Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 142

I must also name the dolls Ramiris has been mass-producing.

Magical energy has coiled around their demon steel bones, giving birth to something like muscles. Even so, their birth”their completion”is still ways off.

Furthermore, cultivating these monsters in a Cultivation Capsule further increases their strength by 1.5-2 times.

And, of course, the time required for higher monsters is greater than for lesser ones.

If you tried to accelerate the process, you would get an inferior monster, and naught can be done about that.

Of these capsule dolls, we have only finished but a thousand so far.

But time has yet to pass for them to be born.

And we expect them to be high class monsters.

Worst case scenario, they will only be stronger that Gelmudo... so they are a terrifying force.

In other words, we are mass producing A ranked monsters.

In human terms, we are producing monsters equivalent to a Templar Knight.

And that is their force at birth”O! How I long to see how strong they can grow!

Oh, surely you want to know whether a soul could dwell within?

So long as you etch a core into them, it will fill with magic energy.

Thus we are ignoring the point of creating souls for them, and instead giving them a jump-start.

Perhaps they will be mere shells of might but no mind.

Should that happen, we only need to make use of Sarion's possession skills, to have common foot soldiers take control of them.

Ramiris did recommend having Beretta link into them and command this great host, but with his processing power it may prove difficult.

Moreover, Beretta is Ramiris' subordinate.

Can't keep depending on him.

And he also has the responsibility of guarding the Dungeon, which he certainly cannot abandon.

But these points we can fret about when they are complete.

I sigh upon returning to my office.

There are too many things to consider.

The first corps.

Gobuta will be the commander, and Hakurou will advise him.

Affiliated with the first corps are...

”””-Ogre wolves, 100 members. Evolved from the combination of Wolf Riders and Star Wolves. Their battle power is at A rank [EP: 9,000 ~ 9,900] and they will serve as captains of this corps.

”””-Green numbers, 12,000 members. They have been split into a host of 4,000 members, comprising three teams. Their numbers have increased greatly over the past year, so they will be put to good use. The majority of them come as warriors from the many tribes in my domain. Even so, they are B rank [EP: 5,000~6,000] and are a splendid fighting force.

Next, the second corps.

Under direct command of Gerudo, and the primary strength of Tempest.

Affliated with the second corps are...

”””-Yellow Numbers, 2,000 members. These are the High Orcs serving under Gerudo. Individually they are strong B+ rank [EP: 7,500~8,000]. They are also able to unite with Gerudo to become a single shield. We reorganized them into teams and assigned captains.

”””-Orange Number, 35,000 members. Recently "born" high-orcs. They are C ranked. However, only 15,000 will participate in combat with a 20,000 support and engineer corps.

The third corps.

Vice-commander Gabil will lead them, launching air raids upon the enemy.

The affiliated members are

”””-Hiryuu, 100 members. These are, on average, the strongest unit in Tempest. A rank [EP: 9,500~9,900], but coordinate their attacks extremely well. There are some among them who are surpassing A rank as well. Their trump card beingŽBattle Dragon Transformation

”””-Blue Numbers, 3,000 members. Comprised solely of new applicants from the lizardmen. They are only C ranked. But that be not their true strength. Nay, their power lies in their ability to mount the Wyverns and take to the skies. In fact, this division has the ability to completely dominate the air space. Even within Tempest, they are a secret division.

***By the way, Wyvern is a lesser dragon species. These B+ beasts we acquired with the help of Milim.

Standing above all of these are three divisions of absolute power.

With the supreme commander Benimaru at the top.

Benimaru has full control over every force, such that not even I could command them.

But it seems that Raphael-sensei linked thoughts with Benimaru, so it's not like my will is not being carried out.

Benimaru's personal cohort is a group of 100 members of Crimson.

Crimson is a group of A rank monsters focusing on strength and truly possess ridiculous abilities. I attended one of their practice sessions, and while raw power wise they may only be at Gelmudo's level"level does not mean everything. Oh, their current "level" would match the Templar Knights.

The problem is that one's level is determined by how much energy one possesses.

Their strength is basically determined at the moment of birth. And Tempest did attempt to inculcate greater strength.

Of course, in reality, energy does not define your actual strength.

Who can doubt Hakurou's strength despite his little energy?

And the captains of Crimson endured Hakurou's hellish training. They are a very dependable force.

Then there's Souei's information squad.

100 members of Darkness, was it?

To be honest, I only know four of their members. They do specialize in espionage, after all.

Souei said they have zero fighting strength, but I don't believe him. He does carry out assassinations after all.

Souei has sole and exclusive control over them, and few even know of them.

Truth be told, they are kinda frightening, and their name comes up only in rumors.

Oh, and I'll have Souei supervise the Third Corps as well. Information gathering could be done extremely well from the sky you see.

However, Souei can only command if Benimaru issues such an order.

Of course, Souei is not the kind of person to ignore chain of command and issue orders without authorization.

Oh, and you may have noticed: there is not a single group over which I have direct control.

Oh, and I forgot to mention my guard, Shion's Yomigaeri.

These individuals continued training even while suffering mortal wounds, and have reached a rank of B+ [EP: 8,000~8,500].

The most efficient division.

They have developed splendidly since fighting the Templars, and may soon reach A rank.

Though currently the most powerful are the Hiryuu, the Yomigaeri are capable of surpassing them.

As they cannot die, they are perfect for buying time.

And no, I did not choose them as my personal guard; the other members did.
