After a solid while of healish training from the teachings of who I and the rest students refer to as the Elderly Sword Teacher from Hell, aka Shifu while waiting for all of our equipment to be fully made by Brock and Kaijin, we set off the Lizardmen territory to finalize our agreement in person.
Starting up talks seemed to have gone the expected way. Leonardo suddenly barged in, threatened a dude, and gotten the Lizardman Chieftain to be open for negotiations. Normally, this type of negotiation would just make matters worse if done with anyone back in my previous world. Thankfully, the survival of the fittest rule amongst monster races made them more straightforward and overall easier to talk with.
Before we had left though, me and rimuru had named a couple of the ogres to act as our village's defense while we're away, although rimuru had me take the majority of the naming to make me take responsibility for suddenly letting them in without any notification before hand.
Currently we are riding on our Tempest Wolves, everyone has their respective weapons. Rimuru, Shifu, Benjamin, and Napoleon have katanas. Gobta with the rest of the Goblin riders have their short katanas and Lavandra has her Greater Sword while Leonardo has his ninja stars. As for myself, I tried using a katana, but it wasn't really working for me, eventually Shifu stated that katanas didn't seem to be the best blade for me. I tried a more medieval style sword, but it wasn't working for me either. Then I thought that maybe I'm a spear type of guy, that was a heavy nope.
I was left pretty stumped on what weapon worked best for me, it really didn't help that we were on a limited time frame. I was thinking of just using magic if I need to end up fighting, but my thoughts were changed when I tried out one the short swords that were made for the Goblin riders. After a few minutes of practice swinging, I felt this type of weapon was the closest I have to a compatible type. I wasn't fully satisfied with it completely since I still had keep the same awkward stances with a lower reach than previously. What started to get me to click was how light weight it was.
My type of fighting style was more swift with the use of light weight weapons. The best fitting would be a single hand weapon so I got Brock to make me a short single hand style katana. While glad I finally found the type of weapon I'm good at, I wasn't fully satisfied. I took it a step further by using the materials from the workshop to copy and produce another single hand katana with the calculations of Wise Sage. Essentially giving me dual blades and I think this fits me pretty well.
For the most part we simply been traveling in high speed on our Tempest wolfs for a few days. The only notable thing that happened was our encounter with who will be Souka.
Leonardo: Kaijuno-Sama, there's a lone lizardmen fighting against a group of orcs ahead of us. How may we proceed?
Kaijuno: Assist the Lizardmen, the rest of us will join you shortly
Leonardo: Hai
Kaijuno: There's a bunch of orcs ahead in the trail
Rimuru: Already?
Kaijuno: Yeah we must be getting close to the main army. Get ready for combat everyone, a group of orcs up ahead!
Everyone: Hai!
Everyone tensed up and braced themselves, only to be disappointed when there was none left to fight
Kaijuno: Damn Leonardo wasn't messing around
Benjamin: He could've at least left a few for us to fight
Leonardo: Kaijuno-Sama, this Lizardmen is still hurt from her battle
Rimuru: I got a potion for that
Rimuru poured a potion on the female lizardmen and she was able to regain her strength
Lizardmen: *cough* *cough* who are you all?
Kaijuno: I'm Kaijuno and this is Rimuru, I believe your folks were in talks with us regarding the orc invasion
Lizardmen: it's you two! PLEASE! please help my father, my idiot brother staged a coup against him and he's been locked up
Kaijuno: You're Gabiru's sister?
Lizardmen: Yes, my foolish brother thought he can take on the orc army but he severely underestimated the orc lord. I know this is a selfish request especially after we broken our agreement, but still I beg you to lend your great strength to save my father and brother from this
Lavandra: To acknowledge our lords great strength, you must have some good potential!
Kaijuno: That's nice but it's not really relevant Lavandra
Rimuru: If you're the chieftain's daughter, you wouldn't mind finalizing the agreement in his place?
Lizardmen: I wouldn't mind at all
Rimuru: All right, that settles the alliance then
Kaijuno: Leonardo, head over to lizardmen territory with her with shadow movement and rescue her father
Leonardo: Hai!
