The Apocalypse and returning the favor?

//////////////////////////////////
Early in the morning, Acnologia, Rimuru, and the Oni, including Rigurdo and Ranga were at th breakfast table together eating.
The breakfast was made by Shuna herself, she was excited to cook things after Acnologia brought back some honey yesterday. Shion wanted to help but somehow every Oni tried to distract her with something. No way will they allow her to ruin the previous honey.
After breakfast, It was time for Acnologia's daily stroll outside the Village, on his way, he met the bee and the black beetle from a few days ago. They accompanied him in his stroll.
Acnologia didn't pay it much attention and let them be with him, on their way, they met a group of Lizardmen riding on what looks like a raptor. 'Lizards riding lizards...' Acnologia couldn't help but notice that, to him it seemed like a human riding another human.
"Acnologia-dono, they seem to be heading towards your settlement." The black beetle spoke.
"They don't seem to be hostile though." The Bee added after him.
"Those weak creatures won't be a problem, The weakest Goblin can take of them all at once." Acnologia waved his hand and dismissed the idea, shy should he pay attention to everyone weakling passing by, he can leave those to his servants to take care of.
"But Lizardmen coming to this area is outrageous, they live away from us by 3 days distance." The beetle said.
"...Fine, let's go back." Acnologia sighed and retreated home.
"Thank you for hearing my concerns." Somehow the black beetle was happy.
Since the Lizardmen were riding on raptors, they reached the Village sooner than them.
"Bring me your leader!!" The Lizardmen leader shouted in front of Rimuru, Benimaru, Ranga, Rigurdo, Shion.
The Lizardman stood with his hands and head up to the sky, proud with himself, his subordinates were singing his name's and clapping for him.
"Gaberu!!" "Gaberu!!" "Gaberu!!" "Gaberu!!" "Gaberu!!" "Gaberu!!"
"Well, the leader is out if the Village now, tell us what you want and we will tell him." Rimuru said cheerfully.
Hearing this, the Lizard man called Gaberu dropped his hands and looked at Rimuru "How dare a slime to speak to me like that? Know your place you lowly dessert!!" Gaberu pointed at him and shouted.
"Uh-ha?" Rimuru was taken back by the response.
"I am a named Lizardman, the top of the top, put some respect on my name when you say it, GABERu-SAMA!"
"I didn't even say your name." Rimuru responded, somehow, he can feel Shion squeezing his slime body harder.
"Pitiful monsters, Your leader left you behind me ran away from the Orc lord, and let you fend for your lives, I, the great Gaberu will protect you, the weak." Up until now, Gaberu didn't bother to look at who he was speaking to, but when his eyes started wondering around, he saw Benimaru, Rigurdo, Hakuru who joined later, and Shion's cleavage, the word 'weak' started ringing in his head. "Wow!" He uttered.
"Alright, alright, I admit, you have fooled me, who is your leader now?" Gaberu asked while chuckling and shaking his head.
"Sasuga Geberu-sama!!" "You saw right through their lie!!" "So cool!!"
"I have always wondered how Lizardmen roasted meat taste like."
"I heard their tail is good for the skin."
"A bone soup from their bones isn't a bad idea too"
"Eh!!" Rimuru got shocked when he heard the Oni mumble as such.
"Eh?!!" And so did Gaberu.
Deciding to finish this quickly before the poor guy ends up in a pot or Shion end up bursting his soft body. "A-Alright, Ranga come out!"
From the shadows, a giant wolf came out, towering over everyone.
"Was he always this big?" Benimaru questioned.
"What is that you want?" Ranga growled in the face of Gaberu.
Gaberu was petrified with his mouth open "Uh-eh- I- I mean - The Orc lord- uh- Army, need- Father..." Gaberu couldn't speak properly due to Ranga's oppressive aura that is being thrown at his face.
"So you have nothing to say I see." Ranga growled and opened his jaws, the winds started gathering in his mouth, and with a howl, he shot a [Breath of Storm] throwing Gaberu and his subordinates away.
""""Aaaaaaaah!!!!""""
The Lizardmen passed by Acnologia and the black beetle and the bee "The hell was that?" Acnologia said.
When Acnologia reached the Village, he saw the group at the entrance "What happened?" He asked.
"Ah! Brother!!" Rimuru quickly jumped off Shion's deathly grasp and landed on Acnologia's shoulders making Shion apologize repeatedly. "Some guy came to see you, he was mumbling something about Army, Father, Orcs." Rimuru said, in the end, the poor Gaberu didn't say a thing.
However, the Oni people knew what Gaberu wanted to say "Orc lord..." Benimaru spoke "According to Souei's report, The Orc army was heading towards the Lizardmen territory, their leader is probably gathering an army and that guy was his messenger."
"Is that so, The same guy that destroyed your home." Acnologia said. "Why would they come here? Isn't it far away from their home?"
At that moment, Souei appeared "I have seen these guys traveling from each Goblin Village to the other. They probably heard the news about a large Goblin Village and came here."
"Goblins? Against someone that destroyed the Ogres?" Acnologia smiled "So they are looking for meat shields."
"That seems so when you think about it, even so he was weak, that Gaberu guy isn't just any rundown lizard, he is strong in his own right." Rimuru said, With the help of the great Sage,he realized that Gaberu could stand his ground against Benimaru before the evolution.
"But that doesn't change what message he brought." Souei spoke "Acnologia-sama, The Orc-Lord is awake." Souei said seriously, after a few days of following the Orcs, he saw him with his own eyes.
At that moment, the wind started blowing as a green light started gathering behind the group, from that light came out Treyni the Dryad.
"Indeed." She said.
"The Forest Manager!!" The Oni and Rigurdo exclaimed in shock.
"Lord of the monsters...." Treyni looked at Acnologia and spoke "It is time for you to honer our agreement, it is time to return the favor."
