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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
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.
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.
