Chương 210: Brother Cheng, you're not going to sell your body, are you?

"Lord Yangcheng, who is she?"

Claire's haughty attitude undoubtedly made the other monsters present quite unhappy.

Previously, they all thought that Claire, who was standing behind Yang Cheng, was a monster named by Yang Cheng, but now it seems that she is not.

And if they heard correctly, the other party seemed to have just said "our Tianyi Kingdom" — So that means the other party is a cadre or something from the Tianyi Kingdom.

"My name is Claire. I am in charge of managing and commanding the army of the Skywing Kingdom, and I am also one of Lady Frey's most trusted confidantes."

Seeing Claire's confident demeanor, the other monsters present also showed a look of realization, and were no longer angry about her previous arrogant attitude.

After all, in their eyes, it was normal for Claire to be arrogant. She came from the Demon King's forces and was the Demon King's most trusted subordinate. She had the right to be arrogant.

Furthermore, Claire looks down on the monsters in the Jura Forest and considers them inferior, so it's normal for her to have such a view.

Just like Phoebe, one of the "Three Beast Warriors" of the Beast Kingdom, when he first came to the Jura Forest, he arrogantly demanded that Rimuru accept the rule of their Beast Kingdom.

As cadres under the Demon King's forces, they naturally possessed a certain sense of superiority, and besides, there really weren't any particularly formidable monsters in the Jura Great Forest.

If it weren't for Rimuru's insane naming that caused the monsters here to surge in strength, just one of the Three Beast Warriors, or Claire and Rukia from the Skywing Kingdom, would have been enough to sweep through the entire Jura Forest.

"Our Tianyi Congress only established diplomatic relations with a rabble like yours because of Yang Cheng—oh dear!"

Before Claire could finish her proud words, she received a chop to the head.

The person who made the move was none other than Yang Cheng, who stood behind him with an annoyed expression.

"Claire, I'm also the vice leader of the Monster Federation. When you say they're a rabble, you're including me in that."

"No, Lord Yangcheng is certainly different from them. I was just saying—"

"Alright, alright, now that the Pig-Headed Emperor has been dealt with, we no longer need your help here."

"You should return to Tianyi Kingdom first and report to Frey about my decision to have Tianyi Kingdom establish diplomatic relations with the Demon Federation."

The Demon King's subordinates were arrogant, which was expected by everyone. However, Yang Cheng's treatment of the Demon King's subordinates as if they were his sons was something that the monsters of the Jura Great Forest present found somewhat intriguing.

Previously, they all thought that Yang Cheng had only negotiated with Tianyi Kingdom and thus obtained their assistance.

But now it seems that the situation is clearly not like that.

This is both reprimanding the Demon King's subordinates and representing the Tianyi Kingdom. This can't just be described as a good relationship; this is practically one of their own!

"Brother Yang Cheng—oh no, Brother Cheng, how did you manage to do that?"

That Frey is one of the Demon Lords, and you've only been gone a few days, so why are you able to—wait, the Sky Queen means the other party is a female Demon Lord, right?

To help us, you wouldn't sell your body, would you?

Rimuru had barely finished speaking when he was punched by Yosei and slammed into the wall, looking like a snot-covered clod of dirt stuck to it.

Shuna and Shion, who were standing nearby, looked at Yosei with worry after hearing Rimuru's words and said, "Lord Yosei, in order to find reinforcements, you really risked the Sky Queen's life—"

"Don't let this lustful jelly lead you astray. I've only reached a certain cooperation agreement with the Sky Queen, and it's based on my strength and personal charm."

How could I possibly sell my body and soul!

Hearing Yang Cheng's explanation, Zhu Cai and Shi Yuan were completely relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the other monsters present, they didn't care whether Yang Cheng sold his body to establish friendly relations with Tianyi Kingdom.

The key point is that their current vice leader not only has a good relationship with the Skywing Kingdom, but also holds a certain status. This alone is a good thing for the entire Demon Federation.

Heavenly Wing Kingdom, Felbrogia.

After returning to the castle from the Jura Forest, Claire reported all the details of the trip to Frey.

"So, in other words, even if Yang Cheng and you didn't make it there in the end, the original fighting strength of the Jura Great Forest would have been enough to defeat the Pig-Headed Emperor and Clayman's subordinates?"

"Well, that's about it. Compared to when we went to recruit the Tengu Clan last time, the monsters in the Jura Forest seem to have improved a lot in overall strength."

And that slime named Rimuru, the one who defeated the Orc Lord who had transformed into a Demon Lord, and apparently, he's also a friend of Lord Yuumasa.

Previously, Frey had only set her sights on the Tengu clan of the Jura Great Forest, and hadn't paid much attention to the other monsters.

After all, the Tengu clan is considered one of the strongest monster races in the Jura Forest.

When Yang Cheng came to Tianyi Kingdom to seek cooperation with her, she still believed that Yang Cheng was simply there to ask for help.

But now it seems that Frey was clearly mistaken. If what Yosei saw in the "future" is true, then Rimuru and Monster Union are obviously super potential stocks.

It was right for Yang Cheng to establish diplomatic relations with them on behalf of Tianyi Kingdom. In fact, in another year or two, Tianyi Kingdom might be the one to benefit and curry favor.

"Does Lady Frey also think that Lord Yangcheng is too lenient with the monsters in his hometown?"

Lady Frey has now become an awakened demon king, and our Heavenly Wing Kingdom has thus greatly increased in strength.

"What right does a mere rabble of a demon federation have to establish equal diplomatic relations with us? I think they should become our vassals and accept our protection."

Frey did not blame Claire for her shortsightedness; only she knew the "future" that Yang Cheng spoke of.

If Frey hadn't known everything beforehand, she probably would have had similar thoughts to Claire now.

"Do everything as Yang Cheng said. If the Demon Federation needs help, you should do your best to help them."

"Also, go ask Yang Cheng if the Demon Federation can have another vice-leader or deacon-like management position. I'm quite interested in that."

According to Yang Cheng's vision of the future, the Monster Federation will eventually become a behemoth.

Investing now before the other party becomes successful is the only way to secure a strong foothold later.

However, Rukia and Claire, unaware of the deeper meaning, thought that their Sky Queen must have gone mad when they heard Frey's words.

One of the Ten Great Demon Kings, going to be a manager in such a remote corner, and not even the top leader, just a cadre?

Claire: "(he) I think Lady Frey is definitely hopelessly infatuated with Lord Yangcheng's good looks."

Rukia: "(~—~;) This isn't surprising, really. Lady Frey is about to be single for hundreds of years, and now—" Claire and Lucia were still gossiping and whispering among themselves when a gust of wind blew them both away from the castle.
