Became the Queen of the Legion

[A new type of scout has been born]

“Good.”

Until now, we just deployed an ordinary soldier for reconnaissance. That was enough for the time being.

But as our forces grew and we needed more and more information, scouting by crawling on the ground felt limited.

Especially in a situation where we needed to gather information for war, it felt even more frustrating to me, who knew about aerial reconnaissance or satellite reconnaissance.

So I created a new soldier. It wasn’t difficult, just modifying an existing combat troop to be capable of flight.

A much lighter body, transparent wings that can fly quickly. The durability and combat power are a bit lacking, but it’s that much faster.

I was planning to properly mass-produce flying combat troops that can perform combat while flying after enhancing traits a bit more.

“Scout them. As high up as possible.”

Its size isn’t that big either. Almost goblin-sized.

But its visual ability, created by injecting all the genetic information of demonic beasts I have, is top-notch.

It can see through the darkness of night as if it were broad daylight, clearly recognize even tiny things, and inform about the surrounding situation in real-time while practically observing all directions with countless compound eyes.

[The scout has arrived at enemy territory]

I scattered such scouts in all directions.

However, what I’m focusing on most right now is, of course, the goblin village that seems to have been touched by a player’s hand.

‘Could it be multiplayer? Not the main base?’

Even when playing as goblins, it was natural to create multiple nests. If that’s the case, I couldn’t even guess how huge the enemies’ main base might be.

“At least over 800… considering those doing outside activities or indoors, should I estimate it at 1,000?”

The level of the enemies properly scouted from the sky like this was beyond expectations.

If it were a game, it wouldn’t be strange to have already created or conquered and operated a new nest by now.

‘It’s the Altar of Heaven. Then this is the main base.’

But my eyes, possessing the scout, saw an altar-like structure in the center of the enemy village.

That altar, made of stones and skulls, was a facility that could mass-produce mutants with red skin, Red Skins, which could be built with player traits.

In other words, that place is their main base.

“I can rule out the possibility of reinforcements rushing in. Surely they haven’t established diplomatic relations with surrounding goblin villages.”

It would be a disaster if reinforcements rushed in from their main base while we were in the midst of fighting. Having eliminated that worry, there was no reason to hesitate anymore.

[Once the newly expanded nests settle, we can produce soldiers much faster]

“…Alright. As much as I want to move right now, I’ll wait just a little longer.”

For more perfect preparation, I decided to give them a few more days of grace.

Even at this moment, our nest is expanding and the number of soldiers is increasing.

“—!”

In a cave near our base, Gartia, the giant centipede living there, finally collapsed to the ground, unable to resist properly against the acid poison shower from our allied soldiers.

After the interior of the cave was conquered like that, workers were massively deployed to continue the work of refining the cave interior.

And in the deepest part of that cave. A worker that arrived there burst the pouch it was holding in its mouth, as if this place would be appropriate.

What’s contained in the pouch is a thick black mucus, where condensed omnipotent cells immediately began to divide at an incredible speed and started growing into necessary structures.

[Artificial uterus growth complete]

[Artificial digestive organ growth complete]

Parts of my body that grow on their own by sending just a part of my cells without me going directly.

A new nest was born with those.

The artificial uterus immediately starts growing eggs, and workers diligently input food into the digestive organs.

‘Troops that can be mobilized immediately: 1,000. Troops growing: 1,000. Troops that can be produced in one cycle: about half of that…’

The information that can be checked in real-time through the connected consciousness includes how many soldiers I can command now.

This number is sufficient to dominate the area.

So thinking this is the right time, I made a decision.

“Gather. And advance.”

Now is the time. War was essential for us, even to handle our rapidly growing size. Because the moment we stop war, we might collapse, unable to handle this overgrown body.

[Your soldiers have gathered and are all rushing towards enemy territory]

Soldiers who were active and soldiers who were conserving energy in dormant state all woke up at once and charged towards the goblin village that the scout is observing even at this moment.

