In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

Uh, okay!

"Shouldn't I at least try to persuade them...?"

Seeing Rimuru so pitiful, Gransta sighed and decided to help his friend.

Why didn't Shion ask him to try the dishes? Look how scared Rimuru is, his head is covered in shadows. It seems his little heart has suffered quite a trauma.

"Is it really that bad?"

Upon hearing this, Rimuru gave Gransta an awkward smile.

"You absolutely won't find another one like it..."

Rimuru immediately brought his little face close to Gransta's and whispered something.

"Gransta, you must dissuade Shion from wanting to become a chef..."

Gransta: ......

...

Gransta looked toward the battlefield where the dragonman and Gobuta were; the commotion they were making was quite significant.

"Rimuru, that sleazy Gobuta is about to make his move."

Rimuru turned his head and saw Gobuta emerge from the shadow of the boar-headed general.

The pig-headed general's broadsword clashed repeatedly with the dragon man's golden vortex spear, sparks flying everywhere.

"Hmph, it seems that skill took a toll on you quite a bit, Dragonman. Your strength has diminished considerably!"

The dragon woman's beautiful face gradually turned ugly. She still wanted to take advantage of her agility, but the pig-headed general opposite her seemed to have guessed her thoughts.

The massive cleaver wielded by the pig-headed general was powerful and relentless, leaving the already exhausted dragonmen with no advantage other than expending magical energy.

Even more deadly is the Pig-Headed General's [Hungry] additional effect, which continuously devours the magic power from the Dragonman's attacks, but the Pig-Headed General also suffers from the side effect of hunger.

"Hmph, I just need to hold you off. Our reinforcements have arrived. You should worry about your army instead."

She had already noticed the commotion on the other side of the battlefield, and it seemed that the reinforcements outside were much more reliable than that silly goblin from before.

Now their lizardmen race can be considered saved!

Upon hearing this, General Pighead frowned and looked at the massive body of the Ice Guard at the edge of the battlefield. He could sense the terrifying magical aura of this ice giant.

But for some reason, the ice giant stopped at the edge of the arena, seemingly waiting for the right moment to strike.

The Pig-Headed General withdrew his gaze and began to focus all his attention on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

"So what if my army suffers many casualties? Haha, as long as my king is still here, I can have as many soldiers as I want."

The dragon-man's attacks never stopped; he had no intention of giving his enemy a chance to catch his breath.

"Pah, a bunch of inhuman bastards..."

The Pig-Headed General sneered. His Pig-Headed Clan had long since lost all moral compass under the influence of the [Hungry Ones], and everything was now dominated by hunger.

From the moment they devoured their companion, they too fell into the abyss...

The ground cracked, forming a small pit. The pig-headed general's aura surged. He gripped the incoming weapon tightly with one hand and used the other to knock the dragonman away.

"Bang!"

The pig-headed general twisted his neck, revealing a cruel smile, and dragged his large cleaver closer and closer to the dragon-man lying in the deep pit on the ground.

"I have to thank your magic for this. Although your aura is unpleasant, your magic is so pure..."

The dragon-woman in the deep pit wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Unexpectedly, her magic was the first to run out, while the pig-headed general had recovered most of his magic by absorbing hers.

The dragon-woman looked at the pig-headed general who kept walking towards her and gave a wry smile.

"I've really messed up this time."

The pig-headed general grinned menacingly, raised his large cleaver, and aimed it at the head for a fatal blow.

"Die..."

But just then, General Pighead felt a chill run down his spine, and a deadly sense of crisis surged up.

He instinctively stopped his attack, slightly turned his body, and a slash flew past his face, splattering blood everywhere.

"Trying to bully a young lady? Have you forgotten I exist?"

Gobuta jumped out of the pig-headed general's shadow at this moment, originally intending to slice off the pig's head with a sword, but he did not expect the other side to react so quickly.

However, this sneak attack had already caused considerable damage.

Gobuta followed up with a sweeping leg attack, perhaps out of his mind to dare to clash head-on with the pig-headed general.

"Bang!"

Gobuta felt as if he had kicked a steel plate, and he gasped in pain.

With its other foot stomping on the pig-headed general's head, the Frost Wolf caught the falling Gobta steadily.

With a grim expression, the Pig-Headed General covered one of his bleeding ears and slowly turned his head to look at Gobuta with the gaze one would give a dead man.

The veins on his forehead kept bulging.

This goofy-looking guy not only ambushed him, but what he couldn't stand the most was that he also kicked him twice in the head.

Gobuta saw the pig-headed general's gloomy gaze and inwardly cried out in alarm. He quickly used Shadow Movement to escape.

However, this time Gobuta first moved in front of the dragon woman, picked her up, and then left the original spot, putting the dragon woman down a long distance away from the pig-headed general.

"Call us over now, and give us this potion to restore our magic power."

Gobuta patted his chest triumphantly and handed the dragonman a bottle of magic potion.

"You?"

Although the dragonman was somewhat puzzled, he still took Gobuta's magic potion and gulped it down.

"Don't look down on me. I just chopped off that pig's ear. I haven't even shown my real skills yet!"

The dragonman ignored the guy who clearly loved to brag, and was surprised to find that his magic was slowly recovering.

"The effects of this magic potion..."

Gobuta saw that the dragonman was ignoring him. He had only saved her because she was an ally, and he couldn't worry about the wounded woman now. He had to deal with that big guy.

"Frost Wolf, let's go..."

Gobuta mounted his Frost Wolf and led his assault squad against the Pig-Headed General.

Gobuzang was overjoyed to see Gobuta return to the group.

"Captain Gobuta, you're finally back. I really thought you'd run away."

Gobuta laughed heartily and waved to his underlings.

"What are you saying? How could I abandon my own men? Besides, the two lords have said that abandoning one's comrades and deserting in battle is a grave crime!"

"Hehe, that puts our minds at ease."

The members of the Goblin Cavalry Vanguard Squad exchanged smiles, but at that moment...

A large cleaver came crashing down on their squad, accompanied by a sinister sound.

"You brats, do you even respect this general...?"

As the large cleaver hurtled towards him, Gobuta's aura suddenly changed, his eyes sharpening like a sword about to be drawn.
