Episode 6
“You want to train slaves?”
Raidrun’s expression distorted subtly.
Choi Hyun-seok explained calmly without panicking.
“To increase work efficiency.” “To increase work efficiency?” “Yes. From what I’ve observed over the past few days as a slave yard worker, the slaves here have no unity or discipline.”
That’s a given.
Currently, the 2nd Slave Unit is capturing humans from all over the continent and putting them to work.
Most of them are from peasant backgrounds, and even they belong to different countries, so it is bound to be a mess.
“Hmm… But a slave is just a slave. The work itself is hard, and if you train separately, the weak human body can’t handle it. In fact, the work efficiency will drop even more.” “Of course, that may be the case at first. But! It will change soon. Think about it!”
Choi Hyun-seok raised his hands like an orator giving a speech.
“Elite work slaves who follow every command in perfect unison! You won’t find any laziness, and they are expert work slaves who can do the work of two, or even three slaves!”
“hmm…”
“Our unit will be known as the best slave unit, and voices praising Lord Raidran will be heard throughout the Demon King’s army!”
“Is that so…?”
“Yes! If you give me the chance, I will create the strongest, best work slave unit!”
Finally, Raidrun was completely taken over.
“I don’t allow it.”
“thank you!”
After receiving permission from Raidrun.
Choi Hyun-seok bowed 90 degrees as a greeting and left the office.
‘Huh huh…’
A deep smile appeared on Choi Hyun-seok’s lips as he came out into the hallway.
‘You took the bait.’
***
Choi Hyun-seok returned to his room with light steps.
“Whew… I’m glad it worked.”
Finally, the door closed, and Choi Hyun-seok let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time Rachel began to make a fuss.
“Are you crazy! Are you crazy! Are you crazy!!!” “Why are you acting up again?” “Hero! Did you really get shot in the head!? The best work slave!? What did you say again? There are so many voices praising Lord Raidran in the Demon King’s army!? And you’re a hero!?” “I told you I won’t be a hero. And you say you got shot in the head? Where did you learn such shameful words?” “Is that important right now!?”
As Rachel continued to whine, Choi Hyun-seok covered his ears.
“It’s so noisy I could die.”
“Die! Die, you Demon King’s lackey!”
Rachel repeatedly punched Choi Hyun-seok in the chest.
Even so, it was not as good as the Nyang Nyang Punch.
“Just stay still.”
Choi Hyun-seok grabbed Rachel and sat her down at the desk.
“Listen carefully. The real fight starts now.”
Suddenly, Choi Hyun-seok took on a serious tone.
“What are you trying to tease me with your tongue again!?” “Teasing me with your tongue is your specialty!”
Choi Hyun-seok, who briefly got angry as he recalled the past, calmed down and cleared his throat.
“Ahem! Anyway, I’ll explain my future plans.”
Rachel didn’t take her suspicious gaze away, but Choi Hyun-seok ignored it and continued speaking.
“I plan to train slaves to revolt.” “A, a revolt…!?”
“Shhh…! If you do that, someone will hear you.”
Rachel covered her mouth in surprise.
“There are 3,000 slaves in this fortress. However, the Demon King’s army that manages the slaves is less than 500.”
Choi Hyun-seok explained what he had learned while working as a slave.
“If we only consider those with excellent combat ability among the 500 Demon King’s troops, the number will drop to less than half.”
During that time, Choi Hyun-seok did not flatter her without thinking.
It’s all for this grand plan!
A fight of 3,000 vs. 500.
No matter how many monsters there were in the Demon King’s Army, Choi Hyun-seok thought it was worth a try.
It is quite possible to train slaves in combat skills using Earth’s knowledge.
What matters is their will.
The key will be whether you can shake off your fear and stand up to the Demon King’s army.
“W-will that work?” “You never know until you try. Should we just give up before we even start because it seems impossible?” “That’s true, but… even if the rebellion is successful, what happens then?” “I heard that the Human Alliance is stationed near Fort Hemorn.”
“Aha! Then…”
“Yeah. Once we capture the fort and request reinforcements, the game is over.”
“Hero…!”
Rachel’s eyes filled with tears.
“I don’t even know that… sigh…” “You may not know. It’s okay.” “When I first saw you, I thought you were just some ignorant guy who only knew muscles and fighting… But I saw you again!” “Is that a compliment? Isn’t it?” “Of course! You’re a genius!”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled faintly at Rachel’s compliment.
“If I succeed in this task, I might receive a great reward.” “Of course! We’ve taken over a fortress! Maybe I’ll be a nobleman.
You might be given a title. Then your future as a warrior is smooth sailing!” “Oh. Is that so?” “Yes! When you become a noble, your starting point is completely different from that of other warriors. You start off using a kind of cheat key!”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded his head repeatedly.
‘Haven’t I been living this beggarly slave life of the Demon King’s Army for too long to be called a beginning?’
