In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

Everyone nodded, reflecting on the changes that had taken place.

Lena instinctively wanted to see if there was anything different about herself, and the next second she actually "saw" the structure inside her body.

"That's the power of my Mystic Eye. As long as it's within the range of my Mystic Eye's power, you can also use its power."

Lister gave them experience and strength so that they would become his brothers and sisters, serving as his base to govern Red Maple Territory and accomplish what he had no time to do.

"Now I'll assign the tasks."

"Cortini is responsible for planning and supervising the development of the territory. Apart from necessary reports, she can make decisions on her own. If she is unsure about something, she can consult with me."

The half-elf housekeeper, Cortini, nodded in understanding.

"Betty, Prie, Nadia, and Elsa, in addition to your daily maintenance of Red Maple Castle and ninjutsu training, you four should also spend some time helping Cortini, and at the same time, communicate well with Shiro."

Nadia, as the head maid, said she would arrange the work.

Because of their chakra cultivation, the four of them became much more efficient at doing things, freeing up a lot of time. They could even take turns practicing in pairs because of their shared experience.

"Lena, Campbell, Garcia, Orsis, and Skalinka, in addition to your daily physical and combat training, you five will also patrol the territory during the circumnavigation of Red Maple Territory to assist Morag's work."

Lena and the others immediately responded that they would faithfully complete all tasks.

As for Lister, the time he spends on government affairs will be greatly reduced, and more time will be devoted to improving his abilities and dealing with matters concerning people from another world.

Expulsion powers can only serve as a deterrent; more often than not, he still needs to rely on his own strength to negotiate with the bigwigs.

Without strength, one's words carry no weight, let alone the power to become the Speaker of the Multiverse Council and wield influence.

Liszt always liked to set a grand goal first and then move forward step by step, but that doesn’t mean he lacked self-awareness.

He knew his advantage lay in possessing the system and knowing the fates of the recruits.

He was also aware that his disadvantage was compared to their weak individual strength and power.

When competing with others, one should naturally play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses.

He needs to leverage his strengths while also making up for his weaknesses.

Establishing a parliament is not a goal that must be achieved immediately. If he decides to express his idea of ​​establishing a parliament to Madara and others, it can only mean that he is more than 90% sure that he can succeed.

If establishing a parliament is more beneficial than harmful to everyone, then there will be no resistance to it.

So what he needs to do is to create this situation so that everyone can benefit, and to become the most crucial link by leveraging his irreplaceable nature and credibility.

Inside the red maple forest, Liszt sat cross-legged in front of the plant species Little White, gazing at the white flowers swaying in the wind.

His brain was working at lightning speed, constantly categorizing and connecting information about Madara, Aizen, Muzan, and Yuri.

He already had a general idea of ​​what to do.

Now, he is waiting for someone.

Before this person returns, he must prepare for battle!

Lister drew his Zanpakuto; the throne was now firmly in his grasp.

A golden spiritual pressure swirled around him, and the resulting breeze made the red maple leaves rustle.

Since receiving the Copying Mystic Eye from the system, his magic power has increased dramatically every day, and the spiritual power and chakra he can convert have naturally become several times stronger.

If magic power were converted into chakra, he would probably have as much as ten Sharingan Kakashis.

He's strong enough to fight Muzan Kibutsuji!

however……

Lister trained until midnight but no one came.

Hey!

Just how afraid of death is that scumbag?!

You survived basking in the sunlight in this world without ever thinking of coming here to find out what happened?!

Can't you be a little more ambitious?!

Chapter 37 Red Maple Town on the Right Track

Although Muzan Kibutsuji's cowardice surprised Lister, it did not hinder his plan.

Haste makes waste; trying to achieve quick results when one's foundation is not yet solid will only lead to bad outcomes.

Moreover, he was facing people like Madara, Aizen, and Yuri, who understood human nature very well. To unite their strength and develop Red Maple Territory, he had to proceed slowly.

Therefore, the next morning, Lister temporarily put aside his idea of ​​establishing the Council of All Worlds and focused his energy on Red Maple Town.

He did decide to leave many matters to Cortini, but this period was crucial and he had to keep a close eye on things himself.

Because it's harvest time.

On the western edge of Red Maple Town, Lister and Cortini walked along a path between wheat fields.

Human and orc farmers are bent over, busy in the wheat fields.

When they see Liszt, they will stand up, bow to greet him, and then get back to their work.

Each of them had a bright smile on their face.

"Thanks to Xiaobai, all the crops we planted in our territory have yielded a bumper harvest!"

