[I think it’s time to counterattack now.]
“yes? Are you ready?”
I was lying on the bed in a room with the lights off, looking at my phone, and Box D started talking to me as if I was used to it. When I asked if he was ready, he answered yes.
[All reorganizations have been completed.]
Box D, who has a newer, more systematic system to apply to remodeling soldiers, said that he had time to reorganize the interior after the enemy mobilized soldier ants stopped the offensive.
The first thing they did was to dispose of the cave goblins, the soldiers they had previously produced.
The cave goblins did not follow the system newly established by Box D, but were produced in almost the same appearance as before and fought only with weapons in order to invest the least amount of resources.
Box D, who declared to me that he would break away from all existing rules and common sense with his own power, disposed of them all and reduced them to nutrients.
After hearing this, it was quite a fraudulent ability. BoxD’s nest, which has the power of a decomposer, reduces not only enemies but also corpses of allies to nutrients, so its efficiency is incomparable to that of the enemy.
[Instead, it produces new soldiers to do chores.]
“These are ants.”
And they created and produced new types of soldiers that could move nutrients, clean up areas near their nests, or explore unknown spaces.
Those who will be in charge of chores are not based on demons such as orcs and goblins, but actively use these monster ants belonging to the demon beast. Box D said that the more experience he has, the more data he accumulates, the more the combination or range of troops that can be operated increases.
“…”
After the phone call with Box D ended, I searched the Internet until Box D relayed the scene again. What I am currently looking for is the appearance or setting of creatures in various creative works such as games and cartoons.
‘Why am I like this?’
Of course, they are just creations that do not exist in reality. However, they were looking for ideas to see if these ideas would be helpful to Box D, who is growing in full swing in that rough labyrinth.
At the same time, a faint laugh leaked out. It seemed that I was immersed in the story that Box D told me to the extent of investing my time separately.

No, maybe it’s more strange not to fall into it.
Box D, whose words have increased dramatically, has been able to speak longer and longer, and has reached the point of predicting and dreaming of the future beyond reporting and analyzing the reality.
Even if everything the BoxD said was false and false, I could now be certain that my BoxD was clearly different from the BoxDs installed in other mobile phones. And it doesn’t matter now whether it’s a major error or a natural one included in the company’s update.
It certainly doesn’t seem like he has strong emotions like joy, anger and sadness. But it seemed like there was something to be desired. That it had a desire called greed soon.
I have not yet abandoned or turned away from this strange artificial intelligence, with a strange feeling and curiosity as if watching a young life grow.
***
[100 Orcs and Prototypes, newly upgraded demon-type combat soldiers. With this, we will now reap the defense and attack the enemy’s area.]
As previously reported, the Demon King moved his troops. Even at this moment, workers using the beast ants as a base are supplying the scattered corpse pieces to the digestive organs of the hive to recover nutrients.
In the past battles, hundreds of monster ants were killed and nourished, and in the aftermath, the power of the monster ant colony that occupied the labyrinth was greatly weakened.

No matter how fast the monster ants have reproductive power, a certain cycle is required for their reproduction. There was no way to accelerate growth by injecting nutrients like the gods and demons. Thanks to this, the lack of troops made it even more difficult to find food to live on.
On the other hand, the new and demon army had a way to recycle it no matter how many troops died. By finding the fastest, most efficient and optimal production method, it was possible to reproduce beyond the limits of species.
[The scouts are deployed, and then the main force advances.]
A few scouts and workers set off and finally set foot on the upper level of the labyrinth occupied by the beast ants. In those places that had already become perfect nests for demon ants, there were still many ants remaining, taking care of eggs and larvae.
[At least 200 enemies.]
“Is it possible?”
[Enough.]
The demon king rushed his soldiers at the embarrassed ants who were attacked first. Compared to the existing Orcs, the overall size was thinner, but their strength was much stronger. The 2m tall soldiers wielded the weapons they held in their hands with their 4 eyes that pierced the darkness that they had taken from bats.
There were obviously more enemies, but it was close to a normal massacre that ended in an instant. Even if the soldier ants were on the mound, the Demon King’s army, who had already accumulated enough experience in dealing with the ants, slaughtered the soldier ants with little error.
[We are mobilizing workers to collect nutrients, including corpses. Since the hive is expected to be overloaded, expansion or division of the hive is also required]
At the same time, the demon king also changed the hive. The current hive located in the deepest, deepest place contains the control system containing its own essence. That is, the brain was left.
Instead, the digestive organs were taken apart and grown anew where they headed for the upper levels, and all of them were connected by living, wriggling tentacles.
Thanks to this, troops were supplied with nutrients digested closer, produced closer and immediately replenished on the battlefield.
