The Kingdom of Niosebuku.
Located at the western edge of the world, it was a powerful nation boasting one of the largest land areas and national powers in the world.
Its operation is based on a strict meritocracy, and treatment is determined by achievements and ability, regardless of birth status, race, or body color.
If one has the ability, even an orphan can rise to success, but if one lacks the ability, even a prince will be abandoned.
The legions that survived such rigorous selection process were the elite, and once they attacked a neighboring country, they would crush the enemy forces, burn down villages and towns, and march straight to the royal castle to behead the king and prince.
The young queen and princess are then taken back to their home countries as spoils of war.
In fact, any healthy woman, regardless of status, who is deemed capable of giving birth to a healthy child.
Kill everyone else.
The number of vassal states thus incorporated reached ten.
They were only a vassal state in name, and once they were dominated, all of the history and culture that had been cultivated up until that point was destroyed, leaving not a trace behind.
Only strength is justice.
The Niosebuku Kingdom's approach was to thoroughly enforce this on their enemies as well.
The current head of this evil kingdom, King Imasi Nunda I, was celebrating his 47th birthday today.
A nationwide celebration was held in the capital of the Kingdom of Niosebuku...the royal city of Ganimva, where the country's most important people, the princes and princesses who had been granted the right of succession, and the royal warriors who had achieved great feats and earned the respect and awe of everyone, were present.
The wives they married were female slaves whose only role was to give birth to children.
And tens of thousands of residents of the royal capital had flocked to the royal castle square.
A man with a cold aura appeared on a balcony set up at a particularly high position.
He was none other than the leader of the Tiger and Wolf nation, King Niosebuku Imashinunda I.
Though he had just turned 47 and was fast approaching fifty, his body was still strong and covered in wire-like muscles.
Though slender, his well-trained body was like a sharp sword, and his eyes were just as sharp.
When a king appeared in public, the people would pause for a moment to catch their breath and then erupt in cheers to honour their ruler.
"Our strongest king!"
"There is no king in the world more valiant than His Majesty Imasi Nunda!"
"A man worthy of ruling the world!"
The shouts of praise were rather spoken out of fear that they would be killed if they did not speak.
The king was more pleased by the fear of the people that lay behind the words than by the praise itself...
"The weak must die, for there is no use in living"
The speech began.
"That is our country's providence. We have attacked and destroyed many nations, and cut off the heads of the losers. I believe that our country's prosperity is proof that this providence is correct."
King Niosebuku continues.
"Strength is justice. The strong can have it all. That is the most absolute and simple law in this world. Turning a blind eye to that, mixing in useless elements and making the world a mess, is nothing more than an escape from reality for the weak."
"That's right!" and "Love and heart are just the ramblings of the weak!" voices rose from the attendees.
It was a sign that the entire nation was in submission to that mad king.
"And that is why I will continue to fight. Until the law of strength covers this world completely. Today marks the 47th day of my birth. But I have not weakened in mind or body. I promise to continue to spread the flames of war with all my might, and to give my people a chance for prosperity and prosperity."
Ooooohhhh! A cheer rose up in response.
"My next target has already been decided. The great eastern power, the Kingdom of Leniosegura! A weak nation that does not fight in war, but instead indulges in idleness in peace! I will burn their country to the ground with the flames of war and take their noble and beautiful queen as my 17th wife! The weak are ruled by the strong! That is the absolute law!"
The entire hall erupted in excitement at the King's new declaration of war.
It's war.
Further prosperity can be expected by destroying, trampling, and plundering.
Such vulgar expectations were boiling in the eyes of everyone, subjects and no one alike.
"Prepare for battle! Get your hearts pumping and awaken the beast within you! Our Kingdom of Niosebuku is the 'Land of Tigers and Wolves'! It seems to be a land inhabited by tigers and wolves! What an honorable title! Tigers and wolves are both powerful beasts! Kill and devour all of the dim-witted livestock!"
King Niosebuku is at the peak of his pride on his birthday.
"I am the mighty lord of tigers and wolves, King Niosebuku Imashinunda I! My legend is still in the making! One day I will rule over the entire world, and impregnate all the women in it with my seed! My name will become the title of a legend that will continue for thousands and thousands of years! Guhahahahahaha!!"
