Alrighty... here's what basically happens according to my parsing of it:

331: Rou goes over where they will be fighting, and talking about setting his troops up. He considers the training to be basically over. He talks about the enemy forces, in comparison with his own, and basically calls both groups to be elite power-houses. His are better, but his are also outnumbered... I think 5 to 1. Also of course, his enemies have many "hero" and "champion" types in their ranks. Which he considers a good thing, since they'll likely be tasty and provide him with good materials for eating. He's going to use the defenses of the dungeon to scout out enemy strength and see if he can wear them down a bit, but he's not interested in an actual siege, so he's set up counter measures to make sure the enemy only progresses down certain paths in his volcano. While he waits for the war to start, he eats some sacred treasures.

332: He gets a few powers from eating a divine treasure, and also acquires some "divine power." So he spends the day chewing on another treasure.

333: He trains with his kids, and notes how strong his halberd is now... and I think he decides that the materials Blacksmith is working with, are insufficient to really upgrade the halberd any further. Even so, the fact that she made this weapon is astounding. He wonders if he could pump his "divine power" into it to upgrade it, but puts it off for now. While still training his kids and chewing on a treasure, he decides to get some liquor to go with the treasure. Apparently it's great.

334: He finishes the second treasure, and gets another round of powers. He uses them to do some high artisinal stone sculpting.

335: The holy war begins tomorrow. He's still considering trying to eat one last treasure before the fighting starts, and I think he decides against it so that he doesn't ruin his appetite for high-powered enemies... he also gives it to (pretty boy healer, I forget his name) to use instead of chewing it, so as to increase the power of his support abilities. He instead has a party with dragon meat and high quality wine.

336: He makes a "devil clown" to meet with the invaders. It gets shot down before saying anything. He sends another, but has it wave a white flag on its approach, which buys it time to deliver a message, basically telling the enemy where to find Rou's volcano-dungeon, and lets them know he's waiting for them. He then describes, more or less, the important enemy forces which come down to, the Holy Kingdom's "White Birth Savior" who has the blessing of a Great God, like Rou and seems to be the biggest threat; Saint of Boundaries and Saint of Cleaving, who are high powered "heroes"; ten other heroes, two of which are "cardinals" and thus probably high ranked in their number, and the "meal hero" being one that Rou wants to capture alive; and nine "champions" with two more "cardinals." The Empire has sent, four "heroes" two of which had been targetted by "fate plunder" which did... something to them, and three "champions" one of whom has been "fate plundered," one being Avenger's enemy, and the last being the guy who created that slave army that Rou usurped during the first war he fought in. The Kingdom is only sending the Iron Rock Hero, and Rou plans to teleport him into the gambling dungeon for the entirety of the war. There are also two heroes and one champion from small countries whose names we don't know. The Demon/Magic Empire is sending the Demon Emperor himself along with three of their generals. The Beast Kingdom is sending the Beast King and six of its generals. I'd guess the Demon Empire generals are good at crowd control/superior number tactics where the Beast Kingdom generals are powerful individual fighters.

Anyway, the enemy forces attack from different directions, and although special items are used to lessen the damage from the heat overall, the main protection comes from the various bard heroes/champions from the Holy Kingdom who provide support abilities. The power and numbers of the invaders is enough that the dungeon monsters can't stop them. So the "puzzles" he set, which slowly separate the enemy forces by only allowing certain numbers of people to move across areas, are used to split up the allied invaders, and force them through (teleporters to?) weaker dungeons that Rou owns. This is how he gets Iron Rock Hero safely in the gambling dungeon and how he gets Insect Champion, Meal Hero and Wolf Champion separated from their groups. Also, he starts using his forces to set ambushes and whittle down the enemies... basically with trench warfare, I think. But the quality of the opponents are enough that this isn't a one-sided slaughter. Four of his Eighteen Demon Warlords supported the ambush, so it wasn't a complete route, regardless. After the ambush, the invaders crush some dungeon bosses. Avenger fights Insect Champion, Netsuoni's group fights Wolf Champion, Iron Rock gets stuck in the casino and Rou confronts Meal Hero to force him into switching sides. Which he does. The invading forces finally meet up again, and they camp for the night. Four enemy elites (heroes/champions) were killed, including both Insect Champion and Wolf Champion. So hooray! Good job, Avenger, Netsuoni! Also it seems Rou automatically gets the treasure rewards for their defeat, since it happened in his dungeon?

337: Rou enjoys a breakfast made by Meal Hero, is instantly glad he captured the guy, and then talks about the arena he made for the final confrontation between Parabellum and the invaders. By the way, it's just Rou and the 8 Demon Generals fighting on Parabellum's side, now. They wait in fancy looking thrones while the enemies approach, playing up the whole "world nemesis/demon king" angle. Rou opens things up with his strongest version of offensive roaring, and notices that all his Demon Generals have "true names" now. The Saints, and Savior hold off the effects of Rou's roar, because otherwise he might have nearly wiped out the enemy forces with it alone. Lionel, the Beast King, roars back at Rou (nothing special about his roar though) and he apparently can go super-saiyan, since he covers himself in a golden light to empower himself. Hyulton(?), the Demon Emperor, summons monsters from hell to prepare for combat, namely White Dragon Asmodeus the Corrupted. The two manage to shield their armies from Rou's yell with their powers.

