Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Military Affairs
I should also mention the dolls that were mass-produced by Ramiris.
Magical energies had encircled their demon steel bones, giving birth to something like a muscle. Even so, their birth — their settlement — is still far away.
Furthermore, cultivating these monsters within the Cultivation Capsule further increased their strength by 1.5-2 times.
And, of course, the time required for higher monsters was greater than for smaller monsters.
If you try to speed up the process, you will get a lower monster, and there is nothing to be done about it.
From this stuffed capsule, we've only completed a thousand so far.
But time had not passed for them to be born.
And we expect them to be high-class monsters.
Worst case scenario, they would only be stronger than Gelmudo.
In other words, we are producing A rank monsters.
In human terms, we produce monsters that are on par with the Knights Templar.
And that's their strength at birth — O! How I want to see how strong they can grow!
Oh, surely you want to know if there is a soul that can live inside?
As long as you etch the core into it, it will be filled with magic energy.
So we ignore the goal of creating a soul for them, and instead give them an early leap.
Perhaps they would just be a shell of strength but no mind.
If that happens, we only need to use Sarion's mastery skills, in order for ordinary soldiers to control them.
Ramiris does recommend that Beretta link to them and command this great host, but with its processing power it may prove difficult.
Beretta is Ramiris's subordinate.
Can't keep depending on him.
And he also had the responsibility of guarding the Dungeon, which of course he could not leave behind.
But these points can worry us when it is done.
I breathed out when I returned to my office.
There are too many things to consider.
First corps.
Gobuta will be his commander, and Hakurou will advise him.
Affiliated with the first corps are…
———-Giant wolf, 100 members. Evolved from a combination of Wolf Riders and Star Wolves. Their battle power was at A rank [EP: 9,000 ~ 9,900] and they would be captains of this corps.
———-Green number, 12,000 members. They have been split into a number of 4,000 members, consisting of three teams. Their numbers have increased tremendously over the past year, so they will be put to good use. The majority of them came as fighters from many tribes in the region of Aku. Even so, they were ranked B [EP: 5,000 ~ 6,000] and were an incredible fighting force.
Next, the second corps.
Under the direct command of Gerudo, and the main force of Tempest.
Related to the second corps are…
———-Yellow Numbers, 2,000 members. This was a High Orc serving under Gerudo. Individually they are strong B + ratings [EP: 7,500 ~ 8,000]. They were also able to unite with Gerudo into a single shield. We rearranged them into a team and assigned the captain.
———- Orange Number, 35,000 members. High orc who just “born”. They are ranked C. However, only 15,000 will participate in the battle with 20,000 support corps and engineers.
Third corps.
The deputy commander of Gabil would lead them, launching air strikes towards the enemy.
The affiliated members are
———-Hiryuu, 100 members. These are, on average, the strongest units in Tempest. Rank [EP: 9,500 ~ 9,900], but coordinate their attacks very well. There were some among them who surpassed A rank. Their trump card is 『Battle Dragon Transformation』
———- Blue Numbers, 3,000 members. It consists only of new applicants from the lizardmen. They are only C-rated. But that's not their real strength. No, their strength lies in their ability to climb the Wyvern and fly into the sky. In fact, this division had the ability to completely dominate the air space. Even within Tempest, they were secret divisions.
*** By the way, Wyvern is a lesser species of dragon. B This + beast we obtained with the help of Milim.
Above all these are the three divisions of absolute power.
With supreme commander Benimaru on top.
Benimaru has complete control over every power, even I cannot command them.
But it seems like Raphael-sensei is associating thoughts with Benimaru, so it seems like my will is not being carried out.
ADVERTISMENTS
SCROLL TO RESUME CONTENT
Benimaru's private group is a group of 100 Crimson members.
The Crimson was a group of A rank monsters that focused on strength and actually had ridiculous abilities. I attended one of their training sessions, and while their raw strength was probably only at the Gelmudo levels doesn't mean everything. Oh, their current “level” will match the Knights Templar.
The problem is that a person's level is determined by how much energy he has.
Their strength is basically determined at birth. And Tempest is indeed trying to instill greater power.
Of course, in reality, energy does not determine your true strength.
Who could doubt Hakurou's strength even if his energy was small?
And the Crimson captain experienced Hakurou's hellish training. They are a very reliable force.
Then there is Souei's information squad.
100 Darkness members, right?
To be honest, I only know four of their members. They specialize in espionage.
Souei said they have no fighting power, but I don't trust him. He did commit murder.
Souei had sole and exclusive control over them, and even few knew about them.
To be honest, they were a bit scary, and their names only appeared in rumors.
Oh, and I will have Souei keep an eye on the Third Corps as well. Information gathering can be done very well from the sky you see.
However, Souei could only rule if Benimaru issued such an order.
Of course, Souei was not the type to ignore the chain of command and issue orders without authorization.
