Chapter 1008: Dots in the sky (10)



"So it's finally happening?"

"Yes, they were spotted at the border and are currently coming closer and closer to the -capital."

There was a heavy mood that hung in this throne room as everyone had grim looks on their faces.

But in the end, the one that was sitting on the throne said, "There's nothing that we can do, right? None of the countries that we asked for help are responding?"

After a long silence, the ministers and generals all nodded in agreement.

The king of the Vikal Kingdom looked up and gave a sigh after seeing this.

Their Vikal Kingdom had lasted for several centuries now and had been waging war on and off against the Kite Kingdom all this time. They had never been able to gain the advantage over the Kite Kingdom, but they had never been at a disadvantage either.

They had been able to maintain the equilibrium between their kingdoms for all these years.

But now...

The king never thought that it would be in his hands that the Vikal Kingdom would fall like this.

However, he knew that they had no other choice.

Since the united war against the Kite Kingdom, their Vikal Kingdom forces had been greatly weakened. It was all that they could do to even defend their borders against the other kingdoms.

Then when the monster waves came, it was only because all the other kingdoms had also been hit with the monster waves that they had been able to defend themselves.

Everyone was weakened to the same extent that they were only worried about defending themselves.

But it didn't seem to be the case with the Kite Kingdom.

The spies that they had sent had told them that the Kite Kingdom had found a way to deal with the monster waves and they had also subdued the Midra Kingdom. They had doubled their territory by taking the Midra Kingdom under them.

Once the king reached the gates, he had the royal guards keep the citizens back so that nothing could approach the gate.

They just looked into the sky in the distance, looking at the dots that were there in the sky that were approaching the capital. These were the wyverns that had been sent by the Kite Kingdom to attack them.

Even though they could see the wyverns approaching, they didn't put up any resistance at all. Once they were close enough to see, there was a commotion that came from the citizens. They had no idea that the wyverns were approaching the capital and now that they saw them, they all started to panic as if they were afraid of getting caught up in the fight.

It was when they saw them that they realized what was happening.

The king and all these important officials were here to deal with these approaching wyverns.

So starting with one person, it was a tide of people that quickly started moving away from the

gate.

They were all afraid that they would be caught up in the fight when it started.

As they watched the wyverns approach, one of the ministers couldn't help saying, "Your majesty, there must be a better way. We can't just watch you sacrifice yourself like this."

The king had a bitter smile on his face as he turned to look at his ministers before saying, "This is the only way."

The definite tone to his voice made the ministers all fall silent as they couldn't say anything to refute this.

If they had a better suggestion, they would have already made it.

So they could only stand there in silence as the wyverns approached.

Once they approached, the wyverns didn't start attacking right away.

One of the wyverns flew down to the gate where the king and his men were standing, as if they

were seeing what they were doing.

Once they came down, the king said, "We wish to surrender."
