Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans - Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans chapter 96

– If the second party attacked your city, it’s too late to go back now! Catch him and punish him!

Koamik, who had turned around, hesitated.

It was as Kuirau said. Even if the urgent news was delivered through the familiar, it was a very long distance from the border to the capital.

Maybe it was already leading to looting after occupation.

– Even if you don’t, what can the second team do if you catch him?

“…”

Koamik pondered for a moment before asking.

“When are you going to attack? What is the exact time?”

– tomorrow morning. when the day dawns

###

I entered the barracks made of tents.

Following behind, Calliope and Gerhard took their seats.

“It wasn’t bad to attack right after the duel was over.”

As soon as I sat down, I pulled the bowl forward on the table.

“Because a senior commander was killed right in front of his eyes. Morale must have gone down considerably. If it’s a normal army, there’s nothing strange about it.”

The child in my arms reached over and rummaged through the bowl full of nuts.

“But the enemy has an incarnation.”

“yes.”

I nodded at Gerhard’s answer.

Incarnation Kuirau, will morale drop when God is by your side?

A collapsed morale will rise once he shouts.

“Since there is no commander, they can only charge ignorantly like Orcs and Goblins, but they are still very threatening to the current Imperial Army. If we fight on flat ground, the damage is inevitable.”

Even if you kill Kuirau, it would be difficult if the damage was enormous.

It shouldn’t be thought that the Imperial Army is an enemy worthy of dealing with.

The battle was postponed to create a more advantageous situation.

I decided to prepare my position and attract the enemy.

“But with this method, the problem is when the enemy comes. It can also be a handshake that gives the enemy time to get reinforcements.”

“If the enemy is not in a hurry.”

So I made the enemy chase in time.

You should have contacted Koamic by now.

Additional troops from the Imperial Army have arrived in front of the capital.

“The secondary supply unit was armed the same as the Imperial Army. Unless you face it, you won’t know it’s camouflage. There will be no troops to fight.”

Sudo, Ra pointed the knife at the heart again.

Will Koamic be able to stay true to himself?

Gerhard laughed.

“Not only the capital, but the entire rear is defenseless. If I don’t go back soon, I will think that the whole country might be burned.”

There are two choices that are forced upon Koamic.

Retreat immediately and guard the rear,

Defeat me immediately and make me a hostage,

Either way, it’s clear that time is running out.

“Coamik became impatient, so Kuirau must be equally impatient.”

Without Coamik, Kuirau had to deal with me alone.

So before Coamic chooses to retreat, I’ll suggest a pincer attack. The capital may have already been burned, it’s too late, it’s better to catch me, like this.

“Tomorrow is most likely.”

“okay. It’s tomorrow. The time when an impatient enemy comes.”

We’re going to start attacking at dawn.

Because that is the time when the boundaries are the loosest.

“This is the fight to finish this expedition. It is as important as it is, and it will be the most intense, so be prepared to make sure you do not make a mistake.”

“We are always ready, Your Majesty.”

Gerhard lowered his head.

At that moment, the child pulled the bowl and spilled it.

rumbling—

“ah-“

As the contents spilled out of the bowl, the child in my arms fluttered with her arms in panic, along with the tiny wings growing on her back.

“done. Okay.”

I stroked the head of the child who was at a loss. Then the child looked up at me with surprised eyes and smiled.

“No matter how you look at it, he’s just an ordinary kid.”

Gerhard brought his face close to the child’s.

“In terms of rank, it’s higher than Calliope…”

I glanced at Calliope.

She stood behind me and watched Mersephone silently.

slap!

Mercephone’s small hand slapped Gerhard’s hairy cheek.

“Oh, did you surprise me?”

Gerhard let go of his beard and stepped back.

“What are you going to do, Your Majesty? From the looks of it, Rachel will like it… but personally, I would not recommend leaving it to Rachel.”

“well.”

Mersephone gave a big yawn, then rubbed her sleepy eyes and leaned her head against my arm.

I read Mersephone’s characteristics while carefully stroking her back to keep her wings from folding.

If the system doesn’t lie, there must be something.

It’s because it’s not serious from the characteristics.

The rank of the clan creation skill has risen.

It was the day before the decisive battle with Cuilau.

