233 Army training②




 The first group I could create.

 Rats, Wolves, Bats, Giant Bats, Goblins, Kobolds, Orcs, Ghouls, Lycanthrope, Dark Elves, Werewolves, Werewolves, Living Mails, Lilim and Dhampirs.

 In terms of strength - rats, wolves, bats, and lycanthropes are tough, and ghouls are also tough to operate given the collective action.

 Next, the subordinates secured by domination, surrender, etc--.

 All kinds of demons, all kinds of fairies, all kinds of demons - and humans.

 The dwarves, elves, and slimes were few in absolute numbers, making them difficult to operate. The beast species had a lot of brainy demon kings, so they had a dearth of subordinates to battle power. There were many demon kings who chose demon species, fairy species and demon species as their evolutionary destination, and since they tended to raise their creation moderately, it would be possible to procure them locally in the future.

 

 The high pixies under my command will be my subordinates, and I'll make them Lina's second in command. Since Blue is also there, this means that Lina's unit can now handle fairy species. With Lina's personality, she would take care of her subordinates. I can't create a fairy species other than goblins but can I manage it?

 Lina troops--a fairy species.

 Since Takahar is so belligerent would it be better to gather a high-mobility squad? They're going to do a lot of damage. Let's bring in the werewolves.

 Tacahar Squad - Werewolves.

 They're currently the strongest in our army. Should I take the Dhampir for bifocals in the hopes that they'll be more resourceful? I'll also be attached to humans who are willing to fight, and I'll be assigned to them as well.

 The Kotez unit -- dhampir, humanity.

 Sarah's troops will be mainly logistical support. The damage will be less than that of the troops fighting on the front lines, so shall I assign a demon species that is not able to be replenished?

 Sarah--a demon race.

 Hibiki has a vital role to play in attracting the enemy to the front lines. It's probably set in stone to have the Living Mail under their control, but they'll be covered with Iron. This is where it would be interesting to make a bold move and make orcs and giant bats. Orcs are relatively durable, and giant bats are great for disrupting the enemy. Also, both races can be created, so they're easy to replenish, which is a high point.

 Hibiki -- Orcs and Giant Bats.

 After that, there's the Chloe troop leading the dark elves, the Leila troop leading the Dhampir, the Flora troop leading the Lilim, the Iron troop leading the Living Mail, and the Red troop leading the demon species.

 I look at the troop list written down on a piece of paper....

 That's not bad.

 The troop formation has been decided upon.

 In order to announce the formation of the troops, I called the executives together.


 ◆


So, from now on, the officers here will lead a thousand men under their command.

 I explained the troop formation I had just devised to the assembled officers.

"Sion-sama may I have one thing?

 After I finished explaining, Kotetsu approached me.

'What?'
My people are humans... but how will you select them?
Basically, it's a volunteer system.
Can we get together?
I don't know.

 You could force them to be drafted, but unlike their created subordinates, humanity has the troublesome emotion of free will. A goblin would do a much better job of forcing those who don't want to fight to the battlefield than those who are unwilling to fight.

Do you think it would be tough to volunteer even if I explained that to you heavily? Well..... Humanity, now that they have become the fiefdoms of Emperor Astor, are beginning to get used to the safety of their current lives.
It's a fight to keep that safe, isn't it?
........Hmm. May I discuss this with Tamura-sensei?
That's fine. But if there's a situation where you don't have any volunteers, report it to me. We'll reconsider our troop formation. And--and reconsider the standard of living in the Astor Empire of humanity.

 Don't work and don't eat. In order to get something you have to give something away. The second half came off as a threat, but it's my own untrue and honest opinion.

'I'm awed,'

 After my words, Kotetsu bowed deeply.

''Sion, can I start with you?''

 Once Kotetsu's question was cleared up, Takaharu approached him next.

'What?'
What's this lieutenant thing called? I'll have a werewolf consort as my second in command, right?
You will.
Then you'll pass the order on to your lieutenant, won't you?
Yeah.
Do you mind if I pick that second-in-command?
Hmm? Do you know someone in Werewolf?
He's not here! But it's like a feel-good factor. In the meantime, as long as you can find a few random candidates, that's fine.
Ah! Ah, sir! Ah, sir! My second-in-command will be decided by me!

 Sarah takes advantage of Takahar's suggestion.

'All right. I'll check it out for you later. I'll mend things up for you as well as Takahar and others besides Sarah, so you can decide on your own deputy. Once you've decided, bring them to me.

 I didn't feel any particular demerit, so I decided to swallow Takaharu's suggestion.

''Master, may I begin?''

 Once Takaharu's suggestion was resolved, Hibiki approached him next.

'What?'
'My men are mainly orcs and giant bats, is that correct?
Yeah. Are you unhappy?
''No......... Orcs..........I mean pigs! Can I take it that the master still recognizes me as 'you filthy pig'!

 Hibiki's face is flushed and excited as she begins to make her mysterious claims.

'Does anyone else have any questions?'

 I ignore Hibiki's claim and look over at the other executives' faces.

''--! The filthy piggy bastard's voice can't reach me.......! Thanks for playing--

 --Hibiki, shut up!

 I had forced the pervert's (Hibiki) mouth shut.
