A few days passed by after we joined the rebel faction. Due to the food that we stole from the Castellan, the hunger problems are solved temporarily and it will be enough to last until the end of the month. It's not a permanent solution so we made a garden that can produce resources even in an enclosed space. Thankfully, my druid abilities have the capability to make plants grow well and produce well so it helped a lot to make it. The only thing that is left is for them to manage it properly so that it will yield good results.

As for the other things, we are slowly taking our time with them. The last few days were all gathering materials needed for the fortification of the rebel's defensive base. We also plan to expand so that the space will not be cramped and will look like a proper town.

I also sometimes help maintain the weapons of the rebels. It helps me maintain and at least gain some experience in my Blacksmithing ex job and to see some designs I might take inspiration from.

But all the easy things will come to an end. After the relaxing quests, Alain finally had a new quest that does not involve making the village prosper. The three of us gathered in Alain's office.

"The other day, 20 members of the foraging team are taken captive by some of the Castellan's troops. Almost all of them are fallen but there are two members who are not but a part of the family of the fallen angels. Thankfully, they didn't have any reason to kill them but it seems they are planning to sell them as slaves since they are preparing some slave collars."

"So our mission is to save them?" I asked.

"Not just saving them. This time, we will enforce more force. If they are that desperate for attention then we don't need to be kind either. They dare endanger the lives of everyone. I don't like the way they are handling things. We are going to fix up their f*cked ways and let them see that we rebels are not someone they can easily mess up with," Alain's voice has a hint of anger but he is concealing it.

"Are you sure this is the right thing to do? I know that we should do this to prevent this from happening but what if they retaliate?"

"They can retaliate all they want. They did the first thing first, we will strike back."

"So, we can start the quest anytime but there is also a time limit of 3 days which means either we start now or we start tomorrow or the next day. What should we do? We will be fighting against NPCs this time around, are you guys ready and prepared for this fight?" Sigma asked the two of us.

"I am always ready to do action. We are a bit inactive in action right now so having this quest is good. The faction standing reward is also big too and the reward is also quite good, we shouldn't waste our time and go head over there immediately," Harmless Sparrow answered then suggested we start the quest immediately.

"Huh, so we are on the same page?" I nodded at her suggestion.

"Shouldn't we go for a plan on how to get in?" Sigma sounds worried especially how bloodthirsty Harmless Sparrow is when it comes to "killing".

"We plan as we go. Haven't you done that before?" I looked at Sigma, knowing she has already done it.

"Well..."

"Then that's settled. Let's get going and kick some *ss!"

And with that, Sigma was dragged by us two who wanted to see some blood in a fight to fulfill the mission.

Site of the mission

The three of us have seen visuals of people in a large fishing cabin. It might look like one but the angels are clearly showing no signs of going to fish besides, angels are known to not bother fishing much at all, and only the fallen bothers to do so. So this is the first time someone other than the fallen occupied a fishing cabin. Not only that but every one of them is armed with weapons. There is no dungeon near the area and fishes are not that hostile unless they are monster fishes. Having weapons in a fishing cabin is very suspicious already.

"Are you guys ready?" Harmless Sparrow already lit up her swords.

"Hey, are you guys sure about this? Aren't we being a little bit hasty on this one?" Sigma is having a hard time trying to stop us and at least help us reconsider our actions.

"Hey, hey. Let's just keep going and blasting them away. There is no need to worry if everyone you are worrying about is gone, right? Let's go!"

Seeing Harmless Sparrow run towards the cabin, Sigma can only sigh. I followed next as I agree with Sparrow's abrupt method. Being calculating is not gonna work in a rescue operation unless they are planning to kill them. Seeing that they are going to sell them as slaves, they are still trying to keep them alive. So there is no point in being sneaky. And Alain wanted to let the Castellan know that they are messing with the wrong people.

Sparrow jumped through the bushes, causing the guard to get caught off guard and killed by her sword before she can react. Sigma and I immediately back her up by eliminating the others on the side who witness the killing.

"You little pieces of sh*t! Come on out!" Harmless Sparrow then released bright red flames on her body, part of the Aura abilities of the Scarlet Swordsman skill tree.

The ruckus made the remaining armed angels come out from where they are hiding.

"We are under attack!"

"Kill them all! There are only three of them!"

"Don't let them get away!"

Due to the provocation of Harmless Sparrow, the angels are now in a disarray regarding what to do. Sigma is also worried.

"Hey, Sigma. Go ahead and rescue everyone inside while the guards are still intimidated by Sparrow's little taunt, kill any enemies on sight."

When Sigma heard this, she nodded and immediately kicked the door open and entered the cabin while Sparrow and I are left to be the last defense against them.

Sparrow immediately strikes the incoming soldiers, kills them as fast as they can, and not letting them speak. As for me, I easily brought most of them down with a quick swing of my weapon. I don't need to even bother using skills as attacking them is too easy. They don't pose a threat to me who is on level 200.

A few seconds later, Sigma returned.

"Bladeheart, the count is missing one person. What are we going to do?"

"Go ask them, I will go ask some of the guards here. Just ignore Sparrow for now as she is still enjoying her task."

I think I already have an idea of why we are missing one more person from the group. It seems there are traitors from their group and I don't think I am just making this up. There are some betrayals that are totally scripted enough and this quest is not an exception.

After a few seconds, Sigma returned and she frowned.

"They were betrayed by someone. As a result, they were captured by the enemy. There is a mole in the group!"

"So someone is betraying them? Damn, let's worry about that later. Get ready, we will be teleporting back to the base."

I opened the inventory and pull the [Area Teleport] scroll.

"Sparrow! Are you done there? Let's get going!"

"Not yet! Someone strong showed up!"

Hearing that, I shoved the scroll to Sigma.

"Teleport everyone back to the base, Sparrow and I will catch up later. Prioritize their safety first!"

"Alright. If you guys take too long to return, I will be coming back here," Sigma took the scroll and stood at the center of the hostages before tearing the scroll.

After hearing that there is a strong guy, I think I already have an idea who it was. Especially if the situation is about the kidnapping of the fallen.

Going ready for my weapon, I jumped out of the building and joined Sparrow who is fighting the slave trader.

A hulking man who has tiny wings on his back. But he has a deformed look on his face, looking like he is a monster than an angel.

"UGYAAAAHAHHHH!" The slave trader screamed but because of his speech pattern, he sounded bad.

"Be careful on him, Sparrow. This guy can be strong and can beat us up if we are not careful!"

"Yeah, I know. He used a skill earlier that almost got me. We just needed to destroy his health bar as fast as we can!"

I nodded and I cast [Kekkai] on his legs, stopping him from moving.

"Sparrow! Kill him now!"
