Alros is lying on a bed. He had rented a room per usual, even if he rarely, if ever used the commodity of the inn, preferring to stay inside the system space.
While he would return to the system space sooner, for the moment, he is resting as he is busy digesting the swath of knowledge he foolishly crammed inside his head.
"I should really think this through," he muttered, massaging his head. Though his current condition is due to his own action, he did not regret it one bit.
"Ow," ok, maybe he regret it a bit. However, the information, albeit the more common one, he manage to glean about the Duchy would be invaluable during his stay.
He manage to learn the Duchy is merely a century old nation, one founded by a noble from a nearby Tier 3 Nation, the Ravus Kingdom.
The area was conquered by the noble's force, who manage to subjugate and conquer the area. With the consent of the King of the Kingdom, the noble's title was changed to a Duke, with the territory he conquered being a vassal of the Ravus Kingdom.
As a vassal, the Duchy need to pay some tributes, in return of receiving the protection of being the vassal of the Kingdom. Given they have the authority to form their own rules and govern the area of the Duchy, it is a win-win scenario for the Duchy.
After a century after it's founding, the Duchy possess might equal to the lower rank Tier 2 Nation, even though they are just a vassal nation.
While they could not compare to the Astor Kingdom and Torim Kingdom, they are as strong as Bertrum Nation, or at least should be able to put up a fight.
"I should head deeper from the get go," he said to himself, "Subduing the humanoid monsters would allow me to gain SP when they killed the adventurers. I don't even need to bring them with me, just let them move as usual, and I will have scores of adventurers killed,"
Smiling at his ingenious idea, other ideas formed in the recesses of his mind, "Not to mention, I should just grab a large group of Lamia, Arachne and Golems. Those are the monsters that will be helpful. Cave Bears, Cave Wolves, and Giant Cave Spiders are not that helpful, besides, I can always get them inside Lunos Forest.
Meanwhile, Cave Bats seem useful. Maybe I subdue one or two and see if they are any good," he mumbled.
"Some Slimes can be added as well. They should be the same as the one in Lunos Forest, and I can always have more demonic variant slimes," he uttered. While the regular Slimes are not that helpful aside from being a distraction and cannon fodder, the same could not be said about the elemental and demonic variant, which are helpful in their own way.
"So, that is the plan. No capturing the Cave animals except for the bats. I should also focus more on the stronger monsters to subdue, and left them in the caverns until it is time for me to go," he clapped his hands, his plan forming nicely.
Now he knew what he will do tomorrow, he should focus on what he will do tonight, or to be exact, who he will do tonight.
At the moment, the portal to the system space opened, which allow him to peer to the other side. He immediately spotted his women, all of them in erotic and very enticing clothing, giving him seductive look.
He climb inside the portal, leaving a clone in his room to keep the pretense of him being here, the clone having both Transformation and Illusion. While normally the clones would grumble of having to get Covering Duty, they no longer do so when he let them have fun during the day before they have to cover for him.
Considering his limp dick, and some liquid staining his member, the clone had been busy, and unlikely able to have another go. Then again, when they are allowed to do with any of the women with the sole exception being the B-rankers, it is not much of a surprise for their dick to no longer be able to rise during the night.
