I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 46: Setting up camp

That one ambush was the only outlier of this trip, the rest of the trip was almost too quiet.

When we arrived at the area that was on the map, the C Rank leader immediately stopped our group and sent out the scouts to check the surrounding area.

Not long after, they came back with reports of an orc camp.

No one was surprised by this since this was what they had been looking for.

An orc camp, that was the sign that an Orc King had appeared.

The orcs would live in small groups or just live on their own, only gathering with their mates and children. If they suddenly started living together in a camp like this, it meant that there was something that had gathered them all together.

An Orc General wouldn't be enough for that.

Only an Orc King would be able to gather up orcs on this scale.

So that meant that the Orc King was surely in the orc camp as well.

Since their target was here, there was no reason for them to run around like headless chickens looking for that target.

The only problem was that the Orc King was deep in the orc camp and the orc camp was filled with many orcs. Even if they had brought many Awakeners, it would be too much for them to fight.

They had to figure out a way to lure out the Orc King and kill it, while also scattering all of the orcs that had been gathered in the camp.

At the same time, they were certain that it wouldn't just be a single Orc General that was in this break zone. There should be other Orc Generals there as well, so they had to figure out how to fight them as well.

In short, they needed more information before they could start doing anything to the orcs.

So for now, the C Rank leader came to the decision to set up camp nearby.

The orc camp was much bigger than they had expected and if they handled this rashly, it would result in many casualties.

As the leader, the one that everyone trusted with their lives, he couldn't accept this kind of loss.

Instead of charging in, they would take some time to observe the orcs and see if there was something about the camp that they could exploit.

Of course, none of that had anything to do with us.

There were those that had special abilities for that, so it was better to leave it to them.

For us porters, our job was to take care of the camp itself.

The camp was set up in a cave not far away from the orc camp. This place was well hidden with a cave providing shelter and a source of clean water nearby in the form of a pond.

With all of these things, it was easy for us to set up the camp.

As for the things that we needed to set up camp, they were in my bag.

The others were carrying things for other situations and were carrying material from the Orc General, I was the only one that was carrying the things that we needed to set up camp just in case.

This was their way of taking care of the newbie.

But what they didn't know was…I had been cheating.

In the bag that had been given to me, there was the Storage Ring.

While it looked like I had packed my things in my bag, in reality, I had put it all in the Storage Ring that I had also placed in the bag.

The Storage Ring was different since it was a different space, so the weight wasn't transferred. It was as if I wasn't even carrying those things and just carrying the Storage Ring, so it was much easier on me than the other porters.

Still, I pretended to reach into the bag and pulled out the items that we needed.

These items were also bigger than the size of the bag since the bags we were given were special bags that had the space inside of them widened. It was a form of spatial magic, but it was on a lower level than the Storage Ring since it was just a simple expansion instead of creating a separate space.

Once the camp had been set up, Su Chen took the lead by cooking for us.

It turned out that one really couldn't judge a book by its cover.

After all, a rough man like Su Chen definitely didn't seem like he was someone that could cook. However, I was surprised to find that he not only knew how to cook, he was a masterchef.

I couldn't stop my hands as I ate the dishes that he put in front of me.

I was so focused on eating that I didn't notice the one strange thing that had appeared.

Only when I started feeling full did I see…that the Ice Princess was sitting by me, eating Su Chen's food with a happy smile on her face.

Su Chen didn't seem to mind at all that the Ice Princess was here and was even taking orders for more dishes from her.

Seeing the way that I looked at her, the Ice Princess just said with a smile, "It's good, isn't it?"

When I heard this, all I could do was nod in a daze.

The Ice Princess then said with the same smile, "This is why I can't give up Su Chen as my personal porter! I'll die if I don't get his food."

Su Chen couldn't help blushing when he heard this, but then he said, "Miss Bing, you won't get any more for praising me. You know that we only have so much food and we have to ration it."

The Ice Princess pouted out her lips and puffed her cheeks when she heard this, but she didn't complain since she knew that he was right.

As for me, I just sat there with a bitter smile on my face.

I did want the chance to talk to the Ice Princess, but I never thought that I would be talking to her like this…

It really was a surreal feeling.

I guess one really couldn't judge a book by its cover.
