“Alright, first of all, we are the ‘humans’ who killed your husband,” Annie said.
Arya: "First of all... um?"
Chapter 54 He also lost everything (4k)
The rescue operation is in full swing. After being directed in one direction, the rescued orcs began to rush straight towards where An Yi and the others were hiding.
There were no goblins on the road, and the goblins were completely unaware that the orcs were fleeing at high speed.
The goblins guarding the cave were all goblin centurions. They were not very resilient or agile, and they died before they could react to the orcs' strength and agility of 30+.
If it were guarded by a goblin centurion, perhaps the orcs' rescue wouldn't have been so successful?
Soon, the older orc children who had been rescued also began to help guide the way.
The rescued adult male orcs then joined the effort to save other orcs after eating.
They hadn't fully recovered their strength, so they were the third person in the group to keep watch.
The rescued female beastmen and young children hid on the ground and in the trees, and after a while, they had grown to a considerable size. Meanwhile...
It also looks somewhat comical.
The first female orc who was rescued explained the current situation, and then when the other orcs arrived, they told the newcomers about the situation to calm them down.
Simply put, they are now saved.
They no longer need to hide in the forest; they can go directly to human cities.
There, the orcs could eat and drink their fill, and there would be no disturbances from goblins.
Although the beastmen were not very hopeful, and even doubted whether they could escape the forest.
But now that they've run away, they've already escaped, and they're with so many people.
Even if you can't quite believe the current situation, you have no choice but to accept it.
"Wouldn't it be better to let everyone leave in batches?" Arya whispered in An's ear as she lay on the ground.
An Yi sat leaning against the tree: "No, splitting up the battle would only disperse our forces."
If you were a goblin, what would you do if you saw a massive horde of orcs charging out of the forest?
And what if you only encountered a small group of orcs?
"If you see so many orcs... you should move aside, right?" Arya grinned.
"Correct."
With such a large number of orcs breaking through the encirclement, even a goblin champion could be surrounded and killed, let alone ordinary centurions and chiliarchs.
Unless the Goblin King's servant arrives.
But even the Goblin King's servant couldn't stop all the orcs from leaving.
A dark shadow flashed by, and several more orcs were taken to their hiding place.
After putting the person down, Milu turned around and walked to An Yi's side, opened his backpack, took out food from it, and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.
Her physical exertion was very severe. After all, she had high agility, but her stamina was not very high, only enough for daily use.
So, she had already finished her own food.
"How's the situation?" Annie asked Miluko.
Mi Luqi, kneeling on the ground with four legs together, ate and said, "I've found the pattern, the 8-pattern distribution of caves."
After the rescue, they discovered that there was a cave at regular intervals.
Perhaps it was through the goblins' calculations that the distance between the caves was just the right distance so that the orcs could not hear the sound from one cave.
In this way, the separated orcs would have no opportunity to communicate, and it would be impossible for them to rebel collectively.
Once they learned this pattern, after rescuing one orc from a cave, they would simply use the cave as a diameter to search in circles around it, and they would quickly find the next cave.
This greatly improved the efficiency of the rescue efforts.
No goblins noticed the commotion because...
All the goblins around were already dead.
At this moment, Milu glanced back and whispered, "...I can't hear Miss Aisha's voice at all."
“It must be quite far,” Annie said.
They moved quickly not because of the short distance, but because of their exceptional agility.
If you walk at a normal pace, this route would take at least several hours and would be more than 20 kilometers.
Goblins aren't gods; it would be strange if they could hear sounds from tens of kilometers away.
The reason the other party didn't rush back to warn them was partly due to the distance.
Why did the superiors have to travel tens of kilometers to deal with a single human being?
Moreover, An Yi had instructed Elsa to hold back, giving the goblins the illusion that she could defeat them but that they would be troublesome.
This would make the goblins think they could easily handle one human, so they naturally wouldn't report back to Zero.
"Shall we go check out the goblins behind the mountain?" Milu asked.
An Yi: "Whatever."
Miluko: "...Then I'll go take a look."
She was worried that if a goblin centurion came up and found that the orcs had all fled, that would be bad.
However, An Yi wasn't worried at all.
The Goblin King is probably still fast asleep, and the Goblin Chieftains are keeping watch over the city; they won't suddenly run up the mountain.
Goblins may be silly, but that doesn't mean they're disorderly. Since they patrol the city along fixed routes, they won't just wander off randomly.
It's important to know that this is the outer edge of a basin.
There is a ring of mountains separating them.
A large goblin is just a demon that is three to five meters tall.
Even if they were a herd of giraffes six or eight meters tall, they wouldn't be able to detect the anomaly behind a mountain six or eight hundred meters high.
An Yi understood Miluko's wariness and her unease.
There's really nothing to be afraid of. If a goblin in the city were to jump up a mountain hundreds of meters high, the noise it would make would be enough to alert everyone and make them hide.
Time passed second by second, and more and more orcs began to gather in the hiding area.
Not only dozens of orc households, but also orcs from other tribes were rescued.
This also made An Yi curious as to why these goblins had removed all the extra defenses.
The orcs wouldn't run away under the centurions' watch, so the extra centurions used for patrols were removed.
The rescue team, led by Beastman Zhong, made their way smoothly, killing goblins and rescuing orcs at their own pace.
Nothing unexpected happened.
This made An Yi wonder if he could just grab the Goblin King's head and ask him, "What are you doing?"
Why concentrate the defenses in the city? Why reduce the number of goblin centurions to such an extent?
You're completely ignoring the orcs, aren't you?
As things progressed more smoothly, Milu became increasingly uneasy, and she started going up to the mountaintop to check on the city more and more often, almost like she needed to urinate frequently.
It was precisely because there wasn't a single extra goblin on the rescue route, except in the cave, that she was so worried.
"Still no patrolling goblins..." Milu noticed that there was only one serving of food left in her backpack. Once An Yi finished eating, there would be nothing left to eat, so she let go of the backpack.
An Yi casually tossed the food from her backpack to her: "What's there?"
Milu stared blankly at the food wrapped in oil paper for a moment: "Is it dirty...?"
"No, I mean, what happened in the Goblin Empire."
“There’s something that’s frightening the Goblin King,” An’i explained.
"Why?" Milu asked, puzzled.
"Keeping all the centurions in the city instead of coming out is because they are afraid of losing combat power."
They were afraid that sending out the centurion would only result in more casualties.
As we observed, only the Goblin Centurion remained in the forest.
but……
"If it's for defense and patrols, the centurions can be spread out more."
It should spread at least beyond areas where humans have never been, rather than being concentrated in cities.
The fact that they are concentrated in cities only suggests that the enemy they fear may have already entered the cities.
"So they need to be on guard and patrol in the city," Annie said in a deep voice.
"Then their enemies are... other heroes?" Milu asked.
The same question also arose in An Yi's mind.
Strange, so strange.
What kind of thing could enter the city and pose such a great threat to the Goblin King?
It now looks like a turtle with its limbs and head tucked up, tightly huddled in its shell.
Could it be that there is another hero in this world similar to the "Hero of Slaughter"?
He wandered among the demons, constantly killing them and leveling up, and survived, becoming a nightmare for goblins in the forest.
If that's the case, then this unseen hero should be the highest-ranking hero in the world.
If such a person exists, it would be best to find them and recruit them; they would become a powerful force in the world of heroes.
“But… what does this have to do with the fact that there are no centurions patrolling around…?” Milu asked hesitantly.
Because she completely couldn't think of any connection, wouldn't it make her seem stupid if the reason was simple?
Annie nodded: "Yes, there are so many goblins here, they need to conserve their food."
