SWNOVELXO Chapter 349: Before The War
When Alros woke up, it was to the sight of his sleeping alchemist, the twin-tailed Witch sleeping naked next to him. He could see the countless marks he gave her, causing a smile to bloom on his face.
As he stare at the sleeping alchemist, he heard Laili's voice,
[ Master, I just get a message from the Demon God of Lust. I will play it right now, if you are free. ]
While he wanted to keep staring at Mina, he knew he could not hold to listening to a message by his patron god.
"Let me hear the message," he ordered.
Before long, he could hear the voice of the Demon God of Lust.
[ Hello, my little demon, I am glad for the offering. But, don't think I will give you the same leeway. In the future, I want you to have a full orgy. For the people that participate, I don't care. ]
Ryker nodded, taking note of it. 'If that is what you want, I will give you one that lasted a month. It might be horrible idea, but it is much better than being cursed or something by a Demon God,'
[ Also, ] oh, it seem the message is not finished just yet,
[ I decided to give you something else. Check the new tab. ]
He did just that. Immediately, he could see the War Tab. Touching it, his eyes widen in shock,
< When a war was launched by the master of the system, they could use the feature in this tab, with some prices.
< Affiliate Soldiers - Any soldiers, whether they are monsters or human, can be considered as soldiers of the master, while not being included in the system population.
This will allow any kills from the affiliated soldiers to be counted similar to kills done by monsters considered as part of the system. It also mean any soldiers killed will not have their SP counted.
Cost - 1 000 000 SP >
Alros smiled at such thing. While the cost may be expensive, in the long term, it is worth it. After all, the population of Astor Kingdom far surpassed the cost in term of SP, not to mention, there is the fact soldiers worth more than regular people.
He had been prepared to suffer a heartache in the form of losing SP, but clearly he was blessed by the Demon God of Lust.
"Thank you, my goddess," he said, praying at the shrine. In his head, he already planned several orgies, with the biggest one being done after the destruction of Astor Kingdom.
He first go to the War Tab, before picking the option of starting a war,
< Are you sure of starting a war against the Astor Kingdom?
Reminder: If you lose the war, you will suffer severe penalties depending on how severe the loses are.
Yes / No >
With no hesitation, he chose yes. After all, he did not intend to lose.

Alros looked at the gathered forces. At the moment, he already picked the entire monster population of Lunos Forest. He will use them for his war against the Astor Kingdom.
However, it will leave the Lunos Forest vulnerable. To make up for the lack of monsters' population, Alros leave some of his monsters, about 100 000, inside the Lunos Forest. Find your next read on empire
While it is a smaller number compared to what he took, since his monsters are all at least at C-ranks, the numbers are more than enough.
For now, he need launch his first assault. He already gain the needed intels to make a framework the invasion.
His target is the border region between Lunos Forest and Astor Kingdom's territory. However, he will have to face a great number of soldiers, as an entire army was placed there due to his past action.
However, he did not regret it, as if he did not done so, his speed of improvement will drop.
Still, he is surprised by how he no longer fear against an entire army. Then again, it might be because of his lack of understanding regarding how powerful an entire army is.
But, he is confident that the rag-tag forces he assembled as cannon fodder and expendable could do the trick in defeating the soldiers of Astor Kingdom.
He take another look before his eyes landed on Gobruk. The Demon Goblin had ascended to the peak of A-rank, becoming a Demon Goblin King in the 2 years of preparation.
< Demon Goblin King - A Demon Goblin that has been chosen as the ruler of a large group its kind. The strongest of Demon Goblins, it could wield magic and even beat more powerful monsters.

Skill - Demon Aura, Demon Power, Goblin Ruler >
Gobruk had become slightly taller, about half an inch or so, but the aura he exude surpassed the other Demon Goblins by miles.
He could not be happier for his first named monster as he know stood at the top, aside from the S-rank that is.
'I will become one first, then I see if I can help you become one,' he thought, and not just Gobruk, his other named monsters will become S-rank is he could help them achieve such stage.
For now, he need Gobruk to lead his contingent of Goblins to the border. After giving his order, Alros visited the other contingent. By the time he finished his visit, the army of 200 000 Goblins, 60 000 Kobolds, 20 000 Orcs and 20 000 Lizardmen marched to the front.
While the entire monsters population, one prepared by him for this exact moment, would march to war, only a fifth of them will attack first.
It is to lower the guard of his opponent while at the same time allow him to maneuver the rest to the necessary location.
He flew up, to see his armies marching towards the first obstacle, a small outpost, one that is linked to the major fortress near the border. One named after the General who commands it. Fort Soren.
A wicked smile formed on his face as his gaze landed on the outpost his monsters marching towards.
"Let my monsters claim the first blood of the war!"
