Chương 209: Yang Cheng: Then I'll represent the Tianyi Kingdom.

"What's wrong with that? The leader of the Demon Federation must be very handsome!"

"Besides, we're reincarnated beings. A few modern management concepts we implement would be enough to shock them for a hundred years. Why would you worry about not being able to lead a bunch of not-so-bright monsters?"

Rimuru felt that Yang Cheng's advice made some sense, but for some reason, he still felt that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, my wish is to live a slow life in another world. If I become the leader of this so-called Demon Federation, won't I be targeted by other demon lords?"

"And as for being the leader of the alliance, Brother Yang Cheng, you could easily do that too, right? You're just trying to trick me!"

As if struck by a thought, Rimuru suddenly popped several exclamation marks onto his round, jelly-like head.

"Tsk, so they noticed—" Rimuru: "(·A·)" Brother Yangcheng, you were really surprised just now, absolutely surprised, right? As expected of this leader of the alliance and all that —" Before Rimuru could finish speaking, Yang Cheng had already brought his head close to Jelly's face and whispered, "I also want to be the leader, but it's obvious that you are the one everyone wants right now."

Furthermore, the Jura Forest used to be under the protection of the Storm Dragon, but now that the Storm Dragon has suddenly disappeared, don't you think you should be held responsible for this?"

"Brother Yangcheng, do you know why Velu—the Storm Dragon—has disappeared?"

When the topic of the Storm Dragon's sudden disappearance came up, Rimuru was clearly a little guilty.

To be honest, he never expected that swallowing Verudela would cause so many chain reactions.

It turns out it wasn't that the goblin village had bad feng shui; it was just that ever since he swallowed Veldora, he himself had become the eye of the storm.

"I'm not stupid. Only the two of us intelligent monsters were born in the Storm Dragon Cave. I've never even seen a Storm Dragon, so the problem can only be with you."

"And becoming the leader of the Monster Federation would make your infrastructure work much easier, right? Those orc tribes would also be properly taken care of."

Under Yang Cheng's persuasion, Rimuru finally became the leader of the Jura Forest Monster Federation.

However, the cunning Jelly, in order to drag Yang Cheng into the mess, recommended that Yang Cheng become the so-called vice leader.

Yang Cheng was also born in the Jura Forest. Not only is his strength evident to all, but he is also Rimuru's close friend. Naturally, everyone gives him a lot of face and expresses their approval.

Gazel Dovag, standing to the side, glanced at Rimuru, then at Yang Cheng beside him who looked helpless. Realizing that the so-called Monster Federation was a potential asset, he also stood up.

"Therefore, I, as King Gazel Dovag of the Armed Kingdom of Dovagon, hereby announce the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Monster Federation of the Jura Great Forest."

"I hope we can have more trade in the future. The Jura Forest is rich in minerals, and your potions are excellent. We should be able to exchange them for a large amount of food resources in our country."

King Gazel's words undoubtedly pleased Rimuru greatly. Although the matter of the Orcs had been resolved, the food shortage in the Jura Forest remained a major problem.

Feeding 50, 000 pig-headed people is no easy task, and the fact that Dowagon can share the burden is undoubtedly a great help to them.

"In that case, I will also represent the Skywing Kingdom of Fermbrogia to establish diplomatic relations with the Monster Federation."

If long-distance transportation is required, I think there's no one faster than the Skywing Clan.

Rimuru and King Gazel, who were shaking hands, along with the other monsters present, were all shocked by what Yang Cheng suddenly said.

No, to be precise, Rimuru looked bewildered because he didn't know what this so-called Skywing Kingdom, Felbrogia, was.

Just because Rimuru lacks common sense and doesn't know about the Skywing Kingdom's Felbrogia doesn't mean that everyone else present does too.

Seeing Rimuru's bewildered expression, Rigurd, with great tact, stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "Lord Rimuru, the Kingdom of Heavenly Wings, Fermbrogia, is a Demon King's territory."

The ruler of the Skywing Kingdom is none other than the Sky Queen Frey, one of the Ten Great Demon Kings.

The Armed Kingdom of Dowagong is a fairly strong nation among the human kingdoms, but it is clearly inferior to the Skywing Kingdom ruled by the Demon King.

The other demon clan leaders around them were also quite excited to hear that the Skywing Kingdom was willing to establish diplomatic relations with them.

The fact that they established diplomatic relations with the Demon King's forces indicates that the other party not only acknowledges the existence of their Demon Federation but is also willing to befriend them.

Putting aside other aspects, if they were to clash with other forces in the future, they would undoubtedly gain a powerful ally.

No, the fact that their Demon Federation can establish diplomatic relations with the Demon King's forces is enough to deter many ambitious individuals.

After all, in the eyes of many humans and monsters, the title of Demon King is still quite prestigious!

"Brother Yang Cheng, you say you can represent the Heavenly Wing Kingdom's Fermbrogia?"

Upon learning that the Heavenly Wing Kingdom was actually a power ruled by the Demon King, Rimuru looked at Yang Cheng in surprise and asked for confirmation.

Not only Rimuru, but Benimaru and the others also looked at Yang Cheng with puzzled expressions.

As far as they knew, Yang Cheng should have only left the Jura Great Forest a few days ago, right?

They went out to seek help before, so Rimuru and the others didn't pay much attention. But now, out of the blue, they've directly approached a Demon Lord's faction!

"Lord Yangcheng is naturally qualified to represent our Tianyi Kingdom. You country bumpkins should feel fortunate that this is Lord Yangcheng's hometown, so you can accept the protection of our Tianyi Kingdom and Lady Frey."

Before Yang Cheng could speak, Claire, who had been standing behind him and was already quite annoyed, finally couldn't help but step forward.

Before leaving Tianyi Kingdom, Frey had instructed Claire to obey Yang Cheng's orders in everything she did.

Claire naturally had no objection to this, after all, Lord Yang Cheng's strength and status had already been unanimously recognized by the Tianyi Kingdom.

What greatly displeased Claire was that these "low-level monsters" from the Jura Forest were far too presumptuous towards Lord Yangcheng!

The idea of monsters banding together to form a federation is not bad, but no matter how you look at it, shouldn't Lord Yang Cheng be the leader of this federation?

That Rimuru is just a mere slime; what makes him worthy of being above Lord Yangcheng?

Originally, Claire had been restraining herself because Lord Yangcheng had humbly relinquished the position of alliance leader. However, these lowly monsters were still repeatedly questioning Lord Yangcheng, which made Claire truly unable to tolerate it.

Being able to defeat the Pig-Headed Emperor is indeed quite remarkable, but in Claire's opinion, it's just that.

The Pig-Headed Emperor is merely a quasi-Demon King who has just obtained the Demon King Seed; he is far inferior to Lord Yangcheng and Lady Frey.

Claire couldn't understand why Lord Yang Cheng was so optimistic about that slime and the Monster Federation, even going so far as to form an alliance with them on behalf of the Skywing Kingdom.
