On the throne, Lu Minghao stroked Sally's smooth, long hair, looking at Gavil, who was constantly striking poses he thought were handsome, with the expression of someone watching an idiot. Behind him, three lizardman lackeys were jumping and cheering, shouting, "Lord Gavil is so handsome!"
Lu Minghao understood the lizardmen's inexplicable self-confidence. After all, before, because the Great Jura Forest sealed the Calamity-class Demon Lord Storm Dragon Veldora, even as a disgrace to the Calamity class, Storm Dragon Veldora was still a top-tier existence in this world.
The entire Jura Forest was tacitly regarded by the major kingdoms and Demon Lords as Storm Dragon Veldora's territory, which resulted in the fact that before Rimuru, the only top-tier powerhouse in the entire Jura Forest was the Demon Lord-level Dryad Treyni, known as the "Great Forest Manager."
In addition, Treyni, the dryad who thought she was a sentient potato, was simply too lazy to manage the Jura Forest, which led to the monsters living here being inexplicably full of self-confidence, with the lizardman tribe being the most typical. Clearly, the entire tribe didn't even have an Upper Demon, yet they considered themselves noble and powerful.
"Minghao, can Sally break him?"
At this moment, Sally raised her little head, her cute, tiny demon horns poking at Lu Minghao's chin, asking. However, her delicate little face was full of disgust and aversion. She had completely lost interest in Gavil in front of her.
"Of course. The entire lizardman tribe is Sally's toy. Moreover, as living beings, they cannot choose the race and time of their birth, but they have the right to freely pursue the time of their death."
Lu Minghao looked at Gavil in front of him with a gentle, sun-like smile. Just as he said, the lizardman tribe was just Sally's toy. However, as a kind slime, Lu Minghao gave them the final freedom, which was the freedom of death.
"What are you talking about? And who exactly are you people? Why would the noble lizardman tribe cower in the underground cavern because of mere pig-headed tribesmen?"
At this moment, Gavil finally stopped his narcissistic behavior that made people want to punch him and raised his head slightly, looking down at Lu Minghao and Sally, asking. Ever since returning to the underground cavern, even Gavil, who didn't have much of a brain, had noticed something was amiss.
And the reason for all the oddities was, unsurprisingly, the two people sitting on the lizardman tribe's throne in front of him.
"Gav... Gavil... Run... Run!"
At this moment, the lizardman chief's weak voice came from the corner of the room. His body, like mud, struggled to get up from the ground. His eyes stared fixedly at Gavil in front of Lu Minghao, urging him to escape from here.
"Fath... Father! How did you become like this? What on earth happened!"
Hearing the familiar and urgent voice in his ear, Gavil quickly turned his head to look at the corner of the room. He saw the lizardman chief, his father, staggering to his feet, his eyes full of urgency and despair, urging him.
"Run... Run, Gavil! Leave this place!"
The lizardman chief looked at Gavil walking towards him, his tone full of desperate urging. However, when he saw Canghua behind Gavil looking over with a cold expression, his entire body froze in place, his eyes gradually becoming empty, as if he had died.
"Father! Father!"
"Chief!"
Seeing the lizardman chief like this, Gavil rushed forward, and the other three lizardman lackeys also ran over. However, no matter how they called out, the lizardman chief at this time no longer had any response.
"What on earth did you do to my father? And where are the other tribesmen?"
Looking at the unresponsive lizardman chief, Gavil turned his head in the next second and stared fixedly at Lu Minghao and Sally, who were smiling at him on the throne. Canghua, on the side of the throne, watched all of this with a cold expression, as if the death of the lizardman chief had nothing to do with her.
"Did what?"
Sally looked at Gavil, who was full of anger and murderous intent, and lightly exerted her strength, jumping out of Lu Minghao's arms. She tilted her little head, a sweet smile on her lips, and continued to speak to Gavil.
"Sally just used her favorite way to play with toys, is that not allowed?"
"Toys?"
Gavil looked at Sally in front of him with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she meant by toys.
"Foolish elder brother, the master's toys are naturally all the members of the lizardman tribe."
