Episode 3
(Ps: Apparently the author considered the first two prologues as two chapters so this chapter becomes the third chapter)
(Ps: if you are new on this site please take note that most of the work was done from phone so it may take longer for me to update the ToC since our web organizer went missing. But the search function is working well. And my translation on this site is MTL or machine translation. To minimize the error I use dedication… instead of translating the whole chapter, I break it down into sentence per sentence and word per words. Well, mistakes sometimes may still occur, so feel free to point out my mistakes. )
(ps: and this site donation is not a must, at first I only take donation for my own original works and recently adding donation for translation but it was only because of life circumstances however even if you don't donate, nothing will change. Regular chapter is still there and I believe I still poured the same amount of love to this site.)
(ps: as per you who confused why I take extra series while I still have series on hand it is because I add more time to translate not reducing it. So please understand. And the series that I translate have a charm in it, like this one and sleep learning. I just want to share that there are still interesting stories out there.)
Well, there goes my rant so let's proceed with the chapter…
The progress escalated quickly.
Airia called together her frightened maids and issued a command.
"Please relay this message. Everyone should stop fighting. We will surrender to the demon lord army."
Since she has done that, I will also need to tell my men.
"I'll just howl a little. Don't be afraid, it's just to inform my men."
The maid who is going to leave then turn her attention to me. I walked towards the window and let out a howl.
"Awooo! Ooo! Ooo!"
It caused the window glass to trembles and some to break. The maid screamed "Ah!"
I didn't mean to scare her or caused this but with this, my instruction should be transmitted throughout the city.
"We have accomplished our mission."
Immediately here and there, many werewolves howled back to me.
"Stop fighting."
"Regroup."
"We have taken over the city."
I can hear with my ear that the town grown quiet. The battle that occurred here and there is finally over.
I didn't want this but it couldn't be helped.
The werewolves are gathered in the city square together with the count.
My men appearance is very intimidating. Tough looking werewolf and werewolfie.
(Tl note: he mentioned wolf man and wolf woman. What could it be? Lol)
They are also not my subordinate; it wasn't the right terms to define them.
"It's been a long time since I go on a rampage. I was tired a little bit."
It was a gray werewolf grinning to me. He was an old man that lives near my neighborhood. Kokoya of the gray hair.
Mary is an old lady running a general store and behind her are my cousins.
In short, everyone is my acquaintances and relatives.
Werewolf likes to hunt in herd. Residents of the same village after all are fellow hunters in this case; everyone is fighting together with me, not my lackey.
However after all, werewolf is also a demon, monster.
We follow the order of demon lord, and we obey the strong.
The law is also applied to us.
It wasn't weird that people that are questioning my ability come and complain.
"Hey, Raito, do you think it is fine to leave it this way?"
It was a big red haired werewolf. Without a mistake, it must be the Gurnee twins. His name is Niberuto. His twin brother Gaberuto also comes speaking his discontent.
"I couldn't forget at how the human despise us. I never forget how many times they hunted and tried to kill my father. I wouldn't be satisfied if they are not exterminated."
These guys are my childhood friend. However they are still talking with their muscle. Even after I was appointed as the commander of the werewolves, they are not convinced.
It can't be helped. It was annoying that this whole process is dragging me which originally a human in my previous life. So now, let's just solve it with power.
I jumped down from the second floor window and arrived in front of the Gurnee twins.
"Are you unhappy?"
The twins then looked at each other in the eye. They are thinking whether the two of them can win against me.
Sure enough they are backing down. However they still didn't show me some respect.
"Oh, no. I was just saying what I would have done if I were the commander."
The red haired wolf awfully emphasized the last part, "If I were the commander."
Rebellious indeed.
The wolves around has guessed the atmosphere. They take a distance from us. Those who walked backwards are not going to oppose me.
I glared at the Gurnee twins.
"I am the commander. If you don't agree, you can take my position by killing me."
