Ch 5 Rescue
Luke continued to ponder after Kurotan left the cabin He could not have iined in a thousand years that he would receive such an offer from Orcs
“What should I do?”
Luke pondered until his hair fell out, but an answer did not come so easily
Should he accept Kurotan’s offer, he could return safely to his House Marry his fiancée Isabelle, and start a happy family
Of course, he would have to help the Orcs, in the shape of humans, adjust to the world of humans should he accept
Luke frowned
“I probably won’t be alive to worry about this should I refuse his offer”
He did not knohere to start Should he attempt to educate the Orcs to fit in when the Orcs had a completely different mentality?
Orcs also had a tradition of eating hues, they would consume the corpses of dead soldiers
They would also not be knowledgeable about anything that passed as commonsense to humans
“What should I do?”
Luke seriously pondered for the entire night, however, he did not get the chance to make a final decision
“What’s that noise?”
Luke frowned at the sound of weapons clashi+ng and screa screams of Orcs Luke’s face paled
“The assault must have been pulled ahead of schedule”
Itthat forced the top brass of the army to pull the assault ahead of schedule
“Now that it’s like this, I won’t have to stress abouta decision”
Luke took a couple of deep breaths and relaxed All he had to do noait
If the figures that entered the cabin next were Orcs, his life would end If the figures were human, he could return to his House alive
While Luke griradually approached the cabin Luke held his breath
“Search along this area There ht be survivors”
A voice that was sure to be huh the cabin, and Luke held back his tears The Goddess of good fortune had finally grabbed his hand
A few moments later, three soldiers kicked open the door and entered
“There’s someone here, sir! It’s not an Orc, but a human”
“Report your affiliation, soldier!”
“I am Centurion Luke Estaban of Fort Potellan As for class, I am Third class”
The leader of the soldiers flinched at Luke’s words, and becah his rank was lower than Luke’s
“Ah, sir! The coht Hoonderful that you are safe”
However, the soldiers’ gazes towards Luke were not entirely friendly It was due to Luke’s kidnapping that they had been hounded so much by their superiors to lead an assault in the ht
“I have been lucky enough to avoid torture until now Of course, I would not have told them the time of the final assault until the end”
“Of course, sir!”
The co at Luke motioned to the soldiers
“Release Centurion Luke!”
Luke staggered up after the ropes binding him were cut The lack of blood flow to his feet made him unsteady The commander immediately supported Luke before he fell
“I will escort you to the headquarters, sir The General has ordered for you to be escorted there should you be discovered alive”
“Let’s go”
Luke nodded, kneading his sore ars
Luke was escorted to the headquarters, but unlike his expectations, the commander of the extermination army was not Count Pilona, as affiliated with Fort Potellan
A young general in his early thirties, dressed in uniforeneral at such a young age was sure to have many connections
“Welcome, Centurion Luke I am class three thousand-man commander Viscount Max”
Luke saluted
“Many thanks for the timely rescue, Viscount Max”
“Going by your state, it seems you have not been tortured yet”
“It was ood fortune”
“I have so to ask you first”
“What would that be, Viscount?”
Max frowned slightly
“Was there anything extraordinary that you noticed within the Orc hideout? Or anything you may have heard?”
Viscount Max gazed intently at Luke’s face after he asked his question, analyzing his facial expressions
However, Luke had experienced s as a member of a noble House, and his face re
“What could I have seen? I was merely knocked out and awoke in a cabin I was tied to a chair and unable to ”
“Is that so?”
“It seems that the Orcs tortured the other prisoner first It was ood fortune but his bad fortune”
“That is good to hear”
