[Ace POV],
Looking at the destruction that lay before my eyes, I couldn't help but turn to look at the emperor flying in the sky beside me. What a monster! This thought kept going through my head as I kept switching my view towards the emperor and the destroyed landscape below me.
"Hmmm. The ogres have left the area, just like I suspected," the emperor said as he observed the location below us with a serious expression on his face.
Hearing his words, I finally understood the reason why he suggested we should head out in the first place. It seemed that she wanted to assess the state of the ogres after the last huge attack he had sent towards them before joining me and her men to run to the settlement.
