My Subordinates Aren't the Sharpest Tools in the Shed

He transmigrates into a world of swords and magic, becoming an impoverished lord with not a single follower.

Things look bad from the start, but then he obtains the City Lord Recruitment System, which lets him recruit followers for free.

But after recruiting them, Ron discovers that they aren't very bright and can't talk.

They aren't afraid of death. The moment they see an enemy, they charge in with a roar, ready to fight to the death.

They treat women with generosity and chivalry, and beautiful elves and adorable beast-girls from beyond their lands all consider them "such good people."

They're evil, too. They show no mercy to ugly demons, plundering their equipment and destroying their buildings.

Even Ron, the city lord, can't make heads or tails of the way they think.

Only after their help makes Ron king of the Dawn Empire, and the day their ability to speak is unlocked, does he find out the truth.

They've been calling themselves players all along.
