Rimuru stopped and turned to look at Benimaru: "Benimaru, what were our losses in this war?"
Benimaru glanced at the troops that stretched for miles in the forest below and respectfully reported, "Lord Rimuru, our forces, including those of our allies, have mobilized nearly 500,000 troops this time, and now we have 410,000 remaining."
"The pig-headed men suffered the most casualties. Because of our lack of intelligence on the enemy, we were caught off guard by the legion's attack and now only have a little over three thousand men left."
"The remaining legions on the left and right flanks, led by Violet, were also caught off guard and broken through by that legion, with a total loss of about 50,000. There were also about 1,000 dwarven empire reinforcements."
"The central army suffered minimal losses because it hadn't yet pressed forward; only a few hundred were killed by the aftershocks from getting too close."
"However, of the more than 400,000 elite monsters that the enemy sent out in the first wave, only about 100,000 remain. Our side has killed nearly 300,000 enemy soldiers with elite strength."
"Based on the casualty ratio, it's one to three. However, our casualties are mostly ordinary elites with a few elites, while the enemy's dead are all elite monsters. So it can be considered one to ten. It looks like I've won a great victory."
When talking about our great victory, neither Ziyuan nor the others showed any joy on their faces, because those elite monsters were just cannon fodder for the enemy.
The three legions that actually appeared later were completely unharmed, but their combat power was terrifying, and they were almost unmatched on the main battlefield.
Judging from the combat strength revealed, just one of those elite legions would be enough to sweep through their Monster Federation Empire without Rimuru and the others even lifting a finger. It's terrifying.
Rimuru nodded and explained, "The current situation is that if that legion can't break through, our troops will just be throwing their lives away if they stay there. After all, apart from me, Chloe, and Milim, none of you here can stop that kind of attack."
“Lord Rimuru is right,” Diablo said, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“I observed them carefully, and each soldier in that legion was as strong as a peak A-level monster. Each legion had 10,000 of them, and many of them had the strength of an S-level ordinary natural disaster.”
"Combined with their special armor and weapons, their power is linked into a whole, forming a very powerful magic array field."
"With the leadership of a powerful figure possessing the strength of an awakened demon king, that legion has a strong overall defense, an astonishing attack, and multiple attack methods that are extremely difficult to deal with."
"However, it seems that the other party cannot leave that passage very far now, so Lord Rimuru's idea is probably to exchange space for time, and in the meantime, find a way to find the other party's weakness."
“Not bad.” Rimuru nodded slightly.
"The demon king who appeared later, who called himself Lucifer, was very strong, but I could still handle him. Plus, with Milim and Chloe around, we actually had the advantage in terms of high-end power."
"If Milim and I join forces, I am confident that we can gain the upper hand. If the three of us join forces, we are confident that we can suppress that Demon King."
“But then you won’t be able to withstand the attacks of those legions, and they definitely still have forces that haven’t been exposed, what if there are many more of those legions?” Rimuru felt a bit troubled as he said this.
"Lord Rimuru, that Demon Lord is that strong!" Shion was somewhat incredulous, as she had just witnessed Rimuru easily blocking the attack.
"That demon king is very strong."
At this moment, Chloe, who had been silent all along, calmly said, "It is only its will that has descended and is suppressed by our world. Its strength should only be 30% of its peak."
"What..." This news shocked Ziyun and the others who had always admired Rimuru.
Rimuru shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, just like Chloe said, the opponent is suppressed by our world. Even if its true form comes, we can stop it. The trouble is those special legions."
"What we need to do now is to find the weakness of that special legion before that world power spreads to the central part of the Federation, or to gather all our strength and drive them out in one fell swoop."
"Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to abandon our migration to the Jura Forest."
"And that red-haired female demon, although the strength she showed just now was impressive, it's definitely not her true strength. Everyone be careful," Diablo warned.
As Shion and the others retreated with heavy hearts, Rias and the others did not do anything unnecessary. Instead, they shrank their formation, set up camp using the World Passage, and began to set up defenses.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield spanning hundreds of miles, demon wizards began setting up erosion magic circles and altars, working to draw upon and expand the will of the underworld.