At this moment, Canghua walked behind Sally and looked at Gavil expressionlessly. For her, who had accepted Sally's naming and whose cognition and soul had been distorted by the power of gluttony, although the previous memories had not changed, the most important thing for the current Canghua was the master. The lizardman tribe being able to become the master's toys was the glory of the lizardman tribe.
And she was going to carry this glory to the extreme.
"Canghua, do you know what you're saying? How could the noble lizardman tribe be this little girl's toys?"
After hearing Canghua's words, Gavil looked at Canghua with incomparable anger. They were the noble and powerful lizardmen, how could they be the toys of this unknown little girl.
"Tired of playing, Sally is already tired of playing."
Suddenly, Sally's little face at this time showed a ruthless look as she pointed at Gavil. Originally, Sally had deliberately kept the lizardman chief alive until now in order to play a lizardman chief family brawl after Gavil returned.
But now, Gavil's narcissistic appearance, inexplicably thinking himself noble, had already made Sally feel bored. After all, in the previous few days, Sally had seen too many lizardmen who thought themselves noble like Gavil. Similar toys had been broken too many times, and Sally was completely tired of playing.
"What are you saying?"
Opposite him, even Gavil, the narcissistic idiot, had noticed the terrifying and indescribable aura that Sally was emitting at this time, and subconsciously stood in front of his father and the three lizardman lackeys.
"Well, don't worry, although you, Gavil, are ugly, weak, and inexplicably confident and narcissistic, the current Sally is a kind oni, so Sally can give you three gameplay choices, oh, isn't that kind?"
Sally tilted her head and looked at Gavil with a smile, her little hand writing and drawing in the air. Before long, three gameplay choices appeared in front of Gavil.
First: Fire-roasted lizard
Second: Charcoal-grilled lizard
Third: Lava-grilled lizard
"Alright, choose quickly, Sally is very kindly giving you a choice of how to die, oh."
The sweet and lovely voice echoed in the cave, and Sally raised her little hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth, looking expectantly at Gavil opposite, wanting to know his choice. You must know that the first two of these three methods were Sally's favorite when she was scavenging in the garbage dump.
In the snowy winter, inside a dilapidated house with a large hole in the crumbling ceiling, Sally's greatest happiness was to build a fire and roast the geckos she managed to catch, or bury them in the still-warm embers.
The crispy texture and meaty flavor were the most delicious and satisfying things Sally could imagine back then.
Now, Sally felt benevolent in offering Gavil the method that brought her the most happiness and joy, even thoughtfully adding an option from the lava lake created by the magic cannon, just for Gavil's sake.
"What are you talking about?"
Gavil stared blankly at the three options Sally wrote in the air with magic essence, then looked at Sally's expectant face, still not understanding what she was saying.
"You're such a greedy lizardman, but Sally suddenly thinks you're not so bad. As a reward, Sally has decided to give you all three."
Without waiting for Gavil to react, Sally turned and walked out of the cave. Behind her, Cang Hua expressionlessly raised her hand and aimed at Gavil and the other four lizardmen. Substantial magic essence turned into chains, binding them all before following Sally out of the cave.
"Sally, have fun."
On the throne, Lu Minghao rested his chin on his hand, waving goodbye to Sally and the others with a smile. As for what would happen to Gavil and the others next, Lu Minghao didn't bother to care. Anyway, from the moment Sally started, the fate of the entire lizardman race was sealed.
"Got it, Minghao."
Sally turned around and waved her little hand at Lu Minghao, then took Gavil and the others to find firewood and other things, planning to give the four lizardmen the full treatment. Cang Hua always carried the seasonings with her.
"Then it's time to get down to business."
After Sally and the others left, Lu Minghao sat up from the throne, looking at the empty cave and muttering to himself. After all, Rimuru and the others would be gathering here in a few days, and if it was just himself, Sally, and Cang Hua, Rimuru and the others would definitely notice something was wrong.
Therefore, Lu Minghao had to create a batch of 'lizardmen' as a disguise.
......
Inside the Goblin Village, Luo Yina was now lying bored on the conference room table, a tuft of hair on her head swaying back and forth. Ever since Rimuru accepted the Dryad Trainee's request a few days ago, they had been constantly holding meetings.
