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.
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!"
