Even if they reproduce, the only offspring they can produce are those of the Goblin Centurion.
If one is not born with exceptional talent, it is very difficult to advance to the rank of centurion in one's lifetime.
Most of the level 2 goblins who can advance to centurion are descendants of centurions, and the same goes for ordinary goblins who can advance to goblin shamans.
As for level 2 and level 1 goblins, they also have their own breeding system, which distinguishes them from level 3 and level 4 goblins.
In other words, each social class is fixed based on bloodline; if the parents aren't powerful, then that's where you are for life.
The Goblin King's children generally have the potential to become Goblin Champions, while some exceptionally talented individuals can become Goblin King's Attendants.
Only the most talented among them can rightfully succeed to the throne after the previous king grows old.
Why did the powerful King Goqimeng, upon seeing the weak and cowardly King Goqimeng, not intend to usurp the throne, but instead choose to continue protecting him?
The answer is simple: Gogin is its father.
And it is the most talented of the Goblin King's attendants.
The throne will be his sooner or later, but once the empire is gone, he will have nothing left. He might as well think about how to deal with humanity.
Reaching the deepest part of the passage, Gomon knocked on the door: "My king, I have some bad news..."
"Have humans come?!"
A thunderous roar came from inside.
“No, it’s the Beast-Eared Tribe. The livestock have escaped,” Gomon replied.
The other person seemed relieved and asked again, "Run? How did you run away?"
Goblins speak very loudly; what sounds like a normal volume to them can easily penetrate a wooden door.
"I heard that humans helped them escape," Gomon said solemnly.
"Humans?!" Gogin's tone became agitated again. "Why would humans help them?! Shouldn't they be mortal enemies with humans?!"
Gomon shook his head: "I don't know either. Because of the emergency, I didn't ask any further questions."
Please tell me, should we pursue them or let them go...?
"Chase them!! Do you even need to ask?!"
An angry roar came from the room.
"These beast-eared tribes received help from humans. What do you think the humans wanted in return for helping them?!"
If we don't chase after them and kill them now, they'll kill us when they come back!
There's no need to overthink it; the humans are helping the orcs to get their assistance in attacking the royal city!
Moreover... saving the orcs means they have found the location of the royal city!
Next, humans and orcs will definitely join forces to attack them.
“Okay, I’ll go now.” Gomon turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Gogin shouted, then paused for a moment before continuing; lin
"Humans can't rescue people without any preparation. Take fifty elite troops, gather centurions, and reduce the enemy's numbers as much as possible."
If you encounter a large number of humans, return immediately without hesitation.
I cannot afford to lose another royal attendant.
Gomon clenched his fists: "Yes!"
……
Half an hour has passed since I met up with Elsa.
When the orcs encountered Elsa before, it caused a wave of panic. After all, even heroes who knew Elsa were frightened by her murderous aura, let alone the orcs who were seeing her for the first time.
Many beastmen were so frightened by her murderous aura that their legs went weak and their fur stood on end. Beastman children even cried in large numbers.
There was no other way but to send Milu to tell Elsa to take a detour and then go to the rear to cover their retreat.
An Yi had already guessed that this situation would occur; rather, it would be more accurate to say that he deliberately let the beastmen feel this murderous aura.
Because he wanted the orcs to know that such a terrifying being existed among their allies.
So, after the initial shock subsided, it was like giving the orcs a shot in the arm.
With such terrifying beings existing, there's no need to worry even if goblins come, right?
After leaving Elsa to cover their retreat, Milu quickly left the main force and headed towards human territory.
Now that the orcs have been rescued, the next step is to get the heroes to come and meet them.
Most of the orcs were still starving, and the food brought by the rescue team was not enough to go around, so they were running very slowly.
If the heroes don't hurry to provide support, they are likely to be caught up by the goblins and suffer casualties.
There's no need to worry about the centurions that appear on the escape route.
The goblin centurions kept appearing to block their way, but they didn't have time to hurt anyone before being killed by the orcs who were opening up the path.
An Yi and Arya cleared the way together, giving Arya ample opportunity to shine, and he hardly had to make a move himself.
That's good, it allows us to conserve our energy.
He wasn't one to seek the limelight, and he didn't care even though he hadn't done much in this operation.
In fact, An Yi felt it was best if she didn't have the opportunity to make a move.
Because his intervention signifies the emergence of an enemy that the orcs cannot handle.
I imagine the goblins have already noticed the orcs' situation and started to respond, right?
To pursue or not to pursue?
There are two situations.
The other side should be able to realize that humans will one day join forces with orcs to attack the Goblin Empire.
If they pursue them, they can reduce the number of orcs as much as possible before the orcs return to their peak.
Not pursuing is to preserve strength to the greatest extent possible, to avoid encountering enemies of unknown strength during the pursuit, and to prepare for future attacks.
If it's the former, then An Yi can only say...
If you're not afraid of dying, then come on!
If the opponent sends out a Goblin King's servant, An Yi will kill him without hesitation.
In this way, the opponent will only have four royal attendants left to use.
That will reduce the pressure on all the heroes who are going to fight.
However, it will probably take some time for the goblins to arrive.
It will take the goblins some time to catch up while the orcs keep moving.
Elsa is also there, so it's not necessary to be too nervous.
After traveling for another ten minutes or so, an orc who had been clearing a path from another direction sped up and arrived beside An'i.
"Some people are exhausted! They need to rest!" the orc reported in simple human language.
“Okay, then let’s rest.” An Yi nodded.
After speaking, he used wind magic to spread his voice rapidly within a certain range;
"Everyone, stop and take a break."
Physical recovery.
I'll say it again: stop and rest to recover your strength.
Upon hearing that they could rest, some of the orcs collapsed to the ground as if they had lost all their strength, panting heavily.
Many orcs didn't know what was happening, but when they saw that those clearing the way had stopped, they all stopped as well.
It's better if they don't rest; many orcs collapsed as soon as they did.
To be honest, taking a sudden break is actually detrimental to the escape.
Many people flee on sheer willpower, running as if they were burning out their own lives.
But after suddenly stopping, he couldn't catch his breath.
They had no way to quickly recover their lost physical strength, and their willpower was exhausted, so many of them simply couldn't run anymore.
However, some orcs simply cannot endure this without resting here.
They are not a race with great endurance to begin with, so running away at half their full speed is like doing an extremely long period of fasted aerobic exercise.
It wasn't just the male orcs running; the female orcs were also carrying heavy loads, their stamina far inferior to that of the males.
Over time, they fell down in large swaths.
Male orcs can't carry many, and younger orc children are even less physically strong.
Even if a child has energy, it's only on the basis of normal eating and drinking. They can't even eat a few bites of food, and they're exhausted after running a few steps.
"This is your responsibility," An'i instructed Aria. "As soon as you hear the goblins, lead the other orcs and run, understand?"
"Hmm!" Arya was also exhausted, her flushed face covered in sweat.
"I'm going to find Miss Elsa."
Chapter 57 Skill: Royal Attendant's Order (4k)
Elsa also heard An'i's voice, but she couldn't understand the orc language.
The beastmen all stopped, but she didn't stop; instead, she continued forward.
The orcs, who were already exhausted, entered her killing intent range, and their strong will to survive made them scramble forward to escape.
Later, it was An Yi who quickly reached the back of the group and silently pulled Elsa back, and only then did they finally relax.
Elsa stopped and looked at An Yi with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Karl, what's wrong? Why did you stop all of a sudden?"
“Let’s take a break; some of the orcs can’t run anymore,” An’i said.
“Okay.” Elsa nodded.
