As we journeyed towards the Blumund Kingdom, Lady Testarossa extended a polite greeting. "Nice to meet you— I will be in your care then," she said with a calm demeanor.
"Likewise, thank you for assisting us, Lady Testarossa," I responded, acknowledging her with a respectful nod.
Despite her elegant appearance, my instincts as an adventurer warned me of potential danger lurking beneath her facade.
During our travels, I couldn't shake the thought that Dwargon and Tempest had united forces, and now they were aligning with Sarion as well. It was an unexpected collaboration among three of the four super countries, aimed at promoting the coexistence and tranquility a development that intrigued me, as it seemed to offer promising opportunities for cooperation rather than conflict.
Thanks to Master Rimuru.
"It's just as Lord Rimuru expected it to go— the royalties are in disarray because of the loss they are facing due to the failure of their invasion," Moss reported.
"Thank you very much, Moss, and the rest of the Black Numbers' officers. Just wait for a while, Miss Testarossa and us will be arriving shortly," I replied, expressing my gratitude.
As events quickly escalated, with our victory over the western human countries paving the way for plans to conquer each one of them, I made a decision. Despite the looming threat of war from demon lords and angels, I resolved to serve Tempest and work towards achieving the peace that Sir Rimuru and all of us longed for.
——Eurazania Borders——
In a sturdy stone temple adorned with simple technologies like fire torches, anger simmered among the inhabitants. The area was cluttered with waste and foliage, adding to the atmosphere of frustration.
"Argh! Those detestable bastards! How dare they suggest cooperation when we clearly have no choice!" exclaimed a furious bald man, his blood pressure soaring to alarming levels, turning his shiny head into a red ball.
"Father Middray, we must do as they want this time," mediated the man beside him, attempting to calm the situation.
Their master, Demon Lord Milim, had issued an order, and disobedience was not an option.
"Quiet, Hermes! I am well aware of that," snapped Father Middray, irritated by the reminder.
"Destroying Euzarania... Lady Milim must have some issues, huh?" Hermes ventured cautiously.
"Watch your mouth, Hermes! Do not doubt a single action of Lady Milim," Father Middray warned sternly.
"It's because you kept pampering her," Hermes retorted under his breath.
"I understand, I understand. But it is indeed strange, isn't it?" Hermes continued.
"What is?" Father Middray's frustration was evident, his face turning as red as a tomato.
"Lady Milim has announced that she has found a friend," Hermes revealed, shocking Father Middray.
"The Ruler of the monsters, the new power that emerged from the Great Jura Forest— Lady Milim's true friend. Just a few years ago, she was a little girl I was taking care of. Yet, she has become a fine lady," Father Middray reflected, pausing to collect his thoughts.
"But Lady Milim is not aging," he added, puzzled.
"You're right. I still can't believe Lady Milim found herself a friend. It was Rimuru Tempest, huh... And now that Rimuru is siding with the Euzaranians while Lady Milim is siding with Clayman," Hermes remarked, his tone incredulous.
