Hoarding in Hell Novel

"Kirson, Kazat!"

Difficulty: Upon entering Hell, Hyunmoo immediately summoned the two families that he could handle most easily.

The two squealed out of the dark crevice at the same time, and when they bumped into each other, they growled at each other.

The expansion of the shelter was going smoothly thanks to the ratmen who were accustomed to working underground, but the ratman and the goblin did not get along very well from the beginning.

"Kazat, are you controlling the ratmen well?"

"Yes. Great man."

Unlike the goblins, the ratmen were a little dissatisfied with Hyunmoo.

Goblins absolutely obey Kirson, and also obey Hyunmoo, whom Kirson obeys.

But ratmen are different.

Hyunmoo had neither total fear nor submission to them. Because he can't bring them all into his family. But strangely, Kazat controlled those ratmen without any problem.

"Yeah? How are you doing?"

"One per day, one public accusation of those who dishonor the great is given to the rats a devouring punishment. It is now fully established as a system."

"Goblins too?"

"We are actively listening to their accusations, but no complaints have been captured so far. Of course, none of the ratmen have expressed any dissatisfaction, but as a warning, we plan to select and execute a random accused person."

Surveillance between neighbors. It is rolling into a great totalitarian society.

But Hyunmoo was against running the organization in such a horrendous and ghastly way.

"Kazat, you're doing great, but doing that will openly reveal that there are rebels against me. So, I think it would be better to create a secret police or something like that, and let anyone know and handle it without anyone knowing. You shouldn't look dissatisfied with the organization. We have to make sure nobody believes it's a happy, healthy organization with no complaints."

"Great advice. Great man."

I was looking at Kirsson with a tired expression next to me, but I wondered if a goblin was better. In any case, on a topic that was only about tribal society.

"We're not that big yet, so I think that's enough. Anyway, that's about it, and there's something I wanted to ask you guys."

Hyunmoo pointed to Kirsson first.

"Kirson, what made you rise from a Red Cap Goblin to a Hobgoblin?"

[Hobgoblin Kirson (LV 32)]

Kirson's level and tribe name had obviously changed abruptly. At that time, it was thought that it was because of that by killing the hungry, but it is not surprising that the name of the tribe was also changed.

Kirsson tilted his head as if hearing an unexpected question.

"Boss, I didn't know such a half-pun would ask the same question."

"Watch out to the Great One, you cheeky bastard. Do you think the Great One doesn't know such a thing? This question is meant to remind you who gave you the power! Answer it with humility."

"Yeah. That's it."

Hyunmoo nodded his head at Kazat's words. Kirsson looked at Hyunmoo with a questionable expression."...From what I've seen with the boss so far, it doesn't seem like it... but let me tell you first, it's because the power contained in the Star Shards has increased. The clan grows stronger as the fragments become more complete and the master's power grows stronger. "

Hyunmoo became more puzzled by Kirsson's answer.

Kirson was a member of Ghaul, who was much stronger than himself. So shouldn't he have been something he couldn't handle in the first place?

"But not all families are of the same family. Depending on the name given, the frequent calls from the master, the fulfillment of the master's orders, how long they have been served, and how much power they receive from fragments, each family is different depending on all of them. But it's hard to attract the attention of the stars on my own."

Kirsson smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"In other words, the background is cooler than when you were under the ghoul, but the treatment you receive when you are on the edge of a snake's head is better than when you're under dragon scales. right?"

After all, if the stars just want their personality to match, they don't hesitate to take them into the family.

Difficulty: Tutorial point, no, I'd say it's easy now. Anyway, at the time, it seems that the selection was quite difficult, but now it seems to be easy.

It must be a change of strategy.

Hyunmoo nodded his head. The increase in Kazat's ability seemed to be in the same vein.

'If you take it into the family, you become stronger. And the sooner the better.'

If so, it is highly likely that this will work for humans as well.

Then, there was only one concern left for Hyunmoo.

'… … Who should I kill?'

***

[Quest occurs!]

[The Coming Threat] quest begins.]

[Defeat 100 Orcs.]

The quest started before the troubles were over. Hyunmoo was puzzled when he heard the quest conditions.

"100 Orcs?"

Orcs are rare, but have been caught. Difficulty: In the tutorial, the Orc is a bit more difficult than the Goblin, but he doesn't get around much in groups, so he's an easy foe to catch.

That prejudice also worked in Difficulty: Hell. The Orcs were huge, up to 2m tall, boasting massive muscles, but they didn't have the right equipment or party. He was in his early 30's, so he wasn't too concerned about it.

"Well, it's nice that it's simple."

As the difficulty level is low, I am worried that the rewards will be low, but it also provides a level-up opportunity. If you catch 100 of them, your level will rise quite a bit.

"Kirson, where do the most orcs live around here? I only see one or two wandering around every day."

Kirsson's expression became subtle.

"The reason why you're looking for orcs... it seems like it's a quest or something like that. Does it take only that kind of thing to choose?"

"Why are you dissatisfied again? It's because Boss Negu isn't terribly unlucky. If you were lucky, you wouldn't have even met you. Don't spread rice cakes and just talk quickly. Do you hate orcs?"

"I wonder if such a quest has appeared now..."

Kirsson sighed, pulled out a map, and pointed to one side.

Although it was quite a distance out of range, it was an area included in Kirson's reconnaissance area. There was also a picture of a pig that Kirsson had drawn sloppily.

