The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess Chapter 138

Alex's eyes widened with horror as he looked at the grotesque corpses, lying all around him.

"Leo, did you smell the blood from there?"

Roar!Roarrrrrr!

At first, when Leo took a sharp turn Alex was quite angry with Leo but seeing the place Leo had brought him, he didn't know how to describe this horrendous spectacle before him.

It seems to be the stage where the one-sided slaughter took place without any tint of mercy.

"Who could have done this?"

Since the war was going on at the frontlines, there shouldn't be any movement here.

The only plausible explanation Alex could think of was a criminal organisation.

It may be either the work of a criminal organisation or a mercenary who took the chance to create trouble here.

Still, Alex couldn't understand why they did such a thing here in this small town.

What grudge did they bore or was it just for fun?

Alex glanced around to see if anyone was alive while activating his mana sensor

He found that the entire place was filled with corpses. Even with his mana sensor, he found it difficult to find a living being.

Sensing all around, he found a small flickering dot and glanced around the place to see a woman lying in the pool of her blood.

Finding a living person, he ran towards the woman who seemed to be on the verge of dying.

Alex cast a healing spell on him trying to heal her.

But his hands froze as he saw that the healing spell was not working.

He shouted to cast the healing spell again but it was of no avail.

Cough!Cough!

The woman coughed blood which brought Alex to his senses and he looked at the woman with a pained expression.

The woman was on the verge of dying and now only a healer above the Saint realm could save her.

Although Alex's healing was quite powerful, just like everyone else he still had a limit.

The woman looked at the young man before him who tried to help her and looking at him, she joined her hands and spoke.

"Young warrior, please save the children."

Alex extended his hands and held her palms and asked"Lady what happened here?"

The woman opened her lips while trying to speak even though her vision started to become blurry.

"A group of individuals attacked us and killed everything. They attacked us with the rain of fire and burnt everything in town but they didn't kill the children but they took them."

"They took the children," Alex muttered faintly trying to figure out the situation.

'Are they slave traders, who took the children as slaves?'Alex thought.

The woman nodded and spoke softly, "Please protect the children."

"Yes, I will....."

Alex stopped amid his speech as he saw the woman taking her last breath.

Alex's throat seemed to go dry and he closed her eyes.

Alex activated his mana sensor to find anyone who might be still struggling to live but he couldn't find anyone.

Alex looked all around him with hollow lifeless eyes.

An uncanny feeling welled inside him that made him feel helpless seeing so many innocent people dying before him.

"Could I have saved them if I appeared here?" Alex asked himself.

Even though it might be his fault, he didn't have time to self-reflect as he looked toward the place where the group of attackers might have gone.

Alex wanted to give the people here a proper burial but the time seemed to be pressing on him to move forward.

But his conscience didn't allow him to leave these people in the open.

Taking a deep breath, he stared at the setting sun.

He knew that his arrival on the battlefield was going to be delayed.

"Let's burn these corpses," Alex muttered while raising his hand to cast a large-scale fire spell.

In the vast plains.

A huge fortress stood, it looked sleek and menacing.

With an imposing look, the Fortress was congregated with several men who looked at the scene before them with a tense expression.

On land, there was a movement all around.

Dozens of armed warriors poured out of nowhere and started to attack the walls.

The vast field before them was burning, the villages nearby the place had been burnt, and great pillars of flame and smoke were smearing the sky.

The man who was in charge of the Fortress looked at the scene and his heart lurched as he saw the smoke rising to the sky.

He slammed his hand and shouted, "What the hell is going on here?"

Most of the forces had gone toward the main battlefield and there were only 60 men left in the fortress.

And most of them were unawakened.

And on top of that, the Fortress wasn't on the border, rather it was just a guarding pass. That's why there was less number of soldiers stationed here but who would have known such an unfortunate event would take place here?

"I warn you all."

"Take a step ahead and you are going to lose your life. I repeat, step ahead and you all will be sent to the Netherlands." The chief shouted and signalled his man to raise their bows.

But the enemies as if fearless charged straight at them.

"Kill whoever tried to invade the place." The Chief of the places shouted and the soldiers followed his commands, and a rain of arrows was fired at the invaders.

Under the barge of arrows and catapult throwing stones, the enemies dropped their shields and the sword which they had been holding was knocked out of their hands.

The Chief took an air of relief as he saw that the enemies started to retreat after the first round.

"Hussshhhh!!"

"Did these bastards come here to provoke us?" The Chief muttered and turned to go down to take rest as the enemies retreated.

"Chief... We have a problem."

The Chief heard the loud shout and ordered without looking back.

"Just shoot down these bastards."

"We can't."

The Chief who was walking back suddenly halted his steps and came back with a loud shout.

"Why!!"He yelled at his man but stopped in the mid-sentence and he widened with disbelief.

Before him, instead of enemies were many small children who walked towards the door of the Fortress.
