Rattling sounds could be heard as Xiao Chen was forced to retreat back to the city of Yohan to recuperate after engaging against the Bloodpool Goblins. Many of his warriors were wounded and are no longer able to continue on fighting and with the additional women that they rescued slowing them down, he opted to return to the city of Yohan to reorganize for the expedition.
In order for the women rescued from the clutches of the goblins to be treated, they needed to be brought to Yohan to recover. Many of them had weak legs after not using them for a long time except for just opening them up for better entry for their assaulters. Xiao Chen had his warriors create makeshift wagons since he can't force the weak-legged women to march with his troops.
It's exactly as Adhalia had said, because of the tragic experience that they went through, they were frightened, crying and some even wanted to die, especially the proud elves and orc women. Xiao Chen even facepalmed at the ridiculousness of things when he discovered two male elves among those that they have rescued. The Bloodpool Goblins were really going for anyone that looked beautiful and even Xiao Chen himself would have been fooled by those two if not for the tails hanging between their legs..
Darkness came and Xiao Chen had his warriors established a secure campsite as to repel anyone who would try to raid them during the dark, especially since they are no longer in full force with many of them wounded and women among them that need protection.
A few groups of goblin that were stalking them tried to take away the women but Xiao Chen and his warriors were quick to act and beat down the little creatures who made a huge mistake by thinking that the little Grogus was with them which caused their attempt to be easily foiled. The women went into a state of panic after seeing many goblins pouring in into the camp and even the two male elves went to the extreme of trying to suicide just so that they wouldn't be captured once again and be shamed by the ones that treated them like women.
Xiao Chen controlled his actions as not to be in the limelight and let his warriors have all the glory. The system had issued him a command to help the rescued women recover, but it didn't state specifically how he should help them recover and judging by the eyes of the two ladies who were always with him, he can't do much.
After driving away numerous attempts at a night raid successfully, the rescued women looked up to the warriors of Yohan as their saviours. Several of the women had sparkles on their eyes as they stared at the muscular orcs who made quick work of their foes with all the discipline and training that they went through.
The enormous Galum'nor had four women eyeing him with looks of interest in their eyes. Two of them were elven women, one female orc and a human female that looked so delicate to the eyes of the orcs on how skinny she was.
"We were captured for so long that we don't know how much time had passed... We were used almost daily by those disgusting goblins with no rest or consideration of our pain... Our bodies have long been accustomed to the world of pleasure and that is the only way that we know now on how to repay you, out saviours." the human female smiled as he stared at Galum'nor's huge crotch.
"You know our tongue?" Galum'nor can't help but asked and the female human glanced towards the female orc, who was also eyeing the same male as her. "She taught us..." she stated.
Most of the women regained their physical and mental strength and are talking to the warriors of Yohan that they have taken a fancy to, quiet assertively and even the trolls weren't soared. Only Xiao Chen and Grogus was left alone as a cold hard stare from the ladies guarding them scared all those women who tried to approach them.
Of all the goblins that he had encountered, Xiao Chen would consider the Bloodpool Goblins as by far the ugliest of their kin, not just basing on their outer appearance but also on how they do things. And the rescued women who saw no other creatures except for the Bloodpool Goblins considered everyone else to be handsome, well almost everyone as only one female human tried to approach Grogus who was being guarded by Aro'shanna and busy cooking her meal.
Xiao Chen allowed his warriors to comfort the women with their words and some cuddles if needed be but he strictly prohibited them from laying their hands on them and taking advantage of their current situation. And also for Xiao Chen to ensure that they aren't carrying any sort of disease after they were toyed around by many goblins. It was also a way for him to protect his warriors. It may have been an unnecessary caution on his part, but who knows, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Upon thinking about how busy would Rakh'ash'tha be in the next few days, he can't help but shake his head in pity after thinking about the old orc who he left behind buried in a mountain of paperworks.
Xiao Chen cleared his throat, then spoke in a loud voice and a serious tone. "All of you need to be treated first to ensure your safety before participating in any more...ehem...strenuous activities..."
The words of Xiao Chen caused some of the women to bow their heads and stare at the ground because of shyness, while others just stared at him blankly. All the warriors of Yohan had no qualms about the orders of their chieftain, since they were used to it already.
"If you aren't feeling well...You don't need to be shy about it... Look for Adhalia and Draegh'ana if you need more clarifications... That's all..." he continued before turning around and headed towards his resting place.
A few women replied cheerfully while others just nodded their head silently in understanding. On the surface, Xiao Chen's orders looked like he only cared for the safety of the rescued women but in reality, he was just fulfilling the conditions for his third optional mission which was to let all the women that they rescued be checked for anyone bearing a child of the Bloodpool Goblins. Xiao Chen didn't know why his system was so hellbent on truly eradicating the Bloodpool Goblins and even issuing him missions that no offspring of theirs survive.
The next day, Xiao Chen and his companions continued on their way with those that they rescued. Seeing a lot of women among the warriors of Yohan was quite a spectacle to witness. Not to mention they are all the right age to bear children, and each of them possessed a beauty unique to themselves. And they are even wearing only few clothes as many of their bodies were exposed for all to see, so there's an air of eroticness about them.
Xiao Chen was keeping a straight face as he controlled his impulse to catch a glimpse of them, he was all but just a man and a man can't help but appreciate the beauty of the things around him but the two ladies sandwiching him on both sides prevented him from appreciating the beauty of things.
It was like a slow torture for Xiao Chen, but he finally heaved a sigh of relief when he spotted the towering walls of Yohan in the distance. He went ahead and whispered his orders to Galum'nor. "Help the women and carry them if you must. A touch wouldn't hurt but refrain from doing more or I will have a heart to heart session with all of you... Now go and spread the word but keep your voice down..." he whispered to which Galum'nor just nodded his head before walking away silently.
It didn't take long for the two ladies to catch up to Xiao Chen, who suddenly increased his walking pace and they noticed the huge orc slowing down and lagging behind them till he was at the same pace as the other warriors of Yohan. They could soft whispers among the males behind them, but they can't make out what they were saying. The two just shrugged their shoulders without care as they focused all their attention on their chieftain and his actions.
Normally, after Xiao Chen would issue commands that don't address to battle, his warriors would grumble in protest in soft murmurs but he could still hear them but now, instead of grumbling, he could hear suppressed cheers from them.
After arriving inside the city of Yohan, the warriors were quick to act as they help the women from the makeshift wagons. Many of the women were able to walk fine on their own, but they entrusted their bodies to the soldiers that they had taken fancy on. Xiao Chen noticed the ladies blushing as his warriors carry them off the wagons and into the building where Rakh'ash'tha treats his patients. Some of the women even locked lips with his warriors, but he decided to just ignore them and pretend that he didn't see anything as he walked away.
