Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 987: Let’s crush them

There was a calm that came after the visit from the Holy Empire.

Everyone knew that this was nothing more than the calm before the storm, but when the storm came, it didn't come in the form that everyone thought that it would come in.

Instead of the Holy Empire initiating it, it was our kingdom that initiated it.

That was because everyone else was just too busy dealing with the monster waves.

So instead of them coming to us, we were the ones that came for them.

As for who 'them' was, it was the kingdoms that were around our kingdom.

After some time, the former Midra Kingdom had basically been folded into our kingdom. It seemed that most of the people of the former Midra Kingdom were very happy that they had been taken over since the nobles of the former Midra Kingdoms had oppressed them quite a bit.

Now that they were free from the oppression of the Midra Kingdom nobles, the people of the former Midra Kingdom thrived.

At the same time, they were happy because we gave them plenty of food when they had been starving from the monster waves.

After raiding the stores of the Midra Kingdom nobles, we actually had plenty of food for not just the people of the Midra Kingdom, but also our kingdom. This had alleviated a lot of the pressure that we had been feeling and would last until the prime minister's plan came to fruition.

At the same time, since the Midra Kingdom's territory had been incorporated into our kingdom, there was no longer a need for the position of regent.

But that didn't mean that the former second prince of the Midra Kingdom was abandoned.

The prime minister took the former second prince under him and named him one of the chancellors of the kingdom. Though he had this new title, his actual job was to be the prime minster's assistant.

The former second prince didn't mind that since the two of them seemed to get along quite well.

But in light of all this happening, I called the prime minister and the new chancellor of the left into my study.

"Let's crush the surrounding kingdoms." I said to the two of them as they looked at me with curious looks like they were asking me what was happening.

As soon as my voice fell, both of them had shocked looks on their faces. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

They looked at me with narrowed eyes for a moment as if they were trying to figure out if I was being serious or not, but I just looked at them with a calm look on my face.

After a long silence, the prime minister asked, "Why?"

It was a single word, but the meaning behind this word was very clear.

There were a myriad of questions that he was asking me at the same time, but he shortened it all into a single word.

It was the faith that he had in me that I would understand just from this single word.

I looked at him without answering for a bit before suddenly saying, "Because the time is right, because we won't get another chance like this."

The two of them knitted their brows once more before the prime minister asked, "Why now of all time? I already said that we should have done this when the monster waves first started, so why are you deciding to do this now?"

I raised a brow to look at him without saying a thing.

The prime minister knitted his brows upon seeing this before saying, "Is the Holy Empire that much of a threat?"

I shook my head before saying, "It's not just the Holy Empire, I want to make sure that everything is fine before the other empires make their move. It would have been fine to do things in the dark while the other empires weren't aware, but the Holy Empire moving will make them aware. We shouldn't underestimate the empires, so we need to strengthen ourselves while we can."

The prime minister bit his lip when he heard this, but he slowly gave a nod of agreement.

But he didn't accept it right away since there was something else that he had to confirm before accepting.

"Even if we take down those three kingdoms, there's still the problem of taking care of them. If we try to do it with our current supplies, it will be impossible to care for all of the new citizens."

I shook my head and said, "There's no need to use our supplies."

The prime minister knitted his brows when he heard this before looking at me with a serious look to say, "You're abandoning them?"

I could see the clear disappointed look that was in his eyes as he said this.

It was as if he couldn't believe what I said.

The chancellor also looked at me with the same look on his face.

I knew that these people cared deeply for the citizens and even if they were still currently citizens of another kingdom, they still cared for these people since they would become our citizens in the future.

So if I were to really abandon them, they would feel that I had betrayed their trust.

But I had planned for everything.

"There's no need for us to take care of them with our own supplies. There's plenty of supplies in their kingdom to take care of them, but the nobles are too corrupt to share them in the first

place."

Both the prime minister and the chancellor knitted their brows even more when they heard

this.

They looked at me like this for a bit before saying, "Are you sure about that?"

It wasn't that they were questioning me, it was just that they didn't feel that this would be the case with how bad the monster waves were in the surrounding kingdoms.

But I had one thing in my name that I had confidence in.

My knowledge from the game.
