Treason (2) - Calling
The Zion kingdom was enormous. So big Andrew could not see the end of it despite being on top of one of the highest points of Zion.
The kingdom was built on the mountain, to be exact, around the mountain and had four levels; Royal level which was located at the uppermost part of the mountain, the upper level which was just below the royal level, the middle level which was just below the upper level and in the middle part of the mountain, and finally the lower level that was at the lowermost part of the mountain just above the normal ground.
The kingdom was built very well. The geometry of streets and how buildings were made were planned very nicely. The overall look of the kingdom was similar to ancient Greek and Egypt with a hint of Harappan civilization because of the alignment.
However, it was not the well-made kingdom that made Andrew's eyes widen but the condition of the kingdom at that moment.
Although Andrew could not see the whole kingdom even with his enchanted senses he was still able to see the upper level.
Some buildings were burning and soldiers were all around the place looting the houses and in public killing people along with forcing them into... what they desired. It was complete chaos.
Andrew clenched his fist and his body was shaking in anger. He was not aware why he was slowly filling with absolute rage despite the fact he did not even know any of the people of the Zion but he did not question it at all.
"Pieces of shits!" Andrew yelled loudly feeling his blood boiling and was about to jump down but he stopped himself from doing that. He was very well aware that he was not strong enough to survive a jump straight from his palace's wall down to the upper level.
Andrew sighed lightly and walked on the wall towards the main gate and then got down from the wall. He took the stairs and walked down but just after walking down some stairs he was totally irritated.
Andrew stopped and looked around trying to think of a way to get down quickly. He could no longer control his anger especially when he saw the condition of his kingdom and people.
A small smile appeared on Andrew's face as his eyes fell to the ground right next to him and the stairs 'I hope aura protects me...' He thought.
Andrew gulped as he felt his heart beating a little when he sat on the ground. He moved his aura from his legs to his butt and back to protect himself from the pain and lightly pushed his body forward.
Andrew was sliding his way down and although he protected his back and butt from the fighting by using aura he could not have protected his back legs.
'Fuck fuck fuck-' Andrew thought and quickly put his legs up to avoid getting his clothes damaged or skin to be torn than it already was due to his recklessness.
Andrew soon was down from the top and was at the upper level of the kingdom. Andrew slowly stood up and dust off his clothes as he made the aura return to his body.
"This is clearly not the entrance I desired." Andrew sighed lightly and looked straight. Perhaps it was because of the way he got down he was a little calm but once he looked back at the condition of the kingdom his blood started to boil once again.
"Now," Andrew said calmly with a cold face before yelling "Victor! Where the hell are you?!" He was quite angry not only at the soldiers but also at Victor because despite the chaos he has not yet appeared to calm down the situation.
Andrew's ears suddenly twitched as he heard a voice coming from a distance. He quickly looked in the distance and saw a soldier... a soldier who was dragging a girl by the hair.
The girl was quite young and sobbing while begging as the soldier kept pulling her to a house close by with a perverted smile.
Andrew, who already guessed what was going on, had his body moving on its own and before he knew he was using the golden aura and was behind the soldier.
The soldier felt a terrifying presence behind him but before he could react or do anything Andrew had his hand pierced through the soldier's chest from behind.
"You don't deserve to live." Andrew said as he took his hand out of the dead body and pushed the dead body aside after taking the sword from him.
Andrew helped the girl to stand up by grabbing her arm "Are you okay?" He asked the young girl who had injuries on her face. They were marks of slaps and punches.
The girl looked up at Andrew's face terrified and tried to pull away from him. She was traumatized and it was to be expected.
Andrew let go of her and as soon as he did the girl ran away and locked herself into a house. Andrew gave the girl a pitiful look as he saw her running away so scared.
"Is this even human anymore? How old was she? 14? 15?" Andrew asked himself before just sighing and rubbing his forehead.
"This is no good..." Andrew mumbled trying to hold his rage but he could no longer hold everything in "Thi is no good!" He yelled in anger.
Andrew took a deep breath and at the top of his lungs yelled "I, ANDREW-Z-CAESAR, COMMAND ALL THE SOLDIERS OF ZION TO COME HERE AND KNEEL BEFORE ME!"
Every single soldier in the Zion left the work they were doing and started to run towards the area where Andrew was standing. To be exact, even though they did not want to stop what they were doing they had no choice. Because of the ability, Andrew had their body move on their own.
To be continued...
