No one dared to let down their guard because there were still more Soul Fracturing Arrows.
However, because there were fewer arrows now, everyone was able to spot the Soul Fracturing Arrows easily, giving them time to prepare for it.
This helped lower the threat of the Soul Fracturing Arrows.
It was then that they heard the sounds of killing and screams coming from the forest around them.
âFocus, everyone, and try to stall for time. Weâve located where the enemy is. Just hang on for a little longer and weâll be able to garner victory in this battle. A life of riches is waiting for us. Freedom, money, women, mansions. Weâll have it all.â Captain Himmel encouraged everyone in a loud voice.
They had just been through a battle.
Everyone had exhausted quite a lot of energy.
He had to motivate his people.
They could not let down their guard when victory was near.
There were three luxury carriages to protect in the middle. The first and last carriages were occupied by maids in charge of their employerâs daily life.
The carriage in the middle contained the people Captain Himmel had to protect.
Inside the carriage.
A beautiful middle-aged woman was hugging a young boy of about ten tightly in her arms.
She was the madam Captain Himmel had been referring to.
âAre we going to die, Aunt Leticia?â The young boy asked.
âWhat nonsense is this?! Youâre not going to die, Zion! Youâre meant to do great things. The place weâre heading to is where youâll be destined to do good. We will be safe once weâre there. No one will dare ambush us like this again,â Aunt Leticia smiled as she consoled him.
However, there was bitterness in her smile.
They were considered safe for now.
However, she had no idea if they were able to reach their destination safely.
When they had started their journey, there were hundreds of people in their convoy, but now, only dozens were left.
There was still some distance to go before they reached the location.
Fate would decide if they would arrive in one piece.
Aunt Leticia looked at the little boy in her arms and got determined.
This was Zionâs destiny.
All of these were just heavenâs little test for them.
Zion would be able to pass the test and later make a big name for himself.
âWhy do so many people want us dead, Aunt Leticia?â The little boy asked again.
âThatâs because youâre meant for big things. Anyone destined for great things will be tested by heaven.
If you pass the test, youâll end up at the top and do great things. These people were sent here by heaven to test you,â Aunt Leticia explained.
âAre they bad people?â
âNot exactly. Theyâre just serving another master. There is no such thing as good or bad. History is written by the victor. If we die here today, history may record you as a dictator and a rich bully who tormented men and women, and youâll be hated by the world.â
âIâm not that kind of person! Iâm a good person! I will never do something like that,â the little boy immediately objected.
âI know youâre not like that, which is why we must hang on, no matter what. Once we reach our destination, the future will be decided by us.â
âAlright! Donât worry, Aunt Leticia. Iâll pass this test. I will be the master of the future,â the little boy said with determination in his eyes.
David would have been surprised to hear those words.
This boy was only about ten but his words contained the power to convince others and harmonize with the Heavens of this planet.
Of course, this kind of power was nothing to David.
Every living planet had its own Heavenâs Consciousness, and so did Planet Brechen.
However, a borderline level 4 civilization living planet could easily be destroyed by someone like David, who was almost a Heavenly Overlord.
He could even destroy a planetâs Heavenâs Consciousness.
âThis is the right attitude, Zion. If we get to our destination in one piece, those guards out there will be considered our saviors. It doesnât matter what reason they have to protect you, you still have to remember what they did and never forget it. Iâve already let everyone know that fortune will be given to three generations of their family. You will need to be the one to execute that promise,â Aunt Leticia said seriously.
âDonât worry, Aunt Leticia! I will do what you say and Iâll never go against anyone who has helped us,â
the little boy replied sincerely.
However, he also made himself another silent promise.
He would never allow anyone who wanted to hurt them to get away with it.
