Everyone is a hero, but I am a second-year player.

In the past, goblins could smell the scent of humans and orcs. If the other party entered a certain range, the smell alone would expose their whereabouts.

But it's different now.

The simplest way to guard the cave is to have a certain number of goblins standing at the entrance so that they can immediately see anyone approaching.

And there must be more goblins on guard inside the cave, waiting to tip off the empire.

However, this also confused the members of the exploration team for a while.

Should we continue exploring now?

Or stop exploring?

It’s not that they have no opinions and can’t make decisions.

It is precisely because everyone has their own ideas that it is difficult to reach a unified voice.

In this situation, a leader becomes very important.

If the Saint Lady Team were here, they probably wouldn't have to worry about it, right?

Finally, after a meeting, everyone decided -

Keep exploring!

Not only do you have to continue exploring, but you also have to occasionally expose your body to the goblins.

Doing so is very dangerous, because it is very likely that the opponent will send goblins with higher agility to kill them.

But it doesn't matter.

Because they appeared in the forest, they could distract the enemy and reduce the burden on the expedition.

They are also heroes, not giant babies who need others to plan everything for them step by step!

……

[Today's achievements: Killed five Goblin Centurions]

"I still haven't found the Goblin Captain... Is it that hard to get more experience?"

At noon, the brave men were resting by the stream, and one of them was lying on the ground and complaining.

Previously, goblins attacked the city one after another, and it seemed that the goblin captain was not difficult to find.

But in reality, there are only a large number of Goblin Centurions in the forest. Finding a level 5 Goblin Thousand is much more troublesome than imagined.

The experience of many heroes in the expedition team has long reached a bottleneck, and they will not gain much more experience if they continue to grind.

"The enemy has realized that we are hunting high-level goblins, so it is normal for the Goblin Captain to return to defense, right?"

“Yes, in the battle in the town, the other side even sent out the Goblin King’s Guards, and only brought a few Goblin Captains.

In other words, the Goblin Thousand Captain is already a very strong fighter in the Goblin Empire."

"Hey... Today is already the sixth day we've been out, right?"

Fortunately, I didn't see the Goblin Centurion, so I didn't consume much physical strength and magic power, and there was still plenty of food.

The bad thing is that they didn't see the Goblin Captain, so they couldn't achieve their goal of upgrading their level.

"An Yi, everyone seems tired."

Licolina stood barefoot in the stream, holding up the hem of her already threadbare robe with both hands, letting the cool water wash over her slender white feet.

The terrain in the forest is complex, and clothes are always torn by something, and they are also easy to get dirty. After wearing and washing them again and again, the originally white brave clothes have now become very messy.

"What about you?" An Yi sat by the stream and looked up at Likolina and asked.

Licolina stood in front of An Yi and originally wanted to turn her back to the sun to block it for him, but it was noon now, so she could only keep her face in the shadow.

"I shouldn't be tired." She smiled, "We didn't do anything. We just followed everyone."

"Yes." An Yi replied calmly.

I haven't encountered any Goblin Thousand Captains in the past two days. All Goblin Centurions were killed by other heroes.

However, killing them would not gain much experience. After all, these people were high-level heroes who survived the battle. They had already broken through level 40 and were approaching level 50.

There is no way to increase the level except killing the Goblin Captain.

"Sha, sha, sha, sha—"

The sound of washing clothes came from the side. Ling was squatting by the stream, washing the black cloaks that the heroes would wear at night.

A large pile of cloaks was piled up like a small mountain next to her, and Ling's figure was very thin, making her look like she was exploiting child labor.

The heroes subconsciously focused their eyes on Ling, and watched her scrub the cloaks one by one with a brush, then wrung them dry and put them aside.

"We can't go on like this." Layton stuck a branch into the ground and picked up the cloak on the ground and hung it on it to dry.

"Really?" An Yi answered casually.

In his previous life, he actually spent a long time like this, moving aimlessly in the forest.

As long as you don't go deep into the demon clan, you won't encounter more advanced demons, and you won't have to risk your life.

So for a long time, we moved horizontally in the forest.

Kill the demons when you encounter them, then continue on your journey, and when you are at a high enough level, go a little deeper.

Logically speaking, if we move horizontally from our current position, we will be able to find the Goblin Captain.

But the other side may have withdrawn the Goblin Thousand Captain in order to preserve their combat power, which resulted in the heroes being unable to find him.

In fact, if you go in the opposite direction, you can go to other Goblin Empires and kill the Goblin Captains of other Goblin Empires.

But that would be much riskier.

If you provoke two Goblin empires at the same time, they will form a double cheese sandwich in the border area, making the crusade twice as difficult.

If An Yi was alone, it would be fine. He wouldn't care about which empire or goblins came, he would just kill them all.

