Chapter 1005: Dots in the sky (7)
"Captain, what is happening down there? Why are the citizens suddenly rising up like this?" One of the wyvern riders asked Erina as they all watched what was happening down below.
Erina was the one that was in charge of this group of wyvern riders that had come to settle the Beirut Kingdom.
After watching in silence for a bit, Erina just shook her head to show that she didn't know what was happening either.
Even though they already knew from the briefing that the Beirut Kingdom was filled with corruption, they didn't think that it was bad enough that the citizens would suddenly rise up like this.
Not to mention, it was at an extent that was far beyond a normal uprising.
It was at the level where almost every citizen that could fight in the country was rising up against the ruling class.
This didn't seem like a normal level of corruption and resentment that was building up under the surface of the Beirut Kingdom.
Still, that didn't mean that they couldn't use this for themselves.
As long as they channeled the anger that the citizens of the Beirut Kingdom felt in the right manner, then they would be able to use this to their advantage.
Namely when the various nobles tried to put down the rebellion of the citizens, the wyverns would arrive in time to send a blast of flames at the troops of the nobles. It wasn't just a single blast of flame that landed on the troops of the nobles though, there were multiple flame breaths that landed down on the troops of the nobles.
It didn't take long before the troops of the nobles were engulfed in flames.
They just couldn't do a thing against the flames that rained down on them and then they were hit by the armed citizens that charged them.
There was nowhere for them to run and there was no time for them to surrender.
The soldiers of the nobles weren't able to do a single thing as they were completely overwhelmed by the armed citizens.
But as more and more of these rebelling citizens gathered, the troops of the capital couldn't help feeling more and more worried. After all, there seemed to be no end to the number of armed citizens that were gathering.
At this point, they were completely outnumbered by the number of armed citizens that were outside of the gates.
It reached the point where even if they were untrained citizens, they still posed a threat to them since they were fully armed with proper weapons and armour.
If they were to breach the gates, there was no doubt that they would have a hard fight on their hands.
Not to mention that they could still see the wyverns that were circling above.
If they were to try and shoot these armed citizens with bows, they wouldn't be as afraid since they would be able to whittle down the numbers. The problem with that was that the wyverns that were circling around above their heads were completely preventing them from doing this.
If any of them tried to shoot, they would find themselves at the receiving end of an attack from the wyverns.
So there wasn't a single thing that they could do as they watched the armed citizens gather.
"Captain, we should send out a group of cavalry to lead a charge. Cavalry will be able to outmaneuver these civilians and scatter them. At the same time, they will be able to attack from unexpected places as long as they are outside the city." One of the guards suddenly suggested this.
All of the guards looked at the captain as they waited for his response.
Though based on their expressions, it seemed like they wanted to join that group.
That was because being in the group of cavalry that charged outside meant that they wouldn't
be trapped in the city.
When the time came, it would be easier for them to escape if they needed to.
"This..." The captain had just spoken when...
"Boom!"
