Is it possible for a level 7 goblin to exist?
Level 7, Level 8, Level 9, and even Level 10.
"If we continue to hunt goblins, will we encounter these monsters?"
Even though our team is all above level 50, and we leveled up again after killing the Sword Demon recently, we might not be a match for level 7 or even level 8 demons.
So, do you understand? We have no other way but to level up. "9×○∽"<‰］||
An Yi came here not just because she had a master back at Silvermoon Fortress.
Furthermore, it's because the heroes here will enter an unknown, large dungeon.
If I hadn't come, countless brave warriors would have made meaningless sacrifices in this operation.
Just now, they thought that killing one or two goblin centurions would be enough, and that they could explore the unknown abyss.
Then their fate will surely be death!
It's like how a hero who kills a few goblin centurions might be perceived as someone who could easily kill the Demon King.
If the brave warrior who killed him back then had ignorantly continued to venture deeper, he would probably have died somewhere in the Goblin Empire very soon.
“Yes, I’m worried about that situation too.” Eddie nodded. “Although it’s not as far off as you think.”
But after the battle with the goblin centurion, I also worried that there might be enemies among the goblins whom we could not defeat.
"Since the Sword Hero has said so, there's nothing we can do..." The believers were somewhat helpless.
"Then, what about the people?" a brave man asked.
“Evacuate the city,” An Yi replied immediately, without any hesitation.
Upon hearing these four words, the believers felt a pang of anxiety.
So, is evacuation the only option after all?
They had also considered this possibility.
But as much as possible, they didn't want to evacuate.
After all, this is the city where the Hero Alliance was first established. If they retreat, wouldn't that symbolize the Hero Alliance's retreat?
This will inevitably undermine public confidence in heroes!
But... things have come to this point, and we have no choice but to withdraw.
More critical than morale is the actual potential danger.
None of the heroes expected An Yi to make such a decision, answering so decisively. She must have already considered it on the way.
"Yes, Sword Hero."
However, we still need to consult the opinions of the other heroes.” The presiding believer looked around.
Unsurprisingly, none of the heroes objected.
The believers had also anticipated this outcome.
However, since it's a meeting of a group of brave warriors, they need to express their opinions; we can't assume they all agree.
While An Yi may seem to have the most say, in reality, all heroes are equal in status.
Even when facing Lycorina, they dared not show too much favoritism in front of all the heroes.
At that moment, a believer hurriedly walked in from outside, his face solemn.
He was taken aback when he saw An Yi there, and then a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
"My esteemed heroes, I have something important to report!"
Just now, the heroic team that went out to explore and investigate returned, but...
"Only one person returned!" the believer said solemnly.
"Is this another one of the goblin's usual tricks?" Eddie said calmly.
In other words, they deliberately sent someone back to report the news, thereby attracting more humans to provide support.
When people arrive at the scene, they usually only find the victim's gruesome body, leaving an indelible psychological scar on the rescuers.
The goblins would watch all this from behind, taking pleasure in the people's grief.
If there are few people, they might even resort to the same old trick, letting one person escape while the rest are tortured to death.
“No.” The believer shook his head and said gravely, “I heard from the hero who escaped that…”
Qi is a goblin that can speak human language!
They sent the fleeing hero back with a message.
He said, 'I will spare their lives, and then exchange your commander for them.'
"A goblin that can speak human language?" Even Eddie, who had hunted countless goblins, frowned.
The other heroes also instantly realized that something was wrong.
Has even the mighty Linglian Axe Warrior never seen a talking goblin before?!
Moreover, the other party said they would trade the "commander" for the lives of the other members of the exploration team...!
Eddie glanced around the conference room and then said, "I'll go. Every minute those heroes stay in the hands of the goblins increases their danger."
I've fought a goblin centurion before, and I can handle him.
After S finished speaking, she was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." An Yi stepped to the side and stood in front of her. "Who said you could go?"
S Eddie looked at An Yi, knowing that this man would most likely stop her: "I know you are stronger than me, and it would be safer for you to go."
"But the Saintess Squad is currently the strongest in this city. Wouldn't it be better to hide and prevent them from assessing our strength than to appear before them?"
O An Yi nodded and said, "Yes, but if we go now, we'll be playing right into the enemy's hands."
You don't know what awaits you with the enemy.
"So what do you want to do?" Eddie didn't say whether she would go or not; she just wanted to know Annie's opinion.
“If you’re going, our team of four will go with you, and we can also organize agile warriors to provide support,” An Yi said.
“But…wouldn’t that expose our strength even more?” another hero asked.
“Yes, but it doesn’t matter,” Annie said.
"Doesn't matter?" Eddie couldn't help but frown.
"Yeah, it doesn't matter."
"Let the townspeople leave this town and seek refuge in the city. If you can rescue people, run; if not, retreat. The goblins can't catch us," An'i said.
"What if the enemy crosses the town and attacks the city?"
The question was asked by a believer.
In their view, goblins' power could easily destroy any human structure, and even if there were walls, enemies of the level of a goblin centurion could easily jump over them.
“No, no, they don’t know our true strength.” An Yi shook her head.
Eddie suddenly realized and said, "You mean, the goblins think there are stronger warriors in the city, so they don't dare to attack?"
“Hmm.” An’i nodded. “I remember, the Slayer Hero came here for a while and easily killed the Goblin Centurion.”
During that period, the goblins didn't send out any stronger forces, right?
If I'm not mistaken, Goblin 7 is just as afraid of losing high-level combatants. If one of their strongest members suddenly appears and is killed by our side, it would be a loss that they cannot make up for in a short time.
They couldn't determine how strong the enemy was in the city, let alone how many enemies there were.
So...at least for the next three days, they won't attack.
"Three days is too short!" one of the brave warriors exclaimed.
Don't go on and on to arrive at a conclusion that's completely unpleasant!
"What, three days is already a lot."
Since the other side is wary of us, they will test our strength.
"The intelligence of a goblin centurion is already equivalent to that of a human, and the goblins above that level are probably even smarter. Three days is enough time for them to make a plan," Annie said.
After hearing this, the heroes visibly became dejected.
Don't give such a serious explanation!
The pressure is too much!
"Don't worry, ordinary goblins can't get over the city walls, but big goblins and goblin centurions can handle them."
"If stronger enemies appear, their numbers won't be too many. We can use our special abilities to kill them then," Annie said.
Upon hearing the words "special ability," the heroes' eyes lit up once again.
In fact, even now, many heroes have basically never used their special abilities.
Because of the existence of the Hero Alliance, they always do their homework before going on a campaign and will not overestimate their abilities to challenge enemies they cannot defeat.
Gain experience steadily and cautiously, and only deal with enemies that you can reliably handle at this stage.
Therefore, they rarely had the opportunity to develop special abilities, to the point that they almost forgot...
Yes, we can fight!
Eddie hadn't expected Annie to include [Special Ability] as part of the plan, because that was the most important ability for every hero, and every hero wanted to avoid exposing it to others if possible.
A hero is simply someone obsessed with defeating the demon race; their character cannot be guaranteed. Who knows if there might be villains among the heroes?
However, judging from the current situation, this is the only card we can play.
“Okay, let’s do it your way. When do we leave?” Eddie asked.
“No rush, let my teammates rest a bit more,” Annie said.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that the other three members of the "Saintess Squad" were not present; only An Yi had come.
After a long and tiring journey, An Yi told them all to go and rest, and then came to hold the meeting herself.
"Okay." Eddie suddenly realized that the Saintess Squad needed to rest for a while.
