Day 61-70/Day 68

Day 68
At three in the morning we rode in the forest still shrouded in darkness.
Our numbers were small because we needed mobility above all else, I sat on Kumajirou at the lead with only 36 people with me riding their respective Familiars. The rest were in charge of standing guard in the base.
The reason why we're moving at this hour is to launch a surprise attack on one of the human army’s camps which my clones discovered.
The force we are attacking have around 800 people, on our side, if you include the Familiars we have 73, there was a too big of a difference in numbers. Normally speaking, if we attack them head on, we'll be overwhelmed by the sheer difference in numbers.
Even for me, attacking an enemy who is not only is large in numbers, but whose combat abilities I do not completely understand is just too risky.
That's why I chose to attack at night, in the night the situation is in our favor.
If I continue summoning Black skeletons and zombies, there will not be as big of a difference in numbers between us. I can absorb magic power from the darkness, so I'll be able to summon a number normally impossible with my internal supply of magic power.
If it gets dangerous we can simply escape, that's why I chose members while prioritizing mobility above all. It would be extremely difficult for humans who don’t have night vision like us to pursue after us in the dark forest full of monsters.
Therefore, we launched the surprise attack in the night while prioritizing mobility, however, everything ended without us having to retreat. It took us around an hour to completely annihilate them.
The operation went smoothly like this--
→First, We approached the camp secretly under the cover of the night.
→We discovered a barrier made of semi-transparent flames stretching around the camp with some guards patrolling inside.
→I gave out orders to surround the barrier in a circle formation.
→After confirming that everyone were in place, I destroyed the barrier with a spear made using a spell of the [End] magic-system, then Asue-chan surrounded them with a four meters high earth wall.
→Then I signaled the mages. Dhammi-chan, Supesei-san and her mage corps fired the spells they prepared beforehand at the camp, creating many explosions in the process. Because all of the fired spells had a large range, we succeeded in killing several hundred enemy soldiers in an instant.
→I started summoning 10 undeads per second, in addition, I changed the shape of my left arm into a ballista and started firing spears using a spell from the [End] magic-system.
→For several tens of seconds, the undeads continued killing the enemy soldiers unobstructed. Then a silver armored female knight accompanied by a white cleric (man), a crimson swordswoman that have a beast-like aura, and a jet black magician (man) exited the large tent in the center and cleared a portion of the zombies and ordinary skeletons with some elite forces around them.
→They seemed to be the enemy army's commanders from the way they acted, so I sent a large amount of the Black skeletons at them to keep them at bay.
→In the meanwhile, we proceeded to annihilate the enemy soldiers, women were taken as prisoners of war (unless they're too ugly).
→With my halberd in hand on the back of my Hind bear Kumajirou and my Black wolf leader Kurosaburo by our side I rode away to deal with the elite forces. Ogakichi-kun riding his Hind bear followed behind me, Supesei-san sat atop her Hind bear chanting spells. Dhammi-chan was wielding her claymore [Drop of Moonlight] in one hand while using her [Eyes of Bewitchment] on the soldiers, Asue-chan was smilingly swinging her gigantic War pick around, lastly Burasato-san whose figure turned into that of a crimson red knight after getting covered with her victims' blood was controlling 30 blood swords simultaneously.
→I fought against the enemy's main forces centered around the Female knight, the others fought against the remaining elite forces.
→In addition to women, exceptional individuals were taken as prisoners of war and thus the battle ended.
Looking back, it was a very unbalanced battle. No, it's more accurate to say that it was a one-sided battle of humiliation for them.
Well, putting that aside.
All of our damage was shouldered by the undeads, so we didn't have any casualties more than some injuries. As for the enemy camp, except for the women and the exceptional individuals we took as prisoners all the others were killed.
Although most likely no one managed to escape due to the earth wall surrounding the camp, but for insurance I sent the fastest among the Black skeletons, Black skeleton assassins to scout the surroundings and kill any soldier that managed to escape.
They have only until the sun rises to scout for any soldier before they get purified, but because this is only an insurance in the first place, this much will be okay.
We obtained many prisoners, Experience Values and a large amount of armaments from this battle. I got some magical items too, the women can be used for reproductive proposes too.
Since the less fresh the corpses are, the lower the chance of me getting an ability from them, I sorted out the corpses of the elites and ate them on the spot.

This is gre~at.
The results of this battle are very satisfying.
Afterwards, we carried back the prisoners who were put to sleep with a sleeping poison and the loots home. Just like the elves before, aphrodisiacs were administered to the women.
The human males weren't as attractive as the elf males, so I'm planning to have them do manual labor after extracting information from them.
That's why we put slave collars on the men as soon as we got back and imprisoned them together.
My compassion for them is only to "not kill them". Instead I'll be sure to "use them until they die".
While wondering how many days the women can endure their urges I sent a report to Father Elf-san about the results of the battle.
He was very surprised hearing my report. Later on the same day he came with his escorts bringing five barrels of elven wine to celebrate our victory, he probably investigated the report and found out its validity.
I asked him if it's okay for an important figure like him in the « Elves' Village » to leave the village at such a time, but it looks like the humans got a word that one of their division got annihilated too.
After hearing about that, I exchanged a few toasts with him, he left after some time because he was still busy and couldn't stay for a long time. The side dishes the Sisters made were delicious, so I asked for some to be wrapped for him as a souvenir which pleased him.
The drinking party continued till the evening after Father Elf-san and his escorts left.
Before going to my room, I went to check up on the prisoners, when I got there they were already at their limit. Apparently humans are more instinctive than elves, making the results of the aphrodisiac appear faster.
Even the Female knight who was fighting so courageously and proudly seemed like a shadow of herself in the battlefield, she reacted very strongly just because I touched her hand with my finger. The way her body was constantly twitching looked amazing.
Huh? A great nobleman's daughter? hee~, really? But that doesn't mean anything to me now.
After all, I’m not human, I’m an Ogre now.
Humans' circumstances are irrelevant to monsters.
Also, although the prisoners (men) were feeling frustrated by it, their bodies still reacted by nature so I gave some of them to the goblin and kobold females who requested it.
Of course I was Female Knight-san's partner...
