I sighed. I felt that my role as a demon lord is nothing but a pain. I stood up from my seat and stretched my back. I didn't know how long my physical body had stayed seated like that. 

URGENT QUEST:

CREATE A LEGION WITHIN 1 HOUR

FAILURE PENALTY : ??????????????

REWARD : None

TIME LIMIT : 00:59:23

A window popped out all sudden. Normally, quest without rewards are something i wouldn't do but the penalty was something i must avoid at all cost. I closed the window and opened my inventory. I selected 9 summoned characters from my inventory and summon them. 

Nine people began manifesting from 9 magic circles appearing in front of me. They were kneeling on their knees at me like loyal subordinates. Each of them had different race, characters, and abilities but there was something common they have which was disturbing me, they were summoned on their birthday suit.

I wanted to give them a proper attire first but I'm short on time. I moved my hand to choose the Legion Option. I chose [Create Legion] and began rewriting the concept i had planned beforehand.

LEGION NAME : ZODIAC BRAVES

NUMBER OF SEAT : 12

MEMBER LIST: 0/12

TITLES : 

[THE BULL] : [STR +15%]

[THE GOAT] : [INT + 15%]

[THE RABBIT] [LUCK+15%]

[THE PIG] : [VIT+15%]

[THE DOG]  [STR 5% ; VIT + 5%; AGI+5%]

With this i finished the designing. I pressed the [Process] button and the window for the member list and promotion appeared. Without any hesitation, I put all of my subordinates into the legion registry. I also assigned the titles to each of them.

I pressed the finishing button and a new window popped out of nowhere.

AS YOU HAVE CREATED THE FIRST CUSTOMIZED LEGION WITH MANY TITLES, THE TITLE HOLDERS WILL RECEIVE LV+50!!

YOU HAVE CREATED A LEGION COMPOSED OF NON-HUMAN MEMBERS. VARIABLE EVOLUTION WILL BE EXECUTED!!

When the last announcement popped out of nowhere, my subordinates were wrapped in light. Their form somehow changed and gave more majestic form. When the light dissipated, two figures entered the cave in hurry.

They were Blade and Mark. There was almost no difference on them but i knew that they had become stronger.

They joined the other 'naked' subordinates and knelt as they did. 

"You can raise your head."

I said. My subordinates raised their head. I quickly threw some rags for them covering their bodies for now.

"Cover your body first. I will formally state your roles after this."

I said. Nobody answered. The one who was the closest to me, Trull, picked the piles of rags and gave the rags for everyone who had no proper outfit. I ignored the rustling sound as i browsed my inventory. 

"I will state the members roles. The first will be Sora the Horse Brave. He's currently not here. I have assigned him to guard my daughter right now. He's the first subordinate i have and he has the highest level among you."

I said.

"Now, i will give each of you equipment, supplies, and mission. Anyone i called stand up and come to me."

I declared. I tapped few equipment from the inventory and materialize them.

"Shade"

I called a name. 

"Yes!!"

A slender man with pitch black scales covering his neck, torso, waist, and arms stood up. His black hair looked neat and he had shining golden eyes of a reptile.

Shade walked forward. I handed him some clothes, R class Robe with recognition inhibition, Two daggers, a kusarigama, few sets of throwing knives, a magic bag, and several poison and potions.

"Wear this for your mission. I decreed to you to investigate the dark side of the human territory. Your mission will be to gather intel regarding the Maximillian Rebels, The corrupt nobles of every country, and dark dealings within it. Report to me once a week, but if there's an urgent matter, report to me right away. I also order you to assassinate any target i want him or her to die. As for the targets, i will tell you through the Legion Channel later."

I said.

"As your wish, My Lord."

Shade received my equipments and returned to his previous spot. I began selecting another set of equipments.

"Frigate"

I called another name. A demon stood up. He had a pair of goat horn growing on his head. He has a muscular humanoid body and fair skin. His wavy silver hair was looked untidy as his tired expression made him looked like an old man. His eyes was looked like goats and it gave an eerie feeling somehow.

