Chapter 778 How the mighty have fallen

When we arrived back in Vayne City, it had completely changed.

The guards that were at the gate had been changed to a group that I was familiar with.

It was a group that I didn't expect to see so soon, but here they were.

It was General Killock and his men.

I knew that the fourth prince had moved his people to take control of Vayne City during this time, but I never thought that he would move an entire army. But I quickly found out that it wasn't the army that had been moved in.

It was just a small group composed of General Killock and his men that had come to take Vayne City.

As for how they had done it with so few people...it was because they were wyvern riders.

As General Killock was one of the few that had followed me during the war and one of the trusted aides of the fourth prince, naturally he was high up on the list of people that would be chosen as wyvern riders.

He and his men were among the first batch that had been sent to me...or at least they would have been in the first batch if it wasn't for the fact that we were still at war during that time. The names of General Killock and his men were among those that would have been the first batch, if not for the fact that he was busy with the war.

But after the war, they had come right away to claim their wyverns.

All of them were men of war and had excellent skills, so it didn't take long for them to become wyvern riders.

Of course, it wasn't just wyvern riders along that would be enough to take a city.

To prepare for this, the fourth prince had already snuck many people into Vayne City under the nose of the Yuletide Family. They had been waiting the whole time for this day where they would have the chance to act.

When they acted, Vayne City stood no chance.

They had infiltrated into the guards of the city, near those in important positions, and many other key positions.

So the moment that General Killock and his men showed up on their wyverns, Vayne City almost immediately surrendered.

There were one or two leaders in the guards that were loyal to Duke Yuletide and the Yuletide Family, but they were quickly taken care of. The spies that the fourth prince had snuck into the city weren't just spies, but also those that could take care of business secretly when needed.

So those that were loyal to Duke Yuletide and the Yuletide Family were immediately taken out before they had a chance to cause a commotion.

With that, Vayne City immediately fell to the fourth prince's men.

As we came in, General Killock greeted us with a wide smile on his face, but that surprised me. After all, he shouldn't have known about our ruse in the first place and should have thought that I was still a prisoner.

But to my further surprise, he said, "I knew that it was all a trick. I knew that his highness wouldn't miss how valuable you are and do something that burns the bridge after crossing like this."

It seemed that General Killock had a good intuition and a deep loyalty to the fourth prince, but one thing that surprised me was his trust in me.

At the very least, it seemed like I had made a good impression on him during our time together in the war.

I thought that he would be terrified of me after everything that happened, but that didn't seem to be the case.

After the greetings were over, we brought Duke Yuletide in.

When General Killock saw him, he immediately spat at him before saying, "It seems like the mighty have fallen."

Duke Yuletide narrowed his eyes to look at General Killock before looking around the area.

With the way that he was looking around, it was almost as if he was looking for any signs of his people in the city. However, he found that there wasn't a single person that he recognized in this place.

It seemed like his city had been entirely taken from him and there was nothing that he could do about it.

He took one look at the wyverns and gave a sigh.

That was just the power that wyverns had, even a powerful gated city like this couldn't do anything in the face of these wyverns. Though he was a bit surprised that there wasn't more destruction in the city.

He had expected far more destruction that there actually was.

General Killock glared at Duke Yuletide a bit longer before turning to the fourth prince to ask, "Your highness, what should we do about him?"

The fourth prince didn't answer as he waved his hand at one of the spies that he had sent into Vayne City. When they came over, he asked them, "Has that been prepared?"

The spy replied with a nod, "It's all been set up and it's ready to use at any time."

The fourth prince said with a satisfied nod, "Very good. Go and gather the people, come tell me when everything has been gathered."

The spy nodded before heading off.

After that, the fourth prince went over to Duke Yuletide and simply asked, "Give us the information that you have on the Snake Syndicate and I'll go easy on you."

Duke Yuletide was surprised to be asked this.

It was clear that he didn't expect to be asked this, but he quickly revealed a smile as if he had gained some kind of handle on the fourth prince.

"Do you think that I'll really tell you? But if you want to know, then you'll have to offer…"

Before Duke Yuletide could finish what he was going to say, the fourth prince said, "Well, I tried to offer you the easy way out. You can't blame me for what happens next."

Without caring for Duke Yuletide's reaction, he calmly walked away.
