Three in the morning. We ran in the forest still shrouded in darkness.
There are a few members because I put an emphasis on mobility; I sat on Kumajirou at the lead with only 36 people riding ≪Familiars≫. The others are waiting in the cave.
The reason for moving now is simple, the scout that came from my body discovered the human army’s garrison, for the sake of commencing a surprise attack.
The scale of the force we were attacking was about 800 people; their numbers were much too different from us. With the included, I had 73. If we were to attack normally, the result would be our death.
Even for me, attacking an enemy who not only is large in numbers but whose combat abilities I do not completely understand is just too rash.
However, at night the situation belonged to us.
If I continue summoning Black Skeletons and Zombies we’re unlikely to lose because of their physical superiority. But since it wouldn’t help the situation if I exhausted my magic creating undead, I’m absorbing the magic accumulated in the darkness so I won’t run out.
If it became dangerous we could escape immediately. Our mobility will be assured since it would be difficult for humans, who don’t have night vision like we do, to chase us.
Therefore, we commenced the surprise attack; we didn’t even need to run. It took around an hour to completely wipe them out.
The operation went smoothly,
Approaching secretly.
→We had detected the lookouts from within the semi-transparent barrier around us.
→We had scattered about in order to encircle their surroundings.
→After confirming everyone was at their assigned placement, right after I destroyed the semi-transparent barrier with a javelin made from my Demise magic, Asue-chan surrounded them with a four meter high mud wall.
→Signaling them, the magic of Dhammi-chan, Supesei-san, and the tops of the mage corps that the two were leading created explosions all over the enemy lines. In an instant, several hundred units of the humans were dead.
→While I was generating approximately 10 undead every single second, I had changed my left arm into a ballista and was firing spears created by my Demise magic
→After brutally killing small-fry in ten seconds a silver female knight accompanied by a white clergyman, a crimson swordswoman and a jet black magician, plus some others, conspicuously exited the large tent in the center, clearing a portion of the zombies and plain skeletons.
→That group’s concentrated attack kept the Black Skeletons at bay.
→During the time the surroundings were being annihilated, the women were taken prisoner. Though this wouldn’t apply to them if they were ugly.
→I rode on Kumajirou with my halberd to the remaining elite forces. I was being accompanied by Kurosaburo, as well as the heavily armed Ogakichi-kun who was followed by a Hindbear and Supesei-san who sat atop one while chanting. Also following me was: Dhammi-chan wielding [Drop of Moonlight], her claymore of ice, in one hand while spreading [Eyes of Bewitchment], Asue-chan smiling with her gigantic War Pick, and Burasato-san who changed into a red knight , simultaneously releasing 30 blood swords into the surroundings.
→An unrivalled stampede; a perfect subjugation.
→The fight has ended.
Even if I look back, it’s just another cruel battle. No, this might have been a one-sided humiliation.
Well, I’ll put that aside.
The undead shouldered all of the injuries; that is why we went without casualties. It looks like those women, besides for the exceptional ones, will be forced to die. I think it’s likely that after the surprise defeat most of them will be gone. But just in case, I’ll let the black skeletons scatter throughout the surroundings.
They have until sunlight before they are purified, but even if they vanish, since they are merely an insurance for now, there won’t be problems.
The gains gained from this surprise attack are prisoners that will become necessary breeding persons; in addition there is a large amount of army provisions. I got a lot of things, especially women and magical items.
Moreover, since a decrease in the degree of freshness decreases the chance of securing an ability, I selected the superior specimens and ate them then and there.

This is gre~at.
I’m so glad I did this.
Afterwards, the captives, who were put to sleep with toxins, and the loot were taken home. Stimulants similar to the ones the former elfs were administered were brought into the prison.
However, as expected, the human males we had applied stimulants to were not as attractive as elf males. The plan is to have the men labour as slaves and information sources.
Since men are different than women, they will be put in slave collars immediately.
My compassion is to “not kill them”. Should I have them work until they die?
Note: this is a rhetorical question btw
Well, I wonder how many days the women can endure despite the pleasure. A report by Father Elf-san detailed our gains from this battle.
I was very surprised about the hourly report just before noon; if this inspection really is the case, then five barrels of Elven wine will be brought here directly by an escort and will arrive at approximately 3pm.
“I see, cheers.”
After a light alcohol gathering, Father elf-san had gone home.
Well then, how are the prisoners? I think I’ll go and see; my patience is at it’s limits. I only reacted to the courageously fighting Female Knight-san that I had come into contact with; her haughty manner was amazing.
Huh? a great nobleman's daughter? hee~, hmm. That's not a big deal for me right now.
After all, I’m not human, I’m an Ogre now.
The circumstances of a human are irrelevant to monsters. But, I’ll allow it for now.
Afterwards, I loaned the male prisoners to Goblin and Kobold females who requested them because the men’s reactions were amusing.
But Female Knight-san and the others’ first partner naturally has to be me...
