《Don't Worry, We Have The Best Supporter On Our Team》Chapter 3.2 Infiltration
Advertisement
It was a quiet night. No intruders had dared to set foot in their territory. He looked at the starry sky, enjoying the view from the watchtower. Then there came a sound behind him. He took arms and looked behind, only to find his comrade, holding two cups of hot soups, one in each hand. He breathed a sigh of relief and received a cup from him. His comrade reminded him that his shift had ended. He thanked him for the soup and moved out of the watchtower.
The new occupant of the watchtower placed his cup on a small table. He positioned a chair to his liking and sat down, watching the north side of the camp. He took a sip of his drink. As he took a sip, he saw a strange flash from a distance. He immediately stood up and squinted his eyes, focusing on the source of light.
An object flew by and pierced into one of the pillars that linked between the roof and the floor. He turned to look at the object, the object was a throwing knife.
As he pondered over where the knife was coming from, a mysterious black figure appeared out of thin air next to the throwing knife. Instinctively, he reached out for his blade, but it was too late.
The intruder was agile. He wrapped around his neck, choking him. The grappled tried to break free from his grasp but failed to do so, and he fell unconscious.
The intruder slowly laid down his victim to the ground. He went over to one of the pillars of the watchtower to retrieve his throwing knife.
“I’m in. Any activities on the camp?” said Jayce, utilizing his telepathy enchantment.
“what was that?! You just threw a knife at one of the watchtowers and disappeared next to me. Not to mention that’s fifty metres!”
Jayce couldn’t spare a moment to explain everything to her, not while he was deep in enemy territory. Although, he could barely imagine Alice sat on the tree branch, fifty metres outside of the camp, pouting her side cheeks and sulking.
“I will explain everything later. For now, our top priority is the prisoners’ safety. Take down any enemies that I marked and wait for my signal.”
Taking Jayce’s words, Alice returned her attention to the task at hand. She scanned the entire camp with the enchanted monocle that Jayce had lent to her a few moments ago.
“For now, the bandits’ activity is normal. The prisoners are located twenty metre east of your position. Two bandits guarding them and another five bandits are in your path.”
“Thanks for the update. On my way to the objective.”
He slid his throwing knife back to his sleeve and activated his stealth enhancements. He took a peek below the watchtower and found himself a guard below the watchtower.
He checked his surroundings again, making sure no one else except Alice was watching his location. At the right moment, he leaped off the watchtower and landed on the bandit below him. He slammed the bandits head first to the grassland with his gauntlet.

“Don’t worry, you’re in the clear,” said Alice, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
Without a moment to waste, he hid the unconscious bandit to one of the nearby tents. He took a nearby rope and tied the bandit, and placed him into one of the empty crates.
He kept his stealth enchantments active, moving from tent to tent as cover. Alice did a great job at providing directions to avoid contact with the enemies. She took into account every possible movement made by the bandits. He was glad that he’d made a right decision to went off by himself.
The moment they got closer to the bandit camp for reconnaissance, he had sensed something disturbing from the middle of the camp, so he chose to enter the camp by himself.
He arrived at his location. The prisoners’ conditions looked dire. They seemed to be fed, but the bandits might have fed them rotten foods. Feeling disgusted by their actions, he kept his emotions in check, he had to keep his mind rationale in these situations.
“By any chance, you could cast a spell that isolates and muffles any sounds in a certain area? If so, can you cast that spell around the hostages’ cages and the two bandits guarding them?” asked Jayce.
He knew she heard him so he waited. If she couldn’t cast that spell, she would have declined his request a while ago and he would have taken another approach. While waiting, he unsheathed his blades, checking their conditions. He began to wonder whether these scimitars will suffice to take down the bandit leader. That is if their plan failed and he had no choice but to face the bandit leader.
“The barrier is now active, you have one minute,” said Alice, after completing her long incantation.
Without holding back, he sprinted toward the guards, holding one throwing knife and his blade. One of the guards, farther away from him, noticed him. He unsheathed his sword and called out his comrade, but the comrade wasn’t able to hear anything from him.
Jayce threw a knife toward him and swung his blade to his closest target, who was unaware of the situation.
One down.
The last bandit deflected his throwing knife with his sword. The throwing knife gave Jayce enough time to close the distance, and he gave an upward diagonal swing, destroying the shield that the magic gloves provided. With that, both bandits had fallen unconscious.
As he approaches one of the cages, he placed a finger to his lips, gesturing to the prisoners to be quiet. “I’m here to help,” he reassured the prisoners. The prisoners nodded.
He searched the bandits’ body, looking for a key. At last, he found it and quickly unlock the cages. He told them to stay close and keep themselves out of sight from the bandits.
“Alice, What’s the security status on the gate lever?”

