"What is happening outside?" The king of the Beirut Kingdom slammed his fist down on the armrest of his throne as he roared out like this.

All of the ministers trembled when they heard this and lowered their heads as if they were afraid of being called on to answer.

But the king of the Beirut Kingdom just wouldn't let them off as he swept his eyes across the ministers and generals gathered in front of him.

Finally, his eyes fell onto one of the older ministers that were here and he said, "Prime minister, explain the situation to me!"

The prime minister gave a gulp before saying, "Your majesty, the people have taken up arms in revolt..."

"I know that!" The king roared out before calming down a bit to say, "Tell me why this is happening!"

The prime minister had a difficult look on his face at first before saying, "It's because of the sudden appearances of those dots in the sky."

"Dots in the sky..." The king slowly said before saying, "Just call them what they are, they are invaders! But you still have to explain why the Kite Kingdom would suddenly invade us at a time like this! Not only did we have a temporary peace treaty, there's also the fact that there's the monster waves happening! Why would they invade!"

The prime minister revealed a bitter look when he heard this.

The king was asking him, but who was he supposed to ask to get the answers to these questions?

He didn't know what was happening either.

Early in the morning, the soldiers at the borders had reported dots in the sky and then in the middle of the morning, there were attacks that happened at the various key military points in their Beirut Kingdom.

All of their troops had been thrown into chaos because of this sudden attack and there was no way that they would be able to regroup their troops that quickly.

The attack was very calculated and had completely knocked out their communication network.

Then to everyone's surprise, the commoners suddenly looted these military installments and armed themselves. Right now, the commoners were even making their way to surround the

capital.

They were currently facing a crisis that they had never faced since the formation of their kingdom.

Not a single person could understand why the commoners would act this way.

That was because...not a single one of them knew just how corrupt each of them were.

In the relief efforts for those that were affected by the monster waves, there were bits of it that were being embezzled at every level. All of them thought that they were smart to only take a little bit from the total, but all those little bits added up.

When the relief supplies finally reached the commoners, it wasn't even a tenth of what the total should have been.

Resentment built up in the lower class until it finally boiled over and exploded in this uprising.

The commoners armed themselves and were prepared to overthrow the upper class that had let them suffer.

The upper class that didn't know that their greed had been the cause of this.

"What can we do to stop them?" The king finally suppressed his rage and calmly asked this question.

Even though he wished that he could rip apart his ministers that had let things degrade to this level, he knew that he couldn't really do that right now. What was more important was using them to find a way to solve the problem that they faced.

If they didn't come up with a problem, it wouldn't be just their positions that they lost.

If they didn't solve this problem, they would even lose their heads.

So instead of being angry, it was better to come up with a solution.

But there were no solutions that the ministers and generals could give.

None of them wanted to take out their trump cards since they were saving them to use to protect themselves.

They were all waiting to use these trump cards when things went wrong and they had to escape the capital. None of them wanted to use them to deal with the commoners that were rising up against the kingdom.

But the pressure was on them to give a solution...

"The minister of interior affairs has a warehouse filled with mercenaries and supplies to the west of the city!" One of the ministers suddenly shouted out.

The minister of interior affairs that had been exposed like this immediately revealed a look of rage when he heard this before saying, "How dare you! The minister of finance is hiding..." With one of them starting to spill on the others, all of them started to spill on each other.

It seemed that all of them wanted the other ministers and generals to act instead of themselves, which meant that they spilled all the previous information that they gathered. The king was in shock when he heard all of this.

After all, he never thought that his subordinates would be hiding this much from him.

He thought that he had a good idea of what his subordinates were doing, but now he realized that he didn't seem to know a single thing about his subordinates. It seemed that they had been hiding themselves much deeper than he thought.

But right now, that didn't matter.

The most important thing right now was figuring out how to deal with those commoners that were rising up against them.

Slamming his fist down on the armrest once more, the king said, "Enough! That's enough arguing now! What's important is dealing with the problem in front of us!"

After saying this, he swept his eyes across the ministers and generals that were in front of him before saying, "Prepare all the troops that you have. If you dare hold back anything, know that my wrath will not be light."

All of the ministers and generals gave a gulp before nodding in agreement.

"Boom!"
