Chapter 228: 228 – 4 People.

The armor created a sword in his hand and looked at the Hydra.

The hydra stared at him as if it were seeing only a child.

The hydra looked at him for a while but seemed uninterested in starting a battle. The armor that noticed this undid its sword.

"It seems she doesn't want to fight. Maybe because she thinks I'm too weak? Whatever, let's leave her alone." The armor turned to leave while continuing to be watched by the hydra. 

The armor was a little worried, but fortunately, he was not attacked.

The hydra behind him disappeared below the water soon after.

"Looks like she doesn't like to fight." The armor smiled in his mind and moved on in search of more Slimes. But soon after walking for a few minutes, he found his brother again among the trees.

"What was that? I listened to a roar."

"It was the Hydra."

"The Hydra? You found it?" His brother exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, but she didn't want to fight, she let me go."

"Did she let you go? Is the hydra that strong?"

"Probably. Just her roar made my whole body shake. I'm thankful I don't have to fight that thing."

"I see..."

"But now let's stop talking about the Hydra, let's go monster hunting. Did you find anything?"

"I found only strange little monsters, but they were not the demons the master wants."

"Are you sure about that?"

"No."

"Then go after those monsters again, you idiot."

"Okay, okay..."

On the plains near Cinald.

One of the armors was walking across the plains while capturing Orcs and Ogres of multiple colors. 

"I thought it would be hard to do this alone, but it's pretty simple." He approached another group of 3 Orcs and put them in his group. And so he continued for the rest of his day.

When it began to get dark, the group of Orcs and Ogres behind the armor was so large that he could not calculate exactly how many he had captured.

Unfortunately, most of the Orcs and Ogres he had caught had a standard green color and were ordinary, but he had also found some Orcs and Ogres that could use some kind of magical element.

A good number of them were Orcs and Ogres with reddish skin who could cast fire magic. 

It was not very powerful magic or one that would be a problem for an experienced adventurer, but in the middle of a war, it would be very useful.

So were the Orcs and Ogres with black skin who could use a type of black magic and also poisoning.

Their magic was not powerful, but it was enough to blind someone for a few minutes. And their poison was powerful against humans, causing paralysis and multiple organ failure.

In other words, if a human was affected by this poison would only die in a few hours.

And besides these two races that deserve more attention, there are also other Orcs and Ogres using other elements.

Yellowish Orcs and Ogres using earth magic, others with bluish skin using water magic, and others with green and blue skin using wind magic.

"They will be very useful, now I understand why the master wanted me to take some of them."

At dawn, the armors began to return to the capital. But so far, only one group had returned.

The ones who had already returned were the two armors with a huge group of over 10,000 Goblins and Kobolds caught on the plain and in the forest that Ward had indicated.

"I told you they would be able to keep up with us."

"But not all of them made it, some of them died of exhaustion."

"Whatever. Most of them made it this far."

"Haaa~~"

After leaving the huge group parked near the capital, the two armors entered the city and went straight to the mansion. 

As soon as they entered, everything was dark and Ward and Luna were asleep. Since there was only one armor to protect them, they were both sleeping in the same room.

The two armors that arrived at the mansion approached Ward's room, which was where they were.

At the door was armor number 1.

As they approached, the armor looked at them.

"So, how did it go?" He asked nonchalantly as he looked at the hallway wall in front of him.

"We caught a lot of goblins and kobolds. We have gotten a group of over 10,000."

"That's right. They're on the plains just outside the capital, we left them all there."

"I see, good work. Get some rest as you guys will need to leave again tomorrow."

"Sure."

The two armors stepped out of close quarters and armor number 1 sighed and crossed his arms.

"I wish I had gone out in search of monsters too, standing guard is not an interesting job."

####

By dawn, the group of monsters next to the capital had more than doubled. In just one day the number of monsters captured had exceeded 20,000 monsters, it was something to celebrate.

Ward had finished his coffee and was now in the throne room with a big smile on his face after receiving the news.

"Isn't it wonderful? In just one day you guys have gathered 20,000 monsters. I am proud of you. I honestly didn't think it would be this simple."

The armors who heard the word "simple" looked at each other a little irritated.

It hadn't been something that simple. As much as magic was easy to be used, running after monsters was not something very fun.

"But it's not over yet, of course." Ward stood up from the throne and put his hands behind his back as he walked toward the armors.

"I want you guys to capture even more monsters for me in the next few days. I will only be satisfied when the number is greater than 100,000 monsters."

"But why so many monsters?" Luna at the side looked confused.

"The number of soldiers in Southlein is very high. If we don't have a gigantic number of monsters, we will surely be massacred in just a few hours."

"I understand."

"But now that you guys know that, you can leave again to get more monsters. This time goes back to the capital when you are sure it is enough."

Ward looked coldly at the armors. The 7 armors that received his gaze bowed their heads and soon after left the room.

"Haaa~~ Good thing I was right. I was worried that the places I signaled wouldn't have monsters."

"But didn't you study?"

"I studied, but those were old books. The world lives in constant change, doesn't it?"

"..."

####

A few more days passed and the number of monsters outside the capital had already exceeded 100,000. 

Ward inside his mansion was happily eating lunch together with Luna as he prepared to take the next step, which would be the start of the war.

"I can't wait to start that war," Ward said happily as he stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth.

Luna in front of him smiled.

"It's pretty close to starting, isn't it?"

"Yes. We have already cataloged the families of the soldiers and they have already started their training."

"Where are they training?"

"I've set up a camp outside the capital."

"But aren't the monsters outside? Won't the soldiers be scared off?"

"I made the armors explain it to them, but of course there are some people who got scared. Fortunately, most of them decided to trust the armors and continued in the camp."

"So some of them abandoned the army..."

"Yes, unfortunately. But whatever. I withdrew family support from those people and let them leave."

"Got it. But there's something else I'm worried about."

"What is it?"

"You are no longer bringing that armor along with us. Isn't that dangerous?"

"Oh, don't worry about that. I've decided to give the soldiers a financial incentive, so they won't attack me. And if they do attack me, I'll kill them easily."

"Have you recovered your magic?"

"A little. I wouldn't be able to fight someone very powerful, but I can handle a bunch of beastmens soldiers."

"Got it."

Ward and Luna continued eating under the stares of the maids and soon after left the dining room.

They walked to the meeting room and entered.

"Looks like you guys are already here," Ward said to the four people who were already seated at the table.

They were two beautiful women who had droopy dog ears just above their heads and two older men also with dog ears above their heads.

"Everything is ready now. Everything is working very well." One of the dog-eared women said and the girl next to her nodded.

These as the two girls who were responsible for sending the financial support to the soldiers' families. It was also the two who were commanding all the people who were getting the information from the soldiers earlier.

"About the war, the army's food supply is a little low." One of the men with dog ears grumbled.

These two men with dog ears were responsible for taking care of the army. Be it about the camping, the feeding. They took care of everything.

"All right, let's take it easy. First of all, tell me how the cataloging of the soldiers' families is going, and if we have enough money to maintain the family support for at least two months. After that, let's talk about supply."

Ward sat down at the table with the four of them and Luna continued to stand behind his chair.
