The overflowing magical energy that spread across the sky of Marquess Rommel’s residence signified a work contract between me and the stealth slime swarm.

Through the Soul Tame magic spell formation, I formed a shared voice and visual communication network like a communication used by the Yurification System.

The stealth slimes bonded with Soul Tame one by one and connected to the Yurification System’s main network.

[ Yurification System: You are currently connected to an entity with no gender. The sacred blessing of the Yurification System will be suspended because the entity is not female! ]

My Soul Tame magic chant has been attached to all the remaining stealth slimes.

My Yurification System’s blessing seems to not affect this stealth slime swarm.

Well, I’m not too sad because they are monsters that are difficult to determine their gender. Even to distinguish between male and female stealth slimes, I don’t know the difference at all.

Paasshhh...

The flash of my magic spell that exploded above the sky of Marquess Rommel’s residence slowly disappeared and was replaced by the night sky.

Wiisshhh...

Using another magic chant in controlling Soul Tame magic, I immediately formed several transparent glass mirrors that contained several views of the stealth slimes that had been connected to the Soul Tame network.

Thanks to the transparent glass, I could adjust the views of several stealth slimes that would serve as observers and broadcast the situation directly to me.

"You..."

"Youuu..."

"And youuu will serve as my second eyes. You see this transparent glass that reflects your vision, right? Move according to the instructions I give in the Soul Tame network!"

I pointed to three stealth slimes who would serve as my second eyes on the battlefield that was about to occur.

"For the time being, you all will be under my leadership!"

"Work well in this humiliation!"

My words may sound cruel but it is equivalent to the response given by the stealth slime herd who praise me as their strict and harsh leader.

"We have lost troops and wasted time in vain because of your carelessness."

"Now, let’s try to fix the carelessness you have done!"

"All stealth slime troops immediately dispatch and surround your own cave!"

"Before I give the order directly! Don’t make any stupid moves that will make you die in vain!" I snapped at them in a high tone. My throat felt very itchy when I did that.

I was getting more and more unaccustomed to having to speak in a loud tone like this.

Booinngg ....

"Yes, understood, Commander!"

Pooingg...

"We are ready to accept this humiliation with our blood!"

Booiingg ....

"We are ready to accept the sins we have committed with the previous shameful failure!"

Booingg... Pooinngg...

My thoughts that were connected to the slime’s stealth communication network were automatically translated by the Soul Tame magic formation.

I don’t know what the Great Hero in the past was thinking, this is one of the most useful magic spells when wanting to understand a monster’s mind because their thoughts are directly connected by the caster.

Oh, before I learned this magic formation. I had read a warning about people going crazy when trying to use this magic formation on high-level monsters that have a large magic core capacity.

There was a small warning about the side effects of dizziness when the Soul Tame magic formation was successfully performed.

I had read some sarcasm from the Great Hero who laughed at the intelligence of the royal wizard who was so stupid to register the Soul Time magic formation into the list of spells that were prohibited from being published in magic books.

After experiencing what the royal era wizard in the past timeline was worried about, I realized that the communication bound to the Soul Tame magic formation was in the mind of the caster. That’s what makes some young wizards go crazy after hearing the voices of monsters or animals that have been bound by the Soul Tame magic spell.

If I think about it, it’s all my Goddess’ fault!

[ Eh? Why is it suddenly my fault here, Lily-chan? ]

My Goddess suddenly interrupted my inner voice and let out a small protest from her words that disturbed my mind.

[ Lily-chaaann... what have I done? ]

[ Have I done something wrong to you? ]

[ So far I haven’t done anything wrong that invites your anger, right? ]

[ Please answer me, Lily-chan! ]

[ I don’t want to be hated by my own Saintess... ]

[ Hiks! Lily-chaaann!! ]

Yes, maybe this is the answer that allows me to do the Soul Tame magic formation easily.

Direct communication between my Goddess and myself occurs in my mind. Listening to a group of stealth slimes chatting in my mind doesn’t make my head spin.

As the Great Hero said in the past, they are just mentally weak wizards who are easily offended when their old-fashionedness is touched by a hard fact.

"Haahhaa... this is going to be a long night," I said with a cold smile as I stared at the departure of the group of stealth slimes who were heading to their battlefield.

"It seems I have to get ready for the commander’s seat," I immediately turned around and walked towards the gazebo.

