"Now tell me, what is the progress of the plan to take this kingdom and the movements of the worshippers of Diablos?"
"Yes!!"
Gamma's expression froze, then she responded quickly.
Leon's serious tone snapped Gama out of her excitement and joy.
But that only made her and the girls even more excited.
The kindness with which Leon treated them was intoxicating, and the cruelty he showed his enemies made their hearts beat faster.
Gamma immediately asked them to bring the information.
"We currently control over 40% of the market in Midgar."
"At the same time, Ningguang has captured 50% of the commerce channels. If we join forces, we can severely damage the entire kingdom's economy in a short time."
"Now, there are people connected to us among the knights and ministers, and the situation is quiet. If the Lord wants to meet the king, I can arrange it immediately."
Gamma reported their achievements from recent years.
This data was partly due to her business and Ningguang, but especially Leon's strategy.
Leon had used only a few dirty tricks from his previous life and immediately took control of the kingdom's economy.
[Although this is a world of swords and magic... have they really been this negligent with financial precautions? No, it must be said they are completely unprepared.]
Since many problems are solved by force here, brains are not widely used. As a result, Leon used some tricks to earn almost half the market.
Now all he needed was this thought:
He could ask the king of Midgar to give him his crown.
As for what Gamma meant by "finding the king," Leon already had a plan.
"It would be very convenient to control the king with my Geass, but even if I did, I wouldn't get the expected effect, so I won't consider it for now."
Leon shook his head.
In the past, he imposed restrictions on himself to avoid using the power of Geass to manipulate people's minds, because his ideal was not to become a puppet king.
But kings of other kingdoms were not included in those restrictions.
After all, he would be the only king of the world in the future, so except for his father, all other kings were his enemies.
He would show no mercy to his enemies.
"The king of Midgar is extremely conservative. He's always concerned about relationships, shy and passive when it comes to commitments. Therefore, his influence and real power are unstable."
"That's true."
"And based on the information you provided, the cult should have completely infiltrated this kingdom. Tsk, this group of rats is still well hidden."
Leon quickly reviewed the information presented by Gamma.
He couldn't help but frown.
After all, Night Raid was established just ten years ago, and its foundation was weak compared to a cult that had existed for thousands of years.
The kingdom of Midgar had been infiltrated by the cult since its foundation, and they hadn't even discovered all the enemies in such a short time.
If Leon wanted to take over this kingdom,
The most necessary thing now was to deal with the infiltrated cult members.
Otherwise, even if he controlled the king of Midgar, it would be useless. These forces secretly controlled by the cult could ignore the king's orders.
They could even kill the king and cause trouble for him.
"I need to think of a way to blow these worms up once and for all... Okay, I've thought of it."
Seeing Leon's furrowed brows, Gamma took a deep breath and lowered her head.
Leon had analyzed all the information so quickly and assessed the situation between them and the enemy. This incredible wisdom always made her feel inferior.
It also made her feel powerless.
[It seems I can't help this time...]
Gamma thought despairingly.
In fact, she had prepared a plan. It was a plan that had been considered for several days by all her subordinates, but Gamma no longer intended to submit it.
Because there was no need.
There was no better solution than Leon's strategy.
Even though it was just a method he created after thinking for a few seconds, it was definitely more perfect than her own plan. Gamma, who had personally witnessed Leon's wisdom, understood that.
"By the way, intelligence says the cult plans to attack the second princess, Alexia. Is that true?"
"Yes, my Lord, I fear they will act soon. However, I have arranged for more than a dozen members to infiltrate the gym disguised as freshmen. I won't let them succeed."
"There are many secrets hidden in this gym."
"Yes, during our investigation, we found that the cult seems to have invested a lot of effort into this gym. I'm afraid they are hiding something big."
Leon looked at the gym map.
His eyes narrowed slightly. Nothing could be hidden from him. As long as he wanted to know, he would uncover whatever was concealed.
But first, it was about the second princess Alexia. A dozen combat strategies immediately appeared in Leon's mind, and he quickly found the one that could maximize his interests.
"Gamma, can I use the members you placed in the gym?"
"Of course! I'll give you their list right now! Please do whatever you want!"
"Excellent~ Although I feel sorry for Princess Alexia, let her be the bait. I'll make the cult reveal itself completely."
Leon had already completed the plan.
Gamma also understood her responsibilities.
What she needed to do now was focus her fighting force and wait for her master to provoke the storm, reveal the hidden enemies, and then kill them all at once!
"Don't worry~ I'm a perfectionist. Although I'm going to use her as bait, I won't let her be killed," Leon said to himself as he looked at Alexia's photo in the file.
He didn't feel guilty.
After all, she was the princess of this country. To eliminate the pests hiding in her country, some sacrifices should be made.
He believed the princess would be willing~
Leon divided the plan's steps in his mind. First, he would lead the cult to attack and then destroy everything at once. Then he would control the kingdom's economy and finally control the king. The whole country would be in his hands!
"Okay, I'll tell you the detailed steps. Now help me with something else."
"Please do as you wish, my Lord."
"Don't be so serious, Gamma. The combat meeting is over, and it's time for dinner, so... would you like to have dinner with me, Gamma?"
Leon looked at Gamma with a smile, and his tone returned to its usual kindness.
Gamma stared at Leon.
She thought she was hallucinating.
What did he just say?
Did he invite her to dinner?
Her usually intelligent mind couldn't process such a simple phrase at that moment.
"Huh? What's your answer? Don't you want to? Then I can go back..." Leon raised his eyebrows.
"No! Yes! Sir, please wait a moment. I'll change into a dress that suits you right away. Wuwu, if possible, I'd like to take a shower first. Oh, I'm not dreaming... arrange for the best Midgar chef immediately!!"
"Yes, Master Gamma."
The girls present watched the happy scene. While they were happy for their superior, they couldn't help but yearn for the same.
And Gamma held her face with both hands.
Her face seemed to shine with happiness.
This was the luckiest day of her life.
And today was her happiest day!
