Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 36: Participation in the War

Three days have passed since we left. We can reach the swamp.

Since we were unable to replenish our water reserves along the way, I had used water from my stomach, but it also seemed to have filled everyone with strength.

Come to think of it, since it continues to flow in my magic power, this might just be the effect the water gets.

When departing we focus on minimizing luggage to maximize speed.

Thanks to that, we were able to arrive sooner than expected. Before proceeding, we must confirm the current situation.

The meeting with the Lizardmen Chairman is scheduled for tomorrow, and we have no reason to worry yet.

So, I ordered everyone to stand by and rest. Tension filled the air.

Now, for reconnaissance .. [Rimuru-sama, I will go. ] Souei immediately offered. He was not wearing any armor. Instead, he wore chain webbing from my steel webbing. No question about it – it's built for agility. According to him, I won't be hit, so there's no need! Such were the arrogant and quick words of this handsome man. So ... somehow I managed to reply. This time as well, I can entrust this mission to him with confidence. [Alright then, Souei. Go, confirm the situation for me. If possible, check how good the abilities of the pig boss are!] Saying so, I sent him out. Of course, he will find many interesting things with his very high ability. [Rimuru-sama, do you mind if we rampage like we like this time around?] Benimaru asked. Frankly, because I don't know about situations that I can't say. So, [Hmm? I don't mind, but can you back off properly once I order a retreat?] So I say. Benimaru showed a fearless smile. [That signal, I think it's unnecessary? After all, it would be an annihilation! Weren't you?] Confident like that. You too, yeah! So I thought. Good men are full of confidence, is not .. if we win .. Act very arrogant but lose! Had it happened, the shame would have been unbearable. This person might not be worried about such things, right? Oh well. [Don't be rash, okay?] So I said, and ended the conversation with a shrug. Shion was enchanted, admiring his sword. Soon he would be allowed to rampage as he pleased! A smile like that appeared on his face.

Had he not been too chatty, he would have been a cool Shion. The girl, enchanted with her sword, made an extremely dangerous impression. Let's act as if we haven't seen it, yeah. It was the best thing for my mental health. As expected of Hakurou, he was calm as usual. Or should I say: as bright and as clean as a stainless mirror, really a dignified presence that comes from an expert person. However, [No opponent drowned my teeth ..] He muttered, but my ears did not miss.

Seriously, I wonder if all these Ogre people are overconfident? They lost once against the same opponent, so I thought they would be more vigilant in this situation. That kind of worry makes me sigh. But . . . . that my concern was completely unnecessary, evident soon after. 2 hours later . (Is it acceptable now?) Confirming the battle formation, I received a telepathic message. (What? Did you find anything?) (No, just a single Lizardman, running towards us) (What? Do you understand why?) (Yes, according to the information of the clones, the war has begun in the marshes, though I have warned them not to act alone ..) (Oh, is the one who leads them by the name of Lizardmen, Gabil? Overconfident person ..) (That's possible. What should I do about the lizardman?) Fumu's. The war has already begun. But has the outcome been decided? Instead, maybe we made it in time. It is necessary to confirm the state of the battle from above. Well, about Lizadman .. (Let's hear the story. Whether it is the Chairman's decision or not, we need to confirm their intentions.) (As you want!) I broke the connection. So, it's already started. I thought we could enjoy a long-awaited break, but the situation seemed to dictate otherwise. So greet everyone, [Listen! The break is over. The war has begun. Now I will command from above! You follow my orders, prepare yourself for war!]

Hearing my words, everyone's faces stiffened. [ Understood. For honor and glory!] Shion replied and Benimaru nodded, Mattress leisurely walking forward. I grow wings from my back. Wings open holes in clothing, but once the wings disappear, the holes will close. The clothes will change shape. A truly comfortable ability. [It was a command . I'm forbidding you to die. This is not a decisive battle. Don't get me wrong!] Hearing my words, [[Oooo ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o !!!]] They let out a battle cry. While nodding, I soared into the sky.

