Chapter 22: Baron Elin 4
(Orlax POV)
I looked into the eyes of the people, seeing the hope reigniting within them, the excitement as they regained their courage and helped me fight the monsters.
However, despite all of this, I couldn't find Baron Elen, so I asked one of the guards standing beside me.
"Sir Knight, where is Baron Elen?"
"Your Majesty, Baron Elen was on the wall before it collapsed, and when the monsters entered, we could no longer see him."
The knight replied with a tense and slightly fearful tone, likely due to my bloodstained appearance.
I frowned slightly upon hearing that, then quickly jumped onto one of the houses and began searching for him.
I extended my mana to the maximum and started sensing the surrounding environment.
I detected two life forms beneath the rubble, so I rushed towards them immediately.
There, amidst the fallen stones from the wall, I began clearing the debris with my own hands until the two individuals trapped underneath were revealed.
It was Baron Elen, his red hair now darkened from the injury to his head, as he shielded his daughter, who seemed to have suffered a head injury from the falling rocks and lost consciousness.
