Well… Nothing much happened on the way back aside from the few times we had to knock out the Off-Worlder when he woke up.
He was then handed over to the Knights without any problem and we turned in the quest uneventfully.
Err… Ok, maybe not that uneventfully because…
"You… The nine of you… Took out this many Orcs… On your own?" The Guild staff muttered in disbelief.
In front of her were all the Mana Crystals that we had extracted out of the Orcs from the Stronghold.
When Emilia found out that we could extract Mana Crystals out from the Orcs that the Off-Worlder summoned, she had suggested tying him up to a tree and forcing him to summon more Orcs just so that we could farm the Mana Crystals from him.
I shot down that idea pretty quickly since the risk was not worth it.
Who knows if he would summon something even bigger than an Orc and then escape using that.
