In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

Gransta looked up at the sky with a grim expression. Many winged dragons were circling overhead, and the knights on their backs exuded B-rank strength.

"Is King Gazel provoking us?"

Rimuru's expression was equally grim.

In no time, the arena was filled with people, all looking up at the sky with grim expressions.

Benimaru, leading the demons, quickly arrived at Gransta's side, his face filled with solemnity.

Ziyuan, her face full of anger, spoke up in dissatisfaction.

"My lords, shall we take these arrogant fellows down?"

As he spoke, he took out the Demon-Slaying Greatsword, looking eager to try it out.

"This...it's not really a good idea to resort to violence!"

Rimuru was undecided for a moment, but deep down he still didn't really want to have a conflict.

Gransta stared at the Flying Knights hovering overhead for a long time, as if they were also observing everything in the town from high above.

However, preventative measures should still be taken.

"Let's prepare for the worst and see what they're up to."

"Yes!" ✘6

Red Maru, Soei, and Bai Lao silently stood behind Gransta, while Long Xueqing and Zhu Lai appeared beside Gransta at the same time.

Behind Rimuru were Shion's guards, Rigurd, Gobuta, and others.

The lineup was incredibly impressive, they were fully prepared, and the aura they exuded was extremely powerful.

At this time

A dwarf suddenly ran out of the town, jogging along while looking up at the dark mass of flying knights in the sky, his face filled with horror.

"The entire Flying Knights have been mobilized... could it be...?"

Rimuru looked at Kaijin, who was jogging over and panting, with some confusion.

"Kakin, I didn't expect you to come too. It's still quite dangerous here."

Kaijin greeted the two adults standing in front of him, then glanced at the crowd behind them, sensing their subtly powerful aura.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips, and he couldn't help but say to the two adults.

"Lord Gransta and Lord Rimuru, may I ask you something?"

"Oh, Kekin, just tell me!"

Rimuru knew that Kaijin was in a difficult position between them and could understand him.

"Thank you very much, Lord Rimuru."

After finishing speaking, Kaijin looked in the direction of the Flying Knights with a solemn expression.

"I never expected King Gazel to come in person this time. Please believe me, King Gazel is a wise king and would never suddenly resort to force."

He wasn't worried about the two gentlemen, but rather about King Gazel and his group, since they were former colleagues.

Kaijin knew all too well how terrifying the two masters were, not to mention their subordinates, each one of them terrifying. He was afraid they might misunderstand something and cause the entire Flying Knights to be wiped out.

Rimuru patted Keijin on the shoulder, offering words of comfort.

"Kakin, I understand you. I also hope that everyone can sit down and talk things over. It would be best if war could be avoided."

Granstad smiled calmly at Kekin.

"Kakin, I know a bit about that guy Gazel. Although he's ruthless, he's a pretty honest person."

Since the two lords had said so, Kaijin breathed a sigh of relief and could only pray that King Gazel would not do anything excessive.

In contrast, the Flying Knights, who were hovering high in the sky, remained in mid-air, perfectly synchronized.

A knight commander with short blond hair arrived beside Gazel on a two-winged dragon and spoke solemnly.

"Your Majesty, it is hard to imagine that these monsters could build such a sophisticated town."

Then they turned their attention to the town below.

"I originally wanted to lead the Knights to explore the city's core area, but we were blocked by a light blue barrier."

After saying that, he pointed in a direction.

King Gazel looked in the direction the short-haired golden knight commander was pointing.

A castle made of ice sculptures gleamed in the sunlight, shimmering with a cold, icy light.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gazel's eyes, but he was quickly drawn to a snow-capped mountain nearby.

"This snow-capped mountain has a strange aura; why do I have a vague feeling of danger?"

A faint barrier enveloped the center of that snow-capped mountain.

Gazel subtly withdrew his gaze and looked at the group of people standing in the arena below. He could feel that the magical aura of these people had formed a kind of oppressive force.

There was also a familiar figure among them.

"Come, land with me!"

Gazel took the lead and plummeted downwards, with the knights following closely behind.

Step~

As soon as he landed on the ground, Gazel dismounted and looked at the wary crowd in front of him with a dignified gaze.

When Kaijin saw Gazel land, he quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and showed the highest respect to his former superior.

"My lord, it's been a long time!"

"Oh, it's Kaikin. You're no longer under my command, so there's no need for you to bow."

Gazel looked at his former subordinate and saw that he was in excellent spirits, so he must be doing well here. He couldn't help but sigh.

Kakin remained unmoved and stood up after bowing.

"My king, even though I have left you, you still hold a very high place in my heart."

Gazel smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Gransta and the others who were approaching.

"Isn't this the Ice Elf Lady? It's incredible that we've met again in this way since our last battle."

As he spoke, he recalled the battle that had taken place in the skies above the Dwarf Kingdom.

His face was filled with emotion.

Benimaru and the others couldn't help but glance at Lord Gransta's expression, surprised that their master actually knew this legendary Hero King.

Rimuru wasn't surprised; instead, he carefully observed the knights behind Gazel.

Gulansta smiled slightly, a playful curve appearing at the corners of his mouth.

"I vaguely remember the scene where you showed no martial ethics and relied on your mind-reading ability to gain the upper hand."

Disregarding martial ethics?

The short-haired, golden-haired knight commander following behind Gazel looked at his king with surprise upon hearing this. He had also appeared at the last moment during that battle.

Therefore, he was unaware of the specific details of the battle. Could it be that His Majesty would launch a sneak attack?

Gazel's face immediately hardened.

"Cough cough..."

"There's no need to go into the details of that battle; it's all in the past."

He calmly addressed the topic.

Gazel straightened his expression, his dark face revealing a scrutinizing look.

"You once said you would build a kingdom made of monsters in the Great Forest of Jura, and I never thought you would actually do it."

"I suppose you are the ruler of this monster kingdom! I've come here to see how dangerous you are."

Gazel spoke in a deep tone.

However, Gransta shook his head, turned his head to the side, and pouted.

Gazel looked in the direction Granstas was pointing, puzzled.

"what?"
