Why level up in isekai, when you can hack your way through

Chapter 14 - The One Pulling Strings

A man appeared zapping through in light and below him was a magic circle... perhaps are teleportation circle...

"So Rhibert, you caught some humans outside the forest?" The Captain asked.

Rhibert responded, "Yes, Gehrwin-sama."

A demon attacked Rhibert saying, "Watch your tongue orc! – attacks – Don't speak Gehrwin-sama's name so casually!"

"Silence," Gehrwin said.

Then Gehrwin continued, "I wanna see what we have here... if they're of any use... Vice commander has told me that Muza'rn-sama wishes to conclude this experiment and the only thing we lack is the supply of undying undead soldiers which were found in the Goblin Village... once we seize them we'll start with the Erva and then proceed to eradicate the entire Kingdom of Livenia alongside its heroes and governing goddess."

After hearing this Gehrwin guy, I got a gist of one or two things while I said to myself,

"(Huh... undying soldiers? Rogu wasn't lying when he said the words have already been spread. I guess they're preparing for the war... against Kingdom of Livenia, its Goddess, and its heroes...?)"

So Athena responded, ( ( "The Heroes is a term for those individuals who are summoned from another world (like mine) by a Kingdom, by invoking the prayer of a god they worship... but governing gods can summon them on their own through rituals. The Heroes' main purpose is to defeat the demon lords and their armies, and if they succeed in defeating them they can go back to their own world or choose to stay here." ) )

"(I see, thanks Athena.)"

(So gods have the knowledge to not only summon but also to transfer people back... It's not like I wanna go back there but knowledge like that would sure come in handy. In any case, the big fish seems to be this guy named Muza'rn, the one behind experiments and wanting to start a war...)

Grrrrrr....!!!?

(Isabelle!? Why does she look so frustrated while grinding her teeth?)

Oi... oi... are you... okay...? Whispers to Belle.

She replies... "that name... Muza'rn... I've heard it before... it was the name of one of the children I used to play with... his father's name was Gudza'rn one of the high-ranking nobel who betrayed my father..."

Damn... surely there's no way it would be the same guy she described right...? I replied...

"No... I need to know more and by using my fist!" She angrily shouted and then...

Boom!

A massive explosion burst within the man cage as it scattered into smithereens...

Everything turns to rubble as the ground shakes... hurting and displacing most of the demons...

!!?

"Hey bottom feeder, – stares at down Gehrwin while floating in mid-air – tell me more about this Muza'rn... is he the so-called son of Gudza'rn?" Isabelle asked.

Gehrwin reacted, "Wha!? Who are you? How dare you speak the name of our supreme deity you bitc– gets attacks

"Hey... be careful what you say about my wife... say another bad word, I'll cut off that tongue of yours," I said to Gehrwin while looking at him with disgust.

"What's the meaning of this!? YOU!!! RED ORCS!! HOW DARE YOU DEFY US!! I'll order right now to kill your women and children." Gehrwin said... instilled in fear and confusion with agitation.

(And that's where our second plan came in, as our group's destination was the demon's hideout, Blue Lizards and Nuzma'h's group destination was Red Orc village... so we can kill all the demons taking women and children hostage.)