“Manure, biological carcasses, and kitchen waste are rapidly degraded to increase soil fertility. Waste disposal originally required manual labor, but with Xiaobai, we can save manpower to do other things.”

Kotini's smile was radiant. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, gazed at the vast wheat field, and seemed to already see a bright future.

"Lord Lister, the territory you once envisioned may indeed be realized in just a few decades!"

Lister nodded.

"Yes, now that we have this unexpected encounter with the people from another world, we need to make appropriate modifications to our plans for Red Maple Territory, and the people of the territory need to adapt to the upcoming changes as soon as possible."

"Kortini laughed."

"Now there is plenty of food, and the large amount of supplies you brought from Baiyue City have filled the warehouse."

"The school has been built and the teachers have been selected. There are few things to do this winter, which is perfect for people to focus on their studies."

"Yes, education is of paramount importance. The people of Red Maple Territory cannot stand still."

Lister repeated his instructions once again.

The United States has undergone changes unknown to him, and to guard against potential external threats, simply continuing at the original pace of development is no longer sufficient.

We must make full use of all available resources.

"By the way, how's the town construction going? I don't want a large group of people living in Red Maple Castle again this year."

Last winter, because Red Maple Town was still very rudimentary and many houses were not well-insulated, Liszt had no choice but to let these people live in his castle.

He had told the craftsmen his father sent to build the civilian houses first, but they insisted on building the lord's castle first, as required by the regulations.

Then that winter, the castle was bustling with activity.

Cortini recalled the heavy snow last year, when Lister personally led people outside to kill gnolls and skin them to keep the people warm, and couldn't help but take a small step closer to Lister.

"Sir, don't worry, the houses are all well-insulated and windproof, no one will freeze this year."

"Moreover, Nadia and the others have already learned Wood Release, and combined with Earth Release, the town's construction will be much faster. The villas planned for Red Maple Forest have already been built, and only the furniture needs to be placed in them."

"The craftsmen are now inspecting the territory, observing where repairs are needed."

On his way back to Red Maple Territory from White Moon City, Lister had asked Madara for advice, wanting to learn Wood Release.

Perhaps Ban wanted to know if he could learn it, so he taught him.

As a result, Nadia and the others who received the transmission experience from Lister also learned Wood Release. Even though their Wood Release was just inanimate wood, it was more than enough for building houses and such.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like I'm not lacking anything.

Lister and Cortini walked together on the wide, flat road, returning to the center of Red Maple Town.

Every townsman who saw them would bow and say, "Good day, Lord Lister, Lady Cortini."

Their faces were beaming with smiles, especially the orcs, who were completely different from the numb-faced orcs in White Moon City.

Each of them strives for the future, rather than placing their hopes on nobles who govern them or on some ethereal deity.

"By the way, Cortini, how's the meat stockpiling? Will everyone be able to eat meat this winter?"

“Lord Lister, the Red Maple River is rich in aquatic products, and there are many wild animals in the forests outside the town. Although the aquaculture industry is still in the preparation stage, I think every household will be able to eat meat at least once a week this winter.”

"What about winter clothes? Will everyone be warm enough? Is there enough firewood? If there isn't enough firewood, winter will be very difficult."

"Lord Lister, the tailors have prepared all the winter clothes, the firewood has been centrally managed, and fire prevention measures have been taken. No one will suffer from the cold this winter."

"Where's the doctor? It's easy to get sick in winter, so we need to be prepared."

“Lord Lister~” Cortini’s tone rose playfully by a notch: “Have you forgotten that Carol is here?”

"The priest's holy light can cure most diseases, and the doctors in Red Maple Territory have already built the hospital you mentioned, so every patient will receive timely treatment."

"I see. Does that mean there's nothing missing?"

"Yes, we've talked about it many times."

"Then let's wander around."

"Yes, Lord Lister."

Cortini replied gently. They had had this conversation countless times, but today was the first time it had been repeated since the otherworldly beings appeared.

She looked up at Liszt's profile; his sky-like eyes seemed to hold everything.

As they walked, the two arrived at the center of the town. The difference from half a month ago was that there was now a pool with a statue on it, which was none other than Liszt.

A sentence is carved on the base of the statue—

【The Greatest Lord of Red Maple Territory】

Liszt couldn't help but laugh.

"This statue wasn't here when I came back yesterday, was it? Who did it?"

"Kortini said with a smile."

"It's Betty and Prie. They had been studying earth magic before and spent half a month building the fortress at the pass."
