New World
rescue of clara

Alan waited outside the village until nightfall. During the wait Alan made many Heal potions and Mana Regeneration potions. Not to forget anyway, Alan also made Red Iron Spark Potion to keep watch if you have to face a big fight with Wood Elves.

Alan could see a giant bonfire in the middle of the village. Alan also activated his zoom to be able to see into the campfire area.

It was seen the Wood Elves gathered around the campfire. In front of the campfire there are 2 stilts of stone. One stage contains 2 seats that look like a throne. And one more stage there are 2 poles. It looks like a stage for execution.

Two Wood Elves went up on stage and sat on the throne seats. One of the Wood Elves looked slightly old and male. While the other Wood Elves were young and female. It could be seen with one look if the two Wood Elves who had just boarded it were father and son. Guards did not escape guard around him.

The male Wood Elf on the stage stood up and brandished his wooden stick. The Wood Elves who were around the campfire were cheering.

Clara tied her hands together was taken to the execution stage. Alan who saw Clara being brought onto the stage instantly moved closer.

Alan jumped from one tree shadow to another. With his shadowing skill, Alan could approach undetected Wood Elf guards.

Alan was now in the shadow of a nearby tree from the campfire. From where alan was, he could hear the sound of voices around the campfire and see clearly towards both stages.

"Invader... Are you the eye of the Southountain Kingdom?" Wood asked the male Elf on stage to Clara.

"No... I just happened to pass by my friend." Clara answered with a little fear. Clara's hands were tied to both poles, leaving her unable to do much.

"Liar... Answer it honestly!" One of the guards standing next to Clara directly whipped Clara towards the back of ClClara.

"God...."

Alan was furious to see Clara in the whip, but he could still control himself not to rashly attack.

"I'm not lying. I'm a citizen of Middlemist village who happened to pass by." Clara who was still in pain from the lash on her back tried to convince the Wood Elves.

"Not many reasons... Tell me the truth." The guard whipped Clara again.

"Ohhh...."

"Stop!" The female Wood Elf who was sitting on the throne chair got up from her seat.

The guard who wanted to whip Clara stopped the lash, and looked towards the beautiful female Wood Elf.

"Mr Princess... This woman is an intruder who wants to spy on our village. We can't just let it go." Said the Wood Elf that Alan had seen in the forest. From what Alan saw, the male Wood Elf looked like the head of the guards in this village.

"I see he's not lying. Why do we torture innocent people?" Reply to the female Wood Elf called the Princess.

"But the Princess..." The Wood Elf Guard Chief tried to refute but was stopped by the mark of the male Wood Elf who was on the stage.

"My daughter... What Sora said was true. We can't let intruders into our village." The male Wood Elf confirmed the words of Sora who was the guard leader.

"But dad..."

It wasn't finished that Princess Wood Elf spoke.

"Enough... The safety of these villagers is a top priority." Shoot the male Wood Elf.

The Wood Elf princess fell silent and could only stare at Clara. From his gaze implied by the words sorry, even Clara who met face to face could only sigh. As if it had resigned to the situation that befell him.

"Execute him! We can't just let intruders into this village." The Wood Elf's orders were on stage.

But not until the executioner prepares to execute Clara. One arrow shot straight towards the bonfire.

Ciu....

Duars....

The arrows that went into the bonfire instantly spread the fire in all directions. Make the whole guard and people around the campfire panic. The arrow was Alan's arrow that was tied with the Red Iron Spark potion.

"There's attack... Protect the Leader and the Princess... Everyone find shelter." Shouted the guard leader who was immediately on standby.

But he was too late. Right after alan unleashed his arrow, Alan instantly activated Shadow Stab to stand behind the male Wood Elf on the stage. Alan's dagger stuck to the neck of the Wood Elf.

The male Wood Elf who was still shocked by the bursts of bonfires did not expect there to be any aftershocks this fast and directly aimed at him.

"Don't try to fight. Trust me, my knife can be faster than the one word you want to say." Alan bullied the man's Wood Elf.

