Chapter 186: An Old War Reignites Part 6

As Aron and the group were making their way through the desert like valleys of the Veldra Community, the loud boom of the Astroda exploding caught their attention and caused everyone to grow alert.

"What was that?" Henry who wasn't far behind Aron came to halt and asked this aloud while looking in the direction the sound had come from.

Soon the entire group followed his gaze and all they could see was a large cloud of smoke in the far distance which caused them to worry.

"It's likely from a battle, if so it won't be long before Aethelian forces know that there's been a breach in the area." Esmeralda narrowed her eyes and made the most obvious guess as to what the origin of the blast could have been.

Many thought along the same lines as her so no one bothered to bring up another theory, including Aron and Rose who let everyone speculate. In a situation such as this it was best they not involve themselves too much.
