Chapter 111 Leaving the empire 1 (1/2)

Tatiana nodded along while Mars spoke but suddenly stopped and looked over to the edge of the room were Vanessa seemed to be waking up

”ugh my head...”

Mars also turned and looked and suddenly remembered about the rest of his squad and the current situation and turned to Tatiana and asked

”by the way dear elder sister you would not have anything to do with the golems that have run rampart the last couple of months right?”

Tatiana awkwardly averted her eyes and began laughing before she stopped again and bowed her head slightly to Mars

”I made a golem to deal with stuff around the house but I didn't think it was capable of multiplying and waging war...”

at this point Vanessa became clear headed enough that she remembered were she was and got alert as she jumped to her feet and raised her sword towards Tatiana

”Mars get over here we'll take her on together”

Mars gave a sigh and looked at Tatiana with a apologetic look on his face

”sorry elder sister, she doesn't know better”

”Mars what are you talking about!? get over here now!”

Mars gave another sigh and activated [Instant movement] and appeared into front of Vanessa and snatched her sword

”Vanessa sorry but using a sword will not solve this situation”

”...fine, but you better explain exactly what's going on”

Mars pointed to Tatiana that was still sitting in her armchair

”that is my elder sister, she was the one that created the first golem now before you say anything she's very sorry about that and has already deactivated them all right?”

Tatiana gave a quick nod and waved her hand before she spoke

”all my golems have deactivated just now, they will no longer trouble you empire”

”...just like that?”

Mars nodded

”just like that... by the way be careful not to irritate my elder sister, it's not that she has a short temper its just she will annihilate the empire if she gets mad”

”...she has the power to do that?”

”well she created a golem army by mistake so yeah she dose”

Vanessa looked over at Tatiana for a few seconds before she gave a sigh and threw her arms up

”I give up, Mars you handle this”

next Vanessa just sat down on the ground with a exhausted look on her face before she grabbed the back of her head and laid down on the floor and closed her eyes

”...well whatever”

Mars just shrugged his shoulders and walked back and sat down in his armchair and looked at Tatiana that was sulking

”what is it?”

”...you make it sound like I'm some violent person”

”sorry dear elder sister”

”well whatever... more mortals are coming so I will take my leave”

”so soon... will we meet again?”

”as long as you live a long life then sure”

”okay”

Mars watched as Tatiana stood up from her armchair and with a wave of her hand opened a rift in space before she walked into the rift which closed afterwards leaving Mars alone with the rest of the soldiers in the room

”and just like that she's gone huh... captain it's over”

”I have noticed... let's wake up the rest of the people before we do anything else”

”right... I'll go fetch some water”

The incident known as the golem war ended as abruptly as it started, on the 53th day of the war the golems simply fell over and fell apart, this greatly puzzled the 4 generals that was in charge of containment but after another 2 days passed a scout party returned to the southern general and reported in person that the center mining town was cleared of golems and thus victory was declared, the group of draftees from Destra was currently in a sky carriage moving north and after flying for 4 days they left the southern desert of the empire and moved into the more pleasing on the eye great southern plains

”why are we going further north, isn't home the other way..?”

Mars moved his hand down on Lily's head and gently petted her soft fox like ears while he answered her question

”that's because we need to go to an reward ceremony in the empire before we can go home”

Lily slumped over somewhat before she complained

”but I want to go home...”

”yeah me too but we have to endure a little longer”

”okay...”

”still... I quiet look forwards to getting an reward”

”you sound like a dog...”

”oi”

”sorry Mars, you sound like a proud awe inspiring dragon”

”that was better Chloe”

Chloe gave a sigh

”but still I want to go home to the forest too... and away form all the humans”

”...at least you honest with your desires...”

Chloe sat up straight and looked at Lily and Lee before she asked

”have you 2 also noticed something weird about the humans gazes sometimes?”

”weird?”
