"Where did these enemies come from! How dare they attack here, don't they know that Demon Lord Clayman is in the castle?"
Yamza looked at his subordinate, who had stumbled in, and shouted in disbelief.
"Your subordinate doesn't know either! But there shouldn't be more than five thousand attackers!"
"What should we do now, Lord Yamza!"
Hearing that there were only five thousand enemies, Yamza's spirits immediately lifted.
He had always been one to bully the weak and strong, and he remembered that he had an army of twenty thousand troops.
Twenty thousand against five thousand, the advantage is mine! He then showed a disdainful expression and said,
"Hmph! Just a few enemies, is there any need to be so flustered! Follow me out and wipe these guys out!"
With that, Yamza led the way out of the tent. The mercenary who had come to report originally wanted to say something.
Seeing this scene, he swallowed the words he wanted to say.
"Ah ah ah! What kind of monsters are these! Why is every single one of them so strong!"
A Clayman army soldier looked at his comrades being slaughtered wildly and shouted in despair.
"Hahaha! Finally, some action! If we don't act now, we'll be even worse than those guys in the Academy Guard!"
An Imperial Guard Corps soldier had just cut down the enemy in front of him and shouted loudly, looking refreshed.
Around him, no less than fifty corpses lay silently.
However, the blood flowing from under the corpses had already dyed the land crimson.
"Hey, hey, save some for me! We agreed that each person could only get three!"
"Look around you, you're ruining the market!"
On the other side, another Imperial Guard Corps soldier looked at him with anger.
"Agreed? Who agreed? You wouldn't think there'll be such a good opportunity to fight in the future, would you!"
"I heard that the army is expanding again! By then, as Imperial Guard, do you think we'll still have a chance to fight?"
The accused soldier calmly flicked the blood from his blade, then slowly spoke.
"What? How do you know that!"
The soldier, who suddenly heard the bad news, asked in disbelief.
"Can I tell you that my brother-in-law's family's third uncle's niece's husband's younger brother was standing guard outside the meeting room at the time!"
"Damn it, you actually have such connections. It seems I underestimated you!"
"Hehe! Just average, just average!"
"Well, I'm not chatting with you anymore! I also need to kill a few more!"
After saying that, the soldier instantly vanished from his spot, reappearing as he was sheathing his blade.
The enemies in the distance between his disappearance and reappearance immediately spurted blood and fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Hey, hey, hey! Is this a joke!"
Yamza looked in shock at his own army falling at a visible speed.
He actually felt a threat from every single one of the opponents; this was simply impossible.
He was, after all, Demon Lord Clayman's confidant, the middle finger of the five fingers, Yamza.
Now you're telling me I'm on the same level as the enemy's grunts! Am I not awake!
"Lord Yamza, what should we do now? They're about to reach here!"
The two mercenaries following behind Yamza asked in panic.
"What are you panicking about! This is Lord Clayman's territory!"
"To Lord Clayman, these guys in front of us are nothing but ants!"
"Alright! You two take people and hold them off, I'm going to see Lord Clayman!"
"Ah? * 2"
"What 'ah'! This is an order, if you don't obey, I'll kill you now!"
The two subordinates looked at Yamza's expression, which clearly said he would kill them if they dared to object, and could only nod in despair.
"Hmph!"
After a cold snort, Yamza hurried towards the castle.
At this moment, Clayman had actually already noticed that someone was attacking his army.
However, he didn't pay any attention to it. In his opinion, these guys attacking his castle were just seeking death.
"Shuna, look, look! Skeletons!"
"Hehe! They are indeed skeletons, Lord Rimuru!"
Shuna looked at the excited Rimuru with a doting expression, her tone gentle as she agreed.
"Although I don't want to attack you all, I can't help myself, so I can only offend you!"
Adalman, Clayman's necromancer, said to the people in front of him with a serious tone.
"Hmph! If you want to attack Lord Rimuru, you'll have to get past me first!"
Upon hearing this, Shuna immediately stood in front of Rimuru, looking at Adalman seriously and saying.
After speaking, she turned her head to Rimuru and the other two and continued,
"Lord Rimuru, leave this guy to me! You all continue forward!"
"Okay! Then I'll leave this guy to you! Be careful!"
Hearing Shuna's words, Rimuru nodded and reminded her.
"Don't worry, Lord Rimuru!"
"Alright, let's go!"
With that, Rimuru led Testarossa and Shion forward.
Because Adalman was being stared down by Shuna, he made no moves and instead allowed Rimuru and the other two to pass.
"Hehe, it really feels like fighting a BOSS, one stage after another!"
Rimuru looked at the giant fox blocking their way and said in surprise.
"I'll handle this guy, Lord Rimuru!"
Shion looked at the giant fox in front of her, and for some reason, she just found her a bit annoying.
So she spoke up, offering to take care of the fox herself.
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
After saying that, Rimuru continued forward with Testarossa.
"System notification, a new BOSS has appeared!"
Hearing Rimuru's words, Testarossa, who was beside him, couldn't help but cover her cherry lips with her delicate hand and let out a soft laugh.
"Hehe! Lord Rimuru, you are truly humorous!"
"Hehe! It's all from A Chen!"
Rimuru scratched his cheek, saying with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Is it really alright for you two to ignore me like this?"
Myulan looked at the two who were ignoring her and couldn't help but speak up to assert her presence.
Upon hearing Myulan's words, Testarossa, who had been smiling and talking with Rimuru, instantly had her expression darken.
She slowly turned her head to look at Myulan, who had spoken, and said in a cold tone,
"Just a mere demon! Who allowed you to interrupt our conversation!"
Myulan immediately felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave upon hearing this, as if she was being targeted by some great terror.
Myulan, who was about to say something, suddenly saw the white figure appear before her eyes.
Testarossa extended her right hand, grabbed Myulan's neck, and lifted her up.
"As the price for your disrespect, you shall repay it with your life!"
With that, Testarossa tightened her right hand without hesitation.
Myulan was easily strangled to death by Testarossa without even a shred of resistance.
This individual, who had caused the Monster Country Federation immense losses in the original work but was forgiven by Rimuru.
This time, she truly had no opportunity to be a double-crosser again.
"Wow! Testarossa, aren't you going to listen to what she wanted to say?"
Rimuru looked at Testarossa, who had acted mercilessly, in surprise.
"Hehe! Lord Rimuru, there's no need to waste too much time on such a minor character!"
"Oh!"
Rimuru nodded obediently, indicating he understood, after hearing her.
"Alright! Let's continue forward. I think Clayman must be getting impatient..."
