Everything was set, the Goblin Riders, Benimaru, Shion and Hakurou were all ready to go, Souei was already out and ahead to scout the area to be clear
"Alright, everyone, move out!" Benimaru yelled as the Direwolves howled and ran towards the Marshlands
A few moments later, they found something a bit unexpected. They found a Lizardman fighting an Orc, wounded and injured. Hakurou intervened in their fight, slicing off the Orc's head in a near instant, before helping the injured Lizardman stand up
"What happened?" Benimaru asked, concerned if anything bad happened while they were training Asriel
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Rimuru showed up, however they seemed a bit different, they were wearing a Cloak, hood over their head, and Shizu's Mask, and they also seemed- taller. Looking at the Lizardman, they asked;
"What's wrong?" Rimuru asked, and not only that, their voice sounded slightly deeper than usual, and would also throw a healing potion ball at the Lizardman to heal her wounds
Recognizing the appearance, the presence and the advanced healing potion, the Lizardman knelt down in front of Rimuru
"Lord Rimuru! I, along with the rest of the Lizardmen, are grateful for your assistance in this battle, however, there is terrible news. Gabiru has overthrown my Father, and..." The Lizardman continued telling the story of what happened
"So, it may sound selfish of me, but I beg you to help us, Lord Rimuru!" The Lizardman finished her story
"I see.. we-" As soon as Rimuru was about to say something, they were cut off
"Of course they will! Lord Rimuru is good of heart after all!" Shion said, completely disregarding what Rimuru's response would have been
And so, the Lizardman held Shipn's hands and constantly thanking Shion for it
(I didn't even say anything yet..) Rimuru thought
"Alright then, we'll continue our path onward to the marhslands" Rimuru said as they would begin flying up again
Shion took the Lizardman and let her ride behind her on the Direwolf, as the rest of the reinforcements would follow
Several minutes later...
In the Marshlands, Gabiru has been knocked down by the Orc General, his men surrounded and the Goblin advanced reinforcements, 200,000 Orcs all around, watching the Prince of Lizardmen get humiliated by their General. And just as when Gabiru was about to die, the Orc General's axe was parried away, by none other than...
Gobta
"I-it's you, the True Leader of the Goblins" Gabiru recognized who Gobta was, as he (somehow) lost to him in one hit
"Huh-?" Gobta responded in confusion, as Ranga also arrived, standing next to Gabiru of course
As of their arrival black flames exploded all throughout the large expanse of Orcs, disintegrating them instantly with no difficulty, the one behind this was Benimaru, and everyone else? They were all killing as much Orcs as they could, it was also at this time where Ranga evolved into a Tempest Star Wolf. And only in a few minutes, roughly 50,000 of the Orcs were killed with no trace, no body, nor the armor, and that also counts the Orc General, and weapons they once had. With this, caught the attention of Gelmud, the Magic-born, along with the Orc Lord to arrive in, and come to interfere. And of course, Gabiru was there to greet him. Where was Rimuru, with all this happening? Spectating, in the sky
"Lord Gelmud! Have you come here to save u-" Gabiru was immediately cut off by a shout from Gelmud
"You useless Lizard! You couldn't even fulfill an easy task!" Gelmud said in frustration as he charged up an attack towards Gabiru
