Chapter 1101: Giving control (1)
After the former king and the ministers were taken away, there was a great change that came over the former Antwerp Kingdom.
There was another group that suddenly arrived after the arrival of the first group of wyverns.
This group seemed to be completely different from the group of wyverns.
It was a group that seemed to have a completely different function from the soldiers on the back of the wyverns.
That was because the aura that they gave off was fundamentally different from those wyvern riders. They still had a powerful aura around them, but they didn't have the same aura that those that rode wyverns had.
It seemed that they were here to organize the former Antwerp Kingdom and make it smoothly fall under the Nergiante Dukedom.
So those that had wanted to find a chance to cause a bit of trouble knew that it would be impossible for them to do that. If they were to try anything, there was no doubt that these people would catch them.
During this time, Duke Nergiante was led away by a group of wyvern riders.
It seemed like they had something else to do, so they were leaving the handling of the capital to this group that arrived afterwards.
Duke Nergiante had a serious look on his face when he was being taken away, almost as if he was prepared to face anything. It was almost as if he was some kind of criminal that was being led to an execution with the way that he was brought off.
There were many people that wondered where he was going, but they didn't actually follow.
Though it wasn't as if they could actually follow since that group was heading off on the wyverns.
It wasn't as if normal horses would be able to keep up with wyverns in the first place.
...
Half an hour later, this group of wyverns arrived in a forest.
When they landed, they could smell the blood that was in the area which made them slightly knit their brows.
Duke Nergiante looked like he was the most tense one out of all of them, but that wasn't strange since he wasn't a member of their group in the first place.
It was only normal that he would feel out of place here.
Especially since he could see where the smell of blood was coming from.
It was coming from the corpses that were on the ground.
These were all human corpses that were wearing the armour of the Antwerp Kingdom.
These were the soldiers that had died facing the monsters that had suddenly started attacking.
The corpses that were on the ground were difficult to look at because of the way that they had been treated. Most of the corpses seemed like they had been ripped apart by something with the way that they had been thrown to the side in pieces.
It really was the scene of a terrible slaughter...
But Duke Nergiante didn't have time to properly process all of this as he heard something coming from the distance.
When he turned over, he saw that it was something coming out of the forest.
It wasn't just anything coming out of the forest, it was something that Duke Nergiante immediately recognized since he had faced this kind of creature before.
There were a group of goblins that suddenly appeared out of the forest.
It seemed like they were heading right for them.
While these goblins didn't really pose a threat since they had wyverns, Duke Nergiante found it unnerving how no one did anything as they watched the goblins approach.
With the way that the wyvern riders just stood there, it was almost as if they didn't see the goblins at all.
"Sir Klein, are you really not going to do anything?" Duke Nergiante couldn't help asking.
Klein, who had been the one that declared the declaration to the Antwerp Kingdom, just stood there looking at the goblins coming out of the forest. Eventually, he said, "It's fine, they're on our side."
"Huh?" Duke Nergiante immediately revealed a stunned and confused look when he heard this.
It didn't seem like that would change with the way that he continued looking at Klein like this, but Klein didn't bother explaining anything as he continued looking at the goblins coming out of the forest.
Eventually, there was a bigger goblin that came out from behind this group of goblins.
This wasn't just a goblin, it was a hobgoblin that was much bigger than the other goblins. As soon as this hobgoblin came out, the rest of the goblins stopped moving and turned to face it before falling to one knee as if they were bowing to their king.
Duke Nergiante snapped out of his daze and deeply knitted his brows when he saw this.
He could feel the sense of danger coming from this hobgoblin, so he knew that this thing was anything but normal.
Duke Nergiante turned to Klein again and was about to say something, but Klein just raised his hand to stop him before heading forward with a group of royal guards.
Duke Nergiante was surprised to see this, but he watched them closely as they headed towards this hobgoblin.
Then to his surprise, Klein and the royal guards walked past this hobgoblin to where a smaller figure was coming forward.
Duke Nergiante had actually missed this smaller figure since he had been focused on the hobgoblin, but now he saw that it was a human that was walking behind the hobgoblin.
It wasn't just any human that was there.
It was one that he recognized.
It was a person that he just would never forget since that person had left a deep impression on
him.
That person walked past the hobgoblin who suddenly stopped and fell to one knee behind
that person.
Klein and the others went forward so that they were between that person and the hobgoblin, almost as if they were protecting him.
But that person just ignored all of this as he walked over to Duke Nergiante and asked, "Are
you ready?"
