Chapter 189 189 - Entrapping The Army[Sensitive Topic Warning]
The arrows from the archers were burned to dust before they ever made it to Rose or her companions as they floated in the sky. And the many spells from their mages were consumed by Moriyana\'s illusion field that only got stronger after consuming more and more mana. Peering down at the flightless elves, Athena\'s eyes met with Laura looking at all of them in shock.
\'We really used her, didn\'t we?\' She thought, feeling slightly guilty about the situation.
"Get down now you cowards!" Amara screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Ma\'am, if we don\'t hand those demons to the army-"
"I know!" Yelling at the elf messenger, Amara gritted her teeth shut.
Being in charge of the only unit capable of fighting, she felt frustrated by her inability in bringing down a small pair of troublemaking intruders. She\'d tried everything she could and yet nothing was working and no matter what kind of crazy ideas she tried to implement it all ended in failure.
"Are you done with the spell? I\'m tired of hanging by these chains!" Feeling her sides beginning to hurt, Alice peered up at Moriyana.
Drawing the excess mana out from the illusion shield, she was casting an extensive hypnosis skill that would not only help them get out of the village easily but also make it so that they had something in their hand when returning back to their master.
"Shut up or I\'ll leave you here," with those words, Moriyana made Alice\'s skin crawl.
Stuck in a stalemate, the elves and the group kept watch on each other, while at the other end of the cave\'s entrance, the army was ready to march in. Lined up in a frontline position, about a thousand soldiers were fully clad in steel armor.
"That is enough time…" As giant as an orc, the hammer-wielding general at the very front turned towards his army. "Moriyana Malice, and Margarette Phoenix those two are the demons were looking for, you\'re free to kill, torture, or rape anyone else."
The last part especially stuck out to the army. Although they felt repulsed by the idea of sharing their cities with elves whom they considered monsters, none of them would decline a chance to meld together with the entrancing charm of an elven woman.
"Now charge!" Giving his men the order, the general led them into battle.
Full of vigor at the thought of the naked bodies of elven women, the men stomped through the cave and went right past the illusionary mud wall. However, to their surprise, as they came to the other side there was not a single soul left inside the elven village.
"Where are they?!" The general yelled, feeling his blood boiling. "Search for them at every corner!"
Blinded by lust, the men upturned the whole village looking under every crevice and corner, yet at the end of it all not even a single elf was found. By the time the general finally accepted that only the dead elves were left behind and the rest had escaped, he marched out the cave\'s entrance with his eyes bloodshot in rage.
"Did you find the demons?!" As soon as he got out, the lone necromancer was standing in front of him.
Towering over his body, the general shot an empty gaze at the cloaked young man. Glazing about, he couldn\'t find the other three, but as he turned to look back at the necromancer, he no longer cared for any of it at all.
"You…You liar!" Having convinced himself that the elves were all killed by the mercenaries and that there were no demons inside the village, the general assumed the lone survivor of the whole incident was the rumor-spreading brat.
"Wh-What?" He asked as a trail of sweat trickled down his cheeks.
Slowly moving away from the general, he kept his eyes locked with him in case he tried anything, but even as he did, the greedy young man wasn\'t fast enough to evade a swing from the general\'s giant hammer.
"Waste of time…" Chalking it all to be a rumor to either spite the elves or falsify evidence to claim the price on Moriyana\'s and Margarette\'s heads, the general led his army back into his homeland.

"That was close…" Moriyana whispered.
Almost fainting from using too much mana to hypnotize all the elves at once, Moriyana was standing in the minotaur dungeon along with her group and the surviving elves.
"I\'m never using that spell again," slowly succumbing to exhaustion, she got down to her knees before sitting on the ground.
"What are we going to do with the elves though?" Athena questioned, her eyes gazing at the hundreds of elves lined up inside the natural dungeon structure.
"For starters…We don\'t have to worry about them turning on us anymore," Margarette replied, not happy with the outcome herself.
"If you people are done, can I return to my family now?" Tired of the chaos, Rose wanted to flee back to her children.
"Not yet, we should explain the situation to the goblin and Arachne queen living in this dungeon first or they might end up attacking the elves," pointing that out, Margarette turned towards the direction leading deeper into the dungeon. "Also, they can probably use the help of elves to make this place more habitable."
After discussing the plan for a while longer, they decided to hand the elves over to the queens, and only take a few back with them as Rose teleports them to their master. However, as they were reunited with the queen, what they saw left them baffled. Not only were their offsprings stronger, but some of them have even evolved to look like humans just like their mothers.
"Can you please take them with you? Please? I want them to receive master\'s seed and get pregnant so that we can expand our tribe with strong offspring from our master!" Grabbing Moriyana\'s arms and knees, the goblin queen was quite literally begging her to take her daughters to become a plaything for her master.
"I…Uh," feeling awkward, Moriyana scratched the side of her chin before coming out with the truth. "I don\'t think you know this, but Master can\'t make women pregnant since he\'s an incubus."
Finally being told the truth, the news hit the queen like a ton of bricks. But even then, her eyes shimmering with determination wanted her daughters to serve the man who she felt would soon become a demon lord. Unfortunately, however, Moriyana could only promise to ask Haruki about the proposition since goblins couldn\'t really blend in human cities like succubi.
