The cave was now in a complete mess. The bandits, facing an attack from an unknown source, were utterly chaotic. In the confusion, only their own people were constantly dying. It felt as if staying in the cave for another second meant being killed at any moment. In such an atmosphere, the bandits in the cave fled outwards.
The chaos created in the cave was even better than he had expected. Especially after deliberately extinguishing torches and lights, humans' composure in the dark was even worse than Goblins'. The previous extermination of Goblins in the cave felt like a rehearsal for this battle; this time, Yor executed it even more decisively.
Seeing that the situation had reached the desired effect, Yor carried Niu Zida and quickly stealthily moved towards the place where the children had been held. Humans' perception in the dark was not as good as Goblins', and with such a chaotic situation, Yor even felt that finding her way through was easier than before, not even needing to hide. She could just charge through, and if anyone blocked her way, she would just deal with a few more.
Mr. Niu Zida and Yor took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the place where the children had been held. Seeing that the three thieves guarding the place were already gone, it seemed that Misato Shizuku had succeeded. So, Mr. Niu Zida quickly ordered Yor to leave by the way they came and try to catch up with them. After all, it was too dangerous for Misato Shizuku to protect the children alone.
Yor, carrying Mr. Niu Zida, quickly caught up with Misato Shizuku, who was leading more than a dozen children, hand in hand, one after another. The road was extremely chaotic everywhere, but the children simply closed their eyes to avoid external influence, which, however, slowed them down.
"Misato Shizuku, we're here to support you."
Misato Shizuku was still troubled about how to protect the children and quickly get out of the cave in such a chaotic environment. Hearing Mr. Niu Zida's voice behind her, she felt a trace of comfort in her heart. This was the first time she felt Mr. Niu Zida's voice was so pleasant. It was really good to have someone to support her at this time.
"I'm here…"
"I know. You continue to lead the children forward. Yor and I will guard the rear."
Hearing Mr. Niu Zida's voice, Misato Shizuku, relieved, held the children's hands and quickened her pace. She had originally worried that if she went too fast, the children behind her wouldn't be able to keep up, so Misato Shizuku would stop every now and then to check on the group. Now, with Mr. Niu Zida and Yor supporting the rear, she no longer had to worry. If she occasionally encountered thieves in the chaos on the road, she would just kill them directly. In this way, Misato Shizuku quickly led the front children out of the cave entrance. A little later, Mr. Niu Zida also rode Yor out, bringing the children from the rear of the group. The two groups met, and there were exactly eighteen children, not one less.
"It seems even more successful than expected. That's great."
The uncle, who had been hiding aside, saw Mr. Niu Zida and his group come out and quickly came out to meet them. He counted the children, especially his precious grandson, who was also there. He hugged his child, overjoyed.
"Now is not the time to celebrate. Misato Shizuku, you take the children and the uncle and leave here quickly. Yor, we will continue back into the cave."
"Didn't we already succeed? Why go back?"
"The chaos in the cave is only temporary. If we leave, they will soon realize something is wrong. Once they stabilize, they have more people, and if they really chase us, it will be harder for us to protect these children. Now, you take the children and leave quickly. Yor and I will go back and continue to create chaos in the cave to delay them longer."
Hearing Mr. Niu Zida's meticulous arrangements, Misato Shizuku now felt a hint of admiration for him. In her recent actions with Mr. Niu Zida, his arrangements and analyses had been well-reasoned. Mr. Niu Zida's true nature was far from being just a lewd, short Goblin.
"Alright, be careful."
"Don't worry, I can't bear to leave you, my wife Misato Shizuku."
"Idiot, I'm not your wife."
"Alright, wife, you take the people and go quickly. Yor, let's go back and continue killing."
Misato Shizuku rolled her eyes at Mr. Niu Zida, knowing that it was not the time for them to flirt. Misato Shizuku quickly protected the children and the uncle and left the cave, while Mr. Niu Zida rode Yor back into the cave, continuing to create chaos to buy Misato Shizuku time to retreat.
Yor began another continuous rampage in the cave. Screams were constant, and Yor didn't know how many people she had killed, only feeling the smell of blood begin to permeate the cave. After more than an hour, Mr. Niu Zida saw that the casualties were about enough, and Misato Shizuku should have taken the children and run far away. Only then did he pinch Yor's big breast, signaling her that she could withdraw from the cave, as staying in the cave for a long time was not good for him either.
After leaving the cave, Mr. Niu Zida quickly had Yor catch up with Misato Shizuku and the others. After all, they couldn't go far with children, and they caught up with them in no time. Some children cried that they were tired and wanted to rest for a while, but Mr. Niu Zida firmly disagreed:
"Those thieves might catch up at any time. If everyone wants to go home, just bear with it a little longer and walk back with us."
It was dark in the cave earlier, and with Yor's tall figure guarding the children from behind, everyone hadn't noticed. Now, the children saw that the Goblin being held by a beautiful older sister could actually speak human language, and they were quite frightened. If it weren't for the uncle from the same village being nearby, these children would probably have scattered and run away in fear.
"Children, it's better to go back to the village early. Your grandparents, fathers, and mothers are all worried about you."
Yor and Misato Shizuku also joined in persuading these children. In the end, what the beautiful older sister said was more effective. The children listened to their advice, endured the cold of the night, and followed the uncle all night. Finally, they returned to the village at dawn. At this point, many children couldn't help but cry when they reached the edge of the village. After all, this night had been too thrilling and exciting, and after their emotions relaxed, they naturally needed a process of release.
Many people in the village knew that Mr. Niu Zida had taken people to rescue the children, and many had been waiting at the village entrance all night. When they saw the children safely brought back, they rushed up to greet them. This time, no one disliked Mr. Niu Zida because he was a Goblin; everyone was full of gratitude for him. However, Mr. Niu Zida shook his head and said:
"Now is not the time for thanks. Take me to Aponia. After everyone takes the children home, prepare for battle. The most difficult time is yet to come."
Mr. Niu Zida had long judged that although these thieves had experienced a night of chaos, as long as they discovered the children were taken away at dawn, they would definitely know that it was an attack organized by the villagers. They were clear about the village's situation, and they would definitely return...
