When they returned, they were already in a fighting stance.
Seeing this, Alex was very pleased.
Indeed, every one of his Retainers/Subordinates was not a coward.
Without hesitation, Alex began to use his Rubber Body skill, warming up.
The next day at noon!
Alex walked out of his room feeling refreshed, just as he saw Carol approaching.
"What, is something wrong?"
Carol respectfully replied, "Reporting, Lord Alex, I have already gathered representatives from several major races to hold a meeting."
"To jointly discuss the matters of attacking the Demon King's Castle."
"The meeting room isn't far. I will take Lord Alex there now."
"No need, wait a moment."
Alex nodded, immediately casting a communication Magic Circle.
He truly had no interest in such a boring meeting.
Naturally, he had his Retainers/Subordinates to handle such troubles.
"We're attacking the Demon King's Castle here. Esdeath, Norn, Najenda, which three of you are free to come over?"
Esdeath: "Master, I just finished annihilating a country and am free."
"And me, I want to go too."
"Alright, you all come over."
Buzz!
With a flash of light.
Esdeath and Norn slowly emerged from the Magic Circle.
"Master, why aren't Akame and the others here?"
Esdeath looked around, a hint of confusion on her face.
"Yeah, that's not right."
Norn blinked, also looking at Alex with some bewilderment.
Alex coughed and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, they were too tired from training last night."
"…"
Esdeath and Norn exchanged glances, both seeing the subtle understanding in each other's eyes.
Alright.
They completely understood.
It seemed that while they were away.
Their fellow Retainers/Subordinates had been having an exceptionally good time.
However.
Hearing their conversation, Carol's heart filled with joy.
"Carol, these two represent my will. The upcoming meeting will be entirely their responsibility."
"Yes, Lord Alex."
Carol dared not delay and immediately led the two to the meeting hall.
As for Alex.
He was just about to go to the dining room to eat when he remembered that it probably needed to be redecorated.
Helplessly,
He could only casually find a chair to sit on and read the magic books he carried with him.
Anyway, with Esdeath's personality.
This meeting shouldn't last too long.
And in fact.
It was indeed so.
Vaguely, Alex could hear the commotion from the meeting room.
"I think the tactics you've devised are useless."
"I agree with Miss Norn. Meeting with you all is a complete waste of time."
"What did you say?"
"Ladies, this is not the attitude for a meeting."
"How can you two humans dictate the affairs of us demons?"
"Chief Carol, what exactly do you mean by having these two humans attend the meeting?"
Alex shook his head and muttered to himself, "As expected."
"Next up…"
The next second, Alex felt a chill, followed by sounds of wailing and begging for mercy.
"It seems it's ending even faster than I expected."
He knew it was Esdeath who had made a move without even having to think.
Except when she was in front of him, Esdeath always acted like a demure young woman.
To everyone else, she was forever that sadistic queen.
Those racial representatives were in for a rough time.
"Master!!"
Esdeath and Norn, having clearly finished the meeting, had already walked over.
Behind them, Carol's face was pale, as if he had experienced some great horror.
"You two, you didn't cause any fatalities, did you?"
Alex put away his magic book and asked with a faint smile.
"No, Big Sister Esdeath knows her limits very well."
Norn said with a smile, "A few of them are more seriously injured, but they'll be fine after lying down for about half a month."
"Hmm."
Alex nodded and asked, "What was the final strategy decided upon?"
After hearing the screams, he no longer paid attention to the subsequent events.
"With Master here, dealing with a mere Demon King's Castle doesn't require any complex strategy at all."
Esdeath said with a smile, "We just need to break through the Demon King's Castle and go straight for the Demon King's head."
"However, I don't know if Master is interested in the Demon King. If not, then leave it to me."
Alex pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, leave the Demon King to me."
He was the Demon King after all.
He should be able to provide him with a good amount of experience.
