"An army of four hundred thousand? Is this really an exaggeration?" Rimuru supported his little head, took a sip of Mixue Bingcheng, and sighed.
Not to mention four hundred thousand, even she had never heard of such a huge number in her previous life.
Mo Li on the side saw Rimuru's unseen expression and knew what she was thinking.
In his previous life, the number of armies in the ancient dynasty's war was less than 400,000, and the largest number was even close to one million. In other words, only a small place like Japan would be so rustic.
"But what was their purpose in attacking the big ghost village?" At this time, Benimaru raised a question that had troubled him for a long time.
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Mo Li does know a little bit, but he is too lazy to say it.
While everyone was discussing how to fight this battle, the thoughtful Shuna discovered an extremely important issue.
"A total of four hundred thousand Orc Army, how do they provide food for them?" Shuna said, frowning his beautiful eyebrows.
"As soon as these words came out, the conference room suddenly fell into silence.
"Yes, a total of 400,000 Orc Army, where did they get so much food?" Rimuru also reacted at this time.
Even Benimaru, Old Man White and others were extremely puzzled. It was not an army of tens of thousands, nor a hundred thousand, but a full 400,000. If they wanted to supply food to the 400,000 Orc Army, it would be impossible unless the entire food of Jura Great Forest was plundered by the Pigheaded Tribe.
"They don't need to look for food. They will devour the corpses of their own kind and enemies, and will not feel hungry due to lack of food." Mo Li gave the answer they wanted.
During the investigation, Mo Li saw pig-headed men in the war frantically eating the corpses of monsters of the same kind and other races.
"Corpse!!!"
Everyone was shocked by Mo Li's words, because even they had never heard of cannibalism.
Even Rimuru showed a disgusted expression.
"It's because of Orc Lord."
Mo Li continued to explain to this group of illiterate people.
"Special Skill of Orc Lord is called "Hungry One". This ability allows everyone under its control to recover from injuries and obtain food by eating."
"This means that as long as there is still breath, you can recover by eating, which makes Orc Lord and his army extremely powerful. This ability, accompanied by a constant sense of hunger, is one of the sources of motivation for Orc Lord and his tribe to continue to advance."
"To put it simply, Orc Lord, as a commander, will also affect his army, making them eat up all the food they see like locusts.
Like a curse, they will be tormented by hunger all the time. But because of this skill, they are always in an advantageous position.
They can eat 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 sense of hunger that they can maximize this skill.
And this is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is that after they eat the corpses of these monsters, they can take everything for themselves, including not only the magic elements, but also skills and so on.
As long as they eat more, they will become stronger, which is how those Orc Generals came about. And if they are allowed to eat more, Orc Lord will most likely become another Demon King level monster, so I decided to strike first and put an end to this incident."
Having said so much in one breath, Mo Li felt thirsty after all he said. He wanted to take a sip of tea, but when he touched the teacup, he realized that he had finished it. He touched the teapot, and it was all bottomed out.
Then Mo Li turned his attention to the milk tea that Rimuru was still slurping. When Rimuru was stunned, Mo Li directly reached out and grabbed (grabbed) the milk tea that Rimuru was still slurping, and finished it in one breath.
At this time, Rimuru was immediately confused. Where is her milk tea? Why is it gone? Who dares to steal her milk tea? It is a life-threatening situation.
Rimuru raised his head angrily, angrily looking for the murderer who stole her milk tea.
At this time Mo Li had finished drinking the milk tea, and even the milk tea cup was dispelled by him with his authority. No trace was left.
After searching for a long time without any clues, Rimuru looked aggrievedly at Mo Li who felt guilty.
Everyone present saw this scene, but no one dared to say anything.
They just touch their noses, close their eyes, and pretend not to know anything.
Mo Li coughed.
"In other words, one of the purposes of the pig-headed people in occupying Jura Great Forest is to seize the ability of all races."
Mo Li stopped talking after adding a sentence.
"Then Ari, when will we set off?"
Rimuru also knows that the overall situation is of paramount importance, so she will let the thief who stole her milk tea go for the time being. After the meeting, she will definitely find that thief and show it to him.
"This matter does not 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 had question marks on his face when he heard what Mo Li said.
"You are the backbone this time, I am not, and I may not be able to take action this time."
Mo Li immediately fell into silence after saying these words.
"Why? Ari."
Rimuru asked anxiously, how could she not be in a hurry? You must know that her support for Mo Li to start the war is Mo Li. If Mo Li doesn't take action, what will they use to fight? They can't beat it even with the head!
"I didn't say I wouldn't take action, but the main force this time is you. I will take action to intercept the two hundred thousand Orc Army and those Orc General. As for the rest, I will leave it to you."
Mo Li took a sip of hot tea and said to everyone.
"Ari, but..."
Rimuru What else do you want to say?
"It's not that I don't want to take action but I'm powerless. This time the Orc Lord incident is not simple, and the crisis this time goes far beyond Orc Lord. There is also a mysterious force lurking in Jura Great Forest."
Mo Li sighed helplessly.
"What? There are other crises."
Everyone present exclaimed.
"Yes, on the way back, I met the Tree Sprite family, the guardians of order of Jura Great Forest."
Mo Li said.
Mo Li's words made everyone present exclaim.
"Impossible! The Tree Sprite family has not shown up for decades?!" Benimaru exclaimed.
Whether it is the Goblin family or Great Ogres, the Tree Sprite family is an existence that is out of reach.
After finishing speaking, Benimaru realized that he had lost his composure.
"You think I would play this kind of joke on you."
Mo Li glanced at Benimaru and said disdainfully.
"If you don't believe it, let her come out and talk to you in person."
Mo Li's words made everyone present confused.
