WN/Tempest military strength

Background
At first, Tempest's power consisted only of Goblins and Fanged Wolves, whose originally swore loyalty to Rimuru. However, after the Orges joined and evolved into Oni, Tempest's military was able to confidently challenged 200000 Orc forces head on. After their defeats, some of the Orcs and Gabil's Lizardmen also joined Tempest, thus effectively increase Tempest's military might.

Principles
Tempest's military can be thought of as a self defense force instead of offensive forces. This reflected how Rimuru decided to wait for the Empire to attack instead of actively waging an offensive war. They believe it to be morally right to decimate any invading forces to the last men; however, they would never kill any civilian or continue killing after the war is already declared over.

The commander Gobuta and adviser Hakurou
 * The First corps:

Affiliated with the First corps are:

-Ogre Wolves, 100 members: Evolved from the combination of Wolf Riders and Star Wolves. Their battle power is at A rank [EP: 9,000 ~ 9,900] and they will serve as captains of this corps

-Green Numbers, 12,000 members: They have been split into a host of 4,000 members, comprising three teams. Their numbers have increased greatly over the past year. The majority of them come as warriors from the many tribes in Great Jura Forest domain. Even so, they are B rank [EP: 5,000~6,000] and are a splendid fighting force. Under direct command of Gerudo
 * The Second corps:

Primary strength of Tempest. Affliated with the Second corps are:

-Yellow Numbers, 2,000 members: These are the High Orcs serving under Gerudo. Individually they are strong B+ rank [EP: 7,500~8,000]. They are also able to unite with Gerudo to become a single shield to reorganized them into teams and assigned captains

-Orange Numbers, 35,000 members: Recently “born” High-Orcs. They are C ranked. Only 15,000 will participate in combat with a 20,000 support and engineer corps.

Vice-commander Gabil
 * The Third corps:

Specialised in conducting air raids

The affiliated members are:

-Hiryuu, 100 members: These are, on average, the strongest unit in Tempest. A rank [EP: 9,500~9,900], but coordinate their attacks extremely well. There are some among them who are surpassing A rank as well. Their trump card being『Battle Dragon Transformation / Dragon Warriors Transformation』

-Blue Numbers, 3,000 members: Comprised solely of new applicants from the lizardmen. They are only C ranked. But that is not their true strength. Their power lies in their ability to mount the Wyverns and take to the skies. In fact, this division has the ability to completely dominate the air space. Even within Tempest, they are a secret division.

Wyvern is a lesser dragon species. These B+ beasts are acquired with the help of Milim.

Standing above all of these are three corps of absolute power is the supreme commander Benimaru at the top. Benimaru has full control over every force, such that not even Rimuru could command them. But it seems that Raphael linked thoughts with Benimaru so it’s not like Rimuru's will is not being carried out. Benimaru’s personal cohort is a group of 100 members of Crimson/Kurenai.


 * Crimson/Kurenai :

A group of A rank monsters focusing on strength and truly possess ridiculous abilities. Raw-power-wise, they may only be at Gelmudo ’s level but level does not mean everything. Their current “level” would match the Templar Knights. The captains of Crimson endured Hakurou’s hellish training. They are a very dependable force.
 * Darkness/Shadow Squad :

Souei ’s information squad: originally and formerly 6 members - Souei and 5 Dragonewt ninjas; currently 100 members.

They specialize in espionage, Souei said they have zero fighting strength, but Rimuru doesn’t believe him since they do carry out assassinations. Souei has sole and exclusive control over them, and few even know of them and their name comes up only in rumors. Souei supervise the Third Corps as well. Information gathering could be done extremely well from the sky However, Souei can only command if Benimaru issues such an order. Of course, Souei is not the kind of person to ignore chain of command and issue orders without authorization.

