That time I got reincarnated as a slime,no, a DRAGON?

CH-6 Goblins and Direwolves

Rimuru's POV

I have just left the ogre village. I had already learnt a lot in the village and decided that it was time to leave and take a look around the other races living in the forest. But that was not the only reason. I had two other reasons.

Firstly, Kurobee told me how they were running low on magic steel so they had trouble making new weapons. So decided to go to Veldora's cave to harvest the magic steel ore. At the same time I decided to harvest the hipokute herb.

The second reason was in front of me kneeling.

Rimru: You don't need to kneel everytime we meet, you know.

Treyni: No. It is necessary to make a line between master and his subordinates.

Rimuru: Whatever. So what did you want to talk about? Is it something that we cant talk about in front of the ogres?

Treyni:  Hai! Nearly two hundred thousand orcs have invaded the forest.

Rimuru: Is that so? This is serious. Even though Orcs are not strong, the sheer number will pose a problem. So.....

Treyni: Hai! Nearly a small battalion of fifteen thousand orcs are planning to invade the ogre village.

Rimuru: What makes you think so?

Treyni: They have seperated from the main army and moving towards the village. But we dont have much information. I decided to report to you as soon as possible. So we did not investigate further.

Rimuru: Very well. Investigate further but make sure you do not get discovered. If you get discovered, they will become more aware.

Treyni: Understood.

After saying that she dissapeared. I entered the cave and harvested the hipokute herbs and magic steel. I nearly emptied the entire cave and entered the chamber where Veldora was sealed. The magic steel here had already grew into magic cluster and as we moved towards the centre there was demon steel and some quantities of orichinium. But in the centre there was one singular piece of metal ore which I could not recognize. I then predated on the ore and 《Wisdom》told me it Dragonite and had highly concentrated dragon magicules. I decided to keep it for myself and ask Kurobee for a personal weapon. After the sword I use is just made of my magic.

After I come outside of the cave, I activate my magic eye. I see a magic signature spying on me. It had atleast 3 to 5 times my magicule. So I decided to move on and used my magic sense to look at who ever it was. 《Magic Sense》is a great skill I learnt while fighting Hakurou. I could not sense any person with it but when I used magic to strengthen my eyes, I saw a women in a gothic dress. She was looking at me, or rather the cave. I wonder why? But I suddenly have an idea. I seperate a small part of my body. By small, I mean really small. It is invisible to not only to naked eyes but magic perception as well. It was like a nano-machine but enhanced for spying. So I sent this machine to the women and it latched on to her ear and proceeded to hide there. Looks like my plan is a success. Someone as strong as her will definitely have a passive multi-layered barrier but my clone managed to pass it. So it is good for spying. I am surprised 《Wisdom》managed to recreate nanotechnology only with my memories.《Wisdom》 really is something.

I proceeded to walk in a random direction and saw as she entered the cave. Veldora was the only one there. So she might know Veldora or something. Whatever. I don't care.

As I was walking through the night, I heard a loud roar. I quickly ran towards the roar. 《Wisdom》told me it was a Direwolf's roar. As I ran towards it I saw that the Direwolves were attacking a goblin village. Direwolves are the strongest race in the forest that lives in a pack. So if I defeat their alpha, they will start following me. Right?

Rimuru: Stop! Submit to me and I will let you live.

Alpha: Hah! A human dare to threaten me. We will kill you along with the goblins. Awooooooo.......

Rimuru: Very well.

I say that and lift the alpha up by his neck and threw him at the nearby tree. I decided to kill him brutally and slowly to make an example. I first cut off his legs and then kicked him into the ground. I could hear the ground shake and his bones cracking. I then crush his head below my feet and then look towards the Direwolves.

Rimuru: What about now? If you don't submit now, I will have to kill all of you.

Suddenly all of the wolves kneeled and pledged their loyalty to me.

Alpha's son: We all pledge our loyalty to you, my lord.

Rimuru: Very well. As I sign of your loyalty, I will give you the name Ranga while your pack can have my family name Tempest.

Ranga: We will forever serve you, my lord.

As I was smiling a goblin came out. He appeared to be quite old and frail.

Old goblin: We goblins swear our loyalty to you , my lord.

Huh? When did I ask for their loyalty? Ahhhhhh..  I never said whom I was talking to when I told them to submit to me. I think they would not be much of help. Just as I was about to tell them that I don't need them, an idea came to me. I can't stay with the Ogres forever. It might be better to make a new house here rather than living  at the ogre village.

So I decided to make pairs of goblin and Direwolves and told them to not attack anyone but if they attack them first, they are free to attack back. After that, I  name all the goblins to investigate something. When I named Ranga, a soul corridor was made with him. And i could give him a bit of my magicules as well as take his. But this did not occur with the ogres. So when I named the goblins and they evolved, I took back the magicules from them. There was still a loss but I managed to regain quite a bit of the magicule.

I then stayed there for 3 to 4 days to make the base structure such as a proper house. Then one day suddenly Treyni contacted me via thought communication. Now that the thought communication was made, I saw that I had a soul corridor with Treyni as well.

Treyni: Rimuru-sama, the orcs are led by an Orc Lord. They all have full plate armor like humans. It appears that a high majin and another majin whose strength matches if not exceeds mine is supporting them from the shadows.

Rimuru: Orc Lord? Isn't he born once every century? And someone as strong you? Do not interfere them and definitely do not fight them. We do not have enough information.

Treyni: Understood. Also, Rimuru-sama, the orcs are currently attacking the ogre village.

Rimuru: So they did attack. Alright. Continue to keep an eye on them. I will go and help the ogres.

After that I teleported to the forest near the ogre village. I told the goblins to not interfere with any suspicious person.

---------------
I was not sure whether Shizu came first or the attack on the ogres. So in this story ogres will be attacked first.

Anyway thanks for reading. Like and follow me. Thanks for your support.
