In the beginning, the MC actually does some kind of work and farms but as the story progresses all he does is sit and give orders, although wars take place, he doesn't actually take part in them, only his subordinates do, the ending is hasty, after merlins death, the author just writes stuff like how old they lived up to and ends the novel with the empire's future, decent read but if you're looking for a proper ending this is not it.
