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

The old leader looked at Gaviru kneeling on the ground, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

"Since Lord Rimuru has said so..."

Gabiru's expression also tightened; he hadn't expected the powerful Rimuru to still remember him.

"Then cancel his death sentence and expel him from the Lizardmen race instead. From now on, Gavilu's actions will be none of our concern..."

"Father...."

As soon as the old chieftain finished speaking, two lizardmen soldiers dragged Gavilu away.

...

"Lizardman leader, we can get down to business now."

"Oh, please have a seat."

The old leader invited Rimuru and Gransta to take the seats of honor.

"Actually, we came here to discuss how to deal with these pig-headed soldiers after the war."

Rimuru also explained this to the lizardman leader.

The idea of ​​inviting representatives from all the tribes in the Jura Great Forest to a discussion was expressed, with a special emphasis on the support of the forest stewards.

"Lord Rimuru and Lord Gransta, the post-war arrangements do need to be discussed. We, the Lizard Clan, will provide our support and will definitely arrange a venue for the meeting."

The old leader was also surprised that Rimuru was so amiable, and nodded in agreement.

They just didn't understand how to deal with these problems, considering that the pig-headed soldiers had killed many of their people.

"That's good. Lizard Chieftain, let's discuss this together tomorrow when everyone is here!"

"Um."

Wait until the next day

Cangying and a panting Gobuta returned, accompanied by the tree spirit Miss Torene.

"Lord Rimuru and Lord Gransta, upon hearing the news of your successful defeat of the Orc Lord, I want to express my gratitude on behalf of the Great Forest of Jura."

Torene herself is a large tree, and can only materialize using magical forms, but she had already sensed the great battle with the Orc Emperor.

Therefore, she focused her attention more on Gransta, knowing that it was this very person who had truly defeated the Pig-Headed Emperor.

But there seemed to be a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"Cough cough..."

Gransta felt uncomfortable under Torene's gaze, fearing she would bring up the past again, so he deliberately went outside to avoid her.

"Lord Gransta, I originally planned to bring my sister along; she's been a fan of yours for a long time."

"Torene said with a hint of reproach."

"But considering this is an important discussion, I didn't bring her along..."

Gransta could easily hear the resentment in Torene's tone, and could only give an awkward smile.

"Torene, I'm still thinking about that matter. Why don't you bring her to the ice sculpture castle to see me when you have the chance? Maybe that can dissuade her from her idea."

Torene sighed softly.

"Then that's the only way."

Soon all the members of the meeting had arrived, and everyone took their seats in turn.

At the very top are Rimuru and Gransta, with Gransta even giving a lazy yawn.

He hates attending these kinds of meetings the most. You see, after Rimuru became the Demon Lord, he liked to hold meetings all the time, earning him the nickname "Meeting Demon Lord".

Behind Gransta stood Benimaru, Jurai, Hakuro, and Souei.

Because Shion is Rimuru's secretary, she is currently holding Rimuru in his slime form.

On the left are the forest manager, Torene, the dragonwoman, the lizard leader, and the chief guard.

Those on the right are naturally the subjects to be tried at this meeting; they are the representatives chosen by the remaining pig-headed tribe, one of whom seems to be the son of the pig-headed emperor.

"Now that everyone is here, let me put an end to this farce!"

Rimuru glanced at everyone present and then spoke.

"Since Lord Rimuru has said so, let's begin the trial of the Orcs!"

The lizard leader glanced indifferently at the row of pig-headed generals opposite him; their tribe had almost been wiped out.

Even though the lizardmen gained an advantage in tactics and terrain in this battle, they still lost thousands of lizardmen.

This is a blood feud!

As for the pig-headed generals who were glanced at by the lizard leader, they could only obediently lower their heads. As the defeated side, they had no right to speak.

Seeing the resentment on the lizard chieftain's face, Lim could understand it. He would have been furious too if so many of his kin had died!

But he had already made up his mind, so Rimuru spoke again.

"First of all, I have decided not to pursue the crimes of the remaining pig-headed tribe in this war."

"And the ringleader has already been executed..."

Even if we were to hold the Orcs accountable for their crimes, they wouldn't be able to offer any compensation. They were driven to desperation by a natural disaster and then manipulated by those behind the scenes to launch an invasion war.

"Lord Rimuru, if we do this..."

The lizard leader stood up in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

Rimuru gestured slightly with his small hand, signaling to the old leader not to get agitated.

"Old chieftain, I know your tribe suffered heavy losses in the battle, but have you considered that if you don't deal with these 120,000 pig-headed tribe members properly, chaos will break out again?"

"I guess you could call this a selfish request of mine!"

The lizard leader remained silent for a moment, then sighed and sat back down in his original position.

At this moment, Benimaru stepped forward and interjected.

"The cause of the pig-headed tribe's uprising has been identified. Due to a natural disaster, they had run out of food, which is why they set their sights on the Jura Great Forest..."

Benimaru recounted the results of the post-war investigation to everyone, including the involvement of an unknown demon.

The purpose of this was perhaps to divert everyone's resentment towards the Orcs, and Rimuru understood this as well.

He glanced gratefully at Gransta beside him, knowing that it was Gransta who had instructed Benimaru to suddenly explain.

"If that's the case, then indeed..."

Torene remained silent, observing Gransta and Rimuru's attitudes, knowing that their decisions would determine the final outcome.

They were called to a meeting, supposedly to discuss things, but more accurately, it was to inform everyone.

Torene also glanced at Gransta, who was squinting to the side.

"If this is what this gentleman thinks..."

The meeting suddenly fell silent.

In fact, many people are dissatisfied with this decision, considering how much blood they have shed.

And it was at this time

Old Bai chuckled and stepped forward, opening one eye to look around before finally settling on the lizardman leader.

"Hehe, actually our Great Demon Clan was also destroyed by the Pig-Headed Clan, even more completely."

"Sir, so you..."

"We will obey the will of the two adults in everything, and we will not have any complaints."

Old Bai's words seemed to carry an air of self-righteousness.
