this is really frustrating, to think it would amount to this. it's severely underwhelming. and from what I've skimmed from the comments, I do wish the mercenaries were given more credit than what they are worth, but considering they come from a united commission area, quantity wouldn't amount to quality, not to mention mercenaries CAN have the choice to choose their loyalties. from an initial commission and considering the previous treaty, they would have some ties/attachments to them. I wish a mercenary character would have been added to this colorful cast
I do feel bad for the dragonewts (as a scaly) but I think it's bound to go through because Harem genres eventually de-evolve into some compassionate BOSS mess. "I am a King but I need a considerate Queen", would it be pushing my opinion to say that this whole mess is just reaffirming their relationship through a crisis?

Castor and Carla got short end of the stick, a real running under the bus moment. All that talk about friendship with George, man didn't even share his plan of self sacrifice with his so called friend and robed the duke castor and other dragonnewts into it.

A little lost respect and appreciation was gain back during this chapter but still they really kept us in the dark(didn't enjoyed that) and went way too roundabout way to get to the point. This way of writing shall and will only work once after that this will become tedious and tiring as well as boring to watch. I mean, I like chess moves and counter moves in my isekai story but to like that there has to be a somewhat competent opponent on the other side not a mediocre mob like these corrupt nobles and some random country with a brain dead king.

I mean, I guess this resolution about George is better than what was hinted, but... as @cannarali says, a bit too roundabout.
We need to remember that "an author can never write characters smarter than him/herself". It's how it works. And we would ALL love to write a Khun (Tower of God), but it's just not easy to do.

This felt...idk... A wannabe attempt that fell not quite flat, but almost. The reasoning for "completely eradicating the corrupt nobles" feels reasonable, and yet...not quite. And he roped Castor into it. Carla too, by extension.
Which would be "okay" in a more serious story, the whole "actions have consequences" thing, but I don't think it quite fits here...

This is actually quite a very well done twist of events.
