When Rimuru saw Benimaru suddenly mentioning the enemy's activity time regarding the continuation of the battle, he said——
"Are Benimaru worried that they want to launch a food and grass war? There is no need to worry. All the fortified walls in the Demon Kingdom have been cleared, as you know. In order to march urgently, most of them are lightly armed, but after modification and distribution of corresponding special supplies
They can continue to move for nearly a month, and they may be able to grit their teeth for a little longer, but that's it at most. The water they need to survive must be obtained from the air through magic. The water requirements are rare.
The mecha-modified infantry who have practiced skills at the magic level are almost the same as ordinary people."
"Haha, then, Lady Ramiris, if the enemy sends their main force to challenge the maze, and you can choose the floor, can you send them to floors with more poison gas traps and deserts, and floors with wider lava areas?" Red
Maru asked Ramiris for instructions.
"Huh? With the combat power they have shown, the Black Rats under the Burning Flame Dragon King and the Nine Demon Tamamo may have to die a few more times. But if they have the opportunity to show off their skills and take revenge, they will be happy in death."
Rimuru didn't want to comment on how many times they had to die. Think about it, the monsters in the dungeon that attract adventurers often die several times a day. As long as they live in the end, that's fine.
Well, would it be better if the coffee were a little stronger next time?
No, no, it's not good to be too leisurely. Let's look at other aspects of combat.
"Benimaru, Gaviru was irradiated by a large amount of [Magic Disruption Rays] from the enemy's airship. He is indeed strong, but is he a worthy target?" Rimuru asked.
"Indeed, I think the enemy may have made a mistake. Could it be that they mistook the human form of Gaviru for the human form of Veldora?"
After hearing this, Veldora touched her face and wondered, "How do I look similar to him?"
"Who said that Veldora-sama's human appearance is not widely spread?" Benimaru said with a smile.
"What?! Rimuru, not only do you have to publicize my name in the future, but you also have to take big photos!"
"Yes, when your 'final line of defense' comes into use, your reputation will naturally spread."
"Okay, come challenger!"
Rimuru was actually perfunctory. He didn't think that professional soldiers knew the true qualities of conquering dungeons. Veldora probably had no chance to appear.
Anyway, Gaviru's [Dragon Warrior Transformation] is also the mechanism by which the violent magic element becomes stronger. Taking a photo of [Magic Element Disruption Radiation] should be a good strengthening experience. Although after the war, it may be like a guy who overexercised and it will hurt for a long time, but
It’s not a bad thing as a spiritual practice. They don’t feel nervous watching this.
"By the way, isn't the firepower of the Elf Cannon a bit lacking?" Rimuru asked again.
The elf cannon is the most modified weapon on the Ramiris ship and the Holy Asia ship in front of Ramiris. It is a cannon that rises from the defensive town building and bombards outwards like a fortress cannon.
Although the results are quite substantial, they are all the result of the high-level elves acting as energy sources. I feel that the high-level elves would be more powerful if they fought by themselves.
Ramiris: "What's wrong with this? Look at how stable the output is. Whether it's the enemy's artillery shells, [Fire Magic Ball] or [Magic Disruption Radiation], hitting the armor is completely ineffective (in view of the last time La
Lessons learned from the battle of the Milis, the battleship energy uses complete elven power and pure dragon energy magic steel defense), how safe is it, let my subordinates fight on their own, what should I do if they are defeated by each one?"
Rimuru: "What about resurrection?"
Ramiris: "Isn't it heartbreaking to see your family members die?"
Rimuru thought to himself, what double standards do you have? It doesn't matter if the monsters put into Ramiris' labyrinth for entertainment and combat die casually. Ramiris's own family cannot die casually... but he thinks he is probably not qualified to accuse.
This kind of double standard.
"But won't the place where the turret rises and lowers become a convenient passage for the enemy?" he asked.
"It will be a surprise if the turret is dismantled, but it will give them the illusion that they have found a convenient passage. Later, as a means of luring the enemy to find more entrances, there will only be one entrance waiting for them to queue up.
The field is so slow. The cabin that serves as my space battleship dock will be opened once in front of stupid enemies to receive the defeated battleship. Look at how talented I am, Master~"
Rimuru picked up the enemy list compiled during this period to see if there were any guys who were particularly good at conquering the maze. He found quite a few, more than a hundred of them. If they were to lead the strong men in the army to form a team,
It will also be a little troublesome, and it feels like most bosses have to be fought to the death for several rounds.
"Eh? Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu? There are other people like this." Rimuru noticed a group of people whose names made the time traveler concerned, "Where's the White Tiger?"
"There is no White Tiger, but there is a person with a similar title. He is one of the 'Three Generals' that Master Crounpis personally killed." Benimaru replied.
"Where are the others? There are several of them who may suddenly awaken to the extent of a big explosion, which will cause great damage to the surface of the earth." Rimuru said worriedly.
"Those few were actually killed before the sacrifice took place. There are also some here, and they are indeed quite strong, but as long as they haven't awakened yet, Souei's subordinates can deal with them. Killing them as soon as they are discovered is not a problem.
"
"Oh...that's good." Rimuru felt more relieved about the outcome of this battle.
……………………………………………………
After three days and two nights of fierce fighting, in which approximately 40,000 people died, the empire occupied the "city" on the surface.
The reason why we mention death in battle instead of "casualties" is, on the one hand, the convenience of healing magic, and on the other hand, naturally there are not many injured people. Although almost all the monsters they fought were destroyed, only those dragonmen followed the demon kingdom.
The flying battleships withdrew into the maze, but the Empire's side was not much better. Being attacked meant killing, and being killed meant death.
Calecchilio and a group of senior military officials came to the "Rimuru Office" in the "Administrative Building". He looked at the entire "city" from the window and said: "It seems that we have underestimated the Demon Kingdom a little bit.
Just occupying the surface of the capital cost so many casualties. They also have outstanding commanders."
Some officers flattered them——
"But in other words, we have captured the capital of this demon king's country. From a political perspective, this country has been destroyed."
"Yes, Lord Calecchilio, it is true that their resistance caused us some losses, but they were all within an acceptable range. Even Veldora was repelled by our proud fleet.
They must have run out of energy now, otherwise who would abandon the capital? The Demon King must be hiding in the maze and shivering."
