Careful Reincarnation Chat Group

I was watching everyone's work and taking a break when someone contacted me through "SiMiNet".

(What's wrong? Have you got the information yet?)

(No, I found a group of people fighting.)

(What? Gabil’s gang?)

No, not them. One of them consists of only one person. He seems to be the entourage of the lizardman leader. The other is an orc army, a high-ranking species, with a group of subordinates. Fifty in total—

(The leader's bodyguard...? Just one person?)

(Yes. It looks like the fight just started, but the result is obvious. It seems that the high-ranking species wants to show off its strength and is teasing the lizardman alone. What should I do?)

(Do you have the ability to defeat that high-level species and his subordinates?)

(It’s a small matter——)

As expected of Souei. Such confidence.

Let's just believe what Souei says. Now, what should we do with that lizardman...

It would be unkind of him to stand by and watch someone die without helping. However, the orc army wanted to demonstrate its strength, and now was a good opportunity to investigate its abilities.

Fortunately, the ability of "Missing Network" is very convenient, and the images that Souei sees will also be transmitted to me.

Unfortunately, unlike me, Souei can't activate the "Missing Network" 24 hours a day. He needs to rest every once in a while.

It wasn't just Souei; everyone else was the same. They could receive messages, but sending them was conditional. So, I'm the weird one, the one with unlimited connections.

If the distance wasn't so far, at least I could send a message via "Missing Net"... It's no use talking about this now.

(Listen, you have to observe as much as possible. Then send me the information. This is not good for the lizard man, but we have to let him fight alone for a while. Basically, if his life is in danger, you can help him.)

(Yes, sir!)

As soon as I received the order, I cut off the "Missing Network".

Things didn't seem simple. Otherwise, a lizardman wouldn't appear alone in a place like that.

It's a rare opportunity to take a break and do a survey, but it seems I don't have the time now.

I gathered everyone together and explained the whole situation to them.

"Everyone, let's interrupt camping. Something seems to be wrong."

After hearing what I said, everyone put on a serious expression.

"So, are you going to join the battle right away?"

"Let me see. There are about fifty enemies. You all will form groups of two, each taking on one enemy. Listen carefully, the Orc King can absorb the energy of the enemies eaten by the minions. Don't force yourself, and run away if you see something wrong. Do you understand?"

"""yes!"""

Everyone, led by Gobda, responded in unison.

"Very good. Then check the position with Souei and go over to encircle the enemy. Once the encirclement is complete, immediately begin the annihilation operation. I say again, don't try to be brave!"

"Rimuru-sama, aren't you worrying too much? In my opinion, these guys are quite capable. Besides, we are accompanying them, so you can rest assured."

"Really? Then I'll leave it to you. Everyone, get moving."

"I understand! Then—"

Benimaru came forward to reassure me. Then he followed my orders and dispatched his troops.

After watching Benimaru, Haku, Gobda and the others go away, Shion and I also started to move.

I'll leave the rest of the scum to Benimaru and the others. I'm sure I'll be dealing with the higher-level species. Trying to gather as much intelligence as possible about the enemy will also have a positive impact on future battles.

With Souei there, and Shion accompanying us, it shouldn't be that easy to lose.

I rode on Ranga and rushed towards Souei.

When we reached Souei, he had just leaped from a tree and caught the pig-headed general's sword. He happened to be a dual-wielder, each holding a massive half-moon sword. It looked like an enlarged meat cleaver, curved like a curved sword, with a blade so thick it looked like it could cleave bone.

His hands are unusually long, making it difficult to calculate his attack range.

The enemy and Souei only fought for a short while, but his movements seemed to be very flexible, making him a very difficult opponent.

It should be like this...but in my opinion it's not so good.

If you think about it carefully, you can't dodge Bai Lao's sword by instinct. Compared with his sword, the movements visible to the naked eye are very docile.

"Hehehe, who are you guys? Did you come all the way here just to give food to a pig-headed general like me?"

The guy had long arms and looked like a mix of pig, wild boar, and human. He looked at me and said, "This guy is probably a high-level species—the Pig-Headed General."

"You are so rude to Lord Rimuru, you little brat!"

Murderous intent began to appear in Shiyuan's eyes, and she glared at the Pig-Headed General with a murderous look.

"Ah, you are——"

Chapter 356 Chapter 40: Ready to Go Too Unsolvable

Looking towards the source of the sound, I saw a lizardman squatting on the ground, looking up at me.

She was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, nearly dying.

It was me who originally told Souei to observe as much as possible, but he actually didn't intervene until the person was dead. Souei was just following orders, but I really wish he had saved the lizardman sooner.

Things turned out like this, making me look like a villain. In order to avoid being seen as a villain by others, I decided to show off a little.

"Drink this."

After saying that, I gave the lizard man a recovery potion.

She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately drank the medicine in one gulp. The effect was remarkable, and all her injuries healed in the blink of an eye.

"what!"

How is it possible—"

The Pig-Headed General and the Lizard Man exclaimed at the same time.

