Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 155: First Victory and the Main Enemy Army

Give me everything you have! I remember saying this before. Don't worry, I'm not at that age where you start forgetting things. It hasn't even been three years since I reincarnated. Such concerns are not necessary. But, Are these words I'm saying really something I'm saying? Yet the event I was contemplating had been projected onto the big screen in front of me, it was just a small thought behind my head. Big screen before I project the victory of the tempestuous army.

That's good .

There was no problem with it, but the contents were too terrifying. Their level of error caused this battle to develop into a one-sided raid. Gobuta, displaying an un-Gobuta coolness, as she bolts across the battlefield, destroying tanks left and right. Gabil became Gabil, turning into a powerful-looking Dragonoid Magin figure, hitting down the enemy ship with one unnatural powerful strike.

Not just Gabil, everyone in Hiryu's army transformation is not funny. The material "Dragon Warriorization" has been noted, but to think they can master it without going berserk. And the decisive step, was an explosion in the air. I'm not sure which madman went mad, created a hot nuclear explosion in the air, and wrapped the imperial flying army in a blazing fire.

At that moment the imperial air force fell into an irreversible state.with it as a kickoff, the great offense of Tempest began. In modern warfare, helicopters have a tremendous advantage over tanks. Similarly, the Blue Corps and Hiryu Troops rained down on their breath attacks from above, inflicting great damage on the imperial ground troops.

However, there is a reason why everything went so smoothly. This is thanks to the active role of our military intelligence officers. With the ability to visually discern the strong, regardless of army or general, everything he saw would turn into a blood feast. In fact, through Wisdom King Raphael's analysis, there was an enemy that had power above a mixed general among the opponents of Veyron, Cien, Moss, and Zonda.

I'm afraid, "Otherworlder", or someone strong among the empires is hiding in their midst. Quickly looking through this, they are dealt with before the operation begins.

How scary, strong and intelligent eyes.

Meanwhile, something was amiss behind the imperial army. Displayed to the big screen, are the smiling faces of Testarossa and Ultima. There is no way to confirm other victims.

There were hundreds of tanks stalled in their tracks, the army supporting logistics reserves all fell to the ground.

Their number, in ten thousand.

I don't know exactly what happened, but I understand something very dangerous happened

The King of Wisdom Raphael,

《Jawab. Use of large-scale cancellation magic "thanks to death" confirmed》

Answered like that.

A kind of nuclear attack magic, a magic that utilizes a demonic death ray to annihilate life, he explains, is,

Don't use such dangerous magic! Even if I cry hard, no one can stop this.

After all, victory was decided at that moment. I originally wanted to declare the end of the battle there .. but!

At that point, there's no need for this.

The ten thousand soldiers left from the battle, all disappeared at the next moment. Quartet spell: Monster's Arc Sanctuary activated.

With Moss as the spearhead, the 4 bow demons spread towards the 4 corners of the battlefield. This allowed them to activate the quartet's spell. Due to the strong initial preparation of weeding, there was no interruption in preparing this spell.

Comparing that to the nearby Testarossa that could activate their large-scale destruction magic was on a completely different level.

However, they were by no means weak, it was just a poor target choice to compare to.

The Monster's Arc, as the name suggests, had no effect on monsters.

Conversely, Humans who were unfamiliar with the Magic Essense, would experience a death-triggering effect. Once that barrier was in place, even the magicians with its magic barrier collapsed, the enhanced humans were only strengthened for the battle to say, unable to withstand the effects.

Then something terrible happened, the flesh of the people who could not resist started to rot, and turned into magic essence. Within a few minutes, even what was left, turned into magic essence. Exactly like that, the first battle with the Imperial army ended. Or rather, the first encounter with the empire resulted in the total destruction of their army.

They are, in every sense of the word, completely wiped out. There is no military term to describe this.

This doesn't make any sense at all.

All I told them was to give it their all, and here's the result.

And then towards me,

“What to say, ah. Isn't my battle plan completely pointless now! What's up with that, girls! And that military intelligence officer! But I have to say even if they are Rimuru's direct subordinates alike, shouldn't they explain it themselves? ” Benimaru turned towards me with a smile.

Yeah right .... right?

But no battle plan? But you know what, Benimaru.

You are not the only one who wants an explanation. Or rather, I want someone to explain to me what this is all about! I can't even think of any excess reasons to make ...... “That's the new friends Diablo chose.

