Chapter 146 - The Camp (2) (2/2)
”Leader, there is a human over there, battling with a kenku warrior.”
Upon hearing those words, Morgan and everyone else hurriedly turned their heads towards the direction the man pointed his finger at.
Indeed, they saw a human wearing a black combat suit fighting against a kenku warrior at almost forty meters away.
What truly surprised them was that the man had finished the kenku off quite easily with a keen strike at the throat before proceeding to engage with another kenku warrior.
When Morgan saw that sight, he furrowed his eyebrows in deep thought, thinking about the pros and cons of this situation.
'Who is that guy? Why is there only one man as our reinforcement? What should we do... fight or retreat...?'
After a few seconds of pondering and seeing how the man fought with the kenku warriors, Morgan's expressions gradually morphed into a determined one as he shouted towards his teammates,
”Abort the retreat! We will re-engage with the enemies!”
Having shouted so, Morgan was the first one to rush back into the fray, battling against a retreating kenku in front of him.
”Yahh!!!”
”Kill!!”
”Motherfuckers!!”
”Revenge our brothers!!”
Following Morgan were his other teammates, with weapons in their hands, melee combatants rushed forward, and rangers fired arrows. Everyone started engaging in a bloody battle for the second round...
Nonetheless, the battle this time appeared to be entirely one-sided as the kenkus were killed off at a fast rate.
...
Almost ten minutes later...
The earlier clamorous and noisy temperate forest was nowhere to be seen as calmness reined in the green forest.
Right now, more than twenty corpses of humans and bird-like humanoids lay scatteringly within the forest while fowl and game still didn't dare approach the area as the blood stench still lingered thickly within the post-battlefield.
More than ten humans stood hither and thither within the serene forest as some were drenched with blue blood, some with purple blood mixed from the enemy's blue and their own's red blood.
Every single one of them looked tired and worn out...
Meanwhile, no kenku was seen standing anymore as all of them were lying unmovingly on the ground, drenching in pools of blue blood.
”Please come out,” said Morgan, the scout team leader, towards a big tree in front of him.
If a person didn't look carefully, they would think that Morgan was speaking to the tree.
However, people present knew that Morgan had spoken not to the tree but to the person behind it.
After the noise died down, a man in a black combat suit, with blue bloodstains on his body, gradually revealed himself from behind the big tree.
Jeremy's clear appearance was finally revealed before the ten-ish people.
