I suppose that's a retcon to "they just sent some random guy because the Demon Queen is a joke" gag at the beginning. No, they didn't. Soil apparently took this entirely seriously and sent their greatest butcher. I guess they always intended for Mirio to bring down the Kingdom after the Demon Queen so they could throw off the yoke of their oppressors. Impossible to know unless it's explained, especially since I don't think the author planned this out.

Nah they didn't think about overthrow a nation. Its just Mirio alone still never realize his true worth. He still downplay himself a lot.
The chapter literally just said Soil is sharpening its fangs until it has the strength to rebel. Mirio isn't downplaying his worth, Soil's whole MO is being unassuming to avoid their rebellion plans being sniffed out.
Iver herself just pointed out to Valetta that all those reader assumptions the author planted were wrong. Mirio knows he's strong, it's his current surroundings assuming he's just a lowly weak Soil serf. Which is exactly what he wants people to keep thinking.
Mirio's playing 4D chess knowing being a Hero's the fastest and most peaceful way to massively improve Soil's treatment from the surrounding countries, but making sure he doesn't give it away that Soil is going to murder everyone next if he doesn't succeed.
The narrative never describes him as some random guy Soil chose and sent because they didn't take the Demon lord seriously. At the beginning, it showed all the Soil people celebrating him "pulling the sword from stone," but he kept insisting he just kinda found it, which may give the impression that they're gassing him up for no reason, but we learned a while ago that the sword is sentient and chooses it's wielders, so that pretty clearly squashes that idea. Also everyone was described as terrified of the demon lord until they actually saw her and realized she's chill now, so I don't know how you got the idea they thought of her as a joke

I'm not really sure why people are claiming bullshit or retcons on all of these developments when there haven't really been any big inconsistencies thus far. It's just that a lot of silly gags in early chapters were actually misdirects and foreshadowing for revealing Mirio and Iver's true strength/potential.
The author even specifically calls out the things that were never explicitly said and only misleadingly implied, so that readers can go back to check for themselves, like assuming that Mirio was weak just because he was inexperienced as a Hero. In particular, the reveal that at least part of the actual reason Mirio wasn't mentally corrupted by the Holy Sword (previously speculated to be because of the Power of Love) was because he was too fast and strong and made it to Iver's castle absurdly fast, is pretty well done.
I guess they just don't want to admit that the stupid ecchi manga was building up to an actual story this whole time?
