...: "We don’t dare to fight them. If we do, they just split. But if we don’t, they’ll conquer our territory."

...: "This is just as bad as the Insect Race disaster from the last phase. This isn’t the Catastrophe Corps sent by the organizers, is it?"

...: "It’s not quite that bad. A minor disaster, maybe."

...: "Looks like these Slime Monsters aren’t going to stay confined to their current territory."

...: "There are so many of them, and they multiply when you fight them. They’re bound to expand."

...: "So what do we do? Are we just going to keep fighting each other?"

Dailuo Ke: "Don’t be afraid. They’re just some slightly stronger-than-average wild monsters. My Gravity Cannon is already built. If they dare to show up, I’ll give them a welcome they won’t forget."

...: "Holy crap, you’re a beast! A god!! How did you build a Gravity Cannon so fast?"

Dailuo Ke: "It’s not like it’s some super-advanced piece of tech. There’s nothing I can’t build."

...: "We should focus on containing these Slime Monsters first. Let’s not get carried away fighting each other, only for these monsters to swoop in and pick up the pieces."

...: "And that’s assuming these Slime Monsters are even wild in the first place."

The appearance of the Slimes put most of the Titan Race lords on high alert.

After a brief discussion, the nobles chose to halt their wars with one another and began to plan how to deal with this new enemy.

However, the Civilian Lords, who made up the majority, remained silent. They quietly watched the nobles assign tasks in the channel, their own private schemes unknown. The nobles, for their part, paid no mind to these silent commoners...

Ronnie watched the entire exchange unfold. When he looked back at the Slime Monsters in his own territory, a chill ran down his spine.

’These damn Slime Monsters must be a scouting party.’

"Go! Drive all of these Slime Monsters out of here!"

"Where’s the head of the construction team? Get them to build defensive fortifications, now! We have to stop these Slime Monsters from invading."

Ronnie hastily ordered his men to begin the task of expelling the Slimes.

He even unceremoniously tossed out the "Big Fatty" he had purchased himself.

From his previous observations, Ronnie had discovered that the Slime Monsters generally only fought back when attacked.

They primarily fed on decaying plants and assorted debris. The rest of the time, they were relatively peaceful, mostly just wandering around looking for food.

And so, Ronnie decided to try a more... peaceful method of getting rid of the Slimes.

Namely, he would just throw the Slime Monsters into the territories of other lords. As long as they weren’t in *his* territory, it was fine.

...

With three new territories conquered, the Slimes now had more room to maneuver and more routes for their advance.

Using these three occupied territories as a base, they began to spread out into the surrounding areas.

Meanwhile, after a brief period of observation and listening to the personal accounts of lords like Keze and Al (who had already sided with Lin Yu), the Titan Race lords came to a conclusion. They believed the Slime Monsters were only attacking because overpopulation had created a survival crisis, forcing them to migrate and find new territory to reproduce.

To prevent the number of Slime Monsters in their own lands from getting high enough to trigger an attack, the lords went to great lengths to secretly transport Slimes into the territories of their neighbors.

The Slimes, acting on Lin Yu’s instructions, allowed themselves to be shuttled back and forth by the Titan Race lords, so long as the soldiers sent to move them were peaceful and did not attack.

Thanks to the unwitting cooperation of the Titan Race lords, the Bee Swarm Gluttonous Slimes spread rapidly across the southern part of the Titan Continent.

If one could see a grand map of the Titan Continent, they would notice the color representing the Slimes in the southern regions growing ever larger and more concentrated...
