The magic academy competition finally ended after four days.

Sean was also very satisfied with the event, as it finally stopped the opposition voices from the main hall.

Ever since the Sun King announced that he would be the legitimate crown prince, Sean has almost become the real master of the Jagun Palace. The Sun King would even occasionally not attend and only leave Sean present, and his two younger brothers and sisters no longer showed up.

Now they have finally become the idle princes they wanted to be the most, and they can travel freely everywhere. His sister even ran away to her knight earl's territory and stayed there for many days without coming back.

She said she was going to escape the summer heat, but I never saw her going there when the desert was so hot before. Now that the whole desert is gone, how can it still be so hot?

Everyone knows what to do!

But she is a princess after all. After the Sun King officially abdicates in the future, she will be the emperor's sister and will need to consider the reputation of the royal family.

For this reason, Sean decided to give his sister a marriage...

However, the other party said that Jia Gong was currently in a period of recovery and it was not appropriate to hold a grand wedding, so it could be postponed for the time being.

It seemed that after the quarrels stopped, the family members in his family could talk to each other properly and even care about the affairs of the country.

And precisely because of her presence at the border, the Knight Earl will develop the border more vigorously... This will ensure the safety of the eastern part of his country, and he can focus more on grabbing territory in the west.

Without the Sun King present, almost all decisions for the country were handled by himself. Occasionally, Frelia would come to the hall with him. The ministers in the hall almost opposed the strength of the future queen.

After all, the troops led by Frelia had actually defeated the invaders, and no one would stand up and say that the other party was wrong!

It can also be seen that Sean currently has almost no opponents in the Jagun Hall, and only needs different opinions on foreign policy.

"I believe we shouldn't worry about the people from other desert nations and should directly seize the areas with the richest resources. Your Highness... this is in our best interests. Otherwise, our hesitation will only cause real trouble. The desert nations have always fought each other. Since the miracle appeared and the desert disappeared, each nation has gained a certain amount of resource reserves."

In fact, after the desert disappeared, Sean did receive a lot of news saying that the countries in the eastern part of the desert had difficulty maintaining combat due to lack of resources, so they had to guard their own piece of land.

Now that the desert has disappeared and turned into an oasis, the source of water and many underground minerals can be discovered!

what does that mean……

They can mine ore to forge weapons and arm their troops.

A country maintains an army not just to consume food every day, but has other purposes.

From this point of view, the original desert countries are indeed more dangerous, so Jagun not only has to make various preparations, but also has to abandon his previous ideas in diplomacy and make friends with those countries again.

"Since they all have ideas, why don't we take the lead and occupy more land? Expanding territory is a long-cherished wish of a country."

“That’s right…”

"Well said!"

Those who advocate plundering resources at all costs stand up and say it's good. There are quite a few such people.

Several of the ministers in front of the emperor were like this...

Now Sean finally understands why some countries will definitely start a war when they become strong. Even if they talked about peace in the past, it would be useless because the country has begun to expand from top to bottom.

"No, we can't do this now." Someone else stood up and said.

"Right now, we, Jagun, are strong, so they fear us... But if anything unexpected happens, they might all unite. If we occupy such a large area in the west, it will only exacerbate the resentment of the eastern nations towards us."

"Is Lord Kog'gas afraid?"

Before I could even say anything, I was already being retorted by someone else.

"Why should I be afraid? I am thinking about Jagun's future..."

"Since we are thinking about the future of the country, we should hope that the country will become strong. As long as we are strong enough, no one will dare to stand up against us." said a dissatisfied voice.

"That's for now, but what about later? This hatred will be passed down through word of mouth and buried among the descendants of the Eastern Kingdoms. Then they will always remember that we stole the land that was rightfully theirs."

"What do you mean by 'ought to have'? If you don't have the ability, can you still rob it?"

Overall, Jagong is still a powerful country, so naturally there are more people who oppose it.

"You are making a joke of the country's future by saying this."

"I think you're the one joking, Lord Cho'Gath. I heard your son married the daughter of an eastern merchant. Are you planning to surrender?"

"You... are slandering me."

The more he talks, the more outrageous it gets.

But the fundamental demand is that we must never admit defeat and Jagun must act quickly.

At this time, Sean finally raised his hand.

"alright!"

Just one sentence can make the hall quiet.

Sean now has enough prestige to even surpass the Sun King himself...

"We do need to take action on this matter, and I've already had the Magic Academy arrange for students to practice there... We need more than just occupation; we need exploration. Regardless of who originally owned the Great Desert, this area is beyond the reach of the Western nations. I've also had Oro City establish a stronghold in that area to the west. If conflicts escalate between us and other countries, we could very well be facing another war."
