Guns In A Another World: Guns Isekai

Chapter 12.1 - The First Quest Part 1

We departed the next morning and quickly hasten our pace. We receive information that the villagers are left to defend themselves from goblins who are harassing the village for almost a week now. And they need help fast, as their casualty rate is going higher as what the reports said.

Normally travelling to village will take someone three days , but with the right weather and speed, we can get there in only two days. I modified our wagon for a bit, so it is lighter and comfortable to ride on, thus the horses will have lesser weight to pull.

That night, away from the public, Liana and I decided to tell Serefina about my situation, that I am not from this world. At first she is a little shocked, of course. But then as we continue our chat about me, she gave me another lead to why I am here in this world.

Serefina told us, "You see, in Elven folklore or history, it is believed that humans from another world, or higher humans, formed the very foundation of Elven Kingdom, from values to weapon of choice, it is said that these humans possess great strengths that help to create the Elven Kingdom and its thousand years rule. And it seems that it might be true afterall, if I will believe you Karl."

I replied, "Evedinces are right in front of you! The magic tools we are using and very exotic to this world is just basic weapons of a soldier back at my world."

After that we agreed that we will keep it a secret between ourselves. After hearing the Elven folklore, I thought that maybe the persons she is talking about aren't different from, from her words they seem like they know basic RPG knowledge and tgey embedded it to this world. I need to have a little chat with the if I have the chance.

We arrived at the outskirts of the village, half of it are already burnt and noticeably a makeshift wall towers of what remains of the village. The mining village is at the feet of the mountain, giving them natural protection almost 180 degrees because of the high cliffs. We were greeted by battered warriors, probably villagers turned warriors. The whole place is chaotic and dirty, entering past the makeshift wall reveals dozens of injured men and women alike. The children and some women are treating the wounded. It is very nauseating for me, even though I killed men with my both hands, I have not seen both blood and dirt combined and produces this very hell like scene, it's like I am inside on the trenches on the frontlines on World War 1. The stench of the dead can be noticed even outside the village, but when you are inside it is much worse.

I am really inside a battle of life and death. We were then guided to the house of the village chief wherein we were welcomed dearfully. Although the chief and the village elders are somewhat dissappointed as they are requesting an army of adventurers but all they got are a dude with two of his girls.

They explained to me the situation. Last week the goblin attack began when goblin scouts raided the village, the attack was very unsuccessful but it triggers waves after waves of attacks, the nearby town offers help as they sent in guards and adventurers for almost four days, and when the fifth night arrived the biggest wave of attack was launched spearheaded by an higher orc. This orc is able to communicate to humans and give orders to other goblins. This is where the combined defenses of the adventurers and guards fell, suffering a high casualty lead to the both of the parties to withdrew their forces.

And even though the adventurers and guards forced the villagers to escape and flea the don't and now here we are the village was able to hold off another two nights of attacks. And tonight they are expecting the higher orc to show to deal the final blow. And as much I try to comprehend why the villagers don't want to flea, their reason is either way they will end up being dead. The mining village offers the villagers and decent life as the minerals mined in this mountains are high value, and leaving towards to a another place will surely mean death as because th last few decades wasn't really a great years to live on the Confederate, the war with the Kingdom entails very high cost meaning more taxes to pay resulting to small towns and villages to suffer.
