Chapter 778 How the mighty have fallen

When we arrived back in Vayne City, it had completely changed.

The guards that were at the gate had been changed to a group that I was familiar with.

It was a group that I didn't expect to see so soon, but here they were.

It was General Killock and his men.

I knew that the fourth prince had moved his people to take control of Vayne City during this time, but I never thought that he would move an entire army. But I quickly found out that it wasn't the army that had been moved in.

It was just a small group composed of General Killock and his men that had come to take Vayne City.

As for how they had done it with so few people...it was because they were wyvern riders.

As General Killock was one of the few that had followed me during the war and one of the trusted aides of the fourth prince, naturally he was high up on the list of people that would be chosen as wyvern riders.

He and his men were among the first batch that had been sent to me...or at least they would have been in the first batch if it wasn't for the fact that we were still at war during that time. The names of General Killock and his men were among those that would have been the first batch, if not for the fact that he was busy with the war.

But after the war, they had come right away to claim their wyverns.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

All of them were men of war and had excellent skills, so it didn't take long for them to become wyvern riders.

Of course, it wasn't just wyvern riders along that would be enough to take a city.

To prepare for this, the fourth prince had already snuck many people into Vayne City under the nose of the Yuletide Family. They had been waiting the whole time for this day where they would have the chance to act.

When they acted, Vayne City stood no chance.

He took one look at the wyverns and gave a sigh.

That was just the power that wyverns had, even a powerful gated city like this couldn't do anything in the face of these wyverns. Though he was a bit surprised that there wasn't more destruction in the city.

He had expected far more destruction that there actually was.

General Killock glared at Duke Yuletide a bit longer before turning to the fourth prince to ask, "Your highness, what should we do about him?"

The fourth prince didn't answer as he waved his hand at one of the spies that he had sent into Vayne City. When they came over, he asked them, "Has that been prepared?"

The spy replied with a nod, "It's all been set up and it's ready to use at any time."

The fourth prince said with a satisfied nod, "Very good. Go and gather the people, come tell me when everything has been gathered."

The spy nodded before heading off.

After that, the fourth prince went over to Duke Yuletide and simply asked, "Give us the information that you have on the Snake Syndicate and I'll go easy on you."

Duke Yuletide was surprised to be asked this.

It was clear that he didn't expect to be asked this, but he quickly revealed a smile as if he had gained some kind of handle on the fourth prince.

"Do you think that I'll really tell you? But if you want to know, then you'll have to offer..."

Before Duke Yuletide could finish what he was going to say, the fourth prince said, "Well, I tried to offer you the easy way out. You can't blame me for what happens next."

Without caring for Duke Yuletide's reaction, he calmly walked away.
