Some RL villains are comically evil, although when you get to the victims, which may number even in the millions, the comedy kind of disappears.Originally Posted by MFauli
Clayman has been a steady enemy from the beginning, though. His clowns were behind the orc disaster. Now he's again plotting things.
Two things worth mentioning, we have otherworlders now that seem to be looking for freedom. Will Rimuru try to save them (and befriend them as a result)? If he tries to save them, will there be irreconcilable differences with the kingdom itself? Or will they be able to negotiate after all after they see how good an ally Rimuru can be...
But we also have the x factor of that church being involved as well.
For the moment, the kingdom is is looking for even more troops to commit than the 17,000 he already said it had to invade. We'll see how it goes.
They were presented about as comically evil as the Falmuth leaders though, the only difference being that they're implied to be in some form of servitude, possibly as part of the summoning ritual like Shizu was. The Touma-looking dude and the girl were particularly bad. The quiet guy not as much.
Contrast them to Shizu or the kids, and well, they came off as two-dimensional evil just like the rest. Maybe they'll give them some backstory.
The scummy shit is that Falmuth is going to send those three, have them "rampage" and then use any resistance or attacks on those three from Tempest to claim "their citizens" were attacked and invade.
The logic that "Because who would believe a bunch of monsters?" is really shitty though. Rimuru already knows the leaders of other nations, and depending on your POV, most demon lords are monsters.
