Muir and Arnold on the other hand, went opposite to rescue the citizens.
“……so cruel”
Muir who sees the injured and collapsed citizens all over the place gave a frown. Some among them are little children, and because the houses were made from the hollow of a large tree, some of them were crushed beneath when it was cut down.
There are some who lost his home by being wrapped in flames, and some are suffering from severe burns being caught by the fire.
“How could they do such a thing……?”
They thought that a person creating such tragedy is inscrutable.
“The one who would be able to do this is a madman”
Anger filled Arnold’s face. Grinding his teeth, he moved his eyes towards those who need their help.
Screaming and groaning is heard from here and there. A mother calling for her child, and conversely, another child seeking for her mother’s voice. Pitiful cries flit around the whole place.
“Unforgivable……”
“uncle……”
“And what’s more! According to the rumors, this was done by a beastman! One of our very own kin!”
The bonds of the [Gabranth] are strong. For the beastmen who value these bonds above all, one could never betray a person who was recognized as a friend once.
“Yet this person…… Has he never found a friend in this country at all?”
He only could think of it that way.
“……I don’t get it. No matter what happened, there is absolutely no reason to do these things”
“……that’s right”
“……Good grief, and to think that our long awaited alliance that we had attained in great efforts to be settled with this!”
After the many years of continuous fighting, an alliance was eventually formed between the [Evila] and the [Gabranth]. By the fact that it was formed, there is no mistake that they are near in achieving peace, even if it’s just a single step.
However, this time is an act of betrayal, by one of their comrades, of their very own kin. The joy that they have got in the forming of their alliance was totally ruined.
“A-anyway, uncle, we need to save them!”
“Ah, Y-yeah!”
The two swept away the anger in their chest, and gave priority of saving lives with great efforts as possible.
