In the conference room.
Linde leaned back in his chair, casually flipping through the documents Freya had prepared.
They were basically analyses of the forces of various countries and races.
Hmm... it's so troublesome.
Linde glanced at them a few times and then gave up.
Although he had watched the Arifureta anime in his previous life.
This was, after all, a real world, and there were simply too many messy settings.
After thinking for a moment, Linde decided it was enough to grasp the general direction.
Anyway, with Norn as his strategist, he didn't need to use his brain.
He gently tapped the table with his finger and said, "Next, I plan to implement a world conquest plan."
"Starting a war, but..."
Kleha hesitated.
Although her body and mind were already Linde's.
Her kind nature made her somewhat resistant to this approach.
After all, once war broke out, the people would suffer.
And no matter how you looked at it.
Invading other countries was an unjust act.
"Your vision should be more long-term."
Linde smiled slightly, flicked Kleha's forehead, and explained:
"Even if you were deceived by the previous king, you must be very clear about this world."
"Conflicts between countries are common, and in every country, slave trade and wanton slaughter are countless."
"Only if we can unite the entire world under one will can we implement our policies."
"Think about it carefully, which great nation in history was not built upon mountains of corpses and seas of blood?"
Listening to Linde's narration, Kleha's expression changed, and she finally nodded.
She considered the people.
But he was not pedantic.
If it was for a better tomorrow, he was willing to wield the sword in his hand.
Moreover… as far as she knew, all the surrounding countries were rotten.
She would not have any psychological burden in taking action.
"I understand master's intention," Norn mused for a moment, then began to analyze.
Marching and fighting battles were not simple matters.
Especially a war to conquer a nation; it could be said that one move would affect the whole body.
The first problem was the issue of provisions and money.
Then, there was the problem of manpower.
Because of their relationship, a large portion of the kingdom's elites had already been converted into experience.
Even if Linde took action and suppressed everything by force, there would still be many messy things afterward.
Ultimately, unless everyone was killed, humans would voice their opinions.
Rebellions, infighting, and the governance of territories.
Norn objectively and calmly laid out many issues that needed attention.
Linde smiled, "The core point is a lack of people and money, right?"
"Indeed it is."
Norn nodded sheepishly, then said, "But if you give me some time, I can definitely develop the kingdom to the point where it can help master conquer the world."
"No need for such trouble," Linde shook his head, "I can solve all of these."
As his voice fell, a small Magic Circle had already appeared before him.
"Master, what is this?"
"Oh, this is a Magic Circle used for inter-world communication."
This was a method that used the Demon Contract as an anchor, connecting the communication magic to multiple worlds through Demon Summoning.
Soon, someone received the contact.
"Master, do you need us for something?"
"Yes, leave the necessary personnel in the Empire; we are preparing to conquer Other World."
Linde briefly introduced the situation of the World of the Brave Wielder, which immediately aroused the interest of many.
Esdeath: "Heroes, Demon Lords, this world is truly too interesting. I must come."
Najenda: "Master, the Empire's finances are not a problem and can provide support."
Leone: "Haha, a new world! Are there any special fine wines?"
"Master, I miss you a bit."
"Alright, prepare yourselves. I will summon you then."
"Yes, Master."
The Retainers from the Akame ga Kill world responded one after another.
The next day, early in the morning, in the spacious great hall, the light of the Summoning Magic Circle flashed.
A group of valiant figures had already emerged from the light.
"So this is the new Other World?"
"It doesn't seem much different from our world."
Esdeath and the others looked around, but were somewhat disappointed.
Compared to modern society, the decor here was very similar to their world.
However, their gazes quickly fell upon Linde.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
No matter which world, as long as master was there, it was enough.
Speaking of which, their levels had been stagnant for a long time.
"Alright, everyone is here. I'll make some simple arrangements first."
Linde clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
"I believe you all have a lot of experience with war."
"Mhm, mhm."
Esdeath and a few others nodded.
"However, this world has many strange magics that you need to understand. Go find Freya..."
"For other tactical arrangements, go find Norn."
"By the way, I have something to do and need to return to the Main World for a bit..."
Upon hearing this, Esdeath and the others' expressions stiffened.
What was happening? Master was leaving just as they arrived.
Was it all for nothing?
Everyone felt a little depressed.
So they came here just to work, right?
But... master hadn't left yet, had he?
The next moment, Esdeath and the others all stepped forward, walking determinedly to Linde's front.
"???"
Linde blinked.
What was this situation?
He hadn't finished speaking yet.
At this moment, Esdeath and the others spoke in unison.
"Master, please bestow upon us the breakthrough potion."
Linde suddenly understood.
So it was for this.
"They..."
The Star Spirit on the other side was about to say something, but was already dumbfounded.
Indeed, Retainers from any world were all the same.
In this way, it seemed difficult for her to find an opportunity.
At Linde's Villa, with a flash of light, Linde had already stepped out of the Magic Circle.
Although he had been delayed in the World of the Brave Wielder for some time, it was unavoidable to fulfill the wishes of his Retainers.
"Master, you're back." Seeing Linde appear, Shiho Miyano, holding a ladle, emerged from the kitchen.
Immediately, Linde's eyes lit up.
He saw Shiho Miyano wearing an apron like thin gauze, perfectly outlining her almost perfect, full figure.
Feeling Linde's gaze, Shiho Miyano smiled and puffed out her chest.
Her eyes were like silk, and she spoke in a cool yet delicate voice.
"Master, I'm making a new Eastern dish I learned. It's almost ready now. Would you like to come and taste it?"
"Alright."
Linde walked into the kitchen, took the ladle, and lightly tasted it.
Not bad, the taste had improved.
Linde nodded in satisfaction and took out the "Level Breakthrough Potion Creator."
He intended to respond to her feelings with practical action.
Seeing this, Shiho Miyano quickly helped, participating in the creation of the potion.
"Oh, master is back."
"Wait a minute, we need to level up too!"
The other Retainers, who belatedly sensed Linde's presence, had just walked down the stairs when they saw Shiho Miyano secretly trying to get stronger.
For a moment, everyone puffed out their cheeks.
Without hesitation, everyone leaped forward, vying for their share.
