Lewd Dungeon Master: This Orc Is Too Damn OP!-Chapter 285: Total Mobilization

The time had come.

I distributed inner armor to my subordinates and waited for the day to change. The surface team and basement team were each divided and waiting in front of the portal behind the vanguard, and now it was time to launch the counterattack.

"Everyone listen."

I stomped my feet hard. The heartbeat-inducing resonance had a demonic quality that excited the legion’s warriors.

"Once this war is over, we’ll take a break."

At my words, everyone looked at each other and smiled. Knowing what "break" meant, they grinned wickedly and raised their weapons.

"I won’t talk long. Just follow the plan and we’ll win. Show them the true power of the Legion of Wrath, then seize victory."

What sweeter reward could there be than winning a fight?

"Don’t fear death. You can be resurrected. But I’d prefer if you didn’t die if possible. If I use magic stones to resurrect you, I can’t make magical fluid with them."

Someone chuckled. It was both a practical issue and an important matter to make subordinates prioritize their own survival above all else.

[The door will open in 30 seconds.]

"Opening both ways in 30 seconds!!"

Shaitan sent the signal, and I announced it to everyone. The Death Knights at the vanguard were pawing the ground and snorting as if ready to charge out at any moment.

Dullahans and unicorns. These seemingly mismatched monsters had become pairs through monster synthesis.

Just as Halphas’s legion sent Pale Rider units to ambush our legion, I too would send Death Knight units to devastate the battlefield.

Naturally, opening fireworks were needed to signal the start. I stretched out the wide shield I’d brought in advance. The shield large enough to cover two people was even coated with a protective barrier by Shaitan’s magic.

Thud, thud thud.

I stood right in front of the portal. To ensure the Death Knights could charge safely, I had to pave the way well.

[Notice: Portal direction has changed!]

[Direction: Both ways (<=>)]

"Uoooooh!!"

Holding the shield in front, I led the charge and leaped into the portal. The world turned hazy, and I laughed at the massive horde of monsters greeting me.

’Did they have the same idea?’

In front of the portal, a full crowd of skeletons had taken position. Whether they were sentries or planning to attack like me, I didn’t know.

One thing was certain—they were no match for us.

"No need for opening fireworks! Go----!!"

Neighhh----!!

Death Knights charged forward beside me with the sound of hoofbeats.

Kyaaaah!!

At the front was a unicorn wearing black demon armor and a dullahan in a battle dress—the Amdusias and Kimaris pair, two dungeon masters united and charging like a tank.

And behind that charge were dullahans with their heads "attached," each riding their own unicorn.

Clatter clatter!!

Black-boned skeletons hastily raised weapons to block. But it was already too late to stop the charge.

Crack, crunch!

The unicorn lifted its hooves and kicked ribs. The dullahan swung its sword and split spines. Then the unicorn swung its horn again to pierce skulls. The skeletons began dropping helplessly before the Death Knights.

’Too weak.’

Weaklings as expected. Far too early to get drunk on victory. But even if those things were just fodder, we had to rampage spectacularly to build momentum.

"Ravage them----!!"

The surface 1st floor of Halphas’s dungeon was, as Shax had told me, a flat area the size of a sports stadium. In other words, unlike other parts of the dungeon, it was a perfect place for cavalry to rampage.

Clop clop, clop clop!!

The unicorns charged forward. The Death Knights wheeled around following the lead Ki&Am pair.

Caaaaw!!

From the opposite side, enemies who’d noticed our presence began charging. Was it fate’s cruel joke? The first enemies charging at us were plague riders—Pale Riders.

Pale Riders. Death’s cavalry wielding scythes with cutting power that could slice through anything.

Hwaaaa!

The Ki&Am pair raised massive weapons toward the Pale Riders. Unlike the swords dullahans normally carried, these were stone cavalry lances specially made for cavalry charges.

Stone lances carved from Stone Golems using slimes. The dullahans all held lances and charged. The Pale Riders uniformly raised their scythes, targeting our Death Knights.

"Raaaaas!!"

Like a game of chicken, the Death Knights and Pale Riders charging at each other swung weapons without giving an inch.

Kraaaaang---!

Cavalry lances and scythes collided. The sharply honed scythes dug in as if to split the lances, but only embedded about 5 cm.

’Not just ordinary lances.’

The outside of the lances was covered in black fabric-like material. Before crossing the dungeon, I’d attached discarded fabric received from the union boss to the lances.

Clang!

Another Pale Rider’s scythe happened to hit the black fabric part of the lance. Far from cutting sharply, it bounced off as if hitting solid armor.

?!?!

I could clearly see the Pale Riders’ confusion. Holding my shield, I watched the battlefield and shouted at the top of my lungs.

"This zone is ours now---!!"

If you don’t want to get eaten, you’d better come down.

Halphas.

***

"How tedious. So boring I could yawn."

Halphas sighed while watching Andras’s minions who’d crossed through the portal from the highest point of the nest.

"Shax was defeated by just this level of power?"

Furcas dying or whatever wasn’t much of an issue. But Shax’s defeat was somewhat unexpected even for Halphas.

"They’re similar to Pale Riders. Except for one leader, they’re all about the same. Did Shax get taken hostage by guys like these?"

Halphas felt irritation rising at the enemy presence starting to rampage on surface 1st floor. Going down personally was annoying, but leaving it alone would surely lead to them eyeing the nest.

"That Phenex bastard being annoying is already pissing me off...."

"Leave it to me."

Yellow sanpaku eyes gleamed in the darkness.

"I’ll devour them spectacularly and return."

"Try to capture them alive if possible. Take hostages and threaten Andras."

