My Artificial Intelligence Has Become the Devil

Chapter 54-New Order (4)

Episode 54 – New Order (4)

“My lord. I found a little special guy. He wants to see the king in person.”

“What kind of guy are you?”

The news from all sides was just hopeless news, such as the defeat of the allies and the loss of land. Meanwhile, to the visibly emaciated Flauros, a servant brought another piece of news.

The vassal was in charge of contacting and bringing mercenaries who wished to fight in other territories under the orders of Flauros.

However, Flauros, who was already exhausted, was unresponsive. Above all, the demon world lord is not a being that a mere mercenary can meet just because he wants to meet him.

“I am the necromancer of the Dark Orcs.”

“…Necromancer?”

However, his eyes wriggled slightly when he learned the identity of the opponent. A necromancer is a shaman who deals with spirits and demons. It was because he couldn’t understand why such a being asked to see him.

“Let’s talk about it.”

After thinking for a while, he accepted the offer. It’s unconventional, but there’s no reason to refuse, and above all, they’re in a bad situation right now.

Whatever it was, it had to be tried.

Soon, in the palace of the sunken brown orcs, a being with an alien appearance stood in front of Flauros, wearing a black robe and walking proudly.

Amidst the shaded purple skin, golden eyes flashed.

“It’s an honor to meet you, King. It’s called Gaishan. Glory to the Orcs.”

“Not even an orc is a thing of the past. Because of Amon, the king of dark orcs like you. Stop talking nonsense now and get to the point. If you continue talking nonsense, I will execute you.”

“I understand that you are in a hurry.”

Gaishan, an orc with purple skin, laughed bitterly at the words of Flauros, whose blade stood. It meant that the king, who had to hide his true feelings and act politically, did not even have the time to do so.

“The main point is simple. Please attach elite troops to me. I can see the secrets of the black bugs that invaded the territory in my excellent spiritual eyes, so I will neutralize them and drive them out.”

“…is that for real?”

Flauros’ eyes widened in disbelief when Gaishan said he knew the secrets of his enemies. A necromancer is an existence that brown orcs, who can only deal with land magic, cannot have. It was impossible to verify the authenticity of the words here.

“My lord. I had the opportunity to visit and study the monsters while wandering around the territory. And I saw it clearly. Those monsters that attacked the territory are not ‘living beings’.”

“What do you mean by that? Then you mean undead?!”

“…Not like the undead. Something, something more complex and cold.”

Kaishan frowned. This is because there is a stutter in putting the facts you understand into easy-to-understand words.

A necromancer with psychic powers, he noticed that his enemies were not ordinary beings. What he saw instead of souls in the mountains and demon kings was none other than the command system planted by Lucy and a kind of communication network that manipulates it.

However, those designed by Lucy, an artificial intelligence, are woven from mechanical instructions and programs from beginning to end.

In the eyes of Kaishan, who was unaware of the concept, the gods and demons were by far a heterogeneous and bizarre group.

“They must be the beings of the Abyss from the outside, my king. They are monsters from a terrible, dark place different from this world, seeking to erode and devour this world.”

“Even if I tried to catch them together, the other lords ignored them!”

Hearing Gaishan’s answer, who swallowed dry saliva, Flauros became enraged and punched the handle of the throne with his fist! hit it

It was because he remembered the attitude of the other Demon Realm lords who were consistent with their appeals with indifference. Of course, the fact that he ignored Andras, the goblin king, had been completely forgotten.

“But how can you, a mere necromancer, deal with them alone?”

“They have a command object. A large number of soldiers must be moving under orders through the connection to that command object. So if you can break that connection.”

Gaishan nodded his head in confidence at the words of Flauros, who calmed his excitement. Since there was something I had seen in the first place, I came to visit Flauros within a month like this.

“Okay. Go prove it. If it’s true, I’ll give you a big prize like never before.”

After all, Flauros had to make a profit. Gaishan, who was supported by him, soon began to move with the elite brown orc warriors.

“Wouldn’t you believe me only if I prove my words?”

“You sound obvious.”

“So let’s prove it first. I’ll go to the nearest nest.”

Kaishan proudly declared that he would prove his strength to Gioro, one of the best warriors and an aide of Flauros who was to accompany him.

“There it is.”

And the place I approached for that was the base nest of the Demon King’s Army, which was built closest to the capital of the territory.

The nest, which serves as a kind of forward base, was guarded by numerous demon army soldiers, including high-ranking soldiers, in a dormant state.

‘No matter how many times I see it, it’s terrifying and scary.’

Gaishan grabbed the staff in his hand. It’s true that I was caught up in it several times and almost died. Each time, I was in a hurry to run away, let alone counterattack, and I couldn’t even imagine a counterattack.

