Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

A masked man approached the expedition team under the cover of night.

Living suits of armor and skeleton soldiers in rusted metal plates surrounded the humans and followed closely behind.

"It's almost time to stop." Right in front of the base camp, the masked man gestured to the living armor and skeleton soldiers.

The undead creatures carefully placed the unconscious man on the ground.

"If we put them here, will humans notice?" the girl in the loose dress asked, tilting her head.

"This is the road that the scouts passed by. Maybe some scouts will find them soon." The masked man put his hand on the girl's head and rubbed it as if to say not to worry.

At the same time, his eyes turned to the three people on the ground.

"Fortunately, he is just unconscious. He is not seriously injured." It is obvious that the man wearing the mask is Cardin.

"So, is everything over now?" Luna clapped her hands as if relieved and looked at Cardin.

Cardin chuckled and nodded slowly.

"No, there is still work to do." Having said that, Cardin returned the living armor and skeleton soldiers to the ring, and immediately looked in the direction of the orcs' habitat.

After a while. "No, it's over. Why are you here?" Behind the bushes near the orc tribe, Luna looked at Cardan with a puzzled expression and asked.

This was obviously where Cardan and Luna hid to avoid the orcs' sight.

"Didn't you say that more than half of the orcs in that tribe are subordinates of the demons?"

"and then?"

"Well, we have to get what we can before we go." Luna frowned and glared at Cardin.

"Are you planning on hunting those guys now? Even if you absorb the soul crystals or spheres and restore your magic power and physical strength, it's impossible. It's too much of a stretch."

“It’s more than just recovery.”

"Anyway." Luna glared at Cardin with sharp eyes, and Cardin smiled softly and nodded.

"Don't worry. I won't do anything. Unless it's safe." Hearing this, Luna widened her eyes and looked at Cardin blankly.

Her eyes seemed to say "What are you talking about?"

At this time, the ground began to shake, and the footsteps of hundreds of people could be heard in the distance.

"What? Is it a human?" Luna looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, and Cardin nodded in response.

"The expedition team is a little late." While Cardin and Luna were killing the lower-level demons and rescuing Klose and his companions, the expedition team did not take any action.

The commander judged that the remaining troops of the expeditionary force alone would not be able to penetrate the orcs and rescue Klose and his companions, so they had no choice but to wait for reinforcements.

"Why are those humans so slow? It's already dark, what can they do now?" Luna seemed unable to understand and puffed up her cheeks and talked to herself.

"Although rescuing the hostages is important, we can't just sit back and watch the rest of the people die." Cardin seemed to understand the expedition team and continued with a smile.

"For the expeditionary force, waiting for reinforcements is the best option. And they are coming quite quickly."

It was almost dark when Cardan first arrived at the orc tribe.

It's just that the expeditionary force is short of manpower and can't rush over right away. Cardin thought so and said to Luna.

"Now we just need to wait here. Help if you get a chance." Whaaaaaah!

As Cardin spoke to Luna, the shouts of hundreds of people could be heard from the bushes.

Looking towards the bushes, the expedition team was quickly attacking the tribe.

Soon, humans and orcs clashed and war began again.

Oh wow! Oh wow! From the beginning, the red-skinned orc champion took the lead to welcome the newly prepared crusade team.

But the expedition team didn't seem nervous at all.

"Kill them all! Don't spare any one, kill them all!"

"Look for the captured people in the tribe! Magicians try not to use area magic!" The newly prepared expedition team is different from the original one, and is mainly composed of people with abilities above 6 stars.

The Mercenary Guild, the Magician Guild, and the Knights of the Lord's Castle have also joined the expedition, so it is stronger than before.

Wahhhh! The orcs’ cries came from the darkness.

Those with strength above 6 stars came to slaughter the orcs and began to hunt them with all their strength.

Then, Cardin, who was hiding in the bushes and watching this scene, smiled meaningfully.

His gaze was not directed at the expeditionary force and the orcs that were fighting.

His eyes were fixed only on the bright red orbs floating around the fallen orc's body.

"Crazy." If this goes on, I can do nothing but sit quietly and absorb the crystallization of my soul.

The crystals of the 13 magic stones hidden under the altar and the 4 souls absorbed when rescuing Klose and his companions.

Based on these alone, Cardin thought he was strong enough.

But Cardin was not satisfied, he turned his head.

How can he absorb more soul crystals? After some thought, he chose to hide in the bushes, cheer for the expedition team, and wait.

"One more push! It's almost over now!" Soon, a voice came from the bushes that everything was almost over.

Cardin poked his head out again and checked the battlefield through the gaps in the grass.
