I am really not the villain BOSS of the game!

Chapter 278 Where are the people? They were all taken away to refine biological ointment.

at this time.

Anros was walking towards the edge of the flesh-and-blood city-state while listening to the words of the rabbit-headed guard.

Since the words of the rabbit-headed guard were mixed with a lot of complaints and nonsense, Anros said "hmm" and started thinking in his mind.

Think about the beginning and end of the third major incident.

Different from the previous two times.

Greed, the most cunning among the seven nightmare lords, will not end personally.

But its scope of influence is the largest.

war.

If you want to create a meat grinder that can kill a large number of humans in a short period of time, there is nothing better than launching a "war."

It is synonymous with death and tragedy.

Every word of "war" recorded in history books is filled with endless blood.

Behind every victory, there are mountains of corpses.

Greed took advantage of this.

It doesn't take any effort, just appeal to the greedy nature of some tyrants, and you can stay behind the scenes and enjoy the benefits.

In a word.

Whichever side is about to lose, it will come to its aid;
Whichever side is about to win will suppress it.

Strive to cause the greatest chaos and thereby seek the greatest benefit.

The war started in the Kingdom of Stone in the north.

If.

The king of the Repet Kingdom is just a man who wants to enjoy himself.

The monarch of the Kingdom of Stone is a real "tyrant".

What he covets is not just strength, but also "power".

The severe cold climate has tempered a group of tough mountain people.

Heavy industry is also very developed.

When this group of iron cavalry goes south, the earth will tremble.

"Even if there is no [Greed], I am afraid that the King of Stone will take the opportunity to take advantage of the two great countries Red Rose and Ripet when they see disasters coming one after another."

Anros thought.

"We can't really let the war evolve into a super chaos, but at the same time, we must be prepared for war."

[Greedy] will probably specifically target his family and companions, there is no use hiding.

Anlos' eyes dimmed.

This kind of thing is never allowed.

--but.

That being said.

War is not started with a slap on the forehead.

Preparatory work in the early stage, such as recruiting troops and collecting food, takes a lot of time.

Right now, Anlos needs to deal with the mess left to him by gluttony and rage.

As a lord, as a lord worthy of the trust and loyalty of the people.

What Anlos has to do is not just paint a pie.

The first thing to do is to figure out why these animal people are living in such misery.

[We are here, noble lord. 】

The rabbit-headed guard said respectfully, waving his two rabbit ears excitedly.

It already has a good impression of this Lord.

Because this noble lord actually had the patience to listen to its tragic story.

The rabbit-headed guard was so moved!

It swore that no matter what the lord asked, it would tell you everything!

"Ah, oh, good."

Anros came back from his thoughts.

He didn't hear a word of what the bunny-headed man said.

After staring at the long, fluffy ears of the rabbit-headed guard for two seconds, Anros turned his attention to the wall in front of him with difficulty and said:
"This is what you call the 'breeding wall' that produces new residents. Is there anything wrong with it?"

[This is a big problem, noble lord. 】

The rabbit-headed guard looked serious.

[It can be said that a large part of the reason why we have reached the point where we cannot sustain ourselves is due to this gestation wall. 】

[A few years ago, despite eating a lot from Gluttony and Rage, we could barely maintain a basic existence——] [Until the day when the Breeding Wall fell ill. 】

"Sick?" Anlos asked curiously, "Will this wall still get sick?"

[Yes, noble lord. ] The rabbit-headed guard replied, [You can think of it as a unique "creature". 】

Hearing this, Anlos became interested.

The Wall of Pregnancy is the blood-red wall that you will pass every time you enter the flesh-and-blood city-state.

There are also egg sheaths on the wall, and "small animal residents" will hatch out of them, which seems to be the main method of reproduction in this flesh-and-blood city-state.

That's why it's called this strange name.

In the previous life, although this wall had a novel setting, there was nothing else.

It seems to be just a simple modification of the world view.

but now.

The "hidden plot" was triggered.

"Elaborate."

Anlos urged impatiently.

[Cough,] The rabbit-headed guard cleared his throat nervously and continued nervously, [In addition to life, this gestation wall will also produce a substance called "biological ointment." 】

[Biological ointment contains extremely rich nutrients. As long as you eat a fist-sized bowl, you can maintain the minimum consumption for a day. 】

[In fact, originally, the embryos of the Breeding Wall were transformed by bio-paste and then fed by bio-paste. 】

"That is to say," Anlos concluded, "the root lies in this 'biopaste', right?"

[Yes, Lord, you are right. 】

[The Breeding Wall is very huge, and we lower-class residents obtain biological paste from it to maintain our survival. 】

[But for some reason, one day a few years ago, the Breeding Wall suddenly became ill. 】

The tone of the rabbit-headed guard's tone dropped, and his eyes dimmed.

It looked up at the gestation wall, paused, managed to brace itself, and continued to tell its lord:

[You see, those dark green things attached to the wall are "germs". 】

"what--"

Anros raised his eyebrows.

I thought that thing was for decoration.

I thought it was a hidden plot point!

[Since the emergence of those dark green germs, the amount of biological paste produced by the Breeding Wall has been greatly reduced. 】

[At the same time, it is still gestating life in a morbid manner, even if the cubs are born as thin as firewood. 】

[Without biological ointment, our already fragile balance was suddenly broken.]

【We have to】

Having said this, the rabbit-headed guard paused again.

After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said:

[We have to use living people to feed the gestation wall to produce biological ointment. 】

[In the beginning, it was a newborn cub that was already skinny]

[Then, as the production of the Breeding Wall becomes less and less.]

[First the old, weak, sick and disabled, then slaves, and lots are drawn every month.]

[Up to now, it has evolved to the point where people have to be chosen to die every week, otherwise it will not be sustainable at all! 】

As he spoke, the rabbit-headed guard choked up, his tone filled with grief, anger and numbness.

It turned out to be the case.

Anros nodded, thinking:

No wonder the folk customs of the flesh-and-blood city-state are so simple. It turns out there is a reason.

Indeed, once a person doesn't have enough to eat and is about to starve to death, he can do anything.

"Then do you know the reason why the Breeding Wall is sick?" Anlos asked.

[Uh, sorry, I don’t know. I just know that maybe there is something wrong with the land! 】

the rabbit-headed guard said hurriedly.

[You see, our land is all red and contains special ingredients. Any crops planted there will die. 】

[This is why we can’t grow grains to eat.]

[And the wall of gestation is deeply rooted in the earth! 】

[So, I am guessing that there may have been unknown changes in this land, which infected the Breeding Wall! 】
