The war-torn place on this planet is the Middle East.

The civil strife in Kandak lasted for several years, and when someone took control of the country and put the chaos to an end, it fought with neighboring Kowick.

The war has been going on for a year.

Like a quagmire, the two countries are deeply trapped in it, constantly seesawing, and it is difficult to break free.

The streets of the capital city of Kandak.

Residents who seem to have sunken eyes and tired faces due to long-term life under high pressure come and go, and soldiers with guns can be seen patrolling the streets from time to time, and the oppressive atmosphere fills the streets and alleys.

David and Diana strolled down the street, somewhat striking.

Putting aside the outstanding appearance and temperament of the two, the relaxed and natural atmosphere of the two is almost incompatible with this war-torn country and stands out from the crowd.

In addition, Diana is dressed as an ancient female warrior, walking in the middle of the city, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

"Now that's what the clothes are out of here?"

Almost everyone looked back at her, and Diana, who was full of strong and confident in her heart, was heroic, and there was no trace of discomfort on her face, but she felt that modern people were dressed strangely.

"Won't they be uncomfortable?"

Compared with the ancient Greek style in Diana's cognition, it is not at all loose and natural, the sleeves are worn to the legs, and the collar is tightly pressed against the neck, which looks uncomfortable.

"Goats look weird at donkeys, and donkeys look at goats the same."

David said lightly.

The city of Kandake is relatively backward compared to some modern cities, but it can also be said that it has maintained a considerable part of the original flavor and ancient ruins.

Stone-clad buildings can be found everywhere.

If it was a real steel jungle, Diana would probably be even more awkward.

"Is Ares in this country?"

Diana could hear that David was thinking she was struggling with unnecessary questions, and turned to get down to business.

After leaving Paradise Island, David took her across the ocean and came straight to the country as if he had a precise goal.

"Not necessarily, but it could be big."

David told the truth.

The two of them walked through the city to the base outside the city.

He didn't read a lot of comics, but he knew a little bit about Ares's methods.

"The eldest son of the Heavenly Father likes to raise one weak country and a strong country to fight in the ring, or to raise two weak countries, to manipulate the situation like a card game, and to disregard countless human lives for nothing."

Let the two sides remain equal for a long time and fall into an endless war, so as to meet the purpose of drawing strength in the war for a long time.

"If he's not here, he's in neighboring Cowick.

Within a year, the country quickly ended civil strife, and a small warlord emerged to take control of the country. ”

"Another country has gone from being poor and backward to inexplicably having a large amount of financial support, buying arms as if it were not for money, and its war strength has skyrocketed."

Two countries that have only had some small border frictions have been at war so far, today I will occupy a place for you, tomorrow you will capture a city of mine, and the cycle will repeat.

Everything sounds like child's play, except that at the price, hundreds of thousands of troops have died so far.

"There's a big, invisible hand behind the scenes that manipulates everything."

Knowing the changes in the two countries in a short period of time from David's mouth, Diana was skeptical.

"You're not stupid."

David nodded.

He had long paid attention to the news of these two countries, because of the familiar name of Kandak - Black Adam's hometown, but he didn't pay much attention to it before.

When it comes to Ares, who likes to provoke wars, these two countries come to mind.

"Mother was right, Ares was cruel and murderous, and he loved to hear the bitter wails of war, and he took the chaos and war wherever he went."

Diana looked hateful and unconsciously clenched her fists.

Since her mother said that Zeus left the godslayer behind and let the most powerful female warrior of the Amazon clan kill Ares, she must have lived up to the sword she carried.

"The evil god of war should be ended!"

David glanced at the Vulcan Sword behind Diana.

The artifact is extremely sharp, but it seems that when she encountered Ares in the movie, Diana stabbed her with her sword, but the body of the sword was condensed like ashes and was crushed by Ares at the touch of a button.

"Even the Amazons' own divine shields shouldn't be so fragile."

I don't know how Ares did it.

"What is this?"

At the center of Kandak's capital was the ruins of an ancient royal palace, so Ismail had placed his junta's seat outside the city and was about to leave the city.

An ice cream truck that aroused Diana's curiosity.

She saw the children living in this war-torn country buy a colorful thing on the side of the street that exudes cool air, and after taking a bite, they actually showed happy smiles.

"Ice cream."

David shook his head, sure enough, he was a man who had been isolated from the world for thousands of years, and he didn't have a little common sense about modern times.

"Two ice creams."

He pulled out a bill and bought two of them.

One vanilla, one chocolate, handy to Diana.

"It's so sweet."

The daughter of Zeus, the princess of the Amazon family, Diana, dressed as a goddess of war, ate one by one.

"How can something so delicious?"

She tasted this, tasted that, her eyes lit up, she looked at the ice cream stall owner, coughed her throat, and really appreciated the chef from the folk like a princess, solemnly emphasized.

"You can be proud of that."

Such a delicious thing is enough even if you apply for a job as a chef in the palace, and I believe that even if the king eats such a delicious thing every day, he will be very happy.

"Thank you, ma'am."

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, took off his straw hat and said.

He had only heard someone praise him for selling cheap ice cream, but it was the first time he had heard him praise him for the deliciousness of his ice cream in the tone of a queen's decoration.

David looked at Diana, who was walking out of the city with a sword and shield on her back and enjoying two ice creams, with a strange expression.

Wonder Woman's love of ice cream is true.

Even if you don't know what it is, you can be attracted to it at the first time.

……

If you want to know where Ares is, you need to see his expansion first.

"Stop, don't move!"

Outside the heavily guarded military base, Ismail's New Internationalist Front fighters raised their black muzzles from afar, aimed at the two Davids who walked here, and stopped them.

They looked at the two of them with wary expressions.

"You dare to approach here, don't you see the warning sign ahead?"

A man and a goddess are relaxed, just like traveling, and they are indeed not native in terms of physiognomy and characteristics.

"I suspect you're spies, come with us."

Approaching the military base of another country rashly, even if it is not reasonable for any country, a team of front soldiers will escort two people, and two of them look at Diana with lustful eyes.

"I don't like the way you look at you!"

David was about to raise his hand to send the men to Anubis.

Just after eating the delicious ice cream, Diana, who was in a good mood, turned angry, and waved the lasso of the mantra, whipping a team of fighters in front of her.

"Attack, there is an attack, sound the alarm!"

In the courtyard of the pillbox built on the mountain, a group of front soldiers had already noticed the movement at the door, and when they saw that their people were inexplicably beaten away, they quickly shot at them.

Bang Bang Bang!

Diana moved quickly and pulled out the divine power shield behind her to block the front, and all the bullets that came were bounced off.

David stood behind her, and was actually protected, and not a single annoying bullet flew.

"Hit her in the leg."

In just a few seconds, a torrent of metal formed by hundreds of bullets slanted out, all hitting the shield, and the officer lifted his military hat and shouted angrily at the men armed with submachine guns.

"You idiots, this isn't training, are you using her shield as a target!"

As he spoke, the officer aimed at Diana's legs, which were not covered by a shield, and frantically pulled the trigger.

But for some reason, all the bullets were dragged to the shield and flew onto the shield, and he was dumbfounded.

"God, what's going on?"
