Although Rimuru wants to complain, and although he hopes that the tree fairy Toreni will treat him more normally, Toreni just eats her when she comes. Isn't this too ordinary for you?
But this was not the time to talk about this. At this time, he was struggling with the matter of dealing with the Pig-headed Emperor, so he said: "Since you are the manager of the forest, shouldn't you also come here for the matter of the Pig-headed Emperor?"
"As expected of the lord of monsters, he is indeed full of wisdom. It is difficult for us to resist with our abilities. We really want to use your power to defeat the Pig-headed Emperor." Torene said.
Before Rimuru could reply, the praises from the monsters immediately started pouring in again.
"As expected of Rimuru-sama, he has seen through everything a long time ago."
"Of course, that's Rimuru-sama!"
"Rimuru-sama is so wise."
"………………"
Rimuru ended up accepting everything half-heartedly.
After roughly arranging the next battle, Rimuru left Ranka, who often stayed in his shadow, and went alone to the top of the hillside where the entire monster town could be seen. When he wanted to rest or be quiet
Coming here often, looking at the town gives him a sense of satisfaction.
Jing also came with him, and there was no reason why he couldn't stay too far away if he wanted to suppress the fire spirit at any time. The longest distance was not that close.
"Rimuru, I really worked hard on you just now."
"Jing, you are a hero, right? Do you often encounter situations like this?"
"It's hard to reject people's kindness. What are you going to do next? Even if you want to become a Demon King, the conditions for awakening are not so easy to achieve."
In Jing's opinion, the Pig-Headed Emperor should indeed be very strong, but she should be able to defeat the Pig-Headed Emperor as long as she uses all her strength. In fact, because humans have no racial abilities to capture, it is easier to deal with the Pig-Headed Emperor. There have been many attempts to defeat the Pig-Headed Emperor in human history.
A heroic epic. She has a close relationship with the Demon King Leon, and she also has a better understanding of the Demon King's height. Even whether the Pig-Headed Emperor can become the Demon King is debatable.
The main problem is still the man behind the scenes.
"Ah ah ah, the Demon King will talk about it later. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. If the Demon King sends one of the four heavenly kings to come and have a look, then we can try to negotiate. Jing, you thought you were going to die at that time, didn't you still
Do you want to ask me to punch Demon King Leon? If Jing really hates him, she would probably want to kill him. That’s all. In other words, Demon Kings are not all bad people."
"...I don't think any of the demon kings I know have subordinates with titles like the Four Heavenly Kings."
"For example, for example... Jing, will you come later?"
"Of course, I still want to repay Rimuru's kindness. Besides, if Rimuru can become stronger, it would be great to completely solve the problem of the Fire Spirit as soon as possible. There are still children in the human country that I can't let go of.
"
"Don't you owe me even more now?"
"If any country wants to harm Rimuru in the future, I will stand by your side."
"The country...Jing, you think too highly of me, don't you? Forget about the monsters with backward civilization, how can humans think highly of a small town like mine? Haha."
Jing shook his head secretly in his heart. Rimuru didn't know much about this world, and he valued human ethics too much. The location of this town is the hub connecting the east and west of the mainland, and the industry Rimuru is trying to develop - Rimuru
Lu himself has no comparison. In fact, when it comes to humans, they are all things that greedy people salivate over. Now that the storm dragon disappears, humans will become more and more unscrupulous in acquiring the resources of the Jura Forest. Then they will inevitably compete with Lim.
Reveal conflict.
Do you want to remind me? But she became worried - maybe it was the manipulation of the superiors. Except for some children, there are very few kind and pure people in the outside world. Rimuru is very strong, but Jing still can't help but see her in him.
Is it really okay to take care of those children from other worlds who have been abandoned by their adults and allow them to dye themselves black in order to protect themselves?
However, the pace of war will not stop here.
……………………………………………………
Although the Pig-Headed Emperor was still approaching, it was still impossible to make Crounpisi nervous.
At the level of the Pig-Headed Emperor, Ultima should be able to kill her in one move without even having to level up. The reason why no one thought this was because Ultima had hidden her aura. Even if most people knew about her race, they wouldn't be able to kill her in one move.
They only know that she is a high-level demon. Even the [Great Sage] currently only knows that Ultima is above the high-level demon general. However, Rimuru neither knows nor inquires about the position of these demons in the world.
.The result is that no one knows Ultima's true strength.
Although preparation for war is very important, most monsters are still busy with their own affairs. They just need to work harder to produce when they are far away from the battle.
Because the town is still expanding, there are still vacant houses, so Rimuru specially gave Crounpis a fully furnished one.
Crownpis said in her mind that she didn't need it, because she was integrated with the guild and could completely "come into my own" and disappear from the world temporarily when she needed to rest. But it was quite good as a symbolic office.
Not long after the arrangements were made, Ultima brought several monsters to see her.
They are Fresno from the Goblin tribe, Juno from the Goblin tribe, Cleveland from the Bunny tribe, Katori, and Shuna, the demon princess.
They clearly expressed their gratitude to Cronpis for being "indirectly" through Ultima.
Although it was their first meeting, the monsters had different feelings about this aspect. They could feel whose magic element they obtained belonged to, and whose evolution was connected to it. Moreover, Rimuru almost used the appearance of Crounpiss.
"Isn't the clan leader coming?" Cronpis asked.
According to the rules, the clan leader should come to see her. Although Crounpis didn't care, she always felt that these monsters were looking at her wrongly, as if they had ulterior motives.
Zhu Cai: "Lord Crounpis, my brother needs to preside over the crusade against the Pig-Headed Emperor. If Lord Crounpis needs it, I will call my brother here immediately——"
"No, no, no, there's no need for that. If the other clan leaders are similar, then forget it. So, we've met each other, what do you think of Rimuru?" Without waiting for them to answer, Crounpis took it.
"Gathering all kinds of monsters from scratch, and having the intention to live in harmony with humans, is it great in a sense? But Rimuru is still very naive now, and you who understand the relationship between humans and monsters better, you have to do a good job
Help him."
Zhu Na: "Yes, this is a matter of course."
Juno: "We are your kin, but since it is Lord Crownpiss' wish——"
Fresno: "Even if we die at the hands of humans to protect Rimuru-sama, we will never complain."
