The Foolish Would-Be King

The two warships flew silently over cities and towns of the Nobet Kingdom until finally reaching their destination.

"Sir, we are coming up on the capital of Nobet in twenty minutes."

"Good. Maintain high elevation and hold position when you reach the palace."

"Yes, sir."

Commander Zo turned to his General, "Prepare the soldiers, I want aerial support while our men are on the ground."

"Yes, sir." Everyone started to move as the battle was about to begin.

The capital of Nobet was quiet and calm at night. There were soldiers standing on the walls of the city and in very few places lights could be seen on in homes.

"Sir, I can see there are guards on the wall." Zo's pilot report after at getting closer to the city.

"That means someone took over the palace after the royal family fled, and they have enough soldiers to control the whole city."

"Sir, the men are ready." His General's voice came over the comms.

"Hold positions."