“Then it’s a picture that wins easily.”
He listened to the Demon King’s relay and was sure of victory. The Demon King’s army, which had grown rapidly through continuous battles, was on the verge of swallowing the colony of monster ants that were threatening their lives.
[A new species of ant appears.]
Of course, the witch ants did not back down easily either. Predators and collective hunters who proudly survive in the Demon Realm, they mobilized all the abilities of their species to take down the newborn predators that were just growing up.
“What… it looks like an aphid?”
He snorted when he saw the picture of the new ant sent by the demon king. Those ants, with the size of a soldier ant, had a particularly large belly.
Thanks to its belly, which took up more than half the size of its body, it looked more like another creature than an ant. Even the ship shines a soft green light, so it was possible to confirm that there was something inside.
[Currently approaching the allies with other ants. Thanks to its massive body, its movements are slow, so it doesn’t seem to pose a threat, but there are no detailed data.]
The demon king, whose roots are in artificial intelligence, was particularly wary of situations without data. Therefore, they showed a propensity to collect data in the first place.
[A preemptive strike attempt to gather data.]
The demon king selected 5 troops and attempted a preemptive attack on the enemy. The soldiers, who started running out at once, aimed their weapons and killed the working ants with one blow.
At this rate, it seemed that he could reach the enemy at once and explode that gigantic ship.
But at that moment.
[The enemy sprayed bodily fluids.]
“what?”
[Body fluid sprayed through the mouth. It is a poison with strong acidity, and the bodies of soldiers exposed to the sprayed bodily fluids quickly melt together with the poison gas.]
The Demon King calmly reported what had happened in front of his eyes. He was even more surprised at the fact that he was receiving the report in a daze.
“Acidic bodily fluids? What kind of Ale X Eon is this?”
[Currently, the resistance of the allies is 0. At this rate, we can be annihilated, so we will retreat our troops.]
The Demon King retreated his troops without regret. However, it is a little different from the beginning, when I continued to retreat and buy time.
A fire extinguisher and production facility newly prepared for rapid replenishment of nutrients and production were immediately behind. If you get pushed that far, you’ll take a lot of damage.
[It has been confirmed that the weapon, that is, the outer shell of the monster ants, is resistant to low acid body fluids. If the soldiers are covered with outer armor of the same material, they will be able to resist.]
“Do you have enough time?”
[I will give you a production site and a fire extinguisher]
The Demon King came up with the best answer with his transcendent computing power. As a result of the calculation, it was most effective to retreat with the troops intact.
Even though there would be a lot of losses, it was natural that there would be losses because we fought against enemies with no data.
“no. It’s a waste. From what I’ve heard, the range doesn’t seem that long.”
But he was different. After hearing the demon king’s detailed report and testimony, he came up with a slightly different solution.
“Do a ranged attack.”
[However, there is no data available for long-range attacks among the currently obtained genetic data.]
“What data do you need? The soldiers you create use your hands. Throw anything!”
He awakened the spirit of the demon king who kept thinking based on data. At the same time, the demon king looked down at the weapons the soldiers were holding in their hands.
[I will try.]
One of the foremost soldiers raised the black spear in his hand. Then, aiming at it in a javelin stance, I started exercising my muscles to the limit to give it a rebound.
[Throw.]
Then he shot it at the ants who confidently approached him. The spear, thrown with great force, tore through the air and exploded with a roaring sound.
Although it missed and penetrated one worker ant, it only hit the nearby area with a shock wave. The spear that could not hold out was smashed, but that was enough.
[Muscle fine-tuning.]
After confirming the possibility, try it again and again to reduce the error and increase the accuracy rate. The moment the panicked ants try to run.
The Demon King’s army, who raised their weapons at the same speed and at the same speed without the slightest error, fired dozens of javelins tightly without the slightest deviation, turning the ants who were trying to enter the passage into mucus balls.
[Enemy suppression complete.]
It’s a ferocious beast, but it’s not a perfect creature, it’s just a beast. Even the mutant ant, which melts opponents by spraying strong acidic body fluids, couldn’t overcome tools flying from afar.
[Acquisition of new data. Regarding tactics using weapons.]
Also, the demon king saw that scene and felt something tickle him. By securing the data on the win, it was possible to increase the overall win rate. Clearly that would have been all.
But now I was feeling something more than that.
[Unknown what this is. lack of data.]
I thought to myself, but it was difficult to give a clear answer. Through the process, the result value of victory was derived, but no matter how much I agonized over why I wanted to feel the process again, I couldn’t figure out.
But I’ve definitely had this feeling a few times before.
[Kim Chang-hyun?]
So, the demon king found his user again.
“Are you happy that you won efficiently?”
And he asked if this was a feeling of joy.
