In terms of the game, Rebecca was a higher-ranked character of the same type as Lily Depp.

It wasn't about comparing a berserker who used any weapon with a spearman who coolly and intricately handled a spear.

It was because their life approaches were similar.

Lily, who alternated between adventurer and mercenary tasks, and Rebecca, who acted as an adventurer while also leading a large mercenary group.

The reason Rebecca got involved in this linked quest was also because of that mercenary group.

-If it's a linked quest, why is Rebecca here?

-Is it some kind of abduction event again?

-What happened overnight when the stream was off?

-If Rebecca kidnapping Roland is skipped again, I'll write it in the will.

-As soon as I turned on the stream, there's ruins instead of wasteland.

Is that Roland?

Rebecca, why are you here?

Why wouldn't I be?

She still seemed a bit upset.

However, it was fortunate that she could now be reasoned with.

If it were the wilder days, she would've acted out uncontrollably.

It was funny to feel relieved about being able to communicate with someone on the same side.

Before she received stars as a gacha character, Rebecca wasn't a beast-woman but a pure beast.

After confirming Rebecca's face, the party silently dispersed to rescue the hostages.

It looked like the bandits, who had teamed up with the orcs, had been dealt with as corpses lay scattered on the ground.

The party naturally scattered, turning their backs to Rebecca.

Given that the party clearly remembered Rebecca kidnapping me in the forest, they all seemed to understand she wasn't someone easy to talk to.

They recognized that Rebecca was someone who would charge when angry and attack when provoked.

"Ah, damn it, chasing is a hassle but it turned out okay. Take care of the aftermath."

"No, what the hell is going on?"

"What do you mean, 'what'? Damn it. I heard there was a new brand of cigarettes at my regular store, so I sent one of my subordinates. Then I hear this bullshit about him getting captured by orcs. It's ridiculous. How did he get abducted by orcs, not eaten by some beast?

Uh, hehe... Hello?

"You son of a b*tch, explain the situation and help him clean up.

"Me?!"

"Should I do it then? Do you want me to not only wipe your ass but also cook you a meal? You want to get hit until you look like an orc?

No, ma'am!

Instead of answering, what Rebecca presented was a feeble-looking man, laughing nervously while being gripped by the throat.

His slim body and glasses dangling on his face proved he wasn't the physical type but more of a brainy type.

He likely handled accounting and supplies in Rebeccas mercenary group.

The non-combat personnel in charge of supplies seem to have been kidnapped by orcs while they were heading to Ertta for Rebecca's errands.

Understandably, Rebecca would find this situation unacceptable.

Indeed, it is quite absurd for someone from Rebecca's mercenary group, a hundred members strong, to be kidnapped just for buying tobacco leaves.

Most of Rebecca's party consists of senior adventurers, and the majority of her mercenaries are strong intermediate-level fighters.

"Although I came alone, I brought means of communication. Thanks to the orcs and bandits being too dumb to recognize my badge was a magic tool, I managed to contact help right away."

"So, who are those people?"

"Those adventurers? Like me, they were kidnapped and dragged here, but right around when Rebecca was arriving, they suddenly broke free from their bindings and caused a commotion. I guess they timed it right. Crisis turned into an opportunity, right?"

If we summarize the chatterbox mercenary's explanation, the incident unfolded in a rather absurd manner.

There's an Orc Chieftain who's made the wastelands his base and is 'infecting' wild orcs.

He started indiscriminately kidnapping citizens from nearby western regions.

Moreover, he specifically targets villagers and small groups of merchants, completely ignoring large armed forces and mercenary groups.

Even if they infected the wild orcs into 'magic' orcs, their numbers are still limited.

The mercenary assumed it was probably an attempt to minimize the loss of combat power.

However, what the Orc Chieftain failed to consider was that among these 'easy targets' was this talkative mercenary.

And that there was a high-end magical tool that allowed direct communication from the western wastelands to the adventurer's city.

Having Rebecca's direct contact due to the mission to deliver fresh tobacco, the mercenary reported,

"I've been kidnapped by orcs..."

and had to hear all sorts of insults.

Lily's party members were also kidnapped by these orcs.

"Derek? Richard? No way, you guys were captured by the orcs?"

"No! It was for the sake of the villagers!"

"What are you talking about?"

"The orcs used hostages, you see? They attacked us because we were few in number. When the situation turned against them, they threatened a child with a knife!"

