Time passed.
Three days had passed in a flash since Rimuru recruited William Adolf and his group.
In those three days, Rimuru witnessed what was called the "tempest speed."
The monsters were commanded by William and the others, splitting into groups for logging, cultivating soil, and quarrying, with brute strength, magic, and swordsmanship used in rotation.
The town had already begun to take shape!
The only thing lacking, and currently the most lacking, should be various living supplies.
However, for the numerous monsters, these were not a problem at all.
After all, most of the monsters were still living off raw meat before Rimuru bestowed names upon them.
Inside the temporarily erected tent.
"Reporting to My Lord Rimuru, after the scout team's investigation, traces of the Orc Tribe army have been discovered three hundred miles from the town."
"The Lizardmen have already begun sporadic skirmishes with the Orc Tribe. It hasn't affected us yet, so it seems the Lizardmen are attracting the main firepower!"
Along with the scout team's report, the situation regarding the Orc Tribe's invasion quickly appeared one by one on the "sand table."
The monsters were greatly enlightened, witnessing human wisdom for the first time.
This sand table was, of course, William Adolf's masterpiece.
It had to be said, this guy, as a Reincarnator, plus years of refinement from an ancient family, had a head full of practical knowledge, not just women.
The Orc lord's army was already this close to the town?!
At their current level, they naturally weren't afraid of the Orc lord anymore.
Revenge for revenge, merits for merits, almost every monster's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
They were just waiting for Rimuru's command!
Unlike the original work, Rimuru's town had just been newly built.
Naturally, there was no talk of influence, let alone waiting for Gabiru to come knocking on their door, as in the original work!
Logically, Rimuru would gain the most benefit by sending troops when the Lizardmen were about to collapse.
Not only would it make the Lizardmen grateful, but it could also bring the Lizardmen's territory under their rule.
But since Rimuru had accepted Treyni's request to subjugate the Orc lord, Rimuru naturally wouldn't drag His feet and ruin His reputation!
"Souei, you and the scout team continue to monitor the movements of the Orc Tribe and report back at any time."
"Yes!"
"Benimaru, you organize the army and be ready to deploy at any time."
"Understood!"
Upon receiving Rimuru's military order, Souei and Benimaru immediately accepted the command and departed.
And at this moment, William Adolf kept winking at Rimuru, looking extremely anxious!
Rimuru: "William, do you have any suggestions to add?"
William Adolf said devoutly and solemnly, "I, William Adolf, ignored fate and defied the heavens, daring to offend My Lord Rimuru's holy presence. I know my sins are profound. Now I only hope that My Lord Rimuru can give this sinful subordinate a chance to atone for my sins by rendering meritorious service!"
Shion: "…"
Shuna: "…"
Hakurou: "…"
Rigurdo: "…"
Rimuru was also speechless and said, "Speak like a human!"
William Adolf said devoutly, "I am fond of the Lizardmen Princess. Please, My Lord Rimuru, give me a chance to be a hero saving a beauty."
Everyone broke into a sweat: "…"
They thought you genuinely wanted to atone for your sins by rendering meritorious service. So, this blockhead was just lusting after the Lizardmen Princess.
However, the Lizardmen Princess, the Lizardmen, William Adolf, humans…
Rimuru's mind immediately conjured the appearance of the Lizardmen before they were given names.
It had to be said, William really had a heavy taste!
Rimuru said, sweating, "How can different races fall in love?"
William Adolf said righteously, "In front of true love, race is not a problem. Besides, isn't there My Lord Rimuru's naming!"
Rimuru: "…"
I thought you really wanted to be a Lizard Knight. So that was your intention!
Rimuru remembered that the Lizardmen Princess seemed to have been named "Souka" by Rimuru later.
After being named, she transformed into a very cute moe girl.
However, according to the historical progression, Souka later seemed to become Souei's wife, didn't she!
Was this guy planning to poach Souei's wife?
"Have you met the Lizardmen Princess before?"
William Adolf: "Not yet!"
Everyone: "…"
Rimuru was also speechless, thinking there was truly cross-species love here!
Lecher!
Rimuru's telepathy echoed in William's mind.
"William, it's not cool for you to poach someone's wife like this. Souka is Souei's future wife, isn't she! Don't bully a friend's wife!"
William's telepathy also immediately resonated in Rimuru's mind.
"My Lord Rimuru, alas, you are like a full man who doesn't understand the hunger of an empty one. You already have Shion, Shuna, snow, and Kocho by your side, can't you let me pursue my future happiness? We are both Reincarnators, compared to you, I'm truly miserable…"
Next was William's great lament.
Including his pet dog, which was also male…
Rimuru felt sympathy, indeed so miserable, he could be the champion of the "most miserable person" contest!
"Alright, I agree in principle. But you can't use force!"
"How could I? Am I, William Adolf, that kind of person? However, I beg My Lord Rimuru to agree to one condition for me, I'm kneeling before you!"
