"This... no matter what you look at it, it's not proper food..."
Dino complained about the newly brought food they cooked as he lay on his newly created bed inside a small wooded hut while yawning.
"..."
"I feel ashamed as no one in our knightly order was good at cooking."
Jeff said with low spirited voice, while Artoria relished the raw meat given to them by their knights without caring about its taste.
"..."
Dino could not help but twitch his mouth on the gluttonous Artoria.
(No matter what universe it is, Artoria was still Artoria, huh...)
"Then what was the status of those pigs?"
"Haah! Those pigs gather their army to invade this Great Forest of Jura."
"Any abnormalities about them?"
"Yes, something suspicious about their behavior... like they become a zombie, no.. locust that would eat everything on their way."
"Orc Lord Unique Skill: Starved One, huh."
Dino said that, and having seen the event of Tensura was shocking to him; at the same time, the Knights and Artoria could not help but marvel at their master as he already knew the cause of the abnormality.
"Master, what was your order?"
"Hmmm, leave them; someone would take care of it... more importantly, I would like to eat something delicious."
Jeff and Artoria were lost at his words.
"Master, how about we cook those pigs and, at the same time, exterminate them? It was killing two birds with one stone."
Artoria said to Dino, still without emotion. If not for her eagerness to eat those pigs and the disturbing sentence she said, you won't be able to guess her feelings based on her expression.
"..."
"..."
"Jeff, go scout the surrounding area. If there was an intelligent but weak monster like a goblin, let them evacuate in this place."
"Yes, by your command."
Jeff left the wooden hut with great vigor while Artoria still ate the remaining food given to them by their knights.
"..."
...
...
Inside the castle of Puppet Nation, Jistav was a man drinking a glass of wine with the figure of a slim oblong head topped with pale lavender hair, a face with a sharp chin and defined jawlines, and a pair of pointed ears on either side and thin eyebrows.
"Clayman, it's bad news!!!"
The girl with short stature and who wore a mask that looked like a crying clown shouted at the man as she brought her hands up and down with a sense of urgency.
"What's the problem, Tear?"
Question by Clayman as he narrows his eyes on Tear.
"You see!? Some strong-looking knights appeared at the edge of the Great Forest of Jura and the Orcish Kingdom Orbic."
"And? Why are you not letting those pigs eat those guys?"
"Stupid Clayman! Did not I say Strong-looking knight!? If they are serious, they can eradicate those pigs within a minute."
"Hoh, then just ignore them; our goal would not change; maybe those knights came from spiteful Crownwell."
Clayman said as bulging vain could be seen in his angry face.
"Hmmm, but I have a feeling that it was not."
"No matter what, our goal of making the Orc lord a Demon Lord did not change. Making an enemy to an unknown enemy is not wise, Tear, and if they are that strong enough to massacre those pigs, it means that they come from the forces of other Demon Lords or Eastern Empire."
"Hmmm, well, you have a point, but when I tried to infiltrate their base, something like absolute force stopped me, like I'm circling their base!"
Tear complained to Clayman, and Clayman could not help but become surprised because of what Tear said to him.
"I see. Then ignore them. Let Gelmund know it."
"Okie Dokie Clayman"
Tear said as she disappeared while Clayman contemplated the forces surrounding those knights.
(No matter what, either you intervene with my work or just staying in that place won't change a thing)
Clayman looks at the moon that shines through his window.
...
...
(Hmmm, It looks like the rat already surrendered to infiltrate this place)
Dino thought he could sense someone with bad intentions or Blocklisted by him with the help of an Administrative Assistant not to enter his territory thanks to his Ultimate Skill: Indolense King.
"Master, with the disturbance those pigs brought, 400 goblins were forcefully left their home and came to seek our protection."
Jeff said as he brought those sorry-looking goblins in front of Dino.
"I see; good work."
"Ha, such a waste of word; becoming useful to Master was a matter of course."
(Hmmm, naming these guys would most likely benefit me. The more subordinate I have, the stronger I become after I name those Divine Knights and my recovery of Magicules greatly skyrocketed)
Dino looks at the goblin as they hurdle themselves together because of fear of provoking him, while the aura of a Demon Lords Haki intensifies their fear.
"If you want a name, just form a line; if you accept it, you will no longer belong to the weakest class of monsters, but only if you want to become my subordinate."
Dino said to them as the goblins could not help but shake their heads.
"No, no, no, Demon Lord-sama being subordinate to you was a lifetime opportunity; please grant us strength to protect ourselves."
A Female goblin that looked like their leader said to him while shaking.
"I see; I shall name you first! Your name would be Ririna."
(I feel like naming her like that, why is that?)
Dino was intensely looking at the Female goblin, feeling that this female goblin was a minor character in Tensura, then proceeded to name other goblins with a much more leisurely attitude.
...
"Master, there was an envoy lizardman in front of our base; what shall we do?"
Jeff said to his master Dino as Dino had already finished naming the goblins with a tired expression.
"I see; that idiot came, huh."
"Pardon, master?"
"Nothing; where is our visitor?"
"Lord Artoria was entertaining them in front of our base."
"..."
"..."
Golden light could be seen before the base as someone brought it down like judgment on the enemies.
---BOOOOOOOOMMM
[Notice by Administrative Assistant: Individual name Gabil was in great danger, please hurry up and rescue him \(>.<)/]
(Sh!t, Gabil, what have you done!!!!!!!!!)
