The woman with the braided hair was small and probably only about 155 cm tall. She came over to us, covering her private parts and chest, looking timid.


    "Come on. You can tell where our friend is, right?" Leva said in a soft tone, approaching the woman. "You are safe now. There is no need to be afraid. We will save all of you. So, tell me where Kat is."


    "Don''t tell them, Alice! Or we will be screwed!" One of the women in a room screamed.


    The woman named Alice gulped, then spoke in an awkward tone while pointing in a direction. "S-she was there, carried by our leader on a horse."


    Leva''s brow furrowed. "Your leader isn''t joining the fight?"


    "Perhaps he sent one of his men to take his ce on the battlefield. Well, he''s wearing a mask, after all." Manu chimed in. "I can''t say he''s a good leader."


    I gave more instructions to my colonists. Basically, I want them to find horses so they can catch up with Jia and Kat. However, I asked Manu to stay as a representative so the Mermans wouldn''t feel left out. After all, Manu''s animal stat was still below ten, meaning he couldn''t control a horse.


    "So, are there still horses here?" Eric asked the woman.


    Alice massaged the nape of her neck, but she immediately came to her senses and covered her pussy again. "I-it''s in the west. I mean stable…. Well, it''s not stable…."


    "Let''s go." Leva gestured to her tworades.


    "Are we really going to be safe?" Alice asked when Leva was just walking past her.


    The red-haired woman stopped in her tracks, then spoke without looking at the naked woman. "I promise you. My other friends are at war with those bad guys."


    My colonists didn''t wait for Alice''s answer and then came out of the tent, meeting Miro, who was supporting the female Merman. There were several shes and stab wounds on the big man''s body, but he seemed fine.


    "You didn''t find Kat?" Miro raised an eyebrow.


    "He was brought by Jia by horse from here," Eric answered, not stopping in his tracks at all.


    "So, you guys are going after them?" Miro asked again.


    "Miro, you just stay here with Manu." I gave the order because I felt what Miro did was more than enough. Yes, he''s still standing tall, but I''ll never know his actual condition.


    "I''m with you." Miro handed the Merman he was carrying to Manu and started to catch up with Eric and Leva.


    Stupid idiot.


    "You can bring this merman to help you in long-range attacks." I sighed, annoyed. "She can still sit with you on the horse, right?"


    Miro stopped, froze with a confused expression for a moment, then took the female Merman from Manu''s hand, chasing after my other two colonists again. Since the Merman couldn''t walk at full capacity, Miro lifted the half-fish with his hands like a princess.


    I could see the Merman was looking at Miro''s face with her face turning red.


    Again, there were no obstacles at all on the way. My colonists finally arrived at the wooden stakes used to tie horses. The horses in the stakes looked uneasy, constantly neighing and moving wildly.


    "Let me calm them down first." Miro put the Merman he was carrying on the ground, then started to calm the horses. It''s looked so hard. He had to dodge several times when he was about to rub the bodies of the mounts.


    And I can only wait impatiently. Leva also like that. She kept scratching her hair. After 15 strenuous minutes of struggle, Miro finally managed to let go of the three horses and hand over two to the others. Leva and Eric immediately got on their respective horses, while Miro helped the female Merman to get on first.


    The Merman looked nervous, and when she sat on the horse, her body was shaking. Miro patted the female Merman in an attempt to calm her down. They both can''tmunicate verbally to each other, after all.


    The gallops of the three horses began to echo. The four of them left the ce at top speed. Jia and Kat had already left. They had to catch up soon.


    Maybe the journey was long for them, but not for me. With the fast-forward feature, I was able to see the horse that Jia was riding in a matter of minutes. As expected, Kat sat in front of Jia, who was controlling the horse.


    Kat''s body was still clean and unscathed, though she was nowpletely naked, tied up, and gagged with a cloth. Well, at least the amber-eyed girl looks fine, still with her signature nk expression.


    Even with the person you love, you leave her in this state, Jia? Don''t you want to be Kat''s lover? Which lover would let his woman naked in public like this?


    As per mymand, the Merman started aiming with her water rifle.


    "Are you sure she won''t miss and hit Kat, Miro!?" Leva screamed against the howling of the wind and the sound of galloping horses.


    Miro shrugged. "I don''t know. But, at this rate, we won''t be able to catch up with that asshole."


    Yes, Jia''s distance from my colonists is still quite far. I had asked Miro to bring the horse he was riding closer to the evil man so that the Merman could shoot more easily. However, since Miro had been doing it for too long without any results, I ordered the Merman to fire now.


    There''s something strange. As I recall, Jia used to only have a very low animal stat, not even ten. I don''t understand why he can control the horse so well. In this game, the animal stat will affect the speed of the horse being ridden. Take Miro, for example, who is already quite far ahead of hisrades. He has animal stat of 70.


    If Miro followed my orders, we might not have been able to catch up with Jia. I still need to learn, even though I''ve been ying this game for quite long time.


    After a few minutes of aiming, the Merman finally pulled the trigger. However, instead of shooting high-pressure water, the muzzle rifle exploded and sttered the clear liquid everywhere.. Miro''s horse suddenly panicked and moved wildly.
