Breakers Chapter 22:
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 .
‘As expected from a Demon King’s child . ’
In-gong looked at Carak while cutting Felicia’s rope and Carack sent a signal into the sky . A green flash crossed with a red flame in the night sky .
"That is a signal that I found Noona! Now, let’s go!”
In-gong gestured for her to come out quickly . However, Felicia was standing still with a confused face .
“Are you sending a signal to Chris and Caitlin?”
“Yes! Both of them are also looking for Noona!”
Chris said he didn’t care if she died .
'I will use this opportunity to make some points . If Felicia joins our faction, Silva will also come to our side!’
Furthermore, Caitlin was sincerely worried about her .
In-gong gestured to Felicia but she kept on blinking with shock .
“Chris and Caitlin? They are trying to save me?”
'What, is it that shocking? Is their relationship worse than I thought?’
However, it was subtle . There seemed to be a lot that In-gong still didn’t know .
‘Ah, I don’t know . Let’s get out of here first!’
Now wasn’t the time to be thinking about this . They needed to move .
"Prince! Those guys are coming!"
Carack cried out loudly . In-gong glanced at the mini-map and saw many red dots flocking .
‘It is natural after the food warehouses are burnt . ’
Perhaps the enemy had already noticed the main purpose of In-gong’s troops . Of course, the food warehouse was burning, so things were going smoothly .
“Noona! Come on! Hurry!”
“U-understood! But calling me Noona . . . ”
Felicia started moving while replying to him .
"Kill them!"
"Turn those fellows into soup!”
The Red Lightning tribe orcs were rushing towards them . Arrows flew from every direction and the sound of axes could be heard .
"Kuk! Hide behind me!”
Carack placed a shield over his head and covered In-gong . In-gong reached out quickly, grabbed Felicia’s wrist and pulled her along .
“Kyak?”
"Ohhh!”
“Kill!”
"Fight!”
The yells of the orcs swallowed up Felicia’s scream . Carack raised his shield and shouted .
"Prince! Stick closely behind me!”
It was a situation where he couldn’t afford to look at the mini-map . In-gong looked away from Carack and toward Felicia .
“Felicia noona! Do you have any helpful magic?”
Silvan and Felicia were capable magicians . At In-gong’s request, Felicia recovered her spirit and nodded .
“Uh, wait a minute . Then . . . Shutra! Behind you!”
“What?”
In-gong looked back . While the orcs of the Red Lightning tribe were rushing forward, a flame arrow was flying towards him .
‘Magic?’
There was no room to think, so In-gong acted according to instinct . He hugged Felicia to protect her and received the flame arrow .
‘Ah, damn! This isn’t Caitlin!’
It was already too late to regret it . There was terrible pain that couldn’t even be imagined .
“Shutra!”
Felicia was the one who screamed with aghast instead of In-gong . He found a single strand of pleasure in the midst of this suffering - that’s right .
[Magic Power Control Lv1 has been learnt . ]
[Fire Arrow Lv1 has been learnt . ]
Magic!
In-gong groaned and released Felicia . He turned around and shouted,
“Fire Arrow!”
A fire arrow made of magic!
A spark emerged from In-gong’s fingertips and flew towards the orcs .
