With all the issues regarding Leo's title resolved, Leo is now back in the office at the town hall.
Solve hundreds of problems left in this city as the ruler of Venice City.
Next to her, Selene is seen sitting at her own desk. Facing the pile of paper that started to mount.
"Came, Selene. Don't sleep yet. Our problems are not finished." Said Leo with his eye bags that began to blacken.
At this moment he began to curse upon his dead left eye. Makes it a little difficult to work when you only have one eye.
Even so, Leo still fought hard for the safety of everyone in this city.
And suddenly....
'Bruck!'
"Master Leo! Reports from...."
"Knock the door first, you fool." Reply Leo briefly.
"Well.... I'm sorry, Sir. But we just conquered a bandit hideout in the North. According to information from Brunt, you managed to find the location and destroy it easily." Obviously that female soldier.
He was seen kneeling before Leo who was busy looking at the two sheets of paper.
While the response from him seemed a little dissatisfied. Or you could say not care much.
"Is that so? Good work all of you. Keep up your work." Reply Leo with a slightly lazy tone.
"Good, Master!" Reply the Soldier excitedly while immediately standing up. He raised his right arm and saluted Leo.
"The Special Division of the Conquest will be back on the move soon!" Said the soldier before leaving this room.
Leaving Leo and Selene in silence once again. Before the....
'Brakk!'
"Report! Troops from...."
"Stupid, don't you guys have the Kramas to knock on the door?" Ask Leo a little annoyed.
"Pardon me, sir!" Reply The different female Warrior while immediately kneeling before Leo.
He had a slightly different uniform than the one before. If the previous one was wearing a black uniform that seemed intimidating enough, this time he was wearing a white uniform with a beautiful gold pattern.
After correcting her posture and attitude, the female soldier went back to reporting.
"Report! The Liberation Division Special Division has managed to secure Daeta City as well as several surrounding villages!" Said the girl excitedly as she continued to look at Leo's face in the distance.
Different from before, if this response Leo quite serious and seemed quite happy.
"Is that so? How did the residents of Daeta City react?" Ask Leo.
"Ready! The residents of Daeta City welcomed Mr Leo's new government with joy! They are hoping for Mr Leo's kindness and help in this winter crisis!" Obviously the girl.
"good job. Now begin to liberate the south. Focus all the way to the Easternmost part of the region, or to the village of Rarth and the Village of Molinord in the South." Obviously Leo.
"Ready to do, sir! But...."
"Request additional troops and foodstuffs to Luna. He'll definitely wipe it." Reply Leo who seems to already know what questions the girl will ask.
With a smile that immediately widened, the girl replied.
"Thank you very much, Mr Leo!" Shouted the girl as she immediately stood up and saluted. He immediately left this room.
Meanwhile....
"Well, I can't focus on working at all. Too many.... Did I kill too many good officers in this town hall?" Ask Leo to himself.
"Maybe Mr. Leo did kill too much so all this work piled up in some of the remaining employees. After all, people who can read and write are very rare.
Moreover, one who could think of such a complicated matter as this government? Tax arrangements? A calculation? A structuring? Haha...." Said Selene in a faint voice.
"Ferry has also almost lost his life because he did not sleep for 3 days. Should I rest him for a moment?"
"Of course, isn't he our greatest asset?" Reply Selene without the slightest hesitation.
'Braaaka!'
"Master! Bad news!" Shouted another female soldier. But now he has a beautiful dark blue uniform.
Leo could only pat his forehead with all his might with his right hand. I don't understand why no one knows how to knock on the door before entering. And he gave up on that too.
"What's wrong?" Ask Leo lazily.
The soldier immediately knelt down before explaining the entire situation.
"Sheila has betrayed you! He had managed to escape the supervision of the Security Special Division!"
Now, that was the worst news that Leo could hear. How not? During this time, Leo always considered that he had managed to buy Sheila with money.
But apparently, Sheila's loyalty to Feris was much greater. And the girl's form of cooperation all along, was just to let Leo relax his guard.
It also provided an opportunity for Sheila to make further observations of the situation in the City.
"What's.... You saying? How come?" Leo asked, now with a little bit of anger and a lot of resentment.
"We-we don't know. We always keep the room and the house where Sheila lives. We still hear voices from him. It's just that, when we got suspicious, we broke down the door to her room.
And what was inside was just a sound magic that would automatically respond to the voices of others with a prearranged reply. Not only that, we found this on his desk." Obviously the female warrior with the slightly trained body was.
He then handed her a letter wrapped in a beautiful white envelope. Complete with royal blue seal.
On the front of the envelope, there was a neat and beautiful writing.
"To Leonardo? Fuckin." Leo said after seeing that. He immediately unsealed the letter. And what was inside was a piece of paper folded into three pieces.
The content of the letter itself is quite simple. But at the same time it is also quite deadly for Leo.
...^^^Thank you for your innocence and kindness. With this money, I can make my family happy. ^^^...
...But unfortunately, I still can't allow your crimes in taking over this city by force. I have reported it to Feris, and the answer has arrived. ...
......If you don't give the city back by spring, Achibald and Feris will take their troops to the Western Rustfell region. ......
...Let's just say this information is a reply to the money you give. ...
...Good bye. ...
'Sreeett!'
Leo seemed to hold the letter with all his might while putting on a face that looked so upset.
His worries have now been fully proven.
He knows that money will never buy everything. Sometimes, there is something more valuable than money.
One of them is self-worth.
After understanding all the contents of the letter, Leo immediately decided.
"Deliver my message to the head of the witch section. Gather all C-level witches and above them as much as possible. Then contact the military chief to recruit as many soldiers as possible.
The following spring.... We're probably going to war." Obviously Leo with a pretty tense face.
"War?" Ask the female soldier.
But Leo's reply this time seemed quite cold.
"You don't have to ask. Go and get my message." Reply Leo with a pretty horrible look.
The white blindfold on his left eye added to his horror.
"De-with soon!" Reply to the soldier who immediately stood up and left.
While Selene who had looked so tired and sleepy, now had awakened completely. And the only question is....
"Are we also going to kill the soldiers of the human kingdom?" Ask Selene.
"No.... But at least we should have the strength to support our words and desires. Think of it as an extra point in the negotiation."
