Chapter 191: The Empty City
"I'm sorry, I know you're looking out for me, but I have a reason why I have to go, or I'll send you to your cousin first, right?" Ares said no longer joking. m.
"Okay, okay, got it! Isn't it just the battle heart? I'll just go, just a few weirdos, and you're not afraid of what I have to be afraid of. Don't keep threatening me with me away, do you know it's really annoying. Vivien turned around and said, a little bored.
"That,I don't mean that... I'm just afraid that if I do meet those guys, there's a good chance that I won't be able to protect you. That's why ... Hearing Vivien say this, Ares quickly explained.
"Alright, needless to say, let's hurry up. Let's hurry up and try to get through the Heart of War before it gets dark. Vivien seemed to be really angry, and after coldly dropping the sentence, she rode away on the pink piggy.
Ares knew that he was wrong, touched his nose, and smiled awkwardly. summoned Yin Fat and chased after him.
"Second brother, can you not go!" In a small town within the Battleheart Territory, a woman with long chestnut hair pulled the arm of the man in front of her and pleaded in a low voice.
"Elier, do you still remember what the second brother told you before?" the man smiled slightly, reached out and touched the woman's head.
"Well, I remember it very well, I remember it all the time. The woman said a little choked.
"Don't do that, silly girl. Don't worry, the second brother will survive. The man said softly.
"But the second brother, even if he can survive. But what is the difference between being like that, completely losing one's will, and being at the mercy of others, and dying?" said Elier.
"Well, no matter what, there is hope in life. The eldest brother and the old man don't know what the situation is now. The hopes of the Atley family are all in us now, so no matter what happens, we must find a way to persevere. The man said with a light sigh.
"But second brother, you can't leave me alone, I really can't bear that alone. Eliel said.
"What are you talking about? You're a member of House Atley, daughter of Quinn Atley. On this continent, there is nothing you can't afford. Do you understand?" said the man, leaning down and putting his hands on Eli's shoulders.
"I don't understand!" Eli suddenly slapped the man's hand away with some excitement and said, "I really don't understand, why did it become like this? Why can't we live a good life as a family, why do we have to provoke that Prince Aijin? The position of the president of the general council is really so important to you and the eldest brother?"
"Silly girl, you don't understand... The man was about to explain, but was interrupted by shouting from outside.
"Claes, are you alright? The conscription team is about to leave town, please hurry up. Outside the two gates of the brother and sister, a group of black-armored guards stopped there, and one of the captain-like guards in the lead walked to the door and shouted loudly.
"I have to go, Eli. When the conscription team leaves, you can find a way to get out of here. Now those guys will pretend to be a normal conscription in order to maintain the stability of the territory. But in their crazy way, conscription alone will not last long to meet their needs. When the time comes, they may do something crazy. Even if I apply this time, I can only keep you safe for the time being. So Eli, leave me alone, after I leave, you must get out of here, leave the Battle Heart, as long as you are alive, we have hope. Hearing the shouts outside, Claes looked at Eli and told him earnestly.
"Second brother, don't go, I beg you! You can escape with me, I believe we will be able to escape." Eliel grabbed Claes' hand tightly and said in a panic.
"It's too late, Eliel. Claes smiled and broke free of Elier's grasp.
"Claes, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!" the captain outside the door seemed to be a little impatient, urging impatiently. And the group of guards behind him began to slowly disperse, as if trying to surround the house.
"I'm sorry, my sister is still young, and I'm a little worried, so I've been delayed for some time, so please forgive me. Just as the other party was about to make a move, Claes opened the door and walked out.
"Brother is polite, everyone is their own people, this kind of thing is understandable. And you don't have to worry too much, we should win this war soon, and then you can go home. Seeing Claes come out, the captain said with a smile.
"Really, that's great!" Claes replied with a smile and followed them away.
After walking in silence for a long time, Vivien and Ares finally saw their first town after entering the Battle Heart.
"It looks like something really is going wrong with the Battleheart Collar. Vivien frowned as she looked at the town not far away, and said her first words as she entered the Battle Heart.
"Have you been here before, is there anything unusual?" asked Ares, who had followed.
"Haven't been here, but the anomaly is already obvious. Vivien pointed to the empty plaza in front of her and said coldly. It doesn't seem to have deflated.
"Could it be that people are at home during the war?" asked Ares.
"How is it possible, even in wartime, it is impossible to stop the enthusiasm of the Tancente for duels. There must be a big problem with the Battle Heart Leader, at least there is a big problem in this town, otherwise there will definitely be no empty people in the square outside the city gate. Vivien gave Ares a blank look and explained.
"Shall we go into the city and have a look?" asked Ares cautiously.
"Hmph, of course you have to go in and see, it's all here, what else is there to be afraid of. Vivien glared at Ares and ignored him. Drive the pink pig and walk towards the town.
Seeing this, Ares shook his head with a wry smile and followed.
But it didn't take long for the two of them to walk out of the other side of town.
"What the hell are these Advent bastards doing here?" Vivien said through gritted teeth after coming out of the city. It turned out that the town was not only empty in the square at the city gate, but the whole town was empty. After entering the town, Vivien directly used wind magic to search, but finally put away the magic with a gloomy expression. In the whole city, there was not a single living thing that breathed of it. All that was left was a mess of houses on both sides of the road, silently telling of what had happened in the town.
