehe, I want to check it out quickly."
Lumika, who was stuck to Sharan's side, gestured with her hands, showing her eagerness.
No, but more importantly!
"No way! Sharan!"
"Shaa?"
"Can you kill those kinds of plants in groups now too!"
"Shaa. Nutrients? I suck them out and make them wither. And then I'm returning those nutrients to the soil."
"The farmland is becoming fertile...! This is just too amazing!"
It’s a perfect skill!
"Is Sharan amazing?"
"Yeah! Extremely amazing!"
"Shaa-sha."
Perhaps feeling good, Sharan smiled and rubbed her head against me. This is incredible. The work speed is insane. She’s doing in an instant what would have taken an entire platoon of soldiers shoveling their hearts out!
"Sharan. How much more can you do?"
"Shaa... I think I can do about half of the target."
"My god!"
The power is immense!
"If Demon King gives me 'white stuff' in the middle, I can do even more."
"As expected of an Alraune! Sharan, you're so precious!"
"Shaa-sha."
A dramatic evolution!
Originally, Sharan's ability was only enough to assist with farming, but at this rate, she could lead the whole thing by herself!
"Gurak...!"
"Shwak! Amazing!"
The Hobgoblins and Lizardmen were about to fall over in shock after seeing Sharan's magic. I’m stunned as well. No, I feel awe. Is this what a nature spirit is?
"Sharan, wait. Stop."
"Shaa?"
"That. Let's try making a fence this time."
"Yes, Demon King. Ah, it's easier if Lumika helps too."
"Because of the water? Then Lumika, you go too."
"Okay. Got it."
"You guys, keep removing the weeds!"
Sharan and Lumika really have great chemistry. With the Grass and Water attributes, they’re a dream team.
"Then from here. Please make some pillars or something here."
The area of the farmland is quite large. Once we clear out all the weeds, vines, and plants, it’ll be quite expansive. Just surrounding it with a fence is a massive undertaking.
But with Sharan's enhanced power, we can lighten the burden.
"Lumika. Please draw some water over here."
"Like this?"
—Swoooosh.
As Lumika gestured, I began to feel a surge of mana.
"I'm drawing up groundwater. Just wait a moment."
"Ohhh...! As expected of Lumika!"
"But Demon King, I said I was a Rusalka, right? Did it not change even though I evolved?"
"That is..."
I roughly knew that a Dryad evolves into an Alraune, but I didn't know what a Rusalka becomes, so I decided to just leave it as is.
"Yeah. A Rusalka is a Rusalka."
"It feels a bit disappointing."
"The important thing is that you've grown."
"Is that so... Ah. Sharan. You can do it now."
"Shaa."
Sharan immediately used her power.
—Snap!
At the same time, tough, tree-like vines began to sprout vertically from the ground. Very vigorously. Truly satisfying!
"Oh. Just about this height is fine."
And then, after walking about 3 meters, she did it again.
"Shaa... Demon King. This is harder than killing grass. I don't think I can do much of it."
"I know. So let's take it slow, little by little. It's just support, so do it comfortably."
Ah, then we should have Sharan space out the pillars she makes, and have the others fill in the gaps.
"Wow! With just Sharan and Lumika, farming is invincible! Farming invincible!"
If we can properly secure the farmland area, we can feed as many soldiers as we want. There’s no need to worry about water, and Sharan is an expert on plants. We can't lose.
If we do this right, we might be able to freely support a battalion-level force without any food issues. And as the number of troops grows, the size of the land we can occupy grows with it.
"I really love you! Sharan! Lumika! I love you so much! Why are you so pretty?"
"Shaaat!"
"Ah...! Demon King, if you hug me like that..."
Anyway, they’re just too adorable.
"Alright guys! Let's eat and then get back to it!"
In that way, I happily carried out the work with my subordinates.
"Then, Vanessa. Please provide proper supplies to the ones who went to cultivate. Go and check if they're working well. Sharan, you follow her and continue the work I assigned. Serineu, you can have the kids patrol according to the duty roster."
After finishing the morning roll call.
I gave the executives their daily tasks. But no matter what tasks they do, it won't be as hard as what the Dark Elves are going through.
"And Nekri!"
"Y-yes... Demon King."
"As you know, the Dark Elves will begin guerrilla training starting today. Thus, they will be reborn as combat experts. From today, the Dark Elves will become warriors of jungle warfare. Do you understand?"
That's right.
Guerrilla training.
I decided to train the Dark Elves into experts of jungle warfare. What is important in jungle warfare? Physical strength and endurance are basic. What’s important is stealth and the ability to overcome obstacles. Both are very important in guerrilla training.
The Dark Elves' physical abilities are better than humans'.
These women will sweep through the jungle, even better than the Viet Cong.
Those who invade this jungle in the future? Let them get a taste of the Dark Elf guerrilla unit's sharpness.
"The hunting trap techniques the Dark Elves possess are quite useful. Have them modified to be even more lethal, and first, we will proceed with physical training. Everyone, assemble."
"Assemble! Understood... I'll go call them all."
"Oh, I like the repetition of orders. Anyway, they'll undergo guerrilla training and be reborn as jungle combat experts!"
"I'll work hard."
The Dark Elves are already completely tamed. How great it is that they listen so well. Then, shall we go to the guerrilla training? I've already scouted a suitable site. From terrain features to obstacles. It's a place that couldn't be better for training.
As I was about to head out...
"Demon King."
Sharan, who was supposed to follow Vanessa, approached me.
"Hm? Sharan, why?"
"Sharan wants to do guerrilla training with Demon King too."
Look at her saying something so absurd with that cute voice and tone. Sharan probably doesn't even understand how terrifying the thing she just said is.
"Sharan. Guerrilla training is a very grueling and difficult task. I can't make you do something like that."
"Sharan wants to be reborn as a combat expert too. Let's go together, Demon King. Shaa-sha."
Sharan, smiling while flapping her ears...!
No! That place is hell! I can't send a kind girl like Sharan!
"No! Sharan! I told you, guerrilla training is too hard and terrible!"
"It's not terrible at all if I'm next to Demon King."
"Kuh...!"
This won't do... No, wait.
Sharan is ultimately humanoid. If she improves her combat ability in the jungle by doing guerrilla training like the Dark Elves, that would be good, too.
"Alright, Sharan. But instead, you're going to the farmland tomorrow, okay?"
"Yes, Demon King."
"Okay. Then tell Vanessa and let's get ready."
I have something to prepare, too.
Right after sending Sharan away, I went to visit the Saintess. They are still tied up. But it must be reaching their limit soon.
"What is it again today...! Kugh?!"
"I'll feed you this, so please just endure until nightfall."
I unzipped my pants, grabbed my fully erect cock, and while masturbating quickly, I forced my cock into the Saintess's mouth.
"Khu...!"
"Ugh! Ughhh!"
Ejaculation.
After ejaculating down the Saintess's throat, I approached Lea to do the same thing to her.
My 'white stuff' was a very potent aphrodisiac for women. A tied-up woman who has consumed this and has to endure until nightfall without anything being done to her?
It will be very difficult.
Well, less difficult than the Dark Elves undergoing guerrilla training, though.
"I'll kill you, you...!"
Enjoying the glare from Lea, who had swallowed my semen, I got dressed and headed back outside.
"Then, we will march to the guerrilla training grounds!"
