chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hello.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am a human man known as the Conquering King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am the king of the Jidoen Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, a king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, even someone as important as me sometimes faces situations I cannot understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hahaha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did it turn out like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My country lies in a region where around forty small nations are scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This region is called by many different names, but in my country, we call it the Careland Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name comes from an ancient agreement, the Careland Pact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, it is unclear where the Careland Region truly begins and ends……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, there was no need to care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one cared, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only dealt with the problems right in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we attack a country that has food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we attack a country that has money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Short-sighted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is exactly right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what is wrong with that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You say I should make plans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do disasters and enemies come according to plan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not say such foolish things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a king, I must protect my subordinates and my people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be blunt, people of other countries come later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are not wealthy enough to worry about other nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is what it means to be a king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, now that I think about it, when I attacked the Gozlan Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting the Third Princess, who was excellent at domestic affairs, escape might have been the mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, I threatened the Yunodennna Kingdom… no, I bowed my head to the Yunodennna Kingdom, and they sent me twenty civil officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought that was enough to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Princess of the Gozlan Kingdom whom I let escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through her introduction, a group of three female adventurers came to my country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An all-female group was unusual, but their manners toward this king were proper, so I allowed them to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, before I knew it, those female adventurers had taken control of the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might think this sounds like a lie, but it is the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The civil officials working in my country’s Ministry of Internal Affairs were shedding tears of joy as they gave up their seats to an adventurer named Tiselle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving up their seats would have been one thing, but they even happily listened to her orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The generals, who never cared about domestic matters, were subdued by force by an adventurer named Ekaterize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those generals were treated like children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more like… I do not really understand, but she beat them down with some strange martial art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the generals listened to Ekaterize more than they did to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, they still listen to me, but after hearing my orders, they glance at Ekaterize’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that really fine, generals?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the remaining adventurer, E3…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began capturing foreign spies who had been hiding in my country, one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I stood there in shock, wondering how so many could exist, she cheerfully suggested execution methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was frightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I resisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they are foreign spies, killing them without question is not a good idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to explain that it would be more profitable to file complaints with their countries and demand compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do I have to protect foreign spies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it an honor for a discovered spy to be killed on the spot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of custom is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even on the front lines against the Demon King’s Kingdom, it should not be that brutal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, no, maybe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do not know the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the spies were thrown into prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps dissatisfied with that, E3 started hunting bandits and thieves instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those can be executed, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, they cannot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, no, this is not about collusion or anything like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandits and thieves are also citizens of my country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, I am not being hypocritical either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are only acting as bandits or thieves because they are struggling to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can tell because they are not doing things like kidnapping, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just steal food and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I am not saying there is zero damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They take things by force, so it is impossible for no one to get hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there are circumstances where that cannot be helped…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>S-see, even Tiselle says you must not kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must not kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forced labor… what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, wait, wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that not execution by another name?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You would not do something that wasteful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they are so poor that they become bandits or thieves, then we should make them work and give them food?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were possible, this would not be a problem in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This area has a chronic food shortage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buy food from elsewhere?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding countries also suffer from chronic food shortages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Careland region has poor food productivity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buy food from outside the Careland region?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is impossible too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no one who will do business with this region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because we keep attacking merchants who come from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It cannot be helped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We do not kill the merchants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We properly chase them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I think we take almost all of their goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not attack them because we will invite a merchant guild from outside through Ekaterize’s connections?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of connections are those?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a small group comes, the food will not be enough… what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this not a major merchant company that has become powerful in a superpower nation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even I know that name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of connections do you have if you can reach them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ekaterize is a former duke’s daughter from that superpower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she was the one who founded that merchant company?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, I promised that we would not attack the merchant company’s group if they came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also sent word to the surrounding countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is nothing to gain from attacking merchants in the service of a superpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying we did not know would not be an acceptable excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if we can buy food from that merchant company, how are we supposed to pay for it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hate to say it, but we have no money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we searched, we might find some kind of mineral vein, but even if we started now, it would not be in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for the moment, debt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you are acquaintances, they would not lend money with no prospect of repayment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some kind of collateral is required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mineral vein that has not even been found yet would not count as collateral, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do not really understand these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The civil servants working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were nagging loudly about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it really all right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, if you say so, I will leave it to you, but…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is it, Tiselle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have a job for me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something that will benefit the country?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you put it that way, I am the king, so I will do it, but what do you want me to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hold a conference and summon the kings of the surrounding countries?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the neighboring countries, but all the kings in the Careland region?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby ones might respond if we threaten them with force, but distant kings will just ignore us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attack them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who respond will be left alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who do not will be attacked until they send a representative to the conference?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, even if we expand the country, governing it would be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will not govern them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, just make them participate in the conference?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gather everyone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……………………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marching an army requires money and food, you know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we ignore that, the civil servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be very noisy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that really all right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have already talked with the great nation of Yunodenna Kingdom and arranged money and food for the march?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will arrive within thirty days, so I should organize the army?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh, I do not really understand what is going on, but this is my specialty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leave it to me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Y-yes, I know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, I need to write letters and invite them to the conference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am bad at it, but I will do my best!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do not know where the Careland region starts or ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should I do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the king’s job to decide that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…So, it is fine if I decide on my own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am going to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really am going to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1472,"2026-06-05T23:08:42.455Z",1,"novelbin.me","25b1c124c6d73930f5d8f9f91b5319213b46820fc53e7b99477350a2200f3cb5","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-920","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-997",1036,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fisekai-nonbiri-nouka-cover.jpg"]
