Chapter 312: Prelude to the Catastrophe

The ground shook. 

And-

Half of the stalls collapsed. 

"What the hell!" I yelled. 

Dust, debris… and black?

'Soldiers?'

The soldiers were back?

My breathing increased. My heart raced. 

This was bad. 

Wasn't it going to take them at least a few days more?

But I didn't have time to worry about that. 

They were here, and they were right there. 

Smoke- the smell of burning. If I didn't act now, all this would just go to waste. 

They'd worked so hard to rebuild- so hard….

I had to make a decision and I had to make it now. 

'Damn!'  I ran. I ran straight for them. "Anyone who doesn't want to fight, just get the hell out of here!" I screamed and ran hard. 

My stomach also rumbled. 

Yeah, I shouldn't have eaten that stick of meat. 

Why the hell didn't I bring my sword? 

Slash!