Notice: there is not a single group over which Rimuru have direct control
 * Yomigaeri :

Rimuru's personal guards are Shion ’s Yomigaeri. These individuals continued training even while suffering mortal wounds, and have reached a rank of B+ [EP: 8,000~8,500]. The most efficient division. They have developed splendidly since fighting the Templars, and may soon reach A rank. With their development, the Yomigaeri are considered to be capable of surpassing the Hiryuu, which is the strongest group. As they cannot die, they are perfect for buying time. Rimuru did not choose them as his personal guard; the other members did. Rimuru will not issue them orders since  Shion will be issuing them orders  though they will obey Rimuru's every words and as well Shion's. According to Rimuru, looking after this group is like babysitting a bunch of uncontrollable kids. They are also Shion's personal squad. They are not a fighting force meant to be relied on, and their ability is rather unknown, though none of them will seriously die. Shion has been raising them in secret, so Rimuru don’t know how powerful they are. There are no more than a thousand of them, and they won’t be on the front lines. Dagruel’s children will be the captains, as they performed admirably during the fight between Leon and Yuuki. In the end, despite all the troublesome facts regadring them, Rimuru guess he can depend on them.

Summary
Tempest standing forces:


 * 1) Gobuta’s First corps: approximately 12,000 members.


 * 1) Gerudo’s corps: approximately 37,000 members.


 * 1) Gabil’s corps: approximately 3,000 members.

Numbers nearly ten legions strong. The majority of the second corps are engineers, who are not really fit for combat, but that does not mean that the army suffers numerically.

However, it’s not enough to counter the Eastern Empire. For this reason, Tempest have decided to send out “invitations” to nearby monsters as well as requesting reinforcements from the Council and its allies.

Reinforcements:
 * 1) The Great Jura Forests:

At this point, every powers under Rimuru's domain - The Great Jura Forest - has received the invitations. According to Rimuru, since figuring out their placement ahead of time may prove difficult, Tempest may just have to do it once the war starts and gather and organize them into a corps. Rimuru plan to resort to them only if Tempest are unable to win with the standing army, but forecast the summoned to number roughly 50,000. They are to become the Fourth Corps - the Crimson Numbers - under Benimaru’s direct control. With the『Generalissimo』skill, Benimaru can control them effectively, so none are better fit than Benimaru to lead.


 * 2. The Council and Holy Kingdom Ruberion :

Then, there are the mercenary troops from the Council. The fact that Tempest’s defeat means the invasion and destruction of every countries neighboring the Jura forest forced the countries to give their full support. As such, mercenary troops from those countries just keep coming and coming. Templar Knight Arnaud is overseeing them. There are 30,000 such mercenary troops stationed in a set-up garrison in the south-east border of Tempest while Holy Kingdom Ruberion will guard the north-west border. Since the chance of a threat of invasion in the north-west border is slim, the Holy Kingdom left primarily border guards there. Aside from those 30,000 mercenaries, countries from the Council also sent their knights to Tempest as well.

According to Arnaud, it is concluded that aside from the 30,000 mercanaries that come from nearby countries. the rest have been delayed. He thinks that Tempest should have expected a total force of about 60,000 members of Knights and mercenaries from every countries of the Council.


 * 3. Adventurers:

There’s the adventurers guarding the Adventurer’s city inside the Dungeon/Labyrinth. These volunteer "soldiers" decide to risk their lives protecting the dungeon/labyrinth-city. Therefore, Rimuru thinks they, too, can be of use.

Rimuru decided to have Masayuki command them since Rimuru thinks he’s the kind of guy who can actually produce good results and is pretty reliable at times like this. The volunteer troops number 10,000, surpassing Rimuru's expectation, since the Dungeon is to be on hold as it goes in sleep mode and people can’t be slacking off there. As a result, Rimuru promised to take care of their sustenance while the Dungeon/Labyrinth is on hold. Additionally, Souei spread rumours of rewards in order to motivate and recruit more adventurers.

Total forces summary:

Tempest’s standing army of 50,000. The monsters in Rimuru domain, 50,000. Mercenaries from other countries, 60,000. Adventurers, 10,000. Together, it becomes a great host of 170,000 warriors though it's only at 50% of the expected mark.

New addition: The Black Corps are Tempest's strongest fighting force.
 * Black Corps

The Black Number: Approximately 700 personnel consisting of Diablo's old rivals, their subordinates and unique individuals. After being summoned, these demons are made to inhabit/possess the demon dolls inside capsules developed by Tempest.

Among them, there are originally 3 Arch Demons, 7 Greater Demons and the remaing are Lesser Demons.