I thought it would be bad news if the enemy also had demon ruling class individuals, so I also assigned them.

It seems like they are giving away a little of the best of the best.

Well, Diablo's gonna give them a lecture from now on. ”

I will push this to Diablo, and handle it safely. I mean, I don't think the devil is going to cause such a big mess.

Those guys, too "cool".

They annihilated the enemy army, without hesitation.

However,

"Kufufuf. They were a little overdone, they were too excited.

I will be sure to re-educate them (fully) ”

Refrain! I did not forget to tell that smiling Diablo.

After finishing the explanation, I began to confirm the cause-and-effect of the first battle. In less than 2 hours since the battle began, it ended quickly.

Although there seemed to be a large number of injured, they had all recovered. Since everyone was given 10 mid-tempest potions to hold, most of the damage was immediately healed.

Moreover, those who I thought were originally dead, thanks to the squad leaders who used their complete herbs, have made a total recovery and survived in their lives. Under Benimaru's orders, the passes play their part perfectly. That's why Benimaru doesn't falter.

As a result, even though the recovery potion was used en masse, the total death count was 0. It was an unthinkable victory. However, this does not mean we escaped the damage without punishment. There was Gabil, and his subordinates were Hiryu's troops.

Because of the unique skill 『The dragon』 warriors they have received a huge physical attack to their bodies.

This skill forcibly created a body that would rival a dragonoid. However, they can only maintain it for 30 minutes, and it cannot be used more than once every 2 days.

For this reason, there will be side effects after use, causing their bodies to be in a difficult state of being unable to move for 48 hours.

Yes, it's great that we get a win after they give it their all, but if they misjudge the situation, this will be a self-destructive skill.

Well, since Gabil got carried away, not only him, but also everyone in Hiryu's squad suffered a side effect penalty. Lucky to only come this far, that was all they could think of now.

Then, damage from the imperial side ... There were no prisoners, because they were all dead.

Total, 240,000.

I have obtained their souls, and thus I know the exact number. This feeling, it seems like my subordinates are gathering souls for me. There was a short period right when the battle started, it felt like I was accumulating souls at a very high level.

If gathering 10,000 souls would allow the demon lord to evolve into a rising demon king, what would happen if you gathered 240,000 souls?

The answer is, nothing! That's it .

When I woke up as a true demon king, it could be said that I had reached the peak of my evolution.

Yes of course.

Otherwise, Guy would have long pushed humans toward extinction, reaping all their souls. I think he might intuitively realize that he can't evolve anymore, so he refrains from slaughter. However, this could be used for things other than evolution itself.

"Watching . The predetermined number of souls has been obtained. Currently, it can be used on two members connected through a soul link. Likely targets, were the monsters mentioned below.

Ranga, Benimaru, Shion, Gabil, Gerudo,

Diablo, Testarossa, Ultima, Carrera

Kumara, Zegion, Adalman.

Those who had the qualifications to rise as demon kings, were the ones at the top. The prescribed amount [soul: 100,000] will be consumed. Do you want to develop your Subsidiaries? YES NO "

Wisdom King Raphael had just said some very unreasonable things. In one way or another, it seems that I have obtained enough souls to give someone the qualification to be awakened as a demon lord.

However, it costs 10 times above me. This is something no one knew about until now. If one knew, this would be an economical way to let his comrade become a demon lord.

Maybe the boys might know. Therefore, he might place Walpurgis as a superior and gather everyone together, choosing the worthy among them as a comrade.

There may be other reasons besides that. Maybe I've exaggerated it, or maybe there are some other unknown reasons.

Although I only said 100,000 souls, it was a number that could only be obtained from the massacre of a large city. It's not something you did in the past. I noticed after that, but "connected through the soul link" was mentioned.

Most likely, this means connecting with the soul through “nama”. Growing after being named. I've been rash to use this, but recently I realized that doing it is also risky.

Consuming a large amount of magic essence as its cost, then connecting it through a weak body. Then, the remaining magic essence was stored, only spending when it was needed. This can only be done, as there is a comfortable skill, the pocket of my King of Gluttony Beelzebub.

If they do not have my skills, they will not be able to easily access the stored magic essence, those with "Name" will understand this easily.

That's why it's better if there are fewer subordinates connected to the soul. I cannot deny this is a privilege given only to me.

This incident, let's end it with NO. I felt that this was the closest shave, and then there was the difficulty of choosing who.

And the qualified choice is also questionable.

