Chapter 68 68. Logan’s Legion: Demon Army And The Traps.
"Finally, I am back!" Logan released a heavy sigh as he entered the mansion. After multiple hours of hard work, he was finally ready to face the Demon hunter head-on.
Logan spent two days setting traps around the village and the settlements, he also took small meetings with all of his subordinates to organize his entire army and set up traps all across the village.
Currently, Logan, in his demon form, slightly pale white skin, jet black hair paired with two horns, deep blue eyes, and two bat-like wings on his back, was working on the army divisions and weapons.
After his insane "fuck" rally in the church of the goddess of chastity, every villager was turned into a demon under his power of [Corruption]. This army that he created varied between the first circles and second circles.
It was an army numbered in thousands; however, these numbers could not be compared with a quality demon hunter and the mercenaries. After all, these villagers had little to no combat experience.
Even the weapons these demons had were their fangs and claws.
Ironically, this was Logan's "legion".
This army was the product of the pure power of [Corruption]. Precisely, [Corruption] brought the deepest and the darkest desire of any being on the surface by corrupting the very root of a person and turning him/her into a demon.
The advantage of Logan's [Corruption], as a progenitor was that it boosted the overall power under his rule.
Those with no power at all gained something they desired while those who were already awakened received a major power boost to their strength.
In his army, he had five strong demons who were positioned as leaders. Those who were capable of handling a mid-third circle to a peak-third circle being.
Lara, Lisa, Anna, Blood Knight, and Ilisha.
These five were the beings with whom Logan had invested most of his resources bought from the system.
First was Lara. The milf and receptionist of the adventurer's guild of the Selva village; had control over several mages and a few swordsmen under her banner.
Since her duty was the most important of all in this counter-expedition, she had the most power under her banner after Logan himself.
The second was Lisa. A student of the most prestigious academy of the Fluger Kingdom, the Royal Academy. Previously, she was accompanied by her brother and her "master" Jin for the Demon Hunting Assignment. However, this arrogant and prideful healer from Jin's party encountered Logan and was kidnapped by him, and in the end, was trapped. After her demonification, she had been giving her best to gain Logan's attention. She had control over melee fighters and range attackers in Logan's army.
The third was Anna. The beautiful pink-haired girl who was another victim of Logan's trap did not suffer like Lisa. Previously, Anna preferred to keep her mouth shut and work, however, after her demonification, she turned more talkative and expressive and was showered love by her master, Logan. She had small troops of villagers who could at least lift weapons and fight with their claws under her order.
The fourth was the Blood Knight. The mayor Rasbold of the Selva village was cucked and in a feat of rage lost all of his rationality. He was turned into "Blood Knight" by Logan and was now made a leader. However, he had no one under his command since he was a terrifying brute himself, he did not need anyone under him.
The fifth was Ilisha. The cat woman who worked under mayor Rasbold was unable to defeat Logan and was captured. Later she was also turned into a demoness and had a peculiar character for which Logan had kept her under his direct command instead of making her a leader.
As for the students from the Royal Academy who were turned into demons, they were slightly more useful than the villagers in this battle and Logan had his plans for them as well.
As battles and wars were not his expertise, he used [God of War] to its fullest and these arrangements were all he could come up with.
Although practically this army seemed useless, Logan was pretty much satisfied with it.
"As long as they are fulfilling my purpose and use their fangs and claws to fight till death, I am fine with it." Logan knew that he was at a great disadvantage, but sometimes even ants can defeat the triumphant elephant.
But he also knew that his challenge was not easy.
Not only was his opponents ranked demon hunter and mercenaries with third circles, but his battle prowess also could not be compared with theirs.
...
Logan's main objective was to win this battle by hook or crook.
According to him-
A mercenary group hired for a demon hunter's safety must be at least third circles if not the fourth ones. This mercenary group must also be consisting of at least six to ten people; this was his main concern.
Six to ten third circle beings? Forget winning, Logan will have to run for his life!
Sigh.
