Chapter 14

The first step to becoming a king!

It was relatively easy for the takeover to begin, this time I did not give a damn about the states’ owner, I bounded him to his new room – a disgusting jail cell, it was quite amusing actually, and the man had begged us for his life.

I will do anything to kill Elizabeth, she put me through hell, and with the Sixthar in my hands I will kill all the summoned players. That girl hasn’t delivered the help she promised, as in her second summoning.

I was in the previous states owners’ office, it was quite luxurious, and it was covered in transactions and all sorts of business related things. I took all the young men, and asked Elder Liu to teach us the ins and outs of combative situations. I’m also going to try capture the other provinces of this common land, called the Kingdom of Heavenly Fortunes. The name accurately described this land, that wasn’t a good thing. This land enslaved humans to work, the class different was as if comparing dirt and gold.

Using the phone, I had gathered enough information on automatic weapons, so I replicated them. Now I have a bunch of soldiers who are armed with rifles, and are very adequate in martial arts, and now Chandrelle is teaching them magical arts – and on top of that, they’re willing to die for me. Why? Because, I told them this is to restore commoner rights.

Rule 1 of siege warfare, no one dies for a cause, they die for the man who hired them – using this logic I successfully manipulated them into thinking this is what they’re dying for. Of course, I’m actually going to restore the rights, but I will use demi-humans as the labour force now. The door swung open, revealing my elected general, Zhu Yun. He was especially loyal, even willing to kill his closest friends for me – a valuable asset.

“I have acquired information on the province you’re planning to attack, my lord.”

He handed me a set of files, they were nicely written. He bowed to me and left the room. I had established a high sense of discipline through my soldiers. I scanned through the files, I had convinced the other province’s labours to join my guild – Oracle of Mirol, and Mirol was an extremely powerful commoner, his power could rival that of the strongest mages, he was born as nothing but the dammed son of prostitute, born in a goddamned brothel, but from this he became something that no one would’ve thought – a mortal of power that no one could harness, if you though Karna was a powerful mortal, this man achieved his power based on his willpower.

Thus his story, resonated with oppressed mortals, after all, they wished to rise and become an accomplished man like him. I extracted the main variables of the other state ran by Yin He:

– Yin He’s children were very powerful martial artist, I doubt there subjects would betray them. - They often gained food from merchants that travelled into the castle. – They had high medical proficiency and knowledge – Thanks to the ill-informed advisors, my state was weak, thus they were planning an attack.

Very good, now we can attack them by opening they’re gates by sending soldiers to attack the merchant’s carriage, sneak in, poison the food or if that fails, stick bombs into the carriage, and try to cause as much chaos as we can, than another team can extract the goods, while some of the soldiers are causing massive damage.
