Submission of the Direwolf Tribe

The sun gradually set, the moon quietly rose, and night fell.

On a hill not far from the Goblin settlement, a tall and imposing Direwolf silently opened his eyes.

He was none other than the leader of the Direwolf Tribe.

He slowly rose to his feet and looked down at his pack.

"Men, today is the day of our victory. Not far ahead lies the Goblin settlement, but after tonight, it will be our territory. We will become the rulers of this region, with vast lands and countless prey. We will no longer have to worry about shelter or food. Do you hear me, my kin?"

The Wolf King shouted. If Mo Li had been here, he would definitely have praised him as a living, breathing top-tier pyramid scheme leader. Those words were simply incredible.

"Awooo~~"

The entire pack howled.

The Wolf King turned toward the Goblin village, a trace of red appearing in his eyes.

Today, he would slaughter every last Goblin and make them pay for their stubbornness.

Awooo~~

"Men, kill!"

At the Wolf King's command, every Direwolf charged toward the Goblin village.

Meanwhile, over at the Goblin village.

"Ari, what are you still waiting for?"

Rimuru lay in Mo Li's arms and asked curiously.

"Nothing."

Mo Li answered with a mysterious look on his face.

Seeing Mo Li acting all cryptic.

"Ari, just tell me?"

Rimuru wheedled.

Seeing Rimuru's adorable expression, Mo Li could only smile indulgently.

"Oh, well. If I don't spoil my own person, who will?"

"I'm waiting for the other Direwolves to arrive."

Mo Li explained to Rimuru.

"The other Direwolves? Aren't these all of them?"

Rimuru asked innocently.

"Sigh, you really don't remember things. Did you forget what the old Goblin said? There are nearly a hundred of these Direwolves. How many are there here? Count them."

Mo Li said helplessly.

Only then did Rimuru realize that was indeed the case. There were only a little over thirty of them, so the numbers clearly did not add up.

"Also, Rimuru, I still have a use for these Direwolves, so don't kill them."

Mo Li warned Rimuru.

"But at this hour, will they really come?"

Rimuru looked uncertain.

Rimuru looked around at the pitch-black forest, still unsure.

"They will. Wolves are nocturnal creatures, after all. Besides, I already had the Goblins make preparations."

Mo Li answered with certainty.

Because he knew the plot, Mo Li knew that the Direwolves would launch a nighttime raid. So he had long since ordered the Goblins to surround the village with fences. Together with Rimuru's spider silk, even if the Direwolves came, they would not be able to break in anytime soon.

In the original story, the Wolf King had led his pack in a nighttime ambush. He just did not know why part of the pack had arrived during the day, but Mo Li was certain that the Direwolves would come tonight. In the original story, Rimuru killed the Wolf King before the entire pack and then used his power to suppress them, forcing the Direwolves into submission. This time, Mo Li planned to act personally. On one hand, he wanted to establish his authority before the Goblins. On the other, he wanted to familiarize himself with his skills. In the cave, Rimuru had dealt with most of the monsters, and Mo Li had not wanted to steal his kills. This time, Mo Li intended to personally suppress the Direwolves. Besides, Rimuru had fallen asleep in his arms, so Mo Li could only handle it himself.

"They're here!" A Goblin keeping watch shouted.

At once, every Goblin stood up and picked up his weapon.

In the distant forest, a massive and imposing Direwolf appeared. Countless giant wolves followed behind him.

"Awooo~~"

The Wolf King at the front howled loudly.

Rimuru, who was in Mo Li's arms, was startled awake by the howl.

"What is it? What is it?"

Rimuru asked in a panic.

Seeing Rimuru like this, Mo Li found it rather amusing. Even the tense atmosphere eased somewhat.

"There, look. The wolves are here."

Mo Li gestured toward them with his lips.

Rimuru looked in the direction Mo Li indicated.

"So you're the ones who disturbed my sleep. Today, I'm wiping you out."

Rimuru was somewhat angry. He had finally fallen asleep, and before he had slept for long, they had woken him up. Didn't they know that getting Ari to hold him was a rare opportunity?

Seeing Rimuru about to go on a killing spree, Mo Li hurriedly persuaded him.

"You don't need to do anything. I'll handle it. I still have a use for these Direwolves."

"Fine."

Hearing Mo Li's words, Rimuru could only give up.

Mo Li raised his head and looked at the pack.

At the front stood a large Direwolf, though he had a scar over his left eye.

"You're the Wolf King?"

Mo Li asked.

"What, do you want something?"

The Wolf King glanced at Mo Li disdainfully.

"Nothing. You woke up my Rimuru, so I'll have to ask you to die."

Mo Li spoke such cold words with a smiling face.

"Just you?"

The Wolf King said viciously.

"Yes, just me."

As he spoke, Mo Li condensed a Rock Spear and fired it at the Wolf King.

Before the Wolf King could dodge, the Rock Spear struck him, killing him on the spot. Looking at the dead Wolf King, both the Goblins and the wolves showed expressions of utter disbelief. It was as though they were saying, Are you kidding me?

[Congratulations to the host for killing the B-class Direwolf King. Magicules increased. Obtained skills including Wolf King's Aura and Steel Claws.]

The Gamer said in Mo Li's mind.

"Rimuru, devour his corpse. You should gain quite a few benefits from it."

Mo Li reminded the Slime in his arms.

"Got it, Ari."

Rimuru then jumped out of Mo Li's arms and rushed toward the Wolf King's corpse, quickly devouring it.

"Ari, I gained the two skills Mimicry and Wolf King's Aura. I can mimic the Wolf King now."

Rimuru said excitedly to Mo Li.

"Alright, I know."

Mo Li replied.

Mo Li then condensed countless Rock Spears and aimed them at the pack.

"Submit or die. Choose one."

Countless dark-golden Rock Spears hovered around Mo Li, making him look like a god.

Under Mo Li's pressure, every Direwolf remained completely still, as though the slightest mistake would see them pierced into sieves by the Rock Spears.

"Unknown powerful one, please do not attack. We are willing to submit."

At that moment, a Direwolf stepped forward and spoke to Mo Li.

"So this is Ran-ga from the original story, the Star Wolf King and one of the Twelve Guardian Saints in the later stages. He's one of Cute King's great generals. He helped Cute King quite a lot in the story."

Mo Li thought as he looked at Ran-ga.

With Ran-ga setting the example, the other Direwolves no longer resisted. One after another, they knelt on the ground and expressed their submission.
