Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1006: Dots in the sky (8)



"What happened? What is that sound?!" The king shouted after the echos and the trembling had stopped.

Though when he shouted like this, everyone could hear the trace of worry that was in his voice.

Not a single person was mistaken, they all knew that this sound wouldn't be a good sign.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But no one was able to answer this question as they were all in the same situation as the king. They had been in this throne room the entire time for the meeting, so they had no idea what was happening outside.

It was then that several soldiers suddenly ran in to say, "Your majesty, the gates have been breached!"

"What do you mean by that?" The king roared out once more.

The soldier shrinked back at first, but then they reported, "The wyverns have destroyed the gates of the capital with their flame breaths and now there are swarms of the rebels surging into the capital."

"What are the guards doing?!" The king slammed his fist down as he roared out this time.

It really seemed like he had completely lost his patience and he just couldn't take the idiots that he was working with.

This time, the soldiers all seemed to hesitate to answer his question.

But under the gaze that he cast on them, they had no choice but to answer.

"They have surrendered." The soldiers said in somber voices.

The king was shocked to hear this, so shocked that his rage completely left him.

He no longer had the same enraged look on his face, but rather there was a careful look of thought instead. As well, there seemed to be a trace of fear in his eyes that was hidden under everything.

It seemed that the king finally realized the situation that he was in and he knew that being angry wouldn't be any use.

If he were to get out of this situation, then he would have to think of a way out of this castle. After all, with all of the guards of the capital surrendering, there was no doubt that this castle would be targeted next. The one with the biggest target on his head would naturally be him, who was the king of this country.

He would be the one that everyone blamed for all the problems with this kingdom.

He couldn't even trust the ministers and generals that were in this room since he knew that they wouldn't hesitate to sell him out if it meant that they would be able to live.

That was the reason why they had kept all their trump cards hidden the entire time.

The king could even see that there were a few people with sharp minds that were looking at him with dangerous looks. They tried to hide it, but the king had sat on the throne for this long for a reason, he wasn't a fool that would miss these looks.

He knew what the signs were and how to avoid them to keep himself on the throne.

But what was important now wasn't actually the throne, but his own life.

With a snap of his fingers, there were several cloaked figures that appeared around the throne.

The ministers and generals were all shocked to see this, but they didn't say anything as they could see that the king was calm about all of this. With the way that he acted, it was almost as if he was the one that had summoned them in the first place.

That was because he was.

This was a secret death squad that the king had trained from elites in the royal guards. It could be said that this was the strongest group of fighters in the entire Beirut Kingdom.

As for why the king was summoning them now...

It was obvious that he was doing it to get himself out of the castle.

The ministers and generals all deeply knitted their brows after overcoming the shock that they felt. They knew that if they let the king go like this, there was nothing good that was waiting for them.

If they wanted a chance to survive, they either had to go with him or they had to find a way to take down this group to capture the king.

They preferred the former option rather than the latter.

"Your majesty, I have a secret passage that will lead out of the capital. There is a warehouse with supplies waiting outside of the capital." One of the ministers suddenly said this.

The other ministers and generals all glared at this minister, but they didn't waste any time cursing him out since they knew that it would be useless. Even if they cursed him out, it wouldn't help their own case.

So the only thing that they could do was start giving their own offers to the king.

As long as the king accepted to take them along with them, that was all that they needed.

The king narrowed his eyes to look at the ministers and generals, but it didn't seem like he was surprised to hear them saying all of this. It was as if he had already expected this and was currently considering who had the best offer.

The king didn't seem worried even though the rebels were storming the capital, that was because he knew that it would take some time for them to reach the castle.

Right now, the most important thing was choosing the best people to help him.

In the end, the king chose several ministers and generals that would give him the best resources to aid his escape from the capital.

After picking them, the king had the cloaked figures clear the way for him to leave with the ones that he chose.

The other ministers and generals knew that they had been abandoned and even wanted to force their way into their group.

But they just weren't a match for the cloaked figures at all.

As the king thought that he was free to leave...

"Boom!"
