71 Order- *COUGH* Chapter 66
It's been a month since Gabil died spiritually. I ended up giving him a Full Potion and used a memory wiping rune talisman on him. The man was broken from that experience, maybe I went too far…
Gabil- "Rimuru-sama! I have brought to you the fruits of our hard work!"
Gabil ran up to me showing me a plant in a pot. I look at it and sigh while pinching the bridge of my nose and then sighing.
Yes, I sighed twice.
Rimuru- "Gabil… WHAT ARE THOSE!?"
I scream while holding my hands together and pointing to the potted plant. Or, rather than a plant, it's fucking weed. The dank kind.
Yeah, maybe I didn't go too far in breaking his spirit…
I ended up quickly explaining things to him causing him to bow his head and apologise.
Gabil- "Wha-!? A thousand apologies!"
After that, he ran back inside the cave he crawled out from. And I think he might still be a little scared of me unconsciously… Nah, I must be overthinking it.
Anyway, I named all of the lizardmen including Souka, which is now officially her name, and Gabil. Although Gabil was already named by Gelmud, you can overwrite names. I forgot the exact conditions, but I'm sure it's something about the original namer being dead…
As a result, all the lizardmen ended up evolving into dragonewts. They look like lizardmen except now with horns and wings. Apparently, they're a demi-human with dragon blood in them.
How a lizardman can evolve into a dragon human hybrid, I have no fucking clue. Veldanava obviously was high as shit when making all the races.
When I said that out loud, everyone was amazed that I knew something like that. I just laughed while sweating and averting my eyes from a certain electric tsundere who just so happened to be staring at me with narrowed eyes.
Thank you [Raphael].
Souka and the females of the group all evolved with more human looks. Meaning aside from their tails, wings and horns, they look exactly human.
They look quite attractive too. On the level of supermodels from Earth. Of course, since this is an anime world, supermodels are only average among the 'pretty girl' ranks.
<<Correction. It is actually because of the magicules contained in every living being that enhances the physical appeal of->>
I said it's because it's an anime world!
<<…>>
Yeah.
That's what I thought…
Souka and a few other lizardmen- oh sorry, dragonewts ended up working under Soei as a sort of espionage unit.
Gabil and his men were then sent into the sealed cave where I was born to grow and harvest hipokute herbs to manually make full potions like in canon.
Why can't I just do things myself?
Well, the answer is quite simple.
*Inhales*
BECAUSE I CAN'T BE FUCKED.
Therefore, I will make someone else do that for me. Although, I DID make a book with [Creation] that contains details on hipokute herbs to aid them. Which is why I'm still confused about how in Bob Ross' name did they get their hands on that weed.
<<Report. There is a large force approaching detected through [Universal Perception]. More precise scanning has identified these individuals as Gazel Dwargo and 500 Pegasus Knights. They are currently approaching this destination through the air and is estimated to arrive in an hour.>>
Detected from an hour away? As expected of [Raphael]-sensei. Those Pegasus Knights should be pretty fast, so detecting them while they still need an hour to reach here means they're still quite a fair bit away.
Pegasus Knights. A secret elite force of Dwargon under the direct control of the dwarven king, Gazel Dwargo. Under a strict training regimen, each set of knight and pegasi can work together to create a combat unit around A-rank.
Not to mention there are over 500 of them. That fighting potential would be enough to make any national power wet themselves in fear. I mean, I would be shaking too… I mean, if it weren't for Benimaru and the others… or Ranga and his pack… or Mikoto… or myself…
Or god forbid Shizu.
We're all kind of one-man armies already…
Right, Pegasus Knights are coming here and I'm the only one who knows until Soei detects them and tells everyone else. I've got a couple of options to take.
One, I can just leave them alone and let things continue as they should like in canon.
Or two, I can go out there and meet them myself.
Hmm…
I don't wanna deal with everyone getting agitated and getting ready for a fight for no reason. I mean it's not like Gazel is here to pick a fight with us.