This was a battle between quality and quantity.
On one side was a ranked demon hunter and a mercenary group with a battle power capable of crushing two demon viscounts with multiple demon barons singlehandedly.
On the other hand, Logan's army of around a thousand or so low-level to high-level demons. Aside from him and the five demons under him, no one in his army could put up a challenge against the demon hunter and his mercenary group.
If not for the Sin of [Envy] and the freebies he had received from the system, Logan highly doubted that he could win this battle.
Hence he planned and put multiple traps around the village.
...
Logan's Plan was simple.
"Divide and crush!"
The Village Selva had two paths to enter since there were no walls surrounding it.
The West route was used by traders and merchants to enter the village.
While the East route was toward the dungeon that was now owned by Logan.
Other than that the north and south were under the protection of a dense forest, a river, and mountains.
Although he cannot plan the demon hunter's every step, he could manipulate it to some extent.
"The plan is simple, yet effective." He nodded in satisfaction and called for his army.
'If the hunter and the mercenary group enter the Selva together, we will have no choice but to flee.' After all, who in their right mind can fight more than five "experienced" third-circle beings without the power to put fight against them? No one.
As he worked his ass for two days and created traps to avoid the united power of the hunter and his mercenary group, Logan finally felt at peace when he was done.
"From today, our enemy will arrive anytime. So my next orders are as follows." Logan said while adjusting himself on his couch.
All of his subordinates, Lara, Lisa, Anna, Ilisha, and the blood knight, along with the students heard his voice with their backs straight.
"Anna, you, the Blood knight, and Lara, will reach the points on this map with each of your respective armies and will hide in the northern forest. As my traps will divide them and send them in your directions and kill them immediately." He said while pointing at the map he made two days ago.
"Lisa, you, along with Ilisha, and the remaining students have to hide on these marks inside the southern forest, as the remaining mercenaries will arrive there." As long as Logan can divide these grouped mercenaries with the traps and demons he had put forth before, he could win this battle!
"You all, fighting against these mercenaries won't be easy. Use any and everything to win, may it be a petty technique or brute force, but your goal must remain only one and that is to kill the enemy." His voice echoed inside the Mayor's mansion.
"I will break their formations and will not let them regroup. Use the villagers to lure them into the forest once I signal you. And do not give any second chance to your enemy. And the head of the demon hunter belongs to me!"
He did not tell his complete plan even though all of those demons were created by him, because there was no need to.
Logan was a devious person.
He was not going to fight the hunter and the mercenaries head-on unless he was out of his mind.
"..."
Logan gave some more instructions before he concluded the meeting.
"Stay on guard. If that person is a demon hunter, he must've already reached the borders of the village." Everyone nodded and left.
"Lara." However, just before she could leave, Logan called for Lara.
"Yes, Milord?" She asked while tilting her head.
"There was something I am curious about, do you mind answering?" Logan asked while he patted his lap.
Lara sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around him immediately while a seductive smile blossomed on her face.
"Milord~ I will answer anything you ask... However~" While she played her slender finger on his chest, Logan sniffed her hair that smelled similar to jasmine, while his hand gently entered under her training suit.
"You will get paid dearly, but answer me first." He pressed her soft breast that was hiding under her bra and tried to claim some warmth from her body while pulling down her zip a little more.
Her perky nipples nibbled on his palm as they tried to break free from the cruel bra that kept them bound.
"Mhn~." Just as his hands reached inside her bra and she was about to moan, Logan stopped.
"..." Logan whispered something in her ear and Lara's eyes widened. She never told Logan about her experiment as it wasn't completely ready to use.
"H-how-?" Before she could say anything further her lips were sealed by Logan's.
"Shh... We have a long session of interrogation waiting ahead." He slightly pinched her nipple, making the latter nod like a chicken.
"I saw what you did a few days ago... And I have something that will help you with what you are doing." He said while kissing her slender neck.
He wasn't a lustful demon for nothing.
That night Lara was "thoroughly" interrogated by Logan.