Rimuru: As for the rest of us, we'll continue onward to the battlefield
Before we set off again I took a moment to look closely at the orcs. Dang without the visual lens of a 2d anime, pig head humanoids looks absolutely freaky up close, not sure if being dead and bloody would really take away from that feeling
Brushing off this uneasiness, we continued onward towards the lizardmen and after a few hours of high speed traveling, we finally made it to the outskirts of the swamp. Despite only being right outside of the swamp, we can see a full view of the massive orc army. Safe to say, we can't find where the orc lord is amongst them.
It finally occurred to me that I'm gonna step into a war zone. I was already anxious on the way here but now I'm starting to panic from within
Kaijuno:(activate Unique Skill Humble)
Wise Sage:[Unique Skill Humble activated]
Why a refreshing breeze I gained back my composure, not sure how long the effect will last once in battle but at least I got things settled now
Rimuru: Alright this is how we'll do this. Ranga, Willfla, and the Goblin riders will go directly assist Gabiru and his men. All the kijin will focus on an offense against the orcs. Me and Kaijuno will fly above to search for the orc lord
Kaijuno: Everyone good with that?
Everyone: Hai!
Rimuru: Alright, let's hurry and move out!
As soon as we established the plan, we all head out towards the army, prepared for battle. I followed rimuru high into the air where there were no orcs to fight us, so you'd think it would be the calming place that you can find in a war. And it was... until I had look down to observe the battlefield
Kaijuno: (woah, woah, woah, WOAH! Holy Craaaap this far more high up than I'm used. I do everything I can to avoid rollercoasters and yet here I am, nearly as high as the clouds. Activate Unique Skill Humble)
Wise Sage:[Unique Skill Humble]
Kaijuno:( still, some sort of safety net would be nice)
Kaijuno: Hey rimuru
Rimuru: What's up?
Kaijuno: You OK if I attach a bloody thread on your arm for me to hold to
Rimuru: Why?
Kaijuno: Well ya know in case any one of us accidentally lost our flight balance and start to fall down
Rimuru:...are you afraid of heights?
Kaijuno: Well excuse me that I don't like the idea of falling from such a high place and ending up splattered all over the floor, especially while surrounded by hungry orcs
Rimuru: Alright! Alright! Jeesh, you can attach a thread, you don't need to make such a big deal
Kaijuno:(... Activate Unique Skill Humble)
Wise Sage:[Unique Skill Humble Activated]
Kaijuno: (I'm just gonna hope that I won't be needed to step foot into the war zone. Besides it was Rimuru who fought against the orc disaster so it's not like I need to put myself in danger)
Rimuru Pov
We watched as our fighters began their assault against the orcs. The Gobta had barely made it in time to save Gabiru. Soon after that, the Kijin started their attacks, and it's quite the surprise that they're able to perform such massive attacks. Benjamin Hellflames explodes in the middle of a massive groups of orcs in the form of a dome, while his father's Hellflames resembles more like a direct upgraded version of ogre flames as instead of a dome, it took a form of a vortex instead of a dome.
Lavandra is performing heavy long range slashes that cuts through the horde of orcs in front of her while also breaking the ground beneath her. Shifu is running through the horde while swiftly cutting through any nearby orcs.
It seems that now Ranga and Willfla are summoning hurricanes to kill the orc general infront of them
Rimuru: Wow! Never thought they were all this strong, right Kaijuno?... Kaijuno?
After not receiving a response and feeling that the thread attached to me feels a bit loose, I turned towards Kaijuno's direction only to be met with such a sudden sight
Kaijuno: WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUU--
Rimuru: HOW DID YOU GET CAUGHT UP IN THAT!?
Rimuru: HOW DID YOU GET CAUGHT UP IN THAT HURRICANE!?
Kaijuno: HOW DID YOU NOT GET CAUGHT UP IN THIS HURRICANE!?
Wondering how I was gonna get him, the hurricane slowly disappeared giving Kaijuno the open to break free from it
Kaijuno Oh my god! I thought I was gonna die there!
Rimuru: You got to be carful dude
Kaijuno: Well it's not like I was prepared to dodge the winds of a hurricane!
