I am the emperor of Mengwang

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Rimuru put his hands on the table and said arrogantly.

"I thought we were in big trouble. I didn't expect that we are so strong. If that's the case, why should I worry?"

Rimuru muttered as he lazily lay on the table.

“Hahahaha, Rimuru, didn’t I tell you? You don’t have to worry as Ali is here. You don’t believe that Milim-sama will suffer.”

Milim laughed while putting her hands on her hips.

"It's all your fault. If you weren't so strong, I wouldn't have thought that the other demon kings were so strong. It's obviously because of you. And you're still laughing."

Rimuru got so angry when he saw Milim laughing that he immediately put the blame on Milim.

"Is that right?"

Milim put her index finger on her lips and said stupidly.

"That's it."

Seeing Rimuru’s determined expression, Milim was a little shaken.

"You can't blame me for this! It's none of my business if the other demon kings are weak. Besides, there are also strong ones! For example, Guy is not weaker than me. Dagu Shulu and Dino are not weak either! And Leon is not that bad either!"

"It's obviously Carrion and the others who are not doing their best. Why do they care about me?"

Milim pouted as she scolded Karion and the others, not noticing that she was exposing the Demon Kings’ past again.

Milim's words almost completely exposed the strength of the demon kings.

"Okay, okay, let's stop here and don't delve into it any further."

Mo Li waved his hand to signal that this was the end.

"understood."

Rimuru and Milim didn't dare to refute what Mo Li said.

"Okay, Rimuru, I want to discuss something with you."

Mo Li seemed to have thought of something and said to Rimuru beside him.

"Ali, what about my weapon?"

Before Rimuru could say anything, Milim interrupted.

Looking at Milim's watery eyes, Mo Li admitted defeat.

"Okay, you'll need weapons. I'll have Kaijin make them for you in a bit. Okay, at this time, the meal should be almost ready. Go take a look."

Mo Li stroked his head and said to Milim.

"Thank you, Ali."

Milim said as she rushed into Mo Li's arms and gave him a big hug. Then she jumped out at lightning speed and ran out of the meeting room.

The whole action was so smooth that Rimuru didn't have any chance to react.

"M.L.M.!!!"

Seeing Milim taking advantage of Mo Li again, Rimuru was about to explode.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I have something serious to talk to you about."

Mo Li said as he comforted Rimuru, who looked like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

"Ali, what's the matter? Tell me I want to tear that little devil Milim apart."

Rimuru said with gritted teeth.

"Tempest now occupies almost 30% of the entire Hela Forest, but I still feel that it is not enough, so I am going to send troops to occupy other territories. Ever since Veldora was swallowed by you, the monsters in the entire Hela Forest have been restless."

"The entire Great Hela Forest has almost turned into a battlefield. Tempest is so peaceful because we are protecting it. But the hunting patrols have told me about this problem more than once. Even the tree fairy Toreni has mentioned it to me."

Mo Li said seriously while stroking the teacup.

"I made this decision after careful consideration. I want to wipe out all the forces within the riverbank of the Great Hela Forest, make them submit to us, Tempest, and let them know who is the boss."

When Mo Li said the last sentence, his tone was filled with arrogance that was difficult to conceal.

"Ali, are you saying you want to start another war?"

Rimuru said with some embarrassment.

"That's about right. That's why I came to discuss this with you."

Mo Li said to Rimuru who was standing beside him.

"But, peace and stability are not good enough, why do we have to start a war?"

Rimuru didn't quite understand. Aren't their lives good now? They don't have to worry about food or clothing, and they live in peace. Why do they have to fight?

“Rimuru, my Rock Authority can sense almost everything happening around Tempest. From what I can sense, wars of varying sizes are happening almost every day outside Tempest.”

"I don't like war either, but as long as there is no unity, there will always be war. Every monster race wants to be the boss, but we are strong, so they dare not provoke us."

"Rimuru, we can't live in peace forever. Today, Demon King Karion sent people to test us. Tomorrow, it could be other demon kings who will test us. We have to make ourselves strong enough to not be afraid of other people's threats."

Mo Li stood up and looked out the window, as if he saw a scene from the future.

“Rimuru, do you know? Because of Veldora, the entire Great Urara Forest is extremely rich in resources. Not to mention these monsters, even those powerful demon kings are spying on this place.”

"I don't want to regret it when it's too late to make amends."

Mo Li said to Rimuru with a slightly serious look.

Listening to Mo Li's words, Rimuru fell silent.

It’s not that she doesn’t understand what Mo Li said, but she hates war, she really hates it.

Perhaps seeing Rimuru's concerns, Mo Li sighed.

"How about this? This time I will lead the troops out to recruit monsters to surrender. I will subdue the monsters that are willing to join us, and I will conquer those that are unwilling to join. How about that?"

Mo Li said to Rimuru.

After all, Rimuru is the leader of the Hela Forest Alliance, and Mo Li is only the deputy leader. Mo Li can only discuss this matter with Rimuru.

"And just leave this matter to me. If you don't like war, I will start it. You just need to stay in Tempest, that's all."

"After all, it was decided when the alliance was established that I will be in charge of the outside affairs and you will be in charge of the inside affairs, right?"

Mo Li knew that getting Rimuru to initiate a war would be harder than climbing to the sky.

"Ok."

Rimuru couldn't help but sigh when he heard what Mo Li said.

"Okay, that's all for today."

Mo Li sat down and said to Rimuru who was standing beside him.

Mo Li didn't want to start a war, but now the outside of Tempest is too chaotic. People who go out hunting complain every day, and Xiao has been attacked several times. Although he was not injured, Mo Li is worried! Otherwise, Mo Li would not have decided to conquer the Great Forest of Qila.
