Gazel delivered his declaration calmly; having been a king for hundreds of years, making a speech was easy for him.
Although this so-called declaration was just a formality, he still took it seriously.
Because this would be recorded and spread throughout the world; otherwise, who would believe it?
Draco looked at Rimuru, whose face was a bit pale, and asked, "You didn't forget to prepare a speech, did you?"
"I, I... I forgot..."
Rimuru looked toward Draco with a pleading gaze, his face full of a wronged expression.
This left Draco not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Then I'm afraid I can't help you."
Draco shrugged his shoulders, looking like he was gloating.
He then glanced at Milim on the other side. Seeing her calm face without the slightest hint of nervousness, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Milim, have you thought about what you're going to say in a bit?"
Milim blinked her beautiful eyes and asked back, "Do I even need to think about it?"
"Huh?"
Draco was dumbfounded. Where did this guy's mysterious confidence come from? She hadn't drunk fake wine last night, had she?
Soon, Gazel stepped back, and Milim naturally stepped forward to the front of the stage.
"Everyone, I am Demon Lord Milim Nava!"
"Oh!!!" xN
For a moment, the shouts of the crowd below were deafening.
"It's actually Lady Milim!"
"Uwah~ I finally get to see her in person."
"Lady Milim!!"
"..."
The legend of the Dragon Princess was a household name, and the crowd's admiration for Milim had long existed.
"Everyone!"
Milim raised both hands to quiet them down. "Today I have reached a covenant with the other five nations. If anything happens in the future, you can all come and rely on me!"
Uh... a simple and clear sentence: I'm covering these people.
Draco looked speechlessly at this girl's simple and crude declaration; probably only she could say it out loud.
Amidst everyone's cheers, Milim stepped back.
Afterward, Carrion and Frey stepped forward in turn, completing their speeches with ease.
Draco glanced at the bewildered Rimuru, sighed, and stepped to the front of the stage first.
"Everyone, I have a few brief words."
"Those who offend our six nations, no matter the race, shall be killed! No matter the power, shall be destroyed!"
"There is no need to doubt my words. I am the supreme being of the Nazarick Duchy, and I fear no provocation!"
Draco's voice was forceful and resonant, like a roar of thunder.
This domineering statement struck directly at the hearts of the crowd.
For a moment, the entire square fell silent.
Clap, clap, clap~
Below the stage, Albedo was the first to break the silence and start clapping.
Looking at the domineering Draco on stage, the wings on her back fluttered excitedly without stopping.
"Ah~ This is the majestic presence of the supreme being I serve! Ah~~"
Albedo's eyes sparkled, and her face was flushed.
Only then did the crowd react and begin to clap one after another.
Draco walked back on his own, then pulled out a speech script and tossed it to Rimuru.
"This is the speech script I had carefully prepared for myself. Take it."
Rimuru was stunned. Taking the script, tears suddenly flickered in his eyes, and he was so moved he didn't know what to say.
"Big brother!! You are my real brother, I'm so touched..."
Thinking that Draco actually gave up his own speech for him, Rimuru almost cried.
Draco rolled his eyes. "Hurry up and get out there, stop talking nonsense."
"Okay, big brother!"
Rimuru wiped away a tear, swallowed the speech script, and went straight forward to start reading.
"...In the future, I hope that all nations can coexist harmoniously and jointly maintain the peace and prosperity of all countries."
The long—long speech script was finally finished by Rimuru.
The gaze revealed in the eyes of the crowd below at this moment was the light of 'wisdom'.
The hypnotic effect of the half-hour speech was quite good.
"My speech is over."
Clap, clap, clap!
Enthusiastic applause and cheers immediately rang out at the scene.
And at that moment, Rimuru let out a long sigh; the gratitude he had for Draco just now had long since vanished into thin air.
"Chikeshou! No wonder he didn't read it himself. Half an hour, this is simply torture..."
Rimuru roared in his heart.
With the speeches over, the six of them stood at the front of the stage together.
"Today, I, Rimuru Tempest, leader of the Jura Tempest Federation, hereby swear!"
"I, Gazel Dwargo of the Armed Nation of Dwargon, hereby swear!"
"I, Sky Queen Frey of the Heavenly Wing Country Fulbrogia, hereby swear!"
"I, Lion King Carrion of the Beast Kingdom Eurazania, hereby swear!"
"I, Milim Nava the destroyer, hereby swear!"
"I, supreme being Draco of the Nazarick Duchy, hereby swear!"
"The Six Nation Alliance is officially established!" x6
Accompanied by the oaths echoing through the sky, the flags representing their respective countries rose slowly behind the six of them.
The moment the flags fluttered, the square immediately fell into a state of boiling excitement.
As the ceremony officially concluded, the news of the Six Nation Alliance swept across the entire world like a hurricane, causing a massive uproar.
Except for one country... wings~~ (fluttering)
