Chapter 718 The Monster Council
Boom!
Boom! ! !
Boom! ! ! !
In a path carved out by low-level monsters, a huge figure suddenly stepped forward. He was nearly ten meters tall, and his massive body exuded a formidable aura.
The demons couldn't see his true face. When they looked at that great man, they could only see wisps of black mist surrounding him, and a hazy, ferocious figure beneath the mist.
His aura was cold and malevolent, as if he were the most terrifying being in the world. Just by standing there, he could make everyone tremble with fear. Even the Kobold King, who usually considered himself extremely evil, would feel inferior in front of him.
He was the King of Beasts, the strongest monster standing at the top of this forest. Surrounded by the gazes of the crowd, he walked to the center of the stage, to the towering stone throne.
boom! ! !
The moment he sat down, a terrifying shockwave erupted, causing all the demons present to tremble. Some of the weaker ones were even knocked unconscious and carried out.
As I said before, he is the king of beasts. Only when everyone faces him directly do they realize how terrifying he is.
"let's start......"
With a deep voice, the monsters snapped out of their shock. The King of Beasts wasn't holding a meeting to frighten them, but to deal with the expansion of the forest.
"Those humans have started to move and have formed a coalition army, as I think you all know..."
The King of Beasts started the discussion, and then everyone shifted their focus from him to the news of the human counterattack.
“Those humans are indeed difficult to deal with. Several of my small tribes have been wiped out by them. Although the losses were not significant, we will suffer sooner or later if this continues!”
It was called a meeting, but in reality, only a few people could speak. Monsters are generally arrogant and irritable. It's not that they can't think things through, but when they do, they are prone to acting impulsively.
In their eyes, humans? Insignificant! If they take this seriously, humans will eventually fall to their claws. Suffering losses? That's only temporary. How could those weak humans possibly be a match for them?!
However, arrogance is not a good thing. Although the Kobold King Hoggs is arrogant in his daily life, as the leader of his tribe who has reverted to the power of the ancestors, he also has wisdom that surpasses that of ordinary monsters. The more it concerns the entire group, the calmer and more rational he becomes.
Therefore, he knew he couldn't be too arrogant. Although humans were not as strong as them individually, they had great wisdom and accumulated a wealth of experience over the years. They had a very deep foundation, so fighting them wouldn't be a problem. However, if he underestimated them because of his own strength, he would definitely suffer a loss.
Hoggs was certainly happy to expand outwards, after all, the space in the forest was ultimately limited. With the increasing number of monsters, their living space had already been somewhat compressed. If it weren't for the fear of the other monster kings, he probably would have already led his subordinates to wreak havoc in the forest.
Outward expansion is an inevitable outcome; the question is when and how to expand outward.
Now that the flames of war have been ignited, he naturally needs to take action and seize this opportunity. However, before that, he hopes his side has a greater chance of victory, for example...
If the King of Beasts were to make a move...
Hoggs glanced at the Beast King with a subtle look in his eyes, but he didn't speak. After all, asking for help would be tantamount to showing weakness.
Of course, he didn't remain silent forever; after a moment of silence, he said tactfully:
"Human forces are constantly gathering, and their strength is growing stronger. In my opinion, we can't keep waiting; we must take the initiative!"
"Their human map is too large, making it inconvenient to mobilize troops. Moreover, since they are from different countries, they are naturally not a unified force."
"If we unite, we will definitely be able to defeat them. Then we can seize territory and resources. Even if they want to come and wipe us out later, it won't be so easy for them!"
Hoggs kept talking, saying that although the monsters had already clashed with the people, many monsters had not actually participated in the battle. Some were unwilling to fight, some were corrupted, and some were unwilling to leave the forest. Among them were some powerful ones, including several monster kings.
The giant armored rhinoceros, the earth giant, and the blue-white fangs have not yet made their move; currently, only the rat horde and his kobold tribe are directly involved in this battle.
Hoggs's goal was to convince them that if they joined the fight, along with the Beast King, the subsequent battle would be much easier to handle.
However, as mentioned earlier, these individuals reacted rather indifferently to the war. Upon hearing Hoggs's proposal, they neither agreed nor refused, but simply sat cross-legged on the ground as if they were asleep.
This made Hoggs somewhat anxious, so he turned his attention to the King of Beasts. If the King of Beasts agreed, then everything would be fine.
However, to Hoggs's disappointment, the Beast King, who initiated the meeting, did not speak immediately, even though he also wanted to deal with the problem. Instead, he fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.
The palace belonging to the demons fell silent for a moment, when a somewhat cunning voice rang out.
"I do have some thoughts on this..."
As the sound rang out, everyone's gaze turned to the sound, and what came into their view was a tiny, one-eyed rat. This was the envoy sent by the Rat King, who did not directly attend the meeting.
Hoggs had initially dismissed this guy as nothing more than a roadside figure. After all, he wasn't even the Rat King himself, so what right did he have to speak? He was better suited to stand there as a mascot.
But when he realized that Hoggs was the only one who had spoken, he perked up and turned his gaze toward him, wanting to see what he would say.
The one-eyed rat wasn't particularly strong, but facing the gazes of numerous demon kings, he didn't cower like the other rats. Instead, he continued speaking in his cunning and treacherous voice:
"I know more about the strength of those humans than you do. After all, our spies are far more capable than any of you here. While you were still making contact with them, we had already penetrated deep into their camp!"
"As for those humans, I can only describe them with one word: strong!"
"Very strong!!!"
"They not only have many Gold-rank experts, but also beings at even higher levels..."
"Heroic rank..."
