Perfected Tempest

59. Hinata's Arrival

Bacchus- "I hate this situation we find ourselves in."

Hinata- "So do I Bacchus. It's not a good one for anyone to be in. We are not only out matched but even outnumbered as well."

Just how bad is this situation we find ourselves in? Worse still I can see Shizu near Rimuru as well. Is she a hostage or...... worse.

                           Rimuru's POV

Rimuru- "The crusader forces are close to entering our territory. So I have a plan for everyone to follow along with. I've identified the ones who truly instigated this plot and the rest of the knights should be spared. It will give us an edge in the future negotiations we will have with the church."

Benimaru- "So how many of us do you need for the plan then?" He said after using spacial motion to come back earlier than planned from his trip to the Tengu tribe.

Rimuru- "Well first off Testarossa will continue to deal with the civil war in Falmuth but we shall not call back the goblin riders, Ranga and Gabil and his forces as reinforcements. They are needed to secure our interests in Falmuth so they can't help us."

Benimaru- "So we can't use them in the strategy then."

Shion- "That is fine since my forces have grown stronger with the help of the giant brothers who came to train here."

That is true with them here we should have an easy time with the battle more than before. But since Granbell will be going all out in this fight I need more help than last time as well.

Diablo- "Yes and with the black numbers help it should be a simple matter to deal with. My lord shouldn't even need to worry about such trash appearing near his lands."

Everyone then nodded their heads in agreement at his words.

Rimuru- "The forces we have noticed are not what concerns me but what we don't know about does. From what I know we have at least seven of the ten saints making an appearance along with the seven days as well. That is fourteen individuals at the strength of a demon lord seed. Hinata is even closer to the level of a true demon lord so you could say the others might be as strong as that possibly too."

I of course no they aren't but I can't have them being too confident in themselves. Being cautious will help them in the long run.

Benimaru- "Hmmm. Well we could also add the newest forces as well. They have been itching for a fight to take part in since earlier."

Rimuru- "Sure go ahead. I am curious to see what they can do as well. For our executives we'll have Ultima, Shion, Carrera, Benimaru, Souie, Noble and his team, and all four dragon masters." (The named dragons from before.)

It helps that Ramiris got her subordinate dragons with the help of my dragon subordinates so she can have more protection as well. Later I'll help her name her dragons as well. It also helps that the dragon floors now have multiple dragons living there as well. I'm sure the spirits and angels want to go out and fight but they need to stay hidden as a secret force to unleash on Feldway when he tries to invade the labyrinth during the eastern empire war. They'll be able to put his plans to a complete halt as soon as he tries it.

Benimaru- "What of the spirits and angels lord Rimuru?"

Rimuru- "They are to remain hidden until the time is right. They will continue to be on stand by for now. We can always call for them if we need them later."

Benimaru- "Understood.

Rimuru- "Then if there are no more questions we shall be heading out to intercept the crusaders."
