It’s a pity that the Supreme Commander’s ideal is very hopeful, but the reality is extremely bleak.
He probably didn't expect that when they saw Wang Teng, their high priest Rimuru would simply raise his hands and surrender.
These "ministers" are still thinking about how to review the situation and how to reverse the defeat.
They even thought about making a collective sacrifice to summon the power of the God of Life to resist this invading unknown civilization.
They all placed their hopes on the high priest Rimuru and on his identity as the spokesperson for the God of Life.
It's just...
The high priest on whom they place their hopes is, fundamentally speaking, a human being.
And they are humans who have longed for their home planet.
This really fits the scene:
"We are ready to fight to the death, Your Majesty, why did you surrender first?"
——"Actually, I'm an undercover agent from an enemy country."
At this time, Rimuru was still unaware of the power struggle taking place in the Shandala civilization.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't have any opinion.
After all, as the high priest of Shandala, he himself has a transcendent status, and his position is unbreakable as long as there is no will of the God of Life.
Not to mention the Supreme Commander, even the political parties have to consider whether all the Shandala people who believe in the God of Life are willing.
Don’t think that the Shandala Empire’s political parties don’t know Rimuru’s human identity, but even if they do, what can they do? He is the messenger appointed by the God of Life, and this is something that everyone in the temple recognizes.
Unless their imperial party wanted to overthrow Shandala's belief in life, they had to acknowledge him, even if they knew he was a human.
Therefore, in the Shandala civilization, the one with the most say is not the imperial political party, but the high priest of the temple.
"I didn't expect that despite your young age, you actually hold such a high position and power."
Ze Lan said to Rimuru who was sitting in the cafeteria and eating food from the ancestral planet.
At this moment, Rimuru was inexplicably touched and panicked, and tears could not help but slide down from the corners of his eyes.
“Dad, Mom…”
He didn't know what homesickness was, but this time was the closest he had been to his parents in all these years.
That’s right, Rimuru is already a guest on the Red Star Ship at this time. As for the life consciousness of Shandala, it is not up to him to say.
He has been wanting to make contact with the ancestral planet for years, and now that he has encountered the Red Star Fleet, of course he will satisfy his curiosity first.
Perhaps because of his cute appearance, he was warmly welcomed as soon as he got on board.
"I'm not your father or mother. My name is Zelan. You can call me Sister Zelan."
"Um, how old are you?"
Zelan returned to her old job. In fact, the Red Star seemed to be the most suitable place for her.
She has heavenly-level armed combat power and experience in taking care of people (from Wang Teng), and she is also the youngest, so she should get along well with the other party.
"I'm sorry, I just thought of my parents." Rimuru wiped his tears and said embarrassedly.
"As for my age, according to Zuxing's calculations, I'm already 24."
"How much?" Ze Lan was immediately furious.
Looking at Rimuru who looks like a middle school student, he only looks about fifteen or sixteen, but he is already twenty-four?
You know, she is only about twenty-one.
"You're older than me?!"
This is what Zelan focuses on.
I thought I was no longer the youngest, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape this hurdle.
"Aren't you eating well here?"
Ze Lan was suspicious, but looking at Rimuru, he didn't seem to be unable to develop. The muscle fibers under his skin were sufficient and very strong.
But why is it like this?
"Well, I ate well." Rimuru smiled. He was the high priest, just kidding. In the entire Shandala civilization, the only one who could compare with him in status was the God of Life. It could be said that whatever he wanted would be the best.
The people under the temple will prepare everything for him.
And he just needs to maintain his connection with the God of Life.
"Then why are you still so small?"
Ze Lan asked curiously.
"That's because I once underwent a life transformation, which caused my body to stagnate in development."
Rimuru explained with a smile.
When Ze Lan heard this, he immediately apologized: "I didn't expect it to be..."
"It's okay, but I look quite friendly like this, and everyone likes talking to me." Rimuru explained humorously.
"Then have you ever thought about what to do with them?" Ze Lan picked up a bag of spicy strips. Those were the bottom of the box that she contributed, and she had to eat them back no matter what.
Rimuru shook his head. "The person who experimented on me has already paid the price. The others didn't do anything to me. Don't you think the current situation is pretty good?"
"Even if they knew the truth, they wouldn't dare do anything to me and would still have to serve me."
After hearing this, Zelan immediately shook his head.
"You can't think like that."
"That was in the past. But now we are here, and you, the high priest, have done nothing. They must hate you to death."
"I guess they'll do something to you after we leave."
Although Zelan is young, he has seen many such things during the battles over the years.
Therefore, I am quite worried about Rimuru's situation.
But Rimuru was obviously not as ignorant as he looked. He smiled and asked, "Now that you're here, will you leave?"
When Ze Lan heard this, he was stunned.
Yes, it was so hard to get it, how could I just walk away?
No matter what, we have to make some arrangements, leave a teleportation device, and even leave a team of people here.