Kaijuno:(activate Unique Skill Humble
Wise Sage: [Unique Skill Humble Activated]
Rimuru: *sigh*...hey look Ranga and Willfla evolved into Tempest Star Wolves
Kaijuno: Really?! Was that why they were able to summon hurricanes? I see that Ranga gained an extra horn and Willfla finally got one of his own. It looks a bit different and a bit bigger than either of Ranga's but hey, better late than never to receive a horn
Rimuru: Yeah I guess so- Huh!
Kaijuno: What's up now?
Rimuru: I found him
Kaijuno: The orc lord?
Rimuru: Yeah
Nearby to where Gabiru and the goblin riders were at was an orc that was even larger than the orc general and it had no armor but it was holding a massive cleaver. But just as we finally found the orc lord, something from above bolted downwards, narrowly avoid both me and Kaijuno and landed on the ground, creating a small crater. As this happened, Leonardo also appear at the scene. Seemed like things have settled with the lizardmen.
Gelmund:..You, ALL OF YOU! How DARE you get in the way of the great Gelmund's plan.
Kaijuno: so all this time, we're up against a magical plaque doctor? What a weird scenario this ended up becoming
Rimuru: I guess so
Gelmund: This was supposed to swimmingly! I was supposed to made a new demon lord to control, to have the ultimate pawn! All of you were meant to be nourishment, to feed and give power to my orc lord
Napoleon: So that's why you decided to attack our home
Lavandra: To turn our people into livestock
Bejamin: All for this damn scheme
It was noticeable that the Kijin were getting pissed at what this guy was spewing out
Gabiru: Gelmund-Sama! Have you come to save us?
Gelmund: Of course not fool! I came here to steer things back on track. Starting by making you food for orc lord
Gabiru: W-what!? What do you mean by that!?
Gelmund: What I meant is that accept the honor a being an offering like you were meant to! Now DIE!
Gabiru: Gelmund-Sama!
Gelmund fired off a destructive ball of magicules towards Gabiru who was being protected by three of his men, bracing themselves to die. But the attack never reached them as the attack was blocked off by Kaijuno.
Kaijuno Pov
That was a bit too close for timing. The three lizardmen would've likely survived like in the canon, but with how gravely injured they were, I didn't want to risk the small chance of their death. Kinda stole Rimuru's moment due to my paranoia but I doubt this will be much anyways. Now how should I respond?... Oh! I know!
Kaijuno: Your foul scheme was never going succeed, you fiendish majin. "For I Am Here!"
Kaijuno:(HAHAHA! That felt so perfect! To think I was able to use that line HAHA!)
Wise Sage:[*sigh*]
Kaijuno: (did you really gave me a sigh?)
Wise Sage:[Negative]
Kaijuno:(Suuuuuuuuuuuuure)
Gelmund: How Dare You! Who do you think you are, you lycanthrope brat!
Kaijuno:(was that the term for beastmen? I forgot since beastmen was the easier of the two)
Kaijuno: The name's Kaijuno Tempest, aka the one who will humble you
Gelmund:what-
Before I let him say a pointless response, I used bloody thread to latch on the him. Then I swiftly reeled him in and gave him a sucker punch when he was within range
*punch*
Gelmund: Ack!
*punch*
Gelmund: You little-
*punch*
Gelmund: be-east bra-
*punch*
Kaijuno: Stop hitting yourself
*punch*
Kaijuno: Stop hitting yourself
*punch*
Kaijuno: Stop hitting yourself
*punch*
Gelmund: You're the who's hitting me, you pu-
*punch*
Gelmund:Ack!
Alright, I had my fill, I even broke the bird tip of his mask, although not broken enough to see his face. I was always mildly curious what was under that mask.
Kaijuno: he's your punching bag now!
I used the threads to swing Gelmund over towards the Kijin. I always found it a bit of a bummer that they never got their personal revenge on Gelmund so thought this as a satisfying karma to see. And OH BOY, they were all the more the merrier to take this opportunity
Gelmund: NO! NO! Stay away from me, you filthy mon-
What proceeded was a brutal beat down, that was ironically joyous to watch
*STOMP*
*STOMP*
Kaijuno:Hm?
*STOMP*
Geld:...You!
