312 Unexpected People

"City mistress, do you regret your decision now?" Aidan dared to stand calmly in front of Scarlett because she was heavily injured.

"Cough…Cough…" Scarlett coughed up blood after standing up.

"Because Nightshire City is our neighbor, I will give you one last chance." Aidan spoke and paused for a second before finally he continued, "If you order your people to surrender and become my slaves, I won't kill you and your people."

He gave her one more chance because his goal was to take them as their hostages. With this, they could control Ace easily later.

"Dream on!" after saying that, Scarlett drew her bow, preparing to attack Aidan again.

But before she could shoot her arrow, Lieutenant Joe rushed toward her, pointing his sword forward.

"How dare you!" Lieutenant Jeo was furious because Scarlett still wanted to attack his lord after his lord showed her mercy.

Scarlett was heavily injured, and she was also focused on Aidan, so she did not have time to avoid his attack.

"Cough…" blood splashed out of her mouth when Lieutenant Joe stabbed her stomach with his sword.

"City mistress!" some of her subordinates shouted worriedly.

"Aidan!" Valeria rushed toward Aidan with an angry face.

She could not think straight when Scarlett was stabbed by Lieutenant Jeo. For this reason, she also let down her guard and got stabbed by Captain Maya.

"Cough…" Valeria fell unconscious shortly after that because Captain Maya's daggers were filled with poison.

"General Valeria!" the citizens of Nightshire City shouted again.

Aidan let out a sigh.

'My subordinates are too careless.'

He looked at Lieutenant Jeo and Captain Maya before finally sighing again.

Lieutenant Jeo and Captain Maya immediately knelt on one knee in front of Aidan. "My lord, please forgive your subordinate. We could not let you be in danger, so we attacked them without thinking twice."

"It's alright." Aidan could understand their actions, so he did not scold them.

'It's fine. They won't die. We can treat their injuries and make an antidote for them.' He added in his head.

"Aagghh…"

"Aagghh…"

"Aagghh…"

The citizens of Nightshire City were dying one by one.

Scarlett, Valeria, Captain Lia, Lieutenant Alex, and Captain Noah were already down. However, he was alone.

11:24

Colonel Louie was the citizens' only hope now.

However, he was alone.

Even though he was a powerful awakener, he couldn't protect them or their city alone. He was not Ace, so it was impossible to defeat Aidan and his subordinates alone.

This was the reason why Alselian City was unstoppable now. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝗺

No one could stop them now.

It was as if the battlefield was their playground and the citizens of Nightshire City were their toys.

Now, it could not even be called war anymore because the citizens of Nightshire City could not do anything after Scarlett and the others fell unconscious. "Aaagghh…"

"Aaagghh…"

"Aaagghh…"

Aidan's subordinates kept killing the citizens of Nightshire City.

At that moment, several thousand people died at their hands. Aidan's subordinates were so cruel to them.

They did not show mercy and killed the citizens of Nightshire City in front of them. The citizens of Nightshire City spoke ill of their lord earlier, so they decided to teach them a lesson.

"Stop! Don't kill them anymore." Aidan did not want his subordinates to kill all the citizens of Nightshire City because he still needed them.

Even though his subordinates still wanted to kill their enemies, they listened to their lord and stopped killing them.

"Knock them out." Aidan uttered, "After that, we will take their wealth and go home."

"Understood, my lord." His subordinates said in unison.

When a quarter of the citizens of Nightshire City had fainted, a giant eagle flew toward them at an incredible speed.

The eagle was not alone because there were six people on top of it. And from their behavior, anyone could tell that the mature lady standing in front was someone important, while the five people behind her were her bodyguards.

Of course, Aidan and his subordinates did not realize it because they were focused on the citizens of Nightshire City. After the eagle reached the battlefield, it stopped and floated above Aidan's subordinates.

At that moment, Aidan's subordinates finally noticed them.

"What?! A magical beast?" "Is that eagle going to attack us?"

"What a huge eagle!"

"Hey, look! There are some people on top of the eagle."

"Some people?"

"Ah, right. There are six people on that eagle."

"Who are they?"

"I don't know."

"Are they the citizens of Nightshire City?"

"I'm sure they are not the citizens of Nightshire City."

"I think so too. Look at their clothes! I believe they are from a rich family or a big organization."

"Then why did they visit Nightshire City?"

"I also want to know about this."

"Don't tell me. They are allies of Nightshire City?"

"Did the city mistress ask for help before?" "I'm sure she did not have time to ask for help because we attacked them out of the blue."

"Then why are they here?"

"Stop asking a question because none of us know the answer." They were shocked when they saw the people on the eagle.

They believed those people were not the citizens of Nightshire City. That was why countless questions appeared in their minds.

"Who are you? Why did you come to Nightshire City?" Aidan threw two questions at them.

'They should know that we are in the middle of a war. But why are they still acting calmly?'

Like his subordinates, he wanted to know about them because they dared to come to the battlefield.

Instead of answering his questions, the mature lady standing at the front uttered, "Go back to your place now."

This mature lady had long blue hair and red eyes. Not only was she gorgeous, but her body also emitted a holy aura.

The name of this attractive lady was none other than Alicia Nelson, the saintess of the Goddess Teressa's Temple.

Aidan was unhappy with Alicia's words.

Not only did she not answer his questions, she even told him to go back to his place as if they were nothing in her eyes.

"I will repeat my questions one more time. Who are you? Why are you here? Do you plan to fight me and my subordinates?" Aidan inquired.
