**********
The takeover of the puppet nation Jistav ended successfully, this wasn't just because of Tempest's overwhelming military power, but it was also because of Clayman being a shitty leader so many of his subordinates ended up deciding to betray him including his famous five fingers which Mjurran used to be a member off.
*Smash*
An angry Laplace smashed a table while gritting his teeth before he said to Kagali and Yuki "How can we watch and see them ruining the last bits of legacy Clayman left behind without doing anything!"
Rage filled his eyes, and the other member of the harlequin alliance shared the sentiment… However, Kagali stared in the distance coldly and said "Don't worry, our revenge is coming soon, right Yuuki?"
Yuuki smirked at her coldly and nodded "Indeed, we are going to deal with two birds at the same time… both tempest and those bastards of the Rosso family will meet their end soon and the whole west will fall in our hands…"
"How can you be so sure? You should know how strong that nation is, don't you?" Asked Laplace coldly and Yuuki smiled again at him and said "Of course I do know, which is why we need to make it swift… I already found someone to take of Veldora and the rest will be up to us"
Laplace's eyes shined eerily as he asked "How do you plan to do that?"
"Let's just say I have a few connections… extending all the way to the eastern empire, and I delivered them some information about the danger of this nation of monsters…" Replied Yuuki confidently…
'This guy is terrifying, I just hope Kagali knows what she's doing…' Thought Laplace while shooting their leader a look…
Meanwhile, Yuuki couldn't help but smile in delight 'It seems like getting kicked around by the Rosso family and creating Cerberus is finally paying out… Good thing that both Damrada and Vega will join in this expedition…'
Cerberus was an underground organization that Yuuki created after he eliminated a famous underground organization called Echidna and replaced it with this one and they dealt with all kinds of illegal things except for slavery which Yuuki greatly opposed to…
Yuuki was the leader of this organization, and he had three main captains working for him each having a unique nickname. Wealth (Damrada), Power (Vega), and Women (Misha).
All three of them were terrifying monsters that reached the saint level! A level that was equivalent to an awakened demon lord showing just how terrifying they were! And currently, two of them were planning to join in this expedition along with Yuuki and the harlequin alliance, as well as the clerics of the seven luminaries…This was a terrifying force, not to mention the trump card Yuuki prepared for Veldora…
….
Inside tempest, Rimuru and his commanders came back from their expedition satisfied with what they achieved. However, before they could even rejoice and brag to Yuki about what they did. Suddenly, Treyni entered their commanding office…
This little dryad and many others of her race started to frequently stay at tempest since they finally reunited with the spirit queen, Ramiris who used to be their master...
Different from the calm and collected look on her face however, right now only panic could be observed on Treyni's face and Yuki instantly thought 'I don't like where this is going…'
And true to his worries, the dryad soon spoke "A huge army of more than 100 000 humans has entered the great Jura forest from the west… And we sensed many disaster level individuals in their ranks…"
Yuki's eyes narrowed slightly 'What's going on? Are those people idiots? Why are they trying so hard just for a nation of monsters?'
Rimuru expressed this thought out loud but the only answer they were able to come up with was that they probably came for revenge after their previous attack failed…
"What should we do?" Asked Gobta with a worried look on his face and Yuki couldn't help but wonder 'Why's this wimp in the commanding room again?' then Yuki picked him up and threw him out of the window right into a trash bin which made everyone stare at him speechlessly and the tense atmosphere quickly faded…
"What?" Asked Yuki curiously which made everyone shake their heads at him and continued their discussion without the tense mood Gobta created 'Getting rid of the trash is always good' thought Yuki before Benimaru asked Treyni "Have you recognized the disaster level individuals?"
Treyni shook her head "We never leave the forest so I don't know much about the outside world, however, I can show them to you and see if you recognize them"
Benimaru nodded at her and soon after Treyni used illusion magic and created many holographic silhouettes of the invaders.
The moment Hinata saw a bunch of them, she instantly stood up in shock "Why are the clerics of the seven luminaries here along with the ten great saints under my command? Didn't Luminous say she wanted to establish an alliance with Tempest?" These church higher-ups were being followed by a huge army from the holy empire…
Meanwhile, Yuki recognized the harlequin alliance members that were approaching with Yuuki as well as a huge number of adventurers. However, he didn't recognize much about the leaders of the western army, although it surprised him that Treyni highlighted a child among the attacker.
