Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 179: Destruction of the Lizardmen



Chapter 179: Destruction of the Lizardmen

While everyone was curious about what kind of experiment Tamazuki wanted to try, no one tried to press him since his target was the orcs.

All of them had labeled the orcs as their enemies. Even if he killed all of them, they wouldn't say anything.

Nevertheless, since they had accepted Treyni's request, they needed to do their preparation for the battle.

The first was, without a doubt, to make an alliance with the group of Lizardmen.

The target of the orcs was the lizardman, who was living in the wetland. It could be said that they were the king of the wetland, and because of this, they were targeted by the orc since by eating them, the orcs would gain the ability to fight on the wetland.

By then, 200,000 orcs would become an unstoppable army ravaged throughout the country.

When that happens, it might be hard for their village and also the group of Dryads to live in this forest anymore.

Still, while Rimuru knew how dangerous this situation was, he also thought that it was a chance for him to become stronger as his skill might evolve.

Because of this, the alliance was necessary, but Rimuru didn't want to ally himself with Gabil as this guy was stupid and quite arrogant, so by sending Souei, he hoped they could treat each other equally.

Still, with the matter of lizardman being solved by Souei, the others prepared many of the logistics from positions, armor, and weapons.

Everyone was busy, including Tamazuki, since he also thought of creating a weapon for Shion and Hakurou.

As for Benimaru and Souei, it was better to leave those things to Kurobee.

Hakurou aside as Tamazuki gave his previous weapon to him.

"Thank you, Tamazuki-sama."

Hakurou was on the verge of tears when he received a weapon from Tamazuki.

"It's okay. It's just my old weapon. It will be wasteful if I don't use it."

Tamazuki's old weapon might not be as good as the one that he used currently, but even so, it was still Unique Equipment, which was several times better than the one owned by Hakurou.

"No, this is a good weapon. I will treasure it well."

This weapon would probably become Hakurou's heirloom.

Still, because of this, everyone looked at Hakurou enviously.

I want to! I want to!

Those words were clearly written on their faces.

"Well, Hakurou aside, Shion, I also made you a weapon."

"Really? Is that true, Tamazuki-sama?" Shion's eyes were shining in excitement.

"It's a bit big, but I am sure that you can use it well."

Then, he took out the weapon that he had crafted for a day from his [Stomach].

"The name is Tessaiga (Iron-Crushing Fang). Use it well."

"....."

Everyone was at a loss for words when they saw this weapon.

It was massive.

No, it was humongous!

The shape of this sword was like an oversized dog's fang, fitting for its name. The cross guard turned into a large patch of fur similar to a dog's also.

It was a weapon solely made for destruction, and as expected, it was also a Legendary Weapon.

Frankly, with his "Strength Manipulation," this weapon was perfect for him, but instead of an all-powerful strength, he was more into technical and speed, so he decided to give this sword to Shion as he knew this sword would be perfect for him.

"Tamazuki-sama's first reward for me..."

Shion's breathing was heavy as she stared at this weapon full of excitement. Unlike Hakurou, she was already crying as she thought this was something made by her vowed master, Tamazuki.

"Use it well to protect everyone."

"Yes!"

Shion received her sword and rubbed the fur part with her cheek as she smiled, wondering whether it was Tamazuki's fur.

"...." Tamazuki.

Still, she wanted to test this weapon, so she raised her hand high as she used his "Strength Manipulation."

Suddenly, the air grew heavy, and the pressure grew so immense that it was so hard for them to breathe.

The building also started to create a strange sound, as if it was about to be destroyed by the pressure alone.

"Stop! Stop! Shion, stop! Don't destroy the smithy!"

Everyone was in a panic, but without a doubt, everyone was confident in this battle.

The only problem was...

Everyone was staring at him with a longing expression.

Tamazuki stared at Shizu and Shuna, who just stared at him in silence. He rubbed their heads tenderly. "I will make something for you two in the future."

"Yay~!" 2x

Only Shion also moved her head closer as if anticipating something.

"...."

Was this silly girl wishing to be patted when she almost destroyed the smithy?

"Hehehe..." Shion laughed with a silly smile as she was patted.

Well, the battle was about to begin, so instead of fighting, it was better for everyone to have a good relationship, right?

Frankly, while he didn't mind making weapons for all of them, the time was limited as they had only seven days of preparation before they entered the battle.

On those seven days, the Lizardmen needed to protect themselves until they came. While some doubted at first, the king of the Lizardmen quickly realized how powerful they were after he saw Souei.

Souei entered their place and defeated everyone with ease.

Watching all of this, the king knew that this alliance was something that they needed the most.

Even if the Lizardmen were powerful, facing 200,000 orcs along with the Orc Lord wasn't something that was easy to do, or rather, if they always put their pride in front, he was afraid that they would be destroyed and eaten, especially when he found out the real purpose of the orcs to fight them.

Eat them and gain their skill.

Knowing that, how could he let his subordinates be eaten?

Fortunately, they were fighting at their home ground inside the caves.

The caves had complicated geography, and they had the upper hand in this battle as it was also a wetland, so they did a hit-and-run tactic, fighting in a group, and quickly evacuated those who were hurt.

The king was wise, and he also knew that he couldn't make a single mistake or even let those orcs eat one of them. What he needed to do now was to hold on. As long as seven days have passed, everything will be okay. This was his belief, but his son ruined everything.

"I can no longer accept this humiliation! How can we, the proud Lizardmen, fight and hide inside these caves against those dirty pigs? Also, relying on others? How low have you fallen, Father? We have 10,000 thousand Lizardmen with us, along with ten thousand goblins! Our army is invincible! No one can defeat us!"

"Gabil, do you know what you are doing?!" The king of the lizard man looked at his son with anger.

Gabil, the lizardman that had visited Tamzuki and Rimuru's village, took the legendary weapon of the Lizardman's Water Vortex Spear. "Father, I can't trust you to lead the lizardmen anymore! This time, I will lead everyone! I will bring the victory to us!" He raised the spear high and vowed to bring victory to everyone.

"Gabil-sama! Gabil-sama! Gabil-sama!"

Everyone was excited and also followed Gabil.

Then, the king of the lizardmen, along with all of his followers, was put in jail.

Gabil knew that he had to focus on this battle and bring glory. He was confident in this battle, and there was no way that he would lose.

However, he made a single mistake.

Gabil still didn't know the terror of those orcs.
