Chapter 6

[Morning in the Forest]

"Hey~ Ruka, do you think we'll be able to find him here?"

"Shut up Boyd, I heard from the Elf Brothers in Gorgon before it was here" Ruka

"But..." Boyd

"You're noisy Boyd, if you're scared you should have gone home before entering this forest." Lars

"You're the bravest, aren't you? Didn't you doubt this mission before?!" Boyd

"Asshole, you're asking for a fight?!" Lars

"Friends..."

"What Ruka?!" Boyd & Lars

"We found it"

"W-Woah, there really is, Cave of Disaster" Boyd & Lars

"Let's hurry, we have to find the plant as soon as possible" Ruka

"Okay"

The three of them entered the cave to look for a special plant that they somehow needed ...

[Noon in the Main Hall of Gottheit Castle]

*I guess I should change it, it's strange to have a territory and have residents but they live in a maze which is the castle's defense mechanism*

*then..*

Click - Click - Click...

『 Guild Area』

.

.

『 Edit 』

*It would be better this way, change it completely, I think this would be good, a territory that looks completely like a medieval kingdom in my homeworld. A vast territory that would be surrounded by giant walls and defense towers. But... One problem, the area occupied by the castle and the maze at the moment is completely forested, I don't see any open space except in the maze's inner area.

*I think I'll get rid of the maze*

*Check Check Zash* (Initiates Telepathy)

*What is it my lord? *Zash

*Can you gather all the Insectar members who are in Phase 2, please bring them to the Main Hall, I need to talk to all of you*

*Good my lord* Zash

*Then Next, Albis*

*Your Majesty* Albis

*Gather the Pillar Servants to the Main Hall, I have something to talk about*

*Well, as you wish* Albis

While waiting for them, Dante tried to access the menu to manage the guild territory that reached 250m in diameter, of course that included the maze... After a while...

"I am Zash"

"I'm Fran."

"And all the Insectars are here"

"Come to Fulfill Your Call, Your Highness"

"Fufu, good, thank you for taking time out of your Harvest Time" Dante

"No problem, meeting you is our own happiness Your Majesty" The Insectars

"Then right away, I will completely change the shape of our territory"

"You mean everything my lord?" Reinhard

"Yes."

"Then what will you make it look like my lord?" Zash

"Simple, I'm going to form a territory like a kingdom-"

"We're going to become a kingdom, my lord?!" Hakuto

"Uh, yes."

*Ah that's right, Hakuto has the same nature as his designer, both favoring a kingdom and empire system (like Japan back then)*

"Then we will follow your will, we trust you my lord"

"Do you have any suggestions or special requests? Just say so."

"Then I'd like to ask you for something my lord" Venus, Reinhard, Hugo & Zash

"One by one, starting with you, my Venus"

"Then please give me a living area that is like the Highlands, my lord. According to my own research, by flying directly from a high area to a location, I can get there faster, and since I have heat-sensitive skin, I need to be in a cool place to stay."

*That's a long request* Rori

"Then I'll try, go ahead, talk to Reinhard"

"I hope my request is not burdensome, I just hope my next place of residence is still filled with apple orchards and jasmine flowers"

"Then I will make it so Reinhard"

"Thank you my lord" Reinhard

"What is your request Hugo"

"Rather than a request I believe it is a question about the previous Ogre Squadron my lord" Hugo

"Hmumu, well, tell me"

"2 of them I believe have great skill, my lord. Therefore I would like to ask for permission, may I ask Miss Dina's help to train them?" Hugo

"Fweh! Me?" Dina

"Hoho, if it's related to Dina. Are any of their Skills not related to Physical Amplification anymore?"

"As you suspected my lord" Hugo

*Interesting, until now the skills I've seen and possessed from the monsters I've encountered are only lowly skills.*

"Then I'll allow it"

"Please help, Miss Dina" Hugo

"Uh, y-yes" Dina

"Zash, tell me your wish"

"Immediately my lord, I want a house that is on top of a tall tree my lord" Zash

"I-I, don't know what reason to give" Zash

"It's not clear, do you want to expect Mr. Dante to do something without a clear reason, Zash you want your head removed huh?" Rori

"Don't interrupt my communication, Rori, be quiet"

"S-sorry Your Majesty" Rori

"Then I'll try to make it happen"

"Thank you very much Your Highness" Zash

"Then I'll tell you how I plan to develop our region"

..

