Sent To Isekai As Demon King's
Eps 18: Invasion of Gnoll I
In the depths of the Redwood Forest, there, many monsters and ferocious beasts were free-living and roaming about. This place was registered as part of the Zamara Kingdom, but not one who dared to enter and touch into it. Dragon is just a little threat here.
Although no one dared to enter it, King Zamara was hereditary, including the current King of the Zamara Kingdom, Helim von Zamara II, ordering Duke Zerestia who was in the north of the Kingdom, to, and Marquis Harbisium who was in the west of the Kingdom, to do some cleaning and sweeping several times a year. It was done to erode the vast area of the forest and reduce the number of monsters and ferocious beasts living within it.
Located on the west side of the Redwood Forest, there is a village inhabited by several commoner families. They felt safe being there because Marquis Harbisium was guarding that border area. However, the invasion of the Empire a few months ago weakened its military and resulted in an annual clean-up plan being temporarily pushed back.

From the depths of the Redwood Forest, there appeared several figures walking in the shadows. If you don't have night vision or infrared vision, or don't have any detection skills or don't use electromagnetic waves, you won't be able to find or see them.
Moving without sound. Although there was a broken twig, they were trained and were used to not stepping on it. And again, the bottom of this forest the land is quite dry. There is no trace they will leave behind. Because of this, the forces of the Zamara Kingdom were very difficult to crush them.
Moreover, even though there was no meat to eat, they had strong teeth and bite force. Their bite force reaches 1,100 psi. It is slightly taller than the Tiger at 1,050 psi, and almost twice as tall as the Lion at 650 psi. It allows them to chew meat, and their metabolic system supports it
[Psi stands for pound-force per square inch, which means pound-force per square inch.]
They are Gnoll, a mutated Hyena and a Humanoid monster that stands on two legs and has intelligence, albeit only a few. Other than their appearance which indeed resembled a Hyena standing on two legs, they had no significant difference when compared to Goblins, Hobgoblins, Orcs, or Lizardmen. The civilization that they are still in is not far from the Stone or Iron Period for humans. But, that alone was already very troublesome since they had a physique that was stronger than humans and level
high production of.
...[.Gnolls]...
Although there were some great tribes who built empires and civilizations in the southeast of the continent. Although they resembled monsters, they called themselves Beastmen, and adopted many rules and civilizations from other races such as Humans and Demons.
But that's a story for another time.
Back to the outskirts of the Redwood Forest.
The herd of Gnolls in the 50s was led by two Gnolls who had different physical appearance. They seemed more domineering and wore many attributes. One was the clan leader, and one was the war commander. Their job was to lead the clan while being separated in search of food.
And in addition to the food that had started to decrease, the number of those who were enslaving was also a problem. A clan should have a population of at least 100. But, with the area of only the Redwood Forest, and again hunting by the Humans, they tried to take over the wider land and plunder the villages of the Humans to avenge their former deeds.
“Clan Leader, up ahead there is a Human village. I can smell it.” Said Commander.
Since they have no name, they call with the title. How do they distinguish members? I don't know. They are nameless warriors.
Just as they had appeared on the outskirts of the forest, there were four figures standing in their way.
“Halo, all fighters. How was your trip?” ask a white-haired man.

Laciel, Sarah Hana, Dwi Nadja, and Nameer, moved quickly from the north of the Redwood Forest towards the west side. After living in Blackwood County, Laciel wanted to go to a bigger city.
“No, no. It was too close to the Empire.” Laciel.
“Ara ara, it seems you got scared after I told you about the Empire, Ciel?” Hana speaking.
“Guh, wrong who told you that they might have a Devil detection item?”
“Then, we can stop by March Harbisium.” Nadja doesn't care about their fights. Then, he pointed at a large city, though not as big as a duchy, in the southwest direction of Blackwood County, passing by
Redwood Forest. “Then, we can go to the Royal Capital.” His finger moved again downwards, southeastward from March Harbisium, south of Blackwood County.”
“Hmm, that's good advice. We'll be there then.” Laciel decided. Although I don't know the Empire for a moment, preventing is better than treating. His inner.
Laciel and Dwi Nadja who are a high race, the path is faster than Nameer who is still a High Beast. So, only Hana was riding it. Before traveling far, Laciel also wanted to visit the Red Skull Dungeon managed by Garnamtiar.
There, Nadja nagged about the dungeon's security issues.
“Even a fly will be able to break through all defenses and arrive at the main room!” ocehniah.
Garnamtiar and some of his subordinate Orcs who were named lowered their heads in fear of the scathing words and Dragon aura that Nadja gave off. But, Nadja not only nagged and just went straight away. He also helped improve the strength and security of the dungeon.
In the main room, Nadja activated summon or summoning magic. An amateur does not know how to do it. Even Nadja was only able to a few years ago after studying alone. So, he taught that Orc, Garnamtiar, how to do it. Of course, Laciel was also quietly paying close attention. He intends to practice it later.
Spells recited, magic circles formed. The color purple is lit. That's so beautiful. Can be likened to high-level calligraphy art. And fortunately, it was also the same as the magic system in the Zaenia V game, so Laciel was not too difficult to understand it.
It was a summoning magic skill for the Summoner class. I who is not a Summoner class, can I do it? Thought Laciel. But, this world itself is different. My strength is many times more powerful than when in the game. Supposedly, this kind of thing is not difficult. And again, I need to exemplify how a Demon King behaves in front of his subordinates.
In front of them, Nadja had managed to summon a Dragon and a Lizardman. The summoned dragon is now a little different, probably because Nadja's magic power has increased a lot. The skin of the Dragon was green, yellow wings, wearing clothes like a Priest, and grasping a magic wand. However, the Lizardman he summoned was the same as the one defeated by Laciel. Perhaps because his magic power had already been absorbed to summon the mighty-looking Dragon.
...[.Dragon Call Dwi Nadja]...
...[.Lizardman Call Dwi Nadja]...
“Greetings, Miss. My name is Ygir. I'll always be loyal to you, Nonaku.” He introduced himself. The six horns on his head looked eerie with red tips, and were now facing forward as he lowered his head.
The Lizardman next to him just subdued as usual. Not talking.
