Chapter 115: Observe

When the alarm bell rang in the city, Heath was buying salt and spices for travel in front of a grocery store. During the long journey, he would often hunt some game on the spot. Without these spices, the taste would not be good.

Then, the alarm bell rang.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The urgent sound echoed above the entire city.

Heath looked towards the tower. His superior vision allowed him to clearly see that on the tall tower, the scout was frantically pulling the firing pin. His pair of eyes were fixated on the direction outside the city gate. His expression was filled with fear and unease.

Da, da, da!

Following that was the sound of hurried footsteps.

Groups of soldiers rushed out from the barracks on all four sides and rushed up the city wall in a panic.

The entire city suddenly became nervous.

“What happened?”

“Could it be that there are enemies? Why are all the soldiers on the city walls…”

“Could it be that there’s going to be a war?”

The civilians did not understand what had happened, but the horn of war had already sounded.

WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Along with the low sound of the horn, there was also the strong sound of rushing wind.

Huge boulders flew towards the city in an arc in the sky. They crossed the city tower and flew towards the city. Then, they crashed down.

Rumble!

With a loud rumble, the huge boulders crashed into the city. A small white building that was two stories tall was instantly smashed into ruins. A mother and child who did not have time to escape were instantly crushed under the broken bricks and tiles.

The six-year-old child was fine under the protection of his mother. He stared blankly at the front with his big eyes as if he had been scared silly.

The pedestrians on the street were also stunned at this moment.

The noise, footsteps, and discussion stopped abruptly at this moment.

It was as if they had been hit by a time-stop spell.

Only the people who kept looking left and right with increasingly frightened eyes could tell that this was not a forbidden scene.

A few seconds later.

The child opened his mouth wide and raised his head to cry, “Wah!!”

Along with this cry, the street instantly exploded!

“They’re… They’re fighting!”

“They’re fighting! The First Prince and his men are fighting! Everyone, run for your lives!”

“Sob, sob, sob! Mom!”

Screams, sounds of running for their lives, cries, all sorts of sounds rang out.

The citizens who had fallen into panic ran back and forth, running in all directions.

In addition to the huge rocks that kept whistling over their heads, the entire world seemed to have come to an end.

“Sob, sob, sob! Someone help me, help me save my mother!”

“Run, child, quickly hide!”

Under the first house that had been hit, the mother’s leg was pressed down by a collapsed beam. The child beside her cried as he tried his best to push away the beam and dig out his mother.

However, his strength was too weak. No matter how hard he tried, he could not push the beam at all.

He tried to call for help from the pedestrians on the road, but at this time, everyone was busy running for their lives. Who would care about helping others?

The child was so anxious that he cried. He could only continue to make futile efforts.

Click!

At this moment, there was a soft sound.

A young man appeared beside the child. He pulled up the beam with one hand and lifted it up.

The child’s mother was able to run out from below.

The woman first made sure that her child was alright. Then, she repeatedly kowtowed to the man to thank him.

Heath shook his head. “You’re welcome.”

The woman left with the child. Heath immediately put down the beam.

There was no special reason to save them. It was just a casual act, just like passing by and finding two kittens in the flower bed, and he happened to have a ham sausage that he could not eat and threw it over.

Then, Heath walked forward.

Since he happened to catch up, he would go and see what the two sides’ identities were and how the battlefield was going.

Probably because he had extracted the military elements of Count Kroya, Heath became interested in this medieval battlefield.

He could also extract some attributes at the same time.

Among the people who were fleeing frantically like ants, Heath, who was leisurely heading towards the city gate, obviously did not fit in.

Therefore, after walking for a while, he decisively entered stealth mode.

Relying on his stealth and Knight-level skills, he easily arrived at the top of the city tower, the first line of the battlefield.

At this moment, the war had already reached its climax.

“Release the arrows! Release the arrows!”

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

“Draw your sword! Fight!”

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Arrows and boulders flew above his head, and the commander raised his cross-shaped sword high up and waved it back and forth.

The sounds of killing, weapons clashing, sharp blades cutting into flesh, and messy footsteps rang out in all sorts of voices.

Rows of soldiers were fighting on the battlements. Blood splattered and flames soared into the sky.

There were people falling down all the time. In front of a meat grinder like war, human lives seemed extraordinarily cheap.

Heath, who was standing in the corner in an invisible manner, could not help but have a strange feeling in his heart when he saw this scene.

Such a grand scene should be absolutely terrifying to a ‘modern person’ like him who grew up in a peaceful era. Theoretically speaking, he should have been trembling with fear a long time ago.

Looking back at the time when he first came to this world, the first time he raised his sword and stood on the battlements to fight against the beast tide, he was indeed trembling with fear. Because of this, he was even ridiculed by Kayla.

However, now that he was facing a war that was more than ten times more intense than before, he did not feel any fear at all.

Was it because he had experienced too much?

In the past, he had participated in wars, and he had even commanded at the last minute. Was he already used to it?

No, that was not right.

How could anyone get used to war?

In the end, it was actually because he was strong.

The extraordinary power brought by magic allowed him to cope with the rain of bullets. No boulders, swords, or arrows could hurt him.

How could humans be afraid of a war between two nests of ants?

It was the same for Wizards.

In Heath’s eyes, this kind of human war was no different from two nests of ants fighting each other.

This was the benefit of power.

If he did not have power, then he could only run, pray, and shout like the ordinary civilians below the city wall.

With power, even if he went to the battlefield, he could be a bystander as if he was watching a show.

If that was the power of an Apprentice, then what about the power of a Wizard?

And…

What about that powerful existence that stood above Wizards and looked down on all living things…

While he was silently looking forward to the future, Heath knelt down in front of a soldier who had just died: ‘Extract.’

[Beep, extraction successful. Soul Energy +2]

…

The war ended that evening.

The nobles who supported the First Prince’s faction in the city took over the city gate and opened it. The First Prince personally led his men to kill his way in and defeated the new King’s biggest supporter, Count Robertson, in front of the Arc de Triomphe.

The new King, who had just ascended the throne, was tied up and tied up in front of the First Prince.

The man who had been sitting on the throne and giving orders yesterday was crying and kneeling at the feet of the First Prince, begging for his brother’s forgiveness.

The latter decisively chopped off his head.

Carrying the title of ‘King Slayer’, the First Prince picked up the bloodstained crown from the ground and put it on his head.

“Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty!”

All the officials knelt down and kowtowed.

The man laughed loudly as he walked towards the palace, leaving behind corpses all over the ground.

Not long after, two soldiers came to the crowd and pasted a notice…

“Recruiting two corpse collectors. 3 silver coins a day.”
