I'm a bit disappointed that the visiting humans haven't come out to defend the monsters.
They're entire plan was to bait the monsters into attacking them so they'd have justification for wiping out the monsters. But that part of their plan completely failed. All of the visiting humans saw them try and pick a fight and fail miserably. But now, the knights are wiping out the monsters anyway because the one guy is like "I'm being attacked!" and none of the other humans are like "No he isn't. He attacked them."
Without the barrier, it would have been the same Rimuru curbstomp we've been getting all along.
Well, to be fair, the entire Kingdom of Tempest is just one city. They don't even have any other towns or villages. So it makes sense there aren't a bunch of forts and guard towers around the kingdom either.
I'm sure he'll revise his build queue after this attack.![]()