..

..

Dante talked a lot about his plans to build the kingdom he wanted according to his guild's criteria...

"You've thought that deep and that far!, as expected from the Lord. Your mind is truly visionary, cunning, clever, cold and rational." Reinhardt

"Hoho Thank you for the flattery"

*I'm sure everything I've said before is just normal human thinking that can play the Empire Building Game on my previous world (Earth), what's it called, Str**gh*ld, Cl**h of C*ans*

"Then let's get straight to work"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone

"By the way Zash, can you tell Agito the gist of the conversation that I told you earlier, and instruct Agito to spread it to the other Ogres as well"

"Yes Your Majesty" Zash

Fwung!

Zash left quickly like an invisible gust of wind...

*Your Majesty*

*Hm? Guards, what's wrong?

*Do you intend to take care of it yourself?, we're sure you're already feeling it, the approaching Stampede*

*Yes, I will take care of it myself, after all this is a good opportunity for me to raise my level*

*Well Your Majesty, feel free to call us if anything troubles you*

*Of course*

"Alright, let's go"

Fwur!

Dante exited the castle exit, unfurled his black demon wings, and flew towards the stampede the guards were referring to.

Arriving at the top of the stampede, he felt familiar...

*I think I've seen those creatures... Wait! They're insectars, ants, like Zash, right? The difference is that they are still at a very low level (Insect)*

*Wait, it's Human?! They're chasing those Humans? Perhaps, the culprits were those Humans from the beginning? Heeh~ just troublesome*

Dante Equipped his Evil Claw and Crashed into Thousands of Ants...

[Body Strengthening]!

[Speed Boost]!

[Air Infiltration]!

Right after strengthening his strength, endurance, and speed, he lunged and tore the ants apart with his metal nails...

"Kieek!"

Swoosh!

The ants' sharp claws struck right at Dante's blind spot, right behind his head, but the attack did not penetrate the flow of wind that instantly blocked and diverted the attack in another direction...

"Kieekk-"

Srett!

"Noisy, for some reason I'm starting to hate weaklings like you. Come here, you damn scum."

"T-that's who?" Boyd

"Who are you asking?" Lars

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, how about coming with me for a moment."

In the middle of Dante's battle, Albis came from the sky to visit the humans who turned out to be the previous adventurers...

After a while ...

Dante had slaughtered the insects, not forgetting ...

[Soul Extract]

Brrrr

*I think this is enough*

"Your Majesty, I brought the one who was hiding here"

The humans that Albis brought showed fearful faces when they saw the results of Dante's slaughter...

"So who are you? Why are these ants chasing you? Start talking."

Dante said while smiling 'a little' menacingly...

"W-we are Adventurers from Gorgon, we are here to carry out a mission to find the Herban Barguff Plant" Ruka

"R-really, but it just so happens that the herbs we are looking for are in the territory of this anthill, so we are being chased by them" Lars

"Hmm"

*They're not lying, I think this will be the way in*

"You look tired and hungry, how about coming to my place to eat for a while and then you can continue your journey?"

"Ah Haha, sorry we have to hurry-" Boyd

Grrrrrrrkk

"Hey Boyd F*ck Your Stomach" Lars

"Haha, I guess we'll take your advice" Ruka

"Good, then follow me"

They walked, step by step, through dozens of trees, until they reached the front gate of the Dante Region Redevelopment...

*T-This?! The place?! Are they building a territory?!* Ruka

A slightly dark-skinned, white-haired ogre with a small red tattoo on his neck was greeted by Dante.

"Hey! Volca, looks like Zash-kun told you already, huh?"

"That's right Your Highness, with our 25 members, it should take at least a month to fulfill the first phase of your plan." Volca

"You made it from the road first huh? Good, it's not wrong that you have that skill, if I'm not mistaken it's called [State Architecture]."

"Hehe, thanks to you blessing our young master, and young master Agito giving me the name and the blessing of the skill channeled from you" Volca

"Then continue your work, I have a guest like him"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Volca

The muscular girl walked away from Dante while continuing to sculpt and move the stones...
