Chapter 701 A poor country (1)


    ??In the end, there was nothing that they could do in the face of this royal decree.


    It was a fact that they were behind on their payments, so they had to ept the demands that we were making since these demands were rted to these payments.


    What I was doing was inspecting the resources of their country to see what could be used as coteral for dying this payment.


    So what I was technically doing was the work of a debt collector.


    The second reason why they were allowing all of this to happen was because of the wyverns that we had brought with us. It was like bringing a gun with us that would force them to ept our demands.


    After all, if the wyverns were to rampage in their capital, the damage would be unimaginable.


    That was thest thing that they could allow to happen, so they had to follow our demands.


    Once that was settled, there wasn''t much else that needed to be said as we were brought to the residence that they had prepared for us.


    It was a bit worn down, but it was still considered arge mansion.


    Though if one looked carefully, they could see that there were burn marks that were around this area. It seemed that this was one of the ces that had been lit on fire when the wyverns attacked the capital.


    Was this on purpose or was it just a coincidence.


    It really was hard to tell.


    Still, it wasn''t as if we would be staying in this ce forever, so we might as well suck it up for a night.


    The inside was at least properly cleaned and decorated, so it wasn''t as if it wascking.


    When the morning came, the prime minister was the one that came to pick us up.


    It seemed like they were taking this matter seriously that even the prime minister was sent toe with us.


    Or at least that was what we thought at first until we saw all the ministers that wereing along.


    This wasn''t them taking it seriously, this was them being cautious.


    All of these ministers wereing along to make sure that we weren''t excessive in our demands and that we didn''t take anything that they couldn''t give up.


    If I had to guess, it was very likely that they would try to keep us from certain areas with their numbers alone.


    This was certainly a strategy, though I couldn''t call it a wise one.


    Still, we had our own card to y.


    "We''ll be taking the wyverns."


    The moment that the prime minister and the other ministers from the Beirut Kingdom heard this, all of them had stunned looks on their faces. It didn''t take long before those stunned looks turned into ugly expressions.


    The prime minister slowly said, "There''s no need for that, is there? Couldn''t we take the horse carriage?"


    I firmly shook my head before saying, "We have little time to spare, so it''s best if we are as efficient as possible. We will be taking the wyverns, whether youe with us or not. If you are noting with us, could you give us a map of the area so we can find the ces we need to go? We''ll meet you there."


    The prime minister once again revealed an even uglier expression when he heard this.


    He had never seen a person as shameless as this, asking for a map of another country''s important resources like this. This was something that would be considered one of the greatest secrets of a country since they would never let another country learn about the resources they possessed that easily.


    So in the end, the prime minister and the ministers had no choice but to get on the back of our wyverns.


    They were so scared that we even had to lift them up and toss them onto the back of the wyverns, though it really wasn''t my tossing them since I wasn''t strong enough for that.


    There was a lot of screaming that came from this while we were tossing them up and it attracted quite a bit of attention.


    There were even some guards that came since they thought that we were kidnapping people, but the prime minister and ministers quickly resolved that.


    Though by the end of it, their faces werepletely red since they had been embarrassed in front of their people like this.


    Seeing this, the fourth prince and I looked at each other with faint smiles.


    This was just one part of our n.


    The second part of our n woulde once we went into the air.


    "Ah!"


    There was even more screaming that rang out when our wyverns suddenly flew into the air.


    The ones that were controlling the wyverns had annoyed looks since their passengers kept moving around. There were even some of them that tried to grab the wyvern riders to stabilize themselves, but they just flopped on their faces since they weren''t used to moving on the back of the wyverns.


    This wasn''t something that anyone could do, let alone a bunch of ministers that spent most of their days in an office.


    So most of them were just disorientating themselves as they struggled on the back of the wyverns.


    I didn''t have to suffer this fate since Joan was special.


    She wasn''t someone that I could let anyone ride, let alone people from other countries that could be hostile. She was the important Wyvern Queen that would maintain the peace between wyverns and humans, so nothing could happen to her.


    Not that they would ever learn of this.


    I could see from the back of Joan just how bad they were getting, which meant that our n was working.


    The fourth prince and I had even secretly told the wyvern riders to go as rough as they could with their passengers.


    After all, we wanted them to be as dizzy as possible when they got off.
