In the magnificent restaurant.
All kinds of delicious food emitted enticing aromas.
Looking into the distance, one could see a streak of fresh red flowing from a medium-rare steak.
Colorful dishes were laid out on the table, perfect in color, aroma, and taste.
Alex, who had just eaten his fill, also found his appetite stimulated.
He savored the ocean of delicacies, the flavors lingering in his mouth.
The chewy texture of the food made Alex's eyes light up.
In an instant, the food on the table was swept away like a whirlwind.
But not long after.
Meyn was already full, clutching her stomach with a satisfied expression.
Sheele was still in a daze when Alex pulled her over.
"Don't just stand there watching."
As he spoke, Alex patted her on the head.
"Oh."
Sheele blinked and began to imitate Meyn, starting to enjoy the food.
Alex stroked her hair and brought over another plate of food.
"Come, try this. The taste is very good, and it helps improve your strength."
"No, Master, I've already eaten..."
Sheele, whose toes were constantly curling inside her shoes, clutched her little belly and almost fainted.
The expression on her face was so rich that her usual impassive demeanor was completely gone.
Her appetite was small, and facing her Master's feeding, she was on the verge of collapsing.
Everyone present, watching this scene, instinctively swallowed.
They couldn't help but recall the fear of being continuously fed dishes even when they were already full.
"This is no place to linger."
Eriri's eyes darted around, and just as she was about to sneak away, a light appeared at her feet.
The next moment.
Those handsome eyes were already close at hand.
"Eriri..."
Seeing her savior arrive, Sheele mustered a breath, bent at the waist, and fled in a panic.
Watching this scene, Eriri's mouth twitched, and she quickly shook her head.
"Master, don't be like this, at... at least, let me..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Alex slapped her.
Slap!
The palm print, neither too light nor too deep, was completely covered by the lingering blush.
"Don't overthink it. However, everyone else has things to do, so how can you stand idly by?"
"Next, you need to assist your other companions."
This Dependent should have been desensitized by now.
He didn't expect her to still be so inexperienced.
It seemed he had to use a strong medicine.
Of course.
Alex had plenty of patience, so he didn't mind waiting a little longer.
Eriri: "..."
She looked at her companions who had already gathered around her.
Her mouth twitched slightly.
In the end, she could only sigh helplessly.
Oh well.
This was the best outcome.
Although she came from a wealthy family and had basically never done any rough work.
But assisting with cleaning was something she could do.
The originally chaotic restaurant became orderly with her help.
Unknowingly, it was already deep into the night.
"Phew!"
Eriri walked out of the restaurant, kneading her arms.
The amount of labor was terrifying.
Her hands were soft from pushing the mop.
But... she looked back, her expression becoming somewhat complex.
Dear Mother.
What your lovely daughter would eventually become was something she completely dared not imagine.
Noon the next day!
The warm sunlight was exceptionally dazzling.
During this time.
The Retainers/Subordinates had all gone about their respective tasks.
He, on the other hand, had a rare period of leisure.
Alex looked at the documents in his hand and began to read them.
These were all research materials on Imperial Arms.
Although he could use cheats, he would also try his best to enrich himself.
Who knew, he might be able to use them someday.
Time passed.
The sunlight gradually shifted.
Da da da.
At this moment, familiar footsteps approached.
"What's wrong, Esdeath?"
Alex put down the materials and asked.
"Nothing, it's just that the Revolutionary Army is preparing to launch a general offensive."
Esdeath said casually, "They are going all in this time."
"According to intelligence, there should be a million of them."
"And then?"
Alex's expression remained unchanged, and he said playfully, "This should be intentional on your part, right?"
What if there were a million soldiers?
Although it was true that many ants could kill an elephant, it depended on what kind of ants they were.
The Revolutionary Army's rabble.
Let alone him, even Esdeath could easily deal with them.
To put it bluntly.
The reason the other side was able to gather such a large army in the Imperial Capital.
Was definitely the doing of Esdeath and Najenda.
It was all to wipe out the entire Revolutionary Army in one fell swoop and completely eliminate all hidden dangers.
"I looked around, and many of our Dependent companions are still very weak, so I think this is a good opportunity."
"Hmm, that makes sense."
Alex's eyes lit up, and he nodded thoughtfully.
A million small monsters gathered.
Even if only a portion of their strength could allow the Retainers/Subordinates to gain experience, it would still be a considerable harvest.
That day.