From above, I observed the battle. What could not be seen with the naked eye alone was clearly visible with [Magic Perception]. It's almost like you're observing with a satellite far beyond the clouds. The current situation is bad for the Lizardmen. Clearly, the situation had degenerated to where they could do nothing and were surrounded. They somehow managed to hold back the Orcs, which seemed to be caused by the desperate push from their commander. However, they obviously would not last long. The commander looks familiar. It's Gabil. I thought he was just a fool, but it seems I have underestimated him. For a commander, it is fatal to not be able to see the bigger picture. However, no one would expect a young commander who had no experience to observe well the entire theater. At any age and in any country, not every commander is the best.

However, had he survived and learned from this experience, he would probably have been the best. It's a shame he died here. So I thought. then issued the order. (Benimaru, listen to my request. First, the circled Lizardmen. Help 'em! After that, do as you please. The details you will hear from Hakurou) Reply with pleasure at my command. (Understand! Would it be okay if I went there with Ranga?) (I leave it to you!) So I started to turn the tide of the war. In fact, above the clouds, thinking while observing the clashes of the troops and being able to understand their every move, gave me an overwhelming sense of superiority. I should also note that through the "Thought Transmission", air information can be sent to each soldier. . . . . Modern warfare information tactics can be implemented in a fantasy world. . Unlike conventional armies, the amount of information provided was very different. With this, it is possible even for individual units to maneuver properly. In fact, it allows for individual movement. When I thought like that, Souei called. (Rimuru-sama, it seems that their wings were taken. The Chairman's son, Gabil, had caused a rebellion. Next, Head was locked up in the basement.

They had also been attacked by orcs, and anxiety spread among their troops. ) So, so he is his son. In addition, we must not allow anything to happen to the Head

So I have an idea, (Souei, can you jump to the former Chairman with a shadow step?) So I asked her, because they had met once, it was possible. . . . .

It seems he has a lot to say. (What? Is there anything else?) (Aye! Clones had reported suspicious monsters in every direction across the swamps. How should I continue?]

Whahuh? Could it be a trap? Even so, what kind of trap I am — we won't know. (How much have you confirmed?) (Yes! I can confirm, 4 people. Unfortunately, there may be more. However, I did not feel any other aura.) (I understand ... Is it possible? to throw?) (If doing it simultaneously, it is possible with 2 clones .. It may take some time, but I can eliminate all of them!) What an amazing man. Somehow, I feel better throwing it away simultaneously. . . . Just what they — it's not clear. But is killing them bad? I don't know if they're enemies or not. . . . (Two clones at the same time, is it possible to neutralize them without killing?) (Of course, it's possible) (Send me information about their position. I will send Shion and Hakurou) (In this case, please contact them I, we will neutralize the target together.) (I entrust it to you) I told Shion and Hakurou about the situation. There are no murders at all, just get rid of them! I ordered .

I don't know who they are, and I don't have any high-class demon acquaintances. Since they stood in all directions, they could be scouts or make traps. They don't seem to notice us, and are definitely not part of the Lizardmen's fighting force. But this was too late for reconnaissance ... so were they from the Orc army?

That also seems doubtful. It's useless, I think. Third party? Suddenly, I thought of that. There might be creatures that confirm the situation like us. Well, if they get caught, I'll ask them. I don't know if I can get them to talk, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. It was impossible for demons to come at the command of humans, as they were somewhat antagonistic. Since thinking about it would not help, I decided to stop. I took out an order and observed the situation. The Lizardmen side began to succumb to the pressure. They'll fall soon. All I know, the Chairman suffered the same fate in the caves. Souei has already sent his clone, but I wonder if his main body is unaffected? My head was filled with a lot of worry at this late hour. I issued orders, they followed. A person is incompetent if he takes more than he can do. Once, when I was a rookie in the company, the Chief often got angry at me and said. Don't take on more work than you can manage on your own! When the person stagnates, everyone is affected. Since then, I have avoided reckless actions, always doing as much work as I know I can handle. This time, the talented one could not understand. They won't know if the work I've given them is possible. I pray that they are incompetent. And, that they did not call me an incompetent master. For now, I think I will continue to observe the situation. If they encounter any problems, I will send for help immediately

