Green Numbers

The Green Numbers (緑色軍団), which are Tempest's vanguard, consists of 12,000 Hobgoblins under Gobta's command.

After the death of the Orc Disaster, the remaining eight thousand goblins that were temporarily recruited by Gabiru, begged Rimuru to join Tempest. They were subsequently assigned names based on their green skin and a number. They all evolved into hobgoblins, marking the birth of the famous Green Numbers. Along with the Yellow Numbers, they would be known as having no equal, the crux of Tempest's force.

Though they are still ranked C+, they are surprisingly powerful. After Rimuru's Harvest Festival, they acquired the Fire Manipulation and Thermal Fluctuation Resistance skills, becoming Tempest's fire squad.

Rimuru regrets naming the force "Green" Numbers in hindsight, considering Benimaru's and their affiliation to fire. So in defiance, he had their equipment dyed green. He thought it would be an interesting surprise on the battlefield, as enemies would be caught off guard by their flame attacks.