* * *

“Chief, report on today’s hunting and harvests.”

“Hmm… Today’s harvest isn’t bad. You even caught a Ragadon?”

The chieftain nodded satisfactorily at his subordinate’s report written on leather.

Today was another smooth day.

They hunted abundant prey and expanded the fields more. Food is sufficiently stockpiled, and with its by-products, they can make stronger weapons.

“All this is thanks to the help of the great Sky God.”

The chieftain closed his eyes with a devout face, then clasped his hands and nodded as if offering a prayer to the sky. Seeing this, others followed suit and offered thanks.

“We should give a reward to warrior captain Huchi and his subordinates who caught the Ragadon. Tell them they can grab any female from the breeding pens and have fun with her tonight.”

“Ooh…”

All the goblins stirred at the chieftain’s following reward.

For them, the opportunity to mate with ‘females’ from the breeding pens was the highest reward.

Originally, it was rational to give those who proved their strength as a whole group the opportunity to sow their seeds.

“This concludes the meeting. Everyone go and rest.”

After that, the chieftain ended the meeting and stood up. He planned to look around the village and check on his subordinates before going to sleep.

“Hm? What’s the matter?”

“Chief, th-that…”

That’s when a red-skinned warrior approached, looking nervous. The warrior told him that some of the scouts he sent out today hadn’t returned.

“Northwest, Romu’s village, those sent to check, not returning.”

“I thought it was strange that the contact Romu said he’d send didn’t come, but could something have happened?”

He frowned at the report of the warrior who was reporting using his vocabulary skills to the maximum.

Something worrisome had come up just as he was about to go to bed in a good mood. However, it’s night now with darkness fallen.

It’s not very wise to move now when nocturnal demonic beasts become active.

“Urgh?!”

But at that moment, the chieftain rolled his eyes as if struck by lightning and trembled, his body twitching.

Seeing this, the surrounding goblins were greatly surprised and all prostrated themselves on the ground.

“Chief! Sky God’s revelation! He’s receiving it!”

It was actually a familiar occurrence for them. When the chieftain occasionally had seizures like this, he would receive revelations from the Sky God and perform mysterious sorcery or make wise judgments that benefited the village.

All the goblins watched with anticipation to see what miracle the chieftain would show this time after receiving the revelation.

“Kuhek.. Heurk…”

When the chieftain’s revelation finally ended. The goblins waiting politely on their knees looked at the chieftain with sparkling eyes, waiting for his words.

However, the chieftain shouted with a pale face:

“M-monsters are coming! Their numbers are enormous, so prepare defenses immediately! Right now! Quickly!”

“Wh-what?!”

The revelation the chieftain received this time wasn’t one that told them which direction to advance, nor was it a blessing that allowed them to handle special powers.

“Emergency!”

It was literally an urgent warning declaring an emergency.

“Move quickly! Take up weapons!”

“Warriors, command the soldiers! The Sky God has warned us!”

The goblin village was turned upside down.

All goblins prepared to fight and headed for the walls and watchtowers.

At the same time, countless torches went up, brightening the area as if it were broad daylight.

“Damn it! Curse it!”

Even those in the damp earthen cave dug underground in the nest had to go out and fight.

The goblin warrior captain, Huchi, who had received a reward today and planned to roll around here all night, was no exception.

With an expression of extreme regret, Huchi let go of someone’s hair he was holding and hurriedly put on his armor that he had taken off and went outside.

In this place where all the goblins who came to violate had left, only occasional groans from those tied up could be heard.

“…”

She, whom Huchi had been holding until just before, was one of those.

A breeding sow imprisoned in the dark underground, unable to properly control her body due to the aphrodisiac mixed with the poisonous herbs the goblins frequently fed them.

She barely avoided being violated, but it was just postponed slightly. Once fallen this far, there’s no way to escape anyway.

Even in her hazy state where she couldn’t judge properly, she could guess that much.