Earl Timoti and Mio seemed to be tidying up something on the small table located in the middle of the gazebo. Some dinner had been prepared by Mio without moving the topographic map that was on top of it.

"Good evening, Commander Lily!"

"Your dinner rations have been prepared, allow me to serve you a plate filled with your supporting food for tonight’s attack operation."

Mio greeted my arrival with a smile on her face.

Her attitude that followed my mood had made my face turn red with embarrassment. Explore stories on empire

"Ahem! No need to go that far, Mio," I said to suppress my embarrassment after Mio played a adjutant character role that surprised me.

Earl Timoti who was near the table containing the topographic map had noticed my arrival and prepared the tactical wooden blocks that would be the movement markers on the battlefield.

"Commander Lily, I am ready to be your CO in tonight’s attack."

"I must say this is the first time I have enjoyed a heart-pounding night battle like this."

"Are you ready to give your best tactics to guide the herd of stealth slimes that will enter the Golden King Bear’s area?"

With an alert attitude and agile movements, Earl Timoti had transformed into a mature man who was working seriously. His military uniform had returned to being neat as if he was on duty at the back line of battle regulating the tactics of the battle.

[ Hiks... Lily-chaann... are you still angry with me? ]

I suddenly heard the voice of my Goddess who seemed to have stopped crying.

[ Does Lily-chan still hate me? ]

[ Have I done something wrong that made you ignore my words? ]

[ Lily-chaaann... ]

I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

My thoughts were now divided into three main things, like the communication created by the Soul Tame magic chant, my direct communication with the Goddess, and my current situation of chatting in the small gazebo.

First of all, I am not angry or sulking at you, my Goddess.

Oh! If possible, can my sweet Goddess be quiet for a while?

I want to focus on the two things left in my mind. If my Goddess joins in talking, I will easily lose my concentration.

[ Hiks... Lily-chaann... ]

Take it easy, my Goddess.

I will show you that this role-playing game will make your heart beat faster because the opponent of the stealth slime is a monster with high intelligence worthy of being the leader of the bear monsters. It will be fun to be watched, right?

"Thank you for your help, Earl Timoti."

"Let us immediately deliver this victory for my goal of getting some extra pocket money."

Responding to the strong determination radiated by Earl Timoti’s eyes, I immediately sat down on one of the chairs available in the gazebo and observed the topographic map that had been filled with wooden blocks.

Earl Timoti’s gaze was fixed on the view provided by the stealth slime. Adjusting their viewpoint, Earl Timoti immediately placed their location accurately on the topographic map.

Tapp…

Tapp…

The wooden blocks that marked the location of the stealth slime group had moved closer to the entrance of their cave which was now guarded by four ordinary bears.

"Four ordinary bears guarding the entrance of the cave, what do you think, Earl Timoti?" I asked Earl Timoti who was looking at the transparent glass containing the viewpoint of the stealth slime.

"Isn’t that an easy opponent, Commander Lily," Earl Timoti replied as he placed the red wooden blocks that marked the enemy’s position on the topographic map.

"Yeah, they’re easy enemies if only the stealth slimes could do a surprise attack that could kill them in one hit," I replied with a mumble and took one of the dinners that Mio had prepared.

Nomm… Nomm…

I took a small bite and chewed on my dinner that Mio had adjusted to be edible in this emergency.

Gluupp…

After swallowing a bite of my dinner, my focus immediately shifted to the four stealth slimes that had been moving around the cave entrance.

"I don’t know your names, from now on I will designate your names with numbers through the instructions I give."

"First, slime one and slime two will silence the two bears on the right."

Then followed by slime three and slime four by using your small magic cores to cast your Water Cut magic spells!’

"For the remaining two bear monsters, do as I instructed earlier with the closest stealth slime!"

Following the command I gave out loud, I could see the eight stealth slimes sneaking up to carry out a surprise attack.

Thmmooppp…

Sllasshh...

Thhomopp...

Sllashhh…

...

...

Right in Earl Timoti’s sight, he saw a herd of stealth slimes working together to carry out a surprise attack.

A slime that silenced the bear monster’s head with its slimy and airtight slime body until its head was separated with a sharp scratch from the basic magic spell Water Cut owned by the stealth slime.

"Good move! Maintain your actions according to the instructions I gave!"

Showing a cold smile, I could feel Ciel and Sia staring at me intensely. Their tails and their blushing facial expressions made my body’s instincts alert.
