Darla calmed down slightly, still sobbing, but she overcame her fear when she saw Red standing in front of her. She thought Red abandoned her, but then she noticed the wound across his chest.
Red never ran away; he was fighting the kobold. That wound was proof that Red fought, not running away.
Then a panic took over her, realizing the situation was bad. Red was alone, and the hobgoblin holding her had followers.
That was right, the hobgoblin was not alone. Three shorter hobgoblins and seven goblins were behind. Red remained unfazed even if he was outnumbered.
He was not blinded by anger. He was angry, but he was also calm. Levelheaded might play a part in why he was calm right now. Or else he would attack the hobgoblin, killing it with his arrow instead of confronting it.
