Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

The Lizardmen army, which reached close range, suffered greater damage than before and the front row literally disappeared. However, unlike before, the back row ran and jumped into the pit without hesitation.

“Kill a human!”

He stabbed the wall with his sharp claws and climbed the barrier.

###

“Paddle!”

When Kuirau’s troops were hit by a second volley.

Coamic moved across the river in the rear of the Imperial army.

Coamic loaded the soldiers on rafts he had built overnight and sent them to the rear of the Imperials. The river was only a few hundred meters wide and the current was calm, so it was easy to cross.

“Enemies!”

“The lizard is coming!”

bang! Valid!

When the Imperials saw the raft through the fog, they immediately opened fire.

Unlike the front, he did not wait for the enemy to come within close range.

It blocked the approach by firing a check shot that reached the range.

“Don’t get too close!”

Seeing that, the commander-in-chief exclaimed.

The movement of the raft was sluggish and almost stopped.

“Stay out of range! Don’t avoid unnecessary damage!”

As instructed, the raft snooped out of the matchlock’s range.

As if he was about to cross the river, he grabbed the attention of the imperial army.

Gunshots and gunfire continued from the front, but from the rear, light checks continued intermittently like a fight.

“good night. Keep the status quo.”

Koamik looked at it with satisfaction.

“Wait for the humans and Kuirau to get tired. Now that the two are up and running, there is no need for us to jump in like moths. When one side is at a disadvantage, aim for that time and cross the river.”

Coamic was caught by the Empire’s rearguard in the kingdom’s rear.

However, the more it did, the more it had to preserve its full power.

Even if you capture the human emperor, you can resist.

In this case, it had to be rotated again.

“Are you okay? Kuirau-sama seems to be in a lot of trouble…”

Koamic snorted at the words of Maninjang.

“The monkeys withdrew a large number of troops to the rear to block the river crossing. look How many thousands is not enough? That was enough for us to do our part. If you lose even after doing this, Kuirau is incompetent.”

I’d rather be grateful if you did.

Koamik laughed, hiding his feelings.

“Make sure the number of monkeys on the lookout is decreasing. It is said that the front line is just as dangerous if the number of them is drastically reduced. That is the time to cross the river.”

“All right.”

However, there was a fact that Comics didn’t know.

That the soldiers deployed by the Imperial Army to the rear to prevent crossing were imaginary. They only pretended to be in check by deploying very few musketeers and archers. It was Edar, not Koamic, who cheated.

Coamic laughed, not realizing he had fallen for his trick.

And in the meantime, the war situation faced a drastic change.

“It is now. Blow the trumpet! Send a signal to His Majesty!”

Gehard’s lieutenant Titus, who was watching the battle from the front of the Imperial army, raised his hand.

wealth—

While Cuilau’s army was charging without even a reserve, less than one hundred SS remained in Cuilau’s rear.

The sound of the trumpet signaled this situation.

hard-

“what are you talking about!”

Seeing the tense battle, Kuirau let out an angry scream.

Can’t you hear the rough sound of horses hooves from behind?

The cavalry was wiped out, what are you talking about?

I turned around and took a deep breath and inhaled.

“Which break?”

More than a hundred cavalrymen were running.

They were the imperial army, and all were members of the family.

Except for one, Edar at their head.

“This… not so good trick!”

Surprise wasn’t just thinking about the two incarnations.

Edar also took advantage of the dawn to send out about 100 of his followers.

Calliope, Gehard, Jekt, and other strong men among the expeditionary force were picked up and headed to his rear without Cuilau noticing.

“Courage sometimes has the same meaning as ignorance.”

Cuilau’s army charged gallantly, but that was all.

Isn’t what remains after rushing forward the most important thing to protect?

“You bastard monkey!”

Seeing the cavalry charge towards me, Kuirau raised the magic of his soul. Then, a haze shone around Kuirau, and a haze rose from the Lizardmen’s army.

The haze was the soul.

“Huh!”

“Su, breath…!”

“Quirausi!”

Kuirau must be trying to temporarily increase his strength by absorbing the souls of those who serve him.

Just as the Archbishop of the Religion consumed thousands of souls to increase his power, Kui-Rau consumed tens of thousands of souls to increase his strength.

【Lv. 93]

Same level as Calliope.

【Lv. 78]

【Lv. 69]

【Lv. 74]

【Lv. 79]

【Lv. 82]

The level of the guards nearby rose rapidly.

There was no change in Edar’s expression when he saw this.

Because it was as he expected.

“…”

But there was something he didn’t expect.

The little child in his arms had twinkling eyes.

Mercephone’s eyes grew brighter as she got closer to Kuirau, and the magical energy of her soul rose like a haze around her, just like Kuirau.

###

The 133 followers rode the horses with lances stuck in their armpits.

The opponents they are aiming for are the bodyguards of Kuirau. The number of the guards was less than half of the members of the family, and because they were among the hippos, they could not respond to the charge of the members of the family and lost their players intact.

