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

On a hill not far from the goblin settlement, a tall and formidable Direwolf silently opened its eyes.

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

He slowly stood up and looked down at his pack.

"My little ones, today is the day of our victory. The territory of the goblin tribe lies just ahead, but after tonight, it will be our domain. We will become the overlords of this region, possessing 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 were here, he would surely praise him, noting that he was a top-tier pyramid scheme leader; his words were simply spot on.

"Awoo~~"

The entire pack howled in response.

The Wolf King turned his gaze toward the goblin village, a hint of red flickering in his eyes.

Today, he would surely slaughter every last goblin and make them pay the price for their stubbornness.

Awoo~~

"My little ones, attack!"

Following the Wolf King's command, all the Direwolves charged toward the goblin village.

Meanwhile, on the side of the goblin village.

"Ari, what are you still waiting for?"

Rimuru asked curiously while lying in Mo Li's arms.

"Nothing."

Mo Li said with a mysterious expression.

Seeing Mo Li acting like a riddle-maker, Rimuru pouted.

"Ari, won't you just tell me?"

Rimuru acted spoiled.

Looking at Rimuru's cute expression, Mo Li could only smile dotingly.

"Fine, if I don't spoil my own person, who will?"

"I am waiting for the rest of the Direwolves to arrive."

Mo Li explained to Rimuru.

"The rest of the Direwolves? Aren't these all of them?"

Rimuru asked naively.

"Sigh, you really have a poor memory. Have you forgotten what the Old Goblin said? There are nearly a hundred of these Direwolves. Count them yourself; how many are there?"

Mo Li said with some helplessness.

Hearing this, Rimuru realized it was indeed true. There were only thirty-something of them, so the numbers definitely didn't match up.

"And Rimuru, I still have use for these Direwolves, so don't you go killing them."

Mo Li warned Rimuru.

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

Rimuru said, looking uncertain.

Rimuru looked at the pitch-black forest surrounding them, feeling unsure.

"They will. After all, wolves are nocturnal creatures. Besides, I've already had these goblins prepare."

Mo Li said with certainty.

Because of the plot, Mo Li knew that these Direwolves would launch a surprise attack at night, so he had long ago instructed the goblins to surround the village with fences. Coupled with Rimuru's spider silk, even if the Direwolves came, they wouldn't be able to break in for a while.

In the original story, the Wolf King led the pack to raid at night. It was unclear why a portion of the pack had arrived during the day, but Mo Li was certain that this group of Direwolves would definitely come today. In the original story, Rimuru had slain the Wolf King in front of the many Direwolves and then used his own power to suppress the pack, forcing them to submit. Mo Li intended to take action personally this time. On one hand, it was to establish prestige for these goblins; on the other, it was to familiarize himself with his own skills. In the cave, most of the monsters had been dealt with by Rimuru, and Mo Li hadn't wanted to steal his kills. This time, Mo Li planned to personally suppress the Direwolves. Furthermore, Rimuru had fallen asleep in his arms, so Mo Li had no choice but to take over the task.

"They're here!" a goblin on lookout duty shouted.

Immediately, all the goblins stood up and grabbed their weapons.

In the distance, a tall and imposing Direwolf appeared in the forest, followed closely by countless giant wolves.

"Awoo~~"

The leading Wolf King let out a loud roar.

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

"What's wrong? What's happening?"

Rimuru asked in a panic.

Seeing Rimuru like this, Mo Li found it quite amusing, and even the tense atmosphere began to ease.

"Look, over there, the wolves are coming."

Mo Li gestured with his chin toward Rimuru.

Rimuru looked in the direction Mo Li had indicated.

"So you're the ones who disturbed my sleep. Today, I'm going to wipe you all out."

Rimuru was somewhat angry; having finally fallen asleep, he hadn't been resting for long before being woken up by them. Didn't they know how rare an opportunity it was to be held by Ari?

Seeing Rimuru preparing to go on a killing spree, Mo Li hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"You don't need to do it; I'll handle it. I still have a use for this pack of Direwolves."

"Fine."

Hearing what Mo Li said, Rimuru had no choice but to give up.

Mo Li looked up at the wolf pack.

Leading them was a large Direwolf, though it had a scar over its left eye.

"You must be the Wolf King."

Mo Li asked.

"What, you got a problem, kid?"

The Wolf King glanced at Mo Li and said disdainfully.

"Nothing much, it's just that you woke up my Rimuru, so I'm afraid I have to ask you to die."

Mo Li said this with a smiling face, his words chillingly indifferent.

"Just you?"

The Wolf King growled viciously.

"Yes, just me."

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

Before the Wolf King could dodge, he was struck by the Rock Spear and died on the spot. Watching the dead Wolf King, all the Goblins and the wolf pack wore expressions of disbelief, as if they were saying, "Are you kidding me?"

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

The Gamer in Mo Li's mind announced.

"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, devouring it in a matter of moments.

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

Rimuru said excitedly to Mo Li.

"Alright, I know."

Mo Li then condensed countless Rock Spears, aiming them at the wolf pack.

"Submit or die, choose one."

Countless dark gold Rock Spears circled around Mo Li, making him look like a god.

Under Mo Li's pressure, all the Direwolves stood motionless, as if a single mistake would result in them being turned into sieves by the Rock Spears.

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

At this moment, one Direwolf stepped forward and spoke to Mo Li.

It seems this is Ran-ga, who followed the cute king in the original story, and later became one of the Twelve Guardian Saints, the Star Wolf King. He is a great general for the cute king and helped him quite a bit in the plot.

Mo Li thought to himself as he looked at Ran-ga.

With Ran-ga setting the example, the other Direwolves no longer resisted. They knelt on the ground one after another, signaling their submission.
