The stars revolve continuously, day and night.
Those in the heavens journey toward the star realm, while those on the earth lick their wounds.
Louis did not get involved in the internal affairs of the Lokeshi Empire.
He reckoned that the other party also didn’t want outsiders to witness such a spectacle.
The only consolation was that the spatial tunnel around the Imperial Capital, originally unable to be defended due to the war, unexpectedly disconnected.
News he received from secret channels was that a massive world cluster was suddenly interrupted at a mont’s notice.
What made him anxious was that Aaron went missing after this battle.
From dawn till dusk, his figure was never seen.
Louis grew increasingly restless.
The post-war scene was already a wasteland.
Everyone was busy.
There were few who could spare the ti to investigate this matter, and given the current situation, even maintaining communication was difficult.
It was after the war; he couldn’t just go crazy and summon the Soldier Realm like before.
If he did so again, it would be a declaration of war against the remnants of Lokeshi.
He didn’t want to see such a situation.
So even he could only wait here.
To avoid triggering the sensitive nerves of the Lokeshi people, he didn’t even send out the Curse Binding Legion.
Just as the Lokeshi respected his wishes, he likewise chose to respect the wishes of the Lokeshi people.
It was near dusk, yet he still didn’t receive news from outside.
There was just news saying Aaron was last seen falling from the sky, landing in the city’s west.
The west side of the city was not a good place.
Or rather, it was originally the poorest and most backward area of the Imperial Capital.
Though better than those rural towns below, being in the Imperial Capital made it easier to be influenced and affected by powerful forces.
It was also a place where Envy once lived under an alias.
Louis felt worried.
People in such places wouldn’t talk about faith and ideals.
If they encountered Aaron in a weakened state, attacking him outright would be quite reasonable.
Just as he thought this, soone appeared beside him and said:
"Your Highness Louis, Lord Aaron has been found."
"How is he?"
The person remained silent.
Hearing this, Louis was silent too.
"Take to see him."
Walking on the ruins of the city’s west.
He quickly saw Aaron under the guidance of the other party.
The mont he saw him, anger ignited in his eyes.
"Who did this?"
"A group of vagrants from the city’s west. They saw Lord Aaron stop breathing, and then had thoughts."
Louis gritted his teeth.
In a past life, he also saw the depiction of a blood-stained stead bun in an article of a certain treeman.
And now, what unfolded before his eyes was a reality not inferior to the blood-stained stead bun.
Aaron’s body was tightly held in Sidria’s arms, his armor gone.
The Knight of Love, Sack, stood quietly beside them.
Seeing Louis approach, Sack raised his head, revealing his hollow eyes.
His right eye was full of confusion, and his left eye was void.
This Knight of Love had lost half of his vision in the previous battle.
He said in a low voice, "People around say they saw this powerful man land here, standing quietly watching the sunset at this dilapidated church."
Louis remained silent.
Aaron’s equipnt had all disappeared, so he knew soone among the vagrants got greedy and took it away.
"He fought to the bitter end for this country, only to end up like this."
Sack Knight shook his head and said, "We retrieved the equipnt, or rather, those vagrants voluntarily left it behind."
Louis sneered, "Afraid of causing trouble? If they were truly afraid, they shouldn’t have acted in the first place."
His words carried a faint anger.
To let a warrior with sincere faith face such an ending was truly humiliating.
Yet Sack shook his head and said, "Not fear of causing trouble, but they felt those items weren’t worth the trouble."
He slowly made way.
Only then did Louis notice that Aaron’s sowhat old equipnt was placed neatly aside.
His pupils quivered.
Previously when eting Aaron, the power on him was like a radiating sun, overshadowing everything else about him.
He naturally had no chance to carefully observe his gear.
But now, seeing his gear again, it was obvious his armor was the most ordinary warrior’s armor, even the Eternal Fierce Sun’s emblem on his cloak was self-drawn, looking like graffiti, without any excessive sacred power.
Who could have imagined that the mighty power possessed by the Knight of the Scorching Sun relied entirely on his constant rigorous training and noble faith?
"Who is that?"
Louis looked at the knight holding Aaron tightly.
The sadness emanating from him was palpable, even to him.
"Sidria, the main figure of the Sunset Church."
"People from the Sunset Church, ah..."
"Sigh."
The two sighed again, speaking of the matter.
Originally, the fire of the Eternal Fierce Sun depended entirely on Aaron, the Knight of the Scorching Sun, to sustain.
Without the Knight of the Scorching Sun, even a dium power could bully the Sunset Church at will.
Now that Aaron was gone, he knew the Sunset Church was not far from collapse.
Louis remained silent for a long ti, finally giving a promise, "If your Sunset Church doesn’t wish to stay long in this heartbroken place of Lokeshi, then leave.
Co to Ense, I will, for Aaron’s dying wish, give you as many opportunities for developnt as possible."
Sidria seed to finally co to his senses, self-mockingly saying:
"Is that the person Aaron always talked about? Never thought such a promise from a great figure would co in this manner. He said before he left, that fighting alongside you, a worthy ally, was a source of pride for him."