"Are you an orc after all? Why are you being so serious?"

“There are no orc villages nearby. The orcs I see occasionally are deserters and stragglers. So it is natural for the boss to think of orcs as merciful. But orcs are not like that. Each one of them is a heavenly soldier with tremendous strength, tenacity, and a sense of purpose, with no weapons that can't handle anything from cold weapons to automatics."

"Wait, automatic machine? Do you use a gun?"

"Ah, those noisy, crude weapons of humans. As I said. Orcs don't have weapons they don't use. Of course, geeks use stuff like that, but they also use guns. Mainly, uh, for taunting enemies from a distance."

There was an expectation that an itemized gun might have been developed for a while, but the handling of the gun seems to be similar here as well.

But Hyunmoo got a little serious.

Hyunmoo is human. Unlike monsters, guns exert their proper power against humans.

If they were scratching with automatic rifles, they might not even be able to pluck the bones.

"You said shooters are a different breed? Well, maybe one or two at best."

"Well, it depends on the case."

Kirsson said, tapping the spot he had touched earlier with his finger.

"It's the only place you can find a lot of orcs. They're new a few days ago, but they don't look like deserters, they look like a decent reconnaissance team. They're heavily armed, well-stocked, and well-armed. Maybe the boss is an opponent. It will be different from the deserters I used to do.”

***

Orc scouts were loitering in the middle of the road.

The Orcs were armed with heavy armor and heavy weapons that seemed to have been picked up from here and there instead of a uniform outfit. They looked like seasoned mercenaries.

Hyunmoo watched the scene from a distance and whispered to Kirsson who was next to him.

"Is it them? But why did you suddenly appear?"

"Orcs don't usually come here. Perhaps... the fall of the Fallen Empire may have piqued their curiosity. If it was normal, they would have been checked by the Ratman Scouts before coming this far."

Hyunmoo watched one of them. Unless I'm mistaken, he was carrying two recoilless guns on his back and carrying a box with him.

Looking closely, it didn't look like it was made by orcs. Although it is large, it is the size for a human being. It looked like it had been picked up from somewhere.

"What should I do? You said you were only doing reconnaissance today, so why don't you wait for it to pass?"

Hyunmoo looked at them for a moment and then shook his head.

The direction they were going was the crossroads. Of course, you can change direction as you go, but it is difficult to even find a shelter.

And above all, Hyunmoo was sick of leveling up.

"Let's catch it and kill it."

Kirson sighed and disappeared somewhere. He would have moved to a good position to launch a surprise attack.

Hyunmoo also began to move quietly.

After a while.

An orc walking in the lead stumbled over something. The orcs behind him tried to ridicule him, but they were frightened by the screams that erupted and looked at his condition.

"Kwiik, there is something!"The legs of the fallen orcs were equipped with steel gaiters. But now it had melted into something and was seriously hurting his leg.

The orcs found that the red thread lying low was broken. The leg of the fallen orc was now rotting, causing dark blisters instead of small wounds.

[Poison Blood: Expression of Acidity]

The moment one of the orcs reached out to examine the wound, his hand began to swell.

[Poison Blood: Expression of Contagious Characteristics]

The orc's screams resounded through the ruins. The Orcs looked around with anxious expressions.

Difficulty: In Hell, shouting loudly, even screaming, is a call to higher-level predators.

The orc, who appeared to be the leader, hurriedly waved his hand. The Orcs immediately rushed in and killed those who were allies in an instant.

"There may be some remnants of the ratman nearby, Quik. Be careful and step back."

The orcs began to go back the way they came uneasy. But another orc tripped over something. This time the same wound occurred. My legs started to rot.

Only then did the orcs realize that they had entered too deeply.

'But you can't completely catch it with a trap alone.'

Hyunmoo, who was watching in the dark, pulled out his tom.

The widow spider's web was smeared with poisonous blood to prevent them from escaping.

As long as there is blood, it will be red, so you can spot it if you are careful, but it will be difficult to run away blindly.

Hyunmoo threw a hell dart at the first orc who seemed to be the leader, and ran out in an instant. At the same time, Kirsson also appeared.

"Goblin!", "Human!" The same shout came out at the same time, but the commanding officer orc was stabbed in the throat by Tom.

"Quiyik!"

“This is not right.”

The Captain Orc was excited and pushed Hyunmoo away. His neck was incredibly thick.

He didn't expect to cut it, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't die even though a hole was drilled. But that was enough for him.

The Captain Orc tried to shout at Hyunmoo, but no voice came out. He couldn't even breathe.

Hyunmoo's poisonous blood caused blisters and began to block the airway. The Captain Orc fell with his hands on the floor.

But it seemed that he would take a long time to die.

The Orcs responded hastily even without any instructions. Five orcs in their 30s. It was never an easy situation.

But when Hyunmoo was at a disadvantage, he knew how to increase his side.

"Kill them all."

[Poison Blood: Parasitic Characterization]

The Captain Orc suddenly had a seizure. The gnome opened his eyes and ran towards the orc next to him.

The Orcs were suddenly taken aback when the Captain Orc attacked them, but they were already used to abandoning their comrades. However, after being bitten by the chief orc, the orc with the blisters that stayed in its mouth attacked the other orcs again.

Hyunmoo and Kirsson took advantage of the chaos and lightly cooked the orcs.
