Wow...things haven't worked out the way you've wanted, huh your highness? Who would have thought?
Probably not just the way he wanted, as governments can be complex machines. Even monarchies, with an aristocracy, or moreso because of the aristocracy. I get the impression this was decided upon because of a majority vote from the nobles. If the recently departed Minister was any indicator, they thought they could keep the summoned on a leash, like servants or slaves. But the King had misgivings which proved to be justified, and he's now realizing their mistake. At least he's not just tightening the reigns on the status quo, and is trying to make use of diplomacy with the Demons instead of only brute force. Relying only on brute force is what creates Onizukas.

the series where a nation, or king, summons a group of "heroes" and treat them justly is rather rare. you can easily craft up some stories from individuals being unhappy about the summoning and draft up some character development from that, which is alot harder if the summonders are trying to reach out to the heroes in a fair manner initially.

the king being surprised for this outcome is funny, since it took him this long to realise and openly state so. moreso, even the knights behaviour caused our MC's initial conflict, be leaving a potentially cursed hero behind in that dungeon and as such generated doubt and criticism within all heroes. they sparked the flame and now wonder why things went wrong.

i truly only hope the series will end the revenge plot within the heroes somewhat soon, since i don't see much interesting plot generated here. i'd like to see that castle with the king and the nobles crushed and all heroes being split into the world so they, and we as the readers, can experience a more varied world design and character development and start a real arc with new faces instead of trying to cover everything with the existing cast.

The basic setting of random Japanese youths, one or more, getting summoned to another world and asked to fight demons for the sake of an unknown kingdom is ridiculous in the first place. It's actually more sensible when the summoning kingdom places some slavery/brainwashing restriction on the summoned person(s). Expecting essentially kidnapped people to risk their lives voluntarily for the sake of an unknown country in an unknown world is pretty unreasonable, in contrast. Rarely you do see the "if you defeat the demon king, you are able to return" promise, but that would be equal to blackmailing or relying on Stockholm syndrome win over the summoned (=kidnapped) people.

Naturally it all works a lot better if it's a person summoned upon their death in Japan, so they essentially get a second chance in life in the other world. That way the person might feel gratitude and realise that since they died in Japan, there's necessarily no point in going back, and, above all, they weren't really kidnapped but rather saved in an extraordinary manner.

Folks getting spirited away to another world without there being a clear summoner is a different thing. There's no summoner to be angry at and nobody foolishly expecting loyalty from kidnapped people. The transported people just need to figure things out on their own and survive the best they can.

Man if only the one Onizuka killed is the other idiot hero so that Nakatani will only need to deal with Onizuka later on

Need an isekai where the first thing the "heroes" do is slaughter their kidnappers and proceed to take over the kingdom that summoned them. Like Wortenia Senki except the whole class realizes immediately that's the play they should make the moment they are summoned and get to work right off the bat.

Going by his dialog the interesting thing is he is "not" surprised. I agree with what someone above mentioned that it seems this wasn't even his idea. Hell he seems to be considerable more level headed than the usual Isekai Asshole kings who are usually busy spewing crap everywhere. He looked at the situation, correctly judged they fucked up and now tries salvage what he can, even judging the murderous Asshole Hero the bigger problem than the more level headed MC who he tries to approach with words instead ... for now.
Granted this is still the empire that had a whole people genocided but it is nice having a antagonistic king for a change that isn't some Saturday morning cartoon villain.

did the "heroes" go back to the king? why would you do that they just tried to murder you all and told you all that the previous hero who conquered the demon kingdom for them was tricked and murdered by them. why would you ever go back to the king after that?

There's already a manga like that, but it rather boring as the requirement to overthrow a kingdom is to have the heroes extraordinary in the first place.
