Demon Emperors
Ch.17 - Bad News

A while had passed and now Anna and Berlin had reached their hometown. The village that used to look good and beautiful is now turned into a mess, many houses collapsed and burned.

Anna seemed sad to see the not-so-wearing scene before her eyes as she bernolstagia about her childhood often playing in front of the village gate.

While Berlin continued to walk into the village to meet the surrounding residents, but strangely Berlin did not see a single human being who was there.

“Anna... Anna... come here... fast!” Berlin shouted to call Anna who was in front of the village entrance.

Hearing the cry of Berlin, Anna went to him running, “What's wrong?” ask Anna who is running towards Berlin.

“I don't see a single person here. Where's everybody going? Even if there is a monster attack, I do not see a corpse lying around here.” said Berlin with a look of panic confusion.

“Ayo... we look around the village.” Anna said.

The two of them continued to search together in every corner of the village all day and found nothing there.

Some time was so fast and the sun started to sink slowly. “Dark day, I saw a house can still be occupied even though only some collapsed.” said Anna with a sad face.

“Alright, let's go to that house. At least we're not cold tonight.”

The two of them entered the half-collapsed house. Anna returns to her life with her childhood, living with her father. “Ahh... I remember dad..” Anna said.

“Call Anna... Your father must be alive and he was somewhere because your father was not in the village when the goblins attacked the village.” said Berlin who was stroking Anna's hair.

“Thank you Berlin, you are indeed my good friend.” Anna said while hugging Berlin.

As the two of them hugged each other, Berlin remembered something. “How about tomorrow we ask the adventurer Guild? Maybe they have some information about your father being.” Berlin said.

Anna was shocked to hear Berlin's suggestion that the adventurer Guild was mentioned. Since Anna couldn't wait to see her father soon, she decided to go to the adventurer Guild tonight as well.

“I can't wait for my father's situation..Will you accompany me to the adventurer Guild now?” said Anna while holding Berlin's hand.

“hm.. I'm tired. but because this is all for the sake of my beautiful friend, so I don't mind.” replied Berlin while holding Anna's chin.

The two of them rushed off towards the adventurer Guild that was within the city. Before entering the city, it usually has to pass through the guards and checked the luggage for the safety and peace of the city residents.

Unlike usual the guards tonight very few even seen people who wanted to enter the city also not as usual, always crowded and had to queue long to get into the city.

“What a weird thing... Why is it so quiet here? Even the main gatekeeper is also very little.” murmured Berlin with confusion because seeing the entrance gate is not as crowded as usual even though at night.

The two of them queued briefly in the short queue before going through the guards for inspection.

After a while now it's Anna and Berlin's turn to be checked by the guards,“Where are your destinations these nights miss?” said the gatekeeper while checking the luggage of the two of them.

“We want to go to the adventurer Guild.” Anna said quickly.

“You beginner adventurers huh? I didn't see any of your weapons.”

“Be quiet... Can we log in?” said Berlin with a sullen look.

“Alright please come in.”

Usually seen many adventurers who are visiting in taverns and nightspots or also seen guards who are arranging peace in the city, he said, and now it only looks like some novice adventurers are drinking in the tavern.

“Why is it so quiet here too?” berlin muttered while stroking his chin.

“Come quickly.. I can't wait to hear from my father.” Anna said as she pulled Berlin's hand.

The two of them also arrived at the adventurer Guild's place and entered the Guild. “Welcome... Can I help you?” a receptionist who is at work.

“We are looking for someone, can you help?”

“Who is he? Is there a bond with the Guild?” call the receptionist friendly.

“He is my father, an adventurer in this Guild and his name is George, used to live in a small suburban village.” Said Anna who was trying to explain to the receptionist in detail.

“Ohhh... Mr. George... are you not a resident of the area around here?” ask receptionist.

“we used to live in that village before the small village was destroyed, we were both traveling. Do you know where George is?” anna told a lie because she didn't want to extend a conversation that wasn't important to her.

“Ohh... It's worth it that you don't understand the big thing that's going on here..”.

“Hal great? What is it?” Anna cuts the receptionist's words with a worried look on her face when something bad happens. While Berlin is only curious about it that makes this big city change.

The receptionist continued his words, “All soldiers and adventurers who are in the middle rank and above are heading to the central continent ordered directly by the king.” said the receptionist.

“Middle sea? What are they doing in the middle continent? Quickly say..” said Anna who was increasingly worried about her father.

“Let calm miss.. how can I explain correctly if you put it this way.”

“huffttt. Quickly explain the situation here!” said Anna, sighing.

“Alright, I explain in detail...”.

The receptionist explains that the human king commands trained soldiers to go to war with the demon race and for middle-ranked adventurers and above to be obliged to help the great war being planned by the other four races. Of course adventurers will get privileges and other great rewards

Their goal was to destroy the central continent and wipe it off the pixma planet map by killing all the demon races.

Anna and Berlin were very surprised by the receptionist's explanation. The two of them were very worried about George's state, because after all the demon race was a very powerful being.

On the other hand Anna also worried about the situation of the Alexander family and how it would be if Cyrus heard about the bad news that befell the demon race and also his family.

Since Anna was worried about all things about the father and the demon race, she immediately rushed away from the adventurer Guild and wanted to see Cyrus immediately. “Thank you for the information.” Anna and Berlin to the reception.

“Sama-sama, visit one day miss.”.

Anna and Berlin came out of the adventurer Guild and immediately left the seemingly deserted city. The two of them did not rest and went straight to the forbidden forest where Cyrus and the three monsters were waiting for them.

The two of them are now running towards the forbidden forest, “Hurry Berlin. before we are too late to tell this to Mr. Cyrus.”.

“I'm very tired, Anna..” Said Berlin that looks full of sweat.
