Yuan and his group soon arrived at the capital of the Lionheart Empire.
The moment they entered the city, they were stunned by the gloomy atmosphere.
The once-bustling streets were now eerily empty.
Most of the shops were closed, and aside from the guards patrolling the streets, not a single civilian was in sight.
"The situation is far worse than we imagined..." Valeria muttered, fury burning in her eyes. "I'll make sure those bastards pay for this."
Vanessa also looked furious at the so-called gods, yet beneath her anger was an unmistakable concern for her family.
Yuan immediately noticed the worry on Vanessa's face.
He gently placed a hand on Valeria's shoulder.
"I know how you feel, Valeria," he said calmly. "But for now, let's make sure your family is safe."
"This isn't the time to let your anger control you. Save it for the battlefield."
"For now... keep a clear mind."