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− Well, After finishing telepathy, Souei smiled thinly. He felt he could help his God. To Souei, Benimaru who was the son of the ruler was not his God. Similar to age, Souei treated him as a rival. One day, he considered serving under him, but it was not intended. Instead, they begin to serve a king named Rimuru. I was lucky, he thought. The period of peace continued for a while. Symbolizing strength, the Ogres had no opponents in the forest. Recently, even smaller dragons did not cause a commotion. He thought peace was a good thing. However, they also wanted to use the skills they had acquired, such as their sincere desires. Later, they were attacked by Orc soldiers. He could do nothing, and left without avenging his master and his fallen comrades. . . I was lucky, he thought. Under the new God, he was given the chance to avenge his former master. Negligence is born of pride. That he currently has none. For the Gods, he had polished his techniques (skills) - his, all to eliminate his enemies. Being ordered made him filled with supreme pleasure. Souei calmly created two clones of himself. And, (i'll catch two presences. Hakurou and Shion, going south and west) Confirming using telepathy, they acknowledge his request. Each of the clones went north and east. He himself drowned in the shadows and disappeared. He's meeting with the Lizardmen Chief. High-class demons were not his enemies at this moment. He's very understanding. After receiving Souei's request, Hakurou and Shion exchanged glances. They nodded. [So, I think I went west. ] [Alright, I'm going south]

After a short conversation, they ran away. They disappeared from the place at high speed. Seeing their departure, [Can't be the last to leave!] The main force led by Benimaru began to move. Without a sound like the wind, Storm storm stormed the wolves fighting into battle. The goblins are riding in enthusiasm. They moved according to Rimuru's orders. So extreme was their excitement, that they felt their blood dancing happily. You feel the same way. . . . . . . Benimaru thought so, he realized his carefree personality. That was why, he remembered the indecision he felt when faced with the need to take over the Ogre tribal village chief. But now, he had no such choice. Thus, He liked his current position with Rimuru as the God he served. As one of the military commanders, he only wanted to run amok with his heart. If he became the Chief, he could not go to war thus. But now it's different. He can participate without concern. Benimaru. He could not stop his blood from boiling.

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

Souei, Hakurou, Shion, have confirmed that they have arrived at their destination. To keep their presence from being noticed, they hide themselves. In front of each of them, a suspicious demon was seen. They confirmed their observations, and found their opinions matched. This demon was a familiar from the High Demons who specialized in reconnaissance! Just in case, Souei delivered to the two (i will report this to Rimuru-sama)

Our master would definitely be troubled if suddenly struck by three reports. The two reluctantly agree, as the one with the best telepathy is Souei. The clumsy Shums were only good at accepting. He swore to keep practicing. After receiving the permission of the two, (Rimuru-sama, the presence of the demon is confirmed. It's familiar with High Devils, who specialize in reconnaissance, are you sure you want to capture them? In my opinion, that we kill them will not be found, so there is no reason for further attention!) To Rimuru, he sent such a message telepathically. I leave it to you! So is the answer. With the other two discussing the time, they decided to simultaneously eliminate the four scouts. Hakurou will signal.

At the same time as Hakurou commanded, his slash gleamed, the monster before Hakurou was cut down and disappeared. As if sucked into the shadows, as if consumed by the ground. Souei kill. After one loud slash, the demon was blown away without a trace. . . . Target Shion's. It all happened in the same second.

The slash that Shion had given all his strength inward, after blowing the demon away, did not lose momentum and continued forward.

So great was its momentum, that it reached the outskirts of the swamps and cut through many orcs.

And the attack signifies Rimuru's participation in the battle. ————————————— ———–—
