…
"Everything disappeared out of thin air?"
At this time, Edward had completely lost the calmness and disdain he had before the expedition. He had already sensed that the riot in Sapphire Territory was not that simple.
"Notify everyone to be on alert and rest on the spot. Three shifts will be rotated to keep a close watch and not miss any movement.
Sis, notify the Red Dragon Territory and inform Lord Gegera of all the strange happenings here. Also, request evacuation if this mission fails, or deploy support forces."
Adjutant Sis looked at Edward with a confused expression. He expressed deep puzzlement as to why he had to apply for evacuation due to mission failure?
Did we just discover that the residents of Sapphire Territory had mysteriously disappeared? So, is it necessary to evacuate immediately?
"Lord Edward, with all due respect, let's not even talk about the failed evacuation request. Our current findings alone are simply not enough to convince the Red Dragon Territory to provide us with support."
Edward sighed as he looked at this outstanding adjutant who was promoted together with him.
"Cis, you are still too young. How about we make a bet?"
Adjutant Sis scratched his head and said nothing.
"Believe it or not, all the villages and towns we encounter next, as long as there are people moving around, will have no living people. It will be the same situation as here."
Adjutant Sis didn't believe Edward's statement at all and asked:
"Lord Edward, why do you think all villages will be like this in the future?
Perhaps the villagers here were simply drafted into the army, or were fleeing the war brought on by the riots?"
Edward patted his deputy Sith on the shoulder and explained:
"Where are we now, Sith?"
Sith was a little puzzled but still answered honestly:
"A village on the border of Sapphire Territory."
"So, Sis, if a war or riot breaks out in a territory, do you think the core area will be safe? Or will the border be safe?"
Sith replied subconsciously:
"Border area."
Edward continued to ask:
"So if this place is safe, what about the people here?"
Sith continued to refute:
"They might have evacuated here for some reason. Maybe the people here have already fled to the Red Dragon Territory."
Edward said nothing but pointed to a large number of daily necessities in a house.
Sith finally reacted after looking at those daily necessities.
Yes, if the people here want to evacuate, why don’t they take their belongings with them?
Did they encounter some danger and evacuate in a hurry without having time to pack up their belongings?
But that's not right! The houses here are intact, and my subordinates have also reported that there are no signs of fighting here at all.
Even a one-sided massacre shouldn't be like this.
So the question is, where are the people here? Where did everyone go?
The more Sith thought about it, the colder his back felt, and an absurd idea appeared in Sith's mind.
Edward looked at Sith, who had reacted, patted his shoulder and said comfortingly:
"Alright, now we just have to wait for the order from the Red Dragon Lord. Of course, this is just my speculation. As for whether it's accurate or not, I don't know myself."
Listening to Edward's comfort, Sith just showed a helpless smile on his face.
But Sith's heart was not at peace at all.
After all, the unknown is always the most terrifying thing.
…
On the other side, a hundred kilometers away from the Red Dragon Cavalry.
Xier and his men chose to stay here.
"Big sister, the investigators are back."
Wally entered a house. Just like the village Edward and his friends had visited on the border, all the residents had disappeared.
Xier and the others have been looking at the map on the table.
Everyone at this moment had frowns on their faces. Unlike Edward, Xier and the others knew exactly what the absolute danger that Sapphire Territory was facing was.
"Let's not talk about Vickers' territory for now. There's absolutely no one alive there. But Aigra's current territory..."
Xier said this, and Mare next to her looked extremely unhappy.
In the entire Sapphire Territory, the areas under the jurisdiction of Vickers and Agla are the largest. Although Mare's title is higher than Agla's, he is not very concerned about managing the territory, so his area of jurisdiction is indeed much smaller than Agla's.
"So, apart from the central area where Aigla is, almost everyone on the edge of Aigla's territory might have been dragged away by Vickers?"
Palma said that this news was not good. After all, so many people were sacrificed to the strange sphere, so the gestation speed of this guy must be very fast. It is very likely that there is not much time left for Xier and the others.
Seeing the worried looks on the faces of several people, Wori didn't dare to continue speaking. After all, he had already heard that the current situation was extremely bad.
"Excuse me, has the Voli reconnaissance team confirmed the status of the Red Dragon Cavalry?"
Wally nodded and replied:
"Right now, the Red Dragon Cavalry is in a border village a hundred kilometers away from us.
They have no intention of advancing further and have already settled down there."
Xier and the others observed the map and soon determined the location of the Red Dragon Cavalry.
Palmer asked with some confusion:
"A hundred kilometers shouldn't be far for them. Why don't they continue to move forward?"
Mare looked at the map and sighed.
"I guess it's the worst-case scenario."
