Chapter 424: Shocked Human Nations; Merger of Territories
It was not until she had "killed" Rimuru that she vaguely realized that something was wrong.
After returning to the Holy Church, she reviewed all her actions this time and realized some inconsistencies. For some reason, she felt as if someone was tempting her to get rid of Rimuru.
No, it’s not about getting rid of Rimuru, but about destroying Tempest, the kingdom of monsters.
Could it be that the information I learned from the Eastern Merchant about Rimuru killing Teacher Shizuka is really true?!
Where did that businessman get this news?
The Kingdom of Farmus and the Holy Church attacked Tempest together. Was it really just to eliminate the monsters?
Although she had her doubts, she had already taken action against Rimuru, and everything was over.
After returning to the Holy Empire, she learned that the army of the Farmus Kingdom had been completely wiped out.
Before I had the chance to investigate, I was summoned here by Lady Luminas, and learned the news.
Rimuru becomes the Demon King and [Storm Dragon] Veldora revives. This is definitely not a coincidence!
But now, it's all... too late.
After learning about Tempest's fighting power from Luminas, she knew that she had to give an explanation for this matter.
Otherwise, once such an enemy is established for the Holy French Empire, it will definitely affect the subsequent "Heaven-Demon War".
It seems that she has to go to Tempest in person to meet the new Demon Lord Rimuru.
Luminas, who was still marveling at Tempest's power, also vaguely sensed Hinata's inconsistency and asked with a hint of 'concern'.
"Hinata, are you okay? You look so grim!"
Hinata was startled by Luminas's 'sudden' concern and hurriedly explained.
"It's alright, Lady Luminas, I was just thinking about the past!"
Hinata still gave up on reporting her and Rimuru's "grudge" to Luminas. She didn't want to ruin Lady Luminas's plan because of her own reasons!
Lady Luminas had told her about the importance of the "Demon War", and she wanted to understand this feud as soon as possible.
But... [Storm Dragon] Veldora, Demon Lord Rimuru, and Demon Lord Morax, Tempest is really... powerful!
Hinata Sakaguchi couldn't help but smile bitterly inwardly.
While Luminas and Hinata were talking about Tempest's strength and the upcoming events related to the "Demon War", Tempest began to develop rapidly under the leadership of Rimuru and "Moracus".
However, unlike the original work, because of Mo Li's faked death, Rimuru did not hide the fact that he massacred 20,000 soldiers as he did in the original work, and the news of the revival of the Storm Dragon Veldora was also released.
For a time, every human force on the continent could not help but be wary of Tempest because of the "cruelness" of the new Demon King Rimuru.
Not only that, after learning that [Storm Dragon] Veldora had revived and formed an alliance with the new Demon Lord Rimuru, the Western countries directly united and regarded the Demon Federation - Tempest as the new common enemy of mankind.
This also led to most human forces being extremely hostile to Tempest, making it much more difficult for Tempest to get along with humans than in the original work.
And many great nations of humanity have also learned the identities of the many demon kings of the new demon king 'Jiu Tian Zhi Shi'.
After learning that Morax, the other founder of Tempest and known as the 'Emperor of Rock', was also a demon king, the major powers raised the danger level of Tempest to another level.
With one dragon and two demon kings, Tempest was directly listed by many forces as a person who should not be provoked.
For a time, the Demonic Federation—Tempest was in a panic on the road.
And Mo Li in Tempest was not idle during this period. He directly returned the territory "Puppet Kingdom" allocated to him by Qi to the Great Forest of Qila, and let Rimuru govern the "Puppet Kingdom" on his behalf.
Frey, who was a subordinate of Moli, was also included in Rimuru's rule, but the ruling power was still in his hands, and in name Frey was still subject to Morax.
Because of this incident, a certain black devil was so angry that his teeth itched. In his opinion, Frey's "lip service" behavior was an insult to Lord Rimuru. However, under the suppression of a certain blue slime, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he did not dare to say a word "no".
Milim's 'Dragon City' and her subordinate Karion's 'Beast Kingdom' also joined the alliance.
Milim directly asked Midore, the eldest brother among the dragon breeders in her 'Dragon City', to come to Tempest to discuss with Rimuru and others, while Karion was more direct and did not leave because the 'Beast Kingdom' was still under construction.
He also discussed directly with Rimuru about the future transaction between the Beast Kingdom and Tempest.
Not only that, he also took the opportunity to consult with Mo Li, who was praised as the "Emperor of Rock" and the "God of War" by the monsters in Tempest, and received Mo Li's guidance, and his strength improved significantly.
"Ah Li, isn't it against the rules for you to do this?!"
At this time, the slime who was the leader of the Great Jila Forest and one of the 'Nine Heavenly Rulers' asked the handsome young man who was holding him with some concern.
What Rimuru was worried about was nothing else but the fact that Mo Li had divided his own territory, the 'Puppet Kingdom', into the jurisdiction of the Great Yula Forest.
You have to know that up to now, no demon king has divided his territory into the rule of another demon king. Wouldn't Li Qiye's "breaking the rules" and "acting first and reporting later" cause dissatisfaction among other demon kings or the "Dark Emperor"? !
Indeed, according to the rules among the demon kings, each demon king has a territory of his own. What Mo Li did resulted in was the merger of the Jiula Forest and the 'Puppet Kingdom' into one territory. Two demon kings for one territory was indeed not in line with the rules.
“It’s okay! Guy will probably give me some face!”
Mo Li had been planning this when he accepted the 'Demon King's Seat', which was why he chose the 'Puppet Kingdom' as his territory.
The Puppet Kingdom borders Tempest, so it is easier to merge with it and more convenient for Rimuru and him to manage.
As for the "rules" that Rimuru mentioned, he could find a time to go to the frozen continent and "explain" them to Guy, or else invite Guy to Tempest for a good "chat".
"He 'thinks' Guy won't care about such a small matter!"
PS: Here is the second update of today.
The plot is already advancing very quickly, so dear readers, don't be anxious, as we will soon reach the battle between saints and demons.
Finally, the humble kitten asks for a free little gift.
No, just watch an ad! Please. (Pitiful) (Kneeling) (Thank you)
