LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 250: Goblins and Orcs Hunting
With their surrounding secure, Alros decided he is ready for the next part of his plan to conquer and destroy Astor Kingdom; monster capturing.
While wild animals can be turned into demonic beast with the necessary ingredients and equipments, they are much worse than monsters. So, he plan on increasing the number of his monsters. Continue your saga on m|v-l'e m,p| y- r
The targets are two common monsters; Goblins and Orcs. If there are Lizardmen in the area, he would also grab them as they are decently strong monsters.
While his witches focused on building the base, he would focus on hunting the monsters. With a lot of B-rank monsters in his disposal, along with C-rank monsters, doing so will be an ease.

To hunt them down effectively, Alros divide his force into 5, with each forces having at least 3 B-rank monsters along with their subordinates. Almost all of his monsters are part of the hunt, with the exception being the Treemen, Treants, Dryad, Golem, and Wood Termites, as the former four are too slow, while the last one is helping in building the base.
He already flew above the treeline, to see if there are any humans in the surrounding. After making sure there are no human, Alros went with the plans, sending his monsters to hunt down other monsters.

Lamia and Arachne each have their own group. Considering the number of their B-ranks, it is no surprise for Alros to decide so.
They both head east and west respectively. As they travel, they often spot many monsters, most captured and subdued, though they could not subjugate it without their master.
Soon, they find their target.

"A Goblin Encampment," Lamia Queen hissed, her eyes on the camp. From the look of it, it is large, maybe housing up to few hundreds Goblins.
She could also see several types of Goblins, from regular one, to Hobgoblins, to even Goblin Shaman.
"Master would be delighted to have more spell casters," she hissed before looking at the camp, trying to come up with a plan. This is something Alros had thought her, to turn her from a powerful monster, to a smart and powerful monster.
The fact he used Intelligent Attribute Stone also helped her a lot. She soon find the best strategy to deal with the monster camp.
Her Lamia, which are C-ranks and above encircle the encampment before the stronger one dashed towards the camp. Realizing they are under attack, the Goblin sounded the horn as the Goblins took arm to combat her Lamia.
Very soon, they find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer might of the Lamia as the average Goblin's strength are of D-ranks while Lamia is C-rank. This resulted in the Lamia steamroller the Goblins with ease.
Only the presence of the Hobgoblins and Goblin Shamans allow a draw to be possible. However, that changed when the Greater Lamia join the field. As B-rank monsters, they defeat the C-ranks without breaking a sweat.
Soon, the entire Goblin Encampment was subdued as they find themselves bound by the Lamia, preventing them from fleeing.

Arachne are much faster than Lamia due to their body composition. This is the reason why they are sent west, where it is relatively closer to the Astor Kingdom.
Their speed allow them to blitz through the forest with ease, finding and capturing monsters, the later made easier due to their ability to produce silk threads, allowing the capture to be smoother.
Soon, they find their own Goblin Encampment. Surrounding the camp, the Arachne possessed greater advantage as their numbers actually surpassed the number of Goblins.
The Cave Spiders used their numerical superiority and quickly rush towards the monsters, resulting in surprised and terrified shriek. The Goblins tried to fight back but the Spiders are too many, quickly overwhelming the Goblins.
As more dragged into the forest after they are paralyzed, the Hobgoblins and Goblin Shaman jumped into battle. The latter tried to burn the Spiders, casting Fireball.
Large orb of fire descended towards the eight-legged monsters, who remain calm. The reason for their peculiar action become apparent as an Arachne blocked the attack. Seeing the female monsters, the remaining Goblins licked their lips lavaciously, attracted by the upper part.
This act did not go unseen by the monsters who shriek in rage as all Arachne jumped towards the remaining Goblins, their might unleashed. Soon, the rest were captured, though some were rough up by the Arachne.

The Lizardmen, being the monsters with the largest population aside from the bugs, traversed the south, often splitting up to cover more ground. Having used to forest, albeit swampy ones, they were able to male good time, easily passing the numerous trees.
As they could use tools to certain degrees, they used simple slings and threw makeshift bolas, entangling wild animals and capturing them easily, before sending them to the base.
As they traverse the forest, they soon spot an important target, namely an Orc Camp. As fellow C-rank monsters, normally a fight between the two monsters will result in draw, with the advantage belong to mostly Lizardmen.
As there are no regular Lizardmen, only Demonic Lizardmen, the odds are even more skewed for the Lizardmen, who all receive powerful upgrades.

The Orcs were just done with attacking a small Goblin Encampment for food. Normally, they would have targeted human villages but lately, there are larger group of armed humans near said village, making the risk not worth it.
As they take a look of their spoils, one of their own find their arms wrapped by ropes before being dragged away. The Orcs turned towards the attacker and find themselves freezing in terror.
They knew of the Lizardmen, having fought some for territories and resources. However, they have never seen such Lizardmen before. Their red eyes cause them to feel terror as their black and red skin radiate danger.
With their minds being frozen in fear for a brief moment, they quickly find themselves being bound and pushed to the ground.
Seeing this, the leader of the camp, an Orc Warchief bellowed, calling the Orcs to battle. With them calming down, they turned towards the Lizardmen, ready for an epic battle.
-x-
"You did a good job Raptor," Alros clapped, congratulating the leader of his Lizardmen detachment. They were the one who caught the most Orcs, apart from him.
The rest caught some Orcs as well but not as much as they did. The Orc Warchief snorted but a claw on its neck caused it gulp in terror.
"Don't do that," the demon said, "We need to make sure the new members are welcomed," the smile on his face send terror down the spine of wild animals, Goblins, and Orcs, captured by his force.