Rou takes out liquor, because today is all about his Eight Demon Generals getting their fun. Minokichi decides to fight Lionel, Asue supports him by basically challenging the rest of the Beast Kingdom's forces. Kanami decides that she's interested in the taste of the Demon Emperor's blood... and Rou is a little worried/jealous. Burasato challenges one flank of the allied human forces, and Supesei(?) challenges the other. Seiji, Kugime and Irofu set themselves up between the other forces, basically to whittle down the excess enemies, and to pick off any elites that break away... Irofu immediately breaks away though, because there's another fujoshi in the enemy forces. She and her fellow fujoshi disappear from the battlefield at some point and are probably best friends by the end of the war. White Birth Savior provides whole ARMY buffs to the allied forces and things kick off. By the end of the day, a hero and a champion were killed. Rou figures Parabellum will do better starting tomorrow.

338: This war is super chaotic and colorful. If there's ever an anime, then this part will require a budget. Total number of mooks killed would be roughly 40%. The enemies are troublesome due to White Birth Savior's combat buffs. The reason Rou wasn't fighting yesterday was that his friends begged him to let them have their fun first. Rou stands up from his chair, catches a "magic metal" arrow with his teeth, eats it and considers how to start fighting. He checks out Minokichi's fight with Lionel, which is apparently a DBZ looking thing. Lionel has an edge in skill, but Minokichi has an edge in raw stats and magic items. Kanami's fight is weirder, and is basically her covering parts of the volcano in ice while summoning monsters to fight Hyulton's, who is fighting with some sort of living miasma and his own summons. So it's more like MtG I guess? Kanami has the advantage for now, since Hyulton keeps having to use his trump card, Asmodeus, whenever she presses an advantage, and the poor thing will tire eventually. Asue is handling the elites from Beast Kingdom and Demon Empire through rapid reconstruction of the battlefield to only fight a few at a time, so she's fine too. Plus they lack the strength to deal real damage to her in her current state, so all they can do is take up time.

Burasato and Supesei have been fighting a LOT of elites, but they are both well equipped for that. And they seem to really enjoy the slaughter. Seiji and Kugime have set up basically... a fortified sniper-den. Seiji creating forcefields with small gaps and Kugime blasting enemies with her eyebeams through the gaps. It sounds like a cool scene, with her predicting where the enemies will be, and him reinforcing the barrier to intercept attacks. Irofu is trying to convert her fellow gay-man enthusiast, and both she, and the "Rotten Hero's" entire party have disappeared.

Rou joins the fight, White Birth Savior is a creepy yandere. By the end of the day, eight heroes and six champions are dead.

339: Lionel and Hyulton both brought out their treasures to try and turn the tide, but Kanami and Minokichi are unphased by it. Rou notes that he's currently fighting hundreds of heroes and champions. How? Well it seems that is one of the trump cards of a Cardinal, who can summon legends from their book to fight. Former heroes of historical importance and such. The other Cardinals are tough too, one had a probability power to create an instant kill touch which Rou was careful of. White Birth Savior's trump card is shown off, she can create a seemingly endless number of "clones" of the deceased. The clones are lower powered and less intelligent, but they are still being buffed by WBS and she can just keep making them as long as she has some hair or skin or meat or something from them. So all the heroes that Rou killed are replaced with a larger number of slightly weaker ones. WBS also uses her magic to give them equipment. Rou starts to get serious, and injures both of the Saints (I think? Probably didn't want clones of them running around). The masses of hero/champion clones are troublesome though, and he starts to worry about long range fighters throwing giant attacks at him. The Cardinals launch a suprise attack, manage to pin Rou down, pierce one of his hearts, chop off his head and kill him.

Well, it was a trap he set to get them to come close to him, so he recovers and gets some kills. But he's starting to be worn down. And WBS is reviving giant/legendary monsters now, including Dragon Emperor level enemies. So Rou uses his onitama, which melt over his body and we don't see the rest. But the war is over! WBS and the Saints turned to ash before Rou could eat them, WBS promising that she'll continue to be reborn and chase after Rou until he's dead which is creepy, but they provided him with MANY hero corpses. He got treasures from killing all the actual heroes, but not the clones or historical ones.

340: The rest of the invading forces are mopped up. A number of Parabellum soldiers were killed, but a number also ranked-up into new evolutions... and more than a few got revenge. Rou throws a party, and holds off on eating human flesh since Red Head, and Avenger are hanging around, which means we don't get a list of new abilities/powers from eating the masses of corpses. They eat dragon and seafood instead. Meal Hero is Rou's favorite recruit, I think. The Holy War is over, Rou gets a treasure chest (currently unopened), a key, some high quality wine casks and the "right" to travel to the "dark continent." He gets drunk with everyone.