"Is that true?"
The Gurnee twins grinned. It seemed like this is what they aimed for. The Gurnee twins are influential among the werewolf corps. It is because their physique is one of the toughest. If I were to fight them head on, there is not a chance of me winning. Even just facing one of them, I have no memory that I win against them when I was a kid.
However right now I am the commander of the demon lord army.
So I laugh hearing that.
"That is true."
After that I was barking. It was not a howl, it was full of power.
A shockwave ran through the surrounding. It shakes trees, buildings, even houses windows are all shattered.
"Ugh."
"Wha."
The Gurnee twins staggered a few steps. Even other wolves around rigidly moves their body. Some crouched on the spot holding their ears.
The roar of the werewolf has the power to awe people and beast.
For humans, it can be used to crush their will to fight. However to fellow werewolf, it wasn't working.
But my roar is different. My roar is imbued with strong magical power. It is a roar that is reinforced with my own magic.
I am not a warrior of the werewolf race. I'm a sorcerer.
The demon lord army third division commander, the werewolf magician, Raito. That is my identity.
(Tl note: werewolf with magic? That is interesting right?)
That roar is one of my magic, 《soul shaker》.
There is a magic circle floating on my side. The effect is to make my roar unharmed to human but increasing the damage to demon. This spell works to those who are hostile to me. How strong, how brave, someone is, they are rendered useless in front of my skill. Because this skill attacks directly on the soul.
Sure enough, the Gurnee twins are frozen in place.
"Commander…oh…"
"Sir… I'm…"
The two people are now easy to kill so I approached them.
To them who are trembling, I smiled.
"Listen to my order."
After I said that, my spell is released from them. However after completely lost the will to fight, they can only stand there undignified.
Finally the older brother speaks.
"Ah, yes, I will listen to your order boss."
I laughed, and once again I tell the circumstances to everyone.
"Trading city Ryun is now under the demon lord third army division jurisdiction. You must not engage in battle with others except for self-defense reason."
The other werewolf lowered their head, swore obedience to me.
Then I explained further.
"Our objective to put this trading city under our rule. That is including cooperating with the demon lord army. So please protect the city and its residents."
"I don't understand."
The Gurnee brothers' neck is tilted. Rather than being rebellious this time they just don't understand. Although they are brave but they are stupid. Even when speaking, they are thinking so long to decide the words.
"Say, this town is like a herd of delicious deer for the demon lord army. If they are killed, then our mission is failed."
"Oh, I get it."
Now when I explained using simple words, they are nodding. I wonder if they really get it.
The older twins then said.
"But really, can human obeyed us? Even around us, they are sending murderous intent."
What he says is exactly true. I've been sensing it for a while.
"That is my job to make sure that they listened. You just need to follow my instruction."
"Yes commander."
I glared at him and he is backing down.
Ah, there's still more that I need to tell them.
"Well, because of that, don't think of the human as your food. You should go hunt deer outside in the forest vicinity. You must absolutely not attack the human. Understood?"
Since there are some elderly people in the group like the old lady running the convenience store, I tried to be polite and use some honorific. They are all agreed to my order.
"That's okay. You are the commander. We will pledge absolute obedience."
"So, please rest now and prepare for the next war."
The group is disbanded slowly. Since there are some veteran werewolves, there are also youngster in the group.
"Raito onii-san, please give me food!"
"Hey, can't you find it yourself? Aren't you going to be starving tonight?"
"Oh, come here, we have prepared it. Don't bother the commander."
As I said, werewolf corps is a group made of our village. There are elderly people, children, we have brought everyone except the sick. Even the youngsters have to defend for their selves. Still, our werewolf Corps looks horribly strong and intimidating. We're not here for picnic and they realized that.
3000 human in this city. However there are only 56 werewolves and 200 Inu race corps to rule over the town.
I really wondered myself if this is going to be okay. I myself have anxiety.
