414 Just Killing The Enemy

It was almost like a dream to Jane, one second, she was jogging towards the beast some steps away from her, thoughts on how her chances of surviving today were rising to an all-time high, and then the next second, she was overcome with dread.
Though Jane had kept firm throughout the mishaps of the day, not giving up even after losing all her teammates, when this dreadful presence appeared behind her, hopelessness consumed her like a tidal wave would consume a canoe.
Jane was given no chance to put up a fight or even think, she could only await death, but after three seconds went by and she could still feel her heart beating and all parts of her body in prime condition, the woman didn't bother doing something as foolish as looking to check on what was happening to the terror beside her.
Without delay, Jane kicked her feet against the ground and sent herself into a low but powerful jump, one which sent her soaring and moving closer to Seth.
Immediately she landed, Jane began towards Seth all the while keeping her eyes on the newly arrived presence.
As a soldier on a job in this city, Jane knew almost every person who could be of note and even if she were to never have been given this assignment, the identity of the man before her was not something she was permitted to not know.
As the governor of Arilrirt, the man before her was a member of the country's top brass, and with his now peak 2nd stage Kaiser-level cultivation, he was a powerhouse to be feared, respected, and acknowledged.
With such a man in the city, attacking it, not to talk of kidnapping his daughter, would have been near impossible, a suicide mission, but fortunately, the president had been able to get the info that he would be having a breakthrough, and with that, a plan had been put in place.
Though there were several tactics and rules put in place when the plan was drawn up, a consensus had been that the team should be out of Arilit long before the governor could complete his breakthrough.
Though there was a chance that the governor would halt his breakthrough and move to save his daughter, everyone was ready to bet against him doing so, and the reason was that doing such a thing would cause heavy damage to his cultivation, an injury he would most likely not be able to heal and would mean the end of his cultivation journey.
Looking at the man before her, as far as her spirit sense could go, his aura was very stable, and his face healthy, a sign that he was in prime condition and had successfully entered the solid stage, but then, this observation only made her wonder more about why the man hadn't attacked her.
It was only when Jane was close to Seth, her heart and mind a bit calmer, that she sent out her spirit sense and understood the situation.
With her spirit sense, Jane could make out Seth still on the beast's head, both of them unworried, and while the other man with Seth was also moving toward them in a hurry and looking at the still-standing governor, the fear on his face was minimal.
"What am I missing?" Jane thought and looked back at the still governor.
This time, as Jane observed him, she noticed the slight shuddering of his body, which her terrorized mind had shamefully failed to notice seconds ago and Just as she began also noticing that there was no qi coming off him, a wave of darkness rose from the ground, wrapped around him, and then squeezed so tight that it exploded on itself.
Amidst the falling and fading particles of darkness resulting from the explosion, Jane looked for traces of the governor but could find none.
There was no blood or gore, it was like the man had just vanished.
"Jane," the voice of Seth reached the stunned woman's ear as she quickly turned around to face her saviour.
"Get on."
"Sorry," Jane quickly said, bowing her head a little and jumping onto the beast, which was already carrying two men.
As she landed on the beast, it flapped its wings, and with a single leap, sent itself soaring high into the sky, every flap of its wings taking them higher and higher.
As they flew away, both Jane and Gudzil looked down at the city, both of them gulping at the sight of the once glorious Arilrit city, having half of itself destroyed.
"Ehh sir, I just thought to tell you that you most likely just killed the governor of the city," Gudzil said.
Having travelled with Seth for more than a day, the one thing Gudzil had picked up was that Seth was totally not versed in the politics or geography of the country.
"Ohh, what was his name?" Seth asked.
Seth's words made Gudzil pause, and then after a few seconds of thinking, his shoulders sagged, and he answered.
"Sorry, sir, it seems I have forgotten his name, but I do know he was a powerful 2nd stage Kaiser," Gudzil said.
"Okay, no problem," Seth said as he sat cross-legged atop the beast's head, letting himself be bombarded by the wind.
To Seth, the man he had just killed was just like the several other men he had killed earlier.
While people might fear and respect the man's power, to Seth, he was just another ant within the swarm.
Finding a suitable spot on the beast's back, Jane let herself collapse, dropping the woman she had been carrying for who knew how many hours and then she spread herself on the blue comfy feathers of the beast, her decency being the least of her concerns.
Hearing the words of Seth and Gudzil, Jane sighed internally at how they casually talked about the matter.
While they took the governor's death as simply killing an enemy, Jane's thought was more on the impact this death would have on the country.
Enemy or not, the governor was a 2nd stage Kaiser, and thus his loss was a significant hit to the country's might.
"When will this war end? We can't be fighting amongst ourselves at such a time when we are weakest.
Now he's gone and killed the governor, what use is havign his daughter" Jane thought, and then as she shook her head, a flash of white entered her eyes, and she caught sight of Seth.
"If only he supported the president," Jane thought, and then her eyes quickly narrowed, and gritting her teeth, she ignored the cries of her tired body, the comfort of the soft feathers she was on, and pushed herself up.
........
A far distance away from Seth in a very thick forest, a battle was taking place, close to a crashed black-coloured jet.
A team of men dressed in black suits were under assault by a team dressed in blue and red robes, and they were losing.
While these people fought, a woman made her getaway, running from the chaos happening behind her, especially since was the reason for it.