If we only use the amount of Magic essence, then Souei must also qualify. Since I'm not sure of the details, let's leave it aside for now.

However, more than 200,000 people have died.

It's slaughter.

Even so, my heart felt no pain.

I have already become a demon lord, and killed 10,000 people with my own hands, there is no reason for that. The person who was killed also had a family, but if I think like this, it will continue. Then, are the people who sent their families to sinless calamity? If I think like this, the responsibilities are endless.

If there is a war, there will be death. If people choose to fight, then one must take responsibility not to oppose it. Be it a constitutional state or an imperial government, this will not change.

Ignorance is a sin.

Saying I don't know isn't a valid reason. Those who lack imagination are also sinners.

Their relatives entered the battle with no confidence to die, there was no point in complaining afterwards. Directing cannon fire towards civilians is wrong as a nation and as a person, but even if we destroy the occupying forces, they have no right to complain.

It is because we, too, entered the battlefield with the belief of being wiped out. Although there was no persuasion coming from me that was disjointed when his subordinates were injured. Emotions and reasons are different, let's settle with that.

Besides, the war is not over. It seemed that the main army of the empire, made up of 700,000 ground troops, entered from the western border of the Dwarf Kingdom and the Great Jura Forest, charging towards Tempest.

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

It has been a week since the battle began, and the main forces of the empire have finally entered our territory. The tanks were retrieved thanks to Gobuta, and the wreckage of the plane was also ordered to be retrieved.

The returned Gabil was ordered to work with Gobuta. There was no need to rush back, Benimaru had already taken it out.

Of course, this is a big win.

But I'm not careless, we also have a second power, and Diablo seems to be rather active. As a military intelligence officer, Carrera now follows Gerudo. And, inside the control room Testarossa and colleagues have also returned.

However, if the imperial army also had strong individuals, then they should be allowed to attack. The other executives also seemed quite excited. Shion also wants to go to war,

"The demons, they're too flashy! If I were there, I would show them what true power is! ” He said, regretting the fact he did not go to the battlefield,

"Aren't you supposed to be my guardian?" After I asked her, she frantically regained her composure.

And now that he was completely obedient, when something happened it would be fine to order him to attack. Since we are in the deepest part of the dungeon, the enemy needs time to get here.

Thinking about our remaining strength, it is small compared to 700,000 enemies. However, the quality of our soldiers is completely different, putting aside the executives, even the soldiers at the other end of the shift.

It seems that my orders are effective, because it has boosted their morale. What to do next, is the problem. We can ignore them or give them a glaring warning, but the battle has already been declared.

Even if we launch a surprise attack, you cannot call it cowardice.

However, a small number of surprise attacks will have a limited effect, should we use nuclear attack magic. No, should I give them a proper warning?

But everyone is eager to bring more souls to me, I will only dampen their spirits. What I would do with a collected soul, I don't even know why I thought of this.

Demons, it seems, have a fondness for the emotional residue engraved on the soul. There's no way I want that.

Still, 700,000 people.

Enough to arouse my 7 subordinates, it is rather frightening when you think about it. To begin with, we must plan how to achieve victory without sacrifice on our part.

Our best bet, though, is to lure them to a dungeon. If it's inside the basement, the casualties from our troops can be reduced to 0. Or rather, since we can also treat the monsters inside the dungeon as part of the attack power, the strength of our troops will increase drastically.

If so, even if we disregard the quality of our numbers could be equivalent to 700,000.

Benimaru's battle plan, is to put the second corps in front of Tempest, completely strengthening our defenses. After that, we have sorted through the enemy's intelligence, and confirmed some powerful individuals in the mix.

In reality, although modern warfare is determined by numbers, in this world the strong are the ones who turn the tide of battle. This was evident in the first battle. This is the theory behind prioritizing getting rid of the threatening first.

umu's.

Of course, the magic barrier might not be able to defend against the average nuclear attack magic. However, it definitely could not defend against the "death blessing" Should I form a demonic special attack force consisting only of military intelligence officers to annihilate the enemy?

I thought about it for a moment. No, if we do that, it will also crush a huge mess into the forest. Above all, if this was during a defensive situation, we would lose our greatest attack power.

The enemy defense of a large army was basically rather well prepared, there would be people who could deploy holy barriers. When Moss and his partner first went to uproot the powerful people, there were some who could set up barriers.

There would be no point in using large-scale annihilation if the enemy had the means to defend against it.

