Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1094: Conquer for them



The prime minister and chancellor both looked at me with confused looks when they heard this.

The way that they looked at me was as if they were waiting for me to explain what I meant by this, but I didn't say anything as I continued working things out in my mind.

Even if I had the idea, I had to think it through first before proposing it or else it would certainly be rejected by the two of them.

Only after I had finished organizing my thoughts did I turn to them to say, "What if we conquer the Antwerp Kingdom and give it to the Nergiante Dukedom? We'll make them a proper kingdom so they can be a proper ally of ours."

Both the prime minister and chancellor revealed surprised looks after hearing this before knitting their brows again.

Neither of them denied this suggestion and looked like they were considering it, but eventually they shook their heads with sighs as if they couldn't think of a way to approve of this.

"It's impossible to guarantee that they won't betray us if we do help them like this. At the same time, there's the problem of them not even being able to defend their territory if we were to do this." The prime minister said with a serious look on his face.

With a nod, the chancellor continued by saying, "Right, they can't even defend their own territory against the monster waves, what would happen if their territory suddenly increased like that? It would just be speeding up the collapse of the Nergiante Dukedom."

Both the prime minister and chancellor seemed convinced that this would be a bad idea and they both rejected it, but I wasn't discouraged yet. I had been silently listening to the complaints that they made, but the look on my face didn't seem like I had given up.

That was because...what they said was what I had already expected.

Since they could think of this right away, I naturally hadn't missed this while I was formulating my plan.

I had already expected them to make these complaints.

"That's only if we don't interfere, but isn't there a way for us to give them troops to protect their newly founded kingdom?" I said with a mysterious smile on my face.

Both the prime minister and chancellor looked at me with confused looks once more, as if they were trying to figure out what I meant by this.

A look of understanding slowly appeared on the prime minister's face as he started figuring out what I meant by this.

For a moment, he looked at me as if he was trying to figure out if I was being serious or not. Then after realizing that I was serious about this, he knitted his brows to look at me as if I was crazy.

"Are you serious? That is much too dangerous, it's almost as if you're publishing this power. Once the Holy Empire finds out about this, you and I both know what will happen. At the same time, can you guarantee that they still won't betray us if you give them control of it? Also, can you even give them control of those things?" The prime minister just seemed to bombard me with questions after coming to his realization.

I just calmly waited for him to finish before saying, "I can guarantee that they will be able to control them and that even if they control them, they will still follow my orders above theirs. As for the Holy Empire, you already know that this is impossible to hide in the first place, so we can only try to make our allies as strong as possible before it comes to that. Not to mention, this Mark of God of mine should have some use when the time comes."

The chancellor had been confused at first since he wasn't following the conversation, but he eventually picked up on what we were talking about. When he did, there was a serious look that appeared on his face just like the one that the prime minister had.

Even with the two of them grouping up on me like this, I didn't back down as I looked right back at them with a calm look on my face.

Eventually, the prime minister said, "Even if you're confident about this, why would you need to do something like this? We have plenty of land to develop and all kinds of different avenues to expand our power. Is there really a need to care about a smaller country like this?"

The chancellor looked at me as if he agreed with what the prime minister said.

It seemed that both of them just wanted to slowly develop our power and then deal with the empires when they came.

They didn't understand why I did something like drawing attention to ourselves like this. But that was only because they didn't know what would come in the future of the game. Now that I was in charge of this country, I knew that it would only be a matter of time before the truly dangerous stuff came. What had happened so far was nothing more than the early game content, once the late game content came...

Well it was hard to say if we would even survive.

After all, the late game content was content that involved the great war with the demon king and the different empires from the different races.

It would be a very dangerous war, one that would envelop the entire continent.

So I knew that I had to gain as much power as I could during this time.

Perhaps I wouldn't need to if I wasn't locked into the developing my own kingdom route, but there was no helping it since I was locked into this route.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In that case, I would develop this kingdom as much as I could.

As for my answer...

I looked at the two of them and calmly said, "I can feel that something big will be happening, so we should gather as many allies as possible before that comes. I hope that you will trust me on this."