The 3 Arch Demons evolve into Demon Dukes after being named then were further evolved into True Demon Lords when granted the 100,000 souls from Rimuru. These are the names of the Demon Lord trio:

Testarossa
 * Killer Lord
 * Ultimate skill "Death Zone King Belial"

Ultima
 * Pain Lord
 * Ultimate skill "Poisonous Death King Samael"

Carrera Simultaneously as they are named, the incarnation and evolution process was completed, they leave their capsules as Demon Dukes and all three of them are beauties.Their might is horrifyingly overwhelming while their strength is on a completely different dimension.
 * Menace Lord
 * Ultimate skill "Death King Abaddon"

The 7 Greater Demons evolve into Arch Demons after being named. Upon the evolution of their masters the Arch Demons evolved into Demon Nobles. The Demons Nobels have a name for each of them: Venom, Veyron, Moss, Shien, Zonda, Agera, Esprit.

Their evolution completed in an instant after they're named, and emerged from their cultivation capsule. They have the strength of Arch Demons as the obvious fact.

The souls of Lesser Demons are also just right for inhabiting the demon dolls. After inhabiting those dolls, they have the strengths of Greater Demons despite being Lesser Demons

Dozens of these Lesser Demons, who become Greater-demons-like, have abilities above A ranks. Among them, if there's someone with a unique ability, they might even evolve into strong Arch Demons even if they're weak.

100 Greater Demons were born among the total of 700 Lesser Demons' souls that are lodged onto the cultivated demon dolls due to accumulating enough magic essence/energy for evolution from inhabiting the dolls. These demons are revealed to be powerful with abilities that surpass the Majins/Devils.

The 100 Greater Demons evolved into Demon Chevaliers (Knights) and the 600 Lesser Demons evolved into Greater Demons when their Masters evolved into Demon Lords.

Tactical Class Military Operated Battle Command Post (a.k.a the Control Room)
It uses Physics Magic for surveillance while also being used for military tactical strategy planning

Established next to Veldora 's private quarters in the 100th floor of the dungeon, it’s possible to come in and out of this place from Tempest’s Strategy Conference Hall making it an important base, which was fundamentally inside the dungeon.

Inside the Control room, large screens were set up in the room and each of them displayed a scene of different places: The various areas within Jura Great Forest, the trade route with the Dwarf Kingdom, the sea routes, the Qanat mountain ranges. They're all displayed without problems allowing Rimuru to observe various important points one by one.

The concept is utilizing the Physics Magic ”Meggido", with which Rimuru created lens-shaped water drops that can be handled by the spirits. The magic itself is used with low cost The images enlarged by the large lens are reflected onto a mirror to be relayed to a similar mirror deployed near the Stratopause and the images will be transferred to the Control room. At the same time, the transmission of images is directly dealt with via Spatial Control leaving no gap due to instantaneous transfer of data.

The images projected on the screen had HD quality after being processed by Raphael. There’re two projections in case one get destroyed or is being deceived.

In addition, the completion of this surveillance system enable Rimuru to use " Megiddo" while being inside the Control Room.

To assist this surveillance even more, Raphael developed a system of 24-hour satellites that would float in the sky and usable even at night.

With Rimuru's magic essence as the fuel, there’s now a great spirit class geostationary satellite permanently hovering near the Stratopause. Once it runs out, Rimuru simply needs to supplement it.

Furthermor, Its position that is unrelated to day and night make it enable to converge direct sunlight making it possible to reflect and radiate energy anytime. Though it can't be avoided that energy loss would occur, the power of the sun ray was more powerful than enough and can even be used at night. There’s also a bit of energy loss even during the day and night cycle. As the amount of sun light satellite converges increases, so too does the amount of heat.

Tactics Thought Transmission
Through Thought Transmission, aerial information can be transmitted to every soldier. Thus, information tactics of modern warfare can be implemented in this world. Unlike conventional armies, the amount of information provided is vastly different. With this, it is possible even for an individual unit to maneuver well It Actually makes individual movement possible

Military Technologies and Arms and Magic

 * Cultivating demon dolls


 * Surveillance satellites

 * Different levels of armor and weapons from low-grade to high-grade:

The Magic Swords are made with small, empty and round holes the size of a marble at the base of each swords, maximum 3 holes. The Elemental Cores are to be inserted into these holes to grant elemental attributes to the Magic Swords. It is possible to change the attributes by changing combination order of the Elemental Cores though it can only be combined with one attribute per hole.
