Another week had passed, but yet, there is still no single news from the elite warriors the Galhala King sent to the guardians’ secret hideout.

As he’s getting restless, the Galhala King summoned all of its high-ranked retainers, including the generals, margraves, dukes, and counts of the kingdom. But of course, even though Druid Oz had sent his magic beasts and ‘Jack of All Trades’ secret order to protect the whole kingdom, the prime minister said that it won’t be good to have him there since the topic might get shifted towards him.

Because of Druid Oz’s strength, there will be lots of nobles that will try to make a good relationship with him. And there won’t be some that will want to make him their son-in-law.

Knowing that Druid Oz patiently waits inside his house as he continues to monitor the movement of the demons and continue to search for the demon king’s hidden seal with his summoned insects.

Druid Oz deliberately commands 100 of each insect to stay and focus on breeding to increase their number and speed up the search, while the rest of the summoned insects went outside the kingdom to do various tasks.

Because of the [Druid’s Servant] contract, Druid Oz could see what his summoned insects saw through their eyes, but even so, it’s hard for his brain to capture all of the information, so Druid Oz usually only look at one of the summoned insects from each group.

If there is something that worthy to report, the summoned insects will make a link of telepathy towards Druid Oz and show him what it saw.

“Hm?” Druid Oz.

Druid Oz is currently looking at one of the summoned insects group and saw four demons are wandering near one of the Galhala kingdom’s outskirt villages.

“Finish them,” (Druid Oz)

The group of summoned insects Druid Oz’s monitoring is a group of 100 infernal mosquitos. Even though they could immediately die if they got attacked by a spell or if they got a hit, their agility is terrifying. And together with their boosted intelligence because of the [Druid’s Servant] skill, they got even harder to kill. And since most of the demons use fire magic, the infernal mosquitos won’t die since they’re immune to fire.

They could evade spells and hits easily and their damage came not only from their blood-sucking skills but also their fire magic. When they suck a beast’s blood, they plant a kind of saliva inside the wound and let it went inside the body of their prey, and after several seconds.

*Boom!*

“Good job,” (Druid Oz)

The demons that got ambushed by the infernal mosquitos exploded. One infernal mosquito is terrifying enough, let alone 100 of them. But they are not immortal, after that attack, the group lost 7 of them.

That’s the reason why Druid Oz let some of the insects continue breeding at the ceilings so that they could replenish their number easily. Since, unlike his other magical beast familiars, the summoned insects are easier to die.

“But well, it turns out that the number of the newborn greatly overwhelms the number of the death, though…” said Druid Oz with a wry smile.

The most number of the summoned insects that died each day is 40, while each species could lay 400 eggs a day.

(Well, except for the tarantulas, though) (Druid Oz)

Unlike the other summoned insects, the Electric Tarantula is the hardest one to control. Even though they could survive a day without any of them dying, they only continue their tasks of surveying the land after they finish eating their prey.

They’re a great glutton and they could finish a corpse of a demonized Owlfolk in just three hours. Even though they’re also under the contract of [Druid’s Servant], they’re still difficult to control because of their power and their powerful beastly instinct, just like the bedrock beetles.

But unlike the glutton Electric Tarantula, the bedrock beetles eat just once a day. The only problem with them is that they travel very slowly, and they don’t really like to travel using their wings.

“Really, all I could rely the most on are only the infernal mosquitos and the frost bees,” (Druid Oz)

The frost bees are stronger and smarter than the infernal mosquitos. They could kill a demonized magic beast with only three of their warriors or eight of their workers.

And unlike the other summoned insects, the frost bees had their queen. The queen is tens times stronger and smarter than all of them. I could just give an order towards the queen, and she’ll be the one who lays out the plans and give the orders towards her workers and warriors.

Since the size of the frost bees is about 5 inches while her queen is about 10 inches, they’ll need a huge tree so I grow them a huge tree in the house’s backyard. But it turns out that the colony they made is not the same as the usual bees, they kill the tree and make the whole tree their house.

The huge tree’s inside got dug by the workers and they live inside the huge tree and made it their colony. But they still produce honey called frost honey, their honey is one of Druid Oz’s sources of income here at the Galhala Kingdom. Not just it’s cold and delicious, the dense amount of mana inside it enhances the mana cultivation of those who ate it.

And not just the honey, the bees are loved by the citizens because that the flowers that they harvest pollen and nectars from will have their plants grow faster and have their fruits grow with good quality. When a frost bee worker gathers nectar, it will inject their cool fluids towards the soil that will soften the soil and make it cooler, making the roots of the plants easier to gather water and other nutrients in their form of thanks.

Because of that, there are several people that felt thankful to them and gave them all kinds of food. Since the frost bees are omnivores, they eat what the citizens gave them, and bring them to their queen, and eat them if the queen permits them.

“Somehow… The Galhala Kingdom is getting along rather too well with my familiars, to the point that they even thought of them as their own pets, aren’t they…?” (Druid Oz)

Not only the frost bees but the other magic beasts are also treated very kindly by the citizens. The guards will play together with the frost lions and the flame foxes after they finish the day, and hunt some food for them.

Druid Oz couldn’t help but feel weird since he could see and feel what his familiars went through.

*Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!*

“Ren!!!” Charnia’s voice appeared after the sound of knocking.

“Gor,” Druid Oz ordered Gor to opened the door.

It’s already evening, they usually come to the house and let Charnia play in the morning or afternoon until night. But today, they seem to have lots of agenda since they could only come in the evening.

(Charnia must be having her princess lessons, while Claria must be attending the military meetings of the kingdom since she is one of the highest-ranked general…) (Druid Oz)

“Hello~ Let’s play!!!” Charnia greeted with a very cheerful face. Druid Oz could feel the resolution in her eyes to has great fun together with the small magic beasts.

(T-The lessons must be hard…) (Druid Oz)

“Evening, Ren,” said Claria as she enters the house and immediately approaches the sofa where I am sitting.

“Yo, Claria. How is it gone?” Asked Druid Oz.

“It’s going smoothly. Mother and grandpa easily persuade father about the possibilities you mentioned. So we decided to start taking countermeasures of the worst-case scenario which is we fighting the whole demons in the Eastaria continent alone. The other nobles and generals seem to believe our words too since what you mentioned are very convincing,” Said Claria as she indifferently sits next to Druid Oz.

“I see… That’s good to hear,” (Druid Oz)

“But we’ll still send another group of elite warriors with less number than before just to scout. In the end, we couldn’t help but still have some hope that the guardians will help us, Ren. But this time, the goal is to have them scout there, their lives are put as priorities, they’re instructed to retreat immediately if they sense any danger,” (Claria)

“It’s fine. It’s not like I ask you to don’t hope anything from the guardians. My goal is to minimize the shock if it turns out that the worst-case scenario would actually happen,” (Druid Oz)

“I see… Well, we decided to intensify the training of the kingdom’s warriors. The other generals hoped that you and your magic beasts will participate in strengthening the soldiers,” (Claria)

“I see… Well, I’ll need to go then. My goal is to make the Galhala Kingdom strong enough to fight against the whole continent, after all,” (Druid Oz)
