As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

As for the specific situation in Dawn...

Morning Star only knew that the Queen of Dawn Kingdom was the Saint of the Abyss, who seemed to be pretty good-looking.

"Your Highness, according to your plan, the Kingdom's troops have successfully occupied Black Sand Castle and the surrounding areas, but..."

Ross, who was standing by, was halfway through his report when his expression changed noticeably.

It seems that the matter regarding the Black Sand Castle is not as simple as it seems to be.

"It's alright, this is the plan I advocated, so even if there are any disadvantages, it's not your fault."

Chen Xing waved his hand calmly, even though he didn't even know what the plan was.

But there are some things that cannot be simply blamed on subordinates' poor performance.

He was well aware of how complex this world was.

How could he blame his subordinates for their poor performance just because of one or two failures!

Chenxing still trusts the people in this hall.

"Although the Black Sand Castle has been occupied, the people living in the Black Sand Castle..."

"You don't accept surrender?"

Morning Star also guessed what Los wanted to report.

It is normal to occupy a city but not be popular among the people.

After all, the Black Sand Castle was not obtained through conventional means, not to mention that the place was originally the territory of the Dawn Kingdom.

It's not necessary for Chenxing to be furious over such a small matter. He is not that petty.

On the contrary, Morning Star is very clear that those who do great things often fail miserably if they get too hung up on such things.

"They said...they said Your Highness..."

Los lowered his head, unable to describe the "dirty words" coming out of those people's mouths.

In her opinion, this guy who disrespects His Highness should be...killed!

His Highness clearly gave them the opportunity to live a good life and even embrace a bright future. They didn't cherish this gift. It's really...

A huge sin!!

"Well, don't worry too much about it. Let others say whatever they want to say. I won't lose a piece of meat. Even if they curse me, it can't change the fact that Black Sand Castle has been occupied by us, right?"

Chenxing was exceptionally calm.

How could he, who has long been exposed to the modern Internet, get angry over such a small matter?

Swearing? These natives of another world are far inferior to the majority of netizens.

But Chenxing doesn't care, but that doesn't mean others...

“No! Your Highness’ dignity as the leader of the kingdom must not be violated!! Although Your Highness is kind enough, but... you must not let others think that this kindness is equivalent to weakness!!”

Agnes said, frowning.

The murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.

Not only Agnes, even Finn, who once worked for the "most benevolent" Holy Empire, nodded in agreement.

Kindness is not the same as goodness.

Especially for a country's leader, matters of face are extremely important!

On the surface, a concession may seem harmless, but what kind of impact will it have if other people notice it?

"I agree with the Red-haired Demon God. Even if Your Highness has a kind heart, those who blindly resist Your Highness' existence... must be punished. Otherwise... where is the dignity of Your Highness and the kingdom?"

Finn's words made everyone present nod in agreement.

Only Chenxing scratched his head in embarrassment for a moment.

Of course he could understand what Agnes and Finn said.

But how to deal with it specifically...

This was also his first time as a king. He could still learn some of the kingdom's development strategies through the memories of the time travelers, but this punishment method of killing a chicken to scare the monkey...

You can't kill all the men and capture all the women, right?

That would make him a tyrant who could be killed by everyone.

Chapter 3 When I swapped positions with Your Highness last night

"Ahem, I understand what you are saying, but..."

Morningstar waved.

Attack the Dawn Nation...

Even if these things had not happened now, he would definitely have taken some action.

In any case, the Dawnbreak Kingdom is one of the important enemies of the Tyrant mission, and Morningstar is not so merciful to its enemies.

But the Dawn Kingdom is not like the rotten fish and shrimp of the resistance army. Not only is it strong on the surface, but it even has the support of the Holy Kingdom behind it...

What Morning Star was worried about was naturally not the Dawn Kingdom and the so-called saint.

With the tyrant points in his hands, the Saint of the Abyss from the Dawn Kingdom is not enough.

The key point is the Holy Kingdom behind the Dawn Kingdom.

Morning Star was not stupid, and he could naturally see that the Dawn Kingdom was most likely a chess piece sent by the Holy Kingdom to test the country.

Rather than saying that the Kingdom of Grulith will face the Kingdom of Dawn next, it would be better to say that the real enemy is...

At the top, the Holy Religious Kingdom!

"But? With your current strength, it would be easy for you to make those people at the border of Dawn Kingdom pay the price, right?"

Ross asked in surprise.

Not only her, even Xila couldn't figure out what Chenxing was hesitating about.

Even if the fight between His Highness and Agnes was just an act, the magic of summoning the dragon was real.

The legendary Red-haired Devil plus the methods of His Highness, the mere Dawn Kingdom...