I wanted to climb during the expedition. The duration of the expedition was scheduled to exceed half a year, and then the skill level would reach 6 stars and more than a year would have passed.

In the expedition plan, whether or not the skill level was raised was not considered.

Because I didn’t know what kind of clan would come out with the skill.

You can’t leave your plans to chance.

Mersephone

Lv. One

Class: SSS

Attributes: [Fellow], [Apostle]

————————————

However, I was sure that S-class or higher would be created.

There was a rule about the family that was created when the skill grade went up.

‘S-class and A-class are generated alternately.’

It was not a law specified in the system.

I was certain of it because it had been so until now.

In the previous grade increase, he obtained the A-class family member and Admiral Horatio, so this time it was time to create an S-grade.

[The range of ranks created by 7 stars is up to $&*#$ SSS.]

There was also a possibility that SS or SSS would appear because the maximum grade was also raised at the time of creation.

‘I thought the SSS class would appear right away.’

Among the members I created before, the highest grade is S grade.

There were only three S-classes: Calliope, Pasimea, and Skadi.

Only three out of thousands of followers.

Each of the three had their own special talent.

‘Calliope fights, Pasimea develops, and Skadi administers.’

Is Mersephone a Religion?

Looking at its characteristics and appearance, it must be said that it specialized in religion.

‘It’s a religion…’

There were many religiously specialized families.

A typical example was the nun Rachel.

She is the head of the Catholic Church, which is no different from the state religion.

————————————

Nun

Rachel

Lv. 71

Grade: C

————————————

Rachel’s initial level is 37.

It’s almost twice as high, and it was worth it.

During the conquest of Germania, he assisted me and captured several Wolf Cult priests, and even after the conquest, he remained in Germania and suppressed the Wolf Cult uprising, and was active in the field.

‘But fundamentally, Rachel’s grade is C.’

There is no penalty for having a low grade.

Just what level it was at when it was created, an indication of the degree.

Nevertheless, the reason for mentioning grades and levels is that the level of members of the Catholic Church is relatively lower than that of other ministries compared to the size of the Catholic Church.

From that point of view, the creation of Mersephone was appropriate.

There are many things to worry about to be happy.

“Ko…”

I saw Mersephone dozing in my arms.

Mersephone was a girl. A very young girl too.

He was no taller than my waist, and he was a speechless child.

Four years old is a lot of age?

It was the first time for such a young family.

‘If you look at the rating, it’s higher than Calliope. It is suitable for the head of the Catholic Church to replace Rachel. But the level and appearance are just children.’

Although she was young in appearance and mentally a child, Mersephone’s mind was no different from that of a child. The grade is the highest among the family members, but the situation is also the lowest.

How should I treat this child?

This was the problem I mentioned earlier.

————————————

[Apostle]

It strengthens itself with the power emitted by its owner’s soul.

————————————

However, the characteristics were quite clear.

You can interpret it as strengthening yourself with the power of faith.

Whether the reinforcement is temporary or permanent, what level of reinforcement it is, the degree to which it is questionable. Low levels can be strengthened with characteristics, so it can be said that they are set low.

“hmm.”

I was about to check the properties right away, but I gave up.

Aren’t you facing a showdown?

I was in trouble if something happened.

“Are you human?”

Gerhard asked while looking at Mersephone.

Wings flapped on the back of the sleeping child.

He trembled as if he was dreaming.

“I guess so.”

Because the clan creation skill only creates humans.

I’ve never seen a human with wings.

From noble mtl dot com

dawn.

A field covered with darkness.

But soon, by the time the sun starts to brighten.

Cuilau’s army moved.

Sasak… Sasak…

Cuilau, who had lost the duel with Edar yesterday and pretended to accept the outcome, decided to launch a surprise attack after dawn.

It was around dawn, when security was at its weakest.

He was exhausted from staying up all night, and it was time to be alert that the sun would soon rise and the worries of night raids would disappear.

“stop.”

At the head of the skirmish, the unit commander spoke quietly.

The unit commander hid his presence and inspected the military camp of the imperial army.

The Imperial army camped behind a hill, and built a wooden barrier above the hill. The barrier was two stories high, and a pit was dug in front like a moat.

The height of the barrier and the depth of the pit were less than 1m, but considering that it took a day to build, it was complied with.

