Chapter 37 Weird

An Geli, who had been sitting silently beside her, finally couldn't help but complained: "Aaron, it's not because of your poor protection that my father suffered such serious injuries."

"Shut up~! Mr. Aaron is not my subordinate, how can you say such a thing!"

Viscount Steve's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly scolded: "An Geli, go back to your compartment! After dinner, ask the maid to bring it to you, and don't appear in front of Mr. Aaron again! "

An Geli was taken aback, pursed her cherry lips very hard, then turned around and left in a hurry without looking back. It seemed that she had a lot of resentment in her heart, and she might have secretly hated Aaron so much.

"It really makes you laugh, it's because I didn't discipline my daughter well." Viscount Steve said to Aaron with a full face of apology: "All this is because I spoiled her in the past, and I think she has nothing to Mr. Aaron Malicious, I hope you don't mind it."

It seems that Viscount Steve seemed a little too 'severe' to An Geli's words just now.

However, Aaron knew that Viscount Steve was protecting his only daughter after all, otherwise he wouldn't let An Geli eat in the carriage in the future. Possibility of conflict with Aaron.

However, Aaron is not an upright and good person who has been bullied by others many times, but can still laugh it off. On the contrary, Aaron can be regarded as a "bad person" in some respects, and An Geli's words many times Wanton has already stepped on Aaron's bottom line, for the sake of Viscount Steve's apology -

"Let's let her go for now, but there will be no next time."

Aaron secretly made a decision, but on the surface he responded calmly: "It's okay, I won't argue too much with a little girl, if there is no next time."

Viscount Steve's heart suddenly turned cold, but he heard Aaron's subtext—"If there is another time, it will not be so simple. '

To this, Viscount Steve could only respond: "Don't worry, I will discipline my little girl well."

After dinner (it is more appropriate to call it 'Supper'), everyone began to sleep and rest.

For the safety of the carriage team, several soldiers took turns to watch the night. Until dawn, the huge carriage team set off again and began to drive towards the direction of the Finnish Empire.
half an hour later
Aaron, who was sleeping in the carriage, was suddenly woken up by Viscount Steve: "It's not good, Aaron, the soldier I sent to investigate came back and reported."

"Something strange seems to have happened to Viscount Cooper's castle!"

Aaron was woken up all of a sudden. He rubbed his forehead vigorously, and asked in confusion, "It's a strange thing?"

"Yes, quite a strange thing." Standing at the door of the carriage, Viscount Steve seemed a little unsure how to describe what happened at Cooper Castle, so he simply said, "Forget it, I don't know the specifics, you and I’ll take a look and see what’s going on.”

With that said, Viscount Steve directly dragged Aaron up, and the two of them came outside the carriage together, stood on the wooden board of the carriage and looked forward, while the entire carriage team was already approaching Viscount Cooper's castle. , but the creepy thing is——

On the flat ground around Cooper Castle, there are a large number of traces of military camps. Animal skin tents are scattered on the flat ground, and iron shields and spears used by soldiers are randomly scattered. Abandoned on the ground, it is like a waste object that has been abandoned like a shoe. There are still some bonfires that have not been extinguished in the middle, as if they are maintaining the final temperature, burning with all their strength.

Among them, some bonfires with unstable bases were directly blown down by the strong wind and fell on the animal skin tents beside them. The unmanned flames immediately engulfed the animal skin tents, burning strands of gray smoke that rushed into the blue sky , forming a weird scene mixed with absurdity and tragedy——

There was not a single soldier in the entire battlefield!

No. It should be said that no life exists!Not even a living army horse had disappeared! ! !
It was as if everyone had played hide-and-seek overnight and completely disappeared without a trace, whether it was people, animals, or any other living things, all disappeared without a trace!
What Aaron and Viscount Steve saw was just such a deadly battlefield like a graveyard!
"What's going on here?!"

Aaron could hardly believe his eyes. Could it be that these soldiers disappeared because they broke through the castle?Logically speaking, they should enter Cooper Castle to enjoy it, and use the entire Cooper Castle as a base for the next army invasion.

but
Aaron looked at Cooper Castle, but saw that the whole castle seemed to be integrated with the cemetery and battlefield outside. There was no human figure on the blue-black walls around the castle, and even the gate below was wide open. Aaron carefully Looking into the city gate, I found that there was still no sign of living people inside. It seemed that all living things were evaporated collectively by the world in an instant.

The entire castle is filled with a desolate, dead, and depressing atmosphere, which makes people feel a chill in their hearts.
Seeing this scene, Aaron couldn't help asking Viscount Steve: "What happened? Where did the combined army from the Karas Empire go? Did they all go to hell?!"

"I also want to know what happened!" Viscount Steve was also completely confused. He scratched his hair and said inexplicably, "If the joint army outside won, the castle shouldn't look like this. If It was Viscount Cooper who won, and the castle should not look like this completely deserted!"

"Did they make an appointment to play hide-and-seek together?! It's ridiculous!!!"

Viscount Steve felt more and more unbelievable as he talked, and almost pulled his hair out.

Aaron pondered for a while, and decided to propose: "Let's just go and take a look. With the strength of our two official knights, we can escape in time even if there is any accident."

Viscount Steve pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, let's take a look together."

However, just to be on the safe side, Viscount Steve took four loyal soldiers and subordinates, leaving the other eight soldiers to look after the carriage team, and he and Aaron stepped on the fast horse for riding.
An Geli was disturbed to sleep by some noise, so she walked out of the carriage, and learned that Viscount Steve and Aaron were going to check on Viscount Cooper's castle, she immediately stared at Aaron fiercely, as if It's as if Aaron died in the castle.

Of course, Aaron sensed An Geli's unfriendly gaze, and immediately frowned fiercely, a hint of impatience and evil thoughts flashed in his heart, as if the backlog of negative emotions could be completely ignited with only one fire - Aaron has always been He is not a good person who repays grievances with virtue, and repaying grievances with hatred is his life principle.

However, Aaron did not explode immediately, but greeted Viscount Steve calmly, and the two led four soldiers, a total of six people rode fast horses to the dead Cooper Castle.
