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

"The Goblin King's Servant has appeared. This is good news." An Yi walked to the center of the venue and looked around.

"Appearing so close to the town is definitely not good news, right?!" a brave man said pessimistically.

"No, this means... we can change the direction of our expedition," said An Yi.

"Wait! Wait!! Mr. Sword Hero, if you leave, what if the Goblin King's servants come to our door?!" a local hero asked excitedly.

The Saint Girl Team is the only one that can fight against the Goblin King's Servant. If the Saint Girl Team leads the expedition again, what will happen if the Goblin King's Servant comes? !

"Ling, take out the map." An Yi ordered.

Ling, who had been following him, put her backpack on the ground and took out a folded map from it.

By the way, because Ling's hair that was spread on the floor was too much of a nuisance and she kept stepping on it when walking, it was cut shorter, to waist level.

Back at the scene, An Yi used the Slime Sword to clear a dining table and spread the map on it.

“It takes about two and a half days from here to Shiwei Town. It will be even faster if we move at full speed.

What if we go from here to the east of the Goblin Empire?" An Yi asked.

"About five days?" Licorina didn't know Anyi's plan either, and looked at him in confusion.

"Well, so 'we're' going to be here for a week."

Anyi pointed to the east of the Goblin Empire.

"But it's not really us who appear here."

"Ah?" Layton scratched his head. "Do we still need to send our puppets like Ling?"

If it’s not true, then it’s fake!

What a coincidence, there is a dummy here!

“No, just contact the local heroes directly.

There are more than a few dozen of us fighting against the demons in this world.

Rather, the Goblin Empire itself needs a large number of heroes to carry out the conquest." An Yi said.

This is the first large-scale copy for the new brave warriors!

The local heroes present heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that the brave team was not leaving.

but……

"What does it mean that it's not really us?" Licolina asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

"One week." An Yi said these four words first, and then slid his hand across the map from left to right, "For one week, we will stop attacking the goblins here.

A week later, another group of humans appeared in the east of the empire to fight the goblins.

From the Goblin's perspective, what do you think would happen? "

"We were originally in the west, but now we are running to the east?!" A brave man reacted immediately.

"Yes." An Yi nodded.

“Um… Actually, I’ve always wanted to ask, how do you determine whether the Goblin Empire is to the west or the east?

Why do you think Shiwei Town is in the middle of the Goblin Empire?" A brave man looked at the map in confusion.

It seems that everyone thinks that Shiwei Town is right in the middle of the Goblin Empire?

"That's not important." An Yi said.

"what?"

"As long as it does not exceed the scope of this Goblin Empire, this side is the west and that side is the east."

An Yi pointed to a place in the forest on the map, where the Dead Hero and the Undead Hero were taken.

“This is where the Goblin King’s Servant appeared, and a large number of Goblin caves were discovered around it.

We can tentatively determine that this place is deep within the Goblin Empire.

Then the large area in the future can be assumed to be the heartland of the Goblin Empire.

Because the forest ahead has been searched completely."

Although they are not in Shiwei Town, brave men have been sending information about Shiwei Town.

This includes information from forest surveys.

Now the exploration team of Shiwei Town has found a total of thirteen cave entrances guarded by goblins. Almost all of them have been plowed around the open space where the orc children were gathered.

The current speculation is that the high-level goblins may be gathering underground!

Because they searched the entire forest but didn't see any place like a large goblin tribe, nor did they find any illustrations of higher-level goblins.

I think they might be hidden underground?

Now that we have explored the front, we assume that the area behind these connected caves is the heartland of the Goblin Empire!

Then the east and west of the Goblin Empire should be clear at a glance, right?

"The center is not Shiwei Town, but Shiwei Town is closer to that area on the map than our location, so it is used as the center." An Yi said.

"Then how do we know the scope of the Goblin Empire? What if we accidentally run into the scope of another Goblin Empire?" another brave asked.

“It is impossible to strictly define the borders of the Goblins.

But we can determine the natural borders through the terrain." An Yi said calmly.

"Natural terrain?"

“Well, continue to go west, there is a mountain range that is large enough to separate the two places.

And going eastward, there is also a natural barrier, which is separated by a rift.

Although it may not be the border of the goblins, the area separated by the mountains in the west and the rift in the east should be inhabited by goblins from the same empire.

It's just like you and your neighbor. Even though you live very close to each other, you won't live directly in your neighbor's house across the wall.