In particular, instead of the low height of the barrier, a gun was placed on the first floor to place the cannon. It was designed to increase the effectiveness of volley fire by placing artillery on the first floor and musketeers on the second floor rather than the defensive power of the barrier itself.

“You made it very well.”

The unit commander rolled his eyes, muttered, and fell on his stomach.

Three guards with torches were walking over the barrier.

“huh?”

A sentinel stopped and looked over the barrier.

“what’s the matter?”

Two other guards followed his gaze.

All he could see was a thick fog in the darkness.

“No, I heard something.”

“sound? What are you talking about?”

The sentinel put a hand on his ear and tilted his head.

Just then, a calm wind blew.

“Is it an illusion?”

Another sound was buried in the barrel that the sound of the wind brushed my ears.

As the guard passed by, the unit commander let out a sigh of relief.

“It could have been a big deal.”

However, once doubts arise, they do not disappear easily.

The skirmishers advanced slowly, lying face down on the ground.

Cuilau’s main force followed behind the skirmishers.

‘Almost there. If you signal, it will rush right in.’

The distance between the scout and the camp was about a hundred meters.

I just had to get a little closer. The purpose of the scouting unit was not simple reconnaissance. Their aim was to take the barrier by surprise and neutralize it from firing back until Cuilau’s main force arrived.

If they engaged in close combat, even the new weapon of the Imperial Army, which destroyed the cavalry in the first battle, would not be able to produce effective firepower. Cuilau’s victory was certain.

‘preparation!’

The moment the scouting unit, which had approached by sticking to the ground, was about to stand up,

ridge!

The drums rang.

“What…”

The scouting unit commander widened his eyes.

‘Is the barrier higher?’

no.

A human stood on top of the barrier.

There were so many humans that they filled the barriers.

The imperial army’s musketeers aimed their guns at the skirmishers.

‘trap!’

The response of the Imperial Army was faster than thoughts coming out as sounds.

“Shoot!”

Ride on and on!

The musketeers fired a volley.

The skirmishers approached the military camp with their faces down.

Because of that, the skirmishers were not prepared for anything. For the musketeers looking down from the top of the barrier, the skirmishers lying down were only easy targets.

Hundreds of skirmishers were pierced by bullets.

pop! pop! pop!

At the same time, field guns and siege guns fired shells.

The shells were not aimed at the scouting unit, but at the main unit behind it.

“aaagh!”

“It’s a trap!”

What’s the use of screaming late?

The imperial army fired a volley and immediately began loading.

Although this moment was the Imperial Army’s most vulnerable moment, Kuirau’s forces hesitated to charge. It was because the arrows poured down like rain.

Shush shush!

Archers fired arrows from behind the barriers.

There were a lot of arrows falling on the ground because it wasn’t aiming and shooting at the enemy. However, it was enough to stop the charge of the enemy in mental confusion.

Cuilau’s army had lost all its superior commanders the day before.

Those who were mere centenarians were promoted as a temporary measure. It was possible to block the command vacuum right away, but it was impossible to skillfully command 10 or 100 times the number of soldiers in the morning.

“Don’t panic!”

“It’s a trap! Conversely, we are caught in a trap!”

“Uh, what should I do? Continue the attack?”

The commanders hesitated when the surprise failed.

Should the battle continue?

Or should I retreat?

“These idiots!”

Then, Kuirau shouted.

“What are you doing! Don’t attack right away!”

A scream filled with magical power created a wind.

The wind beat the skin like a whip and lifted the fog.

The sun was rising on the horizon, so when the fog dissipated, I could clearly see the imperial military camp several tens of meters ahead.

The fact that the destination was closer than expected and the elation caused by the power of Kuirau calmed the confusion.

“Kuirau-sama said!”

A thousand people shouted.

“Kill all humans!”

“Kill them all!”

Then, the other generals and thousand commanders also shouted.

The entire force of Kuirau charged in unison.

Even the reserve commander, who had to keep an eye on the situation and be put into the vulnerable line, ordered a charge like a warrior in the forefront because of his humble command experience.

“God will!”

30,000 Lizardmen rushed into the Imperial Army’s defenses.

Ride on and on!

Perbung! pop! pop!

After loading, the cannon fired a second volley.
