That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Chapter 122 Raw Spoilers

In chapter 122, the war finally begins. Rimuru's camp adopts a stance of observation against the Empire's overwhelming force. This is not carelessness, but a strategy to buy time for Raphael's analysis. Benimaru leads his troops to sever the supply lines using spatial transfer, encircling the isolated Imperial army. Rimuru’s tactic is not physical annihilation, but psychological suppression. As the soldiers lose their will to fight under the pressure of the Demon Lord's Haki, Rimuru descends to the front lines. He stands as a ruthless monarch, devoid of mercy. He declares, "Retreat or be destroyed," single-handedly overwhelming tens of thousands of troops. Through this battle, Rimuru demonstrates absolute terror, proving his authority as a ruler. The conflict now shifts gears, heading toward an inevitable direct confrontation with the Emperor of the Empire.