But now there are twenty people and a puppet here, and he doesn't want to make the situation too complicated.

Those who come here are high-level elites among the brave warriors and cannot be easily killed.

But... there are not only two ways to go, going deep into the Goblin Empire or going to other Goblin Empires.

After realizing the current movements of the Goblin Empire, Anyi had other ideas.

These six days were not just for strolling around, he asked Miluko to do an important thing.

Just when he was thinking of Miluko, a black light flashed, and she appeared beside An Yi with a notebook in her hand.

"Did you gain anything?" An Yi asked.

Mi Luke shook her head silently and opened the notebook.

There are grids drawn on it, and several numbers are written in each grid.

The most common numbers are 3 and 4.

This is the goblin territory recorded at regular intervals in the forest.

3 means the highest level in the territory is the Goblin Shaman, and 4 means the highest level is the Goblin Centurion.

I looked at the notebook and it was full of words, but there was not even a single "5".

Licolina also leaned over to take a quick look and sighed, "Ah...what's going on?"

"Good thing."

At this time, An Yi suddenly said.

"Ah? They're all Goblin Centurions. What's good about them?" Likolina asked in confusion.

An Yi did not answer Licolina's question, but looked at Miluko: "You have searched all over this area, right?"

"Yeah." Miluko nodded and agreed softly.

"Such a large area is only guarded by the Goblin Centurion."

As An Yi spoke, he took out a pen from his pocket and drew a semicircle in the middle of the notebook.

"Excluding the potentially dangerous areas on the edge, the only one in the middle is the Goblin Centurion.

Then, we can protect the low-level heroes and come to this area to slaughter a large number of Goblin Centurions to gain experience points."

"Ah?!" A brave man sat up from the ground, "That's right! It's useless for us to kill the Goblin Centurion, and we can't find a Thousand. Why don't we let the brave men who haven't caught up with the level to kill him?!"

Leaving aside the first generation of heroes, there must be a large number of second and third generation heroes who have not caught up in level.

Killing the Goblin Centurion itself is very risky for them, and they may still be sacrificed even if they are fully prepared.

But here...

There are so many brave warriors escorting them who can easily kill the Goblin Centurion, and it is certain that the Goblin Thousand will not appear.

Then can't we just kill the Goblin Centurion at will? !

“That’s right! We’ve been thinking along the way that killing is useless, so we try to avoid fighting.

Now think about it, if we massacre a large number of Goblin Centurions, the Goblin Empire will definitely send out Thousand Centurions to deal with it, right?" Archer Hero Xia La said excitedly.

"Okay! Then quickly contact those newcomers who are in their teens and twenties! Let the goblins also have a taste of what it feels like to be slaughtered!"

"Haha! I love coaching new people the most!"

The heroes originally thought that killing the Goblin Centurion was useless as they could not gain any experience.

But now it’s different. It’s useless for them to kill the Goblin Centurion, but it’s useful to kill the newcomers!

"Ms. Miluko, let's go to the nearest city now and contact the people from the Brave Alliance." An Yi said.

"Yes!" Miluko's answer was very firm.

She was tired of searching the forest inch by inch every day! Finally, things took a turn for the better!

Licorina looked thoughtful: "So this is possible..."

She didn't expect it at all!

An Yi stared at the stones on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

To be honest, he didn't expect to find the Goblin Captain.

But precisely because he didn't find it, it reminded him of another thing.

In that battle, two Goblin Champions and a Goblin King Servant died.

That is to say...

The Goblin Thousand Captains are probably all gathered in the center of the Goblin Empire, selecting the Goblin Champion.

Goblin Champion refers to the champion among Goblin Thousand Captains!

He had noticed this matter two days ago, so he asked Miluko to conduct a carpet search of the entire area.

It’s for this moment.

……

The fifth month since the birth of the Holy Warrior.

"My king, two newly selected goblin champions have sacrificed themselves...! (Goblin language)" a goblin king servant shouted.

34 Goblin Night Raid? (4k)

"My king, two newly selected goblin champions have sacrificed themselves...! (Goblin language)" a goblin king servant shouted.

The Goblin King Gogin sat on the crooked throne, supporting his face with one hand, and slowly closed his eyes.

No rage, no sadness, just silence.

During the time of the Goblin Champion selection, a large number of humans began to attack the Empire.

The first humans to emerge were from the western side of the territory.

It was just a minor incident at first, with three or five people dying every day, but suddenly one day the situation changed.

Humans began to slaughter goblins in large numbers from the west, whether they were low-level or centurions, all were wiped out.

The massacre lasted for two days before the Goblin King learned the news and quickly sent out three Goblin centurions who had been selected to fight the enemy.

Since there were two positions for Goblin Champions, the intention was to have the three centurions compete in dealing with the enemies, and then choose two from the winners.
