Chapter 35: Torn between Two Choices.
1055 Words
Down in the trees. Just right beneath Rhea Absolut... Is the domain of Mashura... She's ready to take out any danger that might come to her...
She is confident. The confident in her is filled to the brim.
With the support from Alfredo from the sky, and the equipment that he made... She's confident she can kill all of them in one swoop.
But she doesn't get too cocky to the point she's jumping in the fight herself... After all, this Orc army is lead by a leader... They're not the mindless beast that rape and kill human every single day... They clearly have a plan...
'The Capital of Alkem is near... About Twenty Kilometers before we reach the Capital... The Situation will be unfolding with flame and fear... But for some reason, I prefer that more than anything...'
Mashura slow down her tempo of movement. Rather than keeping up with the Orc Lord. She decided to slow down and then let the Orc goes first... Because she know. The Reward will be bigger, if she 'Protect' and not 'Prevent'.
It just show how bad the knight job for her... Since she get pays almost nothing... Same goes to Alfredo. He know that he wouldn't get paid anything if they only 'Prevent' the attack. Not 'Protect' the city from the attack...
It's because they know the truth, they didn't act on it. If they were getting paid beautifully to prevent this from happening... They're going to kill them all in here without any leftovers...
Speaking of which... Mashura detected some strange movement on the side... So she goes higher to the trees. Silently moving, guided by her Infinity... She take a look around to see who is following the orc group...
And to her surprise... It's a pretty familiar face... It's the two Lady that Alfredo scam because they scam him of his reward...
'... Alfredo would be really happy if I don't interact with them. But I really want to interact with them to tell them to never mess with Alfredo again! Hm... This is bad... I have Orcs to take care as well...'
And she comes to her conclusion...
'Well, let's focus more on the Orcs and ignore them... The two of them are Gold Ranks... But I doubt even with their power, they can stop that Orc lord... They don't have any buffs or weapons that is strong enough to kill an Orc Lord.'
Mashura notices that their weapon is the same type as her weapon. A good weapon, but not the perfect weapon for them. That weapon can't elevate their movement...
Anyway... Mashura let them overtake her position as she fall back even further...
'It's inevitable for the two of them to clash first. So, I will let them fight the orc first. And then if the situation is too harsh for them. I'll call Alfredo and we can flank the Orcs and Nobles no problem.'
Even without Alfredo by her side... Mashura can still make a perfect plan that Alfredo can follow and will be following. Since Alfredo is also thinking the same thing...
Back in the sky... Alfredo is looming over everyone... Of course, He detects everyone presence from the Radar... He was shock to know that those two lady which is his former comrades... Caught up to him from the back...
So the situation is like that huh... Mashura is going back to give some space...
The Radar told me pretty clear what her intention is... Since Mashura is the Vice Captain of Rhea Absolut, in the Radar... Her color is not red. Instead, Green... While the rest are Red...
Anyway... The Alkem Capital City is pretty close now... About Three Kilometers away... I can see that everyone is definitely not guarding the gate... And the Gate is strangely a normal wooden gate. Not the steel gate...
"Well, that's a mistake..."
I reloaded my Gyzus with the Explosive Rod... I take Aim right at the Gate and then move it back a lot... I've made my decision...
Since Mashura is going on the very back of the pack. She's going to be appearing later when the situation is harsh... I doubt that those two can hold this amount of Army really well... The gate and wall will be easily destroyed and climbed... The nobles will uses this time to sneak into the castle...
And when the peak of that all happens... Mashura is going to reveal herself and probably annihilate all things that she deemed as hostile...
The fight will be fierce between them... Mashura would probably waste time so that the guards would come and witness what's happening...
And at that time... Mashura will slay the Orc Lord in one single swoop. Or probably multiple. Since Mashura favorite attack is slice and dice into pieces...
When everything breaks down for the Nobles... I will shoot my Gyzus to make the situation a whole lot hopeless for them all...
What a coincidence that it's almost Night time now...
Anyway... I waited for the right opportunity to attack... I really make sure that Mashura is not going to get ambushed. Because her preparation is too perfect to be ruined by now...
Back to the ground... Mashura is resting on top of a tree... She's looking at the army of Orcs run straight to the gate... And then...
*Grgrrakkakk*
Their body weight just smashed the wooden gate... And then the Orc Lord scream.
"HUMANNN!!!"
Mashura was a bit dumbfounded by that action...
'That's really weird. Why are you screaming human when you come to our property? It's not like we scream ORC!!! When we come to your camp... Really weird...'
She was weirded out by that strange action... And eventually... Scream of terror rain down into the City... Of course... Mashura notices the two lady running out of the forest...
"Stop right there!"
"Your Ambush will be stop!"
The two Gold Rank Adventurer Lady draw their weapon and then leap toward the Orcs on the back line...
"Ugghh Aaaghhh!"
The orcs started falling down as they killed them... Mashura was shook when she saw their power...
'Interesting... So they're strong enough huh... Good job to them then.'
She stand up and then gaze up toward the Rhea Absolut. Where her eyes and Alfredo eyes meet... And both of them nodded.
