Chapter 16 - Naive Plan

"Charlotte what will happen if I disobey the Captain's orders?"

"Don't tell me you're going to go outside the wall and save them?"

Luke just nodded at Charlotte and his expression changed to surprise.

"Are you crazy Luke? Can't you see how many there are?"

"I can't just stand there when they're asking us for help and we're just standing still watching them get devoured by that Lich creature."

"When you leave the gate you will be alone Luke without anyone's help. Don't be naive Luke."

"Naive you say? Indeed, I feel that I am currently very naive but, if I obey the Captain's orders and turn my face away from them then I don't deserve to be in this squad."

"Anyway, you're still going to save them? Even though you know the consequences if you survive?"

"Yes I know what awaits me in the future whether it be death or severe consequences I will accept it without regret."

"Okay… So, how do you go there? I can't give you the keys to the armored vehicle because I will most likely be suspected of helping you disobey orders."

"Don't worry Charlotte because I've thought things through."

Luk took out his motorbike key from his pocket and showed it to Charlotte.

"Don't tell me it's Kento motorbike key?"

"Yes I took it when he hit my face earlier."

"Haah… I didn't expect you to dare to steal the keys to his favorite motorcycle. I can't imagine what will happen to you in the future Luke."

"Alright, I'll go save them, Bye Charlotte."

Luke started walking towards Kento's parked motorbike and started to insert the keys to the motorbike he had just stolen from him.

"Luke bring this."

Charlotte handed me a gun and holster.

"Thank you Charlotte."

Luke put the gun on his left hip. After that he started Kento's motorbike and put on a mask to protect him from the thick fog that was outside the wall.

"Don't die Luke, I pray for your safety."

"Relax Charlotte because I have no intention of dying today."

At that moment Luke started to step on the gas Kento's motorbike and quickly headed out of the gate which was slowly starting to close. Luke slowly increased Kento's motorbike and quickly approached the gate which was only inches away from closing. Luke quickly made it through the gate and was in the outside world. He seemed to have heard Kento's voice shouting from the top of the wall. However, it seemed that he would ignore it since right now his main priority was to save them from the Lich's entourage.

"You bastard, that kid took my motorbike away."

Kento replied with an emotional tone on the wall.

"Hahaha… feel it uncle,"

Charles laughed out loud when everyone was watching Luke who took Kento's motorbike away to save the refugees.

"Captain let me pick up that stupid kid."

"Calm down Kento, before I give you orders don't move a single step from where you are standing right now."

Captain Daniel calmly said that to Kento whose face was currently red because his beloved motorbike was taken away by Luke.

"Charles prepare your sniper."

"Ready captain."

Charles, who heard this, began to assemble the sniper's weapon which was in a large suitcase.

"Charles you are free to shoot whatever is in there. Kento is coming with me. Looks like this new soldier needs a lesson in obeying his superior's orders."

When Captain Verin and Kento started descending the wall stairs they met Charlotte.

"What a coincidence Charlotte. Come with me we will teach our new soldiers a lesson."

"Charlotte you know that kid stole my motorbike keys right?"

"Hah? What do you mean uncle? I just took my equipment that was left in the car."

"You two shut up."

"Why don't you stop it Charlotte?"

"Uncle did you not listen to what the Captain said."

"Unlucky…"

In annoyance Kento hit the wall while still walking behind the Captain and Charlotte.

"I will definitely beat up that damn brat." Kento said in the back seat with an emotional tone.

"Calm down Kento, I want you to cool your head until we finish this business."

"How can I calm down captain, that kid stole my motorbike and instead took it to the hordes of that creature."

"If you still have emotions like that, don't expect your motorbike to come back intact"

When Captain Daniel said that Kento immediately fell silent and did not argue or say a word.

"Charlotte speed up this vehicle." The captain gave instructions to Charlotte to speed up the steel car.

"Captain are you serious? They seem to have put up a blockade in front of the gate."

"Don't think about it, just hit the barricade, later when everything is finished I will take responsibility for everything."

Charlotte also slowly started to increase the speed of the armored vehicle and slowly approached the blockade made by the gate guards. The gate that was still open caused by Luke caused the gatekeepers to press the emergency button to stop the gate from closing tightly. And the time needed to reactivate the automatic gate closing system is about ten minutes and the way to close the gate is to use the manual method. And when the gatekeepers were panicking that's when Team 10 who was in the armored vehicle passed through the barricade and out of the gate.

"Are you sure you're doing this partner?"

"Of course I'm sure I did. I have to hurry to save them."

Luke picked up Kento's motorbike as he watched one of the Lichs start reaching for the refugees' vehicles. One of the Lich noticed Luke approaching towards them and one of the Lich moved towards Luke and tried to lunge at Luke who was pulling out his sword.

"There won't be time" Luke said as the Lich jumped at him but immediately the loud sound of sniper fire hit the Lich's head. Luke stopped his motorbike and looked at the wall and that's when Luke realized that there was an armored vehicle coming from inside the wall heading towards him. Without thinking, Luke resumed his journey towards the vehicles of the refugees that the Lich had started to climb one by one.

Luke thought that his life would end when one of the creatures jumped to pounce on him but, it seemed luck was still on his side. Luke didn't know who shot the Lich from 300 meters away and if he knew who it was he would be grateful to him.. As he was thinking about the incident right in front of him the armored vehicle he was trying to save overturned. Immediately he fell silent watching this and he felt that he failed to save them but, one thing that made him realize was that he saw someone running out of the overturned vehicle holding a baby. Luke threw his sword at the Lich who was about to pounce on them and the woman looked back because it was only inches away from the woman's face.

"Run!!!" Luke shouted from a distance to the woman.

The woman started to run with all her might and when she started to get closer to her trying to grab her hand the Lich immediately pounced on the woman.

"Eh…?" Luke was knocked off the motorbike he was riding due to the collision caused by the Lich.

"Unlucky…"
