Change of plan

What could he have seen? Cliff asked, watching the young elf vomit his guts out, his expression turning sullen, as the other other soldiers also began to groan in horror.

"What the hell is going on!!!?"

For a moment, as the young elf soldier named Alain seemed to compose himself, Cliff took him by the shoulders, forcing him to stare at him.

"Legionnaire, look at me!" Said Cliff, raising his voice roughly.

"Tell me what you saw!!"

The young soldier tried to look away, but Cliff held him by the jaw, and stared straight into his eyes.

"Tell me what the fuck you saw!!" He asked her, yelling at her.

Noticing what he had just done, he released the young soldier's unhappy face, apologized and took a step back.

The young soldier or rather Alain bowed deeply to beg for forgiveness.

"Please forgive me master, it's just that what they did was so atrocious and… cruel, that I couldn't clearly explain it to you."

Cliff had calmed down, he had distanced himself from what the soldier was saying to him for a long time, he was thinking to himself, since when had he been so violent?, he had never acted on impulse, why NOW ?

Right now all he needed to do was keep his cool, yes that was the best thing to do, as a master.

Blinking his eyes several times, Cliff returned to reality, in front of him the young elf soldier remained bowed, waiting for his response.

"So… tell me what you can describe to me" he ordered in a slightly softened voice.

Shaking his head, the young soldier began to explain his route, he even pointed out the rooms and corridors to avoid, everything he needed to reach the room where the hostages were being held. When it was time for him to talk about the captive room, his eyes grew moist.

"It's cruel my lord, they tied them so that they hang with their heads towards the ground, they cut them up alive and even in these states they force them to mate with them..."

"I saw a member of the Dhakat clan tied to a post in the middle of the hall; she looked sore compared to the others, she was just beaten, but from her eyes I could see the lack of will to live my lord Please, they are the ones who allowed us to escape, help them, they will dedicate their lives to you!!"

Shivers ran down his spine, Cliff felt a wave of heat and coolness at the same time, through their soul bonds, his emotions were boiling.

A wave of anger, sadness, horror, a strong thirst for blood monopolized his blood, "how were they supposed to sort through all his emotions? » he asked himself

"Cursed soul pact!! »

By making deals with this absurd number of people, his thoughts had become unstable, because of this he had headaches, Rakahn had told him it was because of his class, since he was a monster-variant and that the soldiers under his wing were almost all of his level, he was having trouble maintaining balance and now he was forced to level up or his brain would experience information overload.

Dismissing his thoughts with a weak sigh, he looked back at the half-ogress next to him, her eyes boiling with anger, the gnashing of her teeth reached him, Cliff saw her hands tighten on her club .

Cliff approached her, putting his hand on her shoulder, the brown-eyed tomboyish steatopygian young woman looked at him, her eyes imploring him to bring her hope.

Cliff gently stroked her head while bringing her to his chest, the young woman released her army and wrapped her arms around him, it was at that moment that he realized how trembling the young woman was.

"Yadha, try to calm down, we have a plan, we will save the remains of your clan members, I promise" he said

For a moment, Cliff felt the young woman's trembling lessen, but that didn't mean he stopped stroking her head.

With a gentle kiss on her forehead, Cliff reassured the young half-ogress, breaking away from her affectionate embrace, Cliff had given her a weak, almost ironic smile.

"You are too weak right now, take care of getting rid of them from the goblin village." Cliff ordered, making sure his voice reached all the soldiers around him, without shouting too loudly so that he wouldn't be spotted.

"It's me who will infiltrate the enemy camp!" Cliff said.

"No, my lord it's too dangerous, let's proceed as we planned"

"Take me with you my lord, if I should die it right to be at your side my lord."

Rakahn, Cain and Akumu opposed the fact that he is heading into enemy territory, and alone at that.

"I have to, only I can infiltrate without being detected!!" Cliff answered them.

"I'm not going alone, and you Rakahn, you have no right to die here and I also have no intention of dying, so rid me of this goblin village, and then we will continue the second of the plan."

He looked away, Yadha, the young half-ogress was there, determined to smash the skulls of these demons, once she noticed her spying on him, she returned a forced smile.

Cliff moved closer to her for a few seconds, he put his arm around her neck.

"I'd like you to do me a favor, would you?"