Kaijuno:...yeah?
Geld: A beastman child how holds a power of a magic beast, you must hold great power, child
Kaijuno: I'm not sure I'm that strong
Geld: No, I can see that there's strength within, strength that I wish to have for myself!
Kaijuno: I really think you're giving me too much credit
Geld: Don't bother trying to lie to me! I know you have power and I WILL DEVOUR YOU!
Kaijuno:(... CRAP! I didn't came here to actually fight, I was gonna let rimuru handle the orc lord like in the original canon, I didn't want to take this moment too! I don't want to die!)
Not given a chance to object to this, Geld swung his cleaver towards me, likely to chop me head off. Thank goodness to Wise Sage's thought acceleration, I was able to dodge in time. Although I could likely recover with my intrinsic regeneration, I wouldn't have appreciated getting my head chopped of either way
Kaijuno:(HOLY SHIT! That was waaay too close! Activate Unique Skill Humble!)
Wise Sage:[Unique Skill Humble Activated]
Kaijuno:( okay I got my composure back. But how am I supposed to handle him? Not only can he do heavy damage with that cleaver, he can also endure a lot too, especially with his very likely great willpower. I'm sure such a trait runs in the family. But the worst of all is that chaos eater Skill, with it being a close range projectile and not only you'll take damage from it, but if it touches any part of you, your body will rot from it's corrosion effect. It's basically a skill that punishes close range offense)
Geld: Quite a quick one are ya, well your speed won't be able to keep you away from my chaos eater!
Kaijuno:(speak of the literal devil)
I spent a very long minute just evading his chaos eater attack, I couldn't get close enough get any strikes against him and I ended up activating Humble 5 times in that single minute since the chaos eaters kept putting me on edge
Kaijuno: *pant* *pant* look at that. I know you put more into attack and defense but if your only swift attack can't get a hold of me, do you think you got much of a shot?
Geld: Don't get cocky! That speed isn't gonna save you forever! I will get a hold of you and I WILL EAT YOU!
Kaijuno: I dunno, I think you be might falling behind infact
Geld: Arrhhg! We'll see about that!
Kaijuno:( Heh, cocky? It's quite an ironic claim. I'm not feeling cocky, infact I'm far from feeling any amount of confidence in this. Even if my Danger Measurement sub-skill is telling me that I at least have solid chance against Geld, especially since he hasn't evolved into the orc disaster, I feel I don't have any hope against him.
It absolutely baffling that anyone else here at most feel uneasy but still hold their resolve and would give him a run for his money. And yet here I am, internally crying and figuratively peeing myself if I was physically capable of doing so. It's taking all my willpower just to keep my legs from being frozen in place. Even with my Calm Mind Sub-skill, it'll only last for a couple of moments until I immediately start to panic again, with its limited effect time I can only keep my composure long enough keep this fight at a stalemate.
The reality is that I'm the worst person to be fighting against this guy, heck even gobta or gabiru would've handled this better than me. Despite gaining power that could be considered broken, my internal resolve is still making me the most pitiful out of everyone here.
Even in a new life, I'm still the worthless person from back then, what I'm capable of now is still not enough like it always was back then. It's been a while since I felt so pathetic and humiliated that I pitied myself. I'm sorry everyone for being the weakest one here)
VOTW:[ Notice: conditions have been met. Now commencing the evolution of Unique Skill Humble. Evolution shall now proceed... Successful, Unique Skill Humble has evolved into Unique Skill Humility. Unique Skill Humility includes the following sub-skills: Inner Peace, Follower's Resolve, Danger Calculation, and Danger Instinct]
Kaijuno:(W-what!? My Unique Skill had suddenly evolved! But good would that do?)
Geld: CHAOS EATER!
Kaijuno:(Aaaaaah! Whatever! Activate Unique Skill Humility)
Wise Sage:[Unique Skill Humility Activated]
I just have to continue stalling the orc lord until it's rimuru's turn. After a solid moment of evasion I knew I'll run out the effect duration, so I had to activate it again
Kaijuno:( Activate Unique Skill Humility)
Wise Sage:[ Unique Skill Humility is still activated]
Kaijuno:(Still? What do you mean by that?)
