When the flas and dust cleared, the king, the ministers, and the generals found that they were in a throne room that was completely filled with holes.
The walls had many different holes punched through them and judging by the flas that were there, it seed that they had been caused by so kind of fla attack.
It was as if several fireballs landed on the castle, creating these explosions.
The king and his subordinates didn't even have to guess to know what had caused these explosions.
It was the fla breaths from the wyverns.
They thought that the wyverns were just circling around the capital, but now it seed like they were finally attacking.
There really wasn't anything that they could do against these wyverns since they weren't equipped to deal with them. Unless they had special tools and powerful magicians, they wouldn't be able to deal with these wyverns at all.
So the king realized that there was nothing that they could do except run.
Only he didn't understand why the wyverns would suddenly attack the castle like this... That was until so royal guards ca in to say, "The castle has been surrounded!"
The faces of the king and his subordinates all beca ugly when they heard this.
After all, this basically was cutting off their escape route.
Even if there were secret routes out of the castle, there was no doubt that they would be discovered if they tried to escape. There was no way that they would be able to avoid the wyverns that were circling outside.
That was right, what the king was worried about wasn't the uprising citizens, but rather the wyverns that were outside.
Based on everything that had happened, it was clear that whoever was in charge of the wyverns had the idea of directing the rebelling civilians.
They were using them to put pressure on the ones that were in the castle.
After all, if they were to slaughter them, then they would be the ones that would suffer since these were citizens of their own country. This was not a decision that they could make that easily since every citizen lost would be one less citizen of their country.
They were not resources that could be regained that easily.
So it wasn't as if they could arbitrarily slaughter all the people that were gathered outside. Not to ntion that the wyverns wouldn't allow such a thing to happen in the first place.
If they were to try anything like that, there was no doubt that the wyverns would intervene like they would now.
At the sa ti, there was no doubt that the ones that commanded the wyverns would have also found their secret passages.
It really seed like all their routes were blocked...
The king gritted his teeth before slowly walking over to one of the holes in the wall.
This might seem like a dumb idea since the wyverns were still flying around outside, but that wasn't the case.
After all, if he were to stay here and do nothing, then the only thing that was waiting for him was being captured by the rebelling citizens.
If he didn't go to the hole and try to negotiate with the wyvern riders, then all that's waiting for him was death. If he tried to negotiate with them and figure out a way to surrender, then at least he would survive.
At this point, his throne wasn't important.
The only thing that was important was his own life.
The ones that now controlled his life were circling around the castle with their wyverns.
So the king had no choice but to negotiate with them.
After coming to the hole in the wall, he could see that there were many wyverns that were currently flying there in the skies around the castle. It seed like the skies were completely filled with them and they had completely locked down the castle.
It was as if there was no way for him to run no matter where he went.
So the king just stood there, as if he was waiting for sothing to happen.
After a minute, one of the wyverns that had been flying there in the sky suddenly started coming down. After flying down, that wyvern ca in front of the castle where the king was standing and just floated there.
The king narrowed his eyes to look at the wyvern rider before saying, "Are you the one that is in charge of these wyverns? I wish to surrender and hand over my throne!"
The king said this without any hesitation, showing just what kind of resolve that he had co
to.
This was indeed the best choice for him in this situation since there was nothing else that he could do at this point.
If he didn't surrender now, then all that was waiting for him was being torn apart by the rebelling citizens below.
But it didn't seem like the wyvern rider was about to say anything.
After a long silence, Erina finally said, "We don't need it."
"Huh?" The king was shocked to hear this as he couldn't understand what Erina ant by this.
However, Erina quickly showed what she ant with her actions.
With a tap of her wyvern's back, it suddenly moved forward.
The king was still dazed as he couldn't understand what was happening, so he wasn't able to react in ti to the wyvern suddenly grabbing him with its claws.
Then before the king could put up a struggle, he was lifted off the ground and into the air.
As he dangled in the air, he said in a voice filled with fear, "What, what are you doing?" Erina didn't say a thing as she had the wyvern fly down to the crowd.
When the crowd noticed what the wyvern was carrying, all of them started pointing and roaring at the king.
Then with a single tap of the wyvern's back, the claws loosened and the king started to fall.
Even as he fell, he never thought that this would be his end.
In the end, this was how the second kingdom fell.
