109. Furthering the approach

It's been a month since he went on a Date with Hancock to Angel City. The girls were very proactive during this period as they alternated with each other to come to him at night.

Sometimes they would do it together but sometimes it would be individual sessions. Alex never complained as he was content with life.

'Only ones left to eat are Zero-Two, Saeko, Astolfo, Zest, Alice, Shizuka-nee chan, Yumeko, Kurumi, Ye Lian and Yue'. He mused to himself seriously like he was doing something really important.

He got up from the chair as he walked over to the window and looked outside at the scene of his own Base City.

In this while, the whole City has been stabilised with the troops ready and fully trained by Scathach and Mamako.

'Guess it's time for war'. Alex thought as he looked at the tranquil City outside the window.

The people has been peaceful now. People have houses and fields to tend to. Enough food to put in their plates and let their children enjoy a nice childhood.

A lot of people praise Alex daily for his grace. He is literally God in their hearts at this point. Everyone understands this point.

'Merlin-nee chan, get everyone in the conference room'. Alex said as he started walking towards the conference room.

He waited for a little while and everyone started pouring in steadily like a stream and in a short while. The whole room was full.

"Report". Alex said as he sat down in the head chair and looked at everyone inside.

"The financial situation of city is doing good. The tax is smooth and the populace are only charged about five percent at the moment for the first to stabilise the situation.

This agreed upon by Mamako and Albedo. So this has been done. Financially, people are stable and don't really have any slums in the city at the moment". Yumeko reported and sat down.

"We have started to appoint some officers in the army. Right now, we are making officers based on their tiers and strength but this will be changed to merits in the future.

The army has been put through hell this past month by Raiko-oka sama and Scathach-onee sama. The results are quite gratifying". Saeko stood up as she finished her report.

"We have also started to appoint ministers in the court as advisors and to handle the not too important work load". Albedo reported as she stood up.

Then everyone gave their reports from training combat maids to other things. It was all neatly arranged.

"Alright, this ends the casual report. Now to the serious part". Alex said as he stood up and opened a holographic map.

"A war is coming". He said while he zoomed in the holographic map.

Everyone in the room got a bit tense except the Assassin ladies. Alex smiled at them to relieve the tension and continued.

"We are going to take over another city and slowly start our campaign. I cannot be everywhere and we might have to attack multiple bases at the same time.

So everyone has to be prepared for the inevitable. Raikou-ka chan and Scathach-nee chan will train Hinata, Astolfo and Saeko as capable commanders for the army.

Robin, Ye Lian, Alice, Felicia and Selena will take care of the enemy leaders from behind enemy lines. If possible, they might even have to sometimes open the City Gates for invasion".

Alex summarised some of the things while showing them the map of the nearby Base Cities.

The one closes to them was at least 200 km away with a lot of foliage and a forest cover in the way of their march.

"Alice and Ye Lian will go to this city to take out the leader silently while the rest of the three will go to the other one for the same purpose". He said as the five of them nodded their heads.

"We will sortie in a week's time. Prepare everything. I will make a path". Alex said as he sat back down.

"We only have about 2000 soldiers. 2500 if we include the long range attackers as well". Hinata reported as she was a bit worried.

"That will not be a problem. I will go for one of the Cities myself. You guys will only be going for one city. This can be considered practice for the future". Alex said as he smiled at her.

Hinata nodded her pretty little as she sat back down on the chair.

"The master of these two bases are also Tier 6 powerhouses as these are not really important on the land". Chiyo said as she looked at everyone in the room.

"We are declaring war on Guard Mansion. They will not sit still when they find out about this". Alex also reminded as everyone's back straightened when they thought of this point.

Guard Mansion and the Guilds are deeply rooted in people's hearts and they think of them as some kind of invincible existence.

"Do you still need to be tense about them when I am here?" Alex smiled as he said jokingly.

Everyone laughed and the tense atmosphere was immediately diffused without a problem. The meeting was over and everyone was just chatting leisurely as they talked about all kinds of things.

"Alright, I will take my leave". Alex stood up to leave and saw Zest following behind like a shadow.

"You can do what you want. I am just taking a stroll". Alex waved his hand to dismiss her as he continued walking.

"With you". Zest shook her head stubbornly as she continued following.

"Suit yourself". Alex said as he didn't stop and went out of the castle for a good stroll.

People would pause and salute him every time he passed by them. Zest was following behind Alex while keeping her hands entwined in front like a proper maid.

"It is really doing good". Alex nodded his head as he was extremely pleased by the atmosphere around the people in the city.

Everyone was cheerful and the hustle and bustle was really good in the City. There were streetlights everywhere. So even if it was the night, you wouldn't feel the darkness at all like a every good modern city.
