while the city was being attack, the baron who was owner of the city was getting frustrated.
he never expecting that Julius will fought back and he didn't know what happened to his expedition team.
he couldn't even contact the capital due to interception from the enemies.
as anger boiled him, a man wearing a butler's uniform entered without permission.
"sir! the enemies are entering the city. you must leave now?!"
although the butler was having a panic. the baron couldn't help but gritted his teeth and ask.
"what happened to captain lux?!"
the butler didn't replied but the baron already know the answer but still asking.
"he betrayed us sir."
the baron couldn't help but gritted his teeth in anger and scream in the top of his lungs.
"dammit!?"
the paper from his desk was send flying as he look at his burning city.
"let's escape and bring the other official, we will escape the city."
"yes sir!"
as soon as he got his answer. the baron look again in his precious city and spoke.
"Julius, you will pay for this."
.....
meanwhile, Henrietta look at the other side of the city wall.
the enemies fired their catapult none stop and the wall was starting to crumbling.
she thought that she will finally reach her goal but she never expecting to be drag in a civil war.
right now, she was wearing a iron helmet and a leather armor.
although the soldier glance at her, they couldn't help but pit the young foreigner in front of them.
"you truly unlucky little girl, if this bastards didn't block your road. you might be already in trisna city."
the man named roach was sipping his coffee even in the middle of the battle. Henrietta on the other hand was laying on the ground as she was staring at the gap of the wall as i
she was watching the catapult and ballista.
"I know that old man, but is there any where to go? am too young and beautiful to be killed here?"
as she gave him with puppy eyes, roach only look at her with distain as spoke.
"young? yes but beautiful? nah. my daughter was way beautiful that you."
Henrietta look at him with puppy eyes which roach didn't get affected but he continues.
"there is a way, but am guessing it will be difficult."
"really? where?!"
roach pointed his finger on the enemy's direction as spoke.
"kill them."
Henrietta look at the mad man who thinks everything solve with violence and said.
"are you insane?"
"do I look like am insane? if their is one. we already leave this stupid city instead of facing those bastards."
Henrietta couldn't help but gritted her teeth since he was right.
nobody is stupid enough to fight the thousand army with a little force they have.
as Henrietta was about to speak. one of the soldier scream.
"they entered the city?!"
Henrietta look at the direction where the gate was destroyed. multiple ragged enemies storm the city and attack anyone they met.
Henrietta couldn't help but ask.
"what should we do?"
roach look at her with calm face and said in a low tone.
"simple..... kill them until the last breath."
after giving her replied. the city soldiers fire there arrows outside the city on which Henrietta smiled bitter.
"I never thought I will die again."
as she gave up of escaping. she then took a bow and fired the enemies outside.
although she was terrible in firing arrows. Henrietta continued using the bow but because of wasting too many arrows.
roach became irritated and teach her with a bow.
roach though that it was best to teach the young lass since both of them died here. in just few hours of pulling the bow strings.
she finally hit a enemy, but since the enemy was too many. most of the guards in the city was killed and the enemies successful conquered the city.
....
Julius look at the burning city as it was sitting in the balcony of the city lord.
from the once beautiful city was burned. the army still keep going as they are still wiping the few resistance.
other than that. his army killed and looted every building in the city.
as he sipping the finest wine inside the lord's mansion.
Harold look at the city with anger and solemn face.
"see that Harold, just look at the beautiful atmosphere of the burned city. and soon the kingdom will know how they shouldn't mess with me."
Harold only snorted and spoke.
"you spoke like you are already win, but remember this. the king will soon send his troops and wipe you and your troops in the face of the earth."
"oh? really? will see about that."
as he was sipping the wine. a small explosion was blown the side of the wall. he didn't know what happened but he didn't care.
when he was about to take a another drink, someone enter the room and said in a low tone.
"captain, the our soldier was requested back up."
Julius look at the man with muscular build and ask.
"why would they need a back up?"
"sir, there was a mage that control people, right now. two of them was being controlled and what's worst. everytime they killed or cut it's limbs. the mage use some kind of skill and control the unfortunate soldier of our men."
as Julius was in the middle of processing the information. the woman who wears the Soule academy uniform said in a low tone.
"I'll go."
Julius look at her and ask.
"are you sure? you might be my best mages but the enemy you will face was unknown."
although Julius look concerned, deep down. he didn't care if she lives or die. but she still looks at him and said in a low tone.
"don't worry I'll be find."
"okay suit yourself."
with a permission granted. the woman activate her flying skill and when to Henrietta's direction.
