A Highest Rank in Another World!

After the short conversation with the four people inside the meeting room, the four retired to attend to their duties. Inside the room, only Ward and Luna remained. Ward sighed and laid his head on the table after they withdrew.

"This is tiring. I don\'t like that kind of talk and obligation."

"Think on the bright side, they are the ones who are taking care of things, you just give the orders."

"True... It would be even worse if I had to do everything myself."

"Mhm," Luna nodded.

"But now I think I\'ll take a little rest while they take care of everything. I hope those two girls don\'t let me down."

"Speaking of those two girls, where did you find them?" Luna asked confused as she sat down at the table along with Ward.

"They are from a noble family in Beastled. They showed interest in working for me, so I accepted them. Those other two also started working for me in the same way."

"I see. So the nobles are supporting you?"

"It seems so since the family of those two girls sent them to work for me. And also that older dog-eared man is the head of his family."

"You keep calling them \'Girls\' or \'Men with dog ears\'. Don\'t you know their names?" Luna gave a mocking smile. And with that question, Ward looked at his sister and remained silent.

Luna removed the smile from her face and looked at Ward.

"Is it serious?" She asked in disbelief.

"They are doing a good job and that\'s what matters."

"Try to talk to them and find out more about them... You need to at least know their names."

"Oh, I at least know their family name."

"And what are their family name?"

"I think the family name of the two girls is Eamitg and the family of the two men is called Wineren. I think that\'s it."

"You think?"

"I\'m not good at remembering names of things I don\'t care about."

"BUT THEY WORK FOR YOU! Try to have a frank talk with them and find out more about them."

"All right..."

When evening came, Ward called the four people into the meeting room again. 

"All right, I\'m here because my sister told me it was good to do this."

"Do what?" One of the dog-eared girls asked. 

"To know more about you guys. I remembered earlier today that I don\'t even know your names. I want you to talk fast, I don\'t want to waste too much time here as I need to sleep."

"All right, I\'ll start with me then. My name is Lisa Eamitg and this one next to me is Phena Eamitg, my sister." The older-looking girl said.

Phena next to her sister nodded as she smiled.

While Lisa was a girl with large breasts with a more mature appearance, Phena was a younger girl with modest breasts. But still, the two were quite similar.

Both had long brown hair and dark brown eyes. Besides having very white skin, they were pale.

Ward looked at both of them for a while as he admired the beauty of both girls. But when he noticed that the girls started to get a little annoyed, Ward cleared his throat and looked at the two men.

"Got it. And now you guys."

As he did so, the older man stood up.

Unlike Lisa and Phena who had large, droopy dog ears on the side of his head, this man had small, firm ears much like cat ears.

"My name is Lyace Wineren, I am the head of the Wineren house of barons." He made a polite reference. Ward was surprised that the man had such refined manners.

"And my name is Burmax Wineren, I am Lyace\'s son. It\'s a pleasure to meet you." Unlike his father, Burmax did not have a very polished way of introducing himself. But still, Lyace seemed proud of his son.

\'But now that I\'ve had a good look, it makes sense that they are father and son.\' Ward took a good look at the faces of the two, and they were quite similar. The nose was similar, the chin of the two was similar, and the color of their eyes was the same.

It was a slightly grayish-black color.

The only difference was their age. Lyace had white hair because he was older.

"All right, now that you have introduced yourselves, I need to know how it went. Is everything okay with the families? Did you get everything calculated right? What about the army supplies?"

At Ward\'s question, Lisa and Lyace opened their mouths at the same time.

"About the families..."

"The army..."

After they began to speak at the same time, the two looked at each other looking surprised.

Ward smiled and then sighed.

"One at a time, please. You first, Lisa."

"Thank you very much." Lisa bowed and continued.

"All right, first I\'ll give you this here. This is the number of families, the average number of people per family, and the salary we chose based on that. And here is also the amount of money we have available for that at the moment."

"Got it. That\'s a lot of people, isn\'t it?"

"Yes. Since we get people from every city in the country, the number is very large."

"And about the money, it looks like we will have enough for at least 3 months, am I right?"

"Yes, exactly. As expected from you, sir."

"I made an estimate."

Ward looked at the paper for a while longer and then placed it on the table. After that Lisa was silent and moved away from a little. Seeing this Lyace opened her mouth to speak.

"About the army, supplies are already coming directly to the camp. I\'ve contacted all the cities and famous merchants."

"That\'s great. Isn\'t it?"

"Well, but we have one more problem..."

"What is it this time?"

"We have a lot of soldiers who are saying they are bored, and..."

"Is it serious?"

"Urgh..."

"Tell them to masturbate or something, I don\'t have time to listen to that kind of thing. The only thing I want from them is for them to train and then kill themselves for me. Is that clear?"

"Yes sir."

At Ward\'s words, Lyace bowed her head and then fell silent. On the other hand, the girls inside the room were red with embarrassment at hearing Ward\'s words.

\'Aren\'t they too pure?\'

After that, a few more days passed. The mood in the capital was still the same. Some people were against the new king, but over time approval was growing, mainly because of the financial support.

Many families were being helped while the men in these families were "doing nothing".

This was nothing but wonderful.

But unlike these families, many people could already sense that something was wrong, so they don\'t accept the new king. But they couldn\'t do anything, since they could be executed if they spoke or did anything unnecessary.

They were being controlled by fear.

In other words, the only people who spoke out were those who showed support for the king. So if you walked the streets, you would only find people speaking well of the new government.

And as his popularity increased, Ward began to have some cities being completely in favor of him.

Ward couldn\'t understand how things had come to this, but he didn\'t complain, this was wonderful.

The more people who showed support, the better it would be.

And after so much support had been received, it was about time to start moving. 

It was a sunny afternoon and Ward was sitting on his throne as he stared at the eight armors in front of him. The eight armors knelt down and just then Ward began to speak.

"Everything seems to be going better than I planned, doesn\'t it? The people are blindly supporting me, that\'s wonderful."

He gave a big smile.

"But now that I\'m being supported, it\'s time to make the first moves."

Ward cleared his throat and stood up from the throne. After that, he looked at the eight armors in front of him and put a serious expression on his face.

"I WANT YOU GUYS TO SEND MONSTERS TO THE BORDER AND THEN HAVE THEM DESTROY ANYTHING AS THEY CAN FIND IN SOUTHLEIN."

Ward took a deep breath and continued.

"AFTER THE MONSTERS DO THEIR WORK, I WANT YOU GUYS TO GO TO THE BORDER WITH A GROUP OF SOLDIERS. LATER JUST WAIT FOR A MOVE FROM SOUTHLEIN."

He shouted excitedly.

"Wait for a move?"

"That\'s right, they won\'t stand idly by with their villages and cities being destroyed. Nor will they stand idly by with an army next to their border. They will send an army to the border too."

"And after that?"

"After that I want you guys to destroy their army. After that happens I am sure war will break out."

"I understand."

"So now go, do as I ask. And don\'t forget to report everything that is happening!"

"Of course." Saying this the armor number 1 turned and left the room along with his brothers.

Ward threw himself on the throne again and looked at Luna beside him.

"You look excited." She said as she smiled.

"I\'ve never been as excited as I am right now."
