Chapter 146: Plans For The Marsh
After the pleasant night, Alros prepared his forcees for another hunting session, this time, with adventurers as targets.
With the other 4 tribes not founded yet, and he still did not find any traces of the treemen, he had to settle with gaining some SP, and maybe more women to farm LP.
While doing so will ensure the Kingdom realizing something wrong, it is a risk he had to take. In fact, he was banking on it.
But creating a death spot, an area where adventurers died in masses, it will likely make the Adventure Guild send even stronger adventurers, maybe even sending B-rank adventurers.
While it will be a difficult fight, with human being smarter and more unpredictable than monsters, it will be worth it, as male would give him tons of SP, while the female would give him even more LP.
Considering D-rank women gave him twice the LP of E-rank, while C-rank is five times more than D-ranks, it safe to assume it will be more, or at least, 5 times the number of LP he get from C-rank women.
Which mean he will get 25 000 LP from virgin, and 5000 LP from the one that had already lost their virginity.
"Let's hope the death toll will attract B-ranks instead of A-rank," Alros muttered, before giving orders to his clones for the change of plan.
Of course, he will also send some of his clones to scour the swamp and act as hunting party, seeking adventurers instead of passively waiting in one spot, though he need to prepare the plans for that first.

"Everything set and 2 more outpost just find their corresponding Lizardmen Tribes," Alros said to himself.
He already iron the plan, to make it as efficient as possible. The plan is to create 5 squads, each squad having 5 clones in it, along with some other monsters, preferably flying one, to accompany them.
Two of the squads will create the death spot. Using the words he heard from one of his old gaming friends, they will 'camp' in the area, killing and capturing the adventurers that passed through it, letting none escape.
The other 3 will roamed around the Marsh of Torim, finding and hunting adventurer's party. Though, only one will do it every day, while the other two will hunt only once a week, to not make the Adventurer Guild and the higher-ups of Telerim City too suspicious by the increasing number of deaths.
While his clones dealing with that, he will attack the other two tribes. With the addition of Raptor and his tribes of now turned Demonic Lizardmen, as long as the numbers are not too high, victory is certain.
Though he will have to scout first, to prepare his simultaneous assaults on the two tribes.

"I love when plans coming together," Alros exclaimed, watching as his force ripped through the tribe of Lizardmen. With some of the goblins along with all the Lizardmen attacking the other tribes, he was left with some goblins along with his bugs.
While it would make it somewhat harder, it is not difficult at all. After all, his bugs is one of his most versatile asset, and while most have trouble with the Lizardmen's hard scales, binding them and weakening them is much easier.
He watched as the Lizardmen tried to shake of the webs that hit them, slowly zapping them of their energy as they show more sign of lethargy, the Draining Web Spiders attacking them from the trees, with Flame Ants and Giant Earth Spider protecting their rear, ensuring that no of the Lizardmen that attempt to climb the trees to attack the spiders succeeded.
One of the Alpha Lizardmen of the tribe, one of the two, are busy battling against his Super Bug, a huge rhino beetle that is pushing the other side with it's strength. One side try to claw at the other, their claws barely making any damage aside from scratches, while the other side try to shove the other, forcing them to fall, with limited success.
The other Alpha Lizardman are busy being overwhelmed by two huge Super Bugs, a scorpion and centipede duo. The scorpion is holding the huge Lizardman with it's pincer, while the centipede is smacking it's back, it's poison unable to pierce the larger creature's back but it did cause them to lose concentration, making them more vulnerable to the front attacker.
"I should join them as well," the incubus said, stretching his arms as jumped into the battlefield, targeting the chief of the tribe. He easily find it, one of the palest lizards he had ever seen.
He slammed into the creature, who tried to claw him but was intercepted by his owns.
"Come on now, lets dance!" Alros said maniacally, his red eyes gleaming as the two monster square off.
5 minutes later, the Lizardman lowered its head, obeying it's new master as the rest did the same, defeated by the bug force of Alros.

"Looks like they are doing well," Alros whistled, watching as his two named monsters, the leader of each of their races, barking, well, growling orders.
The tribe the two are attacking are larger than the two previous one, with the number of Lizardmen are around 300 while the Alpha Lizardmen in the group, numbered around 5.
Yet, despite it all, the 2 were able to slowly whittle down the tribe. They attacked from two sides, one with goblins while the other with the Lizardmen. The tribe assumed the Lizardmen are the more dangerous foes and have most of their members against the side, while sending a smaller force, with only one lone Alpha into the other side.
While it would be the most logical option in normal scenario, unfortunately for them, this is nothing like normal scenario.
The goblin side soon overwhelmed the Lizardmen's paltry defense force, the Alpha finding itself being surrounded and overwhelmed by a large number of Demonic Hobgoblins.
The other side is no better. While the 200 Lizardmen, at least, along with 4 Alpha would usually defeat the much smaller Lizardmen, they are up against Demonic Lizardmen.
The Demonic Lizardmen could solo two of regular Lizardmen at once, holding their own while beating the two is possible, if not slightly more difficult. Along with some auxiliary in the form of Draining Web Spiders, Energy Draining Mosquitoes, and Mana Draining Leeches, the Lizardmen soon find themselves overwhelmed, before being captured and remove from the battlefield.
In fact, the reason the battle took so long is because the other side did not go all out, and mostly subdue the other side. If not, the battle would have ended a long time ago.
