The Young King's Great Ambition
Chapter 41: Eliminating the Great Gap

In the afternoon, where Fermund was relaxing after finishing all his work, he was enjoying the afternoon sky from the window.

Together with his minister and two sisters, they drank tea and ate cookies before lunch arrived.

There came a soldier who brought a messenger from the battlefield, the mission handed out letters and other papers that he brought.

Fermund touched the letter first, he read it, his face was happy and saw the whole letter.

"Did they really give up?" Ask Fermund

"What!, they just give up!" Felis was surprised

"Right, they gave up but with two requests you have to grant them" the envoy replied

"They are in crisis but the king of the Valmurg kingdom is relentlessly collecting taxes every month, it is unfortunate, it will long ago cause a rebellion" said Fermund read information

"Sooner or later, the uprising is going to happen" Felis said

"Then what are you waiting for, immediately call the trade union leader and tell him to send me information about my conquered city that needs goods from merchants"

"I will do it" said the soldier

The soldier went to the trade union immediately.

"What about the other request?" Ask Feona

"I will give you the task of the prime minister's grandfather, to obey their request, bring quality seeds and the most reliable farmers, follow them with their families as well if they do not want to be separated,give them security guarantees and rewards" Fermund ordered

"As you wish"

Minister Rundolph as usual did state work, while Fermund only gave orders and directions, as well as planning.

Turning to the port city of Lenfica, all Svardian fleets had docked, and the enemy navy surrendered in its entirety.

The rich merchants and the high-ranking public immediately protected their property and ordered their slaves to protect them, the bourgeoisie or the rich still keeping their distance from the Svardians.

They sent their unarmed soldiers to speak out loud to be heard by the civilians hiding in their homes.

"O people of the city of Lenfica, don't worry that we've sworn our king never to hurt you, for you're the one our king needs"

"Unlike your king who always levies taxes!, our king is a man who loves trade!, if you give up on our kingdom!,merchants will come to your territory and offer various types of cheap goods specifically for the Fermund king's conquered territories!"

The sound of demolition was heard very loud and noisy, many wooden boxes containing foodstuffs were stored on the deck of the ship.

"You hear that sound, I think there's a wooden box full of groceries!, we want to cook something for you to eat!, you're tired of eating your fish!,come here and enjoy a stew of meat and mushrooms, warm bread and mashed potatoes with spices!"

The soldier began to cook three types of food in large portions and quantities, they prepared a lot of mankuk and spoons, there is also honey water for drinks.

Just as they were about to finish cooking, suddenly came a group of small children of various ages, they were led by a teenage boy.

"Let us eat this, you give this to everyone, right?" Ask the teenager

"Of course this is for all the people in this city, you can call all the hungry people, we'll feed them all, if this food isn't enough,we just have to tell our king to supply more logistics" said the man

They all ate the food, and everyone came out of their houses and asked for the food, there were three long rows of all the townspeople no matter their age, they were waiting in line for a bowl of food.

The loud man stared at Admiral Beryton, who was monitoring him from the deck of the ship, and asked him to write a letter to Fermund about the status and economic gap between the poor and the rich in the port of Lenfica.

Someone wrote a letter and told me everything that happened in that city.

And there were some soldiers who were extracting information about all the things in this city, and they easily told the Svardians everything.

Admiral Beryton knew that the city lord was at odds with his sister, and now his sister might be hiding in a mansion in the middle of the city.

According to information from the poor townspeople, he was a good figure, but he had no supporters and was oppressed by his brother.

Admiral Beryton sent five unarmed soldiers to the mansion.

The guard soldiers in the mansion prevented them from entering, but the soldier sent by the admiral said the admiral wanted a negotiation with the woman.

The woman came to hear everything the soldier said, and she dared to propose to a meeting on their ship.

"I've heard about everything you're talking about, now I'm going to meet your leader and we can negotiate on your ship, I'm coming there with my soldier escort of course"

The woman, escorted by nine heavily armed soldiers, headed to the dock where her ship had stopped.

When yiba was in the harbor, all the poor knew and respected him, and of the many, there was a grandfather who said his request.

"Miss!, your brother is dead!, therefore be the ruler of this city and make this city prosper"

The woman was stunned and admiral Beryton surprised her.

"He is right, for your people to be the ruler of this city and my king will be very happy" Admiral Breyton said

"Are you the admiral who led this attack?" Ask the woman

"True, get on my ship and let's start negotiating"

The two of them were in the captain's room, where a soldier escorting them stood on the wall.

The woman looked at the Thunder Archer's army for the first time, she felt a tremendous force according to the rumors.

"Include me, my name is Rynas, so what you want is to make me ruler of the city to make your king happy, is that it?" The woman made sure

"True, my name is Beryton, I am the admiral in this fleet, if you want to become the ruler of the city of Lenfica and surrender to the king, then the merchants of Svardia will be mermaids coming here carrying all sorts of goods,and they will sell it cheaply specifically for the conquered territory of king Fermund of Svardia" Admiral Beryton explained

"That's very interesting, I seem to want to hear more, is that the only benefit given?" Ask Rynas fishing

"There are certainly others, namely the allocation funds that this king gave to govern the city, and maybe you can apply any conditions to be able to make you surrender this loyalty and territory to the kingdom of Svardia"

The admiral again persuaded him with what seemed to make Rynas attractive.

"It seems interesting, I will become the new ruler of the city, and give my allegiance and this territory to your king on one condition"

"There's no need to tell me, since I already know, I'll send another letter to my king"