Another Goblin Empire shouldn't be able to cross these 'barriers'." An Yi explained to everyone.

"That's right!" Likolina stood beside him with her arms folded across her chest, looking very proud.

The brave men nodded in admiration, silently saying "So that's how it is".

learnt!

In fact, although what An Yi said seemed normal, in fact, what he said was not common sense.

Rather, the game map deliberately uses various "natural barriers" to block players at the edge of the area.

This is a fairly common setting.

"In this case, will the Goblin Empire withdraw its troops here and defend the east?" Xia La raised her hand and asked.

"Maybe they will launch a large-scale attack here..." another hero grinned.

“No, they probably don’t dare to attack human cities.

Because they are more afraid of the humans they cannot see in the city than the humans they can see. "

Before answering Xia La's question, An Yi first dispelled the concerns of another hero.

It also dispels the anxiety of the low-level heroes present.

An Yi continued, "Goblins are afraid of death.

Their attack on the city had already failed once, and a large number of high-level combat forces had died.

Now, if the Goblin King's servants enter human cities, there will be a great risk of death.

Unless they have more advanced goblins to back them up, they will not attack rashly.

As long as you don't encounter higher-level goblins, you don't have to worry about them attacking you."

No one knows, but An Yi knows that above the Goblin King's Servant is the Goblin King.

The Goblin King will definitely stay in their "royal city".

Anyi had killed so many goblin kings, so he naturally knew this matter well.

Goblins don't get stronger with each defeat.

Frustrated, they will just huddle together and concentrate their strength to resist the enemy.

This is why, after such a long time since the Goblin Captain went for the selection, there was almost no trace of him in the forest.

And it's not just one direction that can't be found.

The exploration team has been moving deep into the Goblin Empire, and the highest-ranking one they have seen is just a Goblin Centurion.

I guess the other party should have started to "shrink", right?

“As for whether the other party will withdraw or continue to guard here, it is difficult to judge now.

Then we can search the forest again and make sure there are no traces of the Goblin King's servants before we proceed." An Yi finally answered Xia La's question.

"Yeah." Xia La nodded.

Yes, the intelligence at this stage cannot determine the opponent's movements.

They were drinking and having a banquet here, so how could they know whether the Goblin King's servants would come or go?

[Forest Hero: Good news, the Goblin King's servant has left, and the Thorn Hero is leading the Leaf Hero to evacuate the scene.]

After seeing the news, An Yi said, “It seems that the crisis has been resolved.

Members of the Church of Aldrich may now write to the League of Heroes in the eastern region of the Goblin Empire.

Your Highness, can you write a letter to the Killing Hero? "

Licorina: "Ah? Of course, I can. What do you want to write?"

“Until the brave men in the east grow up, someone needs to ensure their safety.

For now, the only one I can ask for help is the Killing Hero." An Yi said.

"Um... can our team go with us?"

At this time, the Archer Hero Xia La stood up.

An Yi paused and said, “Of course, we can, but our primary mission here is to help you upgrade your level.

If the Goblin King's Sergeants have evacuated, you might be able to kill some Goblin Champions and Goblin Captains here.

If you go to the other side, you will have to protect other heroes, so you can’t go all out to defeat them, and you may not gain experience points for a long time…”

"Isn't it the same for everyone in the Saint Maiden Team?" Xia La chuckled, "We have all reached level 50 now.

Next, even if I face the Goblin King's Servant, I will be able to fight him by using special skills, right?

Everyone in the Holy Maiden Team also led the brave men of the entire city to defeat the Goblins when they were at level 50, right?

So, let me go.

Let us go and help other heroes."

The Hammer Hero who was in the same team as her also laughed: "Yeah! You have been protecting us! Now it's our turn to protect others!"

An Yi looked at them silently, then turned back to look at Licolina: "I'll listen to you."

Because An Yi felt that they could raise their level a little bit before leaving, which would be more stable.

"Okay! Then my decision is -

If you want to go, just do it!

But I order you! Be careful of the Goblin King's Servant or higher-level Goblins. If you need to run, take the other heroes with you and don't try to be brave!" Likolina said loudly.

"Yes! Your Highness the Saint!"

Xia La and the two people in the team said in unison.

The fourth person was the Leaf Hero, who was still on his way to be carried back by Miluko.

……

The next day at noon, Elsa received a letter written by Licorina herself.

She opened the letter on the street, looked at the beautiful handwriting on it, and tilted her head.
