Became the Queen of the Legion

“Stop them, they’re coming!”

“Wh-where are we supposed to stop them!”

The city descended into chaos not long after the battle began.

Although they weren’t without combat experience, none of those in the city had ever experienced this type of warfare.

“Activate the defense turrets!”

Of course, they weren’t completely swept away like the wild goblin villages. After some time, defense facilities throughout the city began to operate.

[These are the city’s defense turrets]

“Tch, those things that were so annoying even in games…”

Magic power concentrated from large magic stones is fired in the form of magic through engraved spells.

The huge, burning fireball was the size of a small car, and its explosive power turned a radius of several meters into an inferno in an instant.

The queen gritted her teeth as she watched dozens of her soldiers die with each shot from these turrets.

“We’ve breached the city gate. Attack the turrets as a priority.”

The fortunate thing for the queen was that these turrets were the only proper defense facilities in this small frontier city, and even those weren’t very numerous.

There were only four turrets in the north, south, east, and west, and their rate of fire wasn’t that fast.

‘Destroy the turrets.’
And the troops that received the queen’s order all changed their momentum at once and began rushing towards the turrets.

It was enough to surprise the city soldiers who were fighting desperately.

“Im-impossible. They’re rushing towards the turrets!”

Everyone knows the turrets are the only hope. If the turrets fall, the city falls.

“Hurry, run, protect the turrets!”

At Bekins’ urgent prompting, the hastily moving city forces began to engage in fierce urban warfare near the turrets against the enemies rushing in all at once.

However, the turrets couldn’t help them because allies were mixed in.

“It doesn’t matter. No matter how many there are, we won’t lose to these creatures…”

Maur, the hobgoblin knight known as the strongest under Mayor Bekins’ command, gritted his teeth as he swung his sword, splitting the head of a charging monster in half.

The order given to him and his subordinates was to defend this eastern turret at all costs. The other turrets couldn’t be helped. They had to at least protect this one for certain.

“They’re just beasts. If we hold our position, we can endure!”

Maur fought fiercely against the swarming enemies while encouraging his accompanying subordinates.

That was somewhat true. The elite hobgoblin knights held their position firmly and didn’t retreat even when fighting enemies swarming from all directions.

Magic-enhanced weapons broke the enemies’ exoskeletons, and magic cast by mages exploded, taking down multiple enemies at once.

‘Yes. These creatures are just beasts.’

Although his breathing was starting to get rough, Maur, who had already cut down more than 10 enemies alone, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Their strong obsession and destructive power, charging in without fear of death or pain, was terrifying, but ferocity was one of the characteristics of demonic beasts anyway.

If their strategy was just to throw their bodies at them, they could endure as long as necessary.

“Wh-what are these things?!”

“We’re falling!”

Of course, it had to be taken into account that the eastern turret where Maur was located was in an area with difficult terrain, small structures, and complex alleyways intertwined.

The western turret, located on flat ground, was being destroyed by shock troopers with heavy armor, large bodies, and sharp blades swarming from all directions, cutting down all who resisted.

“Kheuk?!”

So a completely different being came to the eastern turret where Maur was.

Maur, who had cut down the enemy’s poisonous needle with his sword, barely deflected a black spear thrust at him in an instant.

“You, what are you!?”

Among the swarming monsters, there was one unique enemy mixed in.

Although it was covered in black leather and exoskeleton like the other monsters, its form was different from the start.

Unlike the grotesquely shaped insects, the female body revealing all the elegant curves of its body even had pale pink hair fluttering.

“This thing…!”

Although the unidentified female didn’t say anything and only gleamed red eyes from inside her mask, Maur had to rethink about this unidentified legion attacking the city just from her presence.

‘They weren’t just a herd of beasts?’

Maur was shocked to see his sword being deflected by her spear and the swirling dark red magic power sweeping away not only his body but also his comrades around him.

“Captain!”

“He-here they come!”

She, trampling on Maur’s dismembered corpse, aimed her spear and charged her troops towards the hobgoblin knights who had lost their center and were disintegrating.

The legion’s common soldiers, rushing past her in an instant, poured down like a wave towards the remaining knights, and the few remaining knights fell, pierced by poisonous needles and claws pouring from all directions.

‘Northern turret neutralized.’

‘Western turret also neutralized.’

‘The south too…’

Seira had come to attack the eastern turret, but even at this moment, she could know in real-time how the war was progressing.

This was because information actively exchanged by the entire hive was constantly coming and going.

In fact, the battle was already over. All turrets were neutralized, and the retreat was blocked in advance.

Except for the few who had escaped the city early, those trapped in this city would essentially fight against the madly rushing monsters until they died.

‘The queen thinks that’s more efficient.’

It’s profitable if we can kill one enemy by sacrificing two soldiers.

Having finished such calculations, the queen was steadily deploying not only the mobilized troops but also additionally produced troops into the city.

“Ugh..?!”

But Seira couldn’t leisurely watch that now.

Since fighting Maur, her body staggered from the thrilling pleasure running down her spine. As if addicted to fighting.

‘It’s clear you’ve done something to my body.’

Naturally, Seira didn’t have the tendency to crave blood and feel pleasure on the battlefield.

Realizing that this unnatural stimulation was clearly the power of the queen integrated with her body now, Seira panted with her face slowly melting as she took off her mask.

“If this continues…”

She could understand it well herself.

No matter how strong her will was, she couldn’t resist once her body’s nervous and hormonal systems were dominated.

She also knew why the queen had done this. It was to become completely one, not just in body but in mind as well.

With the legion that fights endlessly and evolves endlessly.

“The city’s mayor and some demon races are making a final resistance. Why don’t you come and deal with them directly? You should take revenge.”

Amidst all this, the queen’s words echoed in her head.

Revenge, and more slaughter.

Seira’s eyes slowly turned a deeper red as she recalled that.

Was there any reason to resist? Something this thrilling and pleasurable?

“Yes.”

She, who had been just twitching her body with her head down, slowly raised her head.

As the mask gradually covered her, she grinned with a flushed face.

She had already lost her pride as a noble vampire the moment she fell to being a slave of goblins.

She had already received a lot from the queen, and if it felt this good, she thought there was no reason to refuse.

‘Seems she liked it.’

It didn’t take long for Seira’s heart to become one with us.

The system’s certification popped up, so the effect must be certain.

Making her feel good was indeed the right decision.

Seira must be addicted to the thrilling pleasure bursting in her brain every time she kills an enemy.

“The battle is almost over too.”

I swung the tentacle extending from my hand and pierced the neck of an orc warrior who was resisting to the last.

Including the southern turret area where I am now, the main areas of the city have already fallen into our hands. All that’s left are a few remnants holed up in the city center.

To clean them up too, I led the remaining troops towards the center.

“Pl-please spare our lives!”

“What are you doing now? Begging for your life to those insects?! Do you think they’ll understand?!”

The remaining ones were in panic. While many were trying to resist to the end, there were even stupid ones who had lost their minds and were prostrating themselves on the ground, begging my soldiers.

“They’re planning to kill and eat us all!”

What the hobgoblin who looked like the leader was shouting up front was correct.

I intended to leave no survivors in this city.

There was neither reason nor luxury to do so.

“That one is Mayor Bekins. His lord is also acquainted with my enemy.”

“Then I’ll give you the chance to take that hobgoblin’s head.”

I smirked at Seira’s words as she returned to my side after completing her mission.

Now, even without my explicit order, I could feel her emotion of wanting to rush out and fight the enemy right away.
