Chapter 1098: Crisis (2)



"What do you mean by that?" Even though the king asked this question, he wasn't actually looking for an answer from the soldier.

That was because not only the king, everyone in the room already knew the answer to this question.

After all, there was only one place that wyverns could come from.

So for wyverns to suddenly show up in their territory and attack them like this, they knew exactly what the reason was.

The soldier didn't know how to respond to this question since he knew that it was a rhetorical question. At the same time, he knew that if he were to actually say anything, all it would do is make the king angry with him and he would suffer the wrath of the king.

So the soldier smartly kept silent and didn't say anything.

But even if he remained silent, it wasn't as if this matter would be swept under the rugs.

Seeing that no one said a single thing, the king's attention turned to the ministers that were standing there around the room. All of them had their heads slightly turned as if they were trying to avoid drawing any attention to themselves.

Only there was no way for them to completely avoid the king's gaze.

The king slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne and roared, "Well? What do we do about this?"

No one said a single thing again.

They all acted like they were mute so that they wouldn't attract his attention.

In the end, the king just gave a sigh before saying, "What are their demands?"

All of the ministers revealed strange looks when they heard this, but they didn't say anything in response. They knew that this was the best choice that they could make since in front of the might of these wyverns, there really wasn't anything that they could do.

The soldier didn't say anything since he didn't have any information on this.

Seeing this, there was anger that slowly appeared on the king's face.

Only he didn't get to say anything as someone else came in and said, "The Kite Kingdom just sent their demands to us."

to say.

After all, this was a matter of their entire kingdom surrendering to another kingdom.

This was not an easy thing to talk about.

"Your majesty..." In the end, the prime minister felt that he should say anything.

The king just raised his hand and said with a sigh, "I know what you want to say, but there's

no other choice. I know that if we were to fall for their provocations and fight them, there's no doubt that we will all be slaughtered."

Then in a more serious voice, he said, "But it is strange that they would attack right when the monsters started attacking us..."

He left his voice hanging as if he was implying something.

All of the ministers had serious looks on their faces when they heard this.

Seeing that they understood what he was implying, the king said, "For now, keep your eyes

open and see what you can find. If we do find enough evidence, it will be easier for us to go to the Holy Empire when the time comes."

All of the ministers nodded in agreement after hearing this.

But what they were actually thinking...

The most important thing was one's life.

"Boom!"

There was a loud sound that came from outside before a voice shouted out.

"The gates have been destroyed!"

The king and ministers revealed looks as if they were preparing to face the reaper.
