Early the next morning, Elrence and Jole set off with Oni and Dmitry respectively, heading in the direction of Anatonia. The two dragons quickly climbed above the clouds in the sky, and at this altitude there were few patrolling floating ships, so the chances of being spotted by the enemy were low.

After all the rest of the journey, in the evening of the same day, the group finally reached a remote location on the west coast of the Anatonian continent. Elrens and Jole landed here and turned back into human form, but luckily no enemy patrols were spotted in the process.

After a few people made sure it was safe and looked around, Elrens found that it was a long reef beach, and the afterglow of the setting sun before dark reflected a clear blue color on the sea, and the waves crashed against the various odd shapes of the reef in the high tide, making a rattling sound. Looking ahead, the beach is surrounded by grassy plains, followed by desert hills, with bare rocky hills blocking the view from behind.

"Where the hell is this, and in which direction shall we go to Troy City?" Elrens asked, frowning, looking at the wilderness.

Dmitry, who had lived in the western part of Anatonaya for many years, was familiar with the situation here, and after thinking about it, he replied: "It seems that this must be a wilderness near the kingdom of Aeolis, and we only need to walk north along the beach, and we will reach the city of Troy probably tomorrow." Lord Elrens, shall we go directly to Troy now?"

Eolis is a small city-state of the Olympian League on the Anatonian continent, with a small size and barren land. There was no good port, so it was rather weak and incomparable to the importance of Troy.

Elrens nodded, "The Anatolian Legion is closely watched. It was difficult to get in touch with the generals inside, let alone the Eastern Floating Fleet under Polybocon. Only the kingdom of Troy is relatively free, and I plan to infiltrate the city of Troy first, find a way to contact King Priam, and then contact the generals of the various troops through him, and when Prian leads the forces of the mermaid kingdom to attack the city of Nicaea, they will attack together at the same time. What do you think of hitting them off guard?"

Several people pondered for a while, this plan is not very good. There was nothing obvious wrong, and at the moment they did not know much about the specifics of the Trojan and Anatolian legions, so they could only follow this plan and walk on foot.

In order not to attract attention, Elrence and Jole did not change back into dragon form this time. So they set out again along the coastline. Keep walking in the direction of the city of Troy

After a while. The sun had completely set, and the earth slowly turned dark, leaving only the faint light of the stars and moon in the sky barely illuminating the foreground. As the crowd walked, Elrence and Jole's faces changed, and they stopped at the same time, raised their heads and looked forward.

"What's the matter, what's going on?" Oni immediately asked curiously.

"There's a burnt smell and a thick smell of blood up ahead, and screams!" Elrens replied with a deep frown.

"That'...... What should we do?" asked Lori, a little nervous and a little excited. Ever since she figured out how to manipulate Minos to protect the Colossus. She hasn't had a chance to actually fight yet, if danger arises. Oni couldn't help but get excited.

Elrens glanced at Jole and Dmitry, and quickly decided, "Let's sneak over and see what the hell is going on." ”

Jole and Dmitry nodded, and the group slowed down, bent over the reef as cover, and continued on. The more they walked forward, the stronger the smell of burnt and blood, and the screams became clearer, and even Oni could hear them clearly. In this silent wilderness night, it was as terrible as a ghost cry, which made little Lori's face turn pale, and she lost the excitement just now. She hurriedly hugged Elrens's strong and powerful arm in her arms, and then she felt a lot more settled.

Soon, the crowd approached the spot where the screams were made. It appears to be a small fishing village, with a dozen or so dilapidated wooden houses built in a haphazard mix among sparse grass and trees. Next to the wooden house were a number of old boats that had been turned over, the bottom of which was full of parasites, and more than a dozen fishing nets, which were blown by the sea breeze.

Hiding behind a reef, Elrens took a closer look, only to see that the village was in flames, and several wooden houses had been burned to the ground. There were many corpses with their heads cut off all around, apparently young men from the village. Next to the corpse, a group of soldiers and bandits looked like they were partying around a large bonfire, some drinking and chatting, some holding weapons and guarding, and some of them grabbed the young women of the village, stripped them naked and brutally abused them.

The elderly and children, who were not killed for the time being, were forced to kneel beside them and watch with their own eyes what happened to their daughters, sisters and mothers. All kinds of screams, laughter, crying, and angry scolding mingled together, and under the light of the dancing fire, it was like hell on earth!

This is a common incident of indiscriminate soldiers abusing and killing civilians during wars, but Oni has never seen such a cruel reality, she is both blushing and angry, and she can't help but lower her little head and clench her hands tightly.

After looking at it for a while, Ellens found that there was nothing special, so he turned to the other three and said, "It's just a rebellion, this matter has nothing to do with us, there's no need to make a fuss, let's go." ”

Both Jole and Dmitry nodded, and the three of them were about to quietly walk aside, but Oni suddenly said, "Elrens, how can we leave like this?

The evil dragon was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Something like this happens everywhere every day, and the war is so cruel, where can I manage it? If you want to blame them, blame their fate!"

"No!" Little Lori said resolutely: "I don't care what happens elsewhere." But it's right in front of my eyes, I can't pretend I didn't see it, I must save them!"