In terms of combat tactics I'm just an amateur, Benimaru is more expert on this. I'll leave everything to her, while I'm just playing the role of the doll.

In the end, the warning was unnecessary. The troops that were moving south from the direction of the old Pharmaceutical kingdom, were naturally also aiming for Tempest.

Just in case, if they start attacking the old Pharmaceutical kingdom, we will start an attack from behind them, but this is just an unfounded fear.

Currently, the new Kingdom is being raised in Pharmacy, by Youmu.

Secretly giving us behind-the-scenes support, they no longer have the strength to fight. In the middle of that, they have given us surveillance support.

I really don't want them to get in danger, so I feel relieved by this.

In addition, the Dwarf King offered us his support, but we replied and said we could handle it.

Leaving this behind, we asked for permission to go through their territory.

After gathering everyone's opinion, we were the only ones needed for the final decision.

The Dwarf King also helped us keep an eye on, and information began to flow in.

However, we don't really need it, but we accept it with good intentions.

Using Surveillance magic allows us to monitor the scenes one by one, very convenient for moments like this.

meanwhile, we let Souei's subordinates do some monitoring, not having to worry about any illusions displayed on the monitors.

With this feeling, we proceed to prepare for the second battle.

Since the holy knights stormed using the same route, we prepared the entrance to the basement along the way.

In that case, if the empire ignored the dungeon and headed straight for the tempest, the volunteers in the dungeon could come out and attack from behind.

Although a pincer attack can compensate for the lack of numbers, we must be prepared to make a huge sacrifice.

We will respond based on the actions they take.

Preferably, we expect at least half of them will enter the basement.

I don't know if my expectations will be achieved, but I hope it will progress as I expect.

The troops were passing through the dungeon and heading to the number 200,000 Tempest.。

Enemies camped around a dungeon of about 500,000.

It might temporarily confirm the status of the Tempest invasion, and also plan a way to capture the dungeon.

It seemed that they were shocked by the disappearance of the cities around the dungeon, and without a doubt turned into the capture of the dungeon.

The greedy man.

Making them focus entirely on one of them would be bad news for us.

To be exact, it would be fine if they bit the dungeon bait, but if the entire army headed for the capital then a violent battle was inevitable.

Despite calling it a small battle, it was actually a decoy for the main force, but once this intelligence leaked out, then it lost its purpose.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, dividing one's strength was a fundamental stupid move.

Although it was the thought of an amateur, but I thought of dropping it one by one.

"victory"

In return for my murmurs,

"Ah ... our victory"

Benimaru answered happily.

In earnestness, that wise tactic is our victory.

After that, as long as they do not defeat us with brute force, it is our victory.

"It's great that idiots entered the labyrinth"

"That's right . However, this was thanks to the same Rimuru who spread the bait earlier.

On top of all that good they bite him. ”

"that's right .

Although I'm not sure what Yuuki's goal is, but the lures sown causing them to split up are the best results

Moreover, we only aim for the kingdom to move within.

Well, all we have to do is simulate their desires, they can't possibly ignore the basement.

Worse case scenarios, the capital will burn to ashes, and the decisive battle we will have in the dungeon. ”

“If nothing serious, the capital will probably be safe and sound.

Depending on the situation, I'll go out on my own. ”

When Beimaru said so,

“No need for that.

Rimuru alike, before Benimaru leaves, can you let me go first?

Shion appealed.

Well, being my personal guard is an important role, but the control room is the safest place.

They could instantly teleport back, and there were also Testa and Ul reflecting by my side due to the excessive violence.

Note: Who? Update: Yes it's Testa and Ul. Special thanks to everyone who showed it.

Besides, Veldora is also watching the fight right beside me, so it's not dangerous if we need guards.

That won't be a problem.

"It would be difficult if it was just the power of Gerudo, your corps also needs some experience. I'll allow you to go. But, don't overdo it! ”

"Wa wa, thank you so much!" Shion smiled widely, giving Benimaru a "How is it!", and left the control room.

Diablo also bowed to me, and left with a big smile. It's going to be hard to stop Diablo. After all, he was the most motivated of them all.

Benimaru shrugged, and let go of the idea of entering the fray.

So, she stayed with me and joined the audience group. This is a joke for the supreme commander to be on the front lines, however if you ask me if this is reasonable I would say of course it is.

Thus, the decisive battle against the 700,000 imperial troops had begun.
