Rimuru's PoV
I am inside the hall of the chief of lizardmen. From the orc side nearly 10 orcs along with the son of the orc lord was attending the meeting.
Treyni: Then hereby, I mark the start of the meeting.
Chief: One moment, Rimuru-sama.
Rimuru: What is it?
Chief: Treyni-sama kneeled in front of you. Could it be....?
Treyni: Yes. That is right. Rimuru-sama is my master.
Chief: Is that so?
Both me and Treyni smile at each other but our smile were filled with hostility. I thought subordinates helped their master. Treyni is just dumping all her work on me.
Chief: Then, Rimuru-sama, may I propose something?
Rimuru: What is it?
I feel something troublesome is going to happen.
Chief: We, the lizardmen, will like to acknowledge you as our new master.
Yep. Guessed it. Great. More work for me. At least this makes my plan to take orcs as labor force easier.
Rimuru: Very well. As a sign that you are my subordinate. I will name you Abiru. And your daughter will be Souka.
Well then about the orcs.
Unnamed Geld: Please forgive our brethren. All of us will give our lives so please atleast live the children live.
Rimuru: Sins are not that easy to cleanse you know. But it is not impossible either.
Unnamed Geld: What do you mean Rimuru-sama?
Rimuru: Simple. Right now you are all technically slaves. For the next 1 month I will guarentee you safe food and houses. In return you must provide labor. If your work is suitable, I will make you citizens of my country. Also, I will now officially establish a country named Kingdom of Tempest. Everyone in the country will be equal regardless of race. Lizardmen will provide food, Ogre village will provide the finished products while orcs will provide labor. Is that understood?
Everyone: Hai
Rimuru: I dont tolerate slackers. So work hard.
2 months later
3rd Person POV
In Dwargon
In a secret room, a meeting is being held. Around a circular table, one seat was more intricate than the others. The person sitting on the seat was none other that the king of Dwargon, Gazel Dwargo.
Gazel: So you are saying a humanoid creature killed the orc lord? But you cannot identify race. Is that right Henrietta.
Henrietta: Hai. He had golden eyes and blue hair. The way how he glanced at me and smiled, there is a high chance he had noticed me, but decided not to take action.
Minister1: Your Majesty, I believe we should eliminate this monster before it becomes a menace.
Minster 2 and 3: we also agree, Your Majesty.
Gazel: Hmmmm...... What do you think Dorf and Jaine?
Dorf: Your Majesty, I believe that we should avoid open hostility.
Jaine: I agree, Your majesty.
Gazel: Very well. I will go and meet this guy and decide whether or not he is a menace to this world. Prepare the Pegasus Knights, Dorf.
Meanwhile, In Jistav
Four people are sitting, looking at the crystal ball. The fight was very close. The kijins barely won by killing the orc lord. Or that is how it appeared to Clayman, Frey and Carrion. Meanwhile to Milim, she saw something completely else with her Milim Eyes. There was a dragon in a human form. He made a quick work of the Orc lord by exploding it from inside out and then devoured him.
Milim decided that she will go to meet him later on. If she goes right now, they might get suspicious and she might not be able to fight him so she decided to wait it out.
Rimuru's POV
These past 2 months went by in a quick rush. A few major things happened.
Firstly, after one month of orcs moving in, I declared them as my citizens and named them. I was more than satisfied with thei work. I mean they got the job that was for 1 month in the first week itself.
Secondly, I met two insectars. They were fighting against a thunder tiger.
Flashback
Unnamed Zegion's POV
Both me and my sister escaped from our world and came to Cardinal world to survive. I thought we would be safe here, but I couldn't have been wrong. The reason is the dead body in front of me. It is a thunder tiger. I barely managed to defeat it but at this rate both me and my sister will die.
Suddenly, a man came towards us. I tried to come in front of my sister to protect her.
Man: You shouldn't move much. You guys are hurt. Let me help you.
Before I could tell him to leave us my sister asked him for help. He agreed to help us and regenerated our bodies and gave us some blackish-grey material. It is most probably a metal, but it is quite strong. He then named me Zegion and my sister Apito. I can't thank him enough. I will definitely get stronger to be of use of him to repay this gratitude.
Rimuru's POV
I decided to help these two. I gave them a part of my metallic body and named them. I then took them to the Dryad's area and let them stay there to protect the treants and at the same time get stronger. I also got an unexpected benefit. Apito could make honey. And her honey was the tastiest I ever had. Even when compared to my previous life.
Flashback cover
Rimuru's POV
I was wandering around when Souie appeared in front of me and told me that nearly 500 pegasus were flying towards us and they were ridden by knights. They appeared to be from Dwargon. So I came to meet them along with Shion,Benimaru, Akamaru and Souie. The others would just be in the way.
Leader: So you are Rimuru Tempest. I have heard that you defeated the Orc lord. Oh, my name is Gazel Dwargo. I am the king of Dwargon.
Rimuru: I see. It is good to make your acquaintances. I am Rimuru Tempest, leader of this monster country and ruler of this forest.
Gazel: Ruler of the forest,huh? Let's see how much of it is true.
Suddenly Treyni appeared beside me and kneeled.
Treyni: Rimuru-sama, let me be the judge of this duel.
Rimuru: Very well. Come on Gazel. You want to see whether I am evil or not. The best way to do so would be to cross swords with me isn't it?
Gazel: Hoh! That is correct. Very well then, let's fight.
3rd Person POV
Both Rimuru and Gazel exchange swords for a few minutes before Gazel backs off.
Gazel: Rimuru, you really are strong. If you can stop my next attack then it's your win.
Rimuru: Very well. Let's go.
After that Gazel used his strongest skill and slashed at Rimuru twice. Once from below and then from above. Rimuru blocks both. Gazel backs off and sheaths his swords.
Gazel: Hahaha. Very good Rimuru. You were holding back into he fight weren't you?
Rimuru: No. I was just using my sword skills to fight and not any other skills.
Gazel: Skills are also a part of you. Not using them is equivalent to holding back. Anyway, how did you block my strike?
Rimuru: Ahhh! That is because my teacher also used that attack once.
Hakurou slowly enters the battlefield.
Hakurou: That was magnificent swordsmanship, Rimuru-sama. Hohoho
Gazel: Sword Saint.
Hakurou: You really have grown a lot, your majesty. It seems you have not stopped practicing.
Gazel: I am glad that I am able to impress you.
After that Gazel and Rimuru sign a technological support treaty after Rimuru showed Gazel his 99 percent pure potion or high potions.
After that Gazel left and the next day brought a few scientists led by Vesta and a few blacksmiths and architects led by Kaijin.
Gazel: These are one of the best personnel of Dwargon.
Rimuru: then why did you send them here? Aren't they like national treasures
Gazel: They are but they had entered into a fight with each other causing a lot of damage to civilians. If that wasn't enough, they even started bickering in front of me during their trial. So I decided to punish them with home arrest. But I think they would be of more use here. So I decided to exile them.
Rimuru's POV
More than 2 months have passed since Gazel visited us last. Due to Kaijin and others and the city has grown big enough to be called a capital of a country. I also cast a barrier around the city which will prevent any types of debuffs to monsters and also strengthen them. I hope these peaceful days continue.
-----------
That is it for this chapter. There will be a gap of 2 months between the visit of Gazel and Milim. Also in this fic Milim will actually be smart but hiding behind the facade of that playful child. More will be explained later. Anyhow enjoy. Dont forget to vote and follow me.
