I, the Supreme Overlord, Start by Enslaving the Zerg Queen
Chapter 33 - 33: Target of All

The two women quickly processed the information in their minds upon hearing what Charles had said.

Firstly, the enemy had substantial numbers and likely decent combat strength, otherwise, their master wouldn't be mobilizing the entire Zerg force.

Secondly, the enemy wasn't overwhelmingly powerful. After all, they could establish Zerg-nests and relocate at any time. Even if they abandoned some Zerg, they could still rebuild their forces with the Armory and main Zerg.

Lastly, the enemy was likely from the Continent of Overlord channel, given that their master only showed such enthusiasm for conquest on the continent, otherwise, he was just a lustful homebody.

In conclusion, their Zerg territory must have provoked widespread anger, or those clueless fools planned to gain something, leading to a collective assault.

However...

Catherine cautiously asked, "Master, are the enemies from that channel?"

Charles didn't bother to hide anything. He nonchalantly nodded and said, "Yes, it's those bastards. About three thousand mid and low second-tier units will clash with our Zerg."

"Perfect timing. We haven't flexed our claws in a while, and people seem to have forgotten about us. Let's use this coalition to cement our position in the Serene Forest."

At this stage, an army of around three thousand second-tier units could practically sweep the battlefield like an invincible force.

But there was one variable... the existence of Charles, the Zerg Overlord.

With over ten thousand Zerg units, even discounting the non-combat worker worms, there were still thousands of combat units. After a month of development, their forces had become quite robust.

Apart from not having aquatic units for now, they even had biological satellites!

With such power, dealing with those ragtag armies would be effortless...

After giving the orders, Charles waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, you two go make preparations. Catherine, you should also observe how Medusa handles things. Given your dominion skill and information network, you ought to learn more about commanding units."

However, the two female slaves didn't leave this time. Medusa knelt down first, her face full of guilt, and said, "Master, is this calamity upon us because we slaughtered that Goblin Overlord last night?"

This matter itself wasn't difficult to guess, Charles was a rather gentle person.

Therefore, the two women could freely browse the parchments and understand a bit about the matters within.

However, Charles's gentleness had its limits—except when he was issuing orders or during intimate moments... At those times, the master was particularly dominant and assertive.

Of course, they didn't dislike it then, in fact, they liked it even more.

At other times, he was a relatively mild Overlord. So, the only variable was the death of that tainted blood, which had brought about this calamity.

As for the concept of "red names," Medusa, being a native, didn't quite understand... After all, she was born in an era when the Continent of Overlord had already stabilized, with major forces entrenched in their territories.

Hearing Medusa's self-reproachful voice, Charles didn't lift her up but instead, with an inexplicable expression, asked, "Medusa, don't underestimate your master. Do you think I wouldn't know about these things?"

"You're overthinking, fearing that your master will abandon you. It's merely an ant, even if it brought a swarm of ants, what difference would it make?"

He had been kind to people before because some individuals were worth such treatment, driven by interests. Now that he had access to the Global Channel, his transactions in the regional channel had significantly decreased.

The people worth treating well had already been identified, and they could even form a group to chat casually.

Thus, he could completely massacre all unfriendly Overlords within the Serene Forest!

Medusa was stunned upon hearing this, then gritted her teeth and said, "That tainted blood dared to covet your possessions. Even if it meant my death, I would still have slaughtered him!"

Catherine nodded fiercely in agreement.

For the two women, Charles's interests were above all else!

Being his possessions, they wouldn't allow themselves to be defiled, let alone be seen by others.

Charles nodded in satisfaction at their words.

It's just killing someone, just a red name, it's not like the sky is falling!

"But master, after all, it was us who killed the man. How about you punish us a few more times?" Catherine blinked her large eyes, her tone full of allure.

Charles silently rubbed his forehead, looking at the two women who seemed ready to strip down and head to the training room at any moment. He was both exasperated and amused.

