Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System

Chapter 256 - Evacuation

"I do not see why we should leave our homes or evacuate our wives and children if war has yet to even start." Another man yelled. He seemed very reluctant to let his wife and child leave just because they were told to.

Tilia was about to say something to explain, but Kiliffia stepped forward and stopped her. "You need to understand something, the things I have seen with my own eyes. Now do not get me wrong. I do not mind Humans. Even my father is a human. But… In the human territories where humans think nothing of enslaving and r*ping beastkin, you would come to understand that the dangers are not small. I have seen with my own eyes a massive army that is being trained and built up. They have enough soldiers to push into our lands at great speed, pillaging, killing, and r*ping their way through. Do you know humans do not care for age when it comes to beastkin? Sir, I can tell you are young. Would you like to watch as your daughter or wife is defiled in front of your eyes before being killed? These are the things we are talking about. I do not wish to scare you. And I hope none of you will be scared of the humans you have grown close to and live near because I will be the first to stand up and say that not all humans are bad. My father is one of them. He raised me from birth and gave me a life full of love, and even supported my goals in life.

"We did not come here to split up families. We did not come here to cause discord between races. We came here to stop horrific acts before the war begins. So as Princess Tilia has said, I hope you will abide by the king's request and evacuate now." Kiliffia lowered her head as she bowed. Tilia and Tia followed suit.

Kiliffia's words were not minced and left many staring at her in disbelief that she could say such things. But those same words also hit home. She had told them information that would sink in and make them realize now was not the time to be questioning and arguing. The three girls did not raise their heads as they waited to hear a response from the crowd. "I will abide by the king's word!"

A sudden voice spoke up, and a young woman who had two little girls with her stepped out. They seemed to be from the squirrel race. "I only have my daughters and me since my husband died in the last war. I had heard about the atrocities committed during that time. I, for one, will follow the king's words and will evacuate with my children. I will not nor will I let my two daughters become victims of war."

"I will follow the order as well."

"I leave my wife and kids in your hands."

"Same here!"

Soon the whole crowd was agreeing to the order, which allowed Kiliffia and the other two girls to let out a sigh of relief. While Kiliffia and the girls were helping people pack things up and evacuate with the members of the army, they brought with them. In the castle, Claine had an unexpected visitor.

"You are?" Claine asked as he creased his brow. He could tell the woman in front of him was very powerful.

"My name is Sei. I was going to search for my future aunt and have her explain these things to you, but I decided to come straight to you first. At this moment in time, the Yuthia Theocracy is now basically a no man's land. I do not know the situation inside the cathedral where the high priest and pope live, but the city itself has turned into a necropolis. Whatever energy that is flooding out of the capital is slowly affecting the lands nearby and the people living there. Yuthia, the goddess the Yuthia Theocracy worships, is currently investigating the matter. I would suggest you pull out any people you have in the region and block all travel back and forth from the Rural Kingdom to the Yuthia Theocracy." Sei explained.

"This… You say Yuthia? Goddess Yuthia herself? This means you are also a…"

"That is right. I am also a goddess. I am one of the goddesses of darkness, Sei, and Yuthia's lover. She sent me here to look after our future aunt and protect her if needed. But let me explain one thing, from what I can tell from the conditions in the Yuthia theocracy capital, that humans may not be your only enemies, and this upcoming war will be more than just humans versus beastkin. The gods and goddesses themselves of the realm of gods may need to come down and face off against a much more horrible foe. "Sei's words caused Claine to sink into deep thought. This was a lot of information to process all at once.

"You have to know that the only way to defeat what is to come is not just being a simple god or goddess." Another voice echoed throughout the throne room, causing Sei and Claine to turn their heads. A crack in space and time appeared as Creige walked out of it. He looked at Claine and bowed his head slightly. "I have come to protect my wife's homeland. I will not interfere beyond that."

Sei frowned, hearing this. "You won't help if those things show up?"

"What does the devil race have to do with me? My wife is all that matters. She is not even on this world at the moment. If it was not for the fact that my wife loves this kingdom, I would not even be here right now. Nor would I have had the king of Stone Hammer send all his men to help. Why should I help kill a bunch of weaklings like some devils?" Creige asked. UNlike how he normally was in front of Kana, he was very indifferent in front of others.

"Weaklings!? Do you know that the devils race is on par with the realm of gods!? Wait, how do you know I was talking about the devil race?"
