The Tiger Remade into a Breeding Livestock
Immediately after the desperate battle on Fox Island, Iris gathered her officers for an emergency meeting.
"We will mobilize all remaining forces to occupy Tiger Island."
The Beastman Union was on the brink of total annihilation.
Faced with a fleet made of iron ships that no attack could penetrate, and the blades of an iron-willed army that feared no death, the Beastman Union had suffered a crushing defeat. The Union had fought desperately to repel the invaders, but they were no match for the pirates in either quality or quantity.
In the end, every island except for Tiger Island fell under the control of the pirate grand fleet. The beastmen, stripped of their homes and subjected to the rule of Grid, were all reduced to slaves.
The men had their personalities erased.
Having forgotten their own names and the lives they once led, they were either turned into soldiers for Grid or exploited as labor to build a new nation. They would never return to who they were until the very moment they met their deaths.
The women, without exception, were reduced to sex slaves.
With collars that sealed their abilities locked around their necks, they were monitored 24 hours a day, and once the war ended, they were all scheduled to be processed into livestock. If those processed into livestock were to mate with the Master, the beastman population, which had been small, would multiply in an instant.
The foundation for the paradise and the nation the Master desired was almost complete.
Now, only Tiger Island remained. They would sink the now-hollow Beastman Union and build a capital there solely for the Master. They would establish the capital and found an empire to rule the world.
Iris was determined to make it happen. Once she was involved in the rebellion, the Master would constantly doubt her, and that would threaten even her surviving family.
She would not let that happen. To prevent it, she had to do her best to ensure the Master's wishes were fulfilled. No, she would make them come true.
Only then could she, her people, and her family all survive.
Driven by a sense of desperation, Iris hurried the occupation of Tiger Island.
"Those guys are paper tigers anyway. How could cowards who won't even step outside their island just because their leader is gone ever beat us?"
Although the atrocities committed by the tiger tribe leader, Tie, had resulted in a catastrophe that halved their total strength, the remaining half was more than enough to crush Tiger Island. No matter how ironclad their defenses, they could not withstand the rain of shells pouring down from all sides.
And there was another reason for pushing the invasion.
"We have to finish this quickly before others intervene. We can't let others snatch the meal we've worked so hard to prepare."
Other powers could swoop in and devour the lands where the beastmen lived.
Since ancient times, beastmen had been nothing more than spoils of war to humans.
The tails of the Gumiho were used to make valuables favored by noblewomen—scarves, coats, bags, gloves, and more. Because of this, there was an era when countless Gumiho had no choice but to live without their tails.
The bison tribe was treated not as sentient beings, but as livestock, simply because they could provide a constant supply of milk. Whenever they became useless, they were disposed of.
The rabbit tribe was used as breeding stock to conscript labor. Like the bison tribe, once their use as breeders was exhausted, they were always disposed of.
The turtle tribe endured an era of humiliation, treated as a kind of horse that had to pull the carriages of humans for their amusement.
The crocodile tribe was always hunted by humans because their tails were considered delicious,
And the tiger tribe had a history of being exploited as combat slaves for the sole reason that their combat ability was high.
Beyond these representative tribes, other beastmen were hunted and exploited by humans in the same way.
For the beastmen, it was an unforgettable shame. Humans, however, considered that shame trivial.
We were just hunting beasts. What is wrong with that?
That was how humans claimed they were innocent.
To protect themselves from such ugly humans, the beastmen formed a union. Knowing how strong that union was, humans had never dared to plan a full-scale invasion.
But now, that union was crumbling before a bunch of pirate rabble. How would they react when they heard this news?
With the Nechia Kingdom, which had controlled them, currently in chaos due to the absence of a king, would they really give up the chance to become rich?
They would definitely invade. They would surely strike while the Union was unable to respond in time due to fighting the pirates, and while the pirates were too focused on crushing the Union to pay attention to external enemies.
Such intelligence had already been captured.
"According to the information brought by our spies, they have already finished preparing for battle."
Shallow bastards were already gathering troops, saying the time had finally come to hunt the beastmen. They wouldn't attack immediately, but they had to prepare as soon as possible.
To do that, they had to destroy the cancer that was the Beastman Union. Fighting external enemies while internal ones existed could lead to mutual destruction.
And it wasn't just the ugly human masses they had to be wary of.
"Suspicious movements have been detected in the Great Forest as well. The elves are also planning to dispatch an army if things go wrong."
Elves. Isolationists who would never leave the Great Forest. They interacted with the outside world, but never more than necessary.
Those guys were now watching this place with hawk-like eyes. They were famous as isolationists, but elves were the type to eliminate any existence that threatened the Great Forest, no matter what.
"I heard that bastard Tie sent an envoy to request reinforcements. If I had known sooner, I would have caught them..."
Iris regretted it, but the water was already spilled.
Therefore, she had to finish everything before it was too late.
"We finish this decisively before they make a move."
Occupy Tiger Island, destroy the Beastman Union, reorganize their forces, and prepare for the invasion of external powers.
There was no one who opposed Iris's decision.
Thus, the assault on Tiger Island, the final bastion of the Beastman Union, began.
"And, the Union was destroyed."
Talia briefly explained the process of Tiger Island's collapse.
"The bison tribe, the rabbit tribe, and the turtle tribe helped us. Since those three tribes were the only ones we could trust."