———!

There was a loud crash as the cavalry and infantry collided. The sounds of lances piercing armor, bodies flying, and horses collapsing arose simultaneously.

“Die in the name of Your Majesty! Lizard!”

“Cattle that doesn’t even know the subject!”

A melee ensued. The family and the royal guards were entangled.

It was different from the result of the lance charge that the family had seen so far.

It had to be. Didn’t you charge right after physically and mentally shocking the enemy before?

The charge of the family was like the end of the battle. The enemy I bumped into ran straight away, so I took victory easily. but now? The enemies my family now faces are of a different class than the ones I have had so far.

“Is it just this much!”

Awesome!

The Lizardman swung his curved sword while avoiding the spear.

The member who fired the spear was cut diagonally from the left shoulder while still wearing armor. A serious injury that would kill a normal person. However, the family leaned to the side as if they were going to fall off the horse, and grabbed Ben Lizardman.

“What—”

The Lizardman, who was convinced that his family was dead and was dealing with other members of the family, was taken aback.

Fu-wook!

Taking advantage of that gap, another member of the family threw out a spear.

Lizardman could not avoid the spear and his chest was pierced.

Seeing this, the guards were disgusted.

“Serious bastards…!”

The power of both sides, the family and the guards, was equal to each other.

Even though the family took the lead with numerical superiority, they were unable to break through the guards, and the guards received the protection of Kuirau and gained stronger power than the guards, but only prevented the guards from breaking through.

The cost of engagement on both sides was the same.

For every bodyguard killed, one member of the household also died.

“dare!”

Bondi, when such a skirmish occurred, Calliope solved it.

She punched a hole in the wire as she overpowered the enemy with her inaction.

But at this moment, even she had no choice.

Kwakwang!

Kuirau lowered his mace.

A large mace with a tip several times the length of a human head shattered the ground, blowing away dust and stones. Calliope narrowly avoided Cuilau’s attack, which was as fast as the blade she wielded.

“…”

No matter how hard she was, she couldn’t overwhelm her opponent.

Because the opponent was Kuirau, the incarnation of Lizardmen, the incarnation that took 30,000 souls. An opponent comparable to her in terms of level and combat experience.

She countered whenever there was a gap, blocking attacks and repeating shedding. The counterattack inflicted minor wounds, angering Kuirau.

“Go away!”

This was to prevent the incarnation from targeting other members of the family, but it was also one of the few countermeasures that she could do as she could not inflict effective damage such as fatal wounds.

‘It’s not easy after all.’

I watched the melee from a little distance.

There was no anxiety. The one who wins the fight is the family.

‘Kwonsok is not tired. Meanwhile, Kuirau and the SS are getting weaker and weaker. The power raised from the souls of others does not last long.’

The problem was the scale of the damage.

If you drag out time, you win, but a situation where you can’t turn off time.

Because the other person is not easy enough to take time.

We had to fight head-to-head and win.

‘It would have been nice if the expectations were a little different.’

I muttered to myself with regret.

I wanted Kuirau’s level to be a little lower.

Didn’t you lose a number of high-ranking warriors, including the warrior chief?

He expected a little that if he over-distributed his strength to the guards, Kuirau’s level could go down by one level. There is a possibility that it is weaker than expected.

But the expectations were not wrong.

‘God is really difficult to deal with.’

This was the reason why it was difficult to deal with the heterogeneous race.

Each member of the race is strong, but the existence of a god is more irrational than that. Even if morale is destroyed, it is restored with one shout, and the level gap is narrowed with blessings. It’s no different than doping.

“Give us more, more power!”

A fierce haze rose around Kuirau. As the magic power increased, it distorted the surroundings, and sparks flew in the air crackling, and the ground on which it stood cracked open.

I saw a vortex spinning around him.

Keee

A whirlpool made of the Lizardman’s soul.

Only beings who can see the vortex are made of souls, and to those who are sensitive to magical powers, it will look like haze.

‘You’re too greedy. Kuirau.’

I clicked my tongue.

Kuirau requested too much magic.

It’s hard not to know when you see that fierce whirlpool.

By now, countless Lizardmen who had run to the front would be rolling on the floor. He must have lost his life trying to follow the demands of the god he believed in, pushing his magic power beyond his limit.

The body died and the wandering soul became one with the whirlpool. As the number of souls increased, Kuirau’s magical power grew thicker.

“Uhhhhh!”

There is no end to greed once it is launched.

Some of the SS members grabbed their chests and collapsed.

Even lizards that have not collapsed have their scales turned white and lose their energy. Withdraw the protection that Kuirau had bestowed upon them, and even take the magical power that dwells in their souls.

From noble mtl dot com

“More, more!”

Cuilau had an intuition of his limits.

You thought it couldn’t go on like this.

He must have realized that if he didn’t eat his royal guard and grow himself, he would only slowly wither and die.

Wooddeuk…

The guy’s appearance changed due to the overflowing magical power.