"Don't you understand this? Since Your Highness is hesitating, it's because of... those people from the Kingdom of Grullit who live on the border!"

Agnes "spoke the secret"!

Not to mention the other people present, even Chen Xing was slightly stunned, not knowing when he had ever thought about such a thing.

"If we just keep waging war, even for the sake of your dignity, it will inevitably cause the people of the Kingdom of Grullit to suffer. This kind of thing... is completely contrary to your original hope!!"

Agnes calmed down and figured out what was going on.

His Highness...has never fought wars for the sake of war. Instead, he became the first person to start a war in order to prevent wars in the future.

Everything your Highness has done is for Grullit, and even for the bright future of this world!

However, because of his "personal selfish desires", he wanted to carry out a unilateral punitive massacre!

Am I really too immature compared to His Highness?

His Highness is worthy of being His Highness. He looks so confident. I'm afraid that when he was "cooperating" with me last night, he had already thought of what to do for today.

Otherwise, why would they give up the "good time" in the morning and come to the main hall to discuss things.

That is to say...

His Highness has come up with a perfect plan that can solve the problem of the Dawn Kingdom without affecting the people of the kingdom!

But...what kind of plan would that be?

Could it be that......

Your Highness had already thought of it at that time!

When the resistance army targeted the border of Dawn, Your Highness had already thought of how to deal with Dawn?

Otherwise...why would the only territory of the Dawn Kingdom that was captured be this very special place, Black Sand Castle?

"Your Highness, are you planning to...use the Black Sand Castle as an experiment? Experiment...with those 'long-term' strategies you mentioned before!"

Agnes came to her senses.

She still remembered that His Highness wanted to build a country where all races could coexist harmoniously.

No matter where you were born or what race you belong to, you all share the same set of laws and economic system!

With such a grand dream, if one wants a perfect sight, how could there be no experimental target?

The Black Sand Castle...

It's just so perfect.

First of all, the geographical location. Although Black Sand Castle was once one of the territories of the Dawn Kingdom, it happens to be located at the junction of three countries.

The junction of the Kingdom of Grullit, the Kingdom of Dawn, and the Territory of the Fangs where most of the orcs belong!

It is precisely because of the special geographical location that Black Sand Castle has almost become a "trading hub" spanning several races.

"Experiment? Speaking of that place called Black Sand Castle..."

After listening to Agnes' explanation, Finn obviously reacted and couldn't help but sigh at Morning Star's foresight.

Just dealing with a rebel group that is not even worth mentioning, but you can think of so many consequences.

Even those old guys in the Holy Empire can't do it to this extent, right?

To what extent has His Highness Morning Star's strategy and vision reached?

"Ahem... I didn't expect you to find out after all, Agnes..."

Chenxing coughed twice.

I don't really know what to test and what not to test.

But since both Agnes and Finn said so, what can I do?

Besides, I already lost to Agnes last night. If I lose face again...

Better say goodbye.

A man's dignity must not be violated!

"Of course. When I was exchanging seats with you last night, I was actually thinking about the Black Sand Castle..."

"Ahem! There's no need to go into so much detail. The point is the Black Sand Castle! The Black Sand Castle!"

Listening to Agnes describing what happened last night as if nothing had happened.

Even if the other person is not embarrassed, I will be embarrassed!

That kind of thing, not to mention the embarrassing behavior of getting tired and then taking over the other person...

If this gets to the ears of other people, it will damage the emperor's reputation!

"Regarding the situation of Black Sand Castle, I have actually thought of a corresponding strategy, although it may be far from your own plan..."

"It's okay. Even I need to listen to other people's opinions to improve myself. No one is perfect, so don't worry about it, Agnes!"

Chen Xing explained calmly, his skin was so thick that it could be said that it was even thicker than that of the defensive artifact.

After listening to Chen Xing's words, the people present looked at him with more respect.

Isn't this kind of performance...just what a most outstanding king should do?

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I'll just say it directly. Actually, the plan I came up with is very simple. All we need to do is crush them!"

Agnes explained with a firm look in her eyes.

This is also what she learned from Morning Star...

The only way to truly defeat the enemy completely is to...crush them!

But this so-called crushing is not simply about force, but...

"Since those idiots in Black Sand Castle are unwilling to accept you, Your Highness, then we don't need to pay any attention to them. We can simply use your ideas and wisdom that far surpass everyone else to crush them in terms of means, economy, and even ideas!"

"If they are willing to submit, they will naturally be able to see the excellence of your ideas. If they are not willing...they become stepping stones or even sacrifices for your highness to try out new ideas and new strategies, and it is entirely...their own fault!"
