Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
The second day of the Great War.
El Dorado, the domain ruled by Demon Lord Leon Cromwell.
One of the Four Fiends of the Heaven Commanders, Kagali, began to move.
After the Walpurgis ended, each of the Demon Lords returned to their own territory in order to prepare for the Great War, the Black Knight Claude also returned to Leon.
After parting with Chloe, it took a while to return due to his caution towards Yuuki’s notice.
Even if he took quite a while, from Claude’s point of view, it was very necessary for him to be extremely cautious.
He returned and requested an audience with Leon.
Obviously, Claude believed that the audience would take quite a while to take place, since there was a possibility that he is still brainwashed.
However, Claude was guided straight before Leon.
As such, he explained all of the events that happened up till now.
With the clone “Shadow Knight” left behind, he had continued to grasp the situation.
In other words, he knows about the “Crimson Purge” by the “Scorch Dragon” Velgrind; Yuuki usurping the Ultimate Skill『Justice Lord Michael』from Rudra.
As well as the discord between Demon Lord Rimuru and Yuuki.
He was able to grasp everything through his “Shadow Knight.”
His “Shadow Knight” was destroyed afterwards due to contact with the angel of “Armageddon” that Rudra activated. But it could be said that he had succeeded in gathering enough information.
For Claude, his utmost priority was to bring his intel to his master Leon, whom he has pledged his allegiance to, even at the risk of his life.
And his wish came true, Leon has now learned it all.
「Well done.」
Two words.
It’s a disappointing response. However, for Claude, those words were priceless.
「Those words are more than I deserve――」
Claude became overwhelmed with emotion.
However, he understood that it is not the time to be immersed in emotion.
And that is the same for Leon too.
The intel from Claude was more detailed than what Demon Lord Rimuru had explained at the Walpurgis.
“Does this mean Demon Lord Rimuru is trying to steal the march over the other Demon Lords?”
Leon couldn’t throw away such a doubt, but he judged that that was not the whole truth.
There was no contradiction between Rimuru’s and Claude’s information, his doubt about the exaggeration of the enemy forces was cleared up.
If that’s the case, it can be said that the enemy has gigantic war potential.
「Claude, do you think that we can oppose them right now?」
The Black Knight Claude is the strongest knight among Leon’s subordinates so he sensed some value in Claude’s opinion.
「I’m afraid…… I need to express my honest thoughts.
As the difference in the number of this side and that side is great, perhaps, at best we can oppose an army of 50.000 angels assuming we devote ourselves to defense.
