Chapter 914: Invading army
The next morning came and there was nothing special that happened.
It was the same thing where the ministers tried to convince Klein to move out again, but they were once again rejected.
Even though it was very clear that they were frustrated, there was just nothing that they could do since we had come to help them. We were the ones that were offering our generosity, so there was nothing that they could say.
But it was very clear that they were getting fed up at this rate.
It was only a matter of time before they did something drastic.
It was just too bad that they wouldn't get that chance since everything was supposed to end today.
Whether the second prince did anything or not, today was the day that everything would come to an end.
We would take the wyverns if things failed.
As such, we spent the day taking care of the wyverns to make it seem like they were still resting.
When the ministers saw this, they had no choice but to leave us to the wyverns since they couldn't stop us from taking care of them. They could only hope that this was the last time that we needed to.
As we were alone on the wyvern training field, Klein came over to talk to me.
It seemed like a normal talk, but it was anything but normal.
"Do you really think that he'll act today? Or do you think that this is all one big trap?" Klein asked me.
I just shook my head before saying, "I have no idea, but we're ready regardless of what happens."
Klein was about to nod in agreement, but he was interrupted by some people running over. We were completely caught off guard since we didn't expect them to appear in front of us like this, but it was the ministers who came running back.
We were almost certain that they were here again to try and convince us to head out, but this wasn't the case.
Instead...
Three hundred thousand... That was more than anything that they sent at us during the war.
With how many soldiers had been lost during the war, I really couldn't believe that the second prince was able to raise an army of this size.
Or rather, it was hard to believe that the Midra Kingdom had this many troops in the first
place.
Not to mention that this wasn't including the troops that were under the command of the
king.
There was surely a royal army that would be facing this rebel army formed by the second prince.
It was hard to imagine just how people would die if there was a fight...
As we came closer to the second prince's army, there were wyverns that appeared in the air. These were wyverns that were separate from the wyverns that we brought with us.
These were the ten wyverns that had been with the Midra Kingdom the entire time.
Like the ministers said, these wyverns had gone with the second prince and joined the rebel
army.
When they approached, they didn't attack us.
It wasn't just because it was a bad idea for them to attack us since we far outnumbered them.
It was also because they didn't have any hostility towards us and we didn't have any hostility towards them.
The leader of this group of ten wyverns waved at Klein and said, "The second prince invites you to his camp to discuss matters."
Klein looked at me and I gave a nod in response.
At this point, there was no point in hiding my identity, so I took charge of the group.
I wanted to see just what the second prince was planning.
