Chapter 2186 Orc Curse Chapter 48
According to the plan of Beastmaster Lottie Sandrak and Mighty Brick, they would defeat half of the 14 Beastmasters outside of the rebellious Horde, which is 7. More than half of the remaining 15 Beastmasters would be on their side.

With more than half of the Beast Kings and the majority of the herbivorous Beastmen, the majority of the Beastman race would support communication with humans. At that point, they could challenge the Great Beast God, defeat him, and then legitimately replace the Great Beast God's oracle, allowing the Beastmen to communicate with humans.

This complex process is designed to prevent the orcs from uniting to attack humans out of revenge for the death of the Great Beast God, or from erupting into internal strife over the struggle for the Great Beast God's position, after the Great Beast God is directly killed.

However, the problem with the Silverback Orc King has cast uncertainty on whether this plan can proceed smoothly.

It wasn't that the gorilla-beastman king was an undercover agent, but rather that the beastman king also practiced symbiosis.

They have all witnessed what kind of beastmen are; one of them was just killed here.

Once someone engages in communal eating and becomes addicted to it, they are insane and unable to control their desire to continue.

Being powerful or accustomed to it doesn't prevent the ghoul beastmen from becoming addicted to ghoul-eating; they just appear more normal. Take Silverback, the gorilla beastman king, for example. After the bull beastman king went back to investigate, he came to a shocking conclusion: Silverback was ghoul-eating every day, eating beastmen.

The ghouls are definitely destabilizing elements and disruptive factors. With them around, even if they have more than half of the beast kings and the support of all the herbivorous beastmen, it will be useless. The ghouls will only go completely out of control and attack the herbivorous beastmen.

If a ghoul-eating beast king were to lead the way, it would plunge the entire beastman region into utter chaos. It is now certain that the gorilla beastman king is not the only ghoul-eating beastman among the 22 beast kings.

The best way to eliminate this hidden danger is to behead them, killing all the other Beast Kings who share the same savage beast king.

Originally, they only needed to randomly select a few Beast Kings and challenge them directly, without even needing Dali Feizhuan and the others to take action. However, after the incident of the Beast Kings being eaten together, the problem became much bigger.

After communal eating, the beastmen's power will increase significantly due to the forbidden act. For example, the gorilla beastman king directly touched the minor limit of LV250. The beast king on the side of the rebellious tribe may not be able to win for sure. If he loses, he will be eaten in public, which will in turn enhance the power of the communal-eating beast king.

However, they cannot avoid the Beast King of Hybridity; they must target the Beast King of Hybridity. Therefore, the Little Angel, who possesses the Judgment skill, is needed to identify which Beast King of Hybridity is being targeted.

"This may not necessarily be a bad thing."

Kate the Cat offered a different perspective on the Beastmasters' concerns.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If there are beast kings who practice communal eating, it means that there are beast kings who are unwilling to practice communal eating, who despise communal-eating beastmen, and who regard them as enemies. In this respect, beast kings who resist communal eating may become our allies."

“But the reverse is also true. Would they think that they would rather fight us alongside the ghouls than betray us by trading with humans?” Beast King Lottie Sandrak shook her head and said, “It is too difficult to recruit other Beast Kings. Apart from us, all the other Beast Kings are carnivorous beastmen.”

“If they were willing to rebel, there wouldn’t just be a few of us in the rebellious tribes.”

Kate Cat's gaze lingered for a moment on Bai Xiaonao, the White Tiger Beastman King, who was clearly a carnivorous beastman.

Beastmaster Lottie Sandrak immediately explained, "Her situation is rather special; she grew up in the Gianthoof tribe." "...So, we really need to address the carnivorous beastmen as well. The food problem shouldn't be limited to the herbivorous beastmen," Kate the Cat asked.

"...Yes, carnivorous orcs need to go on risky hunts to obtain food, which is why their numbers are much smaller than herbivorous orcs. In addition to the risks, there is also the problem that the number of monsters that can be hunted safely is gradually decreasing."

Ecosystems are like a giant domino effect; if one falls, the others will follow suit. The food harvested by the herbivorous orcs from their farmland is not only for their own consumption but also for the consumption of other herbivores in the orcish region.

To herbivorous beastmen, these herbivores are bad beasts that steal food, but to carnivorous beastmen, these herbivores are delicious, plump animals that roam in fixed areas.

However, due to the overcorrection of the Great Beast God's divine decree, the herbivorous beastmen no longer managed the land. The farmland was abandoned, and weeds with little nutritional value grew there. The herbivores also began to migrate, and the carnivorous beastmen's food supply decreased accordingly.

Herbivorous orcs have to venture out to defeat dangerous plant monsters in order to obtain nutritious food. Carnivorous orcs do the same, but the pressure is slightly less, as the food crisis they face is not as obvious as that faced by herbivorous orcs.

"If we want to solve the food crisis of the carnivorous beastmen, the only way is to..." The powerful flying brick, who had come closer, subconsciously wanted to say a word, but immediately realized what he was doing and covered his mouth.

In that nameless paladin's memory, the person wearing the bishop's robes compared the enslavement of orcs to humans domesticating animals.

Of course, to these experienced players, this is blatant misrepresentation. It's something people who don't even believe themselves say to put their minds at ease, and then they start to believe it themselves.

In fact, raising animals and breeding slaves are two completely different things. Players can figure out the difference, but NPCs may not.

"You mean domestication, right? Don't worry, orcs have no objection to domesticating animals for food. It's just that domestication, like farming, has been prohibited under the divine decree of the Great Beast God."

"Isn't this going too far?" Mighty Flying Brick expressed his thoughts. "It's like they'll die as soon as they get involved with human civilization. Why doesn't the Great Beast God just seal off the weapons?"

"..."

"No way." Lottie Sandrak's silence made Mighty Brick's lips twitch.

“But that won’t have much of an impact.” Beast King Lottie Sandrak planted a greatsword into the ground. “We have created a series of equipment that are unique to us orcs. Unfortunately, it may only take a few years to create a unique weapon, but it is not possible to create a way of cultivating the land and obtaining food that is completely different from that of humans in a few hundred years.”

"Let's start here then. That guy's here too." Mighty Brick glanced at the time and activated the [Emergency SOS] spell.

"I found an expert in this field."
