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

Upon hearing Torene's suggestion, everyone nodded solemnly.

The lizardman leader, his aged face revealing a hint of wisdom, was the first to speak, saying, "I believe that only the two of you before me are qualified to be our alliance leader."

This statement resonated with everyone, who nodded in agreement.

Torene pursed her lips slightly, her gaze lingering on Gransta.

The meaning is self-evident.

Rimuru's previously somber expression returned to normal. He glanced at the lizard leader out of the corner of his eye, a meaningful look on his face, and nodded in satisfaction.

The inner monologue is

"This old man finally said something I agree with. With so many opinions on his part... well, I won't contact him after the meeting..."

After the lizard leader finished speaking, he immediately felt the chill on his back disappear and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At such an advanced age, to still be targeted by someone, life is tough.

At this moment, Torene also stood up.

"If that's the case, then the candidates for Alliance Leader are Lord Gransta and Lord Rimuru."

"They successfully defeated and killed the Pig-Headed Emperor in the Great Forest of Jura, saving everyone from disaster, and their achievements are evident to all."

"In accordance with fairness, all alliance members will vote to elect a leader, and from now on we will all obey the leader's orders."

Torene's stern voice echoed through the underground palace.

"The election has officially begun!"

Everyone present began to chatter, their eyes darting between Gransta and Rimuru.

One of the goblin representatives attending the meeting whispered to his companion.

"I think Lord Gransta is super cool, especially the scene where he defeated the Orc Emperor."

"The leader of the alliance is our spiritual leader, and we cannot only value strength."

...

"Wait a moment!"

A voice abruptly interrupted the discussion.

Granstad opened his eyes, which had been squinting, and with his perception, the discussions in the room sounded as noisy as if they were right next to his ear.

This is a real headache.

The current plot doesn't follow the original story at all; they've even added an election element.

The interrupted crowd turned their puzzled gazes toward them, and the room fell silent instantly.

Torene smiled and looked at Gransta.

"Lord Gransta, is there something you wish to say?"

Gransta looked at Torene in front of him, a helpless expression on his face. If he really let them continue with this election, he feared the heavy burden would fall on his shoulders.

Rimuru also looked at Gransta with a strange expression.

【Gransta, what's wrong?】

Don't say anything, leave the rest to me.

Gulansta glanced around at everyone present, his calm gaze sweeping over them.

"I am withdrawing my candidacy for alliance leader."

Treyne covered her mouth in surprise. Everyone was a little taken aback by the reaction, but Rimuru was the most confused.

"What?!"

"Torene asked in a questioning tone."

"Lord Gransta, are you really going to decide on the election of the Alliance Leader?"

"Um"

Gulansta nodded firmly. He was joking, but if he were actually elected, that would be a huge problem, wouldn't it be a departure from his original intention?

"I've also decided to support Rimuru as the leader of this alliance."

"The reason is simple: Rimuru is the head of our village, and I believe everyone can trust Rimuru's leadership abilities."

"Most importantly, during Rimuru's tenure as the head of the town, our town has developed rapidly, from having nothing to being thriving now."

Furthermore, the strength of all members has improved dramatically, all thanks to Rimuru's sacrifice.

Guransta looked serious, as if he were announcing something important.

"So everyone, please trust me, choosing Rimuru Jun was the right choice!"

The soaring sound echoed through the space.

After hearing Lord Gransta's words, everyone looked at the unremarkable slime with surprise and admiration.

"I never expected Lord Rimuru to be so capable; he truly has the makings of a leader."

"No wonder they are so powerful; it's all thanks to Lord Rimuru's wise leadership."

"Impressive! Impressive!"

Seeing that everyone's discussions were starting to focus on Rimuru, they also gained a new understanding of Rimuru.

Especially the lizard leader, who knew how difficult it was to lead a tribe, held Lim in even higher regard.

"I never expected Lord Rimuru..."

Seeing this, Gransta's lips curled into a slight smile.

Then, he felt something gently tugging at his clothes. Curious, he turned his head and saw Rimuru's dazed eyes.

Bubbles were already popping out of the slime's body, and its two little eyes were darting around.

Rimuru was still reeling from Granstas's praise and hadn't quite grasped what was going on.

When did he become so great?

"Gransta, how come I didn't know I actually..."

Gransta covered Rimuru's mouth, placed Rimuru back into Shion's arms, and gestured for Shion to lift him up.

"Didn't I tell you to shut up? Just leave everything to me."

Gulansta solemnly waved for everyone to be quiet, then cleared his throat and continued.

"Therefore, I suggest that Rimuru become the leader of the Jura Forest Alliance."

"Those who agree, please raise your hands!"

At this point, everyone agreed that Rimuru was the best candidate to become the leader of the alliance, especially with Lord Granstas as a guarantor.

He hesitated for only a moment.

They all raised their hands to represent their vote, and even the lizard leader raised his hand without hesitation.

"I believe Lord Rimuru will lead us onto a new path."

"Yes, that's how I feel too."

"Haha, that's right, that's right!"

Gulansta nodded in approval at their high level of awareness.

Just as everyone raised their hands, one person was still hesitating.

She is Torene, and she is currently hesitating. Her original idea was to have Gransta become the leader of the alliance.

She actually favored Gransta more, for no other reason than that Gransta was an elf, while she had originally served the Elf King...

It wasn't until Gransta looked over and saw that Torene hadn't made a decision yet that she finally did.

A telepathic message entered Torene's mind, causing her delicate body to tremble slightly.

She let out a plaintive sigh.

"I agree!"

Torene and Gransta's eyes met, a hint of resentment in Torene's gaze.

"Cough cough..."

Gulansta immediately looked away and touched his nose.

With Treyne's final vote, Rimuru gained everyone's approval and became the leader of the alliance.

Rimuru, who was being held aloft, was still somewhat dazed.

"Ha, everyone..."
