Chapter 663 End of the war
In the end, I never got the chance to go and visit Rose’s parents.
That was because we could set a plan to go visit them, there was an announcement from the capital that cancelled any plans that I had.
It was a decree that announced the end of the war.
The four kingdoms that had invaded us had declared their surrender and this had ended the war. After some discussions on the terms of the surrender, our kingdom had accepted the surrender of these kingdoms and had officially won the war.
I was surprised to see the terms in the decree since it was quite generous for us.
The other kingdoms had surrendered quite a bit of land and had even been forced to pay reparations.
A surrender like this seemed like they had completely given up on the war and was begging for mercy from us.
But the second messenger that the fourth prince sent explained to me what had happened.
Simply put, there was one reason why they had surrendered.
Wyverns.
It was because wyverns had appeared on the battlefield.
It wasn’t just the wyverns that I had brought to attack the Beirut Kingdom army, it was the wyverns that had appeared afterwards that had sealed the fate of this war. Of course, these wyverns were also related to me.
These wyverns were the ones that I had entrusted to the fourth prince.
He had sent his men over right away and they had been trained strictly, so they could go onto the battlefield as soon as possible.
Then with the guards that had already been trained, they headed off to the battlefield with the Darius Kingdom.
This was the last kingdom that had declared war on our Kite Kingdom and the last army that was still invading our land.
When the wyvern riders appeared on the battlefield, they razed the lines of the enemies with flames.
Working with the army of our kingdom that had been sent to face the Darius Kingdom army, they had been able to defeat them while barely suffering any casualties. The armies of the Darius Kingdom had been wiped out and barely any soldiers had survived, just like the rest of the invaders.
Once the armies of the Darius Kingdom fell, there were no more armies in our land.
The four kingdoms could have sent more soldiers, but they had already sent so many of their troops into our land that they were now barely able to manage their own territories.
It was at this point that the fourth prince sent out the wyvern riders to attack the lands of the four kingdoms.
Since they were wyverns that could fly, they could strike at different parts of the four kingdoms without anything stopping them.
And since they were working with humans, they were able to track the subjugation parties sent by the four kingdoms and leave before they could arrive.
With the wyverns terrorizing their territory like this, the four kingdoms had no choice but to surrender. Especially since they had seen movement from our kingdom’s armies like we were about to invade them.
Once that happened, it would only be a matter of time before they lost all of their lands.
So it was better to cut off a piece of meat than to lose everything.
This was how peace was returned to our kingdom.
As for why this messenger had been sent to tell me about this, it was related to why I had to cancel my plans. I was called to the capital for the ceremony to declare the end of this war.
It was also the place where everyone would receive their rewards for their accomplishments during the war.
I certainly didn’t have a lack of accomplishments during the war, but there was something that I was worried about.
The number of lives that I had buried during the war definitely wasn’t small…
I was worried that I would be held accountable for this…
“Can you not go?” Rose said in a worried voice as we were discussing this.
I shook my head as I said, “I have to go, it’s a direct summon from the king.”
Angela looked at me with a worried look too before saying, “I can talk to my father, maybe that will help?”
Again I shook my head before saying, “There’s a summon for you too, so we have no choice but to go to the capital together.”Angela was surprised when she heard this, so I handed the message that I had received to her.
She saw that there was the signature of both the king and the fourth prince on the message, showing how official this was. Even if she didn’t want to go, with her father and her fourth brother both signing this decree, she had no choice but to go.
But this didn’t make sense at all.
Why would they summon her to the capital after all this time?
She didn’t have anything to do with the victory declaration ceremony this time, so there was no need for her to go to the capital.
Unless…they were planning something.
The start of this war was related to her engagement in the first place, so if they were to call her back…could it be that they wanted to take back the engagement that they had made with Zwein?
Angela couldn’t help looking even more worried as this thought crossed her mind.
There was no one that said a thing as we all just sat there in deep thought.
In the end, the only thing that I could do was saying, “For now, there’s no use worrying about all of this. I’m the one that controls the wyverns, so they won’t do anything to me right now. In the future, they might try to do something, but that won’t be before they take control of the wyverns from me.”
All of the girls nodded in agreement when they heard this, but they still had worried looks.
With a sigh, I said with a worried look, “We can only wait and see.”
