Chapter 914: Invading army
The next morning came and there was nothing special that happened.
It was the same thing where the ministers tried to convince Klein to move out again, but they were once again rejected.
Even though it was very clear that they were frustrated, there was just nothing that they could do since we had come to help them. We were the ones that were offering our generosity, so there was nothing that they could say.
But it was very clear that they were getting fed up at this rate.
It was only a matter of time before they did something drastic.
It was just too bad that they wouldn’t get that chance since everything was supposed to end today.
Whether the second prince did anything or not, today was the day that everything would come to an end.
We would take the wyverns if things failed.
As such, we spent the day taking care of the wyverns to make it seem like they were still resting.
When the ministers saw this, they had no choice but to leave us to the wyverns since they couldn’t stop us from taking care of them. They could only hope that this was the last time that we needed to.
As we were alone on the wyvern training field, Klein came over to talk to me.
It seemed like a normal talk, but it was anything but normal.
“Do you really think that he’ll act today? Or do you think that this is all one big trap?” Klein asked me.
I just shook my head before saying, “I have no idea, but we’re ready regardless of what happens.”
Klein was about to nod in agreement, but he was interrupted by some people running over. We were completely caught off guard since we didn’t expect them to appear in front of us like this, but it was the ministers who came running back.
We were almost certain that they were here again to try and convince us to head out, but this wasn’t the case.
Instead…
“Sir Klein, you must help us! The second prince has gone mad and is coming with a rebel army to take the capital! He has taken all of the wyverns, we need your help!”
They didn’t hide anything from us, but that just went to show how desperate they were.
We were completely caught off guard when we heard this.
After all, we never expected the second prince’s big move to be a coup.
We thought that the second prince would be much more smooth with his big move, but he was doing something as crude as a coup d’etat with force…
This really didn’t seem like the second prince.
But if one thought about it, they would have realized that this was no ordinary coup d’etat.
If it was a normal coup, would the ministers of the kingdom really come looking for them for help?
They were from a foreign country, so it wasn’t as if they would turn to them for help unless it was a final resort.
That meant that whatever force that the second prince had gathered had the power to threaten them this much. It most likely even had the power to take over the entire kingdom without any effort.
First were the ten wyverns that were set to be loyal to the second prince.
But what else was there in the second prince’s army?
Thinking about this, we decided to go and see what the second prince’s army was like, though the pretense that we accepted it on was that we were going to stop the second prince’s army.
Of course, there was no way that we would actually stop them since we wanted this to happen. They didn’t think that this was also the case since they were panicking, so we received information for free and were allowed to leave without any problems.
When we left the city, we immediately saw the second prince’s army.
I had to admit that it was indeed quite the army.
It was one that I had never seen before.
I couldn’t estimate it with just my eyes, but there were people that I could rely on for matters like this. There were those that were skilled in military matters like this and could give me advice.
“Two hundred thousand… No, it’s at least three hundred thousand at a rough estimate.” Klein said in a heavy voice.
Three hundred thousand… That was more than anything that they sent at us during the war.
With how many soldiers had been lost during the war, I really couldn’t believe that the second prince was able to raise an army of this size.
Or rather, it was hard to believe that the Midra Kingdom had this many troops in the first
place.
Not to mention that this wasn’t including the troops that were under the command of the
king.
There was surely a royal army that would be facing this rebel army formed by the second prince.
It was hard to imagine just how people would die if there was a fight…
As we came closer to the second prince’s army, there were wyverns that appeared in the air. These were wyverns that were separate from the wyverns that we brought with us.
These were the ten wyverns that had been with the Midra Kingdom the entire time.
Like the ministers said, these wyverns had gone with the second prince and joined the rebel
army.
When they approached, they didn’t attack us.
It wasn’t just because it was a bad idea for them to attack us since we far outnumbered them.
It was also because they didn’t have any hostility towards us and we didn’t have any hostility towards them.
The leader of this group of ten wyverns waved at Klein and said, “The second prince invites you to his camp to discuss matters.”
Klein looked at me and I gave a nod in response.
At this point, there was no point in hiding my identity, so I took charge of the group.
I wanted to see just what the second prince was planning.
