Rimuru glanced at Crounpis, who seemed relieved and had a mischievous smile. He complained in his mind that since you have compiled the information into a book, couldn't you take it out earlier? Then he picked up the book and started reading it.
.
I actually understand the text, so don’t complain.
After reading the information that was supposed to be part of Ultima's investigation, Rimuru felt like he was freezing from head to sole.
The pig-head tribe's military rations actually consisted of eating the corpses of those killed in battle, not only those of their opponents, but also those of their own sacrificed soldiers.
And they also have the ability to acquire some of the properties that the food had when they were alive by eating monsters.
This can explain why they rush in and keep moving forward. As long as they keep eating, they will become more and more adaptable to the local environment, and the more they eat, the stronger they will become. With the skills [Predator] and [Great Sage], they have gained a lot of monster abilities.
Rimuru knew very well how terrifying the pig-headed tribe's ability was.
Even the demon king behind the Pig Head Clan has been investigated clearly.
Demon Lord Clayman, Kalion, Frey, Milim.
The purpose is to promote the pig-headed emperor to become the pig-headed demon king. The further reasons are still under investigation.
Very good, of course the devil doesn't know anyone. But can this devil be wholesaled?
It seems that the situation is complicated.
Even though Rimuru was worried about the number of enemy troops, he had considered a basic battle plan, such as: having most of the monsters form a frontal formation to attract the attention of the pig-headed army, and it would be up to him, Shizuo, Kimito and the most powerful ones to
The hob goblins formed a small number of elites and took the opportunity to attack the pig-headed emperor, killing the pig-headed emperor and forcing the enemy to surrender.
But if the good deeds of the demon king are ruined, and so many demon kings are enemies at once, the small monster town cannot bear it.
The top priority now is to understand the character of the Demon King and the relationship between them, and see if there is a buffer zone. But before that, Rimuru was very concerned about something and asked Crounpis: "Isn't there another guy wearing a mask?
, that one is equivalent to the thug and organizer sent by the Demon King. They have already investigated this, so why is there no information about that guy?"
Crownpis turned her head and gestured with her eyes to Ultima, who was standing behind her.
"Huh? Rimuru, what are you talking about? In this war, except for the Demon King and the pig-headed tribe who may appear as a Demon King, I can't find anything to be afraid of." Ultima said plausibly.
Yes, yes, you don't care, but the ghosts and I do.
"Rimuru, it's really hard for you to be a manager." Crounpis said with a hint of sympathy.
In this case, I hope you can help me with some ideas.
"Then I'll try my best to give you some advice, hee hee hee." Crounpis hugged her chest, turned up her nose and smiled.
You just want to find the right opportunity to show off, right, absolutely!
Cronpis said: "Rimuru, I believe you have also noticed that the masked demon who was pushed out to work for the demon king named the monsters everywhere, whether they were smart or stupid, and the number of the population was random.
As for the reason why the big ghosts were destroyed, it was probably because the ability to capture the big ghosts had a high rate of improvement. Since they can’t be used, don’t waste them. That’s probably what that guy thought.”
A Goblin King named Rigurudo under Rimuru asked: "Yes, they name monsters everywhere... Could it be that they want to promote the birth of the Demon King, but they don't know who is more suitable? In the end, the Pig-Headed Clan because they can
To gain the abilities of other races through eating, to stand out, and to start funding them exclusively?"
"Damn it, are you going to kill us all just for this reason?" Benimaru said through gritted teeth.
"Then the next target of the Pig-Head Tribe will be the lizardmen who dominate the wetlands? They deserve it." Shion, who was behind Rimuru, sneered. After all, the lizardmen who came to make trouble before dared to insult and claim to kill Rimuru. It was really too much.
Seeking death.
"Isn't this the way to win without offending a bunch of demon kings later?" Crounpis knocked on the table and looked at the monsters present.
Others were a little confused, but Jing, who had a relatively complicated history, suddenly understood and said a little excitedly: "Hey, are you saying that as long as one of the monsters present becomes the Demon King, can you show off to those Demon Kings instead of the Pig-Headed Emperor?
!”
Before Cronpis and Rimuru could say anything, the other monsters below exploded on the spot.
"Needless to say!"
"Rimuru-sama is certainly worthy of the title of Demon King."
"Rimuru-sama takes action, the Pig-headed Emperor is no match at all!"
"How can a mere pig-headed emperor compare with Rimuru-sama!"
"………………"
There was an overwhelming amount of compliments that Rimuru thought were too overwhelming.
"Oh, you're so popular." Crownpis patted Rimuru on the shoulder.
"Didn't you start this?" Limu, who was under great pressure, rolled his eyes.
He doesn't want to be the Demon King. He obviously had some plans to start contact and trade with humans not long ago. Now he suddenly calls himself the Demon King. Doesn't this cause ridicule and hatred? He has no objection to improving his strength, but does he have to become the Demon King?
At this time, Souei's expression changed.
"What's wrong, Souei?" Rimuru asked.
"Someone contacted my clone and said that he wanted to see Rimuru-sama no matter what. What do you think?"
"Name me for contact? Who is it?" Rimuru felt very strange. He felt that his reputation should not be so great, otherwise there would not be idiots in the forest from time to time claiming the ownership of this city. Most monsters are better than him.
The messenger chose the lizard man messenger instead.
"The other party did not introduce himself, he is a tree elf."
This shocked almost everyone. The tree goblin in this world is the manager of this large forest. It is a very high-level mysterious monster that rarely appears.
"Looking for you?" Rimuru glanced at Crounpis.
"Why are you looking at me? Didn't you listen to what my subordinates said...Wait, no, I obviously hid my aura. You used [Great Sage] to identify my attributes. You knew my race, so you ignored the subordinates' words. You thought you were looking for me.
Is that so? This is very impolite behavior." Crounpis looked very artificially aggressive.
"Yes... I'm sorry. Ahem, Souei, let her in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small tree grew directly inside the house and turned into a beautiful tree fairy.
"This is the first time we meet, the person who rules the monsters. I am the tree elf Torene, please give me your advice."
"Hello, I'm Rimuru. Commander-in-Chief is too exaggerated. Just deal with it normally, okay?"
Then, Torene, who appeared between the seats, directly picked up the potato chips that had just been put into trial production on the table and ate them with relish.
Rimuru complained in his heart that he had never seen such a shameless fairy.