He is at the peak of his pride with his thumping...
Boom!
A large hole opened up.
"teeth?"
Not only the king himself, but all the royal family, subjects, and people attending the king's birthday ceremony were shocked and speechless.
The cheers from before had vanished as if they were a lie.
Everyone forgot to scream and focused on the hole in the king's stomach.
"Huh? What is this...?!"
The hole was even larger than a fist, about the diameter of a handball.
Anyone could see that if such a hole appeared in the stomach, it would definitely be fatal.
The king of the "Land of Tigers and Wolves" dies on his auspicious birthday.
"...Why did I have to die?"
Immediately after saying those words, far too stupid to be a will, the head then crumbled into pieces, scattering pieces of flesh like crushed tomatoes in all directions.
◆
"Yes, mission accomplished."
The nemesis died as soon as he appeared.
It's me.
I'm Sao, the protagonist of this story.
No, in this world where everyone lives with their own wishes, everyone is the protagonist.
Except for the scum who steal the hopes and futures of such people and act like it's only natural.
"Really... You really would assassinate King Niosebuku...?!"
"I told you so. I can do it if you help me."
There is also Seeker, the princess of Niosebuku, who was sent to our country as a spy.
The reason they forced her to return home was because they needed her ``calling'' to assassinate King Niosebuku.
Her "calling" is to be a peeping Tom.
"Eh? Is that really a job?" is one's doubt about "Calling," but the more one hears about his abilities, the more terrifying they become.
The first of the skills he possesses is "Distant View", which is a [Peeping Tom] skill that allows him to see the engraved inscriptions accurately from a great distance, as if using a telescope.
He also possesses many other highly effective skills such as "Clairvoyance" and "Concealment", which are perfect for covert operations.
It would make sense to assign such a talented person as a spy, but it is questionable whether they really treated her so poorly when she was so skilled at espionage.
If it were me, I'd use them as much as Ether○Hunt. Is that country stupid?
"In this country, the only vocations that are good are those who excel in direct combat. Espionage is looked down upon as something only a coward would do. So even though I was suited to it, I was immediately stripped of my right to inherit the throne and forced to become a spy."
"That's the only value you have," and "I'll only let you live as long as you're deemed valuable, so work hard."
"That's all the words my father... no, the king ever said to me. He has no feelings for his family. He's a bastard who only decides things based on whether they are useful to him or not!"
"Y-yes...!?"
"And yet, I was an accomplice in his assassination! Look at that! The skills he discarded as useless helped him kill me! There's no story more satisfying than this! You idiot, you thought I'd be sad! You think I'd cry over my father's death!? What reason would I have to cry over such trash!"
Rather than shedding tears, Princess Seeker cheers at the death of her father.
I was quite confused by the inhumane act of asking him to help assassinate his own father, but it turned out to be an unnecessary worry.
Well, I've gone off on a tangent, but the story goes that I assassinated King Niosebuku.
Let me explain how I assassinated him.
First, relying on Princess Seeker's "Distant View" skill, they climbed the bell tower of the church located about five kilometers away from Niosebuku Royal Castle, where the ceremony was taking place.
From his high position he could see the surroundings without any obstructions, and he could even see the balcony of the royal castle where King Tiger and Wolf was standing without any problems.
It's really far though.
The solution to this problem was Princess Seeker's "Distant View" skill, which allowed her to see things as if they were within reach even when they were far away.
Being far away also ensured our own safety, so it was a win-win situation.
But still, it's Princess Seeker who has the skill, and it has nothing to do with me, you'd think, right?
So I put my new skills to good use.
The skill is called "Shared Property", and it allows me to temporarily treat the skills possessed by the other person as my own.
What are the conditions?
To have sex.
While my male organ is inserted into a specific female organ, I will be able to use one of that woman's skills of my choice.
Well, there are only a limited number of positions you can use while having sex.
Princess Seeker's skills met the requirements.
So now, I exposed her ass and inserted myself into her from behind, then used the "Distant View" skill to snipe King Niosebuku.