In addition, in front of our eyes, numerous labor soldiers using demon beasts as their base are literally devastating the area and replacing all organic matter with nutrients.

Actions that, to the uninitiated, appear to be the sabotage of terrifying, ruthless monsters ending the world.

The Orcs, enraged at seeing them indiscriminately destroying their lands until they were left with nothing but dingy devastation, also gnashed their teeth with a vengeance.

“Come on. I’m going to kill them right now!”

“Look. Those soulless monsters of the void can’t stand this.”

At Gioro’s urging, Kaishan jumped up and raised his staff towards the sky. His mana, which moved immediately afterward, burst out in a purple flash and manifested itself.

counterattack begins. The Orcs, who were determined to fight, understood the flash that way.

***

[Enemy Appears in F-56 Nest]

[Operation of response system appropriate to the situation]

A signal like no other. Clearly, to Lucy, who is the central control system itself, it was just one of the signals rushing in from numerous places at the same time without stopping even for a second.

[…F-56 nest, lost contact]

But, I can assure you, this situation was the first time Lucy had ever experienced it.

Originally, Lucy’s control of her soldiers far away is to use a huge communication network centered on herself.

If command objects, which are subprograms, express a kind of wireless communication network to nearby troops, Lucy basically has one connection line for all objects.

However, the connection to one of the base nests was completely cut off. The connection line itself to the countless troops there was cut off.

[Data collection impossible. Unable to respond. Response…]

Lucy’s judgment itself began to be delayed in a situation she had never experienced before.

If it was Lucy now, even if it was the first time she was experiencing it, she would have found a countermeasure by establishing a hypothesis based on her fast computing power. However, when the connection was lost and data from the field could not be obtained, the operation itself stopped.

“Calm down. Not all connections are lost.”

It was he who was watching this situation who saved Lucy from such a panic. He was also embarrassed, but somehow he came up with a way for Lucy.

“Let’s send the fastest soldier who hasn’t been disconnected and check the situation first.”

[Immediately]

He replaced Lucy’s accident. Lucy just needs to move according to his commands like in the past.

Feeling strangely secure, Lucy quickly regained her composure and assisted him.

“What the hell is going on?”

[It’s in sight]

The nearest airship flew toward the scene at full speed. The nest being attacked by the Orcs was in the middle of a fierce battle.

[When I was disconnected, the subprogram there seems to have autonomously judged and responded]

At the center of the battlefield is Orc Gamma, whose strong heart is shining through. Orc Gamma, who wielded four swords from four arms, was somehow buying time while confronting the Orc general Gioro, such as manifesting berserk.

The rapid rise of the Demon King’s melee combat ability has now developed to this extent.

“Can you do it!”

However, the power of the Orc General is still strong enough that even a high-ranking one could not endure it. When he wielded the spear that raged with magical power, the defense of the Orc/Gamma, which had been pushed back from output, was pierced as it was, and his entire upper body was blown away.

At the same time, the communication network connected to the soldiers completely disappeared.

“The monsters…”

“As expected! I won!!”

When the connection with all the command objects was cut off, the general soldiers of the Demon King’s Army, who had no brain in charge of judgment, stopped all at once like puppets. This is because there is no trigger to activate the built-in command.

Seeing this, the Orcs cheered and roared and shouted, unable to hide their joy at their victory. It wasn’t just the joy of victory. Being able to verify a method that can deliver a certain blow to enemies, that is what makes me happy.

“How?”

On the other hand, he and Lucy, who were watching this scene, could not hide their embarrassment. In a way, it was a painful blow for the first time.

“This was the answer. Necromancer! With this, we can drive them out!”

And the question was answered by Gioro, who was excitedly talking in a loud voice. Not realizing that someone was watching from the sky, Gioro smiled at Kaishan, while Lucy observed a purple-skinned orc wearing a black hood and entered it into the data.

[The battle is treated as a defeat. Let’s gather some data on necromancy. I think the reason why I lost my connection was because of that power]

“Yes. Do it.”

Even in the face of shocking defeat, Lucy’s computational power, which began to be active again, calmly and quickly calculated follow-up measures.

But in the end, defeat is defeat. The orcs, who became confident in their movements, began to move without hesitation, and Lucy was required to improvise until she found a complete answer.

[Since the influence of the command objects on the field is still alive, we will respond by increasing the number of command objects where they are heading. In case this happens again in the future, you can also create an object that only takes charge of command using the fully synthetic remodeling technology that has been on track]

However, coming up with such a makeshift solution was no longer a big problem for Lucy. Lucy’s experience, which has been accumulated through the operation of numerous armies so far, becomes stronger as time passes.

Although she was a little shaken by the situation she was experiencing for the first time, Lucy was quick to think and move and had already begun to come up with countermeasures.
