Chapter 207 - EVEN IF IT SEEMS LIKE THE END I (1/2)
POLAND
KRAKOW
The thunder strikes a tree and it burns before it turns instantly into dust. The raging wind blows and the ashes was carried into the storms.
And the skies bring down rain.
BOOOM!!
The thunder shakes the skies and parted the clouds. The rain falls down faster.
It falls with great intensity, falling and mixing with the soil creating a muddy path on the forest, increasing the cold in the area and flow into the river.
The hunter and mercenaries on the hilly area of the forest shelter themselves under tall trees or behind boulders.
The leader of the expedition frowned and his forehead was sweating with cold sweat. He felt something is wrong about this weather…but he dares not say it openly lest he fears his squad member overcome with fear.
He activated his Nine Openings opening the energy inside his body to overcome the pressure.
His expedition member this time consist of his own squad members and hired hunters and mercenaries trembles in fear.
Was it the rain they fear?
No.
It is the thunder.
Thunderous lightning resonated on the sky and lightning criss crossed the clouds creating the illusion that the clouds are fighting against each other.
These hunters and mercenaries in this forest they called the Forest of Twirling Path knows that these kind of phenomena is not normal.
When they set in the evening to catch the Giant Serpent that terrorizes a small village nearby the weather was clear, and there is no indication whatsoever that tonight they would be beset by storm.
Yes, a storm.
A storm of thunderous lightning and tempestuous wind.
But the reason why they were so sure that these weather is not a natural occurrence is because of what they are seeing and feeling right now.
The thunder hold certain power that their Orbs is shaking and rotating as fast as they can to expel the pressure of this thunder.
Some even believes this thunder is the Tribulation Thunder. The wind on the other hand swept even the body of their most expert warrior in the Energy Disperse Stage.
The felt like their skin is slowly being shredded each time they tries to overcome these winds.
It was only after their expedition leader ordered to shelter themselves that they hides beneath trees, and behind boulders with anxious heart and solemn expression.
Then suddenly like a dream, the thunder stopped, the lightning disappeared and the winds dissipated.
With a gust of pleasant wind, the world was calm again.
The hunter and mercenaries look at each other with puzzlement. The leader on the other hand look at the night skies and only see the clear starry skies.
The leader of this expedition is a rugged man. His body is big with broad shoulders and he look fat but that is just the fur clothing.
His body is full of muscle. He has thick beard and a neatly trimmed moustache.
They are the League of Freedom expedition diplomatic team to Poland. Leading them is a man named Hamad.
The man sighed as many things happens that delay their expedition. The world was not as safe as before anyway.
The Weronian War has ended but the monsters are starting to awaken all over the world. And Hamad could also sense that the cold war between the World Government and the Republic will erupt.
It's the reason why he is dispatched here. Poland is ruled by King Artur Nowak, a King crowned by President Hirate.
By now, Hirate no longer look like a President but like an Emperor. Some people called him the Supreme Ruler of the World Government behind his back
And his task?
To persuade the revolutionaries here inside Poland to rebel.
Under the leadership of King Artur Nowak, the people suffers as his band of nobles uses their support from the WG to hoard items, and oppress people.
Poland, unfortunately did not have any notable expert other than Rafał Kowalski who was executed after fighting a three days battle with the soldiers of Artur when he tries to defend a village from the Royal Authority.
Many of the women there were forced to comfort the visiting soldiers of King Artur after finishing their skirmishes with the Republic forces.
It was when the Republic was still called the Revolutionary Army. Chancellor Jean order to bring Poland back under the fold of the Revolutionary Army.