I handed him ordinary clothes for nobles and a ash colored robe. I added several vials of potions, an SR Class Cane, and Magic Rings filled with defensive spells. To cover his identity, i gave him a bracelet which will camouflage his outer appearance and mask which will hide his face and status.

"Frigate, i decreed you to infiltrate the magic country, Arondite. Apply for the position of high rank mage of the mage association and gather some intel regarding the movement of the country, And if possible, i want you to gain some authority from it for me to use later."

I said.

"Consider it as done, Your Majesty."

He said confidently. I resumed browsing on the equipments and materialized it. Frigate already returned to his spot.

"Blade, Mana"

I called two names. Blade stood up and walked forward gallantly and proudly in his full equipped form. Mana stood up timidly with her child-like figure and walked forward. Mana was a young winged kin. She had short blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. Her timid personality and her child-like stature gave an urge to hug and protect her all the time. Her pair of white wings gave a sacred feeling  of an angel.

I handed Mana a set of one-piece dress and children clothes, Several potions, protective R Grade Earring, a magic bag, a holy flute and a holy harp. I wanted to gave her a violin but it was a shame that i don't have one.

I gave Blade several spare weapons, camping tools for two, magic bag, and a R grade katana.

"I order two of you to go find the Hero of Courage and Train with her. I want you to give her the katana i handed you just now when you think she was worthy of it. Gain plenty of levels and strength until i say it's okay to return with her. Mana, watch over these two for me and act as their manager."

I said.

"As your command."

"I've heard your wish."

THey said in unison. They returned to their original position.

"Trull, Billy"

I called two names. Two men with quite large weight stood up and walked to me. Trull was a mutated Gnome with the height reaching 2 and half meters. He had muscular build and fierce bald face. His bulging stomach made him looked like an armed daruma or something like that. Billy was also a large fat man. His size however was larger than Trull. He was 3 meters tall.

"I order both of you to Tristain Region as a blacksmith and weapon merchant. Gather intel from the adventurers and military personnel regarding the demon's movements."

I said.

"Yes, Master."

Both of them responded together. THey returned to their previous spots. I sighed in relieve as i managed to hold in my urge to vomit. Watching Night-san was quite traumatic but these two naked darumas are way another level. I cleared my throat and materialized the items i selected.

"Mark, Flo, Callisto"

I called three names.

Mark marched forward. Flo readjusted her rags and followed him. Callisto just stood up with his rags tied on his waist like a towel. Flo was a dog kin beastman. She had slender figure and timid looks. She had medium build and flat chest. Her hair was cut on shoulder length and her long dog ears were flopping downward.

"I order three of you to act as 'Adventurer' in the regions around Maximillian until the royal family regained their kingship. When the territory was reclaimed move into the kingdom and assist the rebuilding as adventurers. Also, i wish both of you to 'slaughter' any bandits in sight, finish all bandit subjugation missions, and completely annihilate any bandit nest you find. Kill the illegal slave traders in sight. Kill any bounty with serious crime and capture the light ones. Protect the weak people in my stead and gain high fame."

I ordered.

""As your command.""

They said in unison. They returned to their previous spot. 

"Karina, Fianna"

I called the last members of the Braves. Two young ladies stood up. Both of them had big bust and slender waist. The small rag was barely enough to cover them and i was at lost where to look.

I already have Alicia.I already have Alicia.I already have Alicia.I already have Alicia.I already have Alicia.I already have Alicia.I already have Alicia.I already have Alicia.I already have Alicia.

I recited within my head continuously.

Karina was a girl with tall stature, fair skin, brown eyes, long red hair,  She looked at a normal human girl if not for her unnatural great charismatic aura and excessively large amount of mana. Fianna was an Elf. She had a body of a gravure model of a porn magz. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes.

I said.

"Your wish is my order."

Both of them said in unison. After they returned to their spots, i dismissed them. I told them that we will depart in two hours.
