Just a question, how bad is the kingdom exactly and like how bad do you really want the kingdom to be destroyed?
Like 1.)A hole in the castle 2) Broken castle 3) Nuked castle (Total ashes for being asses)
well, it's a writing prompts. so it's actually up to you whether you wanted it to be the whole country population to be decimated or abolishment of monarchy system.

i was expecting anyone would post how to do it with actual 4 people though, not doing it by themselves.

================================i'll try my writing prompts here=====================================​

first of all, i'll pick the Jack-of=All trades class, which means i can do most simple stuff the other 3 can do. then proceed to gather the other heroes to brief the plan. which is to gathering both trust and distrust.

the wizard would go to the agricultural and industrial district and by using modern knowledge of infrastructure, he could terraform the land in span of hours and built a huge modern contraption using magic, and that would boost productivity by sky margin. while the healer would go to the strategic place in the heart of the city and start to open a free clinic to heal disease and any kind of wounds for free, even giving area buff to boost the worker productivity around the vicinity. by doing those the populace would definitely pleased and even start to getting dependent to those two.

the assassin meanwhile, would assassinate the smartest minister around, starting with the cautious one. because a proper minister would know if populace starting to getting dependent on something that cannot be renewed or replenished, they'll bound to doom once it's not accessible anymore. therefore it's dangerous.

but the assassination are done in a very sophisticated manner that seemingly impossible to be done by any normal human being. would surely make a huge fuss if an important kingdom official suddenly died in an impossible manner.

me the plan maker of the group would pretend to examine the crime scene and point out every intricated things that makes the murder are actually impossible, except for one person : the summoned assassin.
people around would definitely flabbergasted by such ridiculous statement, only to make me say the following later : "he's the only one who could pull this off, yes. but last night he playing chess with me in my room". implying that there's another person out there, that actually having the same capability as one of the summoned hero are currently roaming free and undetected.

but no matter what worlds is, they never sort of people who's into conspiracy. people would start to think there's someone dangerous within the castle palace, or even the summoned assassin are the dangerous one.

those would lit spark between the royalty and they would start suspecting the hero and trying to do thorough investigation in fear.
and of course we will do a second assassination while the assassin are under huge surveillance, but this time. i as the jack of all trades would do it with similar manners as the first deeds. that would cause a bigger confusion and ruckus. because everyone think that there's no way the assassin could do it.

now the healer, would pretend to be accidentally spill the chaos happening to one of the patient, makes the whole country are filled with gossips about mysterious group trying to toppling the kingdom from inside. while adding some fact, that because the heroes are belong to the royalty, their movements are actually very limited and could only spare a very little time for the populace. thus it lit the distrust towards royalty and respect to the heroes.

with this, all the piece are on board.
  • the productional district are dependent to the magical wizard because he's the only one who could operate the modern contraption.
  • all the doctor and healer already leave the city because they can't compete with the healer hero
  • confusion and chaos are ensue within the royal castle
  • some faction are blatantly showing distrust to the heroes but are perceived as jealousy
  • some rotten nobles trying to gain position from the tragedy
  • the populace realize that the the royalty are actually very useless while the heroes could bring them prosperity with just 4 of them.

when all of these happening, all that left is for the 4 summoned hero to just disappear from the kingdom without saying any words, and we could maybe kidnap the princess while we're at it.

the royalty would enraged and trying to pin the blame on the summoned heroes and mark them as criminal, but none of the citizen buying it because of their distrust towards royalty and their dependency towards heroes.

An empire toppled by its enemies can rise again. But one which crumbles from within? That's dead... forever.

all that left, are to wait for the kingdom to destroy themselves among each other.

@Kilolo , with all those four classes. It's enough to destroy a kingdom. So if those Summoned are neuropathic due to either nature or nurture effects, it's very possible to exterminate the entire continent and the people's spirits literally.

Jack of All Trade
- Rebellion Leader
- Ally with demon kings and oppressed groups
- Poster Boy via Teaching or etc.
- Potential to lead an army

Assassin
- Raise an assassin guild or black guild targeted toward criminal activity or liberation activity whichever one it is.
- Team up with suicidal party and violent thugs for slaughter effects
- Kidnappings and ransoms + murders of aristocrats
- Potential to lead an army
- Direct assassinations

Mage & Healer
- Fake cleric, use religion to gain army of followers or etc. via deceptions
- Use magic to control people
- Can manipulate people via teaching or to kill other
- Embezzlements under nonprofit facade
- Unsuspecting base used as experimenting labs / torture labs
- Unsuspecting base used as potential Auction for slaves or brothel for female captives
- Can unleash plague, summon demons, and etc. to towns

Bonus Effects.
- Each hero may gain a female harem due to Isekai Attraction Formula
- Each female members may become extreme Templar Knight potentials
- Power is made OP, crimes may be easily covered up

A common isekai trope, the kingdom performing a hero summoning and you're one of the four heroes being summoned.
each summoned hero has different class privilege, and you're one of the following class.
  1. hero with Jack-of-all trades ability
  2. magic specialty
  3. healing and status buff specialty
  4. infiltration and assassination specialty
all four of you agree that you don't like the kingdom and planning to destroy it, so how would you go about it?

pick the class and make up the circumstances the way you like it.
3. Create my own cult faction using overpowered healing and stat buffs along with manipulation and psychology to develop a huge loyal following. Start a holy war. Deus Vult!
