After we flew for a long time in the air, passing through several destroyed cities and villages, bridges collapsed, and others.. Fort Ethos. With the help of the griffins who made our trip feel short and certainly safe to the destination.
"All right, that's him.. Fort Ethos" Kyouya exclaimed
"Well, it doesn't feel like we've reached this Ethos Fortress back" Kenji said
"So this is yes.. Fort Ethos" said Katsumi
"Yes.this is the Ethos Fortress, my lord, this place was often used as a training ground for elite troops from various places, so no doubt when the forces of hell attacked this Fortress, they were made a mistake even though in the end they were the ones who got the victory" Zang replied
"Hm. but unfortunately, those who are very useful in the field of war must die in this place" said Katsuma.
A few moments later, we went down to immediately perform the investigative tasks assigned to us.
"Everything. hurry down!" kyouya
We went down 5 and arrived at the remains of this Ethos Fortress.
"Look at what they do in a place like this" Kenji said as he walked into the Ethos Fortress.
"I didn't think it was true what they said (assasint Kota Scaro). Here there is no one. only we have 4 and griffin that we bring friends" said Kyouya.
"But strange..Where are all the bodies of the dead in this place? no 1 single one looks like me" asked Minori
"me too.. Me too." replied Kyouya and Kenji
"Zang.do you know anything about something like this, so you should be able to know what really happened in this place.it's because of your ability as a very honorable saint animal" katsumi told Zang through telepathy (the way they communicate)
"Alright sir I will try (a few moments later), ahh shit, sorry sir, I can not know at all what happened to this place" Zang replied
"What do you mean?" ask Katsumi
"This place is like being corrupted by dark magic that makes me unable to know what's going on here, sir" Zang replied
"Ohh. I see, well, it's okay Zang, the most important thing is that you want to try"
Everywhere, we searched 1 by 1, starting from the outside, inside, and edge of even the inside of the fort we checked and found nothing
"It's strange that this place, nothing is found here. There are only a few buildings and residential items here" said Katsumi.
"Katsumi, did you find anything?" ask Kenji
"Not 1 clue I found here, Kenji" Katsumi replied
"It seems like there's something strange about this place Katsumi, do you also feel what I feel right now?" ask Kenji back
"Sure.. I agree with you. Is it possible, all the victims have been disposed of by enemy forces somewhere?" ask Katsuma
"It could be. the problem is not found 1 corpse in this place" Kenji replied.
"Is it possible that the victims have been used as their undead (undead) troops" said Katsumi.
"No. there is no way that is the case, because when this fortress is attacked, the only ones attacking us are the forces of hell, nothing else" Kenji replied.
"Huh? if that's what you know, then where did the dark dragon that attacked the city yesterday, Kenji" asked Katsumi.
"Either. but if it is true that the dragon is not from here. means." said Kenji while glancing towards the 2 mountains located south of the Ethos Fortress.
A few minutes later.. Kenji reported the conclusion he had obtained from some of the info he had gathered into 1
"Hm. It seems like your words have a point, kenji. All right, we're going to the mountains" Kyouya told us.
"All right friends.without a long time.let's fly to the 2 mountains that are just south of this fort.
We rushed on our griffins and flew towards the 2 mountains. Suddenly, right from behind the mountains, we found a very terrible thing: a bunch of undead troops (undeads) and some zombie dragons are ready to be deployed at any time..
"Jeez. What is all this!" kyouya
"What a terrible sight" said Kenji
"What are they going to do with this many troops, or maybe not." said Katsumi.
"No. it's impossible! I know what they're gonna do with an army this big!" kyouya
"What are they going to do, Kyouya?" ask Katsumi
"Hah. hah. (breaths) if we look from the direction of his troops.they are facing east.just where the city of Scaro stands" Kyouya replied.
"Yup, that's right, we should hurry back to the city and warn all the residents and guilds there" said Kyouya.
Unfortunately, when we wanted to fly, 1 of them saw us who were about to escape..
"MAAANNUSSSIAAAAAAA!!!" say one of their 1st troops
"With our faces filled with fear.we may soon leave the place, but we forget 1 thing, in their army there are some zombie dragons who then chase us ber4(ber5 + with Zang). The zombie dragons continued to attack us with their fiery breaths.Fortunately, this is where we separated.Zang and I were shot down just north of the mountains.. no one knows where they are
Ahhrrgggttt.(rolling over the hills)... Takkeee (hands holding trees).
"Bahhh... Hhahhh... hhahhh (pulling breath), Zang.zang where are you!" exclaiming Katsumi
Duarggytt(a figure appears from behind a pile of trees(Zang))
"Sir... How are you? are you all right?" ask Zang
"Yes, I'm fine, just a few minor injuries" Katsumi replied.
"Zang.. Can you trace the whereabouts of the other friends?"
"Sorry sir, because of the bursts from the dragon, the air around this place has been contaminated with the poison that is in the dragon's breath which causes the temperamental air here to be chaotic" said Zang
"Ohhh, so now we can only hope.
that they're all okay"
"It's so thick. my lord"
Due to circumstances that forced us to hide, we (Katsumu & Zang) agreed to hide on the foot of the mountain in the thick of the trees. Sometimes we also hear the growls of dragons that are still around the hill. The next day, we rushed back to the city to convey about this thing we found to the entire population of Scaro City.
"Well, Zang, it's morning now.quickly we go back to the city, it's possible that other friends have arrived first there to warn the population of this terrible thing"
"Alright sir, please go up my back. I will use my maximum strength to arrive first before they are in the city" said Zang.
"Alright. try your best, Zang"
With lightning fast.. Zang flew so fast.in just 3 days we have arrived in the city.
The enemy troops had arrived earlier than us by using a "VORTEX", a high-level magic that could move a group of soldiers in a short time
"No. no. no. No. This is all a lie!" katsumi Sahut
"This city can't possibly be destroyed, right? it's just an optical illusion, isn't it, Zang? tell me quickly" said Katsumi
"Master, it's too late" Zang replied.
Katsumipun was exposed to falling to the ground with his face facing the burning city
"Why.. why this can happen when we have struggled to survive in order to tell information about this army, but why. this can happen" said Katsumi..
"Or don't-don't.. Minori, Kenji, Kyouya." said Katsumi.
Zang, the legendary animal even said nothing more
"Why can this happen, even though I have promised Minori to fight together to bring victory and savagery to this Ardonian country" said Katsumi who shed tears
"My lord, you must remain strong.maybe the gods have given you a chance to.."
"For what! to see all this sadness you mean, yes!" replied Katsumi who suddenly shouted
"......., that's not what I mean, maybe the god gave the lord a chance to continue to live so that master can prevent this from happening elsewhere again, remember my master.. this is a war, there is nothing in written history that the war will not take 1 victim, even if it means something in our lives.
"It seems like what you said is true, Zang, maybe I was given a chance to continue living in order to do as you said before.."
"Well..do you want to stay with me, Zang?" ask Katsumi
"Of course, my lord, I will follow wherever you go" Zang replied
"Zang.you are truly my most proud pet, I am so lucky to have you"
Thus.2 we hurried away from the place.and looking for some place in the land of Ardonia that is still safe.maybe we can warn other Ardonian residents, or.. this happened to open up several stages in the search for my true identity.. Zang also said on the way that he had seen several times the object (azimat) that was in my back gave off a bright light.
----Info------
There are some scenes where Katsumi talks to Zang through mouth communication, while Zang communicates to Katsumi through telepathy, so don't get me wrong!
