"Huh..." Arzlan was a little restless. This was because he was trapped to keep an eye on all the Elves who suddenly became very fanatical about him.
Arzlan sat pensively while gazing at the waterfall. "I guess should I stay here?"
He had been in the forest for two months. A quite significant change occurred to the elves he had helped before.
They began to develop themselves like learning to fight. The woman who Arzlan first met became the teacher of all the Elves to be able to protect their residence from heartless people.
Arzlan is confused, how can he step up if he has already carried a heavy duty.
"Master Arzlan!"
A soft voice called out to Arzlan. When Arzlan turned his head, a woman approached him.
"What are you doing here?" asked the woman.
"I was just contemplating and enjoying the quite beautiful scenery!" Arzlan can't trust anyone. He still clearly remembers the bad feelings that have always haunted him.
"Hmm… I guess you're currently thinking about the goal you've set before!"
Arzlan was stunned because the woman know what he was thinking. "Why do you say something like that?"
"These past few months you've always been brooding and like you're thinking about something! I don't know what you're thinking, but it seems you're quite restless in thinking about it!"
Arzlan was even more surprised to hear her words. "Huh..." With a deep breath out he said, "I think it's true! Right now I have a pretty big goal, and I can't involve other people in that goal! Now I am also obliged to protect the Elves who place such great trust in me!"
The woman could understand why Arzlan was contemplating alone. The burden on his head was so heavy, alone time was the best situation for him to calm down.
"Don't you want to go? Just try to tell them what you currently have to go on a journey to achieve what you are aiming for!"
"I've been thinking about that! So don't worry, I'll definitely do it!" Arzlan didn't want to look like a sentimental man in front of the woman. He still wants to keep what has been stuck in his heart, the goal that has become a spear to keep him up.
***
While Arzlan is in the forest, some big upheaval is going on.
The Scaevola Kingdom has made a move. The territory of the kingdom was so vast that many from other species became their slaves.
Species trade has occurred everywhere, they treat other creatures like animals that have no dignity.
The conflict with the Demon Lord is also ongoing. The Demon Lord is also getting more aggressive in his attacks.
Monsters kept popping up attacking the village. The four heroes who came from another world had taken care of them, but still a large number of monsters couldn't be handled very easily.
Apart from Scaevola, other regions are also experiencing a major conflict with the Demon Lord. Various areas have been controlled by the Demon King, but that creature deliberately did not directly destroy several kingdoms because he wanted to take a hand destroying the kingdom.
He had just heard a report from one of his trusted knights. That, some areas they have conquered.
"Good, this way the heroes will be even more eager to beat me! Come here heroes from another world!" Nova really to meet people who are often legends in erasing all darkness in this world.
Right now the heroes are in quite a tense condition, some areas of the Scaevola Kingdom have been successfully subjugated.
"God damn it!" Aaron grumbled at the information he got. "Why is the Demon Lord still able to control the area of Scavola.
"Your Majesty, should we summon the heroes to clear up this matter?" Vilion suggested.
"That's right! Their job is to help us in solving this problem against the Demon King! Call them to come here!"
All heroes immediately came to the throne room, after getting a summons. It took five days before they could be there.
Aaron looked at the four heroes in a very angry manner.
"Surely you already know what made me call you!" Opening the topic with a fairly high tone.
"Yes! We found out because the eastern region of Scaevola has been overrun by monsters!" Adred replied to Aaron's words.
"If you know that why don't you act immediately?"
"This should all be Amiru's job!" Zuru looked at Amiru.
Not only Zuru, but everyone else stared at the man.
"Me? I tried my best, but these past few days I've been busy in clearing up the monsters in the northern area!"
"What do you mean? Didn't you head south just to meet the captured elves?" Adred immediately refuted Amiru's statement.
"No! In that region several other races trying to fight and the soldiers having a hard time dealing with them!" Amiru defended himself, but his words were ambiguous because they heard that he previously said that in the southern region he was dealing with problems with monsters.
"You're too innocent to say something like that! Are you playing women over there? I heard that in that region has been a massive capture of the Elves and other races!" Zuru did not like the actions of the palace in conquering the territory with the colonial system.
"What do you say! Are you saying that I'm a bastard who didn't do my duty as a Hero?" Amiru had become very angry, his mounted a stance.
"Enough!" Vilion raised his voice to make a loud echo. "Don't you guys realize that you are in front of His Majesty Aaron right now?"
The four heroes fell silent, they felt guilty for their selfish actions. Of course, as a result of this one of them harbored a grudge.
"I already understand! Okay! As heroes in this kingdom, you have to solve the problems that are happening! I want you to head north immediately and take the Scaveola territory that has been overrun by the monsters!" Aaron quickly gave the order, already knowing himself that if the four of them were allowed to continue, they would fight within the palace causing quite a stir.
The heroes lowered their heads except for Amiru then they exited the room.
"I will prove them wrong! I am the strongest hero so no one can say that I am the wrong person!" Amiru very angry came out of the palace. There was no time for him to continue playing like usual.
