Everyone that was close looked at the tigers, wondering why they were here. That was when someone amongst the crowd spotted the emblem on the chest of their armor. It was the engraving of a skull with a sword stabbed through it from top to bottom.
"That's the War God emblem, they are from the War God mega city," the boy said enthusiastically.
When he said that, talks erupted, and everyone that knew about the War God mega city started talking.
"War God mega city?" Aren muttered the name.
"They are one of the biggest cities created to house humans, and it's believed they have tight ties to the Black Dragon Sect. It is even believed that the Black Dragon Sect are the ones in control of it now," Aiden spoke.
"I believe the history dates back to many, many years ago, where the War God was considered a great prodigy, as he reached the hundredth level in less than two years, and he was extremely powerful, so much that he was considered a one man army in the domain, and every world government had to pass orders to not allow him to leave the domain.
So then he built the War God city, and since he was a member of the Black Dragon Sect, their connection to the future is great." Aiden did his best to explain what he knew.
Though at this time and age, that story was seen more as a tall tale than anything else, because getting to level hundred in such a short time was crazy, and also no one had even seen the War God.
"So what would people from that type of city be doing here?" Aren asked.
"I guess we'll find out now," Aiden replied.
The leader of the group came down from the tiger, and only now did Aren realize that it wasn't a dude but rather a tall lady from the shape of her armor.
She pulled off her helmet, allowing her dark red hair to flow. She looked forward, a beautiful face, sharp eyes, and a stern expression. Every dude that got a good look at her reevaluated their type of woman.
Everyone wondered what she was here to do. They watched as she tucked her helmet under her arm and walked forward, headed for one person.
She stood in front of him, and she was actually a bit taller than Aren.
"Are you Aren?" she asked.
"Uhm, yeah," Aren responded, not sure what was going on.
"Good. You are to follow me to the War God city," she stated, and from her tone, it was clear that she wasn't joking around.
"Wait, what?" Aren asked to confirm.
"You are to follow me to the War God city, you along with your crew," she said, her eyes glancing at them for a moment. "You can come with calmly, or be forced to, but I'll be taking you with me," she said.
'She isn't joking, damn, and there is no way I can fight here. Maybe if I summon the giant, I could have a fighting chance here. What level is she? She is probably above fifty for sure.
Tsk, even if I can defend myself against her, what about her army, and what would I do if they went after the others.
Shit, what's even happening, why are they coming for me? How the hell do they even know me?'
Multiple thoughts rushed through his mind in that moment. He took a deep breath. "Can I at least have some details as to why?" he asked.
"Anything that you need to know will be conveyed on our way there," she stated.
"I see, then what about Raven city? I'm an adventurer there, I need to at least tell someone I am leaving with you," Aren tried to see what level of freedom he had in this situation here.
"The Raven city is not important in this situation. You are to come with, and please do not try to fight. Every possible route has been taken into consideration, and the proper measures to make you comply have been taken," she said calmly.
"Damn, you guys don't play. Fine, I'll come with, not like I have a choice," he said and turned to the guys.
"Seems something has come up," he said.
"No need to say anything else, we are coming with," Kirs stated, and everyone nodded.
The lady placed her helmet back on and led the way back to the tigers. Each one of them got onto a tiger with one of the armored people, and as quick as they arrived, they already left.
Everyone watched in shock and confusion. What the hell had just happened now? Why did people of such level come and pick someone from here? They began wondering about Aren's identity, as most of them had not seen Aren in the first trial, so they didn't think anything was special about him.
The tigers rushed through the grass field, Aren sitting behind the lady on her own tiger, his hands wrapped around her.
"So can I get any information now?" he asked.
"We have a base a few kilometers away. When we get there, we'll talk," she stated.
"Hmmm, I see, and is there any clue as to how long I'll be staying in this War God mega city?" he asked.
"For now, it would be in your best interest if you prepare your mind for a long and taxing stay," she said.
'Tch, what could have possibly got me into this situation? Who from the freaking city knows me? I haven't even been anywhere beyond Raven city.
The best plan would be to start making enough countermeasures. If things started going south, we escape. Hopefully whatever reason I'm being called for isn't bad.'
He took a deep breath to calm himself, feeling the wind rush over his body. He closed his eyes and let out the breath before opening them.
'I guess this is the new direction of my adventure,' he thought while smiling, being nervous and expectant.
