Chapter 311: Fiend Camp Assault
Alros looked at the assortments of monsters currently under him. For the past few days, he had been attacking the powerful monster tribes and bringing them under him. He also subdued all of the A-rank monsters leading them, allowing the number ofnhis A-rank monsters from 2 to the current 12.
He then looked at his newly acquired monsters, from Kobold King, Goblin King, Goblin Archshaman, Savage Hobgoblin, Orc Warking, to Lizardman High Chieftain, and Lizardman Conquerer.
With 12 powerful A-rank monsters under him, he could more efficiently attack and conquer more powerful tribes. Especially one that he already have in his sight a long time ago.
"It's time," he stare at the direction of the Fiend Camp, a merciless glint formed in his eyes.

The assault to the Fiend Camp is done with few purpose, to kill those at D-ranks and below and subduing those above it. Of course, if any of the C-ranks fought hard, they will be killed as it will not be worth the efforts to capture them.

As for the reason to kill all the D-ranks, it is because Alros did not want to burden himself in raising their ranks so he could turn them into Demon Goblins or Demon Hobgoblins, since it would be a waste of resource, especially when his breeding program is success.
From the program, he was able to get a number of Demon Goblin. Sure, the number is not that great at the moment, but it's only the beginning. With the number of Demon Goblins increasing, it's only a matter of time before all of his Goblins will become Demon Goblins.
The assault also have the purpose to cut down those Demonic Goblins without wasting them. Of course, if they survive, it will be their luck and they will be given the chance to be turn into Demon Goblins.
For this assault, he is the leader of it but he will not be the one to command the attack. The one who will do it is Gobruk, who is currently showing his might as a Demon Goblin Noble.
Not only in term of power, but also in intellect as he had shown his thinking ability being equal to that of human strategist. All of the plans of the assault was prepared by him, as he planned on letting him command the Goblin Force once he become an A-rank monster.
"Hopefully, this battle will be the push he need," he muttered to himself, watching with some pride as the Demon Goblin Noble lay out his assault plan.
For the Fiend Camp assault plan, the ones that will be attacking them are his Demonic Monsters variant, supported by his Bugs Force. They will be attacking from multiple direction at once, causing the main camp to have the trouble to decide where to send help.
He watched with interest, wondering how the most powerful Demon Goblin will do in the battlefield.

When it is dawn, the assault had begun. As the patrols of the minor camp were about to change, volley of arrows struck the guards, killing them as his force descends upon all camps at once.
The sudden attack took the entirety of the Fiend Canp by surprise, allowing them to cut down a large swath of monsters with a single assault. However, it is the only a brief massacre as the leader of each camp took charge and unleash their counterattack.
It allow the battlefields to turn into a draw, giving the Fiend Camp's Force some breathing room. But not for long.
A loud horn was sounded by one of the Goblin, the loud sound causing his force to perform a quick retreat. Seeing this, the leaders of the camp ordered an assault, ready to slaughter those insolent enough to attack them.
However, it is a trap, as when the monsters overextended themselves, they find they were cut from their other force, before being engulfed by his force, leading to either their death or capture.
With their leaders being caught, the minor camps become disheartened and try to ret- no, flee in terror, losing hopes of their chances to win. This is the time Gobruk had been waiting for as he send in the monsters meant to hunt those that retreat down.
Ryker watched as powerful bugs descend towards those that flee like an ant to droplets of honey, an analogy that helped as one of the main attackers are the Flame Ants. With them leading the charge, it is only a matter of time before those that retreats succumb to their greater numbers.
Aside from the Flame Ant, there is also the Purple Hunting Spider, and Giant Earth Wasp. Their speed and ferocity made them the perfect monsters to hunt down those that retreat and break apart any attempt to reform.
In just half an hour, the camp under the onslaught of Gobruk had fallen. The last camp fallen suit half an hour after that.

The different Ogres looked at the outer camps with frown on their faces. Before long, the other B-rank monsters of the Fiend Camp walked towards them, detailing the reports they manage to get.
As they receive it, the Ogres' vicious expression changed to trepidation. They could see the danger of the situation but there is nothing they can do with the outer camp, with how all of it had fallen so quickly.
Not to mention, the attackers seem interested in attacking them as well!
Seeing the possible danger they are in, the Ogres made a bellowing sound, rallying the monsters of the main camp. The other B-rank monsters quickly head towards their respective group, prepared to mobilize them in an instant.
Their bellows woke up their leader out of its slumber. As the Troll Overlord woke up, it stared at its minion, letting out questioning grunts. The sight and power of the high-rank A-rank cause the Ogres to fall to their knees, but they did not waver, and instead give any detail they could give.
Hearing the other camps are destroyed, the mighty monster turned its head, watching as monsters he never seen before slaughtering its force.
Rage coursed through its vein as the sight of its worker force, one that feed it, was saluhhtered or captured by this accursed foe.
It then began to walk from its home, its presence domineering and powerful. The sight would leave many people in terror and awe, as the strongest monster of the Fiend Camp head towards the battlefield.
The Ogres, briefly surprised by their leader and master action, quickly took the chance to mobilize their force, ready to assist their leaders for the counterattack.
The fools that attack them will be slaughtered by the end of the day.
