If the orcs knew that Elsa had fought here all night long, and even had the strength to kill a large number of goblins while protecting them as they escaped, they would be astonished.
The reason Elsa was called over wasn't just because she was good at fighting, but also because all her attributes except Intelligence increased with level.
In other words, she should have the highest endurance attribute among all heroes.
If other heroes fought all night, they would have cooked several large vats of food.
After Elsa learned to control her power, she hardly needed to worry about energy expenditure unless she encountered a powerful enemy.
Her special slime sword was already quite powerful, and controlling it didn't require any magic power.
Dealing with these goblin centurions would take more than two nights, let alone a whole night, and we probably wouldn't even get tired.
"How long should I rest?" Elsa asked suddenly after half a minute.
"Ten minutes, or fifteen minutes. If we rest for too long, the goblins might catch up," Annie said.
“Can’t we go and take care of them before they catch up?” Elsa said.
An Yi turned her head, looked at her quietly for a while, and then looked into the distance again;
"Yes, but it's not necessary."
If we're lucky, we might run into our pursuers head-on.
But what if they come from somewhere else and we just happen to miss them?
Who will protect these orcs then?
“…Hmm, that’s how it is.” Elsa pondered for a moment, and it seemed to make sense.
The probability of encountering it head-on is high, but it's not 100%.
While waiting in the back carries the risk of being attacked from the side, the speed of reinforcements is definitely faster than running around aimlessly.
After a short while, just as An'i had expected, the goblins were still far from catching up.
The Orcs didn't move very fast, but they maintained an agility of 15 points and escaped for nearly an hour. Even if the goblins chased at double the speed, they wouldn't be able to catch up in just over ten minutes.
Even the fastest giant goblin can't teleport, and the opponent will definitely bring a team, so they'll have to slow down.
While it's possible that a royal attendant came alone, the other side has already lost so many royal attendants that they wouldn't be so reckless and impulsive.
"boom--!"
Suddenly, a loud bang rang out to the orcs' keen hearing.
An'i's hearing was naturally not as good as the orc's, but Aria quickly called out to him:
"The goblins are coming!"
4. Before An Yi could even use wind magic to give the order, all the orcs quickened their pace in unison.
Even the female orcs, exhausted and out of breath, gritted their teeth and charged forward with aching legs.
Z escapes...!
H must escape!
If you get caught by the goblins... you'll die!
They finally escaped after running such a long distance.
Finally, they had a chance to escape and a chance to live a normal life.
How could Q get killed by goblins here?!
Even if your lungs are about to burst or your legs are about to break, you must keep moving forward without looking back!
At this moment, the male beastmen responsible for protecting the women and children on the edge threw the last bite of food they were holding into their mouths.
Although this bite of food won't restore much of their strength, eating can temporarily boost their spirits and make them better suited for battle.
This food was reserved specifically for this moment.
All the orcs knew that the goblins would definitely catch up.
Because they had been on the run for an unknown amount of time before being enslaved by the goblins.
They knew exactly what the goblins would do next.
"boom!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!!"
The sounds of large goblins jumping and landing echoed one after another, gradually approaching until they were close enough for An'i to hear them.
Elsa, who was behind them, also became alert and prepared to fight at any moment.
However, for some reason, the loud noises suddenly stopped.
It seemed that after landing on the ground, it stopped moving forward.
Elsa's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Did the other side give up the pursuit?
But all the orcs knew that the fact that the other side had stopped did not mean they had given up the pursuit...
On the contrary, this is a warning sign of danger.
Meanwhile, the goblins, using their leaping movement, spotted the orcs' location from afar.
However, the level 5 and 6 goblins, led by Gomon, stopped after chasing for a certain distance.
Because their method of dealing with orcs is not to rush up and kill them themselves.
In their normal, prime, orcs are no weaker than goblin centurions, and can even surround and kill goblin champions and challenge unenhanced goblin king servants.
It's clearly not a smart choice to confront them head-on.
The goblins will use another method to deal with the orcs, and that is...
To exhaust the orcs' stamina, rendering them unable to retaliate.
Gomon took a deep breath, his rough, muscular chest bulging high, and then he let out a thunderous roar—
"Roar--!!!"
Behind it, all the large goblins did the same thing in other directions.
"Roar--!!"
"Roar--!!!"
The sound quickly spread through the forest, startling the entire grove into a frenzy. Birds and beasts scattered in terror.
Meanwhile, the orcs were also terrified, their hair standing on end. The goblins' roars were an indelible nightmare for them!
Hearing this roar meant that their temporary peace was about to end.
Oh no, even death is imminent!
"The goblins are coming..." Aria reminded Anyi from the side.
“I heard you,” Annie said.
“No, not the goblins from before… there are more goblins,” Arya said.
"Rumble--"
Soon, strange noises came from all directions.
Before long, hundreds and thousands of low-level goblins began to rush into view.
That's the roar that summons low-level goblins!
The orcs felt a chill run down their spines.
It was all too familiar—those dull footsteps! Countless goblins were closing in on them!
Their nightmare has returned!
On the other side, Gomon, seeing a large number of goblins attacking the orcs from different directions, revealed an ugly smile.
The orcs cannot escape their grasp.
No matter how many orcs there are, they can never outnumber goblins.
Orcs are fast and strong, but their bodies are very fragile.
Even a goblin could seriously injure or even kill them with a single blow.
Orcs are powerful when they are at their peak, but if they make a single mistake, they will be surrounded and killed by goblins.
The larger the number of orcs, the lower their margin for error.
Because they had to protect women and children, it was difficult for them to avoid being beaten to death with sticks.
Gomon curled his lip in disdain.
Do you think a herd of livestock that can barely get enough to eat can escape the clutches of the forest's master?
wishful thinking!
At this point, the orcs in the fleeing group had not yet engaged in battle with the attacking goblins.
They ran forward as fast as they could, because even after the [Encouragement], the goblins were still a little slower than the orcs.
They have to keep running unless the goblins stick to their faces.
The key is……
What about the goblins that are surrounding us from the front?
Can you really "pave the way" by relying on the team that clears the way ahead?
Those are countless goblins!
With just a dozen or twenty orcs, they definitely can't clear them out!
If the goblins manage to break into the fleeing formation, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Goblins can easily kill fleeing women and children, and the male orcs, lacking physical strength, will not be able to protect them.
Was escaping really the right thing to do?
