Chapter 198: Overlord (V)
One by one, Overlord turned to every single person in the room, focusing on their most important tasks and providing each with a detailed plan on how to advance and proceed. He aimed to address their challenges as efficiently and effectively as possible.
As the meeting progressed, the attendees, who had arrived full of questions and defensiveness, could not look away from the old entity. Awe and wonder filled their eyes, and respect for Overlord’s intellect and strategic prowess grew with each passing moment. In less than an hour, he had addressed all the problems they were facing.
Overlord’s plans were not mere solutions; they were intricate strategies. He dissected complex problems into manageable tasks, foresaw potential obstacles, and suggested innovative methods to overcome them. His grasp of logistics, resource management, and human behavior was unmatched.
When it came to the military, Overlord’s strategies were nothing short of revolutionary. He advised the generals on troop movements, supply chain management, and fortification enhancements that could protect the soldiers from demons, angels, and monsters alike. He introduced the concept of mobile command units equipped with the latest magical advancements, allowing for rapid response to supernatural threats. The generals found themselves taking notes like eager students.
Finally, it was the turn of Chief Councilor Aloz and Grand Marshal Anglius. The duo couldn’t help but feel the pressure under the Overlord’s gaze. There was no denying the entity’s astonishing understanding of military and civil affairs and his ability to manage them with an efficiency that seemed almost supernatural.
"I will speak with Chief Councilor Alonz and Grand Marshal Anglius alone. The rest of you can leave, as your clearance does not allow you to hear what will be discussed next. From now on, I will communicate with you through your communication gems," the Overlord commanded the rest of the group, his voice imposing, making it clear it was not a suggestion but an order.
The civil and military officers glanced at the duo upon hearing this command. Overlord’s abilities were beyond amazing, but his presence exuded immense pressure, and they were worried about the duo. However, upon seeing Alonz and Anglius nod, everyone in the room left, leaving the trio.
As soon as the others left, Overlord focused on the duo with a meaningful expression. "I have analyzed every move you have made and seen your reports. You are impressive, and the solutions you find to the problems that arise might not be more intelligent than what I could come up with, but they are certainly ingenious."
Chief Councilor Aloz and Grand Marshal Anglius stared at Overlord with sharp glances, trying to understand the entity’s goal, but they didn’t have to wonder for long.
"While I will take control of all military and government matters, you will become extensions of my existence. Your positions will remain as you are considered key pieces of the Xaos Kingdom. I will work to help you improve and ensure the prosperous advancement of the kingdom," Overlord’s voice carried a tone of certainty as if the path he was offering was one that would benefit all.
Although the situation was strange, to say the least, Chief Councilor Alonz and Grand Marshal Anglius could not deny the entity’s capabilities were off the charts, and they would be fools not to take advantage of them.
