Chapter 69: The Calamity God Returns - II
The Armed Nation of Dwargon,
Main Castle,
Gazel Dwargo POV,
Gazel had just recieved a report about the invasion of the Great Forest of Jura by Falmuth and he was slightly angered that someone had waged war on his junior, or rather a country he officially recognized was labelled as a false and dangerous nation. On top of that Ruberios was aiding them in that endeavor, therefore he as a King was angry and agitated, this was blatant disrespect!
The pegasus knight who had delivered the news was still kneeling, "Get ready, we're moving!" he ordered and stood up, if they had valid reason for invasion he wouldn't be able to move this quickly but they didn't it was obvious this was something else, so he ordered his forces right now. But that wasn't the end of it.
An old woman walked in and kneeled, "Gazel, the Calamity Lord is moving!" she told him hurriedly making Gazel go wide eyed, knowledge of that Demon Lord was passed down in their country just in case he became a threat. They had the largest amount of information because the battle took place right at their borders, hell the sounds of that battle rang out throughout the continent.
The fact that the damage had been contained to Falmuth's borders was one of the greatest mysteries of their time! "He is?" Gazel asked still shocked, the Slumbering Demon Lord as a God had once more started moving. In other words, they were pretty fucked if he was seeking conquest and by how things were going he was doing just that.
He recieved a nod in response, "I still can't believe it, but his forces number in the hundreds of thousands." she continued, she may be the head mage but this was too much. She was shocked by what was happening Demon Lords don't move like without reason, "Furthermore, he's headed to Falmuth." she continued with her report.
"What about the Western Council?!" Gazel asked hurriedly, those greedy fools would've definitely tried something by now. "W-Well they tried to stop him, but the entire force was wiped off the face of the Earth! What's left behind is a gaping crater in the ground!" she knew the threat True Demon Lords posed but this information was too shocking.
Gazel fell back into his seat, the Western Council maybe idiotic but their Magisters were no joke those guys were Majin and strong ones, if he decimated those then that said a lot about him. "What about his attitude then?" he asked, if he was someone that could be talked to then they could work something out.
"H-He told them one thing, move or be removed." she said, they were in a lot of trouble if he set his sights on Dwargon and with an army that big, it was obvious he was out for conquest. "The only Demon Lord without territory huh? Does he plan to make this place his?" that was actually quite probable after all All Demon Lords had gigantic territories and if he was back then he would want his own, that was just how they were.
He sighed, "This is very bad." but he was a King, he wasn't about to panic. He had a duty to his people! Standing up he swung his arm, "Contact Sarion and our other allies! My junior is in trouble but this takes precedence, dispatch a unit for him!" he ordered, they were going to struggle as much as they could before they lost! Though he was fully aware that Galahad was classified among those that required quote, "An alliance between the all nations of the world if they wanted to even stand a chance against them."
He walked off to call a meeting, what had they done to warrant this?

Sorcerer's Kingdom Sarion,
Main Castle,
Queen Elmesia El-Ru Sarion POV,
Elmesia was a queen, and she had been a queen for more than 2000 years ruling over her nation as she deemed fit. Though because she was an elf she didn't age and still looked to be in her 20s, but that isn't important, "So he's back?" she asked the man kneeling in front of her.
After that time she met him a thousand and a few hundred years ago Galahad had gone completely off the radar, as for how she met him? Well she had let's just a say a childhood crush on him from the time he was hailed as a Hero that simply developed further after her 300 year long wish to meet him. Though Galahad himself was unaware of that, he was no dense protagonist mind you just that the Queen had a quirk.
She was a tsundere who messed up everything she wanted to say, well she did gift him a bow though. She deserves praise for her courage to walk up to him and do it herself! Yes she's the queen, your opinion on the matter doesn't matter. "That's great~." she remarked looking like she was out of it.
"My queen, isn't it time you outgrow it?" Erald asked her respectfully, he was below her in ranking but he was her uncle so he could do this without reprecussions. She folded her arms and looked away, "No!" she wasn't doing that, nobody gets to order her around. Erald sighed and looked at her, "He wants war this time."
Elmesia looked at him confused, "Why should I care about that?" she asked, that came out wrong, "What I mean is has he asked me for help?" she asked a bit hopeful, after all it had been more than a millennium since she last saw him. Erald tilted his head confused, "Why would he do that?" it's not like their help would mean much.
Elmesia took a few seconds processing that before she threw her pillow at him, "Are you saying he doesn't want to meet me?! Wait-" she puffed her cheeks as she blushed and looked away, "Idiot!" fine, she doesn't care then! Erald facepalmed, "No we haven't recieved any communications from him, maybe they'll come in later." he stood up and handed back the pillow to her.
If only she could have that queen like dignity everywhere, in the public she's the most dignified person you could meet acting like an Onee-san type but when she's in private this happens, she becomes a childish tsundere! Her appearance turned more dignified as she stood up, his movement had many political implications as well so they needed to figure those out.
"Erald, tell me their predicted trajectory and numbers. I doubt he aims to attack us." in other words she was worried about having to go to war with him but a ruler never gives out their true opinion! That's it! Erald slightly chuckled, there it is the attidtude of a Sovereign and began giving his report.
"Hmm, he's headed to Falmuth, I wonder why? Though little Gazel may ask me for help, has Leon said anything about this?" she asked after hearing the report, if a force of 800,000 was moving then the conquest should last for a while. Dwargon was their ally so if they come under attack, they would ask her for help but at that time she would rather choose to be passive. Crush or not, fucking with a Demon Lord is something only another Demon Lord could and would do, no one had the guts to move against them.

Kingdom of Blumund,
Borders,
Fuse POV,
Fuse is a very shrewd man who leads the Free Guild in this country and possesses a spy network, furthermore he works directly under the King and that very King decided to ally with Rimuru after claiming him an existence on par with a True Dragon. For Fuse that was a foolish action but he was just a subordinate and so he obeyed.
They were headed to aid that very ally as they were at war with another nation, Falmuth had invaded the Jura Tempest Federation! So he gathered any adventurers he could and hurried over but then what was this?! He ripped up the letter and threw it away, that aid effort turned into a request for help!
"I don't get payed enough for this shit." he said sighing, the Calamity Lord was on the warpath. He had decimated the forces of the Western Council, well what they could muster and was on his way to Falmuth, for that he would pass directly through Blumund and if they treid to resist lay waste to their country so tthey needed some way of stopping him if it came to that.
He needed to ask Rimuru for help with this, help in dealing with the Calamity Lord Galahad. "Why am I right?!" he shouted in protest. He long suspected that the Calamity Lord Galahad was the one living in Tempest, now that a detailed description of him came in that was confirmed. It really was the harmless and friendly looking guy living in a mansion on Tempest's outskirts. He laughed dryly, "Not so harmless now, is he?"
But he also knew that Rimuru was completely unaware of that fact, his reaction would certainly be something to see. They moved immediately because this time around the threat was much greater. Why? Well the Ten Great Saints themselves were leading the charge on Tempest, their leader was the feared Hinata Sakuguchi herself, the right hand of God. In other words, they were pretty fucked, the safest bet would be the Calamity Lord not attacking them because Rimuru would be too busy with Hinata and the others.
