Clayman's Revenge Pattern of subordinates joining Clayman
So, a pattern I'm starting to see in CR, is that Clayman is helping/saving people Rimuru was unable to (mostly because the events he saved them from happened before Rimuru was born) He saved the Orcs from the famine by stopping the ants, saved Anty's life from being taken by Carrion, help Sasha get a job, saved Quo and her people from being killed and enslaved and prevented Kumara's (Nine) trauma of losing her mother. He even helped Ramiris get her own elemental by having a body made for it and is has even helped Kanzis out by helping him pay Echidna and getting him promoted in the empire. Every time he helps someone, he seems to receive something in return knowingly, or unknowingly, tangible and intangible (e.i Getting Anty, Viol, Sasha, Kanzis, Quo and her people as subordinates. Likely getting Geld later as a subordinate as well as gaining good favor with Ramiris, ect) So what I'm thinking is that in CR, Clayman will continue to end up helping people, doing things Rimuru was unable to do and/or solving problems that Rimuru had planned to worked towards.
Depend on how Clayman's own abilities grows, he may even gain the power to fix problems even guy could not fix, like saving the homeland of Dagruel, and/or stopping the lake shore incident from occurring though helping Blanc, gaining both favors and good will from both of them, though these are a bit of a theoretical. The point is Clayman may end up gaining more allies that will help him with his goals, as well likely even helping him avoid his fate/the end of the world. To sum it up, basically, Clayman helping others may lead to him gaining powerful allies as a result of helping people Rimuru was unable to.
