Zongman: About my reincarnation as a slime

Chapter 113·A big gamble

On the horizon, a golden light lit up behind the dark mountains, and the dark wilderness was illuminated. At this time, Kalandu, the capital of the Kingdom of Edras, fell into a still and solemn atmosphere. Countless people wearing armors and holding weapons Soldiers were flying in the sky, their eyes constantly scanning the streets below, whenever they saw anything amiss.

Immediately, a large number of soldiers will surround the place, and then they will subdue the monsters that are roaring and attacking the same kind, and then take them away, gather them together, and imprison them in one place.

At this time, traces of last night's grand celebration can still be seen everywhere on the streets, but the faces of the monster residents of Kalandu no longer look as excited, excited and full of hope as before, and their eyes can't hide the panic and worry.

Because, since last night's celebration ended and all the monsters fell asleep, the soldiers guarding the city discovered something unusual. All the monsters on the more remote streets of Kalandu disappeared silently, and the only thing left at the scene was A trace of blood, but no trace left.

It was as if the drunken monsters sleeping in those streets were taken away at the same time without any resistance, but the strange thing was that the magic barrier that enveloped the entire Kalandu was not weird at all. The monster suddenly disappeared.

While the soldiers were still investigating the missing monsters, suddenly most of the lower monsters and monster cubs in Kalandu fell into madness and began to bite the same kind around them, devouring their flesh and blood with big mouthfuls. , kept repeating the words "hungry" in his mouth.

After the soldier caught all the monsters that went crazy last night and hit them together, and provided them with enough food to eat, which monsters regained their senses, but as the soldiers asked, they all had no idea what happened without exception. What.

They just suddenly felt so hungry, and the hunger from their souls instantly swallowed up their sanity. It was not until they were full that their sanity returned to normal, and they had no memory of what they had done when they were crazy.

Another most unusual thing is that the magic elements in all monsters that wake up after falling into madness have increased to varying degrees.

After discovering this, the monsters that fell into madness even regarded this situation as a good thing, and even some monsters that did not fall into madness began to expect that they would become like this.

But this situation changed the moment the sun rose this morning. The monster that had regained its sanity began to gradually lose its sanity again. It stared at the soldiers outside the cage with blood-red eyes and kept roaring, trying to rush out.

At that time, the soldiers guarding the edge of the cage reacted immediately and quickly threw the food they had prepared into the cage. When the crazy monster inside ate a large amount of food and gradually regained its consciousness, many soldiers just breathed a sigh of relief. .

A large number of screams suddenly came from the street in the distance, and some monster soldiers even easily saw a few crazy low-level monsters and a middle-level monster knocking down a compatriot on the street not far away, and then opened their fangs. His big mouth ate it up.

Seeing such a scene, combined with the screams coming from all directions in Kalandu, it was not difficult for many soldiers to imagine what was happening.

Subsequently, the high-level monster Fila, who was the captain of the city guard, immediately sent a soldier to the palace to inform King Edras of what had happened, and then personally led all the remaining soldiers to begin to rescue the injured compatriots with all their strength, and sent them to The crazy monsters were uniformed and brought here to be imprisoned.

"Phila, what's going on?"

Above the central square, Edras looked gloomily at the densely packed cages below and the monsters locked in the cages. These were only some of the monsters that were caught after going crazy, and more monsters were locked up in other parts of the city. .

"Sir Edras, the cause of the matter has not been investigated clearly. In addition to these compatriots who suddenly went crazy, thousands of compatriots disappeared quietly last night. There must be some connection between these two things."

The superior monster lion-man Phila stood beside Edras with a serious look on his face, and told Edras everything about what happened last night and this morning. In fact, he had already told Edras that the crazy monster had After suppressing them all, Fila began to search the whole city to find out the reason why this happened.

But no matter what method it used, even after using magic perception to almost completely sense the entire Kalandu, it found no abnormalities at all. However, the instinct of a monster told Fila which monsters suddenly disappeared and the compatriots who suddenly went crazy. There must be some connection between them.

"What will Edras do now?"

At this time, Oz, the frost demon wolf, stepped forward and looked at the monsters in the nearly ten thousand cages in front of him that were frantically eating food. With the strength of a top-level monster, he could easily sense that as the crazy monsters continued to devour food, The magic element in the body is also constantly increasing.