Meanwhile, in the passage, legions of demons exuding astonishing malevolent aura emerged one after another. After the vanguard had probed the area and had grasped the strength of this world, Sazex was preparing to proceed with the next step of his plan.
Meanwhile, on the second passage, because there was no force to stop them, Leviathan's arrival and suppression efforts yielded much better results than those on Sazex's side, allowing them to advance five hundred miles in one go.

Aha...
Outside the main gate of the high school, Jiang Jing, who had handed in his exam paper early and was loitering outside waiting for Shiina Mashiro and the others, yawned lazily and casually said as he looked at the three people walking over.
"The summer vacation has started. What are your plans, senior students?"
"My summer vacation plans? Well, I'll work hard to finish CL," Misaki Kamiigusa said excitedly, waving her hand.
“Draw.” Shiina Mashiro said calmly.
Aoyama Nanami nodded and said, "I want to continue learning about voice acting and working on CL's voice acting during the summer vacation."
Jiang Jing shrugged: "Okay, good luck to you guys."
"Kanda, what are your plans for summer vacation?" Aoyama Nanami asked curiously.
“Yes,” Jiang Jing nodded.
"What is it?"
Immediately, Shiina Mashiro, Aoyama Nanami, and Kamiigusa Misaki all looked over.
"It's a rare holiday, so of course I'll just stay home and be a couch potato."
"What kind of plan is this?" Aoyama Nanami and the others were taken aback.
Jiang Jingsheng stretched and said, "This time I'm going to stay home and sleep every day. Okay, let's go back."
At this moment, the whole campus became lively, and students with excited and happy smiles on their faces walked towards the school gate in groups or alone.
However, just as the four of them walked out of the school gate, Jiang Jing turned to look at Shiina Mashiro, who was holding his hand: "By the way, Mashiro, did you remember all the answers I asked you to memorize? Did you make any mistakes on the test?"
Shiina Mashiro calmly replied, "No."
"That's good."
Jiang Jing remembered that Shiina Mashiro hadn't studied any of the regular subjects besides drawing in class. So, not wanting her to fail the exam and have to retake it, Jiang Jing ended up having to ask Shiina Mashiro to memorize the answers to the past dozen or so exams.
"Kanda, aren't you going home for summer vacation?" On the way, Aoyama Nanami, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around.
"Go home." Jiang Jing couldn't help but think of his unreliable mother and his extremely doting father, and then he shook his head.
"Let's talk about it during winter break."
Just as Jiang Jing and the others started their holiday, Kanda Yuko, who had just finished her exams in Fukuoka, was also very happy and skipped home.
"Onii-chan is coming back! Onii-chan is coming back..."

P.S.: I wrote a chapter today and shared it in the group, so I didn't have enough time to write the main text. I only wrote 7,000 words today, and I'll make up for it with 3,000 words after deducting the minimum requirement.
By the way, does the reverse translation I wrote count as a make-up update?

Chapter 293 Don't worry, we're good devils. Yuko arrives.
To the west of the Eastern Empire, a series of ice peaks, stretching for hundreds of miles like mountain ranges, separate the small country of Alsaipan from the Bode Plain.
On one side of the mountain range are the allied forces of major countries and empires to the east, and on the other side are countless demons from the underworld who are busy building fortifications and defenses.
At this moment, on the opposite side of the Ice Peak Mountains, several figures and two giant dragons flew high in the sky, looking solemnly at the demons opposite them. The Primal Red Qi Yi, with blood-red hair and a majestic expression, spoke calmly.
"The world of the underworld on the other side is very powerful overall, especially that otherworldly demon king called Leviathan, who is very troublesome."
"Roar! What are they doing?" Velusado, a white ice dragon with wings outstretched and surrounded by frost that freezes everything, leaned against Qi Yi, somewhat puzzled.
Earlier, it and Guy fought a great battle against the otherworldly demon king known as Leviathan. Even when the two joined forces, they were at a disadvantage, but the other party seemed to have some kind of restriction that made it impossible for them to defeat them.
After they retreated, the demon king merely remained above the passage without any intention of pursuing them, and the demon legions below also stopped after advancing five hundred miles.
