They attacked first without any reason (not that know so far). What do they expect but retribution! Well, I won’t be missing these heretics anytime soon. So I’m gonna say this to the church: God has rejected your cult for the crimes against his teachings. May thou who twisted his words, repent for all eternity with mercy!

@Doomer Nah... you don't kill them. The other 20,000 humans are useful because they are used for the ritual to get back the lives of their comrades.
You truly punish them by leaving them incapable of using any skills(or even learning any skill after the fact), any magic, even basic skills like farming(if that is a thing)... you leave them to rot in the wilderness when their ineffectual natures ensure they can't live because they aren't willing to take a hard road.

Can someone tell me where this is in the LN? I'm tired of waiting and want to read ahead.

Edit: Looks to be Volume 5, chapter 4ish.

@BladeArchieveX Their God is Luminus/Ruminas (depending on which translation you go with).
And yes, that God would be against this attack on Tempest if she knew of it, but these members of the Western Holy Church did this by themselves (though approved by Cardinal Nicolas). Ruminas doesn't involve herself much unless it's absolutely critical.
The Western Holy Church is kind of like a branch of the Church of Ruminas outside of the boundaries of the Holy Kingdom Ruberios where the Papacy resides. The head of the Church in the Holy Kingdom is the Pope while the head of the religion outside of it is Cardinal Nicolas (Hinata's follower/lover). Hinata is the head of the Popes's knights AND the head of the Templar Knights of Western Church.
The Pope almost only focuses on the Holy Kingdom itself and leaves the ruling of the religion to the Cardinals, with Nicolas being the most influential. Nicolas doesn't care about the religion, he's only there because he follow Hinata.
In short, Hinata is the actual head of the Church of Ruminas, but she does actually follow the will of Ruminas (when she's told what that will is). In this case, Hinata (and by extension Nicolas) don't know yet that Ruminas doesn't want Tempest eradicated.

However, the Western Holy Church troops there aren't actually going against the teachings though. Eradicating monsters and not making deals with them are both parts of the Church's teachings since its early days almost 2000 years ago due to how hard it is for normal people to safely interact with monsters and how all the risks of being tricked usually fall upon the innocent human victims. The entire point of the Church is to safeguard humans from aggressive monsters. Monsters like the ones under Rimuru are exceptions in that they actually willing to mingled with humans normally, and without coming to serve Rimuru they likely wouldn't have that disposition toward humans.
The Church's ways do make sense, it's just that this is a case of a exception.
Heck, do you remember the thing that Veldora said about having turned city to ash and then later to have been beaten and sealed by a Hero? The city he reduced to Ash is the turning point that led its survivors to found that religion, and the Hero who sealed Veldora was among those people. They consider Veldora as an absolute enemy of humanity and as a representation of wild aggressive monster not to be negotiated with. Veldora destroying that city occured around 2000 years before Rimuru's birth (so 1700 years before he got sealed).
My point is that while now times are changing and the Church really needs to review their codes when it comes to monsters, they do have good reasons for those teachings.

@Sancturil Well, the story is told from Rimurus point of view, so of course we think about the humans and the church as the "evil" ones here, but while SOME of them are (Like the king who just wants more power, its not like he really attacks because its monsters, but because he can justify it and gain much from it if he wins or maybe some world travellers, but thats debatable, the boy feels evil, but isnt it more the stealing of his live and bringing him into slavery, using him as they whish? Would spark mental problems with most people i think, the brutal behaviour maybe just the way to deal with it after he snapped, who knows ^^), not all of them are. Like, the soldiers and stuff, i mean, the boy killed last in the chapter? What was he? 17? 18? Some boy in military service, thats the ones that feel the failures of their commanders and rulers after all, without fault of themselves.

The situation itself is partly new, monsters that maintain diplomatic relationships and stuff and as bad as that seems, they way Rimuru wants to do it seems the most reasonable now, killing as much as he needs and becoming a demon lord establishes them as a force instead of a target and that is needed. Thats shit for the ten thousands that have to die for it, but its better than letting hundreds of thousands in the city die/become slaves to the human kingdom.
After they have been recognized they can try to establish slowly a more peaceful way and maybe even become sort of a mediator between the demon lords countries and the humans.
