Yuria was freed, once and for all, from the fear of having to marry the wife killer Dibel. And Dibel himself will be freed from the burden of having to carry his head on his shoulders.

I doubt Almus really had any better solutions at hand right now. Dibel has shown his nature too many times, plus he has also burned the bridges behind him, so it's not like Dibel could anymore, believably, swear to serve under Almus. Nobody knows when neighbouring kingdoms will cause trouble again, so it's better to get their own country unified and strong as soon as possible. The path to that goal is to remove crass dissidents. Almus being a fresh, young, new king, he will need to show his strength thrice more than an old king, to make sure nobody gets any foolish ideas.

"I'm sure I'll regret my decision for the rest of my life" My guy these are people who have done unspeakable evil and deserve to be unlifed. Noone should feel bad about that at all. Traitors historically get necked cause once a traitor always a traitor.

Overall it's a good chapter though, proper punishments given out to crimes, good flow of events and none of that stupid friendship is power bullcrap lets save everyone even the vile evil people.

Freaking FINALLY! How many years has it been since we first joined this series In a forest, from building a village to, finally, a KINGDOM!

I don't think he's talking about the main baddies, but the conscripted soldiers and the civies caught in the crossfire which haven't done nothin wrong.

Still the scene was a bit silly: Theres a reason why nobles even when corrupt are hard to get rid of. Not only they tend to have considerable influence, but is pressed enough can cause a civil war specially with a newcomer King that even neutral nobles might be unsure to follow or not yet

Would have been more reasonable to get rid either one by one or even in secret, being that aggresive will make those nobles fight like cornered rats because they have nothing to lose and even other nobles might become afraid of becoming "traitors" as well once the new King deems them no longer useful/necessary andstart plotting the "accidental demise" of the new King lest he decides to do more purges later

Right now the MC looks like a complete autocrat, no matter how good his intentions are

Ah ok, wish it was more explicit then in the dialogue in that case.

I'll be slightly fair to the writing here, these Nobles have been so evil even the peseants know their evil so he'd have backing on this publicly but yeah it would eventually be seen as autocratic/despotic/tyrannical.
