467 DEVASTATED CITY (1/2)

”Oh, my God!”

The city before their eyes wasn't like a city anymore.

The smell of something burned could be caught from miles away. Smoke, billowing into the sky as the glimmer of sunlight could be seen over the edge of the horizon, giving some light on the heartbreaking landscape.

It was an utter destruction.

Most part of the district had been completely burned to the ground and some still continued to burn. There was no citizen on the sight, presumably they had escaped from this ruin city.

”What they had done here?” Senja gasped in shock. Something terrible and horrify had happened. This district was utterly out of shape.

No sooner had the words fallen off her lips, Yun grabbed her hand and urged her to run the opposite direction.

Before both of them disappeared from the bloody scene of the entrance gates, Senja caught a glimpse of another bunch of soldiers were coming their way.

They could fight them off again of course, but it wasn't necessary. They had to keep their energy for something more important as both of them run out from the scene.

Yun took them to the stables and released a horse for himself while Senja did the same. Like there was a tacit understanding between them, they started to move toward the same direction.

Riding their horses through this devastated city, gave Senja and Yun the big picture just how horrible this place had turned.

Senja could feel her heart hammering in her chest as she thought about Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun's condition at this moment. They should be in this city, but looking from how the Emperor of Azura's armies swarmed all over the place in this district, made Senja thought about the worst thing that could be possible happened to them.

Her heart was tightening in worry.

”What happened here!?” Senja shouted at Yun to fight the winds as they ran their horse as fast as they could.

Yun shook his head. ”I don't know!” He shouted back. ”But, we will find out.”