She was a little girl that was putting on an innocent look, however the way she was staring at every inch of land around her as well as soldier told Yuki everything he needed to know about her and a weird smirk came to his face 'I guess I know why I felt that attraction force earlier… This meeting, it was meant to be'
Yuki's green eyes shined with a greedy light never seen before and it creeped everyone out to the point that Treyni decided to make that image vanish and only then did Yuki turn back to normal…
"Those ten great saints are just at the primary ranks of disaster level so our forces can deal with them, the problem is with those 7 clerics, I feel like they are quite troublesome" Spoke Rimuru trying to divert everyone's attention from Yuki's creepiness and right after he finished speaking, Diablo spoke calmly "Rimuru-sama, please allow me to deal with those seven clerics"
"Nah don't worry little demon, this old man will deal with them" Spoke Kayle just to annoy Diablo and it worked like a charm as Diablo frowned and thought 'Is this guy seriously comparing age with me at this moment? Doesn't he know that I'm a primordial demon or is he doing it on purpose?'
Sparks flashed between Diablo and Kayle while Yuki had a worried look on his face as he stared at the smug smile on Yuuki's face as well as the calm expressions on the people accompanying him and frowned slightly 'That guy is definitely well prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have come' then he turned to Veldora who was lying on the bed and reading a manga without a care in the world and thought ' There's no way they didn't came prepared for Veldora…'
Taking in a deep breath, Yuki's eyes turned eerie and cold as he spoke "Kayle, Diablo, Hinata, Rimuru, and Ramiris … You guys will take care of the free guild and its forces.
Benimaru, you will lead the Kijin and our other forces to deal with the ten great saints as well the disaster-level forces of the western army… You are responsible for assisting anyone who's in need of help as well as keeping an eye on the battlefield as a whole… Dariun will help you in this regard.
As for those seven clerics, I will take care of them personally"
Right after Yuki finished speaking, Shizue stared at Yuuki's holographic image and spoke with determination "I will join the fight against the free guild"
"Teacher…" Muttered Hinata, but seeing the look in Shizue's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to stop her…
"Fine, but you should be careful…" Spoke Yuki, at the same time, he secretly sent many signals asking for assistance… One signal was for Milim, another for Leon, and the last one was for Gazel… They all had angry looks on their faces when they received Yuki's message and immediately moved to assist him.
Leon disappeared in a flash. Milim flew through the sky like a meteor with Frey and Carrion trying to follow after her, and Gazel got on his Pegasus and set off right away while their armies followed after them…
A war that was going to reshape the world was about to happen, and Guy of course caught wind of this and was intrigued to see what the result would be!
….
Meanwhile, inside of Tempest, a simple house had five kids, and Sacha was taking care of their daily needs, however without her noticing, one of the kids was using magic and increasing her hearing to spy on what was happening in the command office and she couldn't help but wonder with a worried look on her face "This is not the future I have seen in my memories… what's going on?"
Unfortunately, no one was going to give her an answer to her doubts…
….
After their plans were set in stone, Veldora finally realized that his name wasn't uttered at all during the meeting and he couldn't help but stand up from the bed he was lying on and ask awkwardly "Umm, who am I going to fight?"
Yuki was about to respond to him, but before he could, a woman suddenly appeared inside their room and she had a terrifying aura... This was a Catastrophe level individual!
She has azure blue hair kept in twin buns with black ribbons and deep gold eyes and her attire consisted of a dark-colored China dress with a golden dragon pattern as well as white long gloves and white thigh-length boots both adorned with gold ornaments.
"Little brother, I heard you came out of your seal and already causing trouble, it seems like I need to teach you a lesson" Spoke Velgrynd, better known as the scorch dragon… she was the third true dragon in existence and one of the strongest existences in the world!
"Y-you, what are you doing here? And no, I didn't cause any trouble, believe me!" Spoke Veldora hurriedly which prompted Velgrynd to shoot the monsters in the room a look before her eyes stopped at Yuki who was eyeing her coldly before she frowned and said "It seems like the report we received was right, I will give all of you a choice, join the eastern empire or die to its wrath!"
"What's the eastern empire doing here?" Spoke Rimuru with clear annoyance in his eyes, but this only made Velgrynd angry as she said "you have no right to ask questions"
This made everyone in the room boil in anger, but only Yuki still had an eerie calm about him, if Yurei was here he would have realized, this was the eeriness that covers Yuki when he receives a mission and contemplates whether it's worth it to screw someone up for his own gains or not…
but the answer to that question is always easy to determine… It's a resounding yes, so without hesitation, he disappeared from his current position using quick step and appeared in front of Velgrynd, and in that split second, he landed a devastating uppercut on her beautiful face that sent her flying through the roof of the commanding building and high up into the sky….
Veldora gulped slightly as his spine tingled while watching this scary scene, but the devil soon whispered into his ears making him fall further into despair.
"She's all yours buddy" Spoke Yuki with a warm smile while patting Veldora's shoulder before he threw him into the air as well... to his doom.
'How can you be so cruel...?' Wondered Veldora with tears in his eyes, but the terrifying aura filled with rage above him soon made him forget about everything...
