I told the plan to the others which was pretty simple overall, the only complicated parts were done by me, and I knew what I was supposed to do or I would know when I'd meet with the problem.
Their part of the plan was simple, wait for me to give the signal which Froggy would hear, and then he would run to hit the bell like his life depended on it, at that time everyone from the prison would run towards the cells that have the escape hole, brake their bed and jump into the tunnels.
For this, I had to mine all the cells once again and cover the progress that I made since it was too easy to spot them.
Usually the prisoners would have some break time after a hard day of work, and around 10 guards would supervise them.
Once the signal is heard, they throw blindness potions at them and run for the hole, and escape the prison.
The first part is done, now comes the riskier part, they have to break the wall and run for the stalls that holds the horses of the pillagers and steal them.
We don't know if they have enough for everyone, but if they do that's good, I they don't, there would be a few people with speed potions that would have to run, and if they have more horses then them, then they have to kill the extras so they can't catch up with us.
Once everyone is prepared, they rush the gate and kill everyone in their way, preferably that doesn't have to happen since it would slow down the escape, and we were underequiped for combat as a group.
Now what I was responsible for instead was something much riskier, I had to attract the attention of everyone in the outpost so the prisoners could escape.
I had a few ideas in mind, but first I had to convince Violet to do me a few favors.
"Violet, can we talk?"
I was alone at the water fountain in the corner of the castle. It was a quiet place that looked pretty good and would be used for my plans.
As I requested Violet appeared beside me.
"Can you please teleport this message for me to Solomons's desk?"
I gave her a piece of paper that had the information of where we should meet and what time.
She gently took the paper, looked at it with curiosity then teleported away.
"That was easier than I expected it."
A few minutes later she was back but held no paper in her hand.
"Thank you, I want to ask you another favor now."
I said that as I took two items out of my inventory, one was a pillow, and the other one was the Enderpearl.
As soon as she saw the perl, her eyes instantly narrowed with displeasure.
"Sorry, is this the perl of someone you know?"
Do monsters have friends or family?
But to my relief, she just shook her head as a no.
"Are you bothered that I'm using parts of you people as a method of transportation?"
Her eyes narrowed down before giving a small nod.
"I'm sorry that I'm asking you this then, but we can't help the prisoners escape without using this method, I don't have enough time to make other preparations, otherwise I wouldn't ask you this."
She didn't seem to be interested in helping me this time either, I guess I had to play a little dirty now.
"I can't guarantee that I'll manage to escape either, since I intended to bring the wrath of the whole outpost towards me. And while I still have a life to spare, it would be my last one. Then I would just sit away and not talk with you anymore."
Her eyes narrowed once again and she opened her mouth showing her displeasure, which meant that she truly cared about me in some twisted way.
Ok, I used the stick, now I'm going to use the carrot as well.
"If you help me this time, I will do one favor for you no matter how hard it is."
This seemed to catch her interest as she tilted her head for me to continue.
"If you want any blocks, I can give them to you, if you want to learn something about Redstone, I can help you with that, as long as I don't have to hurt who I care I can do it for you."
Suddenly a sly smile appeared on her face making me regret that I made this kind of deal, but I stood my ground since I needed her help.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
She took the pearl from the pillow and became invisible.
"Hey, use the pillow so it won't register to you!"
I yelled since I didn't know where she was, but no response came.
Do Endermans not play by the same rules?
"When you see me in danger teleport me on top of the outhouse!"
I yelled once again, hoping that she understood me.
So I sat down and waited, I waited for a whole hour before finally seeing the man of the night.
I was honestly a little scared that he betrayed me for a moment, but when I heard his reason for why he was late I could only slap myself out of embarrassment.
Of course, I could send the message to him, but I couldn't guarantee that he would see it at the same time.
I tried to brush off this embarrassing moment by asking him the same question as last time, and to my surprise he answered it, and to my double surprise, it was something mind-blowing!
Did they recreate the System in some way?
Did they create a command block?
Before I could ask more questions on how it works and where it is, he let out a firework in the sky.
Panic started to seep in as I saw him disappear in front of my eyes, this was a trap!
But my guts started to feel weird, and all of a sudden I was on top of a roof looking at my previous place being blasted with multicolored arrows.
I don't think I could've survived that, so I was very thankful for Violet's perfect timing.
