8 At War

「 Sir Antares, it seems a small country declared war against you ! 」Treyni announced.「 Treyni, you can drop the sir you know, we have been basically living with each other for a long time now. 」「 Well, if they want to come, then let them be, but they will truly see why people call me the Dragon Of Destruction. 」("By the way, Rimuru should have already appeared in the cave.")

***

At the entrance of the forest, we could see a small army of 5000 soldier at most. Knowing that they were going to attack dragons, they were quite frightened.

「 DO NOT BE SCARED, SOLDIER, WE SHALL CLEANSE THE FOREST FROM THOSE FILTHY BIT- 」One of the experimented S-rank adventurer shouted.

「 NOW, GO FOWARD ! 」shouted the Guild Master.

They walked for few hours until they saw the world tree, but what they saw wasn't what they expected.

***

While the army was coming, Antares wasn't bothered a bit.

He was taking care of his vegetable garden, while Treyni was playing with Yleglis.

「 Oh- they're here ! 」Antares said to Treyni.

Antares then turned to look at the miserable army and said「 It took you long enough guys, is that the army you gathered to kill me ?? How laughable. 」

「 Where are the dragons ??? Why is a man here, and- is that a dryad ??? 」asked the confused Guild Master to his adviser.

「 They must be the subordinate of the dragons. We should kill them first. 」His adviser replied.

「 Where are you masters, young man ? Bring them to me, we're here to kill them, you have several S-Rank adventurer in front of you. Bring them and we will grant you a quick death. 」shouted the guild master.

「 Treyni, what is going on, why are they talking about ? 」「 I think they've mistaken you as the subordinate of Red and Blue. 」

「 Red, Blue, come now. 」

Then 2 huge lesser dragons appeared and landed next to Antares.

「 IT'S THEM, THEY'RE HERE, SOLDIERS, GO ! 」shouted the guild master.

While soldiers were running toward Red and Blue, mages were casting all kinds of spell, from afar.

Seeing all the spells coming foward, Treyni summoned lianas, blocking the spells.

「 DON'T YOU ALL DARE TO DESTROY MY BEAUTIFUL BABY GARDEN. 」Mama Treyni mode was fully on, it was funny since Treyni wore a normal face, with the cute Yleglis in her arms. 「 Haha, that's my Treyni. 」

Antares started to walk toward the soldiers, while they were wondering why it was the subordinate that walked forward, and not the dragons.

Antares, then took out his wings in front of everyone, started to fly, and looked at the army from the sky.

「 Show off. 」Treyni muttered under her breath.

Every person on the field was thinking of "He has wings ? He was a dragon ? Is he a tr- ", but their thoughts were interrupted by Antares.

「 Do you know guys, I always wanted to try some skills, but never had the opportunity. 」

『 Dragon's Fear 』

All the soldiers looked at the gaze of Antares, all they could see was red eyes. They coudn't move, they were immobilized, letting their grip on their weapon lessen.

When they were child, they all heard about some red true dragon that defeated Veldora, the sleeping sealed dragon, but that disappeared suddenly, it was supposed to be a fairytale, but they were now sure, even though, the man wasn't in his dragon form, the features still matched the description, the fairytale wasn't one, he was that true dragon.

They all started to think that they shouldn't have come here, despair started to fill their mind, but what could they do ? Absolutely nothing.

「 Well now, shall we ? 」("I've always wanted to do that, Gilgamesh mode full on haha")

Many red portals started to appear in the sky, what happened next was unpredictable.

A large amount of weapon, started to fall down from the portals, at great speed, launched at the soldiers. Many of them were impaled, without even realizing. Others saw their friends dying in front of them, helplessly looking at them.

「 Well, that was quick ! 」「 Let's finish this with 『 Breath Of Destruc-

「 WAIIIT !!! 」Treyni shouted, but it was too late.

「 YOU DESTROYED THE FOREST, IT WILL TAKE WEEKS TO REGROW IT WITH OTHER DRYAD !!! 」

「 Well, it's your job so ... 」

Everything in front of him was destroyed.

「 Let's go home, now ! 」

They returned, while Treyni was lecturing him, as if there wasn't an entire army coming for their ass 2 minutes ago.

***

At the same time of this slaught- war, a certain slime was already talking to a dragon without any idea of what was happening outside.

「 Well, we're brother now. 」said Veldora.

The slime then proceeded to absorb the dragon.

(Some times later)

("Well, Rimuru's village has already grown so much, the orcs are moving fast, he already recruited the to-be-made Kijin.")

「 What are you worrying over so much ? 」asked Treyni.

「 Nothing, I'm just bored... 」

「 Why don't you travel then ?」

「 It is actually a good idea, and I also need a servant to do our chores. Well, and I know exactly where to find one. 」

「 Do not let anyone come here, let the new village in the east know that this area is prohibited. 」

Antares then opened a portal to god know where.
