I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

“Do you think, It’s easy to establish a kingdom? If we establish a kingdom here, it will be the smallest country in the world.”

Camille’s words were true.

Even if Lota, Sorun, Lassen and Orth were combined, it would not be as large as one territory of an average kingdom.

Even if you gather a handful of dust, you need at least dozens of them to form a country with these rural territories.

If it is just a territory, then what kind of kingdom can be established by combining four territories that are no more than large villages?

“Everyone will laugh. Where in the world is such a country attached to? They will mock you, saying they have never heard of it, and ask if you call a rural village a kingdom these days. Is that okay?”

“Yes!”

“No one will acknowledge it. It will just be a laughingstock.”

“It’s good if it’s good~ How can you live while caring about others’ views~?”

“Do you want to be laughed at like that?”

“Ah! I don’t know! I want to be a king! Make me a king!”

When Camille did not cooperate, Otto fell flat on the ground, flapping his arms and legs like an overturned cockroach.

“No.”

Camille frowned as if he had seen an unsightly sight.

“Are you a child? Why are you throwing a tantrum? Can a king do whatever he wants?”

“Ah! I don’t know! Make me one! Please make me one!”

“…….”

“If you don’t make me one, I won’t work!”

“Don’t do that. When did you work before? You’ve been lazy for years except for recently.”

“I won’t even eat anything!”

“You seem to have gained some weight recently. I’ll think you’re trying to manage your weight now.”

“I’m going to leave s*it on your desk!”

“Shut up….”

Camille made a face that seemed to say “Oops!”

“Oh, really? Then should I do it?”

“I never told you to.”

“You just told me to take a dump!”

“I said shut up, *@#S, &$#@, *!#$^.”

Camille answered in a disgusted tone of voice.

“Oh~ Make me one~ Make me one~! I want to be a king~! Huhuhuhuhu!”

Otto rolled around on the floor.

For an hour, and such efforts (?) ultimately succeeded in moving Camille’s heart.

“…Fine.”

Camille opened his mouth as if he were helpless in the face of Otto’s behavior.

“What’s so great about being a king? I will address you as ‘Your Majesty’ from now on. No, what is a king? You might as well be an emperor.”

“Ehehe~.” Otto chuckled and skillfully responded to Camille’s sarcasm.

“I have a conscience too, so I can’t do that.”

“….”

“Anyway, You agreed to cooperate, right? We’re going to build our kingdom from today, right?”

Saying that, Otto left Camille behind and went to eat a snack.

‘He’s not even a kid.’

Camille covered his face with his hands in agony from the overwhelming fatigue.

Camille thought to himself.

‘Why is embarrassment always my responsibility?’

Honestly, he felt a little…no, very embarrassed.

* * *

I did use flattery with Camille, but Otto never planned to establish a kingdom with a light heart.

Otto’s plan was to quickly expand his power based on the rewards for clearing ‘Build a Dynasty’ and gain an advantage over other lords in competition. This principle was similar to quickly raising the tech tree in traditional strategy simulation games.

And when you clear ‘Build a Dynasty’, an event occurs where you can obtain the final material for awakening, ‘Orb of Hatred’.

So as Otto, he had to quickly build his kingdom, even if it was for the sake of awakening.

“It doesn’t matter if others laugh or not. As long as I’m happy.”

Moreover, Otto, who was thoroughly pragmatic, was also a personality who didn’t even flinch when criticized.

“But where do we start? Do I just call you ‘Your Majesty’ from today?”

Camille asked Otto.

“Well, we need to have the basics first.”

“Like…?”

“First of all, let’s destroy the habitats of monsters near us, thinking about the security of our kingdom.”

“Okay.”

Camille was not interested in the frivolous story of building a kingdom, but was very interested in subjugating monsters. Monsters were a direct threat to the safety of the people living on this land.

“Where do we start subjugating?”

“Here.”

Otto pointed to the map.

“That’s…”

Camille’s expression hardened slightly.

“Isn’t that the breeding ground for ogres?”

Ogres. Monsters commonly called the king of the forest.

They were over 3 meters tall and weighed as much as 6 tons. To explain it simply, ogres were monsters with specs similar to the largest species of elephants, the African elephant.

They were ten times more fierce than elephants and, being humanoid monsters with bipedal movement, their danger was even greater. Although they did not have special abilities like magic, in terms of pure combat power, they were not inferior to any high-level monsters.

“If we subjugate the ogres here, the road where merchants can pass will open. Then, we can also collect tolls and our kingdom can become the center of logistics in the continent’s border regions.”

Otto aimed for nothing less than a decisive victory, or even more.

If we subjugate the ogres and control the area, a trade route will naturally open up.

But that’s not all. Ogres are a direct threat to the safety of the people.

So, if we succeed in subjugating them, public opinion will naturally improve and public security will also improve.

The benefits of controlling that one region are not just one or two.

“It’s a reasonable statement and a wise judgment. But it’s difficult now,” Camille opposed Otto’s opinion.

“Now is the ogre’s breeding season. If we rush into subjugation, our army could be wiped out.”