"Thank you, now can you please break this one as well besides the Ravager cages once you don't hear any more explosions?"
The pearl disappeared out of my hand, which meant the message was received.
Perfect, now it's time to have my revenge.
"Oh wow, that was a lot of arrows, making the soldiers invisible was pretty ingenious."
I could only smile at what I was about to do, which unfortunately they didn't see because of my helmet.
"I guess it's time for payback."
With that, I took two loaded crossbows out of my inventory and shot at the invisible crowd.
I couldn't see them, but I could hear them scream in pain as I changed my weapon each time.
Unfortunately, the fun didn't last for long as I was out of loaded crossbows in my inventory and I didn't want to reload them.
After all, this was just the beginning.
Suddenly I felt my guts being pulled and I was now in a different location.
Iron cages were all around me, some of them had one Ravager, others had two, but never more.
I walked towards the closest one and saw the beast asleep, I didn't see a way to open the cage so the only solution I could think of was to break it with my powerful pickaxe.
Two swings later I broke one, and a few more swings later a hole big enough for the best to get out was formed, unfortunately by breaking the iron bars I made a lot of noise and the beast was starting to awake.
"This is not going to be fun."
But I had to do this, so I broke another one, then a second one then a third to the tenth cage, things got too chaotic with all the Ravagers rooming angrily around since their beutie sleep was interrupted.
On top of that, just to be sure that everyone would be angry I shoot a few fireworks at the ground making everyone yell in rage.
Their rage could be heard through the whole outpost, which was also the signal for Froggy to let everyone out.
I couldn't stay in this place anymore since I would be trampled to death, plus I could hear human getting closer.
So with my missing done, I ran towards the wall that kept the castle separated from the common people and made a small hole in it.
Now, most of the wall was made with brickstone, but not all of it, since some parts had wood in them.
And guess who had some Flint and Steel and a will to commit arson?
This guy!
And that's what I did, I ran along the streets trying to get further away from the escaping prisoners until I heard yelling.
This was a good and a bad thing at the same time, since it seems I caught some attention.
But I could do a lot more damage to those people.
You know what else is more flammable then a wall mostly made with stonebrick?
Woodland mansions!
And I had a lot to choose from.
I ran towards the closer one and broke the wall made of leaves, then I lit it on fire and watched it how it quickly burned like a fuse.
It was mesmerising to see, unfortunately I couldn't watch it as I had to do the same to the mansion itself.
Then I did the same on the second one, and a third before I had to stop since now they were actively looking for me instead of focusing on extinguishing the fire.
Since my job was done, I decided to stop there and dig a small room underground and wait for Froggy to brake my pearl.
I made the room big enough in case Violet wanted to stay with me, and I was right, since she became visible once she had enough room to move around.
She had a smile on her face as her head kept moving at different parts of the ceiling like she could see through the walls, but then I realised that she had her third eye opened and could actually see what was happening.
Minutes slowly passed and I was growing more and more worried until I felt my guts hurting once more as I was yanked into the subspace and appearing in another location.
"Oh, thank the System that it worked!"
Froggy said with relief in his voice.
I looked around and saw that we were in the woods instead of the outpost which was a great relief, I also saw a lot of people on horses bearly staying together, and while everyone was tired from working all day and running to escape from their captures, they still had a big smile on their face.
"Froggy, Trader we all want to thank you for getting us out of the prison, we are indept to you two, we would never forget this!"
Murmurs if approval were all over the place, which made me smile a little.
"Don't thank us yet, we still have to get you home!"
I yelled and everyone cheered after me, I then looked at Froggy who still had the blanket in his hand and asked about my horse.
"Of course I got your a horse, I wouldn't dare make you run all the way back."
He said that smiling, while pointing at the only horse that didn't have a rider.
"Oh I wasn't worried that I would have to run towards home, I was worried that YOU would have to do that."
Suddenly his smile froze and faked a caught.
"Yeah... good thing we don't have that problem, let's go."
I got on my horse and followed everyone who was more then happy to leave this place.
It would take around 6 days to get back to the Clan and around 11 to get at a lage city in the Stone Kindome and we wold split from there.
We would also separate the two groups at a certain point, since we didn't want to compromise the location of the Clan.
Froggy would take the Witches and I would take the Viligers.
My only worry was for our food to last until we get there, but I tried to throw it in the back of my mind for now.
I was tired, so I concentrated only on riding the horse
