Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1001: Dots in the sky (3)

Right after the sound of that explosion, the entire castle seemed to shake.

All of the ministers and generals only cared about their own safety, not a single one of them cared about the safety of the king.

The king also didn't give a single trace of care about the safety of his ministers and generals, he just cared about his own safety as well.

He even went as far as hiding behind the throne after the large explosion rang out.

It was only after the echoes started to disappear and the castle stopped shaking that people slowly came out from their hiding places to see what was happening.

The king was the first to speak as he shouted from behind his throne, "Protect me! Protect me! My life is the most important!"

The king's voice had been filled with a trace of annoyance and that was because he had actually been abandoned by his ministers and generals. He had been annoyed that none of them had come over to protect him with their lives like good subordinates.

Of course, the ministers and generals wouldn't sacrifice their lives to protect this scapegoat king of theirs.

They all believed that their lives were more important than this scapegoat king of theirs that they were only keeping on the throne for convenience.

While the king continued screaming for people to come and protect him, one of the generals looked at the soldier and said, "Go and find out what happened."

The soldier had a scared look, but he still went off in the end.

But he didn't get a chance to find out as another soldier came over to report, "Your majesty, there's been an attack on the capital!"

All of the ministers and generals knitted their brows when they heard this.

None of them had thought the same thing as the king, they didn't believe that the dots in the skies were just simple birds. They knew that there had to be something else for those dots to appear in the sky like that.

"What is the damage?" The same general as before immediately roared out, covering up the king's cries to evacuate him.

The soldier was taken aback by this, but he quickly reported, "All four gates of the capital have been destroyed. At the same time, there are countless large shadows that are circling in the clouds above the capital. We are unsure what these large shadows are, but we are certain that they are enemies."

"Of course they're enemies if they've destroyed the gates!" The general roared at the soldier which made him shrink back. However, the general quickly calmed himself down and said, "Where are our troops?"

The soldier had an awkward look as he said, "The troops are all outside of the capital currently. They had been deployed to watch out for the monsters that were approaching."

"Then none of them stopped the flying creatures?" The general roared.

"They couldn't stop them, we didn't see them until it was too late." The soldier reported with another awkward look on his face.

The general deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

All of them had sent their troops out to protect their own properties against the monsters since they never thought that such a thing would happen. The capital of their kingdom was one of the most well defended places with elite soldiers from the royal army, so how could such a thing happen?

"It must be the wyverns of the Kite Kingdom!" The king suddenly shouted. Everyone looked at the king with strange looks before shaking their heads.

Not a single one of them seemed like they believed the king when he said this.

After all, they all believed that the Kite Kingdom would keep the treaty that they had signed. If the Kite Kingdom ignored the treaty that they signed at a time like this where monster waves were attacking the human race, there was no doubt that they would receive backlash from the other kingdoms.

So they didn't think that the Kite Kingdom would be foolish enough to do something like this at this time.

But if it wasn't the wyverns of the Kite Kingdom, they really couldn't think of anything that could have caused this kind of destruction...

Unless it was a new kind of monster?

Had the monsters evolved far enough that they were able to wield this kind of destructive power?

As this thought passed through their minds, there were many of these senior officials of the Darius Kingdom that started considering their options.

The one that most of them were keen on accepting was to submit themselves to one of the empires.

They knew that the empires had been moving because of the monster waves, but they had chosen not to accept their help since they didn't want the influence of the empires in their land.

But now it seemed like they didn't have a choice.

Seeing that not a single one of them was listening to him, the king roared, "Go and fight them! Repel these invaders and protect my lands! That is your job as my subordinates! Don't let them lay a single hand on my toys!"

All of the ministers and generals looked at the king with disappointed looks when they heard this.

This was one of the disadvantages of having a scapegoat as their king.

When things came down to it, they couldn't rely on him to get them through a crisis.

At the same time, since they had divided the power between them, it meant that they wouldn't be able to provide a unified response.

It was so bad that many of them were already considering how they would be able to escape with just their families.

It was too bad that they didn't get a chance to execute any of this.

There was this whistling sound that suddenly rang out through the air that confused most of

them, but then there was a...

"Boom!"
