Chapter 988: Ride at dawn


    ?


    Armed with that knowledge, I knew that there were stashes being kept by the noble families hidden all over.


    Those stashes had things such as food and money, which could easily be used to feed and take care of the citizens of the kingdoms that we took over.


    The nobles could have done it themselves, but they were corrupt nobles.


    Though thinking about it, it was certainly strange that all of the nobles in the surrounding countries were corrupt nobles. This was something that was kept from the game world since this was the plot device that was used to make it easier for the main character to take down the surrounding kingdoms in one of the quests.


    The location of the stashes were also rewards from ying that quest line.


    That was why I knew that we would be able to stabilize the surrounding kingdoms.


    In a way, this could be considered doing the quest now by taking over these three kingdoms. Even the rewards were the same...


    It really was a strange feeling, but I didn''t let myself be bothered by that feeling for long since there were more important things to take care of.


    Based on the expression that was on the faces of the two of them, I knew that they would need one final push.


    "There''s a mountain filled with beasts in the Beirut Kingdom. This is a mountain that they considered a taboo zone, but for us with the wyverns..." I didn''t finish these words, but the meaning was clear.


    The eyes of the prime minister and the chancellor lit up when they heard this since they could already see the value of this ce.


    But there was still one more knife that I wanted to drive into their hearts.


    "There''s a mountain that''s said to house some wyverns in the Vikal Kingdom."


    There was no need to exin further with this as both the prime minister and the chancellor immediately had shocked looks on their faces.


    The two of them looked at me with narrowed eyes for a bit, but I just calmly looked back at them with a smile on my face.


    After a long silence, the prime minister said with a bitter smile, "It turned out that you already nned everything."


    With the same smile on my face, I said, "I didn''t n everything. I still need you toe up with a n to attack and take over all three of the kingdoms at once."


    "Oh is that all?" The prime minister said in a casual voice before revealing a smile to say, "You left us the easy part, didn''t you?"


    The chancellor also revealed a faint smile when he heard this, but he didn''t deny what the prime minister said. After all, in their minds, the two of them actually saw this as an easy job since the kingdoms that they were targeting had already been weakened by the monster


    waves.


    With the wyverns that they possessed, it really was an easy matter of invading these countries.


    At the same time, since all of the other countries were experiencing monster waves as well, it would be hard for them to denounce them.


    Once they organized themselves, they would have a kingdom that would have more than double their current territory.


    While they wouldn''t bring them up to the same level as the empires, that was still enough for them to reach the same level as the kingdoms that were only second to the empires.


    So the empires wouldn''t be able to move that easily against them unless they worked together to take the Kite Kingdom down, but no one believed that the empires would move together.


    They had been against each other for so many years now that it seemed like it was impossible for them to ever work together.


    So as long as they were able to take down the three kingdoms fast enough, there wouldn''t be a problem...


    Well, there would be problems down the line, but there were no foreseeable problems.


    "How are you going to take it?" I couldn''t help asking the prime minister and chancellor when I saw the look on their faces.


    The two of them were pulled out of their thoughts and they looked at me with serious looks before asking, "Do you want the truth?"


    There was a trace of bitterness that appeared in my smile after hearing this, but I still gave a nod in response.


    The prime minister just simply said, "We''ll send everything."


    The chancellor nodded in agreement as he said, "This will be a show."


    I couldn''t help feeling a bit sorry for the nobles of the three kingdoms after hearing this, but this was just how it was.


    As for me, there was a letter that I should send.


    ...


    It took a week to gather everyone and move them to the locations that they needed to be moved.


    After organizing everything, we had even folded the army of the former Midra Kingdom into ourmand structure.


    They were actually happy to join us since they hadn''t been receiving their dues.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Instead of serving a master that didn''t pay them, they were happy to serve one that paid them quite well.


    In addition, we even offered pensions for those that were injured in battle, which made them even more loyal. Knowing that their families would be taken care of even after their deaths, they had less worries in their hearts when fighting.


    And knowing that they would be protecting the people that they cared about, this gave them


    more drive to fight.


    So that made them loyal to us.


    In front of the castle were Klein and the other royal guards.


    They looked quite inspiring with their wyverns lined up behind them.


    Out of the over a thousand wyverns that had been tamed, there were over half of them that


    were here.


    The rest of them had already set off.


    In total, we were using over nine hundred wyverns for this invasion n.


    The only ones that didn''t go were those that were too young to fight.


    Seeing them stand in front of me like this, I couldn''t help being impressed by how far we had


    come.


    So I just said in a few simple words, "Good fortune to you."


    All of them nodded in agreement before riding off under the dawning sun.