Wise Sage:[ Unique Skill Humility's sub-skill, Inner Peace is an upgraded version of Unique Skill Humble's Calm Mind. Unlike Calm Mind, Inner Peace doesn't have a limited duration, putting master under constant mental ease and composure]
Kaijuno: ( So I don't have to worry about those in-between moments of vulnerability?)
Wise Sage:[Correct]
Kaijuno:( Alright, dunno how much of an improvement this will make, but hopefully it will make fighting the orc lord somewhat manageable. You know what, if I can keep this up, how about I add some music to go along with this. Play Rules of Nature!)
Wise Sage:[Playing Rules of Nature]
["The tiiiiiiime has come to an end!"]
After evading the chaos eaters for a solid ten seconds, I decided try to dash towards the orc lord hoping for a shot at striking him this time.
["Being tracked by a starving beast looking for it's daily feast. A predator on the verge of death"]
I ran straight forward towards the orc lord, using Thought Acceleration and Inner Peace to help dodge all the chaos eaters.
["Getting close to it's last breeeaaath! RULES OF NATURE!"]
Finally I gotten close enough for the orc lord to be in striking range.
["And they run when the sun comes up!"]
I swung both of my duel blades at the orc lord, but my attack was blocked by his massive cleaver
Kaijuno:( No! Not after coming this far!)
["With their lives on the line! (ALIVE!)"]
I covered my duel blades in Violet Flames and it spread all over his cleaver, making him drop it immediately and watch it melt from the flames
["Gotta follow the laws of the WIIIILD!"]
Kaijuno: see that! I told ya you were falling behind!
Geld:( What just happened!? We were at a stalemate before but now suddenly it is as if he suddenly gained power. He suddenly was able to move past my chaos eaters and actually reach me, but not only that, his first attack ended up melting my weapon. Was he holding back all this time? Is he actually a high ranking monster that was just toying with me. Does he really have the power to slay me?... no,no,NO! I WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT! I CAN'T ACCEPT THAT!)
Geld: I AM THE ORC LORD OF LEGENDS, I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY A MERE CHILD!
It seemed I have to get ready for round 3 but before that could happen, my Danger Instinct was giving me the feeling that I was gonna get attacked from behind, as such I dodged accordingly
Gelmund: GET AWAY FROM MY PAWN, YOU BRAT! DEATHMARCH DANCE!
Kaijuno: Woah! Seemed you slipped away from the Kijin. If the title of majin doesn't end up working for you, the title of weasel will fit greatly.
Gelmund: You insolent little- GRRRRR, you have no idea who you're messing with! Getting in the way of his plans will only set you on an even worst fate, you arrogant punk!
Kaijuno: He? Who's this "He" you're speaking of? Doesn't seem to be the orc lord behind you, so does that mean there is some higher up that is actually the one pulling strings?
Gelmund: A-ah nope! It is purely my intelligent scheme! I'm not associated with anyone!
Kaijuno: Well you are a majin, it would easy to assume you work for a demon lord. Since they're likely looking over this, I got a little message for them
Gelmund: A message?
Kaijuno: Yes, For everyday that goes by, we only getting stronger. Just because the storm dragon has disappeared doesn't mean you should no longer fear this forest. For every second you glance, sweat, and breathe, I am getting closer. From the bottom of my heart, if you continue to give me a reason to, I won't hesitate to show the whole world, that a demon lord can bleed
Gelmund: EEEK! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FREAK! ORC LORD! What are you doing! Eat this brat already and evolve into the Orc Disaster!
Geld: But I'm hungry
Gelmund: Well no kidding fool! That's why I'm ordering you eat this problematic being! Cmon work with me here Orc Lor- I mean Geld
Geld:Hmm!
*STOMP*
*STOMP*
Gelmund: Haha! Prepare yourself for now you shall face your en-
*Grab*
Gelmund: W-what!? Get your hands off me, you filthy pig!
Since Geld no longer had his cleaver, he had to resort to eating Gelmund alive
Gelmund: NO, NO! You can't do this to me, I am the Great Gelmund! I am a superior maj-
*Chomp*
In brutal attack on titan style way to die, Gelmund's head was bitten off by the same being he saw as a pawn and soon after, the rest of the body was consumed.