My mouth was twitching, but I didn’t say anything.
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Rachel for a long time.

‘Now that I think about it, it’s been quite some time since I spent time with Rachel.’
At first, I really didn’t like it.
No, to be honest, it’s not that I don’t like it, I just want the head to be separated from the body.
‘But I’m not an emotional person.’
A fighter must remain cool-headed in any situation.
Because you always have to keep an eye on the other person’s eyes and create the best possible outcome in any situation.
That’s why Choi Hyun-seok thought about Rachel’s usefulness.
From the beginning, it was impossible to shake off Rachel.
It would be a wise choice to somehow find a use for Rachel and make good use of her.
‘First of all, he knows more than I do.’
It only means that Rachel has more knowledge ‘compared to Choi Hyun-seok’, but it doesn’t mean that Rachel is smart.
‘And you know how to use magic.’
Rachel was able to use magic that was useful in many everyday situations.
Or hide your appearance.
Or block out sound.
Or heat the bath water.
And more… and more!
It doesn’t have much use right now, but in the future, when Choi Hyun-seok’s magical power grows stronger, Rachel will also be able to use a wider variety of magic.
‘You could simply use her as a scout. Rachel is small and can move around easily.’
Rachel’s usefulness is endless, depending on how you use her.
And most importantly.
‘Let’s look at it because it’s cute.’
Rachel is crazy pretty and cute.
When in his past life did Choi Hyun-seok travel with such a beauty?
That one fact was enough.
Even if the travel destination is a hellish Demon King’s Army fortress.
Why, isn’t there a saying like this?
If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it!
This has been Choi Hyun-seok’s favorite quote since he came here.
“By the way, warrior!”
“why?”
“Didn’t you say earlier that you completed the warrior quest?”
“Oh, that’s right!”
Rachel’s words came to mind.
“You said you earned hero points and that the hero shop opened.”
Only then did Rachel breathe a sigh of relief.
This is because the warrior shop is opened only after completing the first warrior quest.
That means, the crazy warrior quest that Choi Hyun-seok mentioned was true.
“It wasn’t a lie…” “How many times do I have to tell you that’s not true!?” “Let’s open the store quickly!”
“Phew, okay…”
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head and opened the warrior shop.
When it comes to actually opening a store, I feel a little nervous.
‘What could there be?’
The use of ‘Warrior Points’, which had been kept under wraps for so long, will finally be revealed.
Finally, the warrior shop opened, and there was… nothing much there.
[Beginner Warrior Shop]
– Ability
– Item
First of all, it appears to be broadly classified into two categories.
Choi Hyun-seok first confirmed the ability.
– Breath Holding (F): Hold your breath better.
– Hold in your shit (F): Hold in your shit better.
Choi Hyun-seok’s face hardened like a rock after seeing his ability.
‘Hold your breath…? Hold your shit…?’
All I’ve worked so hard to collect are these kinds of abilities?
Choi Hyun-seok opened his eyes wide and checked the detailed explanation of holding back poop.
□ Holding in shit (F)
‧Description: A warrior is someone who never knows when or where he will have to fight a long battle!
For such a warrior, menstruation is truly a hardship!
We give you a custom ability that makes it hard for you to go to the bathroom. Hold in your poop!
Stops your period for up to 24 hours!
‧Required Warrior Points: 50
“Crazy… what is this!?”
Choi Hyun-seok denied reality.
Are you kidding? It must be a joke.
But when I opened my eyes again, the explanation was the same.
100 warrior points, which he had barely earned by using all kinds of flattery.
The ability to survive with it is limited to holding your breath a little better and holding your shit a little better.
I can’t believe it.
This is absolutely impossible.
“ha…”
There were a few other series of patience, but the situation was similar.
In other words, it was useless.
Choi Hyun-seok grabbed Rachel by the collar.
“Are you kidding me!?”
“That, that…”
Rachel explained, embarrassed.
“That’s because it’s still a level 1 shop! How many useful abilities will there be when you collect warrior points and level up later!?”
Rachel spread her index finger and spoke cheerfully, but it had the opposite effect.
“Shut up!”
Choi Hyun-seok was so excited that he shouted, spitting out saliva.
Just before picking up Rachel and throwing her out the window,
“Wait a minute! Warrior. Calm down for a moment and take a closer look! Aside from the patience series, there are many good abilities in the Warrior Shop!?” “Are there other abilities?” “Yes. That’s right! Just take a look around! Hahaha…!”
“hmm…”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at the ability column once again.
After going through a series of endurance tests, including holding one’s breath, holding one’s poop, and holding one’s sleep, one finally begins to show other abilities.
“Cooking… Cleaning… Laundry…”
Choi Hyun-seok’s face became more and more distorted.
“When on earth will I ever gain useful abilities!?”
