Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 76: CHAPTER 76 – Moving Deeper into the Forest.

Scouting and Raiding.

Both of them were different terms with different meanings in the Raider world.

Scouting was something that required a small group of strong people to enter a gate and cover the most area they could. They need to write down anything they see and make a detailed report of every good or bad thing inside the gates.

In scouting one needed to just scout the outer parts of the gates, not disturbing the boss layer.

Raiding, on the other hand, required a large group of people with all of them divided into different categories. But that was for high-ranking gates, in case it's a low-ranking gate, the guild could just send some strong raiders to take care of it.

In raids one needed to enter the inner area as they needed to clear the gate.

Right now, however, the gate in question was not a low-ranking gate, it was a gate that's ranked highest in the world at this moment, and from Alice's words, it was clear that she wanted to raid the gate.

If that was not enough, the team that had entered the gate was a scouting team consisting of the strongest raiders.

This was the reason why the Raiders of Crimson Lotus guild were shocked when they heard Alice's words.

Honestly, they were all scared to even scout the gate as they knew that it was not a normal gate, and even if they knew that Alice was stronger than they knew while Alex was not to be underestimated, they were still scared.

That's just how the human brain works.

They had heard that the special rank gates were dangerous and the news of losses in the last special S-rank gate was still fresh in their minds.

So, it was natural for them to be scared as the gate they were inside was the same kind of gate that devoured many S-rank raiders. But that was not all as the gate was undiscovered as well, adding the fear of the unknown to their other fears.

"You guys just need to believe in me, all right? Have I ever disappointed you all?"

Alice's words broke the raiders out of their thoughts and they looked at Alice who was looking at them with a sincere expression.

It was not that she couldn't just leave them behind and continue forward with Alex, not at all, rather, she was sure that the gate would be cleared faster if she were to do that.

But it was her dream to bring her guild to the top and not just herself.

She needed them to be with her when she reached the top, after all, they were the guild members who trusted her and joined her in the journey of making her guild number one in the world.

The raiders looked at each other, they didn't know what to say.

It wasn't that they didn't trust Alice, it was just that the worry and fear about the results were just that much.

"Just a bunch of scaredy cats….."

It was then that every raider sitting there heard a low mocking voice.

When they turned towards the source of the voice, they saw Frank sitting there eating his piece of Hatzegopteryxs without care.

"What did you say?" A guy from the group of raiders asked.

"I said 'Just a bunch of scaredy cats', got a problem with that?" Frank asked as he looked at the guy who asked the question.

Frank even pressured the guy with his mana, and the guy just shut his mouth as he knew that Frank was right about them.

The pressure, however, didn't last long as it was washed away by a greater pressure.

"That's enough, Frank." Alice looked at Frank, Frank did the same for a while before he looked away and continued eating, ignoring everyone.

There was nothing but silence there after that.

Alice didn't console them saying that 'it's fine' or 'I know you guys are not scaredy cats', she just continued eating the meat along with Alex, Ann, and Noctura who was sitting behind Alex eating a piece of meat but it seemed like no one had even noticed her.

"I will follow your orders like I always did, president."

Maggie was the first one to speak with a smile on her face and it didn't take long for every raider to do the same.

But if someone were to ask – What was the main reason for them changing their minds so suddenly?

The answer was not because of Alice's sincere words, it was because of Frank's taunt, which was something Alice, Alex, and Ann knew as well.

"Wel then, what are you guys waiting for? Get ready to move!" Alice stood up and exclaimed with a smile on her face.

""Yes!""

The raiders did just what Alice said and stood up, getting ready to move.

"Thank you," Alice spoke to Frank when the raiders were busy preparing their weapon and armor.

"It is my job as the vice-guild master of the Crimson Lotus Guild," Frank spoke and then turned around and moved towards his team.

Frank had been trying to stay away from the time Alex had commanded him to not think of revenge and if he stayed close to Alice he would think about her and if he thought about her then he wouldn't be able to get her out of his mind.

If that happened then Frank knew that he would think about Alex and Alice, as it was clear to him that there was something between them. Call it his instincts, but he could tell that easily.

All of this would lead to him thinking about taking revenge on Alex, thus resulting in the mind-numbing pain that he didn't want to experience ever again.

.................................…

"As you guys already know, we are raiding this gate."

Alice spoke as she stood on top of the stump of the tree that was cut by Alex before.

Before someone could say something Alice continued.

"Don't worry, I won't be risking our lives. If things started getting out of our hands then we are making a run for the exit, I can guarantee that to you guys."

As Alice spoke, some of the raiders nodded since they wanted to suggest the same thing.

Then Alice continued.

"But think about the situation where we clear the gate. We would be the first guild to clear an S-ranked gate alone, that too with a scouting team.

Just think about it."

Alice added and she could tell from the smiles on the raider's faces that they were really hooked by the idea of getting famous.

"We don't know how long it will take and what kind of beasts we will have to face, so let's not waste any more time. Let's move!"

Alice Commanded and got down from the stump.

They started jogging deeper into the large forest with Alice, Alex, and Ann as their vanguards and Frank at the rear.

It was a well-known fact that S-ranked gates were much larger than A-ranked ones and one S-rank gate was found and cleared in Green Country was so large that it took them a whole day to clear that gate.

This was the reason why Alice said, 'We don't know how long it will take'.

'Let's look at the quests now,' Alex mused inwardly as he jogged through the forest.
