Several hours passed until the evolution ritual was finished and the territory now had up to five thousand (5000) and possibly more Demon goblins inhabiting. By this time, Kingsley had come back to his senses and continued to oversee the evolution after all each and every single one of them were important to him. As for how the demon goblin population was increasing this rapidly. It was simple.
The poorest Goblin village was home to at the very least five hundred(500) goblins and villages with more food had at least a thousand (1000) or more inhabitants. The villages that the teams had encountered were all big ones because they had food in abundance here in the forest and had no natural predators since no predator would go out of their way to prefer extremely sour meat over juicy Orc meat or practically any other prey they could find
'"Everyone get some sleep, we will focus on the Tides from now on, after that we go Orc hunting" Kingsley said to Viktor but amplified his voice enough to be heard by all in the territory including the High Orcs who now had a vendetta against the Orc King.
"As you wish!" the Crowd replied managing to keep there excitement down.
Several hours had passed since the event began and now it was already evening. Kingsley wanted to assumed that the system had halted its attack for the players to rest but since no system message had appeared, it meant that the monsters in their first wave would join together with the second wave that was coming tomorrow.
"Hestia, tell the maids to prepare the food for donation" Kingsley said as he stood up from his chair to return back to the castle
"We expected that, it has all been processed and prepared for you" Hestia replied with a smile
"Thank you then, Make sure everyone gets something to eat and gets enough rest for the next wave" Kingsley said as he started walking in the direction pointed out by Hestia
"We are already on it" Hestia replied then turned back to go meet up with Viktor
The two were the ones truly in charge of Kingsley's army. Viktor was basically the commander in charge of the army, making sure that every demon goblin is trained and combat ready, ensuring that each goblin is well equipped and knows how to use their equipment while Hestia was more of a den mother who ensured that they were all fed and had access to all the basic amenities they needed to survive.
Hestia and Viktor had naturally appointed people who will serve in different positions to ensure that the army runs smoothly. The newly evolved Demon Goblins merged with the existing ones easily due to the sorting, all received combat training but not all were soldiers. Some fell under the control of Hestia who was more concerned with the management of the territory than its protection and the rest fell under Viktor's control who was naturally more concerned with its protection.
Kingsley was now standing in front of a massive heap of meat that had been cut, washed and looked it had been dried for preservation. Compared to the mountain, Kingsley looked small making him wonder exactly how much meat that was in it. Looking at the meat, Kingsley wanted to try something he hadn't so he created a massive bucket filled with powdered aspirin.
The point of this was simple, to see if the system would ignore his creation because the large material was authentic. If the system still donated the meat even after it had been touched with the aspirin then it meant that he had found another way of helping the people in his region
"System, I want to donate these" Kingsley said nervously after all he was breaking the rules though in a roundabout way
=========
Donation request detected
906 units of Treger meat
1200 units of Orc meat
…....
2,000,000 units of Meat detected
There are a total of 28,987,602 players in your region
Beginning random distribution in 3….2….1
==========
As the system finished counting, the mountain of meat vanished which startled Kingsley a big due to how sudden it was but he got over it quickly. Kingsley was already distracted at the fact that more than 2 million people didn't survive the first day of the event.
This wasn't 20 or 30 people that was being mentioned here, that was a whole 2 million people, gone. Even 20 people was already a lot of people to die at once in a single area but now he was hearing about the death of more than 2 million people.
Worse, this number didn't mean that the ones still alive were actually safe. Some of them may be in the same situation that the girl they rescued was in, some have fatal injuries that they cant do anything about because they don't have any medicine.
"Well, at least my experiment worked" Kingsley said seeing that the system didn't isolate the Aspirin sprinkled on the meat.
With his matter sorted out, Kingsley immediately pulled up the [Chat] function of the system and seeing that it was silent, probably because everyone was still recovering from their battle, Kingsley decided to leave an message telling all who bothered to check the chat about the possible effects of the meat.

Somewhere else inside the forest, a woman accompanied by some demonic looking creatures could be seen walking around a clearing filled with the bodies of creatures of all shapes and forms. From bipedal to four-legged creatures, the blood from these creatures formed several small streams that flowed through the small clearing.
"I really am the main character" The woman said with as a proud smile appeared on her smile,
"You guys are truly the best" She said as she patted the shoulder of one of the demonic looking beings.
===========
You have received a unit of meat from the Lord [Kingsley]
It has been placed in your inventory
===========
Seeing the system message, she immediately frowned. It was as though this guy was just bent on stealing all the attention from her.
"And how the fuck is he still alive?" She shouted in anger
Here she was celebrating the fact that she had survived the first wave of the event without any casualties then the anomaly comes along with meat that he is distributing to everyone. Stephanie didn't like what the meat in her inventory implied, the meat simply meant that the anomaly had long since wiped out the monsters in the first wave then took the time to sort them out before distributing it