What followed was the evolution of the orc lord into the orc disaster, in more details, his evolution into a demon lord seed
Geld: I am the Orc Disaster and I will devour all within this world for I am Geld, Geld the Demon Lord!
Jeesh the atmosphere was already getting pretty tensed but now it's gotten heavy with Geld's evolution
Kaijuno:( things are starting to look less bright, I'm sure the others are growing uneasy, shame that I'm only one here with the mental relief skill)
Wise Sage[Notice: master can perform Follower's Resolve to relief the mental weight of those that are connected to master directly instead of emitting a limited range diameter aroma like Candle Aroma]
Kaijuno:( alright in that case, activate Follower's Resolve
Wise Sage:[Activating Follower's Resolve]
That had seem to put a good amount people at ease, next thing I knew, Lavandra was already dashing towards the orc disaster
Kaijuno: Woah! Hang on!
Benjamin: It's alright Kaijuno, you've done enough, let us take it from here
What occurred was the kijin's and Tempest Star Wolves rush assault on the orc disaster, leaving him all bruised up all over, not dead but noticeably worst for wear
Orc General: my liege, please feed on me to heal from your wounds
Geld: Hmm
Right before Geld got a hold on the orc general, a massive bolt of violet lighting struck down on both of them. While the Orc Disaster wasn't too fazed by attack, the orc general's entire body was disintegrated, leaving nothing for the Orc Disaster to consume
Kaijuno: If you think I would let you recover, you are surely mistaken!
Geld: You insolent little pest! No matter, I will devour you all either way!
Geld unleashed a flurry of deathmarch dances towards us. I was about to use Muncher to absorb the attack but someone else beat me to it
Rimuru: No worries, I got this from here
Kaijuno: Heh, you sure took your sweet time
Bejamin: are you sure?
Rimuru: yep, I can handle the rest of this
Geld: Another pest!? It doesn't matter how many appear, it will simply be more for me to consume!
Rimuru: bring it on!
Thank goodness, rimuru finally decided to show themself. I no longer need to fight and can simply just take a breather
Kaijuno:(phew what a battle that was. I ended up evolving a unique skill just to get by. I tried out Inner Peace, Follower's Resolve and Danger Instinct, but what about Danger Calculation?)
Wise Sage:[ Danger Calculation can calculate the success percentage that master has against an opponent]
Kaijuno: (Really!? Well, what was my percentage against the pre evolved orc lord?)
Wise Sage:[master's success rate against the orc disaster was 60%]
Kaijuno: (Seriously!? The odds were somewhat in my favor for the fight. But if those were the odd against the orc lord, what would be the percentage against the orc disaster?)
Wise Sage:[ master's success rate against the orc disaster is 30%]
Kaijuno: (Dang! My chances were halved over evolution. Not that it matters now since rimuru is gonna take care of it, at least I have front row seats to the show in front of me.)
What followed was the orc disaster vs rimuru fight with most of the fight being rather the same except for the cleaver melting since it was already gone
Kaijuno: (I think now I'm starting to realize something. I used to constantly watch this during my reruns, the same old fight, over and over again. But now I get to watch this fight personally with my own bare eyes and no screen in the middle, this chance I've gotten really is the biggest privilege I could ask for)
Soon enough, the battle along with the whole war has finally settled in the same fashion, with rimuru devouring the orc disaster and free the orcs from their starvation. All while taking up a very suggestive form
Kaijuno: Is that?
Rimuru proceeds to twist and turn
Kaijuno: Yup that's definitely a dild- eh nevermind.
A new day began with erupted cheers and despairing realizations all there's left now is to figure how we will settle this in regards to the remaining orcs
*Later that day*
Within the Lizardmen throne room resides representatives from the lizardmen tribe, orcs, goblin villages, dryad, and us, to discuss what we shall do with the orcs
Rimuru: Erm all right! I'm not sure how to exactly start this off, but I settle some points for everyone to listen to completely before making their judgement
Everyone nodded in agreement
Rimuru: first off, I don't intend to punish the orcs for what has happened.