What puzzled them most was that after conquering the small country of Alsaipan, those otherworldly demons did nothing to the civilians, such as slaughtering otherworldly beings.
The demons, on the contrary, were divided into small teams to maintain order and deal with thugs and evil adventurers in the city and towns who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob and plunder. They were completely different from their crazy and brutal image on the battlefield.
"They really want to conquer our world." The Emperor of the Eastern Empire, Rudra, the First Hero, who was both an enemy and a friend of Qi Yi and had not yet made a move, said solemnly from afar.
Having ruled the empire for many years, he knew very well what it meant when those demons, after conquering a country, did not commit any atrocities but instead appeased the people.
It means that the other side wants to rule the world and is confident of defeating them.
“I just received news that the situation in the Jura Forest is also bad. Rimuru and his group have been repelled and have abandoned the southern region of the forest,” said Leon Cromwell, the Platinum Sword King, in a deep voice from afar.
As the strongest forces here, although the three are either hostile or neutral, they have temporarily united their forces and led their armies to the scene in the face of the invasion from another world.
However, none of the three expected that even when the strongest, Guy, and the White Ice Dragon Velusado joined forces, they were still at a disadvantage against the will of the otherworldly demon king.
As for the three demon legions that destroyed everything in their path and were unstoppable, their strength shocked everyone, and in the end, they made a similar choice to Rimuru.
Strategic retreat.
Rudra squinted: "So, the enemy on the other side of that passage in the Jura Monster Federation Empire also possesses power similar to, no, even stronger than, that here?"
The thought of Rimuru, whose strength surpasses Guy's, and Milim and Chloe, who are no less powerful than Guy, having to retreat, caused a sinking feeling in the hearts of everyone present.
Because the enemy's strength was too great, we split our forces into two groups to fight, and we can suppress them head-on on both battlefields.
While this is partly due to the fact that they didn't go all out, the other side is clearly doing the same, and what they've just sent across the border is just the vanguard.

"You actually got blocked."
In the underworld, in the demon palace above the clouds outside the world passage, Serafru, in her true form, sat on the throne and looked at Sazex, somewhat surprised that he had also been stopped.
Among the four true demon kings of the underworld, Sazex, who has completely transformed into the rules of destruction, is the strongest in terms of combat power. In addition, he has the authority to exercise one-fifth of the rules of the underworld, making him one of the strongest even among the main gods of the six realms.
Especially in the underworld, the four true demon kings can always maintain their peak strength and their magic power is inexhaustible.
The so-called right to exercise the rules of the underworld can be seen as a kind of authority to control the fundamental rules of the world, which is only possessed by beings born in the underworld, a special world that encompasses hell, the abyss, and the upper underworld.
The stronger the demon of the underworld, the more favored it is by the will of the underworld. When it acts in other worlds to cause destruction and slaughter, it can draw the will of the underworld to descend, neutralize the suppression of the laws of other worlds, and enhance its own strength.
The Four True Demon Kings are among the agents recognized by the Underworld, each possessing 20% of the authority. The remaining 20% is distributed among top-tier gods in the Southern Region, such as Hades, the King of the Underworld.
Sazex nodded slightly: "That person is very powerful. If it were outside this world, I could suppress it, but in the other world, I am currently too restricted."
"The will of the underworld that I am currently trying to draw upon is insufficient, and my true form cannot descend. At most, I can only suppress the will of the underworld, not completely subdue it."
"Moreover, it has two very powerful women with it, so after they chose to leave, I was too lazy to take action. I'll wait until the will of the underworld spreads and invades enough for me to descend."
"Ahem... My lords, there seems to be a human civilization on the other side. I hope your demons below will be careful." Just then, a four-star cultivator sitting in the corner coughed and reminded them.
Sazex turned his head and smiled slightly: "Rest assured, Overseer, our Underworld and the Association have always cooperated well, and we will certainly not break the rules signed in the Conference Room of the Gods."
"This other world is currently on the edge of exploration. It is not neutral and has not established diplomatic relations with the central world, so it is not included in the signed rules and is subject to the attack conditions."
"And after the main war ended, our people below also followed the covenant and did not do anything against the rules to those otherworldly civilians, so don't worry," Seraphlus smiled.