The Wood Elf knew that Alan was not speaking carelessly. He obeyed Alan's orders.

"Mr Arwen..." Shouted Sora after learning his leader was in danger.

"Dad..." The Princess beside Alan also shouted. He only realized Alan's presence after sora shouted.

Alan immediately changed his position so as not to turn his back to anyone, close his grip to Arwen's left hand, his knife also did not escape Alan shake a little so that the guards more panic. The guards who saw Alan's actions were prepared if there were the worst conditions.

"US Brother... " Shouted Clara. His face looked greatly relieved when he saw Alan coming to his rescue.

"You... Let go Mr. Arwen... Or the girl won't survive." Shouted Sora while brandishing his sword towards Clara.

"You think the girl's life is worth your boss's? Haha..." Grunts Alan.

Sora's face immediately turned pale after hearing Alan's words." What do you want?"

"Haha... Goody... Be a smart guard... Release the girl first. We're just negotiating what I want." Alan bluffed with a slight push of his knife against Arwen's neck.

"You..."

"Why? Don't wanna?" Alan pressed the knife again.

Sora just bit his own teeth and ordered his guards not to be rash.

"Good... Let the girl go."

The guards followed Alan's orders. Clara just looked at Alan, he was full of question marks why Alan just told her to leave, while Alan was still staying. Alan nodded his head. Signs that Alan has no problem if he wants to escape.

Clara walks out of the village, and searches for a safe hiding place.

"I have released the girl. Quickly release Mr. Arwen. " Pinta Sora's.

"Don't rush... Why don't we play a little?" Alan answered casually.

"You... Old fox..."Sora didn't expect Alan to be so cunning.

"Oh... Come onl... I didn't promise to let go of your leader if you set the girl free." Alan answered casually. Actually Alan was only stalling until the cooldown of Shadowing skill was completed. He would desperately need those skills to escape.

"Then what do you want? Quickly release Mr. Arwen. "

"Haha... You were the first to attack me and my friends. But why are you so panicked now?"

"Young people... What do you want? Quickly let go of me." Arwen said in panic.

"Silence old man! Don't talk too much." Alan kicked Arwen in the leg so that Arwen knelt in front of Alan.

"dad..."

"master..."

Everyone wanted to get closer but immediately stopped after seeing Alan's dagger still stuck to Arwen's neck.

"Why did you catch me and my friend? We just happened to pass by." Alan asked with a slight bluff.

Everyone was silent not daring to answer. They were afraid that if they spoke, they could be considered giving information to outsiders. And the punishment for leaking information is severe.

"Ohh... Not to answer... Alright... Then you'd rather see your leader die." Grunts Alan.

"Wait..." Shouted the female Wood Elf called the Princess.

"Puteri Freya's... " Sora tried to prevent.

"I'll tell you. But free my father first." Freya Pinta.

"You think I'm stupid? If I let you go, you'll attack me."

"No... I pledge... I'll tell you. But release my father. "

"Recents... Or..." I will no longer want to feel stale. The Shadowing Skill Alan could already use. He could run away at any time if he wanted to.

"Let me take my father's place... And I'll tell you a story while you're your prisoner." Freya Pinta.

"Mr princess..."

"Cats..."

Everyone looked at Freya who was walking closer to Alan. Freya's eyes were fixed on her father's face, Freya just nodded her head mark Freya did not mind at all to replace her father's position.

"The devoted child... Turn body!" Alan orders after Freya and Arwen's position is aligned.

Alan pulled Arwen to his feet. Alan immediately uses Shadowing to move into Freya's shadow and immediately appears behind Freya with a knife attached to Freya's neck.

"Down you... " Alans orders Arwen to leave Alan and Freya on stage.

Arwen could only obey. Though his eyes seemed to want to kill Alan.

"Good... Now tell me why you attacked us. If your answer is unsatisfactory... " Alan pressed his knife against Freya's neck.

Freya said in a quiet voice so that only Alan could hear.

"Please... Take me away from here..."