“Hold on, I’m moving to another location to get a better view,” responded Alice while jumping from tree to tree.
Jayce took another look at every prisoner at presence. Every single one of them looked ill, but they were still able to walk. As he scanned them, he found himself a prisoner with a bandage covering his eyesight.
Strangely, the bandage was clean, must be a new prisoner perhaps. Either way, he had to help him out. He approached the blind prisoner, offering him a hand to lift him up. However, the blind prisoner declined his offer.
“I may be blind, but I can handle myself,” said the blind prisoner.
“My apologies. My name is Jayce. We’re here to help. What is your name?” said Jayce.
“Aiden. So, are we ready to get out of this place?”
When Jayce was about to ask Aiden a question, he received an update from Alice. “Jayce, there are four guards around the gate lever. Two guards on the top platform watching outside the perimeter while the other two guards guarding close to the lever. Any plans?”
“Any sign of our target?”
“Not yet.”
He thanked Alice for the update and resumed his conversation with Aiden. “Sorry about that. I just received an update from my partner. Apparently, there are four guards guarding the gate control. I will open the path for everyone. So—”
“Let me help,” Aiden interjected.
“You’re unarmed. I wouldn’t risk having—”
“I won’t cause any burden to you and your partner. You have my word.” His tone was filled with determination.
Jayce pondered for a moment, thinking every possibility how Aiden will help them out. He reached a conclusion. “Okay. If you want to help, there’s only one condition. If I told you to run, you run. Understood?”
Aiden nodded to his condition.
With Alice’s information and navigation, Jayce, Aiden, and the prisoners reached into one of the tents that seemed to be the food storage, located five tents away from the gate. Jayce, Aiden, and a few able prisoners took and distributed the food from the storage to the prisoners.
The prisoners were joyed when they received their proper meals. While they were eating, Jayce withdrew and distributed a few medicines from his magic gloves to prisoners who required immediate treatment.
The prisoners were about to speak, but Jayce gestured them not to speak as they were still in poor health conditions. He wouldn’t take any chances to worsen their conditions. He told the prisoners to stay in the tent, while he and Aiden will head to the gate.
Ten metres away, Jayce and Aiden waited for the right moment. Jayce had asked Alice to cast sound-isolation magic around the upper level and make a distraction around the guards guarding the lower part of the gate. After isolating the sounds around them, she then cast an illusion spell to the bandits.
To the bandits’ perception, they heard someone knocking at their gate. When the bandits turned their gaze toward the gate, Jayce and Aiden immediately sprinted toward the bandits. Jayce knocked a bandit out-conscious with a choke-hold, while Aiden did the same. After knocking them unconscious, they dragged and hid their bodies in a nearby tent.
Jayce turned back to check on Aiden, who was nowhere to be seen. Where did he go? thought Jayce. He quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to locate Aiden’s position.
When he caught on Aiden in his field of vision, his eyes went wide, nervousness descended upon him as his pray his action will not jeopardize their quest. Instead of taking the stairs, he was climbing the wooden frames that act as a support of the gate platform. Despite his physical physique, he climbed up efficiently and silently, finding and making use of every possible foothold that suits him.
Jayce’s eyes turned silver to analyze Aiden’s apparels, from top to bottom, he didn’t have a single enhancement applied to his apparels, which led him to believe that Aiden relied solely on strength alone. He began to grow suspicious of Aiden. Is he…?
Meanwhile, Jayce’s target was about to turn his gaze at Aiden. Jayce quickly activated his muffle enhancements and sprinted toward his target, unsheathing an obsidian scimitar with his right hand. Instead of using chokehold technique, he used his momentum to kick the back of his target’s knee, bringing his target down to his knee and struck his head with the pommel of this weapon.
Thankfully, no sound was made from both Aiden and Jayce’s target. They moved on, looking for the winch to open the gate. The winch was massive, about one metre across, and it took both Jayce and Aiden to operate it.
When the gate was finally opened, one of the prisoners, who saw the gate opening, informed the other prisoners. With that, they ran out of the camp with the possible speed they could muster. However, the sound of the opening gate brought attention to the bandits.
As the last prisoner exited from the camp, Jayce turned his gaze toward Aiden, “Aiden, thank you for your helping the prisoners to escape, but it would be my best interest for you to get yourself out of here, too.”
Upon hearing that, Aiden’s eyes became narrow, “No, I should be the one thanking you. Also, I’m not leaving without my gears.”
“This is not the time—,” he retorted, but there came a war cry. They looked further south. There was a massive figure wielding a greatsword and other bandits followed behind him, weapons ready.

8 151Dungeon Crawler Katia
The aliens killed everyone on Earth...almost. Every structure, from the Taj Mahal to the lowliest lobster trap, vanished into the earth, killing everyone inside. The survivors were given a choice: Endure on the surface without food or shelter or tools, or descend into a world-spanning nightmare dungeon that is also a reality TV show. Katia, an art professor from Iceland who has given up her humanity to transform into a shapeshifting doppelganger, meets up with Carl and his cat, Donut. Together, the three fight to survive in a dungeon filled with Clarketech goblin murderdozers and pyramid-scheme fairy moonshine-makers. The above is, of course, describing Dungeon Crawler Carl. With DoctorHepa's (the author) permission I'm posting some fanfic to expand on Katia, one of the secondary characters who started off not getting as much exploration as I would have preferred. I started off writing chapters that matched up to canon except from her POV instead of Carl's; that lasted a couple of chapters before going off the rails and spinning off into a completely new story, which suggests I should really go back and renumber all the chapters as soon as I find some tuits.
