"Yes sir" the soldier replied and immediately got to action
All the Orcs inside the tents had all been killed leaving only those in the middle of the camp and about to perform obscene acts on the woman his Majesty had said to save. We could charge at them now and easily kill them but such chaos can bring about unexpected results so I opted for a better solution.
"Fire when you're ready!" I said
"Yes sir" more than four different voices replied
The plan was simple: while we eliminate the excessive Orcs, a group of five soldiers get onto high ground with a clear view of the clearing in the middle of the camp. They would shoot at the Orcs in the middle of the clearing with their arrows, this way we could reduce the amount of hostages killed and we would be fast Urgh!!
The Orcs gave a soft shout as the arrows pierced their bodies and with that, we were done. The entire camp went quiet with the exception of the sound of the team running towards the centre of the camp. The creatures that had been rescued simply sat on the ground frozen in shock, it seemed as though their minds couldn't understand the event that just took place.
I didn't blame them, I too would have been stunned if I didn't know the power of his Majesty. The weapons he provided was nothing short of Godly, I am sure that even Mr Jai the shaman would have classified them as a Disaster-class artefact or even as supreme-class.
"Sir some of the hostages here are in bad condition" a voice said as I walked towards the center of the camp "Like I said earlier, use your aspirin in them, his Majesty would probably reward you with more for saving them" "They better be worth it" the soldier complained but I couldn't blame him.
The Aspirin as his Majesty and Lord Viktor called it, was no different from an Elixir. It could heal and cure all as long as said person is alive or had some breath left in them. No one would want to use the Elixir given to them on someone else, the only reason why they were even going through with it was because His Majesty had ordered the rescue of these people.
Pushing the thought out of my mind, I made my way to the centre of the camp where all the hostages had been gathered. They were surprisingly meek for people that lived in this God forsaken forest. Most of them came from a single race, a race of tall creatures that had long teeth sticking out of mouth. Somehow they resembled the Orcs but their skin wasn't green and even their males….. well those that we managed to save, weren't that big so I couldn't tell how they were related to the orcs.
"Good day my name is General Rwak, We were sent by our lord to save you all and escort you back to the territory. So I ask for your corporation in the journey back as any form of resistance would be met with more than equal force" I said in tone that suggested they had no choice.
These people may be meek but years of living in this forest has made me understand that no creature that can survive in this forest is meek. Even Goblin babies would fight if pushed and they were E-ranked weaklings.
"You have all been treated so I believe there shouldn't be issues with you walking so on a single file and start walking in that direction. I want six soldiers watching them at all times" I ordered while pointing in the direction we came in.
"Yes sir!" The soldiers replied and they immediately went into action.
The hostages, seeing no room for negotiation, stood up and did as they were told with three soldiers walking beside them on each side. We don't have to worry about getting lost because of the Magic map that was showing in front of us. With that taken care of, I turned my attention to what I think is the most important discovery during this mission.
Where the hostages used to be, another creature or being could be seen lying on the group. It looked almost identical to his Majesty, though it's hair was longer than his majesty's. Like his Majesty, I have never seen a creature like this in the forest, it may exist outside the forest but I have never left the forest so I don't know. I believe that his Majesty would be happy to know that we rescued a member of his race.
"What do we do with it?" A soldier asked
"What else?.... Get someone to carry it, let's go… his Majesty would decide it's fate" I said then got one of them to carry it as we returned to the territory.

POV Change

While the team got ready to return, The other teams were busy tackling their own camps. As Kingsley had requested, they gave the enemy camps a chance to surrender before any attack of any form. Many disagreed and were slaughtered but with them serving as a warning to the other settlements, many lives were saved.
Kingsley, the mastermind behind all this however, had no clue of what was happening as he had left the control room to see the creatures the recovery team had captured.