In other words, if this continues, as long as there is enough food supply, it won't be long before these crazy monsters will become a powerful army of the Kingdom of Edras. But the problem is that they are not so powerful in the Kingdom of Edras. Lots of food.

You know, the reason why the Kingdom of Edras launched a war against the human Kingdom of East was to plunder food, land and reduce the number of monsters.

"How much food is left in King Phila City?" Edras glanced at Oz. As a demon king, how could Edras not know what happened to Oz? Although he still didn't know why he turned into In this way, although the current sudden change in Kalandu seems to be a disaster on the surface, it is also an opportunity from another perspective.

If these monsters remain in this state, with the current increase in magic power, it won't take long for these crazy low-level monsters and monster babies to become mid-level monsters, and even a few of the crazy mid-level monsters will have a chance to become high-level monsters. .

In this way, the dilemma in the Kingdom of Edras can not be easily solved, but with the addition of so many middle-level monsters and a few high-level monsters, it can at least alleviate most of the current pressure on the Kingdom of Edras.

For this reason, Edras asked how much food there was in the royal city.

"Lord Edras, if the current food supply in the royal capital continues as it is, it can last for at most a month, and that's if the number of crazy monsters does not continue to increase."

After hearing Edras's words, Fila raised her head and said with a troubled expression. Those compatriots who went crazy need to eat a lot of food every time they want to regain their senses. The current food inventory in Kalandu can only maintain one at most. About a month.

But Fila knew that this was simply impossible, not to mention that there were monsters going crazy in Kalandu all the time at this time, and even though the strength of the crazy monsters would increase every time they regained their senses, they would be accompanied by The food intake will increase again after the next madness.

To be honest, Fila had no idea how long the current food stored in the royal capital could last.

"One month, and the current volume is still maintained."

Edras slowly raised his head and stared at the many crazy monsters in front of him. It had already heard the hidden meaning from Fira's words, and regarding the situation in the royal capital, Edras, as the king, was roughly Learn something.

Then, Edras turned his head and looked at the many monsters gathered outside the central square. Most of the monsters gathered here had scars on their bodies, and almost all of them were family members of those crazy monsters.

But when Edras saw the old, weak or seriously injured monsters in the monster group, an idea appeared in its mind. However, Edras really didn't want to think about this idea until the last moment. Use.

"Lafite, I will ask all the high-level monsters except me, Oz and Chris to help you and investigate the reasons for this happening as soon as possible. In addition, the food in the royal capital will not affect other people. , fully supply these crazy compatriots."

A few seconds later, Edras turned around and looked at Fila expressionlessly and began to give orders. Although Edras knew that this was not the most correct thing to do, the most important thing for the entire Edras Kingdom at present was to Sally was trained to become a demon king, and then awakened to become a true demon king.

As long as it succeeds, all difficulties will no longer be a problem. At that time, with the strength of Sally Demon King, it will be easy to plunder a large amount of food from the surrounding kingdoms. In addition, these crazy monsters can become Case.

Once that happens, the Kingdom of Edras will become a truly top-level kingdom, with not only Sally as the Demon King, but also an army of monsters with the lowest strength in the middle, enough to crush most kingdoms in the entire world. .

Edras admitted that this was a big gamble and put everything on Sally, but Edras believed in Sally.
And even if Sally does not become the true Demon King before the food is exhausted, the worst case scenario is that all the monster people in the entire royal capital will die. At that time, the souls of the dead monster people will be collected and awakened as Sally. of nourishment.

For Edras, as long as Sally is still there, everything is not a loss. No matter how much time it takes or how high the price is, as long as Sally becomes the Demon King, everything will change. monsters, and even Edras himself can be sacrificed.

Because it is the king of all monsters in the Kingdom of Edras, and for the sake of the entire Kingdom of Edras, it is willing to gamble with hundreds of thousands of monsters in the royal capital.

"I know Lord Edras."

Fila raised her head and glanced at Edras, nodded and accepted the order. As a superior monster, of course it knew the reason why Edras did this, but it also had the same idea as Edras. , the most important thing right now is that Sally awakens and becomes the true devil.

For this reason, even if all the monsters in the entire capital are dead, even Fila has decided to take the rest of the high-ranking monsters to build an enchantment to surround the entire Karandu after Edras leaves, to collect The soul of a monster after death.
