Tempest Capital,
Main Head Quarters,
Rimuru POV,
Rimuru was shocked! He was shocked more than anyone could imagine, apparently everyone else in this room shared that sentiment as most of them went slack jawed. "Wa-Wait Wait wait wait! Did I hear you right?!" he asked again shocked beyond measure, he refused to believe that. Galahad was an extremely competent lazy prick that refused to work Rimuru knew and loved the guy for that but him having that much power was shocking and completely unexpected, much less the fact that he was someone on par with the likes of Milim! (A/N: Not that kind of love, any guy should be able to get this or girls too but I don't know so sorry if I offended the female readers, though I doubt there are any)
"Indeed you did little slime. My master has ordered me here, and that master IS the man you know, the Calamity Lord Galahad." she said smirking as she stood up and took a position directly behind Shizue, while she didn't know why this brat deserved that she was going to obey his orders. Rimuru was still surprised before he started recollecting himself and laughed dryly, "Hahaha, don't know what to think anymore." Milim was called the Destroyer that was a title that would scare you! But then that friendly guy is feared as the Lord of Calamity? Hell that's even more menacing!
Great Sage sighed, like she hadn't been saying that ever since he met them.
Shion tilted her head confused, "Didn't you already know this?" no one is idiotic enough to take the name of a Demon Lord and learning from Rimuru, appearances can be very decieving. Benimaru facepalmed, she figured it out! The musclehead figured it out but they couldn't! "Is the world ending?" he wondered out loud earning several looks.
"No wonder you killed Charybdis." Shuna remarked looking at Testarossa, they should have gotten the hint when that happened but Galahad's harmless and homely aura completely negated any suspicion. Testarossa folded her hands and smiled smugly, she definitely liked being praised!
Gobta had just gotten over his shock of the news, "Wait that weak looking guy?!" he shouted but in the next instant he was kicked so hard it sounded like a cannon had been fired and was flung out of the room leaving behind a Gobta shaped hole in the wall. Testarossa gave a close eyed smiled, "My master may permit it but I don't." Galahad was never bothered by insults thrown at him unless they targeted one of his friends but she didn't like it, if it wasn't for the order to not cause unnecessary trouble by harming this city's denizens she would have ripped his head clean off his shoulders.
Everyone closed their eyes, "Rest in peace, Gobta." Rimuru said closing his eyes, he had this one coming though he expected this from Gabiru. "So he sent you to help?" Rimuru asked a bit hopeful, any help would be appreciated and from Testarossa no less. Testarossa shook her head, "Not me specifically, Carrera." she didn't understand why though, she tilted her head confused.
Everyone looked between her and the wall, yeah it was obvious why she wasn't the one. Rimuru smiled, "Thank you, Galahad." he said gratefully, these maids were stronger than even Rimuru himself according to Great Sage so they were definitely a great help. Testarossa however interrupted, "Well there's this second part too; Don't thank me fool! I-It's for my daughter." she said imitating prideful Galahad's voice making Shizue giggle, she had seen that side several times.
Rimuru leaned back, "A tsundere?" that guy was supposed to be a kuudere not a goddamn tsundere! He sighed, looked like Galahad had several problems of his own though he did appreciate the fact that his friend chose to actively help him out. "We don't need that! We can definitely handle this on our own right Lord Rimuru?" Shion asked pumping her fist, they could definitely beat them back.
Rimuru looked at her crestfallen, what kind of idiocy was this?! But he was saved by Testarossa, "No little Oni you can not, surely you've heard of the Ten Great Saints right?" she said with her arms folded, they were weak yes but these people were no match for them. Benimaru's eyes widened before he clenched his fist in frustration, "It pains me to admit this but Lord Rimuru, she is correct." at times like these being arrogant was stupid if the Ten Great Saints were here then they were in a lot of danger.
Rimuru looked at him and nodded, if Benimaru said that then it was believable. "In the worst case we must be ready to evacuate the people." Geld voiced his opinion, at these times it was necessary to prioritize the populace. Testarossa laughed gracefully and waved her hands, "Fufufu, there's no need for that. That brute is going there after all." That little shit was a True Demon Lord, it happened when Galahad went to the Empire in order to make Testarossa herself submit.
