653 Future of the wyverns (2)
When the fourth prince arrived, the first thing that he said was, “How?”
He didn’t even explain anything, he just asked for an explanation without even indicating what he was asking about.
However, I knew exactly what he was asking about.
In fact, there was only one thing that he could be asking about in this situation.
It was those over a thousand wyverns that were gathered outside of our town.
We had designated a large clearing in the forest near the town for the wyverns and had set up facilities for them.
During these past two days, Haley had been running all over trying to find food for these wyverns. Even the elves had been called on for help since there was plenty of food to gather from their forest.
The wyverns were like bottomless pits when it came to food.
It was just a good thing that Haley was a true goddess of wealth that we were able to have enough money to feed them.
I just looked at the fourth prince with a smile and said, “You asked me to deal with them, so I dealt with them. Is there anything wrong with that?”
The fourth prince looked at me as if he was questioning if I was serious or not.
But after a while, he said with a bitter smile, “You know that this isn’t what I meant.”
I just looked at him with the same smile on my face without saying a single thing.
The fourth prince gave a sigh before saying, “What are you planning on doing with them now?”
This was what I had been waiting for, but I didn’t rush to tell him.
Instead, I said to the fourth prince, “How about we take a walk first and have a look at the wyverns?”
The fourth prince was surprised to hear this, but he gave a nod of agreement in the end.
The two of us left the town with quite a large group in the end.
It was all of the subordinates of the fourth prince who had come back to the town with us. They had been waiting here the entire time for the arrival of the fourth prince and now that he was here, they accompanied him as if they were there to protect him.
But at the same time, there was something that they had to report to the fourth prince once they were there.
When we arrived at the clearing where the wyverns were, there was a loud sound that came from in front of us.
It was the sounds of wyverns roaring and the sounds of something hard hitting each other.
I wasn’t surprised to hear this, but the fourth prince looked at me with one brow raised.
I just gestured for him to go forward and see for himself what these sounds were.
When we walked through the trees and into the clearing, we saw what was making all that noise.
It was two wyverns fighting with each other.
But the strange thing about these wyverns was that there were two people sitting on their backs that seemed to be directing them. As they gave orders, the wyverns followed them to clash with each other.
It seemed like this was a fight between two wyvern riders.
After watching this for a bit, the fourth prince looked at me with a look like he was asking me to explain what was happening.
With a smile, I just said, “It is as you can see. They are controlling the wyverns and fighting with them as riders. This is their training for the future when they ride onto the battlefield as wyvern riders.”
The fourth prince had a shocked look on his face at first, but slowly it changed into a look of thought.
I had no doubt that the fourth prince understood what I was implying with this, it was just waiting to see how he would react.
After a long silence, the fourth prince asked, “How many have you trained so far?”
“One hundred.” I replied in a calm voice.
The fourth prince narrowed his brows slightly as he said, “But the report says that you have over a thousand wyverns?”I gave a nod without saying a single thing.
The fourth prince looked at me with the same knitted brows for a bit before a smile slowly crept onto his face to show that he understood what I meant. With that smile on his face, he asked, “How many are you planning on giving me?”
“Five hundred.”
The fourth prince slightly knitted his brows again when he heard this before saying, “Only five hundred? I can take more than that.”
With a bitter smile, I said, “You should see just how much they eat before you say that.”
The fourth prince just said with a chuckle, “Is it really that much that I can’t afford to feed them?”
With a more serious look, I said, “Well, there are other places that I want to send these wyverns, so I hope that you will not mind.”
The fourth prince narrowed his eyes to look at me as if he was doubting my allegiance again, but I just calmly looked right into his eyes.
It was only after he stared into my eyes for a bit that he finally gave a nod and said, “Alright, we’ll follow your plans.”
He seemed satisfied with what he saw and that was all that was necessary.
I gave a nod in response before looking at the guards that were behind the fourth prince.
Though I couldn’t see their faces, I could see how awkward they were standing. It was as if they wanted to say something, but they didn’t know how to say it.
So I said with a cough, “I think that your men have something to say.”
The fourth prince turned around to look at them before asking, “What is it?”
The cloaked figures were surprised to hear this, but the leader of that group still stepped forward and said, “We have already chosen wyverns as well.”