Oh, and you may have noticed: there is not a single group that I directly control.
Oh, and I forgot to mention my guard, Yomigaeri Shion.
These people continue training even while suffering from deadly injuries, and have reached the B rank of + [EP: 8,000 ~ 8,500].
The most efficient division.
They had grown tremendously since fighting the Templars, and might soon reach A rank.
Although currently the most powerful was Hiryuu, Yomigaeri were able to surpass them.
Since they could not die, they were perfect for stalling.
Let me add: I will not give them orders. They are there to serve them, and will, of course, obey my every word.
So did Shion happily report to me.
To be honest, it was like babysitting a group of kids that couldn't be controlled?
You know, you have to wear the fa? Ade at a time like this.
Oh, but Shion will give them orders.
They are his personal team.
They are not the combat power we intended to rely on, and their capabilities are somewhat unknown, but is this really alright? None of them will die seriously, I hope.
Shion had raised him in secret, so I don't know how strong they are. Yes, definitely the number is no more than a thousand, and they will not be on the front lines.
Dagrule's children will be captains, as they perform admirably during the fight between Leon and Yuuki. I think I can depend on them…
By the way, the Dwarf King has sent a formal thank you letter for Shion's help.
It seemed like he was really diligent in carrying out his duties back then.
Such is the current state of the military in Tempest.
Then there's Diablo.
He went to travel with the words, “I will find those who are worthy to follow you!”
He helped settle matters with Hinata well, and he was increasingly involved in domestic policy.
Sure, he likes fighting, and maybe that's what I should let him do.
But peace will definitely return once we defeat the Eastern Empire, and I'd rather he focus on domestic affairs at that time. Right now, he seemed more interested than Rigurdo.
But that doesn't mean I can relax just yet. What if he suddenly came out and created an absolute monarchy rounding me up or raising the tax to 90%? Life is not a game where you can play around like that.
In short, this was the current power of Tempest:
Gobuta Corps: about 12,000 members.
Gerudo Corps: about 37,000 members.
Gabil Corps: about 3,000 members.
We are almost ten legions.
But this is our entire permanent army.
If you think about it, the majority of the second corps were engineers who were not really suited for battle.
That doesn't mean that according to me our soldiers suffer numerically.
But it was not enough to fight against the Eastern Empire.
For this reason, we have decided to send “undangan” to the nearest monster.
At this point, every power under the domain I have received an invitation. Their arrival now was only a matter of time.
Since figuring out their previous deployment might prove difficult, we might have to do it once the war begins.
We do plan to use them only if we can't win with a regular squad, but …
Oh, and we estimate the number called to be about 50,000.
This will be the Fourth Corps, Crimson Number.
Under Benimaru's direct control.
He had the 『Generalissimo』 skill that he could use to control them effectively, so there was no one more suited than him.
Then there's the mercenaries from the Council.
The fact that the defeat of Tempest meant the invasion and destruction of every country neighboring the Jura forest forced those countries to give us their full support.
Therefore, the mercenary forces from those countries continued to arrive.
The Knights Templar Arnaud watched them.
There were currently 30,000 such mercenaries. If they keep coming, I wonder if we can feed them all.
For now, we will establish a garrison on the southeastern border. Ruberius will guard the northeast border.
The northwestern region was not under any threat of invasion at the moment, so they left the border guards there.
Considering that the 30,000 mercenaries sound like an exorbitant number, I feel that the countries actually also sent their knights here. The threat of total destruction must have been very effective.
Arnaud concluded that
「I'm of the opinion that 30,000 were from the nearest country. The rest has been postponed.
I think we can expect with a total strength of about 60,000 members here 」
Knights and mercenaries from every country …
Add just that much, whether it's a little or a lot, I don't know.
Lastly, there are adventurers guarding the Adventurer city inside our dungeon.
These volunteer soldiers are risking their lives to protect the dungeon city — so they are the fools who keep getting killed by our avatars.
They can also be useful, so I decided to ask Masayuki to order them.
「Why Me?」
He asked with a sad expression, but he was the type of person who could give good results.
He is quite reliable at times like these.
Oh, there's 10,000 volunteer troops. The number is surprising.
Well, considering Dungeon will be held — will go in sleep mode, so people can not laze there — this for their own good.
We promised to keep their sustenance, but there were rumors of rewards as well.
I feel Souei spread this rumor, but it might be a good idea to pay for it.
So the army remains our country of 50,000 men. Monsters in my domain, 50,000.
Mercenaries from other countries, 60,000. Adventurers 10,000.
Together we are a group of 170,000 great soldiers.
We currently only reached 50% of the expected value, but don't worry, the preparations went smoothly.
＊ ＊ ＊
At the same time, the Empire was gathering strength.
During the Tempest, even longer, they had prepared.
And now they have finished their preparations.
And this Great Leviathan awoke, and in its rampage caused great destruction …
