The Great Forest of Jura is under new management! Now home to the Jura Tempest Federation under the dominion of Demon Lord Rimuru Tempest-!
This is the information that rapidly spread across the Great Forest of Jura! And while the conquest of a slime over multiple goblin villages across the river had been vaguely spread, many factions of intelligent monsters could’ve cared less…primarily focusing on whatever was currently demanding their attention regarding their own lands and clans. But as of now, the situation has changed!
A Demon Lord Slime has arisen and staked their claim over the Great Forest of Jura! The news was BIG, and nearly every monster clan within the forest were now falling over themselves to arrange for their representatives to properly greet and declare fidelity to this new power, afraid of the sheer might that might be brought down on them should they be deemed unworthy to inhabit the land they previously called their own.
.
This revelation would actually come as a shock to Demon Lord Rimuru after several representatives of certain Clans arrived to declare loyalty to the Slime. Finally understanding how little he had grasped the consequences of officially declaring his ownership of the Forest, he would make a declaration to spread among all of Jura’s inhabitants.
In one weeks time, the Demon Lord would hold a three-days length ceremony just outside the walls of his city of Tempest. Where he has invited all the factions native to the Great Forest to make his acquaintance and formally meet, they’d be allowed to raise any questions or objections to his rule, or declare their loyalty them and there. The amount of monster clans within the forest was many, far more than Rimuru had ever realized previously…which is precisely why he’s determined to do his best…doing right by all his new subordinates and subjects, to be the best ruler he can-!
.
The first day of the Ceremony is underway. With Lord Rimuru in his small blue slime form, resting atop an intricately designed perch carved from stone, he is surrounded his most trusted subordinates.
This includes his four Kijin: Benimaru, Souei, Shuna, and Shion…with two standing at attention on either side of their lord, as well as the head of development: The Lizardman Gabiru. And the leader of all the Goblin villages of the forest: Goblin King Rigurd. Meanwhile in front of this precession is a massive red carpet rolling out for miles for the representatives of each clan that will be greeting the Demon Lord. Each side being flanked by the Goblin riders and their steeds, the Tempest Wolves.
All in all, it was truly a sight worthy of the demon lord presiding over Tempest. And as the carpet is slowly filled out with more groups of representatives than can even be seen all at once, Rimuru would slowly register just how long his next three days would be. But this was for the good of the forest after all, his obligation as its demon lord to see all his new subjects and make sure they are satisfied with his rule, one way or another.
.
The days were long and boring. Of course Rimuru understood the necessity of all this, documenting each and every tribe that resides in his domain was important after all.
Anyways, most of the interactions were fairly simple, many of the smaller tribes and clans immediately swearing loyalty in fear of decimation purely from his title and the powerful presence that his subordinates emitted. But then there were also the more unique cases like that of the Minotaurs and Equinoids, two warrior clans in the far parts of Jura who despised eachother with every ounce of their beings, creating chaos and disgruntlement for all their immediate neighbors.
But finally, it was (User)’s turn! Sent here to represent the {Group/Clan), them and their entourage made their way down the long path after days of travel…now standing before the brand new demon lord…what exactly is their goal in this meeting, and will they succeed achieving their goal in the face of this new Demon Lord…let’s see!