The bison tribe was pro-Grid from the start, beginning with their leader, Kau. The cows following Kau were the same. So, when Iris requested support, they immediately dispatched heavy armored cavalry as reinforcements.
Levi, the leader of the rabbit tribe, also readily accepted the request for reinforcements. The rabbit tribe had almost been wiped out because of the Beastman Union, so she must have been dying to retaliate.
Since the opportunity for revenge had arrived, Levi was not one to let it slip. She gathered the troops who survived the invasion and dispatched them as reinforcements.
The turtle tribe, including their leader Akelon and the residents, had sworn to follow Grid from the beginning. So, they dispatched reinforcements without a word.
"The tigers are so stupid, too. It would have been better if they had surrendered. Even though it was all over, they struggled to fight until the very end."
Iris had issued an ultimatum to the tiger tribe.
Surrender immediately if you don't want to see your home become a wasteland. Throw down your weapons and surrender immediately if you don't want your entire race to be reduced to slaves.
The tiger tribe rejected that ultimatum, and Iris launched an all-out attack.
"As promised, the island turned into a wasteland, and the surviving tiger tribe became slaves."
It took only three hours for the tiger tribe to be defeated.
Just as she had warned, Iris turned the island into a wasteland where not a single blade of grass grew, and she took all the residents as slaves.
That was how the Beastman Union was destroyed.
"Ugh... ugh..."
Where are the residents?
When those words appeared on the board, Talia answered.
"Here on Fox Island. They are being remade quite nicely, just like the Gumiho."
"Ugh..."
"It's no use getting that angry."
Talia grabbed Tie's chin, who was glaring at her as if to kill, with one hand.
"You are destined to become livestock, just like the residents."
"Ugh..."
"Now, let's stop the small talk. I've talked too long."
Saying that, Talia held up a remote control with a red button.
"Tie. Sing us a good song again today, okay? The residents are always doing their best thanks to your singing."
"Ugh..."
Tie glared at Talia with resentment, but naturally, there was nothing she could do.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"
The torture began again.
"Hiccup, huff, huff!"
Through the pads attached to every corner of her body, and through the needles inserted into her nipples and clitoris, electric current was injected. A massive amount of current, enough to cause sparks, scorched Tie's skin, muscles, blood vessels, bones, and nerves.
Screams erupted incessantly from Tie's open mouth,
Her whole body twisted so violently that the delivery bed rattled, as if it couldn't hold her,
And her breasts heaved wildly, as if they were about to fall off.
"Hiccup, huff, huff!"
Two thick rods inserted into her vagina and anus.
These two rods, connected to a rectangular mechanical device, pounded away. They continued to pound without regard for Tie's intestines rupturing or blood flowing from inside her vagina. While pounding, they continuously emitted electric current.
What would be the result if electric current flowed through a passage filled with moisture?
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"
Her lower body trembled more violently than her upper body. Sparks flew more intensely, and smoke rose more heavily. It was scorched so severely that it felt like a fire might break out at any moment.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"
Naturally, her tongue also had a pad attached, and it was being well-scorched. As evidence, smoke was rising from her mouth.
"Huff, huff, huff!"
The bucket-shaped mechanical device on her head was also working hard. It was diligently sending electric current into Tie's brain. So much smoke was rising that one might even mistake it for the machine breaking down.
"Augh, huff, huff!"
Tie looked at Talia with moist eyes as if begging,
"Hmm, the drug is going in well."
Talia was merely observing.
"Hang in there a little longer, Tie. That's the only way you can become breeding livestock."
Currently, a thick hose was inserted into Tie's lower abdomen. A hypodermic needle was attached to the end of the hose, and the needle had pierced through to her uterus.
The drug was being injected in that state.
Talia was injecting the drug from the large container attached to the other end of the hose into Tie's uterus.
'Many Gumiho who got pregnant after taking this will surely respond.'
This drug was made using herbs brought from Rabbit Island. After successfully saving Rabbit Island from the Beastman Union, Artria had brought boxes filled with herbs. Talia used these herbs to create a drug that allowed for ovulation at any time once injected.
Thanks to this, many Gumiho who had difficulty getting pregnant were able to conceive. In fact, thanks to this drug, the plan to mass-produce the Gumiho tribe was as good as successful.
She was now injecting that drug into Tie. And more than the appropriate amount, at that. Side effects might occur, but Talia didn't care.
If she could ovulate every day due to side effects, that would be a very good thing.
Because then she could get pregnant every day and give birth every day.
To that end, electric torture was also being performed in parallel. Because if she stimulated her to ovulate at any time, her body would automatically generate eggs.
If it succeeded, they would be able to quickly replenish their lacking troops.
"So, show me good results, Tie."
Talia smiled, genuinely and desperately hoping for success.
"That's the only way you can give birth to many."
"Ugh, ugh!"
"Try to give birth to at least triplets if possible. That's the only way it'll be profitable, okay?"
"Ugh, ugh!"
Don't make me laugh! What do you mean by profitable! I won't move according to your will! I will never forgive you, I won't forgive you!
Even if she wanted to roar like that, Tie couldn't.
"Huff, huff, huff!"
She only made pathetic sounds.
"Huff, huff, haaaaaa!"
The torture continued until the smell of her being scorched golden-brown filled the laboratory.
