The next day, the atmosphere in the area became even heavier.
Caleb declared that the monster within the food forest was extremely powerful, and no one could defeat it—not even himself.
Because of this, he decided to grant everyone the freedom to enter the forest. Whoever could gather food would depend entirely on their abilities. However, Caleb would not care whether they lived or died or offered them any protection.
Meanwhile, Caleb blocked the entrance to the river, and everyone was still required to abide by the existing rules. However, the toll to access the river was slightly reduced.
Upon hearing this, though fear gripped many, a few reckless individuals still saw this as an opportunity to obtain more food.
Some did not believe Caleb's words, thinking he was merely trying to scare them.
Of course, Caleb did not care whether the Lords believed him.
If they entered the forest, their survival would depend entirely on their skills and luck.
