The stimulus given to Grush by this scene drove away the drowsiness of his brain and woke him up from his state of confusion.

He blinked hard in disbelief, but unfortunately, it wasn't a hallucination from exhaustion, and he knew full well that he wasn't dreaming right now......

It's all true!

Grush breathed in the warm air and watched as the stone houses burned and flames rolled in the air.

Everyone knew that the stone would not burn, but the flames were surging, and the whole village had turned into a sea of fire, and there was no need to think about it, and Grush also knew that the people living in this village were already very unlucky.

It's been dozens of minutes since he saw the smoke rise, are there any survivors here?

His heart told him that it might be gone, but he didn't want to give up the last bit of hope, so he raised his feet and gritted his teeth and rushed to the burning village—

The village has no walls, only a wooden fence, and does not look wealthy.

At the entrance of the village, he found a pool of blood, but did not see any corpses, and there was a trail of corpses being dragged towards the village on the ground, so he walked in quickly.

The flames licked the heels of his shoes, and Grushh reached out and patted them, extinguishing the flames, and walked around several houses to the interior of the village.

"Whew...... Whew......"

The stone houses did not burn, so the fire in the village was not as big as he thought, except for some wood.

The scorching air poured into Grush's lungs, the heat enveloped his body, and sweat kept pouring out of his body, but his eyes were wide open, refusing to let go of even the slightest clue.

However, nothing......

He saw the house with its doors open, and there was a fire burning inside, and the furniture was burning, and even the door was stained black.

The exertion of physical strength forced Grush to slow down, after all, he had been running wildly in the mountains and forests for dozens of minutes, and now the thin air in the sea of fire made him feel dizzy again.

But he didn't give up, his eyes constantly searching every corner where a survivor might be hidden.

There was no call in his ears for a lifetime, except for the 'crackling' sound of the flame burning everything that could be burned.

"Ahh

The discomfort in his nose made Grush sneeze, but his gaze was still searching.

He took a deep breath and shouted to the sky, "Is there anyone?

After shouting, Grush gasped for breath, because the air in the village was thin and he couldn't get enough air, and because he had inhaled the ashes mixed into the air, he couldn't help but cough twice, "Ahem!"

He looked around, but got no response......

Even if it's just a shout, a cough......

Nothing!

'There are no survivors left...... Grush' couldn't accept the fact, so he gritted his teeth and grimaced.

The fire was man-made, he was sure, it was man-made!

He saw blood at the entrance of the village, saw traces of the body being dragged, in fact, from that moment on, he already felt that there were no survivors in this village...... But he still has naïve fantasies that he can find a 'survivor'.

He saw buckets of water lying on the ground at the mouth of the well, but he didn't see any containers that could be used to 'put out the fire'.

There was no fire because everyone was gone......

"Ahem!"

Grush clutched his throat in pain and coughed twice as a dizziness in his brain interrupted his speculation.

He couldn't stay here any longer, so Grush turned back and walked briskly out of the village to the entrance.

When he breathed in the warm and cold air again, Grushh felt a little nostalgic and happy in his heart.

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha ......"

Grush sat on the ground, his back to the burning village, gasping for air.

'Anger' bloomed in his heart, and the God of Justice never taught the 'Paladin' to keep the commandments, and when he felt angry because of 'Justice', he should kill all the 'evil' in front of him - this is his teaching!

Grush felt his water draining, so he grabbed the water bladder tied to his waist and poured a mouthful of water into his mouth.

This water is hot.

After a short rest, he looked at the pool of blood beside him, laughed miserably, and muttered, "Why do I always encounter this kind of thing...... Is it because this kind of thing happens all the time?"

I thought that after this place was captured by the royal army, it would become peaceful, but why did this happen?

He didn't see a single corpse in the village, but he saw a pool of blood at the entrance of the village, and it looked like it was still running out of the village, so what happened in the village?

The enemy is inside the village?

Grush also felt that his guess was a little funny, but looking at the pool of blood and the blood stains of the body being dragged away, he had to confirm his guess.

"The enemy has disappeared......"

He took off his gloves and touched the blood on the ground, and suddenly his heart trembled, and his eyes widened, "Wait, this blood is still fresh!"

Because he hadn't had a good rest in a long time, and his dizziness had been affecting Grush's state, he blinked, and recalled those vague memories.

First of all, he saw the 'cooking smoke', and then he didn't know when the gray-black smoke began to ignite, and by the time he noticed it, he didn't know how much time had passed.

It took him dozens of minutes to rush from the mountains and forests, but on the way, he didn't hear any movement.

"Where are the corpses...... "Grushh muttered, turning his gaze to the still burning village.

"What about corpses?" he repeated.

Looking down at the 'blood' on his hand, and then looking up at the village, Grush slowly stood up with a blank expression.

The corners of his mouth grinned, his teeth creaked, and the anger and madness in his eyes were like a fire in front of him, constantly jumping and burning—

"Where's the corpse?!"

The corpse is gone!

It's not a question of 'one', 'two', it's everyone, the bodies of all the people in the whole village are gone!

Grush's face was contorted with anger, and he plunged headlong into the village, and after ten minutes, he walked out with a calm face......

However, more and more angry!

He stood in front of a pool of blood, his eyes flickering.

He found no traces, not much in the village, except for some traces of battle and some dried blood.

This would already rule out the possibility of a 'large group of centaurs', as Grush did not hear any movement and found no trace.

But if it weren't for the 'big team' operation, then where would the corpses go?

Can one person or a few people dispose of so many corpses?

Or rather...... Can one person or a few people take so many people?

He walked around the edge of the village twice and found no sign of 'movement', that is, it was very likely...... No one was taken away!

Only the 'corpse', only the 'corpse' is gone!

'No one has been taken away' and 'the bodies are gone', what is this?

Just to kill people? Just to kill people? Just to kill people?

Grush knew a lot of ways to quickly dispose of corpses, and the only ones that matched the scene in front of him were probably 'Blazing Glue' and a few plastic spells.

What person, or 'something' did it? What is the purpose, to kill someone, or to kill a corpse, or to the soul?

Everything is unknown, because there are no clues left for Grush.

However, 'no clues' does not mean that Grush will give up on the search for the truth!

Faced with the choice of 'ending the war' and 'seeking the truth', Grush resolutely chose the latter.

Because it is still the end of winter, the warring parties will not fight for the time being, but the scene in front of him has filled him with anger, he wants to find the real culprit, and then 'sanction the evil'!

This is the 'path' he is pursuing, and he will continue to walk without regrets.

Even if the end of the 'road' is the bottomless 'abyss'!
