I am the emperor of Mengwang

"Four hundred thousand troops? That's really exaggerated." Rimuru supported his little head, took a sip of Mixue Bingcheng, and sighed.

Not to mention four hundred thousand, even in her previous life she had never heard of such a huge number.

Mo Li, who was standing by, saw Rimuru's inexperienced expression and knew what she was thinking.

In his previous life, the number of troops in the ancient dynasty's war was less than 400,000, and the largest number was almost over a million. Only a small country like Japan would be so unsophisticated.

"But what is their purpose in attacking the Great Ghost Village?" At this time, Hongwan raised a question that had been bothering him for a long time.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

Mo Li knew a little bit, but he was too lazy to say it.

While everyone was discussing how to fight this battle, the thoughtful Zhu Cai discovered an extremely important problem.

"How do they provide food for an army of 400,000 pigs?" Zhu Cai said with a frown.

"As soon as these words came out, the conference room suddenly fell silent.

“Yes, an army of 400,000 pigs. Where did they get so much food?” Rimuru also reacted at this time.

Even Hongwan, Bai Lao and others were extremely puzzled. That was not an army of tens of thousands, nor a hundred thousand, but a full four hundred thousand. If they wanted to supply food to an army of four hundred thousand pig-headed people, it would be impossible unless all the food in the entire Zhala Forest was plundered by the pig-headed people.

"They don't need to look for food. They will devour the corpses of their own kind and their enemies, and will not feel hungry due to lack of food." Mo Li gave the answer they wanted.

During the investigation, Mo Li saw the pig-headed people in the battle frantically gnawing on the corpses of their own kind and monsters of other races.

“Corpse!!!”

Everyone was shocked by Mo Li's words, because even they had never heard of cannibalism.

Even Rimuru showed a look of disgust.

"It's because of the Pig-Head Emperor."

Mo Li continued to explain to this group of illiterate people.

"The Pig-Head Emperor's special skill is called "Hungerer". This ability allows everyone under his control to recover from injuries and gain the corresponding abilities of food by eating."

"This means that as long as there is still a breath left, you can recover by eating, which makes the Pig-Headed Emperor and his army extremely powerful. This ability, along with the constant feeling of hunger, is one of the sources of motivation for the Pig-Headed Emperor and his tribe to keep moving forward."

“To put it simply, as the leader, the Pig-Head Emperor will affect his army, causing them to eat all the food they see like locusts.

Just like a curse, they will be tortured by hunger all the time. But because of this skill, they are always the advantaged party.

They can eat up all the food, including the corpses of monsters, and convert it into magic power and absorb it into their own bodies. It is precisely because of this hunger that they can use this skill to the extreme.

And this is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that after they eat the corpses of these monsters, they can take everything from them for themselves, including not only magic elements, but also skills and so on.

The more they eat, the stronger they become. That's how those Pig-Headed Generals came to be. And if they continue to eat, the Pig-Headed Emperor will most likely become a demon king-level monster, so I decided to take the initiative and calm this incident down."

After saying so much in one breath, Mo Li was thirsty. He wanted to drink some tea, but when he touched the teacup, he found that it was all gone. He touched the teapot and it was empty too.

Then Mo Li turned his gaze towards the milk tea that Rimuru was still sipping. While Rimuru was stunned, Mo Li reached out and took (grabbed) the milk tea that Rimuru was still sipping and finished it in one breath.

At this moment, Rimuru was completely confused. Where was her milk tea? Why was it gone? Who dared to steal her milk tea? He was asking for his life.

Rimuru raised his head angrily, looking for the murderer who stole her milk tea.

At this time, Mo Li had already finished drinking the milk tea, and even the milk tea cup was dissipated by his authority. Not even a trace was left.

After searching for a long time without any clues, Rimuru looked at the guilty Mo Li with grievance.

Everyone present saw this scene, but no one dared to say anything.

They just touched their noses, closed their eyes, and pretended they knew nothing.

Mo Li coughed.

"That is to say, one of the purposes of the Pig-Headed People occupying the Great Forest of Hela is to seize the power of all races."

After Mo Li added this sentence, he stopped talking.

"Then when are we leaving?"

Rimuru also knew that the overall situation was more important, so she let the thief who stole her milk tea go for the time being. After the meeting, she would find the thief and teach him a lesson.

"This matter doesn't depend on me, but on you."

Mo Li took out another bag of tea and started brewing it.

"Look at me? What do you mean?"

Rimuru's face was full of question marks when he heard what Mo Li said.

"You are the backbone this time, not me. And I may not be able to take action this time."

After Mo Li said this, the scene fell into silence.

"Why? Ali."

Rimuru asked anxiously. How could she not be anxious? She had to know that the reason she supported Mo Li to fight was because of Mo Li. If Mo Li didn't take action, what would they use to fight? They couldn't win even if they used their heads!

"I didn't say I won't take action, but you are the main force this time. I will take action to stop the 200,000 pig-headed army and those pig-headed generals. As for the rest, I will leave it to you."

Mo Li took a sip of hot tea and spoke to everyone.

"Ali, but..."

What else did Rimuru want to say?

"It's not that I don't want to take action, but I am powerless. This time the Pig-Head Emperor incident is not simple, and the crisis this time is far more than just the Pig-Head Emperor. There is also a mysterious force lurking in the Great Hela Forest."

Mo Li sighed helplessly.

"What? There are other crises."

Everyone present exclaimed.

"Yes, on the way back, I met the tree elves, the guardians of order in the Great Forest of Hela."

Mo Li said.

Mo Li’s words made everyone present exclaim in surprise.

"Impossible! The dryads haven't appeared for decades?!" Hongwan exclaimed.

The tree elves are an unreachable existence for both the goblins and the demons.

After saying this, Hongwan realized that he had lost his composure.

"You think I would joke with you like that?"

Mo Li glanced at Hong Wan and said with disdain.

"If you don't believe it, ask her to come out and talk to you in person."

Mo Li's words made everyone present confused.