Expected considering Carrera wiped a force numbering in the hundreds of thousand off the face of the World, she now had an Ultimate Skill, Extinction Lord Abaddon. Yeah, the other maids were behind her in that department but they would soon catch up! Though it meant one thing, her enemies were pretty much already dead since she could utilize the endless abyss with it, naturally the battle junkie already mastered it too.
"Well that's appreciated." Rimuru said and stood up, all plans were already made now they just had to face Falmuth and hopefully they would have no casualties either. "But still the Calamity Lord huh?" he muttered out and continued walking, they needed to talk though Rimuru wasn't going to do anything to him he was still his friend after all!
Also Wait! Had they been calling a Demon Lord weak?! Well they fucked up big time if he was the arrogant type.

At The Battlefield,
Gobta POV,
This was supposed to be a battle right? RIGHT? Then what was this?! He looked to the grinning maniac who had blood splattered across herself as mountains of bodies lay behind her, some were even eaten from various places! He looked at Rimuru who was sitting on the ground a bit depressed as Shizue patted his head.
Well Rimuru was slightly depressed, this was supposed to be a life threatening battle! But then that maid no monster landed in the middle of the battlefield. That alone made many people faint but was that enough? No it wasn't, a group of soldiers circled her to have some 'fun' with the harmless blonde but in the next instant all they saw were fountains of blood as numerous headless corpses fell to that ground.
After that hell broke lose, they didn't even get the chance to fight. Carrera bolted through enemy lines grinning as heads flew in her all directions, so the enemy judged her strength was purely physical which was a mistake. They pulled back and bombarded her with magic that didn't even scratch her, then she returned the attack.
A gigantic black mouth opened up and chomped down on thousands of soldiers not leaving even bodies behind. Rimuru looked at the King who was passed out on the ground near him, yeah that guy was thrown here by her as she shouted, "You take care of the political jargon. I'm too dumb for that shit and I don't wanna trouble my Master."
Apparently his people shared that sentiment, most of them were now simply sitting on the ground probably still processing what the 'maid' was capable of doing. "Wait...what does that say about Galahad then?" he wondered out loud making many go wide eyed, that would imply he was stronger than them if he actually subdued them. Rimuru had an 'oh' look on his face, that nuke to the face made a lot more sense now.
Currently Carrera was standing in front of the Ten Great Saints or to be exact nine of them, one ran away when the battle started. That one was 'Raging Sea Glenda' well she was a former mercenary who always prioritized her own life so it made sense for her to do that though no one else knew that fact. Carrera licked her lips, always save the best for last. She raised her hand provokingly, "Well have at it ya lil shits!" she mocked them smirking however contrary to what Rimuru thought would happen they stayed back.
Only one short white haired boy came forward, this boy was Saare. The previous head of the armed forces and someone who thought Demon Lords were 'weak' and he would quote, "Crush them." beneath his feet. He smirked and charged forward, "Regret this for the rest of your pathetic life, demon!" he shouted except all his dreams were shattered when Carrera grabbed his throat. Several veins were popping out on her forehead as her lips twitched, "Did ya just fuckin' underestimate me twerp?" she hated being underestimated!
Without waiting for his answer she kicked him in the guts sending him crashing in to a nearby mountain, he fainted from the attack. "Tch. Fuckhead." she had to leave these guys alive as it would go against her Master's deal with Luminous, her Master took the highest priority! She was charged at again, Bacchus of the Earth a man who utilized a mace and his tremendous strength slammed his mace into her head, or he thought he did, she grabbed the mace and kneed him in the stomach making him fall over.
Arnaud the second strongest of the Ten Great Saints slashed at her but she bit the sword in two and kicked him in the head sending him flying away. She ducked under a punch and threw an uppercut directly to the jaw sending Grigori the Boulder flying directly up, "What a big shithead." she commented seeing his body land somewhere near her, this guy was supposed to have an impenetrable defense!
