Sword Sorcery - Chapter 38

[Chapter 38 Weird]

An Geli, who had been sitting beside her in silence, finally couldn’t help but complain: “Aaron, it’s not because of your poor protection that my father was injured so badly… ”

“Shut up~! Mr. Aaron is not my subordinate, how can you say such a thing!”

Viscount Steve’s face changed greatly, and he hurriedly reprimanded: “Angoli, go back to your carriage for me! After dinner, ask the maid to send it to you, and don’t appear in front of Mr. Aaron again! ”

An Geli was stunned, her cherry lips pursed very hard, and then she turned around and hurried away without looking back. It seemed that she had a lot of resentment in her heart, and she might have secretly hated Aaron.

“I’m really making you laugh, it’s me who disciplined my daughter poorly…” Viscount Steve said apologetically to Aaron: “All this is because I spoiled her before, and I want to come to her There is no ill will towards Mr. Aaron, I hope you don’t mind it.”

It seems that Viscount Steve seemed to be a little too ‘severe’ towards Angeli’s words just now.

However, Aaron knew that Viscount Steve was protecting his only daughter after all, otherwise he would not let Angelie eat in the carriage in the future – it seemed to punish Angelique, but it was actually reducing her Possibility of conflict with Aaron.

However, Aaron is not an honest and good person who has been bullied by others for many times, but can still laugh it off. On the contrary, Aaron can be regarded as a ‘bad person’ in some respects, and Angelica’s many words Wanton has already stepped on Aaron’s bottom line, let’s see for the sake of Viscount Steve’s apology—

“Let’s let her go for a while, but there will be no next time.”

Aaron made a decision secretly, but on the surface he still responded calmly: “It’s okay, I won’t care too much with a little girl, if there is no next time.”

Viscount Steve felt a chill in his heart, but he could hear Aaron’s subtext – ‘If there is another time, it will not be so simple.

‘

To this, Viscount Steve could only respond: “Don’t worry, I will take good care of the little girl.”

After dinner (more appropriately called ‘supper’), everyone went to sleep.

For the safety of the carriage team, several soldiers took turns to watch the night. Until dawn, the huge carriage team set off again and began to drive in the direction of the Finnish Empire……

…………

half an hour later

Aaron, who was sleeping in the carriage, was suddenly awakened by Viscount Steve: “No, Aaron, the soldier I sent to investigate just now came back and reported…”

“There seems to be something very strange happening over at Viscount Cooper’s castle!”

Aaron was woken up all of a sudden, he rubbed his forehead forcefully, and asked back in confusion, “A very strange thing?”

“Yes, quite a strange thing…” Viscount Steve stood at the door of the carriage, as if he didn’t know how to describe what happened at Cooper Castle, so he simply said: “Forget it, the specific situation I can’t tell you either, you go to see it with me and you’ll know what’s going on.”

Speaking, Viscount Steve dragged Aaron directly, and the two came to the outside of the carriage together, standing on the wooden planks of the carriage, looking forward, and at this time the entire carriage team had approached Viscount Cooper’s castle. , but the creepy thing is—

On the flat ground around Cooper Castle, there are a large number of traces of military camps remaining. Animal skin tents are scattered on the flat ground, and iron shields and spears used by soldiers are randomly scattered. Discarded on the ground, it is like a piece of waste that has been abandoned by others. There are still some places in the middle of the bonfire that has not been extinguished, as if it is maintaining the final temperature.

Burn with all your might.

Among them, some bonfires with unstable bases were directly knocked down by the strong wind and crashed on the animal skin tent next to them. The uncontrolled flames engulfed the animal skin tent and burned the gray smoke column that rushed to the sky. , forming a strange scene of absurdity and tragic mix-

There was not a single soldier in the entire battlefield!

No…. it should be said that there is no life!

Not even a living army horse was missing!

!

!

It was as if everyone had played hide-and-seek overnight and completely disappeared without a trace. Whether it was people, animals, or anything else alive, they all disappeared without a trace!

What Aaron and Viscount Steve saw was such a deadly cemetery-like battlefield!

“This…what’s the matter?!”

Aaron could hardly believe his eyes. Could it be that these soldiers disappeared because they broke the castle?

It stands to reason that they should enter Cooper Castle and enjoy it, and use the entire Cooper Castle as the base for the next invasion of the army.

But……..

Aaron looked at Cooper Castle, but saw that the entire castle seemed to be integrated with the cemetery battlefield outside. There was not a trace of human beings on the blue-black city walls around the castle, and even the city gate below was wide open. Aaron carefully. Looking into the city gate, I found that there was still no sign of living beings in the interior. It seemed that all living creatures were collectively evaporated from the world in an instant.

The entire castle is filled with a desolate, deadly, depressing atmosphere, which makes people feel a chill in their hearts. …

Seeing this scene, Aaron couldn’t help but ask Viscount Steve: “What happened? Where did the combined army from the Karas Empire go? Did they all go to hell?!”

“I also want to know what happened!” Viscount Steve was also completely at a loss. He grabbed his hair and said inexplicably, “If the coalition forces outside won, the castle wouldn’t be. It should look like this, if Viscount Cooper and the others won, the castle shouldn’t look like this is completely empty!”

“Did they make an appointment to play hide and seek together?! It’s ridiculous!!!”

The more Viscount Steve said, the more incredible he felt, and he almost ripped his hair flying.

Aaron pondered for a while and decided to propose: “Let’s go and have a look. With the strength of our two official knights, even if there is any accident, we can escape in time.”

Viscount Steve pondered for a while, nodded in agreement and said, “Okay, let’s take a look together.”

However, for the sake of safety, Viscount Steve brought four loyal soldiers and subordinates, leaving the other eight soldiers to look after the carriage team. He and Aaron stepped on the fast horse for riding,

Angoli was disturbed to sleep by some movement, so she got out of the carriage and learned that Viscount Steve and Aaron were going to visit Viscount Cooper’s castle. She immediately stared at Aaron with fierce eyes, as if I wish Aaron died in the castle.

Of course Aaron felt An Geli’s unkind gaze, and his brows furrowed fiercely. A trace of impatience and evil thoughts flashed in his heart, as if the backlog of negative emotions could be completely ignited with just one fire — Aaron has always He is not a good person who repays grievances with virtue, but repaying grievances with revenge is his life criterion.

However, Aaron did not attack immediately, but calmly greeted Viscount Steve. The two led four soldiers, a total of six people riding fast horses to the dead Cooper Castle.
