Chapter 71: Ungrateful Wrenches

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I actually don’t know much about the King of Spartan. After all, he has just ascended to the throne not long ago.

“I reckon that even within their own country, there aren’t many people who truly understand him.

“But that doesn’t stop me from making a certain deduction. That is that this young king doesn’t have the strength to control the Spartan Kingdom.

“In terms of his age, he is just a teenager. What kind of prestige do you think he has to make the entire Spartan Kingdom submit to him?

“I don’t know much about Marcus, but I have heard about the Spartan Kingdom, and I know a little about their internal works.

“Like most of the barbarians, the Spartan Kingdom is formed by countless tribes. It even includes several countries that used to be kings on the plateau.

“In the past, the king of the Spartan Kingdom used to be an old man who had a certain amount of experience and had the prestige of ruling for many years.

“But if a young man suddenly replaces such a person, would all the tribes in the country be willing to submit to him?

“Not to mention, a few of the big tribes could definitely harbor different intentions. Even the prime minister in the Spartan Kingdom could highly likely establish his own tribe to fight against the king.

“Do you think that under such circumstances, Marcus would be in danger?”

This was actually the history that Lorne was familiar with. During the period when Marcus took over, the Spartan Kingdom was already divided internally and was fighting on its own.

Now that he had used such an analysis, the truth was naturally revealed as such.

These words stunned Kyle and Abner, they had never investigated what the internal situation of the Spartan Kingdom was like.

After all, they were in a remote area, and there were so few entrances to spy on. The land was also very desolate around. Therefore, they never had an interest in keeping an eye on this place right from the beginning.

Therefore, knowing the number of factions that were there in the country, and how fierce the fight between the king and his people, would naturally not be known to them.

However, after listening to Lorne’s analysis, the two of them understood it all in an instant.

Kyle could not help but say to himself, “Marcus is young. The leader must not be weak and the subject to be strong. He can’t suppress the ambitions of so many tribes and subjects under him if he holds no power.

“Therefore, as soon as he ascended to the position of King, the people under him were obviously dissatisfied. They wanted to take this opportunity to tear the Spartan Kingdom into pieces.”

Lorne nodded, expressing his approval of this statement.

“That could be a reason as well. If we’re talking about Marcus, he does seem to have some wisdom and strategy.

“He even sent people to the Lolan Empire to protect himself from certain threats!

“As long as he is under Lolan, it could be seen as a barrier protecting him, he would receive the protection and security of the Lolan Empire.

“The ministers under him and the leaders of the various tribes would have to worry about the Lolan Empire, which is thousands of miles away, and the king of our country sending troops to suppress them were anything to happen to him.

“Once internal disputes break out in the Spartan Kingdom, it will be to the point where war and firearms can not be reconciled.

“Can those leaders and some incompetent ministers really stop our Lolan’s stronghold soldiers?”

Kyle could not help gasp in shock.

“I understand. I finally understand. So that’s the true reason.

“He actually used this as an opportunity to gain a strong backer and shelter himself from the wind and rain.

“When this Marcus person fully develops his wings, then only would he be able to resolve the internal conflicts of his kingdom.

“He’s much too young and has nothing to lose. It may be a little embarrassing going under Lolan’s care right now. However, compared to his own power and position, it would be worth it for him in the future!”

Lorne patted Kyle’s shoulder.

“Old friend, you’re really bright today. You drew inferences from one example.

“But there is one thing you have not mentioned. When Marcus becomes independent, it will be a question of whether he will still recognize the Lolan Empire as the suzerain or not!”

Abner immediately frowned and said, “Lorne, according to what you’re saying, is this Marcus an ungrateful wretch?

“If he’s hungry, he will ask for meat. Once he’s full, he will kick us away. Would there be a chance of retaliation though?”

Lorne pursed his lips and said somewhat helplessly, “Let’s not even mention him. Which of the countries around Lolan aren’t ungrateful wretches?”

Kyle and Abner instantly fell silent.

They could not accept this because it was the truth.

Those small countries and small forces were really a pack of wolf pups.

It was just that Lolan’s strength over them was huge now, so the wolf pups are just laying on the ground pretending to be dogs. However, once Lolan is seen to be in a state of decline, they would immediately turn into hungry wolves.

Kyle could not help but scratch his chin, and then slowly said, “If that’s the case, then we should not accept the Spartan Kingdom’s aid this time, and should focus on our own fight.

“Wait until they’re torn apart, and then we will dispatch the deadly soldiers to clean up the mess. Then, we’ll just sit back and reap the benefits from their struggle. Isn’t that better?”

Lorne immediately looked at Kyle with a look of disappointment.

“You old friend, you really shouldn’t be allowed to govern a kingdom. I can’t believe I even praised you for what you said just now.

“In the end, you turned into a blockhead after just a few words.”

The corner of Kyle’mouth suddenly twitched twice.

“Brother, am I wrong?”

Lorne shook his head violently.

“It’s normal for you to have such thoughts, after all, you are not the king of a country. The king has much more to consider compared to what you want in life.

“If it were up to the King of Lolan, he would definitely not be like you and refuse the Spartan Kingdom’s plea. Instead, he would be happy to be a suzerain kingdom.”

Kyle immediately covered his face in shame. Lorne did not know that they were clearly the same person. Why did his suggestion not seem to be worthy?

He was really too ashamed and really wanted to apologize…

Of course, although he was ashamed, he still had to have a proper discussion about serious matters.

“Lorne, didn’t you just say that Marcus was an ungrateful wretch? Why should he be happy to be a suzerain kingdom now?”

Lorne did not mock Kyle at all. Instead, he pulled Kyle and Abner to his side.

“Because you only saw the surface of this whole situation. You only thought of not agreeing to Marcus’s request, which in turn could cause the whole of Spartan to fall into civil strife.

“Actually, as long as the strategy is implemented well, sometimes, it’s important to feed the wolf pups meet.”
