Ironclad Oathkeeper: My Subordinates Can Level Up

Any Stories Where the Protagonist Builds Their Own Faction, With Powerful and Utterly Loyal Subordinates?

The protagonist doesn't have to lift a finger: their subordinates do all the fighting, and the whole myriad worlds are terrified just hearing about them. I want a story with plenty of chapters, something really satisfying to read, with the plot always moving forward.

Enslavement, System, Building a Faction and Rising to Power

The Protagonist Leads a Faction and Has Tons of Underlings. No Getting Personally Involved!!

No matter whether it's about a ruler building an empire or a court official serving the throne, stories in this genre are always disappointing. The protagonist always handles everything personally and steamrolls everyone. What the hell do I need subordinates for, to sit around doing nothing? Don't they scheme against each other or want to rise up? You do everything yourself?
