As the elven queen, she naturally needed to care for her race. If her elves grew complacent because many women dual cultivated with Minato, then Ingrid would fail as the queen.
She couldn't allow such a thing to happen.
Of course, Minato had told her already that the elves were hard-working people anyway! Still, the fact that they had that clear advantage remained.
"Ingrid believes Master will soon have more races to dual cultivate with," The Elven Queen whispered.
All races wanted to dual cultivate with Minato.
Not all could, however.
It was due to the differences in their bodies or that Minato's tastes didn't align with their wishes. The fact that all races wanted him was still valid.
Dungeon Races rarely wished to leave their masters.
If such a feeling appeared in their hearts, they also would do their all to hide at the bottom of their hearts. After all, such a race wasn't useful or worth investing in. The Overlord would dispose of them in the upcoming wars or the dungeon conquest.
That was why everyone wanted to build the closest relationship with their master. Ingrid was one of those queens that feared their master wouldn't treasure her people and that they would be at the bottom.
After all, she was a pretty cute and sexy lady, and her looks were the closest to the fox wife and vulgar princess, quality-wise.
Back then, Minato was still too newbie. Still, he was fortunately past that point, and the elven queen was one of the happiest ladies nowadays.
Her race was the same.
"Master. So far, the new races have focused on building their homes. Your world increases mana output, so their focus lies in improving their strength and land prowess. However, the Overlord Enemies hiding in your world can strike at any point.
Master should appoint a race to build defenses," Ingrid said.
That was just the first part of her talk.
For now, the elven queen let Minato contemplate her words.
"No way for the Overlord Enemies to appear next to my Overlord Pillar. It is in your Elven Forest and close to my World Tree... This alone is a good defense for my power... But if they appear from the outskirts, then we need to properly organize our races..." Minato inferred.
That was when a dazzling smile spread on Ingrid's face, "Yes, Master! Our elves can work with Pebble Golems and Demon Spiders. We can combine our forest magic circles with their defenses and reach the impregnable wall!"
And that was the second part.
Demon Spiders had their dungeons after the forest. The only difference was that it was wrapped in evil, and webs riddled the land. It was a clear contrast to the elven forest, and it was seen the best at the border.
Pebble Golems were the new addition, but Ingrid saw how they fought. Their main battle style was to control the earth for their small or big pebble attacks.
Their pebbles could become big rocks and boulders. They would either roll these at enemies or use them as steel defense. In minor forms, the pebbles were shot from earth cannons, or the golems would bring out the avalanche at their enemies.
Evil Pebble Golems had all their techniques shattered as they couldn't scratch Minato's walls. Of course, Minato also needed to move a lot as he didn't possess any wide-area abilities yet.
Aya nodded, snatched Ingrid's food, then said, "You are air-head when it comes to love, I guess! This is an excellent idea to get achievements! Frost Dwarves and Ice Trolls can actually benefit the most from their cooperation.
One is just brute force, while the other summons ice monsters and traps. Husbando Overlord needs to threaten them with Overlord Enemies from his world!" Aya said with her cheeks full.
Of course, she was right.
So far, Minato wanted everyone to get along. They didn't go against their wishes, but some races didn't like each other much.
For example, Ice Trolls weren't fond of Frost Dwarves and their abilities. In their eyes, Frost Dwarves should equip themselves with weapons and fight bravery on the front.
Similar to them, Demon Spiders lived in the dark forest. The bright and joyful elven forest wasn't an environment they would feel good in.
They couldn't stand the presence of elves.
But if it was working together against one goal, it would be different. That goal would threaten their current pace and freedom, so all races surely would drop their natural dislike and work diligently for their future.
Minato nodded, "I guess Bartlo can wait for a while. I think I just heard a slap, so it's good for both of us."
He smiled.
After Minato's family ate their dinner, Minato returned to his world.
Ingrid also ate since Minato praised her endlessly.
-
While Minato gathered all representatives in his world, the Overlord's fame rose in another world. Not even a day passed, but the Hard Steel Empire learned about Minato and what he did to their fourth royal prince.
They all grimaced at all those news, yet no one said anything.
A man with different features than the Hard Steel Empire's people parted his lips, "He has taken a different approach this time. Quite an entertaining Overlord newbie this time."
"Have you really... killed an Overlord before?" The Emperor asked.
"Yep," That very man replied in a jubilant voice, "Overlords are cursed, you know? They carry enemies within themselves. I know a nice trick against them, so... I am invincible in all low worlds."
The Hard Steel Empire's Royal Family could only believe this guy and his people.
Their strength was no joke, and they were the main reason all Empires decided to absorb all kingdoms!
That existence chuckled, "A different approach makes me believe that this new Overlord formed a good relationship with the Majestic Ice Kingdom. Do you want revenge, The Emperor? Erase that kingdom then."
