We can all see how this is gonna go. The opposing kingdom is stupid and desperate. They decided to kill all rebelling farmers to set an example. The farmers are pass the point of no return, they will try to cross the border regardless of how many die. The Treia army will have no choice but to cross the border to attack the farmers. It's there that Aegir will get the excuse he needs to kill the invading army, and "save" the farmers while at it.

Happens all the time with people in charge of things they didnt build themselves.

Company A makes great products and builds up customer trust and is massively successful. Corporation X buys out Company A and maximizes profits, destroy customer trust, and fires oldest and experienced employees to save costs.

Company A gets liquidated and corporation X sees Company B is a massive success...

Y'all read that isekai where the MC is the "son" of the Gryphon?
A similar border dispute happened there, and as the villagers where trying to cross into the MC's territory they were getting massacred. So one of the villagers purposely tries to get close to the MC and the retarded soldiers continue firing arrows. And one is about to hit the MC, so he catches it and orders his troops to attack the opposing Lord's because they technically tried to kill him.

Thanks for the TL

i know nobles can be stupid but man are they stupid "i'm gonna kill my entire population because i killed to many already to make the harvest"
A lot of people tend to not think about the future when making a decision. For example, that's how they waste all their money on useless luxury such as cars they can't afford. A wise man once said that stupidity is infinite.

Came in here just to see if anyone else had made this comment. I'll be really surprised if the next few chapters don't develop in a pretty similar way.

It's not always is just that. Moreover it actually happen quite often in the history and reason why poaching villagers from other nobles territories was a serious crime.

And about the reasons sometimes you can't think in a long-term perspective. After war debts, increased amount citizens in cities and towns resulting in hunger, lack of information about the peasant situation or even a hostile act of other nobles could make you have high taxes that you just couldn't lower if you want to survive.

People are stupid but usually not that stupid to be stupid just for the stupidity sake.