With a speechless smile, he said, "You two look like you're expecting another training session... Come on, it's wartime. Let's be serious, alright?"

"This matter is closed. If you want to be trained, you'll have to wait until this situation is resolved. With flies buzzing around, I'm in no mood for that."

"Besides, I've just thought of an interesting experiment... The more they come, the better!"

Charles was indeed quite capricious.

Even if today Medusa had killed Megan Takeshi out of mere dislike without any legitimate reason, he wouldn't have said much.

Why did he establish the Zerg force if not to become stronger and protect himself?

Ultimately, it was to protect those he loved and who loved him... The lives of others were of no concern to him.

Moreover, this time, it was that shameless individual who had grown tired of living and dared to covet his female slaves. Not snatching that scoundrel's soul and lighting a lantern with it was already merciful.

Three thousand second-tier units? Bring it on!

Hearing their master say this, Catherine and Medusa were a bit disappointed that he wouldn't punish them, but they wouldn't go against his will.

"Yes, master! I'll muster the Zerg soldiers and thoroughly eliminate the invading enemies!" Medusa's eyes were filled with unwavering determination, a reflection of her absolute loyalty and trust in Charles.

"I'll get to work too. I need to focus on my research and strive to unlock the secrets of the Blood of the Overlord!" Catherine said with great enthusiasm.

Hearing the energetic voices of his two foolish yet spirited female slaves, Charles nodded with a smile and then granted them additional permissions.

Wartime... Wartime was the perfect opportunity to eliminate those within the Zerg ranks who had no potential for advancement through battle.

As the two women walked away, Charles took out a red box from his system space.

Inside the box was a Bloodthirsty Zerg, peacefully asleep.

This was the fifth Bloodthirsty Zerg that Charles had specifically commissioned Catherine to produce for his research.

...

Serene Forest.

Within the encampment of the Overlord Grand Alliance.

Countless second-tier powerhouses from various races patrolled back and forth, their movements accompanied by heated debates inside.

"Idiot! Megan Takeshi was a warrior of our nation. Since he is dead, it is only natural that we, the Sakura Nation, lead the charge for revenge. The position of alliance chieftain should rightfully belong to us!"

"Oh, give it a rest. What can a tiny country like yours lead? If you're really capable, go solo against Number One. If not, leave it to our Lighthouse Nation!"

"I believe our White Elephant nation is the most competitive!"

The arguments continued, with no one willing to relinquish their claim to the alliance chieftain position.

They knew full well that everyone was here with their eyes on the Heart of the Overlord from Number One, making genuine cooperation impossible.

What if someone from a particular nation became the leader and then sent other countries into the fray first to weaken their forces?

Given the current scenario, they were almost certain of victory!

With over three thousand second-tier combatants, what did it matter if Charles had a few top-tier third-tier experts? Surely, one third-tier powerhouse couldn't annihilate three thousand enemies, could he?

If the disparity in ranks was that significant, why wasn't there a similar gap between the first and second tiers?

So, this meeting wasn't really about discussing strategies to deal with Overlord Charles (Number One), it was about how to ensure they and their countries got the largest share of the spoils.

Number One was a treasure trove that could make someone immensely wealthy overnight!

They were like a band of pirates about to set sail for treasure, vividly describing the outcome of their success.

But... they paid no heed to the fact that there was the Continent of Overlord.

Treasures existed, yes, but whether they could claim them was another matter.

After all, the deep sea held not just treasures but also sea monsters.

If Charles were to be given a name, he would be the Kraken of the sea monster realm.

An undefeatable, god-like sea monster!

And at that very moment, the first vanguard dispatched by the Overlord Alliance was already suffering an unprecedented ambush.

"Aargh! Quickly inform the coalition, there are remnants of Number One's Zerg here, all formidable second-tier entities, and there are... three hundred of them!"

The coalition troops wailed as they were slaughtered by the weakest of the combat units, the Zerglings...