Geld's Son: wait hold on! After everything we've done, we must be punished is some way
Rimuru: Too bad. In order for Geld to accept defeat and rest in peace, I accepted all your sins. So if anyone has any problems, feel free to take it up with me!
Lizardmen Chief: I see, but for the rest of us, this come off as unfair
Kaijuno: A fine point, but there one unwritten law amongst all of us, "survival of the fittest" all of us were fighting with our lives on the line like it always has been for monsters
Lizardmen Chieftain: hmmm
Kaijuno: And not all the fault were solely from the orcs despite being the invading army
Lizardmen Chieftain: You hold my interest
Kaijuno: During the battle, fashionable majin had suddenly appeared which seemed to be the one to have named your son
Chief/Chief's daughter:!
Kaijuno: and majin had revealed that a demon lord was pulling the strings in this whole invasion, that's why all the orcs had armor to begin with.
Lizardmen Chieftain: A-a Demon lord!
Kaijuno: Yes the orcs were unfortunately victims of a demon lords, if anyone one of us were put under the same condition, it's likely the result would've been the same.
Lizardmen Chieftain: I'm starting to see what you mean. But will become of the orcs then? If you have no intention to punish them, then will we do about them?
Rimuru: hmmm, hm, hm, ya know, this might come off as optimistic, but I think we all should form an alliance with eachother
Lizardmen Chieftain: an alliance?
Rimuru: Yeah! Wouldn't it be cool for all of us to work together, regardless of race, the dryads provide vegetation, the goblins provide housing, the lizardmen provide water, and the orcs can provide in labor
Geld's son: Y-you sure you want us in your alliance?
Rimuru: Well it's not like you got anywhere else to go don't ya. You just gotta put in some work in return, no lazy bums allowed
Orcs: Hai!
Kaijuno: It's also very likely that our paths will cross again with the demon lord. It was thanks to our united front that we were able to win this battle but I'm sure our war with them is yet to end. What we need is unity to combat their future forces
Rimuru: You cool with that Treyni?
Treyni: Yes, caretaker of the forest, I firmly declare the forming of the Jura Forest Alliance, led by our two chancellor Rimuru and Kaijuno Tempest
With this declaration, everyone in the room bowed to us
Rimuru:( Me!? Shouldn't the Chancellor be Treyni's job?)
Kaijuno:( Me!? Shouldn't the Chancellor by Rimuru's Job?)
Rimuru: Erm, Alright! I hope we can all work together
Everyone: Hai!
*Later that Day*
I'm overseeing the swamp from a distance cliff. I'm currently waiting for when we'll start the orc naming. Rimuru is gonna have me help him out with the naming to speed up the process. I am definitely not looking forward to it since it's not only the tedious naming but also the large numbers that we'll have to name, along with the bonus of consuming the starve effect, converting it into magicules and using it to name an individual. Yeah safe to say, my week is pretty booked.
While I was waiting for a long week, I was approached by the kijins
Napoleon: Kaijuno-Sama
Kaijuno: I know, the terms of our agreement has now been officially settled, it was great to work alongside you though
Kaijuno:(while the kijins chose to stay with rimuru in canon, I'm really not sure that would be the case here. I didn't feel I had a chance to show my strength against the orc lord. All I did was melt his blade while all them were able to get multiple blow on him. I'm sure their developed a poor impression of me because of my lack of strength)
Napoleon: Actually there is something I've been meaning to ask
Kaijuno:...yeah?
Napoleon: we've been in talks for a while and we decided that we wished for you to accept us as your permanent subordinates
Kaijuno:... really?
Shifu: of course, after all, your training isn't quite over yet
Benjamin: It's been our pleasure to be able to serve you
Leonardo: and an absolute honor
Lavandra: and I am your faithful bodyguard, I am never leaving your side
Napoleon: truly, we can never thank you enough for saving us from such a cruel fate, we are forever in your debt.
Kaijuno:*sniff* *sniff*
Napoleon: it seems that the young lord is crying
Kaijuno: I'm- I'm not crying *sniff*
Napoleon: letting such emotions flow is nothing to be ashamed of
Kaijuno: Right!
