His subordinates were too stupid!

More accurately there were no strategists.

Xander was prideful, arrogant and many other things but he wasn't a fool.

He knew he had no talent in schemes and strategy and he didn't need to .

Even his fathers didn't excel that much in that regard but like his father had learned an important thing, He didn't need to.

With his standing and background all he needed to do was find and recognise talents. Once he did bring them over to your side and never let them go.

That was the true way of nobility.

Xander then looked at the crowd as a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"You were all here to hear the plan when Oscar spoke. Now you know what to do, don't waste time and get to work!"

Lucius suddenly sat up in his bed.

'Where am I? How did I get here?'
