Chapter 1099: Crisis (3)


    ?


    Half an hourter at what remained of the gates to the Antwerp Kingdom''s capital. The king and his ministers all gathered in front of the wyverns that hadnded.


    They already knew what was about to happen, so they had looks on their faces like they had already braced themselves. It was just that what happened next waspletely different from what they thought would happen.


    Instead of surrendering to the Kite Kingdom, instead...


    "I am the tenth king of the Antwerp Kingdom and I hereby wish to dere the surrender of my country." The king of the Antwerp Kingdom said in a firm voice that showed his


    determination.


    Though that determination wavered when one of the wyverns suddenly came forward.


    This tremble that came from the single step of the wyvern made many of them tremble and some of the ones with weaker wills couldn''t help taking a step back.


    That just went to show how much power was in this single step from the wyvern.


    The king was one of those that didn''t take a step back, even though there was a part of him that wanted to.


    He knew that in the face of these invaders, showing weakness was not something that he could do.


    If he were to show any signs of weakness, it wouldn''t just be him and the ministers that suffered, it would be the people of his kingdom that also suffered.


    The king of the Antwerp Kingdom wasn''t the greatest king, but he was at least someone who cared about his subjects which was why he was able to remain on his throne this whole time without any real problems.


    It was only when the monsters came that the problems began.


    After that one wyvern took several steps forward, the one that was sitting on the back of the wyvern suddenly jumped down andnded in front of them.


    This wyvern rider looked right at the king and said, "You''re saying that you''re the king and that you''re surrendering?"


    The king slowly nodded in agreement, almost as if he didn''t understand why this wyvern rider was asking him this.


    The wyvern rider didn''t seem to care at all as he said, "Then can you prove that you are the king?"


    All of the ministers were taken aback when they heard this.


    It was clear that this person was the king with the way that he was standing in front of them all and was leading them, so why was this wyvern rider suddenly asking this question? But they quickly revealed serious looks since they could guess what the situation was. He was trying to put pressure on them with this question, which was why he said it like this. The king just calmly took out a token and raised it in front of the wyvern rider before saying, "This is the token of the Antwerp Royal Family, I think that this should be enough to prove that I''m the king, right?"


    The wyvern rider calmly looked at the token for a bit before slowly nodding.


    At this, the ministers rxed a bit, but they didn''t let their guards down yet.


    The actions of the wyvern rider was already enough to prove that there was hostility on his mind.


    In that case...all they could do was be wary and see what he was nning.


    There wasn''t anything that they could actually do to stop this wyvern rider from being hostile towards them after all.


    The wyvern rider didn''t seem to care at all as he turned around and waved his hand at the other wyverns.


    The king and all of the ministers tensed when they saw this.


    There were a few soldiers that gripped their weapons as if they were preparing for a fight, but most of them seemed like they were getting to run just in case something happened.


    The king and ministers also wanted to run, but they weren''t in a position to do so.


    They had to remain here in the face of these wyverns or it was unknown what would happen to their Antwerp Kingdom.


    So all they could do was hope that whatever was happening was a good thing for them.


    After that wyvern rider waved at the others, there was another wyvern that suddenly came forward.


    The booming sounds and the shaking of the footsteps from this wyvern made them tremble again, but it wasn''t as bad as the first time.


    With experience, they learned how to deal with the trembles of these footsteps.


    Once that wyvern came over, there was someone that came down from its back. Thoughpared to the first wyvern rider, this person didn''te down as gracefully as him.


    It seemed that he was still a bit shaky on getting off a wyvern.


    "It''s him..."


    The king of the Antwerp Kingdom said to himself as he recognized the person that came off the wyvern.


    He recognized him because he had met with him before.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    They were fellow rulers of their respective countries, so it was only natural that they had met each other before.


    The one that came off the wyvern was Duke Nergiante of the Nergiante Dukedom. However, the king of the Antwerp Kingdom clearly didn''t expect to see Duke Nergiante here.


    No one would have expected to see Duke Nergiante here...


    Once Duke Nergiante came off the wyvern and came to the side of the wyvern rider, the wyvern rider turned back to the king of the Antwerp Kingdom to say, "The Antwerp Kingdom''s surrender will be epted by the Nergiante Dukedom. All of theirnds and people will fall under the domain of the Nergiante Dukedom. From now on, the Nergiante Dukedom will be known as the Nergiante Kingdom."


    Everyone was shocked when they heard this since this was definitely not what they expected.


    It was one thing to be epted by the Kite Kingdom, but to be taken under the Nergiante Dukedom was apletely different matter.


    This was a big crisis for their Antwerp Kingdom.
