Despite Caesar III seeming determined to this plan, he has been trying to push it in every possible way. Even I, as the frontline commander, have repeatedly pointed out risks, but I couldn't change the king's resolution.
The reason is obvious to me, it all boils down to the succession of the royal family. Caesar III only has one son, and unfortunately, he doesn't have much confidence in his son's ability.
If the Orc Empire is left intact, they will certainly return in force decades later. The shrewd Caesar III does not think his son can withstand them.
At least the performance of Crown Prince Caesar now is hardly reassuring. If not for the kingdom's strict succession laws, he would have wanted to start over with an alternate heir.
If the heir cannot be changed, then he can only pave the way for his son in advance, and eliminate the potential threats of the future.
