They walked for 12 hours before seeing the first sign of life. Well, not life as there were no humans in the empire anymore, but buildings.
It was a small village with plantations that had already rotten with disease. No one was there to take care of it.
All the houses were woody, and it looked exactly like an ordinary human village.
A slightly bigger house, presumably for the person in charge, and another one with the same size as the village's merchant.
At first glance, everything looked normal within that village, but Arthur quickly noticed a corpse near one plantation.
"They killed everyone here… bastards!"
The entire village was dead, and their corpses were scattered all over the place without a proper funeral.
Arthur did not have the time to bury everyone from the Dragon Scale Empire, but he could not let their bodies there to rot.
Bugs were already crawling inside the corpses, eating it. A sad scene.