“Umm…”
Rachel, who had been thinking for a moment, made a very cute expression.
“Wouldn’t it come out if I level up? Ta-da!”
“Ta-da…?”
Choi Hyun-seok’s face hardened even more.
But Rachel did not give in.
‘Now that it’s come to this, let’s push through with some cutesy tactics!’
Rachel winked vigorously.
“Ta-da! Ta-da!”
“Just die.”
Choi Hyun-seok grabbed Rachel with a serious expression.
“Okay, just a minute! Gyaaaaah!”
That day, Rachel’s screams echoed until the sun rose.
***
A few days passed.
Meanwhile, Choi Hyun-seok overcame his disappointment with the trashy Warrior Store and focused on his work.
The most important of these is morning education.
Every morning, before work begins, we train the slaves.
Although it was only a short hour, Choi Hyun-seok had no intention of wasting it.
“Before we begin training, there will be a salute to the Demon King. Everyone, salute!” Bam!
3,000 slaves raise their hands at once.
It was still a little awkward, but after practicing for a few days, I got pretty good at it.
“Okay. Right.”
At Choi Hyun-seok’s words, the slaves stood up in unison.
“Next, we will sing the Demon King’s Army’s 3rd Army Corps’ Army Anthem. Let the Army Anthem Begin!”
As Choi Hyun-seok shouts loudly, the 3rd Corps’ song echoes throughout the Hemorn Fortress.
“We are~! The great~! Demon King’s Army~!” “Let’s defeat humans! Let’s eat humans!”
A bizarre scene was being staged where humans were shouting to eat humans…
Captain Raidran, who was watching all of this, felt his heart pounding.
‘How happy would the Demon King be if he saw this…’
Muscles covering his entire body at a height of 2.5m.
It was a Raidrun with fire shooting out of its horns on its head, but I couldn’t help but tear up at the sight of such a magnificent sight.
Tears welled up in the cow’s characteristically round eyes.
“Ahem, ahem.”
Raidran raised his thick hand and wiped his eyes.
“It was good that you allowed me to train…”
Raidrun vowed.
I will definitely have Choi Hyeon-seok join the Demon King’s Army.
Although he is human, he is a man who is more suited to the Demon King’s Army than anyone else.
It was certain that the great Demon King would be extremely satisfied when he saw Choi Hyeon-seok.
That was when.
dripping.
Someone knocked on the office door.
‘What kind of guy dares…’
I told you not to come to my morning training session no matter what.
Raidran was furious, but the intruder knocked on the door again without paying attention.
dripping!
“What!?”
“Raidrun, urgent news!”
The one who opened the door and came in was the goblin guard, Jack.
Before Raidrun could tear Jacques’ ugly face apart, he decided to listen to him first.
“What’s the emergency?”
“The human army is advancing here!” “What are you talking about!?”
Raidrun was surprised.
The human army is advancing.
That can’t be true.
Because just yesterday we received reports that the human forces were retreating.
Thanks to that, the 8th Division of the Demon King’s Army stationed near the fortress was dispatched to annihilate the fleeing humans.
“The humans who should have all died are returning to the fortress?” “That… was a trap!”
“pitfall?”
“Yes. The 8th Division has now been defeated and the humans are advancing straight towards the fortress!”
“…”
Raidrun kept his mouth shut.
The 8th Division of the 3rd Army Corps is the largest unit in the area.
If the 8th Division had been defeated, there would be no army left to stop the humans advancing on the Hemorn fortress.
“Lord Raidrun. You must evacuate immediately!”
The 2nd Slave Unit led by Raidrun is not a combat unit.
A troop literally meant to lead slaves to work.
The number of members in the unit is only 500.
This is not enough to stop a human army numbering in the thousands or tens of thousands.
“Other units… aren’t they coming for support?” “It looks like the humans have already taken action. All the units nearby are already tied up.”
It seemed like the cunning humans had already come up with a plan.
In the end, there was no choice but to hand the fortress over to the humans.
Raidrun, unable to contain his anger, slammed the desk.
“shit!”
Boom!
A huge wooden desk shatters into pieces.
“To think that we have to hand over this fortress, whose construction is nearing its end, in such a vain manner!”
This is the price to pay for underestimating human tricks.
“Lord Raidrun, there is no time! They will be coming any minute. You must evacuate immediately…” “Understood. I will leave immediately.”
It was when Raidrun was about to leave, gritting his teeth.
“One! Two!”
A loud training voice could be heard outside the window.
Choi Hyun-seok’s appearance was captured in Raidrun’s large eyes.
‘Choi Hyun-seok…’
A man passionately training a slave in an empty lot.
Raidrun couldn’t give up on him.
“Wait a minute!”
“yes?”
“We have to take Choi Hyun-seok with us somehow!”
Demon King’s Army officer Raidran.
He was a commander who loved talent.