My "Extend" skill had become much more powerful as I leveled up, so I could instantly extend the stick I was holding up to five kilometers away and then instantly return it to its original position. It took less than a hundredth of a second to complete the sequence of actions.
Tens of thousands of people packed into the ceremony, but surely no one noticed when he stretched his hair, let alone when he straightened it out.
All he noticed was that the rod, which had been extended with a force faster than the speed of sound, had pierced that damn king's thighs, creating a large hole in them.
The second shot blew his head off.
The movement was exactly like a sniper.
I feel like I'm in Golf 13.
"That's amazing. You've combined so many different skills to come up with such a method of assassination. No one would notice that you killed the king from so far away."
As if to prove that...
Soldiers stormed into the venue of the king's birthday celebrations and sealed it off to prevent the packed spectators from leaving.
They probably decided that the assassin had blended into the crowd.
Although that is common sense.
But the culprit isn't there!
"Oh my, the people are starting to rebel! Wow, they hit a soldier!?"
"Because it's a 'country of tigers and wolves,' even the people are hot-headed. A brawl is inevitable. I wonder how many hundreds of people will be killed just from that..."
"Land of Tigers and Wolves" is scary.
But will this prevent war?
Naturally, the reason I assassinated the king of another country was because I wanted to prevent war from breaking out in the country I live in.
A cruel neighboring country is targeting our homeland.
I would rather kill the king of another country than have the people and land I love hurt and pollute my life.
To protect the object of your love.
If the king in question is a cruel and evil villain, I would have even less hesitation.
"But even if the king dies, the country remains, right?"
With the death of their king, the ferocious nation has not abandoned its warlike policy, and instead, led by a new leader, has invaded the country where we live...
"There's no need to worry about that. From now on, this country will enter a long period of civil war. That's for sure."
"Huh?"
"You can use my "Distant View" skill while you're violating me. Look at the group of people lined up to the right of the king's corpse."
"The right side?"
As Seeker-chan said, I stared at the right hand side of the royal castle balcony.
There were about ten young men and women lined up there.
Everyone was confused and shocked by the sudden tragedy, but there was also a hint of elated joy on their faces.
"The path to glory has opened up for me!" Something like that?
"That's true, the only ones who can sit in those family seats are the children of the king... and they are powerful people who have not yet been stripped of their right to the throne."
"The children of the king we just killed? ...Okay, I'd better shoot them too..."
"It's fine. They'll be more useful if we keep them alive."
said Seeker-chan.
What does that mean?
"Since the current king has died, that means the next king will be chosen from among those there. Furthermore, this country is ultimately a meritocracy. Regardless of order or pretense, the truly strong prince or princess will succeed their father. .... What do you think will happen?"
Who is stronger and better?
There is only one way to decide that...
"And so the civil war..."
"From now on, the Kingdom of Niosebuku will enter into a bloody civil war over the new throne. It won't be just about invading other countries. This country will be devastated by the pointless fighting between stupid older brothers and sisters who think they are the strongest. That's not what you want, either."
That's right.
The longer the civil war continues, the longer the damage that will be caused to the country I live in will be postponed. I can't help but think that they should keep fighting among themselves as much as they like.
"In fact, from your point of view, wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to pull strings behind the scenes to prolong the civil war as much as possible? Supporting the unfavorable side of the war? Spreading ominous rumors to incite conflict…"
While the wolves are cannibalizing each other, peace is maintained among men.
That's fine, but...
"Why are you being so kind to me?"
"picture?"
I'm talking about you, Seeker-chan.
"No matter how coldly you've been treated, is it really okay for you to be so proactive in helping us? After all, you were working for the country of Niosebuku until you were captured!"
You were desperately trying to pull off some underhanded moves to take over my country.
What she is doing now is clearly a betrayal of her country, but she shows no sign of feeling sorry...
"It's fine, I knew from the beginning that it wasn't worth the effort to be loyal to them... so..."
"Then?"
"You're so slow...! Check what's been inserted into me right now!"
With my penis still inside her vagina, Princess Seeker's ass trembled lasciviously.