These past few days, Luo Yina had been called in every day, staying in the conference room watching Rimuru and the others discuss various things. They could talk about a small matter for half a day, making Luo Yina now have a post-traumatic stress disorder from meetings.
And what made Luo Yina even more desperate was that, judging by the way Rimuru and the others looked, this meeting would continue until the official start of the war.
'How boring, why do Rimuru and the others like to have meetings so much?'
Thinking of this, Luo Yina tilted her little head and looked at Hong Maru, who was standing up with enthusiasm and saying something. She didn't understand how he managed to be so passionate after holding meetings for three or four days in a row, even though the recent meetings had been repeating things that had been said before.
"Eh! Master!"
The next second, the tuft of hair on Luo Yina's head swayed like a sharp sword, shooting straight into the sky. Amidst the confused gazes of Rimuru and the others, Luo Yina jumped up from the chair with a 'pop', her little face showing undisguised joy.
"Luo Yina, what's wrong?"
Zhu Cai approached Luo Yina with a smile on her face and asked. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to have just heard Luo Yina say 'Master'.
"Sister Zhu Cai, Master just contacted Luo Yina."
"Master?"
"Luo Yina, when did you get a Master?"
At this time, not only Zhu Cai, but even Rimuru and the others all looked over, looking at Luo Yina with puzzled expressions. How could Luo Yina suddenly have a Master? How come they didn't know?
"I've always had one, didn't Luo Yina tell Rimuru and you?"
Looking at Rimuru and the others who were all looking at her, Luo Yina tilted her little head and asked back. Upon hearing Luo Yina's words, Rimuru and the others shook their heads in unison. They didn't remember Luo Yina ever telling them that she had a Master.
"Could it be the Demon Lord who named Luo Yina?"
At this time, the Dryad Trainee looked at the happy Luo Yina and thought for a while before asking. She had been staying with Rimuru all this time, and she knew a little about Luo Yina not being a monster named by Rimuru and what had happened to Luo Yina in the past.
"Luo Yina, does that Demon Lord who named you have anything to do with you?"
Hong Maru looked at Luo Lina with a serious expression, with a hint of worry in his eyes. They were about to go to war with the Pighead Clan. If that Demon Lord wanted Luo Yina to leave, then their previous plan would have a big loophole, after all, Luo Yina was the second Demon Lord species in the entire village besides Rimuru.
As for the Dryad Trainee, she did not join Rimuru's village and was excluded from their combat power by Hong Maru.
"Master and Sister Sally are also in the Jura Forest now, and they also said they can help us."
Luo Yina raised her little head, a simple and lovely smile appearing on her tender face. What she said was deliberately told to Rimuru by Lu Minghao. As for letting the Cradle of All Things create tens of thousands of bodies disguised as lizardmen, how could Luo Yina tell Rimuru?
After all, for Luo Yina, Lu Minghao, as her Master, was absolute. Don't look at how close she is to Rimuru and the others now, but as long as Lu Minghao needs it, Luo Yina can happily send a knife into the hearts of Rimuru and the others in the next second.
"Luo Yina, are you saying that your Master can also help us?"
When Rimuru heard Luo Yina say that her Master would help them fight the Pighead Emperor, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. The uneasy feeling in his heart, originally caused by the upcoming battle with the Pighead Clan, also calmed down a bit.
"Yes, Master said that he and Sister Sally will meet us in the Lizardman Territory."
Luo Yina nodded her little head obediently, looking at Rimuru. At the same time, a large number of newborn bodies began to be born in the Cradle of All Things. In just a few minutes, nearly 30,000 bodies had been formed, and then they moved towards the underground cave where the Lizardman Territory was located through the underground water veins.
"Okay, I understand."
Rimuru nodded unconsciously, indicating that he already knew. Although there were still many questions, thinking of Luo Yina's past experiences that she had told them, being transformed into a monster by her own biological father since she was a child, and finally being saved by that Demon Lord.
In Rimuru's view, the Demon Lord who saved Luo Yina must be a good person. This time, coming to the Jura Forest might also be because of the Pighead Emperor's unique skill, [Starved], which can be called the source of disaster.