Just as the priests of the Church were mutated under the protection of Horvid, Kuirau’s scales turned black and his kidneys swelled up.

Originally, he had a physique that could be twice as big as mine, but look at it.

Now, the word giant is not enough.

【Lv. 95]

It wasn’t just the appearance that changed.

The level has surpassed that of Calliope.

“You ratty little b*tch!”

Kuirau slammed his foot down.

Calliope, who was below him, rolled to the side and dodged it.

My foot dug into the ground and a strong earthquake occurred.

“Get lost!”

The body is so huge, how can it be so agile?

The frequency with which Calliope dodges its attacks has decreased.

The frequency of shedding or receiving attacks increased, and the damage, such as her armor being warped or ripped off, increased noticeably.

thud!

Calliope took a step back, then kicked off the ground and flew backwards.

Gerhard, Jekt, and the guards came to her side.

“Are you okay?”

“…”

Jureuk-

She was silent, but she didn’t need an answer.

A lot of blood flowed from the torn forehead.

“It doesn’t seem all right.”

He smiled, smiled and raised his hand.

According to the instructions, the followers joined one after another.

Kuirau sucked even the magic of the guards.

In return, the SS collapsed, so the tense battle ended with the overwhelming power of the people. One hundred remnants of his retinue besieged Cuilau.

“The worms…”

Kuirau bared his teeth and scanned all directions with bloodshot eyes.

“Do you think you can beat me just by gathering a few bugs!”

The boy let out a fury and swung his arm around his foot.

The two subordinates in front were torn apart without even having time to escape.

Indeed, isn’t it just bulky?

I narrowed my eyes.

Kuwu…

Then, there was a small hand pulling on my sleeve.

“Edar.”

At the low call, I lowered my head.

Mersephone in my arms looked up at me.

“Are you going?”

Mersephone nodded.

I read what the child was trying to say.

It means that he will use his characteristics to deal with the incarnation.

I didn’t answer right away because I wasn’t sure of the effect of the trait. But why did I bring a child who was only level 1 to this place in my arms?

It was because he judged that if the trait of being an apostle showed more ability than expected, he would be able to save more of his family and capture Kuirau.

“Yes, try it.”

Mersephone jumped out of the saddle.

At the same time, a haze shook around the child. Like Kuirau, the magic of the soul was indwelling the child. If there is a difference, there is only one source of magical power, me.

I hid my expression while holding back the surging headache.

flutter

Mersephone spread her wings wide.

It was a wing that was smaller than the palm of my hand, but it was longer than the length of my arms. It wasn’t just the wings that grew. The body has also grown from a child to an adult, creating an androgynous atmosphere between a woman and a man.

The golden bobbed hair caught the sunlight and looked like a halo, which combined with the white wings reminded me of an angel in my imagination.

an angel

I smiled lowly even as I pressed my forehead against the headache.

【Lv. 67]

The level also grew rapidly.

The rise of the SS in Cuilau was unparalleled.

【Lv. 73]

【Lv. 77]

Her level rose without stopping.

【Lv. 78]

【Lv. 79]

【Lv. 80]

Is this what it feels like to have your soul sucked out?

His eyesight shook and heat boiled from his whole body.

【Lv. 81]

【Lv. 82]

Mercephone grabbed the two knives lying on the floor and flew. As if her wings were not decorations, she fluttered and flew high, aiming at Kuirau, who was fighting with her followers.

Kuirau, who had been fighting with his followers on the ground, suddenly noticed Mersephone rushing from the sky and quickly reached out.

“joy!”

Wooddeuk…!

Even though the level was raised with the characteristic, the gap between inaction was considerable.

The blade she held out was crumpled in her bare hand.

It was only natural that it was so easily blocked.

But it wasn’t over. The moment Kuirau laughed and was about to withdraw his hand, flames erupted from his hand. The crumpled blade of Mersephone set off the fire.

Roaring!

The fire from his hand spread through his arm.

At the same time, light shone from Mercephone’s body.

“Keugh!”

Kuirau untied his hands and took a step back.

A fire burned in his bare arm.

“What have you done!”

He tried to use magical energy to extinguish the flames, but the magical energy it created reacted with the light emitted by Mersephone, resulting in unexpected results.

The spirit that had been revolving around him ran rampant.

Like pouring water into oil.

Mee eh eh eh eh——

As if bound by an invisible chain, the souls that had been bound by Kuirau and exploited for magical power were scattered into the air. to be freed from chains.

As the soul dispersed, the magical power that strengthened the body of the guy also faded, and the escape of the soul accelerated.

【Lv. 93]

As a result, the level dropped.

【Lv. 87]

Conversely, the level of Mersephone continued to rise.

It continued to grow while continuously absorbing mana from me.

And as the level rose, the light she emitted became stronger.

“What have you done!”

He must have felt the power to escape.

You must have seen the fleeing soul with your eyes.

【Lv. 92]

【Lv. 91]

Kuirau’s level plummeted.

“Now!”
