Amid the cheers of the people, Warwick strode onto the stage.
The Beast King, who had once been able to do nothing but lead his tribe in a struggle to survive amid the Demon Clan's encroachment, now stood before the eyes of the entire Terra Continent, and he could not help feeling a little nervous.
It was not the many eyes on him that made him nervous, but the decision to come.
He glanced below the stage.
That was where the Half-Orc citizens stood: women holding children, elders leaning on wooden staffs, and children wearing new clothes from Great Xia for the first time.
Warwick picked up the pen and wrote his name on the document.
Then he pressed the seal of the Half-Orc Alliance onto it.
Behind him, Muradin checked the document's contents over once more.
At the end of the document was a sentence:
Great Xia citizens shall enjoy the rights to education, medical care, housing, labor, and protection of property in accordance with the law.
Muradin's finger paused, and many, many memories came back to him.
Ultimately, the Dwarves had suffered far too much under his rule.
Though the Demon Clan's invasion was part of the reason, none of that was an excuse.
He had failed to make the Dwarf Clan strong, and they were living harder lives than before!
Then he lifted the pen and firmly signed his name.
Finally, Elder Zhao signed and stamped the three-party document.
He raised his head and announced to everyone present.
"From this day forward, the Half-Orc Clan and the Dwarf Kingdom formally join Great Xia and become part of Great Xia!"
"The Half-Orc Autonomous Region and the Dwarf Autonomous Region are also officially established!"
The square fell silent for a moment.
The next instant, fireworks shot into the sky.
