Chapter 390 Skirmish Beyond Border
"Impressive, keep up the good work." Ryker complimented his Demon Monsters.
Currently, he had changed something regarding the working of the Lair. Namely, he allowed his monsters to battle one another.
Those from Fiend Race that is, and only the weaker ones. Those truly powerful like Ogres and Trolls does not need to prove their spot, but regular Demon Goblins and Demon Orcs need it in order to evolve.
Yes, he force them to battle in order to make them stronger, or at least the survivors stronger. Only those that manage to do so would be allow to live in the system space.
Those that did not, will either die or if they manage to stay alive will be thrown out to Lunis Forest in order to make more Demon Goblins or for them to survive in the less challenging arena and thrive there.
Maybe they will become stronger, who knew. But now, he is satisfied with the progress his Demon Monsters are making. From the way pace of their growth, he might be able to get all of his Demon Goblins to become Demon Goblin Elites, a high B-rank monsters, or even Demon Goblin Veteran, an A-rank monster slightly weaker than Demon Goblin King.
As for his Demon Orcs, they could either go for the large hulking form in the Hulking Orc Lineage, where they could stop at Demon Hulking Orc, or Demon Giant Orc. Or, if they did not grow large bulk, they would become Demon Orc Warrior, and later on, Demon Orc Veteran, high B-rank and A-rank monsters respectively.
Either way, the best way for the Demon Fiend Race to grow is through intense competition. It help that their gestation period as well as growth period are fast.
As for why his Demon Kobold and Demon Lizardman did not receive the same treatment, it's due to the fact that it would not be as effective, as while they do compete with one another, both Demon Kobold and Demon Lizardman's community is more sustainable with less competition, as it would allow them to become stronger through mock training more.
Though, he did get them to become stronger by having them fight against some of the more rowdy monsters in little extermination and subduing, or he would pick several Demon Goblins and have them fight it off, in similar size group of course.
It is a training, not a massacre.
"At this rate, by the end of the year, most of my monsters would be high B-rank, and with 400 000 such monsters in my ranks, I can easily demolish any Tier 2 Nations." he said to himself.
For now, he planned to receive some much needed update from his Astor Kingdom Assault Horde, and have the remaining 4 Hordes to converge and attack the Kingdom quickly.

"The monsters decided to go for skirmish, General." one of his subordinates reported.
General Lanki nodded, as he stare at the distance. He could see a small company of cavalry engaging with the monsters very own cavalry, with the opposite forces Goblin Wolf Rider behaving greater number.
Yet, the better equipment plus training of his cavalry allow his soldiers to score the win, sending them of fleeing in terror.
"How many time that is?" he asked.
"7th time. Today." his subordinates stretched out today, looking haggard. Lanki could not blame him. From the constant attack, it would be hard for his subordinates to get the rest they need and deserve, especially with how they need to report it to him.
"As long as it's not a skirmish. There is no need to report anything about it. Except if there is something strange, the monsters changing strategy. In that case, report it." hoping it would be enough to not overwork his subordinates, General Lanki decided to be more lax.
After all, he doubt the skirmish will not stop, not until the remaining hordes arrive and strengthen the monster forces. If that happen, he will need to order a retreat, no matter how much he dislike it.
"I wonder what the monster, no, the demon is planning. It should have plans to destroy the Kingdom."
-x-
"So, how goes the plan, Gobruk?" Alros asked, looking at his oldest Goblin, well, the one that manage to survive that is and had become a Demon Goblin King.
The monster growled in Goblinese, before showing him the map of Astor Kingdom on a table. There, several figurines were placed on top. It did not take him long to realize it represent the different Armies and Hordes.
The Demon Goblin King moved a piece, one representing one of the human army, to their current position, where a figurine of a Horde where.
"I see. This table is for the movement of the war." Gobruk nodded before he showed pulled a compartment, one that is devoid of anything, though not for long.
Soon, another map, one that depict their current location, were placed on it, where several figurines, this time representing different battle groups, are put on it.
"I see. So there is the cavalry, then there is the infantry, then that's the enemies." Alros state the obvious, watching as Gobruk made his plan.
The longer he watched it, the more glad he decided to invest on the little Goblin, watching it bloomed into a capable Demon Goblin King.
"From the look of things, you don't need my input. Then carry on as usual. Unless if you need my strength. Only then, you can call me." Alros told him before flying away.
While his monsters would lead his force in destroying Astor Kingdom, he would focus more on the growth of his forces in the system space, and maybe have some more progress in the creation of his expendable Hybrid Armies, and the rest of his project.
For now though, he would have some fun of his own, especially when he saw the outfit Delia currently wore.
"You look ravishing, my dear mage." the redhead blushed, trying to cover her body that is not so covered by her very skimpy slingshot swimsuit, with a cut on her crotch.
As the mage stuttered, Alros put her on his shoulder and carried her like a sack of potato. While he did not mind anyone watching, he plan on fucking her on the bed this time. To pay his tribute to the Demon God of Lust.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
