"Fight!" the demon rats chanted as if they were possessed by something.Caleb edged away from the battle crazed rats that happened to be near him as a couple of rats bit and clawed at each other. He should have known that things wouldn't be that simple. Frankly, it was quite scary how bloodthirsty they were as soon as Karen set out to carry out her suggestion. With how vicious the fights were, he didn't dare to volunteer himself.If he went down, he feared he would make a fool of himself and lose the respect they had for him. The only person he could count on to possibly not kill him right off the bat would be Karen, but she was busy supervising the fights since she understood it was important they didn't reduce their numbers. He winced as he saw a demon rat slash at its opponent's eye."System, how likely are we to be found by the heroes?" Caleb asked.[As the heroes have been summoned just recently, they likely won't be leaving the capital until at least six months have passed.]He

Caleb jumped into the air before scurrying away from what he assumed was his enemy. After ducking for cover within the bushes, he dared to peek out from under his cover to see that nothing was there. Confused and unnerved by the turn of events, he refused to come out of his hiding spot as his eyes darted for his mysterious enemy.Several minutes passed, and there was still no activity. He knew he couldn't stay there all day, but he was scared to go out and be ambushed by his unseen enemy. Waiting a bit longer, he knew he couldn't stay there any longer when his stomach growled. All the running had made him hungry, so he reluctantly stepped slowly out of his hiding spot.As soon as he was fully out in the open, he expected to be attacked immediately. However, nothing popped out of the shadows to hurt him. Scanning his surroundings, he couldn't spot anything out of the ordinary. Scratching
The days passed like a blur, and Caleb slowly became more accustomed to the world. Honestly, besides the incident with the demon wolf and demon rat, he had gotten used to being a demon rat, which was quite terrifying. He chalked it up to the system making sure he had no problems with his new body, but that didn't make the prospect any less scary.Surveying the scene in front of him, he was amazed at how much progress they had made. In the beginning, it had been chaos getting them to not kill each other over the slightest thing. Now they only fought each other when it was the designated time and never went too far in a fight. Even though he wasn't actively involved, it certainly helped level up his skills.[Tactician][Level 3][Can read the situation better an
Caleb quickly remedied his mistake and said, "Look. Food. Bring."This time, the demon rats understood what he was saying and went off in separate directions to carry out his orders. They didn't even hesitate or stop to ask questions. Well, the last one wouldn't happen unless it was one of his named followers, and even then they would just stare at him instead of verbally asking their question.Pulling up the map, he studied the movements of all his followers. It was a bit inconvenient that it only showed whether a dot was an enemy, ally, or neutral party. He hadn't realized the problem until much later, when he was trying to use it to find Karen. It couldn't tell the difference between her and the other demon rats, much to his frustration.Of course, when he brought it up with the system, it was unhelpful and only said it couldn't do anything about it.
Of course, the army was hesitant. Caleb didn't expect otherwise. If he were in their place, he would also think he was crazy for ordering them to fight a demon tiger. Even with the large numbers, it wouldn't be easy to fight. The demon tiger was bigger and stronger than them. One swipe could kill them, but he needed to use everything he had, including the army."Find the demon tiger. Report. Plan," he ordered.At first, the demon rats didn't make a move. Then Karen and the other named demon rats took the lead and pushed the other demon rats to search. Watching them go off in separate directions, Caleb looked at the map. He might not be able to identify the dots, but he could make some educated guesses based on what his army did.Many of them passed by red dots, which he immediately assumed weren't the target. Others stopped, and he assumed they had been
Unfortunately, Caleb had no clue where to start. He didn't exactly have a concrete plan to deal with the demon tiger in mind when he sent his army to look for it. At best, he had some faint ideas that he could attempt, but there had been no guarantee that they would work. The only information he had on them was from what he gathered in the game.Demon tigers were essentially like tigers, except slightly better. Other than that, he really didn't have anything else to go on. It would have been better if instead of a demon rat army, they were an army of humans, or at least something stronger. The moment it crossed his mind, he wanted to snap his fingers, if he had any. That was it. It was obvious what he needed to do."Retreat," he commanded as he ran in the direction of the green and red dots heading their way.There was some confusion from the demon rats
