History of the Western Holy Church

In the sixth episode of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3, Shuna proposes that Rimuru consult Adalmann, the former high priest of Luminisim, for guidance on the current state of the Western Holy Church.

Upon Gabiru’s summons, the undead priest promptly arrives. Adalmann quickly discloses his previous role as a cardinal within the Western Holy Church. He proceeds to educate them on the history of the church, detailing the Papacy’s creation of the Temple knights to safeguard their faithful followers.

As tensions with foreign nations escalated, the Papacy established a new organization called the Master Rooks, granting them direct control over the Temple Knights. Subsequently, the church gained the support of the Crusaders, further bolstering their influence, particularly with the addition of the powerful Seven Days Clergy.

Following his recounting of events in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3 episode 6, Adalmann cautions Rimuru about the Ten Great Saints of Lubelius, a revered and formidable assembly of Enlightened individuals.

As a former priest of Lubelius, Adalmann confides in Rimuru his desire to persuade Hinata to forsake her current beliefs and instead place her trust in the slime. While everyone agrees with Adalmann’s plan, Rimuru is hesitant to complicate matters further.

After Adalmann’s departure, episode 6 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3 depicts Rimuru Tempest creating practical policies.

Veldora is asked to serve as their “last line”of defense in case of any issues. At the same time, Benimaru informs the slime about the tasks assigned to him by Sir Youm for the reinforcements.

In order to carry out the mission, he plans to send a group of 4,300 individuals, which includes Gobta’s team. Hakuro is chosen as the supreme commander for this task and Ranga is assigned to ensure the safety of Gobta’s party.

Despite Diablo’s initial projections, he is taken aback by the news of thirty thousand reinforcements. He had estimated the new king’s force to be around ten thousand, but the demon butler remains determined to secure the safety of Youm and Edmaris by devising clever strategies.

Later, in episode 6 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3, Rimuru Tempest considers who would be the best candidate to face Hinata and her followers in battle.

His objective is for his executives to sustain the fight without causing harm to any Paladins or casualties on their own side. Shion asserts that her Team Reborn is fully equipped for the task, possessing unique abilities such as Complete Memory and Self-Regeneration. In the event of any complications, Benimaru’s Team Kurenai will also participate in the battle.