"Name Souka? I would do that even if you didn't say it. After all, if my subordinates are too weak, I lose face!"
"No, not that!"
"???"
"I want My Lord Rimuru to promise me that you won't compete with me this time. I was here first!"
Rimuru wiped His sweat.
Sure enough, being single for too long turns one into a pervert!
Even a Lizard looks beautiful to him, and he won't allow others to compete with him!
"Alright, alright, I promise you!"
"Yosh, since My Lord Rimuru won't compete with me, then this is a sure win. Monster girl, here I come!"
The meeting had not yet completely ended.
William Adolf was already impatient.
At this time, William Adolf was wearing a uniform haori, with a headband tied around his head, on which was written "Stepping on the Moon, Leaving Fragrance."
It was incredibly ceremonial!
William put his index finger in his mouth, licked it, then put it in the air, sensed it, and said.
"Wind speed 45m/s, air humidity 85%, temperature 26℃. Initial velocity is the most effort-saving and efficient!"
Bang!
The ground beneath William's feet suddenly cracked, revealing dense spiderweb-like fissures, and then he broke the sound barrier, completely disappearing from the spot.
Only a sweeping gust of wind remained, making everyone's clothes flutter wildly.
Everyone broke into a cold sweat.
William Adolf was truly a character!
A majestic Reincarnator, to be reduced to William Adolf's level, was truly pitiful.
Forget it, if I can help this time, I'll help him out!
True love has always been hard to keep, only the path of righteousness wins people's hearts.
Saving a beauty, though old-fashioned, is indeed an effective way to win a woman's heart.
Rimuru intended to be a bit lazy and leave the opportunity to perform to William Adolf.
With a call of "Dinner time!", the entire town became bustling again.
Especially with the various refined seasonings provided by Rimuru, which elevated the taste of these delicacies by several levels.
Having food, and good food at that, the monsters were practically celebrating a festival.
Shion and Shuna even pulled Rimuru to dance, happily!
Evening.
The setting sun was like blood.
A shadow flickered, and a figure suddenly appeared.
Who else could it be but Souei?
"My Lord Rimuru, the situation has changed. The great war between the Lizardmen and the Orc Tribe has begun, and the battle is very unfavorable for the Lizardmen!"
Rimuru was surprised, "What situation?"
Souei: "It seems a coup d'état occurred within the Lizardmen. The newly appointed young Master actively engaged in a head-on confrontation with the Orc Tribe."
Rimuru rubbed His forehead, She remembered.
The young Master of the Lizardmen, wasn't that the idiot Gabiru?
"Calm down, William Adolf has already rushed over. With him there, it's not a big problem!"
"Yes."
Souei hesitated to speak.
"What? Is there anything else to report?"
Souei: "My Lord Rimuru, during my reconnaissance, I discovered a person wearing white clothes and a mask…"
Was it the mastermind Gelmud?
Rimuru had once mentioned this guy to Souei and other high-ranking officials.
To Him, he was nothing.
But to Her ordinary subordinates, he was indeed a threat and needed attention.
"Gelmud won't amount to much. Souei, just keep an eye on him!"
Souei shook his head, "My Lord Rimuru, according to your information, Gelmud should be a sharp-nosed monster, a male. But the one I saw was a female…"
"What? A masked female?" Rimuru was greatly surprised.
In the World of Slime, there were indeed several who liked to wear masks.
The Moderate Clown Troupe also had everyone wearing masks.
But one of those masks was passed down through generations, and it was also cyclical.
With a wave of His hand, a mask appeared in Rimuru's hand.
"How does it compare to this mask?"
Souei was surprised, it was the first time he had seen his Master so flustered.
"It was a bit far, I couldn't see clearly. But the mask looked somewhat similar!"
Rimuru directly stood up, "Where did you see her?"
"Just not far from the Lizardmen village. I observed her for a while; her motive was unclear, but she didn't seem to be taking advantage of the situation."
Rimuru extended His hand, and the moon star ring immediately detached from His thumb, transforming into an ice pick.
"Benimaru, Souei, Shuna, Shion, Hakurou, Rigurdo, Gobta, come with me to battle!"
The monsters named by Rimuru were all incredibly surprised.
This was the first time they had seen Rimuru reveal a weapon!
So, their Master's ring was His weapon?
My Lord Rimuru, how many secrets did She still have?!
"Yes!"
The monsters spoke in unison, more than willing.
Having devoured the Space Stone and possessing the skill Teleportation Gate, Rimuru could instantly teleport with all His subordinates.
But if it was truly that person, Rimuru hoped to make an entrance in this way!
Although this method was not actually suitable for short-distance teleportation.
But She liked it!
Rimuru put the mask on His face.
"Boom!"
A Bifrost Bridge was opened by Rimuru, and Rimuru immediately disappeared from the spot with Benimaru and the others.
Seeing Rimuru, Benimaru, and the others completely disappear after a flash of rainbow light, the monsters were terrified.
Who exactly was their Master?
Was there anything She couldn't do?
