371 Battle! Port City of Veneth 3 (2/2)

”Oh, you know?”

Benjamin was surprised that Godric recognized the liquor.

”It's the lowest grade, but it's still authentic. My chief at HQ gave it to me when I volunteered for this.”

”Whoa. That's a good chief you got there.”

”Yeah. He didn't really like the idea of giving this up, but he couldn't find any other volunteer, so...”

They took a sip of the liquor and got up.

”Good. Let's go then, shall we?”

The two of them began to walk through the bushes for quite a long time. Soon, there was no longer any sign of battle nearby and Godric lowered his body. At the end of the forest, they saw it.

”WHA-!”

”Sshhhh! Quiet!”

”T-those bastards!”

There were enemy soldiers moving something. Benjamin realized what was being moved and quickly took pictures with his camera. The objects were iron cages with kids of various races being moved over to the other side of the grey Gate.

”Daddy!”

”Mom!!”

”I want to live! Please!”

”Don't cry, Fia. The Emperor will save us soon.”

”He will rescue us. We have to wait for him!”

They were being kidnapped by the alien species but they were bravely holding out against their fears.

'What is up with this idiot? This isn't funny at all!'

Benjamin glared at Godric.

”They are taking our kids after destroying their towns. You never heard of them doing this, did you?'

Benjamin then came to his senses from rage.

”Look. They are all kids. And being taken care of too.”

It seemed the enemy wasn't roughly handling these children. They were given food and water and also had facilities for taking care of their waste. It even seemed like they were protecting these children.
