Diplomatic Maneuvers

Chapters 136 - 140

As the clash with the Empire draws inexorably nearer, Rimuru multiplies his diplomatic dealings and strategic meetings with the continent's various powers to consolidate his position before the coming storm. Every conversation, every negotiation reveals a little more of the political skill Rimuru has acquired since his hesitant beginnings as an improvised community leader. These diplomatic maneuvers go hand in hand with meticulous military preparations, every detail counting against an adversary as powerful as it is determined. This volume highlights the series' complex geopolitical dimension, where Tempest's survival depends as much on raw strength as on strategic intelligence.
