Why level up in isekai, when you can hack your way through

Chapter 14 - The One Pulling Strings

So we began our plan.

But first... "Everyone tell your names."

...

We learned everyone's name, prepared the meal, and also our strategy against the demons.

[A Few Hours Later]

Walking with heavy footsteps...

Ack! Ack! Ack! Watch it!

Trapped in a walking cage, Belle and I were making noises the Red Orcs had imprisoned us and were transferring us to the demons' hideout.

One of the red orc soldiers' voices whispered, "Sir, we'll be there soon."

Keep walking men! We have got a good catch for demons today! The Red Orc Leader Rhibert said.

(So according to our plan the first we decided was not to immediately rush over to their hideout and attack it, instead, we wanted to launch an inside-out attack. There were many reasons for that but the most important was to meet who was pulling the string or at least to the get name of whoever giving the order in case there was a big fish.)

(We divided ourselves into three groups: Group One consisted of me, Belle, and the Red Orcs. Group Two included the Blue Lizards, Nuzma'h, and the Knights, and Group Three was made up of Rogu, Blazefoxes, and Dryads. We then proceeded to our designated locations.)

(Since red orcs were the only ones who knew the hideout's location we positioned ourselves in a cage used by the Red Orcs to transport captives while we pretended to be normal humans. I didn't know but Belle had the ability to vanish her horns and wings, so it was convenient for us not to bring Rogu for his concealing magic otherwise this plan would've had flaws.)

Thump! Ack!

One of the red orc soldiers' voices whispered again, "Sir, we've arrived."

(And then we saw the demons for the first... well considering Belle is also a demon, I guess it is the second time... but unlike Belle they were different.

(If I were to compare them to Belle in terms of strength they're pretty much weak as a fly, but their nature was evil, unlike Belle whose darkness felt like sorrow their darkness felt malicious.)

Then one of the two demons guarding the entrance said...

"What have you gotten us this time and so early?"

"Sir... we've found two humans wandering outside the forest," Rhibert answered.

"You've found them outside the forest? We haven't heard anything like that from our scouts yet... But excellent job!" the demon said.

Then he says, "Come in captain would definitely like some humans for our experiment."

...

(Our first part was successful which was to infiltrate their hideout. The next thing was to find the one in charge... and it seemed like it was their captain.)

(And so the red orcs carried us again and began walking towards the direction where the captain was...)

... Ack! (Damn, it hurts)

(And then we saw the prisoners... honestly, it was a horrifying sight to look at. They were tortured, abused, and hadn't eaten in days, all the worst things imagined were done to them including the women and children present...)

(Belle had already begun losing her cool but I gave her a sign to control for we were coming closer to the Demon's Captain... and then... we arrived.)

Fwhoosh!
