Chapter 75: Lolan Shall be the Overlord of the World!
Looking at the few important ministers in the palace who had reacted well, Kyle’s confidence immediately soared.
He said, “In the name of the so-called suzerain country, the biggest use is to be able to legitimately station troops at the Spartan Kingdom.
“And once something happens, we can use the excuse of protecting our vassal country to mobilize a large army from within and interfere in the politics of the entire Spartan Kingdom.
“When the time comes, we, the Lolan Empire, can be taking part in all the matters of the Spartan Kingdom. Although it won’t directly expand our territory, it will undoubtedly increase our strength.
“In any case, these foreign barbarians are just a bunch of ungrateful wolves and won’t notice a thing. So technically, there’s nothing wrong with doing this.”
As soon as Kyle finished speaking, everyone’s breathing paced quicker. Everyone’s eyes seemed to be glowing with desire.
This was a group of talented people who had more than ten years of political experience and had received higher education ever since they were young.
Kyle had delivered the message well. Naturally, they understood everything. Once they become the suzerain, they would have the opportunity to manipulate the entire Spartan Kingdom in the palm of their hands
Just thinking about it made them feel excited.
Thinking about it this way, Marcus basically handed the Spartan Kingdom on a silver platter.
These few ministers were not old scholars, and they had never paid attention to the rules of benevolence and propriety towards foreign tribes.
On the contrary, they felt that this action was very reasonable. As long as it was beneficial to the Lolan Empire, it was enough. As for the rest of the reasoning, they chose to turn a blind eye.
At that moment, the ministers’ thoughts began to drift, and they even began to think about the distant future of taking the initiative to stir up a dispute.
After all, if there were no internal problems in the Spartan Kingdom, it would be impossible for the Lolan Empire to send troops at will. So, why not take the initiative to play dirty tricks instead for a little push?
Should they send people to plot against Marcus? Or deliberately support some of the large tribes and powerful ministers in the Spartan Kingdom to take the initiative to control them to fight?
It had to be said that these ministers were all experienced in playing dirty tricks, conspiring, and playing political tricks.
As soon as Kyle relayed Lorne’s idea, they had already thought of how to create opportunities on their own initiative in the future.
Rosen even exclaimed in amazement, “Your Majesty, how do you think Lorne came up with such an amazing idea?
“Communication between countries is an extremely high-level trick of power. Ordinary people would never even see through it on the surface, so how could he think so thoroughly?
“If he really wants to formulate Lolan’s foreign policy, I reckon that the Bora Kingdom will be played like a fiddle by Lorne without even sending troops.”
Kyle glanced at Rosen.
“Why are you asking me, shouldn’t you ask him?”
Rosen immediately choked on his words. If Lorne himself was here, he would probably have to explain it to them. He had learned this trick from the tavern owner himself. It had to be said that he was very clever.
Although it was overbearing and disgusting, it allowed him to achieve his grand wish of swimming in money.
That was why Lorne naturally always put up a show in front of them.
After discussing this plan for a long time, Kyle sat down on the chair.
He then instructed the others, “Rosen, you and Abner will go find envoy Puye later. Let him know to prepare for a meeting.
“Tomorrow morning, I will call him to the palace and explain this matter to him. Then, let him go back and discuss the terms with Marcus.
“As for the two of you, try your best to prepare all the necessary procedures and documents in the shortest time possible. I believe that Marcus will definitely agree.”
Everyone agreed one after another. Kyle leaned back on his chair and thought about the following scene in his mind. Suddenly, he laughed evilly.
“This method is the best method thus far. When the matters in the Spartan Kingdom are settled, I’ll have to issue such an order to the other countries.
“In any case, my Lolan Empire doesn’t have anything to offer, but we do have a lot of soldiers that are enough to be stationed in various countries.
“When the time comes, Lolan can build a few fortresses. By then, half of the world will be under my control!”
This time, Kyle had really shown his quick wit. Without realizing it, Lorne had led him on the path of becoming a world overlord.
…
During the meeting the next day, Kyle unsurprisingly showed a rather strong and imposing manner. He requested that troops be stationed to build fortresses, or else he would refuse to become the suzerain.
However, in the face of such a strong request from Kyle, the envoy, Puye, did not directly reject it. Instead, after sensing Kyle’s determination, he indicated that he would go back and ask his king, Marcus.
This made King Kyle and the others even more certain of Lorne’s pure judgment. As expected, the Spartan Kingdom needed something from them.
This also strengthened Kyle’s request to station troops. If they did not agree, they would not become the suzerain and let the Spartan Kingdomfight within themselves.
Under such circumstances, the exchange of terms between the two countries continued for three days. Puye had no choice but to send people to rush back to the country and ask Marcus for his opinion.
However, the outcome had long been predicted. Lolan had gained another vassal state, and from then on, Lolan shall embark on the road to becoming a world overlord. There was no doubt about it.
…
After handling this matter, Kyle finally had some free time.
With free time, King Kyle naturally remembered the previous agreement with Lorne.
He still had two things that he had yet to accomplish.
One was the business of refining crude salt that he had previously agreed upon, and the other was to call First Prince Weiss to go to the tavern to acknowledge Lorne as his teacher.
These two things were very important. One was related to whether he could become a happy king with wealth and freedom in the future, and the other was related to how his crown prince could be nurtured.
When he thought of this, Kyle, who was resting in the study room after the meeting ended, instructed the servant who had been standing guard by his side.
“Go to the First Prince and tell him to come over. Inform him that I have something to share with him.”
The servant immediately bowed to Kyle, then quickly ran out and walked all the way to the First Prince’s residence.
Kyle did not wait long in the study room. There was a burst of hurried footsteps outside, but when they reached his door, the footsteps slowed down.
The door of the study room was gently pushed open with a click, and then a tall, handsome young man walked in from outside..
