Reincarnated into a Werewolf, the Demon Lord Servants Chapter 26

After that, there was a confidential meeting of Teacher and the Demon King for the purpose of capturing Tuban by the third division. Apparently, the commander is also decided, so I got busy suddenly.
Ryun Height, where we currently are, is the closest from Tuban. That’s why, this city will become the relay base for the Tuban capture army.

I ordered the inujin troops to start the construction work in front of the forest outside the west gate.

Even if I say so myself, it’s a harsh statement, but there is not enough materials or personnel.

The main forces this time around are the jinba race. Their upper body is human and lower body is horse. It’s the so-called centaurs. They are a troublesome group.

Therefore, in a hurry, I ordered the inujin military engineers to construct lodging house.

“Yo, commander. There you were!”

He rushed up to me half naked, and showed me horseshoe.

“Even if you ask me that…”

“There wouldn’t be mistakes in your work. I leave it to you.”

“I understand already.”

This time, it’s Faan-oneechan.

“Well, because the upper half is human, may be they don’t eat dry grass…”

Just in case, for each jinba soldier, two person worth of human food was scheduled to be prepared. Although it’s not as much a werewolf, but still they seem to eat well.

“What to do, I can’t prepare that much meat.”

“Understood, I will prepare that.”

Since the common sense and ecology is different if the races are different, anyway it’s a big job.

When we are having troubles with this and that, an inujin guard comes running.

“Fifteen hundred?”

It’s strange, considering the jinba troops, the numbers don’t match.

What is going on.

When I reached the north gate, I ordered to close the castle gate.

Receiving the emergency summons, werewolves gathered at the northgate one by one.

“From that direction, enemies won’t come, right?”
To the werewolves saying unanimously, I ask them to be vigilant just in case. It was also just like when Tuban volunteer troops came.

The ones getting closer certainly look like cavalry, but gradually their figures could be seen clearly.

The upper body is armor wearing soldier, and the lower body is horse of a size of a pony. Rather a brave appearance.
Nonetheless, I feel uneasy about the numbers being different from the report.

And soon the jinba troops are aligned before the castle gate, and a little jinba soldier came forward from within.

“Ya Ya I am the demon army third division aide, ‘Violent Runner’ Fernel! Open the gate, open the ga~te!”

(TN: the second time, she says it cutely, Kaimon)

Since Fernel was the name I had heard, getting down from the castle walls, I greeted them. The anxious werewolves also follow in succession.

(TN: Here nice to meet you is Hajimemashite, which is normally used if you’re meeting someone for the first time, that’s why Vaito is confused if it was the first time they met)

“Hmm, nice to meet you! Although I am not a magician, I believe I am a disciple of Gomoviroa-sama! Please treat me well, senpai!”

Somehow the rhythm is amiss.
(TN: She refers herself as ‘Boku’, which is normally used by young boys, aka bokuonna)

It seems like there are no problems, so I guided them to the west forest.

“Eh, why is it only five hundred?”

“Because you didn’t report the exact numbers.”

It’s not ehehe.

Since it can’t be helped, I decided to order the inujins to spread out the tents. I can’t bring myself to make the officers of demon army to sleep outdoors. Somehow it should be enough.

“I am a junior, so you can call me without honorifics.”
Fernel laughs. She’s innocently cute, but is she really fine as a commander, this girl.

“Fernel, listen well. The demon army is neither a collection of hobbies, nor is it a charity. It is troublesome if you don’t report accurately, or do not act according the decided plan.”

“Yes, I will be careful from now on!”

“So, please don’t be angry anymore, senpai?”
“Can’t you please stop that way of calling.”

I invited her to the Viceroy’s mansion, lead her to the office. I think the carpets would be considerably spoiled with the hoofs, but well I will apologize to the maids of the viceroy later.

“The fifteen hundred jinba troops and three hundred shiro troops from Mereen-senpai. The rest are the thousand skeleton troops from Teacher, adding together it’s three thousand, isn’t it?”

Stop calling me like that.
Somehow it feels ticklish.

“Well, the werewolf troops have to defend Ryun Height…”

“Teacher was saying that she has lent senpai two thousand skeleton troops?”

Then Fernel cheerfully laughed.
“It’s fine, even if enemies were to come, they would be Tuban’s relief forces.”

I fixedly gaze at the map.

Just that, Mirarudia alliance army’s main force is fiercely battling in the northern war front, the possibility of an attack here is very low.

“But, we can’t be careless.”

“Senpai, on the capture of Tuban lies the northern war front’s… no, the demon army’s future. We absolutely can’t fail. That’s why, please, lend me the soldiers.”

“Th,that’s right….”

With a complete change, Fernel made a carefree expression.

But, the serious gaze of Fernel was burned into my mind.

“Fernel. You, can you move the skeleton soldiers?”

“Then, it can’t be helped.”

Fernel is disheartened.

Standing up, I patted her back.

In the blink of an eye, her expressions became cheerful, and kicking up her hooves she hugged me.

So, please stop calling me like that.
