Chapter 191: Battle In The Cave

"Are all the preparation ready?" Alros asked, looking at his assortment of monsters.

The leader of each group nodded. A smirk formed in his face before it turn into a complicated look, his eyes stopping at the opened portal.

He would have brought out the Arachne and spider swarm if not for the fact he fear they will kill the snakes, even the one he subdued.

That is the only reason he did not summon them to this battle, as they would not obey his order in favour of killing the Lamia.

Willing the portal to close, Alros began to make his move.

Hunting parties of Lamia were sent each night, to capture as many monsters as possible, to feed all of them. Thankfully, the Lamia is similar to their serpentine counterpart in them at they don't need to eat much.

Unfortunately, that still comparable to a human. They still need to eat at least half their body mass, in a month.

Considering how long some Lamia could be, food is needed all day as during their digesting period, they would not be able to move as fast, becoming more lethargic and passive in the process.

So, Lamia often send hunting party to catch any monsters in their territory. If they aren't any, they will go further from their territory in hope of finding a meal.

This behaviour is exploited by Alros, as he had stationed several group of monsters to target the hunting party. With Demonic Goblins and Demonic Lizardmen taking the field, the Lamia would stand no chance.

A Lamia slither on the ground, looking around for any trouble. It tried to find the track it followed, one belonging to a human. Wondering if it should give up, the Lamia turn back only to get struck by a web.

Turning around, it expected it's old foe, Giant Cave Spider but to her surprise, it is a spider, but not the kind it ever met before.

Realizing the danger it could be in, the monster tried to flee but find itself entangling inside the web. Soon, several monsters surround the Lamia before she was bound and drag away.

"It seem the operation is a resounding success," Alros exclaimed. All of his group had returned with Lamia and snake monsters.

With all the hunting group taken down, they could now move on the next target. The patrollers.

-x-

A lone snake remained hidden in a hole. Occasionally, it will peak out it's head before coming back in.

As one of the few snakes with ability to scream, or at least hiss loudly, he is one of the important aspect of the Lamia Cave defense.

However, while the snake capable of detecting heat source, the attacker is not made out of warm-blooded creature.

A Giant Earth Wasp attacked the snake, overwhelming the scaly creature. While it could handle a wasp, a large one that almost double it size is too much for it.

The snake in question immediately brought down before being subdued by Alros. Similarly, the other 4 Watcher Serpent had been taken down.

"Time for third phase," Alros said as he looked at the coming patrols. He had split the patrols into two phase, one of the Watcher Serpent as he called them with the later being capturing and subduing the other patrol units between the Watcher Serpent and the main nest.

Once again, the entire operation depend on the speed of his monsters and their capabilities to take down the Lamia and snake monsters.

Failure or even delay would result in the main nest being warned and them losing whatever advantage they have so far.

That is the reason why he send his best monsters; his Sole Greater Demonic Goblin and the Demonic Lizardmen Chieftain as the leader.

With their strength being at the B-ranks, they are able to handle the patrol with ease. Combine with some of his spider monsters suppressing and binding them with their silk threads, the enemy is greatly weakened.

In minutes, he received reports from all of the group that they manage to suppress and capture all the patrol group.

A smile formed on his face as Alros could imagine the surprised Lamia's reaction

-x-

In the main nest of the Lamia, things have been going well, with Lamia and other snake monsters slithering around.

However, such peaceful scene did not last long as a powerful explosions occur at every entrance, before monsters the Lamia have never seen before poured in.

Those nearest to the entrance find themselves knocked or dazed, unable to react to what is to come. It is the same monsters that were captured immediately and transfered elsewhere.

The explosion caused chaos in the nest as Lamia slithered in panic, causing the entire nest to devolve into a slithering stampede.

The panic quelled when the Greater Lamia appeared and hissed, calming the rest of terrified monsters down. They would have been able to regroup and do a counterattack if not for the fact the attacking monsters have several smart and powerful monsters.

Goblins and Lizardman with terrifying marking and colouring leapt towards the Greater Lamia, fighting the monsters and causing the once tense but somewhat calm atmosphere to chaos once more.

It seem all is lost for the Lamia, monsters capturing the Lamia and snake monsters, when a large figure emerged from the largest cave.

The Lamia, the largest in the cave looked at the attacker and swipe at them, sending energy slash towards the attacker.

Before the attack could hit them, a figure emerged and stop the attack, much to the surprise of the Lamia Matriarch.

Her gaze feel on the figure, only for it's eyes to widen at the sight of demonic wings and horns.

The figure stared at the Lamia Matriarch before flying towards her and clashing with her. With all their leaders occupied, the Lamia barely able to form a defense before it was torn down by Alros' monsters.

Soon, Lamia feel to the ground, along with the snake monsters. As time pass by, the Greater Lamia soon followed, looking like it's energy drained.

When there is no more Lamia around, the remaining monsters stare at their leader and the Matriarch, both duking out.

However, it is apparent the Matriarch did not stand a chance as she was clearly tired. A hand manage to grab her neck, choking her.

She tried to free herself, her tail swinging around in hope of hitting him, but Alros is prepared. He merely flew, high enough the tail could not gain any surface to launch itself.

Seeing the Matriarch in his mercy, he asked,

"Surrender and become my servant, or die," the Matriarch did not take long to decide, as she, with a hand on her throat, bow towards the demon, signalling her surrender.

And with that, Alros manage to get another monsters he wanted under his command.
