Chapter 159: Happiness (2)

Even after failing to develop a firear up, but all of it ended in failure

‘All the other novels in the world easily un or a tank…’

Milton was disappointed but there was nothing he could do However, it wasn’t like there were no gains Even if it wasn’t a modern weapon, the fact that the ed That’s why the nuhts had increased and the fortresses in the kingdom were all serviced and improved The Destroy breed of horses was increased and a special archer unit was created in response to Trike’s petition And while they weren’t fireardom had produced a variety of weapons that would show a decent effect on the battlefield However, none of these had been put to real use yet It had all just finished developing and being deployed when the war began on the continent Milton found that to be a pity

“Tsk, why are there so many people who are crazy for war?”

“The emperor most likely wanted to lay a foundation for his authority And… it’s said that the Valence Kingdodohed when the topic of the Valence Kingdodom, collapsed, the countries that had been far away from the Republic found that distance to have decreased dradom in particular suffered thea border directly with the Republic Of course, the Lester Kingdom and the Florence Principality also shared a border with the Republic, but the Valence Kingdo the Republic fro South At first, they were flustered, but soan to see it as an opportunity They believed they had the opportunity to step into the role that the Strabus Kingdodoth on the grounds of suppressing the Republic’s expansion With the help of all the aid they had received frodothen their military until they becaest dodom wanted to play that role That’s why they wanted to use it as an opportunity to expand their national power by expanding theiraid frodo such moves, Milton mocked them in his heart

[How optimistic Do you really think that’ll happen, you idiots]

It was exactly as Milton said

Valence Kingdodo countries didn’t cooperate as ht they would The Strabus Kingdododoth at the Valence Kingdodoms were skeptical

There was another reason the Valence Kingdom’s plan was bound to fail — the existence of the Edoood terdom’s influence and authority, which had been raised to keep the Republic in check, had been an eyesore to the Edom was in the dom hadn’t shared a border directly with the Empire That had been the only reason the Edo

But the Valence Kingdom? That country was a vassal country of the E to raise a tiger, you should raise it in a erous to raise it in your own backyard There was no way the Edododom was sternly advised by the Andrews Ecountries

While the Valence Kingdofried had been very busy He decided that while it was too ht now, in preparation for future wars, he should shake the very root of the Valence Kingdo rebellions in the kingdom This was one of the Republic’s specialties and it was unfolding in the Valence Kingdodom had prepared very well for such an action They put in the effort to find the spies but also realized that it was important for the people to be satisfied and paid a lot of attention to it The king had strictly governed the nobles so they could not overtax and exploit the people unjustly and the corrupt nobles were punished openly, giving the perception that the country was on the people’s side This expertise ca a border with the Republic and confronting thedom didn’t have this experience When a spy was sent frodom sent punitive forces to quickly subdue the riots The actions taken so far were alright It was the action afterward that caused their downfall The punitive forces not only burnt the leaders of the riots, but everyone who participated in it, to death Then, they impaled the corpse onto stakes and sent one to each province as a warning It was meant to show the people how terribly rebellions would be quelled and to rule the people with fear

However, that only poured oil into the fla the people with fearAt the very least, the people must feel that the country is on their side in order for them to be patriotic Even if there are punishments and individual freedoms were violated at times, the people must have a perception that the country would protect and not hardoht fear and anxiety to the people Their fear was that the country fried realized what the e He used the Republic’s spies to agitate the people once again — let’s drive out the nobles and create an equal world, or, let’s create a future where our descendants wouldn’t be oppressed What do you think would happen if you gave hope to the terrified people? The people rose up like a ht Sporadic rebellions arose within the Valence Kingdom and each time, troops were mobilized to forcefully squash it down

The rebellions that took place weren’t enough to threaten the authority of the king, but they still created a dangerous situation within the country One, it led to the deterioration of public senti’s regime had reached an irreversible situation Two, the rebellions also led to the breakdown of the nation’s productivity As the people’s rebellion continued, food production declined significantly It was only natural since 30 of the far taxes participated in the rebellions By the tidom realized the seriousness of the situation, it was too late to do so from the inside over the past couple of years

Of course, Siegfried had caused internal strife in the Lester Kingdoion that was originally part of the Hildes Republic Perhaps it was because Queen Leila had dealt with it appropriately but the public sentih there had been several small-scale rebellions, they didn’t have do the public’s opinion

When the Valence Kingdoreatly weakened, they feared the existence of the Republic evena border with the very enedom could only choose one option — to defend the country by leaning on the Edoin with, but now, they were co about the threat of the Republic, the Kingdodoned with the current imperial emperor’s circumstance

“In the end, the Empire will eventually move What should we do?”

When Milton asked Queen Leila for her opinion, she asked him a question in response

“If the Eht, who do you think in?”
