《I Am an Evil Lord Yet, Why Are They Happy to Serve Under Me?》Chapter 07 : A Meeting Without the Lord's Knowing
Advertisement
Inside a dimly lit room, five figures are sitting around the table.
"Lady Macha, is there a reason why we haven't fully lightened up the room?" Luna asked.
"Because we are planning something bad," she replied.
"Is there a reason for an old man like me to be here?" It was Keith who asked that.
"You are also one of my lord's vassals. You should be here too."
"Can you tell me why did you call all of us here, Lady Macha? I have jobs to take care of." It was Delfina this time.
"I am getting to that. The reason why I called all of you here is I need your advice. You see, although my lord had given me all green to do whatever I want, I don't know any territory that has a grudge with my lord. I want to start from there," Macha made a generic Gendo pose.
"None that I can think of. My lord doesn't usually hold grudge against people," Gurguit replied.
"Wait. What if the territory that hold grudge against Master?"
"That works better. We can eliminate the threat before it endangers my lord," Macha nodded sagely.
Then suddenly a map appears on the table. All the people here are already familiar with Luna's time stop shenanigans.
"This territory. It is the territory of the Oak family. Their family's rank is higher than that of Master. But from what I heard, their forces are not as strong as ours," Luna showed them the territory from the map.
"By the way, Luna, isn't Oak is the place where Urien went for the party? Can you tell us what happened there?" Delfina asked.
Luna proceeded to tell them what had happened at the event. Some of them, no scrap that all of them have anger apparent on their faces.

"Lady Macha, can I also come with you when you go to the Oak territory?" It was Keith who requested that.
"Shouldn't you be here all the time?"
"No, Luna has been doing a great job and I don't have anything else to do. And they dared to plot against the Gregorios, I believe I should teach them some lessons about life," he replied.
"Sure. You can come then," the blue-haired nodded.
"By the way, Keith, don't you want to know where we come from?" Gurguit asked.
"I don't think I would need to know, Sir Gurguit. After all, my lord trusts me enough to summon you all when I am near the summoning process," he replied. "Moreover, he even prepared the background for all of you so that the people from the mansion are not specious of you and less trouble for me. I was moved by how much he cares about me," Keith drys some tears falling down from his eyes with a handkerchief.
Well… the thing is, our idiotic MC didn't know that Keith is near whenever he summoned others. So, naturally, Keith would think that our MC trusts him enough to let him know about the summoning.
"I think Master is summoning another group of people today," Luna placed the cup in front of all the people.
"I wonder what kind of group my dear brother is going to summon."
"From what I heard, they should be some kind of assassination team," Gurguit replied.
"Hmm…" Macha went on with her daily dose of planning.
"Sir Gurguit, can you and your "Knights of the Sun" unit take care of the beasts that will be coming from the Crystal Dew Forest?"
"If there are many beasts, we can use to call upon the past and future heroes from Planet Cray. I can still feel some connection with Planet Cray, so some of the units from the troop would be able to use . For myself, I can with my future self if things get serious," he replied.

"If I may ask, what is that you were talking about?" It was Keith who asked. The other two, Luna and Delfina also looking confused.
"I am sorry. Let me explain like this. refers to the phenomena of heroes from the past and warriors from the future being summoned to modern Cray, in this case, to this world, due to the effect of the aberrant condition 'Interdimensional Crosstalk'. One who possesses a specific and strong image of power they are seeking, and the warrior whose wavelength overlaps with that image. As their wavelengths superpose, the mighty warrior can be summoned from the Interdimensional Crosstalk," Gurguit explained.
"I take it that kind of power has some kind of limit?" Luna asked.
"The only limit would be the timespan. The timespan of is mostly determined by the synchronization between the two parties. As long as the wavelengths of the summoner and the summoned remain superposed, the summoned can maintain their existence in the present time. The training of "Stride" is to train the minds of the summoners, to control their emotions, and maintain the feelings of superposition without shaking. Too bad, I don't have what it takes to ," this time, it was Macha who explained.
"I see," Delfina nodded.
"With this, I can make plans to take care of the Oak family. Luna, you said they will be marching here when the monster stampede starts, right?"
"That is correct, Lady Macha."
"With Gurguit and his knights taking care of the beasts, I can go and intercept them on their way. Those might be their scouting forces before they come at us for real. If we can intercept them and get info from them, it will be easier to cause chaos for them," she grins evilly.
Gurguit, seeing her grin, decided to pray silently for the Oak family. "I've told my lord that it would be a bad idea to give her all green to do whatever she wants. I pray for the Oak family for their safety. But wait, we are going to deal with someone who wants to harm my lord. So, it's okay for her to go rampage, I guess." With that, he stopped thinking.
"I will do something about their supplies and rations. Nobody can mess with my dear brother and freely get away with it," Delfina also grins evilly.
"Of course, I will also have some serious talk with that youngster named Tango Oak," Keith too grins evilly and joined the fray.
"I will also make sure all of their weapons and armors mysteriously went missing," like that, Luna also joined the 'Grinning Evilly' gang.
Looking at the other four ginning and chuckling evilly, poor Gurguit doesn't have a single idea what to do at the moment.
"With this, the meeting is adjourned. Let's have another meeting after overcoming this monster stampede," Macha announced.
With this, Gurguit exited the room and there is only one thing in his mind. "Will this world gonna be alright with this madness?"
