Allies in the Shadows

Chapters 66 - 70

As the looming threat sharpens once more, unexpected new allies join Tempest's ranks, considerably strengthening the nation's military and strategic capabilities. These reinforcements, with their varied motivations and powers, enrich the already eclectic community gathered around Rimuru, illustrating the nation's ability to unite very diverse forces around a common cause. Defensive preparations intensify as the warning signs of a major conflict keep multiplying, forcing Rimuru to rethink the organization of his troops. This transitional volume carefully sets the stage for the second decisive clash with Falmuth that is inexorably approaching.
