Chapter 22 - Chapter 3: Rescue #5
The base of the Red Lightning tribe was a crucible of turmoil.
Flames were everywhere and the screaming, crying, roaring and shouting mixed together to create a terrible sound.
Just standing still caused his head to become dizzy, but there was no time to stop. In-gong gazed at the minimized mini-map and commanded.
”Go to the left! Run straight to the food warehouses!”
Since General Vandal had hit the front, there were few troops left in the base. Moreover, Chris had rushed forward and made a lot of fuss, so the remaining forces had flocked to Chris.
Even though it wasn’t deserted, it was close to it!
”Ohhh!”
”Die!”
The orcs were fighting while rushing forward and the sight of blood filled his eyes.
Carack was showing an incredible display once again. He held an axe in one hand and a big shield in the other. As the lead orc, he crushed everything in his path.
In-gong didn’t stay still. He wasn’t fighting side-by-side with Carack, but he played a big role from behind Carack.
[Dagger Throwing Lv1.]
It was a skill he learnt yesterday specifically for today.
It was just throwing a knife, but he managed to kill some orcs with it. Carack dealt most of the damage but he still received a decent amount of experience.
‘Should I learn proper archery?’
A bow or other long-ranged weapons were useful in a situation like this.
“Carack! Pull to the left! Just a little bit more and we’ll arrive at a food warehouse!”
“Ouh!”
Adrenaline was being secreted as Carack responded with a strange sound. In-gong fingered his dagger and glanced around. It wasn’t because In-gong was worried about Caitlin.
'Okay, the operation... Ah, right! Felicia!’
In-gong searched around but didn’t see any signs of Felicia.
‘If she is locked up, won’t she die because of this?’
Flames were sweeping all over the place. If she was trapped in a confined space, she might suffocate and die.
‘Does he really have no idea?’
It was Chris who rushed forward and caused the fire first. Instead of setting the fire, In-gong commanded Carack.
”Find Felicia!”
“Huh? What are you saying?”
Carack retorted with agitation. In-gong could see tents and timber buildings, but it was too crowded.
”No, just rush it!”
If the enemies knew Felicia’s value, they would try to get her out.
‘Yes, let’s not think about it!’
In-gong felt a little sorry for Felicia but he couldn’t make a difference. Instead, he focused on the mini-map while rushing forward with Carack. In-gong perceived Felicia as a neutral NPC, so she should appear as a blue or purple dot on the map.
Even Chris and Caitlin, who he killed as Zephyr, were now solid allies. Perhaps, Felicia and Silvan could become like them.
‘Yes, there are no unconditional enemies!’
Of course, Zephyr was an exception!
”Prince! The food warehouses!”
Carack shouted. A few orcs around him threw flasks of explosive magic, causing a huge explosion and flames to ensue.
”Kuahaha! Good ride!”
Carack shouted like a villain with a menacing face. Instead of responding, In-gong looked around again. His first objective of the food warehouse had been taken care of, so now he could find Felicia.
‘Although it is possible to find her...’
”This way! Somebody help!”
A sharp scream was heard before he finished his thought. The voice of a woman could clearly be distinguished from the sounds of the orcs.
In-gong and Carack ran towards the direction where he heard the sound. Inside a semi-collapsed wooden building, a few orcs from the Red Lightning tribe were knocked out while a female dark elf with both hands tied stood in the middle of burning wreckage.
“Felicia?”
Felicia had a sharp face, silver hair, red eyes and was wearing clothes that could be called a bathing suit.
Felicia blinked with amazement at In-gong’s call.
“What, are you Shutra?”
In-gong replied with a question instead of answering.
“How? Who knocked out all the orcs?”
”Of course, I did it! I used this uproar to try and escape but the fires are everywhere... That doesn’t matter! Cut this rope as quickly as possible! There is a trick involved with it that is interfering with my magic!”
Despite that, she had already halfway escaped by herself.
