Chapter 553

Chapter 553: Victory in Consenza

As soon as we reached the capital, we can see that there are battle everywhere. Lots of buildings were destroyed. But since most of the citizens are in a safe place, there are only combatants here.

The mohawks are easy to distinguish. But there are some other cult members disguising themselves as the civilians and hiding. I’ll take care of them, I guess.

Although the civilians should be in a safe location, there are some on the street. They are stupid for not following their Empress’ order. Though it could be that they are being influenced by the cult members who were blending in with the civilians. How stupid.

It will be bad if somehow, someone killed the civilians without them knowing that they are not enemies. I guess that will be my job.

It’s even worse that the hunters who knows nothing are helping. I won’t know if I will kill the cult members or ordinary hunters who were seriously thinking of being helpful.

They should have been informed to wear something purple so I can distinguish them. Just like the soldiers and guards of Consenza. That way, there won’t be any pointless friendly fire.

I thought if it’s Claudia, she should have informed the Hunter Guild about it. Wearing something distinguishable like purple bandana, which is a rare color, we can tell if they are enemies or not.

.....

“Shirley, have the guild been informed about purple cloth? There seem to be many hunters fighting as well,” I asked Shirley who is carrying me in the air together with Angela.

“What? Claudia should have told the guild about it! I was there when we were discussing about the incoming battle. And the guild master here was attending as well!” Shirley said.

“Hmm? But there are many hunters outside without wearing purples. Wait, there are some who wears purples. I guess those who don’t wear it are enemies. They are pretending to be helpful. Angela, Shirley, drop me here. Angela, you kill as many mohawks as possible. As for non-mohawks, we will take care of them later. Shirley, you know what to do,” I gave the order.

For Shirley, I don’t know what order to give her. But at least she’s smart enough to take the initiative. Either she will kill the cult members, or evacuate the civilians who were late in escaping, she knows what to do.

The two girls let go of my hands and let me free fall to the ground. And then, they split up to different directions. Angela goes to where the battle seems to be the most intense, while Shirley goes to where the civilians seems to be hiding. I guess she really knows what to do.

As for me, I will take care of the hidden enemies. With my Divine Vision, no one can hide from me. Unless the place they’re hiding is deep inside a dungeon that is newly discovered. Though I doubt there’s a dungeon in this place.

I should also check the underground sewer later. There might be more enemies hiding there.

And during the whole time, I will keep wearing Victoriarmor to cover my appearance. I don’t know if I would be able to kill all the cult members here.

At least until a few days after this war is over, I need to hide my appearance. Though I don’t think anyone will notice who I am after I remove the armor. So, I can still walk on public without the armor.

But for now, it’s time to kill some cult members. There are a lot of them. But none of them are as strong as the enemies I constantly fought the last few days. They are nothing to me.

Even if they called themselves as hunters who are helping the civilians, I won’t care. They should have been informed to wear purple. But they don’t. It’s that simple.

Because it’s an emergency, they should have been informed. Like how I got informed back when there were orcs attacking Melk. Through their guild cards. Even if they are hunters from another country, they should receive the emergency signal.

Though most of the cult members were confused why I noticed. Like why did they have to shout out loud that they got found out every time I asked them that they are the enemy? How stupid.

But thanks to their stupidity, I never miss. I didn’t kill any civilians or the kind hunters at all.

On Angela’s side, although she was tired, no one can match her. The enemies she’s facing are not as much as the enemies in the destroyed arena. It was no problem for her at all.

On Shirley’s side, she protected the civilians and calm them down. Claudia was with her as well. No wonder I didn’t see her with Lynn. She was with the civilians trying to protect them from the inside. And now, thanks to Shirley, they could find the enemies blending in with the civilians.

I also see Kayla in another location. She’s helping the civilians in another evacuation center. Even though she was alone helping the others, she knows what to do and everyone followed her. I guess they know how smart and strong she is from the tournament. That’s why they willingly followed her instructions.

Well, not all of them. Some are hunters who were too afraid to fight and risk their lives. And they don’t want to let a girl to be the one in charge. Talk about stupid pride. Kayla took care of them and now they were afraid to disobey her. And just like that, the place she’s at is safe.

I keep killing more enemies as I see my friends are doing their best. Celestine, Candy, Wendy, Julia, and the others, are split up and doing what they can to eliminate the enemies and protect the civilians.

Finally, I can’t see any more enemies. We have protected the kings and the people. The battle is finally over.

Even if there are still some cult members in hiding, it will be fine as long as I hide my appearance. And they also won’t dare to think that they can kill the kings by themselves.

Not managed to kill all of them is not an ideal result. But this is good enough.

Of course it’s best if the cult doesn’t know that we have me, an Aura user, fighting them. But it’s too late for that. Though if what Iris said is true, it won’t be known for a little longer.

“Oy, Lynn. It’s done,” I said to Lynn after I returned to where the kings are gathering.

“Oy? You have been more and more rude toward an Empress. And aren’t you usually spoke to Albert about finishing our mission?” Lynn asked.

“I talked to you because you’re the Empress of this empire. If you don’t announce our victory fast, the people will still think that we’re still at war. I have told Sonia to tell everyone that the battle is over. But you need to be the one to tell the civilians,” I said.

Not only I told Sonia to report the others, I also told her to remind everyone to not call me by my name when I wore Victoriarmor. Previously, it was safe because no one was around. But now, we don’t know if the enemy is nearby or not.

As long as they don’t know my appearance and name, it should be impossible for them to track me to Cassau.

Well, if it’s the name, there should be a lot who have similar name to me since it’s actually a common name. But if they deducted about Roy who is getting along well with Angela, Kayla, and the others who fought in the tournament as well, they will know which Roy is mentioned. That’s why it’s best for them to not call my name.

“Good job, Roy. It must have been tough even for you who have the best stamina to keep being vigilant and fighting for weeks. What will you do now?” Albert asked.

“I’ll take a rest for now. After that, I will be treasure hunting. The cult will know soon that there’s an Aura user, and they might send their master level mage to assassinate me. I need something to make me stronger. Just training is not enough. I hope I can find some powerful weapons that were used by Aura users in the ancient days,” I said.

“I see. I will tell some people to look for anything related to it as well. What kind of weapon you want? I guess for you anything is fine. You have Victoria after all,” Albert said.

“Yeah. If you find anything, tell me immediately. Just rumors, myths, or legends are fine. I’ll go back to Cassau now. I’ll bring Lina, Sophie, and the children home as well. What about your children?”

“I want to stay with them for a little longer. Have a good rest,” Albert said.

After that, I left and look for Sophie, Lina, and the children. They are in one of the evacuation center. And as soon as they see me, Daniel hurriedly run toward me and gives me a big hug. Seems like it was too scary for him.

In an empty place, I opened a portal and bring them back home to Cassau. As for Kayla and the others, they will help around in the capital for a while longer. And for Jewel and the others, I’ll take them home after I rested enough.

Now, let me enjoy the rest I deserve. I am tired.
