Today was an important day in Tempest, and the city was bustling about. Rigurd, the acting Mayor of the city, was tirelessly whipping everyone in the city to be on their best behavior as people from other villages were going to visit them and the last thing Rigurd wanted was for people from Tempest to ruin the reputation of their beloved lord, Rimuru.

By afternoon, the expected guests had already arrived and were waiting for Rimuru in the meeting room, half an hour before the designated time. After all, the last thing they wanted to do was offend the man who could destroy their existence and homes with just a thought.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, as each representative cast wary glances around, silently gauging their soon-to-be allies. Until recently, they would have been at each other's throats for a variety of reasons, but now here they were, sitting under the same roof, waiting for the man they were about to serve.

Just then, the door of the room swung open, and an oppressive aura filled the room as Rimuru entered, flanked by three beautiful women. One was a rabbit-eared girl, the second was a black-haired human with a strong aura, and the last was a white-haired demon they had all interacted with the most.

Taking the seat at the head of the table, Rimuru sat down with Shizu taking a seat on his right while Framea sat on his left. He then glanced over everyone before leaning back and gesturing to Testarossa who stood behind him, along with Rigurd, to commence.

Testarossa stepped forward, her smile warm yet not a single soul except for Rimuru and his aides felt at ease under her gaze. "Greetings, esteemed guests and allies of Tempest," she began. "Today, we are here to discuss the formation of the Jura Tempest Federation under the leadership of Lord Rimuru Tempest. Please keep all discussions civil and express any concerns or objections by raising your hand." She then gestured to the attendees, introducing each in turn.

"First, representing the Orc tribe, is the new leader, Geld." A towering Orc rose to his feet, bowing respectfully. Some attendees eyed him warily, particularly the Ogres who bore fresh memories of the Orcs' invasion. After Geld's people had settled in the camps outside Tempest, Rimuru had personally visited him and told him to attend this meeting before naming him Geld, after his brother, as a sign of trust in him and his people. Overcome with emotion, Geld knelt before Rimuru, vowing undying loyalty for himself and his tribe.

"Next, representing the Lizardmen Village is its chief, accompanied by his daughter," Testarossa continued. An elderly Lizardman rose, bowing alongside his daughter. Internally, the elderly Lizardman sighed, since he wanted to bring his son to this as well but decided against it. He didn't want his son to say something rude to Rimuru, only for the other party to make an example out of him.

"Now, representing the Ogre Village is Lady Edelgard, joined by her children and the village elder." The group rose and bowed, though their gazes briefly flickered toward Geld. Edelgard knew that two of her children, as well as guards standing behind her, were glaring at Geld. However, she had already warned them not to do anything, as Rimuru had expressed his wish to take the Orcs under his rule. She understood that not everyone was pleased with this decision, but she had made it clear to everyone in the village that they would have to accept it or leave, as long as she remained the leader.

"Next, representing the Dryads are Treyni and her sisters, Doris and Trya," Testarossa announced as the three sisters stood up elegantly and bowed to the room. Rimuru had already informed them about his intentions of taking over the forest, and with Veldora's disappearance, they had no objection to Rimuru's decision. He had been kind to them so far and was willing to protect them and the forest.
