Chapter 204 - The Confused World

The Confused World

Day 3 of the great war, in the Holy City of Ruberios.

Shion eyed the incoming Dagruel forces, and a cold, dark smile surfaced on her face.

As she thought that the chance has finally come, for her to let loose all the frenzied furious anger that was within her....

On the first day of the great war, Shion along with Adalman and Albert were ordered by their master Demon Lord Rimuru, to move out to aid Demon Lord Ruminas.

Having visited when he was working with Gerudo in setting up the Transit Gates, Adaman guided their forces to Ruminas' castle; upon reaching, the atmosphere at the castle was unnaturally calm despite the fact that they were in battle with the angels.

Ruminas was "elegantly" relaxing, as she lounged on her couch.

And, towards Shion and the other guests,

「To think I would get reinforcements against that measly angel army, that Rimuru is quite the worrywart.

Sure, the humans would be in danger should we fall here....

But isn't this a little too overprotective?

Not even I expected something like this to happen so soon.」

She calmly and matter-of-factly addressed.

But....

「Rimuru-sama, has predicted that there would be an incoming attack here, from Demon Lord Dagruel who has betrayed us.」

She froze upon hearing Shion's reply.

Ruminas was confident that her forces can maintain their advantage against the angel army, but if Dagruel's forces were to come into play, that changes everything.

More so, the fact that Dagruel, one of the oldest pillars among the demon lords, has made his move; this isn't a situation that can be taken lightly anymore.

「Gather the others immediately! We're holding a strategy conference right away!」

With Ruminas' command, her followers, the 7 great nobles and ranking commanders, gave orders for the other key appointment holders to gather.

Right on the dot of nightfall, it was fortunate that the angels began to pull out.

Thanks to that, the other officers who were taking part in battles are now able to attend the conference.

Not wasting time, they gathered at the conference hall where a light dinner was prepared.

Representing them, were the 7 great nobles, the "Seven Celestial Sages", and the Holy Knight Arnoud.

The second-in-commands, knight squad leaders, along with any noteworthy majin who were nobles were amongst them.

Seeing that all who were relevant has arrived, Ruminas gave a short opening address, and declared the start of the conference.

And so, the meet begins.

Shion spoke first, speaking of Rimuru's predictions.

Then the movements of the angel armies, and the situations of the other areas.

Finally, finishing with Dagruel's movements, and what was predicted to be their goal.

「――no way.... If Demon Lord Dagruel is making his move, we are going to end up getting pincered from both the skies and on land.

As we have nothing to fall back upon, if we fall here the central countries will definitely fall shortly after!」

The alarmed Arnoud anxiously spoke out.