Wait, is he?
No, he's not an idiot. His spy should've told him about us…
HOLY SHIT HIS SPY! I totally forgot about that guy! There was a spy that followed us back from Dwargon to… well… spy. On me specifically. What happened to that guy?
<<Notice. Individual Soei detected all the spies sent by Individual Gazel Dwargo and repelled them within a week of the Orc Lord's defeat.>>
Damn, I kinda didn't even notice. That's kinda sad, now that I think about it. Those guys are the eyes and ears of the king of a powerhouse nation and Soei just gave them the figurative middle finger by easily noticing them and booting them out. Within half a month of his evolution to a kijin no less.
Anyway, I'm done with my monologue. I send a quick [Thought Communication] message to Benimaru and all the others. I don't bother sending one to Shizu because she's either sleeping, bribing food with her cuteness or conducting a demonic ritual.
Sometimes all three at the same time.
As for Ranga, he's either walking around outside or sleeping, most of the time within my shadow which just so happens to be the case right now. So he's coming with me.
The message I sent says "I'm just gonna be stepping out for a bit, I'll be right back."
And so, I teleport and find myself standing in the air a small distance away from the approaching legion of Pegasus Knights.
I wear Shizu's Anti-Magic Mask and put my hands in my pockets adopting a laid back attitude while the wind brushes past me softly, causing my hair and clothes to flutter. Man, I should look so cool right now…
Very quickly, I get detected and within a few minutes, they all surround me while Gazel himself is in front of me, riding his own Pegasi that seems to be a bit stronger than the rest.
Gazel- "You're the slime, huh?"
Rimuru- "Mmm! First and foremost, let me introduce myself. My name is Rimuru."
Everyone- "…"
Gazel- "… That's it?"
Rimuru- "Yeah, what else do you want me to say? My three sizes?"
(A/N: YES.)
Mob Soldier- "Insolence!"
Gazel just raises his hand, signalling to stand down.
Rimuru- "Fine fine. I guess I'll introduce myself properly. My name is Rimuru, as I've already said before. I'm the leader of the Great Forest of Jura Alliance."
Gazel- "Then I shall also introduce myself, slime. My name is Gazel Dwargo, King of the Armed Nation of Dwargon and Master of the Sword."
Yup.
I know that.
Rimuru- "Well, it's nice to meet you King Gazel. Although I already know, it's always nice to ask… What are doing here, approaching my town with such a force?"
I release a bit of my [Lord's Ambition], showing that I mean business. Only a bit, nothing serious. This puts them on guard, but it's not harmful or threatening.
I do this because, regardless of reasons, if I didn't know what was going on and was someone who would attack first and ask questions later, coming with such a force is enough of an excuse for me to wipe them out and even declare war on Dwargon.
Gazel- "You already know? Then if it's alright with you, would you mind telling me your guess?"
Rimuru- "It's simple. You came here to make sure I'm not a threat. Since, you know, I took down the Orc Lord."
I say such a thing casually, but my 'guess' was spot on. I look at Gazel's ever-so-slightly surprised face and shrug.
Rimuru- "I know a lot of things."
How do I know a lot of things? It's called GO READ THE FUCKING MANGA!
I'm joking. Well, not really, but I just read the novel instead.
I look around me at all the Pegasus Knights. It's quite a good blockade, if I didn't have enough firepower to break through a single point I can say goodbye to running away.
Although I have to ask why they think this can stop a guy who literally appeared in front of them out of thin air… well, I did appear a fair bit away, so they might've thought they just didn't notice…
Still, I know from looking at their eyes… they're looking down on me. It can't be helped. I just a slime. The so-called 'Great Forest of Jura Alliance' also doesn't mean shit to them, seeing it as an over-elaborate name for a monster gathering. Furthermore, these guys are the elite corps of a powerhouse nation like Dwargon.
I am a little bit annoyed at their thoughts. Should I flex my muscles a bit?
