"Yes! Run away! Leave the task of defeating the demons to us heroes!!" Layton shouted.
……
The next day, the expedition team prepared to set off.
Chapter 31 The Sword Hero is a Pervert! (4k)
This was an expedition without supplies; all food had to be prepared before setting off.
Although agile warriors could be sent to transport food, the location of this expedition was quite far from the town.
Since it's an expedition, and the goal is to distract the enemy and reduce their fighting strength, then it's definitely better to be as far away from the town as possible.
By diverting the enemy's main fighting force, the reconnaissance heroes can more safely search for the locations of all the orcs.
The location chosen this time is at least two days' walk from Shewy Town.
Even if Milu can move at full speed, it still takes a certain amount of time.
Setting such a long distance was also to prevent the enemy's forces from traveling between the two locations simultaneously.
For example, if the heroes of Shiwei Town advance into the forest while other heroes and powerful warriors appear in another direction, the Goblin Empire can only send troops to both sides and cannot concentrate its forces to defend or attack.
However, as things stand, the Goblin Empire doesn't seem to have any intention of continuing to conquer the forest.
After all, so many goblins have already died, and it's not so easy to replenish them.
Before setting off, Jiu An Yi was packing up her last equipment, while Nuo Er took out a pile of food wrapped in oil paper from her basket.
"Sword Hero, please eat well over there! Waaaaah—!"
These are eighty dishes that I prepared especially for you, as I stayed up all night last night!
When you want to eat it, just heat it up in a pot. Although it's not as good as freshly made, it's still delicious! Nuo'er said, sobbing as she spoke, which was heartbreaking to see.
An Yi: "..."
Why does it look like a mother seeing someone off?
[Thousand Heroes: Sword Hero, may I come to my room for a moment?]
Axe Hero: What's wrong?
Mud Hero: Heh heh, are you letting the Sword Hero go to the room alone?
Song Hero: You have some good stuff you're not sharing with everyone, huh?
Meanwhile, Ruby's face was burning hot inside the room.
Oops, I sent the wrong thing!
It's been posted to the public channel!!
I only intended to send this to Mr. Sword Hero!
[Sword Hero: Okay, I'm coming right away.]
An Yi also replied in the public channel, and the hero who had been making a fuss in the channel suddenly fell silent.
Despite the commotion, the Sword Hero and his group were still not to be trifled with.
"Anyi, what does Miss Ruby want with you?" Lycorina asked, leaning closer to Anyi.
Compared to the other heroes who carried large bags and bundles, Lycorina traveled light.
Because she has absolutely no strength.
She couldn't carry those big backpacks at all, so she had to let the strong warriors carry more things.
Fortunately, the food provided by the support heroes was plentiful, allowing them to recover a lot of their health; otherwise, they might have needed to carry even more.
"I don't know," Annie said. "I'll go check."
"Come back soon, we're leaving soon," Lycorina said.
“Mm.” An Yi nodded.
It wasn't that they were in a hurry to leave, but everyone had agreed on the same time. If An Yi didn't return at the designated time, then everyone would have to wait for him.
I feel really embarrassed.
Lu An Yi didn't even bother to control her speed, heading straight for Ruby's residence at full speed.
With the buff from [Wind's Blessing], An Yi's agility is not just 20+, but can actually be considered to be over 30.
Therefore, he can not only match the speed of the Goblin Champion in the [Encouragement] state, but also see the Goblin King's movements clearly.
4 It was precisely because of the [Blessing of the Wind] that he dared to stand directly in front of the Goblin King's servant that day.
If he really only has 20+ Agility, and is 20 points behind in Agility, then he will only face certain death if he stands in front of the Goblin King's servant.
2. It's very likely that before they could even make a move or react, they would be killed by the Goblin King.
Of course, if that were the case, he wouldn't stand directly in front of the Goblin King's servant; he would definitely take other measures.
For example, you could have a highly agile warrior lead you in an attack.
"I wonder how Master is doing..."
An Yi thought to herself.
I really wanted to spend more time with my master, but now I think the goblin issue is being dragged on forever...
Indeed, it's better to kill all the goblins as soon as possible.
Actually, goblins were originally a top priority to be eradicated.
This is because this is a type of demon that exists in large numbers on the borders of demon territory and poses a real and significant threat to humanity.
Take the Sword Demon Castle for example; the demons there are definitely less dangerous to humans than goblins.
They will only stay in their own places and launch a major attack when they truly need to send troops to fight against humanity.
Goblins are different; they freely venture into human territory to kill, not for resources, but simply for the pleasure of killing.
However, even setting aside the goblins' evil deeds, just talking about the mission itself, we still need to find a way to get rid of the goblins.
Because this is a main quest.
In the Goblin Empire, the highest-ranking demon is the level eight demon, the Goblin King.
Above that are the level nine and level ten demons.
Level 9 demons have slightly higher attributes than level 8 demons, but when a demon reaches level 10, its attributes will be significantly higher than those of a level 9 demon.
In their previous lives, countless heroes died during the transition from level nine demons to fighting level ten demons, all because they were caught off guard by the sudden surge in their attributes.
At this point, the equipment provided by the main quest becomes crucial, especially after completing stage 8.
In less than three minutes, Annie appeared in front of Ruby's door and knocked.
"You're dressed this time, aren't you?" An Yi asked from outside the door.
"I'm wearing it! I'm wearing it! I'm wearing it!!"
Ruby's voice came from inside, and then she hurriedly opened the door.
Upon seeing An Yi, she suddenly glanced at her own attire in a flustered manner.
Because she was worried about getting her hero's outfit dirty, she wore a cheap and plain set of clothes and an apron covered in dye.
Although I wore clothes this time...
I forgot to change my clothes!
"I'm so sorry!!" Ruby knelt down with a thud and prostrated herself on the ground to apologize.
An Yi: "..."
The Hero Who Dares to Pierce?
An Yi looked down at her: "So, what do you need me for?"
Ruby jumped up again, her eyes gleaming with fervor: "Yes! I'd like to show my work to the Sword Hero!"
An Yi: "Do I really have to come?"
Ruby's mind went blank for a moment; she never expected Annie to ask such a question.
Yes, why does it have to be the Sword Hero who comes to see this?
An Yi added, "Is it because you consider me a friend?"
Ruby: "Ah... oh right! Yes, yes, yes! It's because I consider the Sword Hero a friend!!"
The reason was that I didn't know anyone else, and calling Miluko wouldn't have made a difference, so I could only think of Anyi.
An Yi: "..."
You lied.
Don't react like that guy when he lies.
An Yi didn't care. The fact that the other party thought of her must be related to her identity and status. She was the only one who could make decisions about such matters.
“What about the artwork?” Annie asked.
"At this!"
Ruby, dragging her long hair, jogged into the room.
Upon entering the room, Annie discovered that Ruby had completely renovated it.
None of the rooms in the temporary accommodations had a living room; the doors opened directly onto a bedroom.
The bed in the bedroom already takes up most of the space, leaving only enough room for one person to walk around it.
Now the bed is gone; the bed frame has been dismantled into wooden slats and leaned against the wall, and the bedding has been rolled up and thrown into a corner of the room.
The center of the room had completely become Ruby's "territory".
The poor bed sheet was spread on the floor, covered with various carving tools, scraps of carved material, and dripping paint.
Near the window, you can see something about Ruby's height covered by a blanket.
"Sword Hero, take a good look! This is my masterpiece of pride!"
"Oh!"
