This Overlord Doesn't Care About Anything

Book 3: Chapter 3: Don't Just Randomly Set Up A FLAG

Facing Moons mockery, I replied without the slightest hesitation:

What, you want to give it a try?

Moon shook his head:

Forget it. Im afraid your body wont be able to handle me.

Haiyo! Young man, youve been a bit more inflated these days.

As I was speaking, I grabbed Moons shoulder and continued:

If theres anything you want to say, tell me as soon as possible because Im in a bad mood today. Theres no place for the evil fire in my stomach to be vented to; who knows if youll ultimately become the target to be vented to.

Moon moved to the side a half-step and replied:

Becoming intoxicated by the harem and living a debauched life is the first step towards destruction for West-Resisting City. As your internal affairs aide, I need to stop this behavior.

He stopped for a moment, then continued:

Cut it off and youll be cured forever.

Holy ****, youre a devil!

Aint this a little too ruthless.

I helplessly said:

Lets speak proper business. Didnt I tell you to handle government affairs and get yourself acclimated with the environment?

Moon crossed her hands on his chest and answered:

Its done.

I was surprised.

Moon resembled a child waiting for the teachers praise. If she had a tail, it would already be continuously shaking back and forth. At this time, I didnt deliberately praise her. Instead, I used my skill let loose, in order to capture later, and pretended to ask contemplatively:

Really? Its been a month since Ive been away, so the pile of government affairs to take care of absolutely isnt some small amount.

Moon returned:

Indeed. But I brought my team with me. As long as it isnt anything particularly important, its fine to hand it over to them to handle. Ill take account of anything particularly important, but you cant hope that Ill be able to finish discussing with those under me within today. Take for example your Demon Cultivation Farm, theres been a serious overflow problem this month and the farm requires expansion, but with how miserly youve been, those below you havent thought towards expansion. Ive made those followers pull up a temporary engineering team who will solve this problem in the near future, but not today. Not everything is completed, but all the affairs have become neat and orderly.

I nodded.

Moon continued:

Compared to this, the enemies from the north are the more pressing issue. I have much more information compared to you guys; I have some understanding about that young female general of theirs. With you back, Zhao Chen will most likely intensify their annoyance factor. Besides, according to your nature, even if they dont come find trouble with you, youll still go find trouble with them.

Moon paused for a bit, then said:

In order to avenge your people.

I laughed:

Its true. What, is it hard to do?

Moon resentfully said:

Of course. I originally had a plan for West-Resisting City already in my mind. If this happens, then the plan needs to be accelerated. Do you have any extra money-making methods on hand? Give them all to me. Oh right, those agricultural nobility, army achievements, and so on, Ive already written some simple, practical, and concrete policies for them. They should be quickly placed into practice. Sigh, Im exhausted.

I stroked his head, but Moon clearly wasnt like Felita; he wasnt one to be bribed over so easily. He sternly said:

Li De. Give me one years time. In at least one year, I will make West-Resisting City truly formidable. This is already the limit. With ordinary reforms, it would take 10 years to even catch a glimpse of initial results. West-Resisting City is relatively special, moreover you have many novel ideas. But the problem lies in how lacking West-Resisting City is in talented people. The group I brought along with me is barely enough to alleviate the current urgent need. If theres only ideas but nobody to implement themcity defense, army, education, economy, peoples livelihood, infrastructure construction, and your proposed industrialization, each and every one of them needs to be done and developed. The pool of talented people in West-Resisting City is too small, I can only do as much as all my effort allows me to.

I inquired:

Is there still time?

Moon moved away his line of sight and creased his brows in deep thought, saying:

The plans changed. Zhao Chens 10 cities shouldnt be touched for now, this year we should conquer Li Nings territory in the east

He slowly poured out his thoughts. After waiting for him to finish speaking, I nodded.

Even though the variables in the plan were a little too big in my opinion, it wouldnt be realistic for West-Resisting City to instantly succeed even with a better plan. This bit, I was long clear about, but being met with the scene of Moon wrinkling his graceful brows as he pondered, I couldnt help but reach out to smoothen his forehead, saying:

Dont worry about it and work. Im handing over my private hoard into your control.

Moon sighed:

Leave the internal affairs part to me. You just carefully think about how to deal with the people from Zhao Chen during this period of time. If youre planning on dragging the situation on, then drag it along for one years time for me.

I shook my hand self-confidently:

Rest assured. I guarantee that once those Zhao Chen people see that Ive returned, theyll be intimidated by my imposing manner and run away in fear

Before my voice even fell, someone rapidly ran over from outside. Upon looking at him, he seemed a bit familiar, seeming to be one of the soldiers that I had recruited. At this moment, his clothes were dyed in bloodstains from head to toe. When he saw me, he didnt bother wiping the bloodstain off his face as he loudly exclaimed:

Sir City Lord! Those bastards from Zhao Chen have come to bully us again! A crevice has been smashed in the northern city wall, now that sir Felita isnt present, the situations quickly spiraling out of control

As he was shouting, he sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off and blinked his eyes as he looked at me and Moon.

With a smiling expression on his face, Moon bowed to me and raised his hand as he walked out of the door, seeming to say: Please, please, bye-bye~.

*******

I glanced over at Felitas room, then helplessly told this soldier before me:

Lead the way.

It seems you bastards dont want me to rest even a moment, do you?

Then lets go! Send me on my way!
