Because of the information that Victoria sent to Rimuru in the early stage, there was a vague feeling that even though the threat was indeed depicted, the human army was still regarded as something that could be taken away at any time, which made Rimuru almost underestimate his opponent.
.
The delivery of the last piece of information made Rimuru immediately regain his senses.
"Speaking of which, Verustira seems to have collected a large number of cut souls in order to help resurrect Crownpith. Can collecting a large number of souls promote evolution and resurrect others? Diabo
Luo.”
Rimuru asked Diavolo, who was overly capable and became the second secretary (the only practical secretary).
Diavolo: "This common sense only applies to Rimuru-sama before the Demon King is awakened."
Rimuru: "That's right, otherwise other demon kings would have a greater tendency to kill. However, Crounpis has not awakened to become a true demon king, so the path Verustira has taken is not wrong. Dia
Polo, what happened to the souls of the enemies I killed in other villages and towns in the Demon Kingdom last time?"
Diavolo: "Of course, they are all well stored so that Lord Limuru can access them when needed."
Rimuru thought to himself where this evil act came from.
Oh, yes, he is the devil.
However, if sacrificing thousands of enemies can save a few close people, Rimuru is very willing to do it. However, sometimes you have to take a longer view——
Rimuru: "If it's Diavolo, on the premise of cutting off (rather than seizing) a large number of enemy souls, is there any way to reduce the enemy's losses while allowing us to win a complete victory and stand on the side of morality?"
Diavolo: "The simplest plan is to try to stir up civil strife in some countries so that they can't take care of themselves, and then let the countries that currently have diplomatic relations with the Demon Kingdom send requests for assistance."
Rimuru felt that this was possible, but he would not be able to obtain souls that would be useful in resurrecting his companions. Combining Diavolo's suggestions and Victoria's intelligence, a somewhat outrageous plan was brewing in his mind.
stand up.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an overly fanciful plan, but he wanted to do it.
As for how to do it, he just asked [Raphael, the King of Wisdom] to calculate and deduce based on the recorded information and data, send who has the highest success rate, and then assign the tasks.
"Diavolo, I'll give you a foreign mission... Don't rush to get hit yet. This is very important. Although it is not eye-catching at all, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is related to the future fate of the Demon Kingdom."
Next, Rimuru summoned all the subordinates in charge of the Demon Kingdom's military to hold a combat meeting.
Unexpectedly, the old god Benimaru was there. Although Rimuru made unreasonable demands such as "minimizing casualties on both sides as much as possible, at least leaving the whole body" and "trying not to expose the true combat power of the Demon Kingdom", Benimaru
It's still well arranged.
The core idea of the operation is that high-end combat forces will only use all combat forces that have openly fought on the human side except Veldora. Among the "visitors from other worlds" currently accepted by the Demon Kingdom, those who are willing and strong enough will also be required.
Entering the battlefield can demoralize the enemy.
If there are any shortcomings, we can make up for it with the "Space Battleship" that Ramiris and Veldora played with. Although the overall strength of that thing is not that good in Benimaru's eyes, we have to admit that it is very efficient in destroying humans.
It is also quite scary in the common sense of "visitors from another world" - coming from the world of hot weapons, people of this era will never forget the fear of being pointed at by guns!
This is enough to deter Western high-end combat forces such as Sakaguchi Hinata and the brave Masayuki who are "visitors from another world". It can also reveal that this is not a simple country of monsters but a civilization they know. It can also allow secret observation and understanding.
The Eastern Empire, which mass-produced thermal weapons, thought it was the Demonic Kingdom's trump card.
At the same time, through the study of the basic combat principles of the guns and cannons on those battleships, the combat methods for the army that are mainly equipped with hot weapons have also been formulated. If the Eastern Empire dares to send out one gun for each man, one cannon for several men, or armor
When the unit's army invades, Benimaru can guarantee that they will never come back at a very small cost. With the help of those angels and demons to save their souls, and the resuscitation magic that they have mastered, the very small price may be able to be erased.
Rimuru couldn't help but feel - doesn't he have anything to do with him here?
No, there is still one. That is to defeat and recover the fragments of Crounpith that were used as props by the enemy, and you must save her.

When Diavolo was preparing to leave, Ultima came to check in with him.
"Oh, Diavolo, has peace-loving Rimuru himself blocked the road to peace talks?"
"That is true, but I will not do anything that goes against Rimuru-sama's orders."
"The trouble is on our side, right? Or does Rimuru-sama have a better soul-extracting technique than Verustira?"
"Don't be too complacent, Ultima. You had a bad mission last time, but you can use this mission to clean it up."
"Since the master has ordered us to serve Rimuru-sama, I will naturally do my best, but like you, I will never go against the master's wishes. It would be great if the master is willing to order us to go all out. The goal is to bring you first
The Kingdom of Farmus, which acted maliciously, gave them an ultimatum to completely concentrate the battlefield there, right? When that country is beaten to a pulp, then support the hero Youmu to become the king and come out to clean up the situation.
Endgame?”
"If you can't even see through this level of strategy, I'll have to advise Rimuru-sama to replace you."
"Unfortunately, we are the Minister of Administration, and you don't have the power yet. Before this body is destroyed, we will act in the interests of Mr. Crownpiss. But it has nothing to do with us, so you can do whatever you want, Youmu.
"

Farmus Kingdom, Miola Border Territory——
"Really, is it really okay to sleep in this position?" The phantom of Crownpis floated above Victoria, looking at the man and woman sleeping under the quilt with a negative contact distance.
"Get up, get up, idiot." Crownpis called to Victoria, who was still sleeping even when dawn came.
She was a little annoyed. At first, she only thought about what she could do if she got the brave man by accident, but she ignored the character these elves had taught her subordinates.
She can take over Victoria's body at any time and force her to wake up, but taking over her body in this state will definitely cause a mess due to the sudden stimulation. At least, she will wait until the contact distance between her and Masayuki changes from negative to positive.
It would be better to connect the consciousness to Victoria again.
