After Rimuru briefly introduced the six major departments of the monster town to Crounpis, he added a few words: "Also, because most of the way to obtain food is hunting, I want to cultivate fields but there is no source of crops.
So when guarding against invasion, the security department also took care of the food preparation."
Crownpis discovered a blind spot: "Isn't there no agriculture and animal husbandry? I remember that the goblins have things like picking wild potatoes and tea leaves. Even if there are no domestic animals, with your strength, you can capture them and raise them in captivity. Look.
I know that the costumes of ghosts require a little bit of technology from another world, can’t they do it?”
"Keiren's hometown has been destroyed. We are working hard here, but we can't scale it yet. All these things take time, but we encountered something like this." Rimuru said helplessly.
"But put these little things aside in advance. Since there is a meeting, it should be considered that the scouts sent out will be back soon. But I don't think anyone other than the ghosts is qualified for such a task. Aren't they all in the town?
"
Rimuru felt a little confused, as if Cronpis knew that the big demon had been wiped out and only six people were left, but there shouldn't be any other reason. Maybe Ultima used [Missing Wave] to communicate between monsters.
】You should have told her your ability in advance.
"Souei has a clone skill that allows him to go to distant places to investigate. It's very convenient." Rimuru explained directly. This skill is often displayed, so it's not a secret.
What also made Rimuru a little embarrassed in front of Clawnpis was that there was no conference room for a meeting, so he had to temporarily clear out the largest house in town and put in a big table and a lot of chairs and benches.
Rimuru felt that Crounpis, who had come from afar, should know more about it, so he wanted to ask, but as soon as he sat down, he took a booklet from Ultima and started reading it intently.
Anyway, let’s listen to Souei’s report after he recovered his clone.
The content is roughly divided into three parts:
1. The status of other monster communities;
2. The conditions of the wetlands that the enemy is about to pass through;
3. Enemy intelligence and investigation of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Souei's mission, in addition to reconnaissance, is to win over allies through conversation as much as possible. Although it is easy to make other monster groups succumb with Souei's strength, there is no cohesion among the people gathered in this way.
As a result of the investigation, the largest number of goblins in this forest, about 6,000, have taken refuge with the lizard man Gaviru just now - the stupid man who not long ago wanted to take the monsters in this town as his own, but was killed instantly.
Guy, still very complacent.
Rimuru wanted to say: Is it okay to take refuge in that kind of guy?
In addition, there are some communities where about 300 goblins and imps expressed their willingness to form an alliance with Rimuru. In each community, there are one to five monsters that have been named and evolved. In Souei's opinion, the degree of evolution is much stronger than the evolution.
His former self is only slightly weaker than his evolved self. The representative ones are Brooklyn from the Goblin royal family, Fresno from the Goblin family, and Fargo and Juno from the Goblin family.
Rimuru thought to himself that no matter how they looked, they all looked like cruisers. Is it an illusion?
Souei also visited a group of lizardmen whose comprehensive strength of monster power is currently second only to Rimuru, and found that the leader of the lizardmen was different from the previous idiots. He was very open-minded and willing to form alliances. He also named the monster, named Averu, with great strength.
Not bad. Although not as good as him, it can definitely be used as a reliable combatant when fighting against the pig-head tribe in the wetland at home.
Souei asked about the named character and learned that she was a beautiful blond girl with black wings on her back. A demon wearing a mask also came, but he was driven away because of his arrogant attitude.
In fact, the beautiful blond girl also approached the Great Ghost Tribe, but they were already proud and did not accept the blond girl's suggestion of a name. They had already warned that Veldora's disappearance might cause an invasion by foreign tribes and that it was necessary to increase their power.
Same thing.
Even if the big ghost clan has been warned and yet they are exterminated? Even if the enemy is a huge number of pig-headed clan, they are outnumbered. With the big ghost clan's ability, even if they can't defeat them, if they are prepared, they can move and evacuate. It should be said about them.
Originally I thought too highly of myself or something, but now it's useless to regret it.
That masked devil might have the devil's support behind him to destroy the great ghost clan.
The beautiful blond girl who took the lead was probably Picosi, who came with Ultima and said hello before leaving on the day Ultima arrived.
Since he wanted to name monsters on a large scale, Rimuru hoped that since he wanted to help some monsters, he could do it more thoroughly, but he ended up in the current situation where he was neither good nor bad.
"Report. It is speculated that this is not unconditional help to monsters, but to promote the process of survival of the fittest."
[The Great Sage] said so. So, being able to refuse the names of other demons and the "olive branch" thrown by the stupid lizard messenger in times of crisis is not only a matter of strength, but also requires vision and determination. In Pico
Nishi seems to be naming monsters based on the so-called standard of "you don't become strong by being strong, but you become strong by being qualified to be strong".
Rimuru said that he couldn't learn from it. He was naive, but not naive enough to support himself and his tribe to help monsters he had never met.
In addition, there is a bunny village. There are several named bunnymen, but the situation is a bit complicated. They are the patriarch Durus and two young bunnymen, Cleveland and Katori. There is also one who is said to be named by another demon.
Always out and about.
Fortunately, they are also willing to form an alliance with this side, so there is no big problem. I wonder if any village is willing to hand over the clothing design to him?
There are other social monsters left, but some of them choose to escape, and some of them give up on themselves without any intention of fighting. Maybe their results will become more tragic. Is this considered the sorrow of weakness?
Next is the issue of the wetland where the Pig Head Clan's current battle line is located, and the enemy's intelligence.
The march route can be clearly seen by drawing a simple map, because the opponent seems to be advancing directly with the purpose of wiping out the various communities in the Jura Forest. Could it be that the devil is behind it and intends to dominate the Jura Forest?
But for a march of 200,000 people, how to provide food, and how a race that originally lived on the plains would adapt to the jungle wetland are all problems. This cannot be solved by getting excellent equipment and material support. In fact, it is not found that the Pig Head Tribe has much logistics
Troops and baggage troops.
Unfortunately, there is still too little information. If this continues, it will become a head-on confrontation without attacking its weaknesses.
At this time, Cronpis threw the book he had been reading in front of Lim.
"The investigation of the matter you are concerned about has been completed a long time ago. I think there is nothing to worry about. Just do your best, hehe."