Great, I think I'll make a better impression now. It's great to have time to improve my impression before the meeting.

Just as I thought of this, the lizard man started talking rapidly.

"Please, please! Messenger, Messenger's master. Please save my father—save the Lizardman leader and my brother Gabil!"

She knelt down and bowed her head, as if praying, asking us to rescue her family.

"what happened--"

"What happened?" I was about to ask when General Pighead suddenly drew his sword and attacked.

"If you dare to ruin my good deeds, I will eat you first!"

The enemy yelled, swinging his two crescent-shaped swords alternately.

He seemed to want to take advantage of others when they were not prepared, but unfortunately, I had already seen through him with my "magic perception".

I had intended to dodge the attack by jumping slightly backward, but that was wasted time. Shion stood in front of me, swinging a large sword that appeared out of nowhere.

The Pig-Headed General crossed his swords in an instant, trying to block the blow, but was chopped away by Shion's extraordinary strength. She had the additional skill "Super Strength", which gave her superhuman strength even though she was not human, so of course she would chop the Pig-Headed General away.

"You lowly thing. Rimuru-sama is speaking, can't you just listen to him?"

Her beautiful face was filled with anger, and Shion glared at the Pig-headed General fiercely.

"Damn it! Everyone, come on, get these guys—"

General Pighead gave orders to his subordinates, but none of them responded.

No wonder...

"It's done in a few seconds. It's barely enough to kill time."

"Rimuru-sama, these guys are ridiculously weak. It seems pitiful to attack them in pairs."

Benimaru and Gobda came up to me to report.

Following my orders, they surrounded the enemy and wiped them out. Their movements were so fast that I was speechless.

There were a few others following the Pig-Headed General, and they were also chopped down by Old Bai just now.

Now I finally understand. No wonder they say I'm worrying too much.

“Too much to ask for such a thing——!”

The Pig-Headed General was so surprised that he was speechless.

Misfortune then struck.

"Hey, let's get some information out of this guy—"

When my attention was focused on Souei's words, everything came to an end at that moment.

"Go to hell."

A flash of light was released along with the announcement of death.

Immediately afterwards, a huge noise exploded in the area.

The Pig-Headed General was chopped to pieces without leaving a scrap...

"What are you doing... idiot..."

I spoke weakly.

Souei sensed my thoughts and was about to extract some information from General Pighead, but Shion didn't think that way.

"Rimuru-sama, I have done justice and eliminated that idiot!"

Shion reported to me with a smile, looking like she really wanted me to praise her.

His thoughts are all written on his face. Should I praise him or be angry?

"Oh, yes. Next time, try to capture the enemy alive."

"I understand! We need to make him realize how foolish it is to disobey Rimuru-sama, right?"

No, that's not what I meant. Even though she misunderstood, explaining it would be a hassle. Anyway, as long as she's willing to help me capture him alive, that's fine.

After the subordinates finished their work, they wanted to ask General Pighead for some information, but they had to give up.

It seems that this is just a reconnaissance unit composed of third-rate people, and they should not have any decent intelligence.

There's no point thinking too much about something that has no chance of happening.

I immediately adjusted my mood and decided to listen to what the lizard man had to say.

"There are still a few days until the meeting day. Has anything happened?"

After she calmed down, I asked her again.

This time, no one interfered. The lizardman looked back and forth between Souei and me, then his gaze landed on me and he spoke firmly:

"I am the daughter of the Lizardman leader and captain of his personal guard. Before I could form an alliance with you, my brother, Gobil, rebelled and had the leader captured and imprisoned. He planned to fight the Orc army. But my brother underestimated the Orcs. If this continues, we will surely lose to them, and the Lizardmen will be wiped out..."

Having said this, the lizard man suddenly stopped.

After more consideration, he opened his mouth again.

"The leader sent me here to pass on the message, so as not to cause trouble to you allies. But - I still want to beg you to lend a hand!"

Having said this, the lizard man knelt down in front of me.

So, Gabil is the son of the lizardman leader. The lizardman before me is the leader's daughter, and Gabil's sister. Both the leader and this captain of the personal guard seem like wonderful people.

Gabil is the only bad apple. However, if anything happens to the leader, we'll be in trouble too.

Okay, what to do next.

"We haven't formed an alliance yet. The Lizardmen leader believes that outsiders shouldn't be involved in his own wide wall—that's why he sent you here to deliver the message. Is that correct? Then why do you bring this up?"

I raise this question. It sounds rather malicious, but we have no obligation to help the Lizardmen. If we're allies, that's another matter, but for now, it's best to retreat.

I mean, without a name, calling people is really troublesome. Monsters can identify each other through subtle emotional fluctuations, but I'm originally human, so I just find it confusing.

Calling her a lizardwoman or a captain of the guard would be weird.

I accidentally immersed myself in thoughts that were completely unrelated to the topic. The Lizardman Guard Captain had no idea what I was thinking about. He raised his face straight up and looked at me before answering.
