I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 47: Orc camp

This relaxing dinner time didn't last long as the C Rank leader and some others came to find the Ice Princess.

Though he was the leader of the group in name, everyone knew that it was actually the Ice Princess that was in charge.

So they came to find her to discuss what to do tomorrow.

They also wanted to move to a more secure location, but the Ice Princess rejected this.

"I'm still in the middle of eating and I won't move until I'm finished."

The C Rank leader and the others looked at her with a helpless look since they knew that they wouldn't be able to change her mind. So in the end, they had no choice but to sit down and discuss it here.

However, there wasn't a lack of disdainful looks directed in my direction and in the direction of the other porters.

Seeing this, I was about to stand up and leave. However, before I could, the Ice Princess suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "Sit and finish your meal."

All of us couldn't help looking at her with surprised looks. I was the one that was the most caught off guard by this.

However, it didn't seem like she would back down on this.

So in the end, I had no choice but to sit down and the C Rank leader and the ones following him also sat down.

This time, they completely ignored me as they reported on the situation of the orc camp.

As I listened to the report from the side, I couldn't help slowly knitting my brows.

What I didn't notice was that the Ice Princess had been secretly watching me out of the corner of her eyes. When she saw that my brows had knit after hearing about the situation of the orc camp, there was a faint sparkle that appeared in her eyes.

The situation of the orc camp was worse than we had thought.

The orc camp was at least three times as big and had four times as many orcs as predicted.

With all of these orcs, it was impossible for the scouts to sneak in to find out the situation of the camp. After all, there were just too many orcs and there was a limit to their stealth ability.

So in the end, they weren't able to find the Orc King inside of the camp.

The C Rank leader then said, "We should take another day to watch the camp and see if we can pick them off one by one. We have plenty of people that we can surround the camp with and attack them from all directions so that they have no idea what's happening."

The Ice Princess didn't react to this suggestion from the C Rank leader which made him sweat a bit.

But in the end, the Ice Princess said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm sure that everyone is tired, so let's all get a good night's rest before deciding."

The C Rank leader and the others with him were surprised by this, but they agreed to her suggestion since they knew that she was right. They had been trekking through the forest the entire time and watching over the orc camp, so even they were feeling a bit tired. They could only imagine how the D Rankers were feeling.

Since they had time, there was no need to rush and it was better to rest while they could.

With this, the C Rank leader and the others bowed to the Ice Princess before leaving the tent.

Once they were gone, the Ice Princess revealed a look of disdain.

Not a single person here dared to say a word as they waited for her to say something.

Since I had already finished my food, I didn't want to get involved in this matter any longer and stood up to leave.

But once again, before I could, the Ice Princess stopped me.

She said, "Wait, let me ask you something."

I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this. I even looked around myself to make sure that she wasn't talking about anyone else.

But she was looking right at me, so it was clear that she was talking to me.

After a moment of hesitation, I asked, "Is there something that I can help you with, Miss Bing?"

The Ice Princess narrowed her eyes to look at me before saying, "What do you think we should do about the orc camp?"

Once her voice fell, everyone here couldn't help looking at her with a shocked and confused look. The one that had the most confused look on their face was me since I couldn't understand why she was asking me this.

However, the Ice Princess just looked at me as if she was waiting for an answer.

I didn't know what to make of this situation at first and I began hesitating on what to do.

But in the end, I came to a conclusion that this was my chance to make an impression on the Ice Princess.

While it would be like walking on thin ice since I didn't know what she wanted to hear from me, it was still a chance to show off. I believed that I would be able to leave a good impression with my intelligence.

Taking a deep breath, I said, "I think that we shouldn't waste any time in taking down the orc camp."

The Ice Princess gave a nod when she heard this before saying, "But how do you plan on taking it down? It isn't that easy to take down this orc camp after all."

I gave a nod of affirmation before simply saying, "We burn it down."

When the people around me heard this, they all revealed confused looks as they couldn't understand what I was saying.

However, the Ice Princess' eyes lit up when she heard this.

"It seems that I was right about you. Alright, let's hear your plan."
