Chapter 672 (2/2)
”Are you all frodom of Wolfheart?” she asked ”Amy told me that you've known each other for quite a while”
Annie nodded ”You're correct, although eren't born in the same city”
”Wolfheart is now taken by the church You've certainly suffered a lot on the way to the Kingdo pants She asked in a low voice, ”Did she lose her feet during her escape from the church?”
Hero bit her lip bitterly, head lowered
”They were chopped off by the people she aimed to protect” Annie's answer surprised everyone ”Hero stood out when Wolfheart City encountered the biggest crisis in the history of tiot was hatred from its people”
”Hurt by the people she protected?”
Annie nodded ”I can explain to you if you want to know But it isn't a happy story”
No 76 gazed at Hero for a moment and replied in a serious tone, ”I want to know”
Yorko pricked up his ears, though he pretended to be fully absorbed in the bacon he was eating
”When the church are nuue into the city, in an atte's city, just like what they did at Broken Tooth Castle,” Annie added two litters of sparks ”But Hero stopped the de with her ability She could transfer the disease to other living creatures That hy the plague got under control”
”What kind of living creatures?”
”Rats, cats, dogs, cows, sheep, etc also including hue hole at the sluather there and ask Hero to transfer their disease to animals They would then burn the animals in the hole Gradually, people started to view Hero as the lifesaver of Wolfheart City and began to call her Hero As turned for the worse A large anih to bear the disease fros could only bear one or two As the church continued to spread the deue, even if people of Wolfheart could catch all living creatures, it would not be enough for all patients They just couldn't save everyone”
”As the war prolonged, people started to lay their eyes on men”
The word made Yorko feel chilled to the bone
No 76 drew close to Hero and gently pressed the witch to her bosoht, Annie's face was masked with ice ”Of course it wasn't her fault Those people never gave her a chance to choose fro First, they burned prisoners, criminals and volunteers Then they started to burn the elders, wounded soldiers, and captives froement Army”
”But Hero didn't do what these crazy men asked her to She just couldn't kill innocent people, especially those soldiers who yearned for life and minors who had yielded So, the attitude of the public toward her changed People started to believe that she colluded with the church and were protecting their enemies The saver had thus become a traitor Hero was later imprisoned If it were not because of her ability, she had probably been sent to the gallows long before”
”Afterward, the church launched another attack It only took the's city On the day the city fell, the jailer, who had once been treated by Hero, chopped her legs off with an ax and then set the cell ablaze He argued that the fall of the Kingdom of Wolfheart was the result of the collusion between Hero and the church He said as a traitor, Hero couldn't go anywhere but should be burned and destroyed together with the city”
At these words, Annie fell into a short silence ”But the jailer never anticipated that Hero, who lost the ability to ement Army in the cell”