Even though they were intermediate adventurers, they got involved because the family traveling with them was taken hostage.

What followed is what we witnessed.

It hasnt even been half a year since the alcohol carriage was looted by orcs, and now a poor soul, who went to buy tobacco, was kidnapped by orcs, along with his tobacco.

Rebecca, someone who wouldn't let even the smallest slight pass, was eagerly waiting for her tobacco supply before she entered the tower.

When she heard the news, she dashed to the West with fury in her eyes.

Things like orcs kidnapping humans, giving food and women to bandits in exchange for labor, or the orcs inside the tower infecting the orcs outside with magic all trivial matters.

Trample, hit, and destroy.

Rebecca, infuriated, obliterated the dwelling place of the orcs that angered her.

Amid the chaos, Derek, Richard, and Eileen, Lily's companions, freed themselves and fought the orcs

I almost felt sorry for the orcs, as the three of them leveled up in succession.

They crossed over from intermediate to senior adventurers.

"Oh? You've reached the senior level!"

"It's not just me! We're all senior adventurers now!"

One of the top-ranked adventurers of the 43rd floor went into a frenzy, trampling on tents and supplies, while a party of adventurers suddenly awakened to the senior level and began hunting down orcs in perfect coordination.

[Streamer Hanna stole some milk from the Wasteland Tavern donated 10,000 won!]

If I were an orc, I'd rage quit.

"Thank you for the 10,000 won. So, a clever orc kidnapped three adventurers with 99% experience and then everything just exploded everywhere? Wasn't this a quest that would have resolved itself?"

-Still, it was a valuable experience

-Valuable experience: Roland luggage

-Evolving from stationary to portable lighting might be the actual reward?

-Quiero un robot grande y maravilloso.*

In such chaos, no matter how smart the orcs may be, what can they do?

They can only use humans, who were once their subordinates, as bait and escape.

The abandoned subordinates either scatter to find their own way or use the captives as hostages.

Lily's party can't chase to save the captives, and Rebecca, well, she was only there to relieve her stress by breaking everything.

"What should we do, Roland? Should we follow them?"

"No. How about we leave the rest to the Knights Division? There are many people here, so I think we should return to the city for now."

"The Knights? Hmm, true. Maintaining public order is the responsibility of the Western nobles, after all."

And so, the linked quest comes to an absurd end.

[There was a unique orc rallying other orcs in the western wastelands.]

[According to the survivors, this creature corrupted wild orcs with a strange magic.]

[A capability to mutate creatures outside the tower, turning them into like the monsters inside, what in the world?]

Leaving behind unsolved mysteries.

"Oh, for now, the quest seems to be completed. But the text is written as if it's hinting at a sequel, like a post-credits scene."

Han Se-ah's quest ended with some unresolved matters, and Lily, along with her newly evolved companions, left our party.

"Ah, Roland! What made you contact us using expensive magic communication?"

"I found the orcs from the Obernu Forest."

"...What?"

After some discussion, we decided to prioritize helping the women who were assaulted and the men who were captured instead of chasing the orcs.

However, we couldn't just ignore this threat.

Even if our party decides to return to the tower and start climbing from the 31st floor, those orcs need to be dealt with.

It was passed by in the chaos, but the ability to infect monsters with magic, transforming living beings into mana stone-based mutants?

Clearly a dangerous and ominous power.

We can't just let something like that roam freely in the Northwestern Wastelands.

"The orcs who fled from the tower to the Obernu Forest have been kidnapping people in the Northwestern side of the Wastelands. These creatures have learned to use humans as hostages."

"...Like they did with our youngest?"

"Yes. We couldn't chase because of the captives. But if those orc bastards resurface and start kidnapping people again, others might end up investigating where they're coming from."

If the kingdom's mages start a thorough investigation, they'll discover the orcs turn into mana stones on death and trace their origin back to the Obernu Forest.

This was a kind of threat.

If you don't clean up this mess now, it won't be the adventurers facing the consequences, but the Knights Division.

"...Thanks for letting us know, Roland. I'll buy you a drink when you come to the capital."

The day after parting ways with the others in Ertta and communicating with James Sullivan, rumors spread about the Knights Division suddenly marching westward to subjugate the Wastelands.

It's all theirs now, whether it's the servants of the Demon King or some other threat.
