Chapter 296: Bringing back the loot
The cleanup was easy as the kobolds were completely trapped between the flame wall and the burning camp.
There wasn't another high rank monster that came out, so all of the kobolds that were left were easy pickings for Claire and Hayate with their long range attacks.
The camp continued to burn for a while until there was nothing left to burn.
The wall around it, the buildings in the camp, and most importantly the kobolds that had been in the camp had all been burnt down…
There wasn't a single thing left of the camp once the flames had finished their rampage.
The only things that were left were the corpses of the kobolds that had died outside of the camp.
Of course, that included the frozen Kobold General that stood there like an ice sculpture.
Once it was confirmed that all of the monsters were killed, the porters went forward.
Blaze's flame wall came down and they went forward to survey which ones we would be able to bring back with us.
Though many of them were burnt because of the tactic that we used, it was still not a problem since these were minor burns…Well, that was just the ones from escaping the camp, there was no ignoring the large gaping wounds that were on their chests from the flame swords.
Since these were the only ones that survived the battle, they would do what they could with these corpses.
It took them no time at all to cut out the parts that couldn't be used and pack up the parts that could.
As for the Kobold General, it was easier to just carry it back while it was frozen like this since it would deter other monsters and beasts from attacking them to steal it.
Packing everything up, they went to pick up the kobolds that they had frozen before and brought everything back to camp with them.
When they arrived, they naturally attracted everyone's attention with the large Kobold General that they brought back.
Seeing this large Kobold General, the people in the camp couldn't help looking at us with strange and surprised looks.
After all, they never expected us to come back with such a prize.
Since we were at camp, there was no reason for the porters to keep hauling the Kobold General corpse.
They put it down and Su Chen went to find the butchers that had been brought in to take care of this Kobold General.
After a while, there were a few Awakeners that came over to take a look at this Kobold General corpse.
The first dungeon raid team was made up of various levels of Awakeners.
There were those at the top that were in the A and B Rank, but there were also rookies to the team who were in the C Rank.
This Kobold General was a C Rank Monster that was close to B Rank, so it would be hard for them to fight this Kobold General themselves. Though the main reason why the Kobold General was considered close to B Rank was because of all the kobolds that it could command.
If it wasn't for that, they would be able to take down the Kobold General themselves.
Still, for us to bring back a Kobold General just an hour after heading in, this really was a feat that was worthy of praise.
The way that they looked at us started to change as some of the C Rankers even wanted to ask us how we had taken down this Kobold General.
But before they could do that, there was someone that suddenly appeared and said, "These rookies just used a bunch of tricks to take down the Kobold General. They are nothing more than frauds."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help revealing surprised and confused looks.
However, it was one of the members of the first dungeon raid team that had made this claim. So the Awakeners had no choice but to believe this person over Lin Fan's group.
They had to stick together as veterans of the first dungeon raid team.
But since this person was calling my team out, naturally I had to step up as the leader of this team.
I walked up to this person and asked in a cold voice, "May I ask what you mean by that?"
That person looked at me and said, "If it wasn't for your luck of finding the kobold encampment, would you have been able to take down this Kobold General?"
I gave a cold snort before saying, "Luck? We found it by figuring out the patterns of the kobold patrols and then following them to their camp. Can you really call that luck?"
That person just completely ignored me as he said, "Not to mention, if it wasn't for the trick that you used, you wouldn't have been able to take down those kobolds. You just trapped them in the camp and used the flames to burn them out instead of fighting them head on. If you had fought those kobolds head on, you wouldn't have survived."
When he said this, the response that he received wasn't as good as he thought.
Instead of looking at us with looks of blame, there were looks of praise that were thrown in our direction.
It was as if they thought that our plan was quite smart, but they just couldn't say it out loud.
Seeing this, that person that was accusing us felt that this wasn't good for him, so he said, "Not only that, you burned all of the precious materials that we should have collected. Instead of coming back and calling for help, you chose to follow your pride and take care of it all on your own when you could have gotten everyone else involved."
At this, the expressions on the faces of the others changed.
It was one thing to take down a camp, but burning down the loot that they were supposed to collect…that was different.
