Red decided to return. On the way back to make his report, he encountered the Kobold Scout. No, he found them, and they didn't know he was above them. He was still quicker than them even without his blessing.
The thought of taking them down crossed his mind, but he decided not to. If they were farther than the main kobold army, then he might consider taking them down. Not when they were so close to the main army.
He had seen what those Elite Kobold Archers were capable of. Their arrow could pierce the thick branches. They were too dangerous, unless he could take down the Elite Kobold Archers. But again, he had to pass the Kobold Scouts first to reach the Elite Kobold Archers.
Red went at full speed, trying to go back as fast as he could. The patrol was not that useless. He got used to the slippery branch and never made the same mistake that might cause him to fall.
