Chapter 1002: Dots in the sky (4)
There were flames and dust that suddenly filled this room.
Regardless of if they were a minister or a general, they just were not able to stand up straight as this explosion rocked the room.
All of them were knocked back by the force of the explosion and they fell to the ground.
The king was the one that suffered the brunt of it since the explosion came from behind him. He had been hiding behind the throne, but he had been looking at the ministers and generals while he was screaming at them. Since the explosion came from right behind him, that meant that the force of the explosion pushed him right up against the throne.
At the same time, the flames just slammed right into him.
Unlike the others that could let the flames blow past, since he was stuck against the throne, he actually acted against a wall for the flames. That meant that all of the flames that would have blown past him and only given him slight burns were now being slammed right into his body. When it was over, the burns that were on his back were very hard to look at.
The eyes of the king had rolled back in their sockets and it seemed like he had lost consciousness.
It was hard to even tell if he was still alive.
If it wasn't for the slight movement coming from his chest, most of the ministers and generals would have thought that he was already dead.
But that was the least of their worries as there was now a hole that was in this throne room.
The hole had come from whatever had created that explosion.
There were even still small flames that were on the edge of this hole that were still burning
away.
But there didn't seem to be anything that was outside of the hole.
It seemed like the only thing that they could see was the capital outside of the castle.
Just why would they suddenly attack the castle like this?
After a moment of silence, there were a few generals and ministers that started moving towards the hole.
While this seemed dangerous, they knew that this was the least dangerous place.
After all, this was the place that had just been attacked, so there was no meaning in attacking the same place a second time. If they were going to attack the castle again, they would naturally not attack the same place as before.
There wouldn't be anything else for them to destroy.
So they were planning on using this gap to discover the identity of the enemies.
But before they could peek their heads out, they suddenly felt a gust of wind hitting them. The wind wasn't strong enough that it would blow them all back, but it was certainly not a weak gust of wind either.
Enduring this, they found that there was something that seemed to be approaching the hole in the castle wall.
Though it was still far away, the wind that came from the flapping of their wings was already this strong. It was more than enough to show just how powerful this creature that was approaching the hole in the wall was.
But the ministers and generals still endured to look out the hole in the wall to see exactly what was happening outside the castle.
When they looked out, they found those large shadows that were in the clouds that the soldier had mentioned before. Only when they looked at it closely, they were able to see the outlines properly now.
Wyverns.
It was a bunch of wyverns.
When they saw this, all of them couldn't help thinking about what the king had said previously.
"It must be the wyverns of the Kite Kingdom!"
Perhaps there was some truth in his words...
After being dazed for a bit, they finally saw that the creature that had been approaching the hole was finally close enough for them to see it clearly.
It was indeed a wyvern and there seemed to be someone on its back.
The generals and ministers immediately moved away from the hole as they could see that the wyvern that was approaching the hole seemed like it was about to land.
To avoid being crushed by the wyvern as it landed, all of them quickly moved away from the hole.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
When the wyvern landed, there was a loud sound, but it didn't seem like there was anything else that was going to happen. Well, other than the large gust of wind that suddenly blew through the room that put out all of the flames that were left.
When the dust raised by the gust of wind settled, the appearance of the wyvern was revealed.
Terrifying.
That was the only thought that passed through the minds of the ministers and generals when they saw this wyvern.
There were also soldiers that came when they heard this, but not a single one of them was able to keep their courage in the face of this wyvern. All of them stood there in a daze when they faced this wyvern.
There was a long silence that hung in this room until a voice finally said, "Where is your
king?"
All of the ministers and generals revealed awkward looks when they heard this before looking at the burnt body of the king that was just lying against the throne.
The one that spoke poked their head out from the wyvern and followed the gazes of the ministers and generals until he saw the burnt king lying there.
After taking a moment to process this, the person asked, "Is this your king?"
All of the ministers and generals had bitter smiles on their faces as they slowly nodded in agreement.
There was another silence that hung in the air before the wyvern rider said, "Well, it doesn't matter."
He turned back to look at the ministers and generals before saying, "We are here to invade
your country."
