Chapter 902: A different Midra Kingdom
Chapter 902: A different Midra Kingdom
Three days later, we were setting off.
It was a total of a hundred wyvern riders that were sent with me to the Midra Kingdom.
These hundred wyvern riders would be enough to raze the capital city of the Midra Kingdom, that was just how powerful they were. So it wasn’t as if this was a small force that we were sending to the Midra Kingdom.
I was surprised that the prime minister was even sending this many wyvern riders.
After all, the normal amount to send was just twenty wyvern riders which was already considered the equal of ten thousand soldiers.
These hundred wyvern riders was equal to an army of fifty thousand being sent to another kingdom.
One might even think that we were invading the Midra Kingdom with this line up.
Along with them was Cecilia, Moon, and Veronica who insisted on coming with me to protect me. All three of them seemed like they were completely set on accompanying me wherever I was going to go from now on.
The prime minister knew that it was impossible to stop them since Angela was the one backing them, so he just let them do whatever they wanted. Or it was better to say that he just threw this problem to me since I was the only one that could deal with them.
Though it would be hard to deal with them since they were so insistent on this in the first place.
So I just let them come along with me since this wasn’t something that was that dangerous. Though we were heading into a different kingdom, everything should be under our control. So there shouldn’t be anything that could threaten us.
It would be hard to find something that could threaten a bunch of wyverns in the first place. The moment that we arrived at the border, we realized that the Midra Kingdom was already completely different from before.
There were far less guards that were at the border in the first place. This was far less than there should have been.
It was almost as if there was a lack of forces for the Midra Kingdom, as if there was something that was drawing all their forces away.
It wasn’t hard to guess what it was, especially with how the remaining guards acted when they saw us arrive.
Instead of seeing an invading force, it was almost as if they were seeing some kind of saviour. With the way that they treated us, it wasn’t a problem for us to make it through the border.
It seemed that the Midra Kingdom really was desperate that they allowed us to pass through their borders so easily.
Or was it the influence of the second prince?
They didn’t even restrict our wyverns as we flew across the land. It was as if they wanted us to reach the capital as soon as possible.
As we flew across the land of the Midra Kingdom, I had to admit that it was quite the sight. Though it couldn’t be considered a good thing that it was such a sight.
In the past, when we travelled across the Midra Kingdom, it had at least seemed like a land that was filled with vitality.
It had seemed like a place that was filled with the life of the people even though they had lost
a war.
But now…
The land seemed barren.
It wasn’t that it was completely dead, but it was like there was some kind of illness that was spreading across this land, bent on devouring everything that was in its path.
This was a land that was on the verge of death.
It seemed like the Midra Kingdom was really on its last leg. It seemed that it wouldn’t be long before the Midra Kingdom ran out of space.
What would push them this far?
The monsters scattered down below.
Even though I was certain that the Midra Kingdom tried their best, it seemed that they weren’t able to keep the monsters at bay.
In the end, they weren’t able to keep the monsters back and now they were rampaging in the countryside.
Though the one thing to take note of was…a lack of marks of fighting.
There were traces of a fight all over, but there weren’t any large marks showing that something large had joined the fray. There were no marks showing that the wyverns had come to destroy the monsters.
It seemed that the nobles of the Midra Kingdom were still the same as always. The only people that they cared about was themselves.
Though I was a bit surprised that the second prince didn’t send the wyverns out since he controlled them.
I thought that he at least cared about the people of the Midra Kingdom since that was the impression that he gave off.
Perhaps it was a part of his plan, or perhaps there was something holding him back. Though it didn’t seem like the others had any pity for the people of the Midra Kingdom.
It seemed like they saw them as part of the enemy.
Shaking my head, I said with a sigh, “Will they still be the enemy if we take them over? The people are the people, a country is a country, don’t confuse the two. The people are innocent regardless of what the country does.”
Everyone was shocked to hear me say this, but they eventually reined themselves in.
Since they had been chosen to come along, they had an idea of what was about to happen. Not
a single one of them questioned what I said and just accepted it.
Though they did look at me with a strange look.
After flying for a bit, we arrived at the capital of the Midra Kingdom.
Unlike the rest of the country, it seemed like the capital hadn’t been affected as much. In fact,
it even seemed like most of the soldiers were gathered in this place.
It seemed like the Midra Kingdom was till the same in certain aspects.
