Chapter 1097: Crisis (1)



"Slam!"

"What is going on in our kingdom?" The king of the Antwerp Kingdom roared at the ministers that were all around him, but it didn't seem like any of them were willing to say a thing.

All of them looked down as if they were afraid of being chosen.

That was because not a single one of them knew what was happening either.

All that happened was that this morning, they received reports from all over the country of what happened with the monsters. All of them had been completely caught off guard by the fact that this happened.

After all, even if they hadn't been able to suppress the monsters, they had at least been able to keep them back.

With the rate that it was going, it should have bought them enough time for the Holy Empire to send troops to help.

So they just couldn't understand why the monsters suddenly became this active.

They couldn't understand where the monsters drew their power from to break through their defensive lines.

Seeing that not a single person was saying anything, the king slammed his fist down on the throne's armrest once more before roaring, "What do you plan to do about this?"

Then pointing at one of the ministers, he said, "General Harry, you are the commander in chief of our Antwerp Kingdom's military, so I want an answer from you!"

The general that had been called out couldn't help revealing a bitter smile while the rest of the ministers all let out internal sighs of relief. They didn't dare give an external sigh of relief just in case they attracted the attention of the king.

Since he had been called out like this, General Harry had no choice but to speak.

Only the first thing that he said drew the curses of all the other ministers.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Before I give an answer, I have a question for everyone. Has anyone ever encountered the monsters that were mentioned in the reports before?"

All of them were angry at this since it pulled them back into this discussion.

It was only the king that wasn't angry since General Harry was indeed touching on the main issue with the reports.

If they had an idea of how to take down the hobgoblins, they would have already suggested it.

The only thing that anyone could think of was the last line of defense for their Antwerp Kingdom, the three knight orders that were located around the country.

There were three different headquarters that were in three different locations, all of which reported to the king.

All of them had knights that were comparable and even stronger than the knights that had fought against the hobgoblins.

In a worst case scenario, they would have to call these knights to fight the hobgoblins and the monsters.

It was just that no one could suggest that they move these three knight orders since it would mean betting everything that they had.

That was just too dangerous.

It was just that they really didn't have a choice.

Before anyone could say anything, there was someone that suddenly burst into the throne

room.

This was a normal looking soldier based on their armour.

This was clearly not someone who was qualified to burst into the throne room like this, but

here they were.

No one said anything as they waited to see what this soldier had to say.

After all, they knew that no one would be foolish enough to burst into the throne room for no

reason.

"Wyverns have crossed the border and are attacking the three knight orders."

A crisis, it was a true crisis.
