Galahad POV,
"Quite slow." Galahad muttered resting his head in his palm, he was sitting in the carriage though the one in control was the prideful side. This army was massive but because of that it was quite slow moving, right now they were nearing Blumund's borders through which they would enter Falmuth. [Cringey fuckhead.] Galahad started laughing all of a sudden, "You realize I'm you, you idiot." they were two sides of the same coin, calling him a cringey fuckhead was equivalent to calling himself one and apparently lazy him agreed as he went quiet after that.
The woman trembled and asked, "W-What happened, my Lord? I apologize for any inconveniences." she said bowing her head, they couldn't have him being uncomfortable here. Galahad waved his hand dismissing it, "It's fine." they were under him so they deserved at least some recognition and praise. He looked out the window as his armies came into view, and it truly was a magnificent sight.
"Name yourself girl." he said glancing at her, before returning his gaze to the outside. "O-Olivia." she said meekly, what? It wasn't her fault! You don't just stumble across someone you worship! He slightly chuckled at the stuttering woman, "What do you do?" he was bored! Therefore he was making small talk, but his voice screamed authority and pride so definitely not someone you can have a casual talk with.
"Y-Yes! I lead the magical bombardment corps!" she replied saluting although she almost fell over doing that. Galahad chuckled amused, "Quite young for a mage no?" he asked, nuclear magic requires a lot of time to master, and most of the mages using it are very old. "O-Oh I'm a majin." she replied a bit embarrased, no woman likes being called old!
"You think I can't see that?" he asked looking outside, of course he could! He could sense every single thing within a 500 mile radius casually, his lazy side was just too lazy for it! She bowed, "I'm s-so-!" she tried to bow but her head hit the seat, she got back up rubbing it as Galahad chuckled, yes this was good way to get rid of his boredom! Mizari glared at the woman before sighing, why doesn't that happen with her?
Galahad of course noted it, "Don't be foolish, everyone has their quirks! As such there are certain things which can only be done with you but not her and vice versa." of course he couldn't have one of his subordinates being sad now could he? Especially since he had a maid fetish! Just that coward never admitted it but he doesn't care about that, everyone should have a maid fetish! [Ah yes self deprecation...I know...it well]
He laughed again, his own point was used against him. He takes that statement back lazy him has guts! He utilized his his Clairvoyance to check on his on how Tempest was doing and apparently they were having a War Council about the current invasion. "Too weak." he muttered out, Rimuru was going to lose this one.
The Ten Great Saints may be weaklings but together and especially under Hinata herself they were more than enough to kill Rimuru as well as his subordinates, but there comes in the problem. If they dared to raise even a finger on his daughter he was going to remove all of them from existences. In other words, they fucked up big time if they tried to do something to Shizue.

Tempest Capital Outskirts,
Galahad's Mansion,
Three maids were currently sitting on a couch in a large room while looking at a screen amused, one was sitting gracefully, one was resting her head on one of the arms and eating chips while another had her legs on the table and pizza in her hands. They were Testarossa, Carrera and Rein respectively.
They were currently watching the march of Galahad's army, of course this magic was made by Galahad and taught to them for cases where strategy and monitoring was necessary. He may be lazy but he was also very cautious, of course it being used as a T.V. definitely wasn't what he made it for.
Carrera ate a bunch of chip, "Do ya remember that light thing?" she was referring to the cool pillar of light that fell from the sky and decimated an army of thousands. "Course I do, who the hell do you think I am?" Rein answered waving her hands, while she may appear to be a reserved and 'cool' beauty when in public. She was actually a delinquent with a very lazy personality.
"Ya think we could take that?" Carrera asked, she definitely wasn't confident about tanking it completely unscathed BUT she was willing to try. "Nah, I don't have enough confidence to try that." Rein replied waving her hand, she liked to be the one winning and not the one getting beaten black and blue so she definitely wasn't going to even try to take that head on.
Testarossa simply stayed silent, she was curiously reading the paper in her hands before she teleported away without saying anything to the other two. "Where do ya think she's going? Carrera asked looking at the empty spot left behind by Testarossa. "Ya think I give a fuck?" Rein replied lazily and watched on, Testarossa can do whatever the hell she wants though Rein would prefer the bitch burned in Hell.

Tempest Capital City,
Main Head Quarters,
Rimuru POV,
Rimuru sat down with a sigh, he had been careful not to offend anyone and had built up his nation. Even developing friendly relationships with a super power to ensure their security but all that proved useless since they were now being invaded. He couldn't understand the reason for it, simply attacking them because they were a nation of monsters? That was bullshit!
It was a totally bullshit reason which according to Great Sage was simply a cover to invade and take over the economically advantageous locatin Tempest was in. Dwargon couldn't directly interfere either because of Ruberios' backing. Declaring war on Falmuth was akin to declaring war on Ruberios for now.
They were currently enclosed in a barrier and had been notified that the invasion would begin in a week's time. They couldn't directly march in because that went against International War Laws and would earn them animosity even if they won. So Rimuru was utilizing that time to plan. They did manage to come up with a good plan, he would deploy a large scale spell after destroying the barrier and hopefully injure enough people, following that they would directly charge in aiming to cause as much as damage as possible before retreating meanwhile Souei and his men would go after enemy supply lines.
Thier goal was to have as small an amount of casualties as possible, hopefully none. He clenched his fist in anger, that didn't mean he had to like it! His clenched fist was grasped by Shizue with both her hands. He looked at her confused as she smiled, "Don't worry, I'll help you. Hopefully he will too." she said, yes it was relying on Galahad but that was what he himself wanted so it was fine. It was fine just for once right?
Rimuru tilted his head confused, Galahad was still in his mansion what was he going to do in this situation? Possibly leave, after all he didn't have much power from what they could see. Benimaru raised his voice, "Do you mean Lord Galahad?" he asked her recieving a nod in response. "But isn't he weaker than Lord Rimuru?" Galahad had shown no prowess what so ever up until now and apart from his name there was nothing to show his power.
Hakurou joined in, "I apologize for any rudeness but Lord Galahad is possibly stronger than Lord Rimuru." he was someone who had face him, that man was holding back and a lot. Hakurou was sure Galahad could have ended that match any time. His words made everyone look at him in a mix of surprise and shock, that person was like a friendly neighbor who was nice no matter how troubled he himself may be definitely not someone who possessed that much power.
Shizue looked up a bit surprised before she realized it, he never told these people who he was! She giggled a little bit diverting everyone's attention. "That's right you guys don't know right? Sometimes I wonder what goes on in his mind. I've told him to have pride but he just ignores my advice! Well he's actually-" before she could say anything more a teleportation circle opened up and someone came in that someone was Testarossa.
This shocked everyone, there was an anti magic barrier around the area. There was no way she could use magic while insiode but she clearly did! She laughed a bit, "Ara, is it that surprising?" she asked amused, if the one who puts up the barrier is unimaginably weaker then it should be obvious that the barrier would be completely useless.
"How did you do that?" Shuna asked politely, using magic was impossible even for her. "Hmm, why could I not?" even if ants were to gather up in the end they would still be ants beneath her feet and something that was easily crushable, that is because she is one of the people who are absolute!
She shook her head, that wasn't what she was here for! She knelt down with her hand on her chest, she was here because she had recieved orders from Galahad himself. Those orders entailed protecting Shizue because she was his daughter, but causing as many casualties as possible during that task, "I am here on orders from My Master, the Lord of Calamity, Demon Lord Galahad." she said smirking.
