However, the highest level they could see was only the level six Goblin Champion.
They didn't even see a level 7 Goblin King Servant.
Milu quickly scanned the area, finally fixing her gaze on a massive palace in the center of the city.
"There...?"
Based on the distribution of Goblin Centurions and Goblin Champions, they are indeed guarding the central building.
But precisely because so many goblins were guarding the area, Milu couldn't risk going over to confirm the enemy's information.
At this point, all we can do is memorize the other party's location and then retreat.
Milu retreated silently from the mountaintop, thinking as she went that it was fortunate no heroes had found her way here.
If they venture deeper into this location, the reconnaissance heroes will certainly be in great danger.
Their decision not to continue exploring after discovering the cave was the right one.
The reason this place wasn't discovered is simply because almost all the discovered caves surround this area, and we didn't explore it deeply.
Sword Hero: Have you made any discoveries?
The Hero of the Thorns: Behind the cave is a mountain, and behind the mountain, a goblin city was discovered.
Inside the cave, An Yi, who was hiding, nodded secretly.
[Sword Hero: Have you spotted any orcs?]
On the other side, Miluko paused for a moment.
She just thought the orcs were imprisoned in the mountains deep within the Goblin Empire, but she hadn't started looking for them yet.
Because the cave leads here, and she had heard that orcs would enter and exit through the cave, she assumed that the orcs were being kept nearby.
But she hasn't seen any other orcs yet!
[Hero of the Thorns: The orcs might be imprisoned in the nearby mountains. Whether we retreat or search for them, I'll listen to your advice.]
Miluko sent the message decisively because she was hesitant inside.
Retreat is the safest option; searching for someone is likely to be risky, both for herself and for everyone else in the cave.
Therefore, she decisively handed the decision-making power over to An Yi.
[Sword Hero: We need to find people. We must confirm that there are orcs in this area.]
But be careful not to get discovered. If there is any possibility of being discovered, retreat immediately and stop searching.
Hero of the Thorns: Alright.
Milu nodded and stopped halfway up the mountain.
If you're looking for someone, where do you even begin?
She took a long breath through her nose and then exhaled.
calm.
First, make sure there are no goblins around, then try your luck finding orcs. ◇≥［々
She remembered that the orcs were guarded by goblins, and that they would not leave the cave entrance.
In that case, there's a risk of being discovered even if you get close to the cave entrance.
The goblin centurions alone can cause a great commotion. Even if they don't run away to report, their shouts alone can alert a large number of goblins.
and so……
This, in turn, gave Miluko the opportunity to find the orcs.
Because the other side might not necessarily send many goblins to patrol the area.
If anything happens, just shout it out.
Moreover, Milu noticed something else.
That's where there are many goblin centurions, but fewer goblins below level three.
On the way up the mountain, Milu didn't see a single goblin, not even a goblin centurion.
She was very suspicious, because this was the heart of the Goblin Empire, so goblins below the rank of centurion were not allowed to move freely on the mountain.
In the eyes of high-ranking goblins, low-ranking goblins are no different from livestock.
Who would want these inferior creatures roaming on their noble land?
Of course, this was just Milu's guess, and she didn't know the actual situation.
For example, lower-level goblins might hide from higher-level goblins.
While her mind wandered, Miluko continued forward.
Inside the cave, everyone waited quietly.
No one dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the goblins.
No one was impatient; orcs were skilled at ambushes, and they could stay in one place in the same position for hours without moving.
An Yi was also waiting, waiting for news from Miluko.
He also agreed to the retreat, not for any particular reason, but simply because the Goblin King had now concentrated all his forces in his city.
Originally, I just wanted to try my luck, wondering if the orcs might be imprisoned somewhere far from the goblin city.
But if they are indeed imprisoned in the mountains outside the city, the rescue will be much more difficult.
If even the slightest mistake is made, it won't just be a question of whether the orcs live or die; 90% of them might perish here.
Milu might be able to rescue one or two, but the rest would only face certain death under the onslaught of such a large number of goblins.
Unless... three
They killed all the besieging goblins.
An Yi secretly devised a plan in his mind: to single-handedly storm the entire Goblin Empire's capital. Even if he couldn't save everyone, he would at least kill all the goblins.
Only by killing all the goblins, including the Goblin King, can more people be saved.
Of course, he would only use this method in a critical situation.
In non-critical situations, he would choose to retreat, as retreat would protect everyone.
He would only choose this option in a critical situation when it was confirmed that it was impossible to protect everyone, and that most people would die as a result.
Kill the most goblins to protect the most teammates.
Furthermore, even from a purely profit-driven perspective, he shouldn't resort to such methods.
After all, it's a large-scale dungeon, so ensuring that all participating adventurers can share in the experience and improve the overall strength of the adventurers is the top priority.
He killed all the goblins by himself, but even if he reached level 100, he wouldn't make a profit. He should maximize his gains.
Time ticked by, and An Yi was thinking about how to find a way out, while Milu was anxiously searching for the whereabouts of the beastmen.
According to the orcs, each tribe typically has no more than fifty households.
Although there may be more than one tribe in a forest, finding a cave in a large mountain range in the dark is actually not easy.
At that moment, Milu suddenly thought of a possibility.
is it possible……
Did the goblins actually hide the caves?
For example, it might be covered up with something, or it might be dug in some inconspicuous visual blind spots.
Or perhaps it's not even on this mountain?
"A waste of time!"
Milu immediately turned around and rushed back.
[Hero of the Thorns: I need the help of the orcs to find someone; they should be able to smell the other orcs.]
Sword Hero: Didn't you notice?
The Hero of the Thorns: Hmm, it's difficult. We can't rule out the possibility that the goblins have hidden the cave.
Lin Sword Hero: Okay, come back first. I'll have Aria go with you.
The valiant assassin: on horseback.
San'an sent Aria not because Aria was a better fighter or anything like that. In terms of strength, speed, stamina, and reflexes, she was probably inferior to an adult male orc, but...
She was lighter than an adult male orc.
This way, Milu can move around faster with her.
An Yi used wind magic to transmit a message to Aria: "Aria, go to the exit. Miss Miluko is waiting for you outside."
"Our sense of smell isn't very good; we need your help to find other orcs."
Arya was taken aback, then nodded vigorously and silently headed towards the exit.
Orcs all possess the [Stealth] skill, which allows them to conceal their form and eliminate sound, so they can enter and exit caves without making a sound.
After using [Invisibility], a layer of black mist will cover the body, making it impossible to discern gender or specific body type.
However, their presence can still be discerned with the naked eye, so we must remain vigilant and avoid being discovered by the goblins.
As soon as Arya stepped out of the cave, she felt a sudden lightness all over her body, and was dragged away by a dark shadow.
It stopped in the shadows again not long after.
The next moment, all sound disappeared from her ears, as if she had gone deaf.
"You can speak now. Don't worry, no one will hear you here." Milu didn't reveal herself, but her voice still reached Aria's ears.
Rather, the only sound in the entire environment was Miluko's voice.
[Skill: Tranquil Place]
The Assassin Hero is an assassination hero, and all the skills he possesses are related to assassination, including quite a few skills that can eliminate sound.
【Quiet Place】can eliminate sound in a small area, and only sounds that have passed through Miru's area can be heard within this range.
This skill can also be used on enemies, eliminating all sounds they hear and preventing them from pinpointing the direction of an attack by sound.
