Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 1396 Eren's Monster Army P2

?

Baran's ascent within Eren's monster army had been remarkable.

From his humble beginnings as a tribe chieftain, he had risen to become the general of Eren's entire monster force stationed outside the Oni Dungeon. Under his guidance, Baran's own tribe had flourished, expanding rapidly after merging with Kilaba's tribe and relocating to the Monster Canyon.

With his strategic vision and prowess, Baran continued to conquer and assimilate various tribes within the treacherous Badlands. His tribe assimilation plan proved highly effective, yielding a significant number of loyal orcs who joined Eren's growing army. These orcs were raised and nurtured within the secluded confines of the Badlands, away from the prying eyes.

Baran's transformation extended beyond his role as a monster leader; he had also evolved as a devoted family man. In the Orcina named Resha, he found not only a life partner but also a trusted comrade who shared in his responsibilities related to the tribe. Together, they raised a family of orc children. Baran's partner was carefully chosen by Eren to play crucial roles in the monster army as well. However, it seemed that the butcher's plan had worked too well and Baran ended up becoming a family man.

A milestone in character development.

Gone were the days of seeking pleasure with multiple Orcinas, as Baran now dedicated all his attention to expanding the might and influence of Eren's monster army within the heart of the Monster Canyon. Resha, his beloved wife, proved to be an invaluable asset in this endeavor. As they worked side by side, they witnessed the rise of the monsters within the land of Anfang, a vision Resha had longed to see during her time with Kilaba in the past.

The Monster Canyon became a symbol of growth and strength for Eren's monster subordinates, a testament to Baran's leadership and his unwavering dedication to Eren. His tribe, once small and insignificant, now stood as a formidable force under the banner of Eren's monster army.

As the monsters expanded their influence during the course of the last decade, they encountered countless challenges and adversaries. Yet, under Baran's guidance, they emerged victorious time and again. His strategic brilliance, combined with the fierce loyalty of his orc brethren, ensured that the Monster Canyon became a sanctuary of power and unity.

The bond between Baran and the forces of Oni Dungeon strengthened as they fought side by side, facing the perils of the Badlands and Rankers of Anfang together. Baran's unwavering loyalty to Eren's vision and the monster army's cause earned him respect not only from his fellow monsters but also from the monsters hailing from the Oni Dungeon.

Through strategic resource management and the use of the guild's facilities, Eren had provided his monster subordinates with unique advantages.

For instance, Eren's monster subordinates had access to a specialized healing potion—Ice Fairy's Kiss adapted to work on monsters—which provided temporary freezing to mend critical injuries.

These resources also allowed Eren's monsters to participate covertly in the ongoing war between the kingdoms while mitigating the losses and supporting their personal growth.

In addition to these formidable allies from the Oni Dungeon, Eren had a force of 24 Orcinas under his command, each leading their own monster squads.

These Orcinas operated independently, providing unwavering support to Eren's monster army in every mission they were assigned. Working closely with Baran and Ror, these 24 Orcinas ensured seamless coordination within the monster ranks.

Eren's monster subordinates were not confined to the Badlands between the two kingdoms alone; they extended their reach to support the Amazonians in their fight against the Asikha Empire. The symbiotic relationship between Eren's monster army and the Amazonians proved highly beneficial, leading to the demise of numerous powerful Rankers from the Edinburgh, Layos, and Asikha Empire's factions.I think you should take a look at

The alliance between Eren and the Amazonians provided a wealth of resources and invaluable cooperation during battles. Together, they formed a formidable force, capable of challenging and slaying high-ranking adversaries from the warring kingdoms.

This alliance was a testament to Eren's remarkable ability to build bridges between different factions and species, uniting them under a common cause. Through strategic alliances and resourceful planning, Eren had crafted a powerful and diverse force that extended its influence far beyond the Badlands.

The clash between the two formidable A-Ranked entities, Ror and the human Ranker, came to a swift and decisive end. Ror's overwhelming power, enhanced by the special resources provided by Eren, proved to be more than enough to subdue his opponent.

Fiona couldn't help but be awestruck by the might displayed by Eren's subordinates.

As Fiona gazed upon the scene, a mixture of awe and intrigue swept over her. Her mind couldn't help but swirl with thoughts about the enigmatic monster army and the extent of its true capabilities.

She had spent a decade working alongside Eren, witnessing only glimpses of his remarkable abilities and formidable force. But only now did she realize that he had formidable A-Ranked monster entities at his command. However, Fiona also suspected that what she had seen was merely the surface of a much deeper and hidden strength.

The thought of the countless mysteries shrouding Eren and his monster subordinates tempted Fiona to pry further into his affairs. Yet, she knew better than to tread into the labyrinth of secrets he guarded so closely. Fiona had seen enough to recognize that Eren was a master of keeping his cards close to his chest, revealing only what he deemed necessary.

With a determined shake of her head, Fiona chose to respect Eren's boundaries and focused on her own responsibilities. The Last Blood Bastian had entrusted her and her team with important tasks, and she had a duty to fulfill.

With a nod, Fiona expressed her gratitude for being included in the mission to subjugate Kev. She realized that Eren's involvement had been instrumental in the success of their mission. However, before she could bid him farewell, Eren surprised her by pulling her into an embrace. His lips were close to her ear as he whispered cryptic words that left Fiona blushing and flustered.

Curiosity and confusion hung in the air among the onlookers, unsure of what transpired between Eren and Fiona. Their hushed conversation and supposedly sweet nothings piqued the interest of those present, but the true nature of their exchange remained a mystery.
