Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 213

The girls returned a few minutes later, holding what appears to be a tool used for vehicle repair.

"We didn’t find any, but we found this", Diana showed the tool. "Looks like a distraction or..."

"It is a distraction", Aaron interrupted her.

He turned towards the trucks, "I know you are still inside. Come outside now and surrender, or we will kill you if we have to come over there", Aaron shouted.

The girls at first didn’t understand, but they quickly pieced it together. The tool was a distraction to attract them away, giving whoever survived a way to escape.

Diana dres her bow, while Erika prepared her daggers, ready to pounce on the surviving slavers.

A few seconds of silence followed, which was broken by the doors of the driving cabin opening.

"We surrender, don’t shoot", two voices came out from the open doors.

"We won’t, as long as you surrender and play no tricks", Aaron assured them.

The two drivers stepped out of the trucks, with their hands up in the air, gesturing that they were surrendering.

"On your knees now and keep those up. Any move from your side would be dealt with without any mercy, understand?" Aaron shouted.

The two drivers complied. There was no other option for them to choose but to act as their captors say.

They knew this might come one day and were preparing to escape such a day, but how could they have known that this would happen as they were so close to their goal. A few months, even a few weeks, would have been enough for them to make their escape from these lives, but here they were caught in the act with no way out.

"Do you have any ropes or anything to bind them?" Aaron asked the girls.

Erika and Dian looked at Aaron with a frown as if saying, "Why are you asking us? Do you think we have some weird fetishes?"

"No need to give me stink eye. You can just say that you don’t have", Aaron turned away from them before remembering about the prisoners.

"The prisoners, go release them. They should be terrified about what was happening. Get some binds from there, which can be used to bind these two", Aaron spoke.

The girls went on to open the trucks and release the villagers one by one.

The villagers felt happiness after many days, seeing that they were rescued. For days, since the day those bandits came to their village and massacred their old and warriors, they only felt fear and sadness.

They were worried, and when the slavers arrived, their worst fear came to light.

They heard that they would be sold by the slavers later and were transported to the auction place. A few minutes into their journey, they started to hear sounds, sounds of battle. They feared whatever caused the battle would kill them, but to their relief, it was rescuers who saved their lives.

"Now that we have rescued the villagers, what should we do?" Erika asked.

Aaron thought for a while, "These villagers are locals. So, they might know the terrain and can return to their villages or nearby ones, but we have two prisoners, who are the problem. If we let them take those two with them to hold, with how frustrated they look, it won’t be a wise choice".

"So, let’s return to the village. The chief can take care of the villagers and the prisoners. He can contact the local authority to come and collect the prisoners. They can collect whatever information that these two have and also take care of the villagers as refugees, as I am pretty sure that their village is gone".

"There are no old ones, nor were there any men at all. The only male prisoners are young children. So, when their villages were raided, the chance of the bandits getting rid of everyone else is very high. Anyway, it’s not our duty. Let’s the officials from Woodstone city worry about the matters".

"Now the real question was, do you know how to drive?" he asked.

Before awakening, he was young and wasn’t able to learn driving and after awakening, he became so busy with improving himself. So, he had no time learning how to drive.

"No", the girls shook their heads. They were girls after all, and their families didn’t feel the need for them to learn.

With no other choice, Aaron turned to the villagers that they just rescued, "Does any one of you know how to drive these vehicles?" he asked.

A few raised their hands, claiming that they knew a little and that was enough for the cars, but not the trucks.

With no other choice, they gave a chance to the truck drivers to be the drivers for those trucks.

The trio, with the help of the villagers and the drivers, loaded all the dead slavers into one truck, while a few villagers took the cars, while the remainder went back inside the container, this time not as prisoners, but as free people.

The tires were quickly replaced with the spares that were in the back, and the area was cleaned to look as if the battle hadn’t happened here.

They can leave the dead behind, but that would be giving a heads-up to the bandits that their operation was compromised. The trio didn’t want the bandits to know that.

Their mission was to clear the bandits. So, they intend to clear them out. If they escape, they would just do the same things that they did here, somewhere else. They couldn’t let that happen.

Once everything was cleared, the vehicles moved.

The trucks were driven by the captured truck drivers, under the supervision of Aaron and Erika.

The cars were driven by the villagers, while Diana took a seat in the first car as their guide.

The villagers might know the broken roads, but their destination is the village that issued the mission, not any other village.

As soon as they dropped the villagers, the trio intended to return to watch the base and settle all accounts with them as soon as possible.
