Chapter 474: Chapter 253: Lina, I appoint you as the commander of 100,000 demon soldiers
The Magical Girl looked at the Dragon Race Maiden with a complicated expression, not knowing how to answer.
She couldn’t exactly say she had an uncontrollable habit of picking flowers.
Fortunately, Shami broke the tension at the crucial moment, bringing everyone back to the topic.
"Alright, actually I’ve prepared a special space for you all."
Shami led the four along a pebble path to a tower close to the Demon King Castle wall. Above the tower was a spacious platform.
"This is a sunbathing platform specifically prepared for Elze of the Dragon Race, so if Elze wants to change into dragon form and sunbathe in the future, she can come here. From now on, bathing in dragon form can be done here too."
"You’re thinking way ahead."
The Dragon Race Maiden was a bit embarrassed, her tail gently swaying.
She hadn’t fully mastered the tail at her rear, yet Shami was thinking about such distant matters.
The Magical Girl’s eyes flashed with a hint of envy.
"Of course, as the most important Mage among the demons, Saili’s space is even more significant!"
Shami led the four out of the Demon King Castle, and looking ahead, there was a small wooden house not far away.
Shami used the Teleportation Gate, the five bypassing the distance, directly arriving two kilometers away in front of a quaint little wooden house.
"This is the Magic Laboratory specially prepared for Saili, where Saili can conduct any magic experiments she wants."
"Why is my Magic Small Secret Chamber in such a remote place? It’s outside the Demon King Castle!"
The Magical Girl looked incredulously at the little wooden house before her.
"Because it might explode, who knows what magic Saili knows. Naturally, the most dangerous Magic Laboratory must be placed outside the Demon King Castle, otherwise, what if the entire Demon King Castle accidentally gets nuked? If Saili were one of those unlearned Mages, I’d be more at ease in this regard."
"This counts as a indirect acknowledgement of my prowess, right."
The Magical Girl frowned, her pent-up resentment slowly dissipating after hearing Shami’s words, though it hadn’t vanished.
The Demon King is so afraid of Magical Girls, right? Next time tie him to a chair with ropes and conduct experiments on him.
After wandering around for a bit, everyone was tired.
Back inside the Demon King Castle, Shami transformed into a chef to reward the four Demon Envoy girls.
Since the following two days were the weekend, the four girls decided they’d return to Saint Karno City on Sunday night, planning to decorate their rooms well over these two days.
Under Shami’s orders, the four girls ventured out of the Demon King Castle in the next two days, exploring various parts of the Demon Realm to get familiar with the terrain.
As Demon Envoys, how could they not be familiar with the Demon Realm?
——
Within the Demon King Castle, Shami no longer needed to train his body during the night.
He rescheduled the physical training to daytime.
On the second day, Saturday.
After running 10 kilometers in the Demon Realm to complete his training, Shami returned to the Demon King Castle, arriving at the Wisteria Tree Spirit beside the castle, taking out a bottle of Water of Life from the Demon King Ring and pouring it for irrigation.
Simultaneously, he used the Wisteria Tree’s communication network within the Tree Spirit race to gather information about the surroundings.
[Shami... don’t go to the eastern part of the Esper Kingdom lately, ahem...]
"What’s going on there?"
Shami asked curiously.
[There was a siege battle that erupted... combat is fierce... casualties are severe, cough cough...]
Upon hearing this, Shami showed a concerned expression.
"Oh no, how could I forget the goblins are still sieging during celebratory times!"
Shami quickly cleaned himself, used the Teleportation Gate, and teleported near Ueldo City.
The goblin Buwana’s military camp looked more dismal than the last time Shami saw it, surrounded by signs of battle damage, with patrolling soldiers looking worn out.
In the center of the camp, within the Command Tent, a goblin wearing armor sat in the main seat, with two rows of human males in general’s attire before him, their expressions grim, the tent’s atmosphere was extremely dismal.
"General Buwana, we’ve been attacking Ueldo City for half a month now, and the grain and supplies the camp had prepared are almost used up, enough to last only two more days."
"The casualties in the army have also exceeded our expectations, and now more than two-thirds of the nearly ten thousand troops from various villages willing to revolt against Ueldo City are injured."
"According to the scout’s report, Ueldo City welcomed two more mercenary companies yesterday, and the extraordinary offspring of nobles within the city have also hurried back. Our soldiers’ morale is sinking."
The tent was filled with bad news.
Buwana fell into contemplation.
The siege battle was mired in a swamp and becoming ever more unfavorable for them.
If it were simply a confrontation between Ueldo City and the surrounding small villages, his led rebel army would have long occupied Ueldo City.
But this is an extraordinary world.
Ueldo City, after continuously sending requests for help, gradually turned the tide with mercenary companies rushed here in response to the commissions.
These mercenary companies, though composed of swordsmen not exceeding level 15, or second-rate warriors, still held an insurmountable gap from ordinary humans.
"Damn it, it’s those extraordinary beings we villagers fed with grain, and now they want to annihilate us."
Complaints gradually arose within the tent.
Buwana swiftly curbed the atmosphere that could severely affect the warriors’ fighting spirit.
However, being an unskilled goblin who taught himself a bit, and with Shami’s Hammer Sword, Buwana could singlehandedly hold off half a mercenary company. But now there were seven, eight mercenary companies in Ueldo City, ready to strike.
