[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]

The demons living in Orthadroval walked to a certain place outside the village, carrying large planks of wood modified to become the walls of the village, including meters long rope and large nails that could be used for the village.

They were commanded to do so, after all.

They placed them in fixed positions, arranging and separating the materials in a neat way as learned from Jonathan while he prepares something.

"Boss, everything's done." An Orc said, before Jonathan glanced at his direction.

"Hm. I haven't even asked you your name before, nor everyone else. May you reveal it to me for a moment? I'm just curious." Jonathan replied, before the Orc nodded his head.

"My name is Fred, Boss." The Orc replied, while Jonathan finished his own preparations.

"Ok." Was what Jonathan said, thinking that it was pretty unexpected, as he himself expected something along the lines of Teefjaw, or... Squidnose. "Now stay back, I don't want any of you to get hurt, even for a moment."

Fred the Orc complied with his request, along with a few demons like imps who sat on the tops of the buildings to watch him curiously.

What magic was he about to use? A few, older demons expected him to use telekinesis magic, but what they did not expect was that he would use the ability to create portals out of thin air and begin building the wall himself for many to watch.

Jonathan used telekinesis to plant the planks five by five to their desired location and tightened them together, using his techniques to their engineering utilities and pins down the nails in the perfectly calculated locations.

The extra planks were turned into a long ladder and a tower for seeing the plains and forests outside the village, and because there were some more, he decided to create a few benches for anybody to sit on until they were depleted.

And once he was done, he sighed and stretched his body for a few minutes.

"Woah, that almost felt like I used a weaker version of GP Phantom Buster." Jonathan commented, feeling tired, but not yet sleepy enough from spending his energy. "Well, gotta rest now, I'm going to have to manually recover my energy."

Then he smirked, raising his thumb towards his Demons.

"And there, this is your reward for your hard work! You may now take a rest, and begin hunting animals if you need!" He said, as they all cheered loudly. "However, Fred, stay beside me for a while. we have some things to talk about."

After a few seconds, he and Fred stared at each other.

"Now, to address the problem of the population. Other than having other demons indoctrinated to serve me and Olga, is there any way for this vilage's population to increase?" He asked, and Fred sighed.

"Sadly, the only way for our population to increase is to copulate with the opposite sex, often times forcefully because all Orcs, Imps, Trolls, and certain types of demons are born male. Barely any female demons exist, a few examples are Dryads and Tieflings." Fred explained, and allowed Jonathan to think about what he spoke for a moment.

'... Another problem, a big one indeed.' He knew what it was, and he could not blame anybody else but whoever created them.

Still, he smiled, knowing something else that might solve the problem.

"Soon enough, I and Olga may solve that problem, and right now pillaging villages and towns or hunting wildlife and even foraging are the only ways we could survive, for a while. That's why next few days, we will attack a village and get us some infamy with all the resources we gain, this time it will be a success."

Hearing this, the Orc was motivated immediately, smirking like an excited man wanting to participate in a party.

"I shall tell the others, Boss! Everyone will be prepared by then! All this building stuff is boring us all!" Fred yelled, awaiting his command, while the demons near him actually heard him and wondered what he was on about.

"Eh, go on, give me some rest already." Jonathan replied, getting out of the bench and returning to his home to rest there.

The Orc chuckled, and immediately began to spread the word that encouraged his kinsmen and roused them up in order for them to begin working harder than usual.

While Jonathan rested, Chloe was recently done with her daily training, and immediately took a rest beside him after fixing things up.

And without the two noticing, Olga had been watching them from her castle using her magic, feeling proud and expectant of the two.

Despite that, her own duty as the master of the Dark Castle forces her to be patient, and soon enough their forces will grow, and her and Celestine's war shall come to an end, either peacefully or with lethal force.

She did not believe it would end with her going to terms with Celestine, though. That's impossible, for Olga had decided she needed to be gone from this world.