Halphas chewed and swallowed meat while sneering.

"I’ll throw everyone except Andras and Gremory into that Phenex bastard’s dungeon."

"I’ll follow your orders."

The yellow sanpaku-eyed monster quietly disappeared. Halphas closed his eyes quietly, ignoring the warning transmitted through the system.

"For a mere rank 63 to try counterattacking me—they’re crazy, truly insane."

Halphas chewed and swallowed a knight’s corpse captured outside the dungeon, waiting for his subordinates to bring news of victory.

***

The clash between Death Knights and Pale Riders—we won. The speed the Pale Riders boasted was barely matched by the unicorns, and their vaunted cutting power couldn’t fully slice through the cavalry lances.

Cavalry—our victory. Then it was time to move the infantry and break the enemy’s main force.

"Uooooh!!"

I threw my shield forward with full force. Black-boned skeletons swept up by the shield had their entire bodies shattered.

"Rangers begin long-range shooting!!"

Human adventurers sniped skeletons with crossbows and bows. Using gargoyle stone fragments as arrowheads wasn’t very lethal, but among the adventurers was an existence practically a hard counter to undead.

"Oh goddess!"

Guinevere, a priest with looks comparable to the female adventurers around him, blessed the human adventurers. With divine power boasting extreme advantage against monsters, the adventurers’ shots had doubled lethality.

Papapapak!!

The adventurers’ arrows began raining down on the skeleton horde. I lifted the remaining shield and threw it forward once more.

Crack!

Three skeletons were crushed under the shield, bones pulverized. I ran over in one stride and stomped the shield with my foot.

"Halphas, come out! You scared?!"

Thud, thud thud thud!

I jumped on top of the shield taunting Halphas. The red glowing tattoo on my face scattered aura around, spreading throughout the legion and boosting morale.

"Ahem, can’t be helped. I didn’t want to say this, but if you won’t come out, I have no choice!"

I took a deep breath toward the ceiling and shouted.

"I devoured Andras!! Your Andras was amazing!!"

Instantly, the entire dungeon’s atmosphere sank. Thick murderous intent and the aura of death wafted strongly.

"...Whoa."

Halphas must’ve thrown a fit. It felt somewhat similar to Shax’s aura but with a qualitatively clear difference. The pressure alone felt deadly.

"...Hehe, but so what!"

I deliberately raised my voice to shake off my trembling body from tension.

"I even made Andras lay eggs!!"

Rumble rumble.

The ceiling opened. From the ceiling at least 5m high, some bizarre monster appeared.

"How vulgar. Where do you spout such ridiculous lies?"

"Are you Halphas?"

"No. Lord Halphas doesn’t come down for weaklings like you. I’m Lord Halphas’s closest aide-"

"Then fuck off. I came to catch Halphas."

"Such an impudent bastard. No need to dirty Lord Halphas’s ears. I’ll kill you."

"Keke, ’I’ll kill you.’ What an ama-zing guy showed up."

I raised my middle finger at the enemy flying around the ceiling with yellow sanpaku eyes.

"A wyvern-looking thing working under a crow—aren’t you embarrassed?"

"Where do you run your mouth!"

"In Halphas’s dungeon, you idiot! Running your mouth in your own dungeon and you don’t even know it, you moron!"

I activated my tattoo’s power and spread both arms wide.

"Come down, Halphas! I’ll forgive you if you come down now! But if you don’t come down...!"

I pointed at the ceiling and shouted loudly.

"Andras will be fucked by a human---!!"

Saying I’d make Andras a half-breed—what kind of reaction would that get?

***

"????"

Did I mishear?

Halphas, about to fall asleep, was dumbfounded by the orc’s babbling.

"What did I just hear?"

"Just the orc spouting whatever nonsense."

"Didn’t he just say he devoured Andras and would have her fucked by a human?"

"He must mean he killed and ate a ★★ Andras species. Having her fucked by a human is...just a trick to confuse you, Commander."

The blonde woman sitting beside Halphas stated her opinion firmly. Thinking within reason, those words made sense.

"Did he actually kill Andras? It’s Andras’s deception tactic, demeaning herself to humiliate you, Commander."

"No. That definitely sounds like bastards bragging they ate someone else’s woman. He said he ate Andras. Doesn’t that mean sexually?"

"...Surely not."

Cold sweat ran down the blonde woman’s back. Halphas’s expression gradually twisted, and the blonde woman had to calm Halphas somehow.

"The orc does look quite strong. But not enough for you to intervene, Commander. I’ll handle it."

"Having the seal go out isn’t ideal...but fine. You’re perfect for dealing with such low-level provocations."

"...Yes. I’ll handle it."

The blonde woman choked up inside but held it in. She wasn’t someone who deserved such insults, yet reality had put her in a position to hear even worse.

"Heheheh, I’ll take a nap, so quickly deal with those bastards. Yellow went down, so take Blue and Red too and wipe them all out."

"Total war? But then in the war with Phenex’s forces...."

"Kill all the annoying bastards so we can fight the war safely."

Halphas growled with fierce eyes.

"You think I’d just watch someone humiliate what’s mine?"

"...I’ll move as you command."

Halphas buried his head in the nest. The blonde woman immediately left.

Dungeon 2nd floor. Separated from surface 1st floor, with magic circles and monsters stationed at every climbing staircase.

At the very top nest was Halphas, and right below was the woman’s—the seal’s—zone. The blonde woman sighed as she descended to her zone and gave orders to the dungeon’s monsters.

"Lord Halphas’s command. Total mobilization. Ravage the enemy...except that pot-bellied orc."

The dungeon began seething.
