Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

“Yes, if they attack the city in large numbers, we may not be able to protect the people,” another warrior said.

At this moment, Eddie fell silent.

From her perspective, she didn't want too many heroes to reveal their abilities in front of goblins.

But as others have said, if the goblin hunt doesn't stop, the enemy will gather strength for a counterattack.

In that case, people might have to evacuate in advance.

But if we seek refuge, another problem arises.

This was also a question that people were concerned about from the very beginning.

When should we seek refuge, and for how long?

Rather than letting the enemy accumulate strength, it is better to wipe them out as soon as they gather their forces; this has always been the strategy adopted by heroes.

"If there are too many, just kill them all."

At that moment, a calm voice came from outside the conference room door.

The man continued, "Goblins, no matter how many there are, are just ants gathered together."

Just like the Axe Hero said, you should care about your own level rather than worrying about goblins.

"And who are you?" one of the heroes asked, clearly annoyed by the sudden intruder.

Although the other party was also wearing a hero's battle suit, the heroes who could attend this meeting were all of similar level, so no one needed to give in to anyone else.

"Do you know how troublesome it is when goblins gather? And it's not just goblins, but also big goblins, and even goblin centurions can come and destroy the city."

"All you do is talk big; who will bear the losses suffered by the people?"

"Don't talk big if you haven't experienced the trouble caused by goblins, okay?"

The Axe Warriors have a certain say in goblin extermination, and even if they talk back, they don't dare to be too loud.

But who is this hero who suddenly appeared?

As if they had found an outlet, the heroes began to criticize each other in unison.

However, they did not notice that the faces of the believers at the scene were becoming increasingly gloomy.

"My esteemed heroes... please stop talking!!"

With short hair, unlike the other heroes, Eddie, dressed in a black bodysuit, stepped forward and said:

"Hello, I am Eddie Manning, the Axe Warrior. I'm happy you agree with my opinion."

I also believe that once you level up, the sheer number of goblins will be nothing to fear.

May I ask who you are...?

"The Sword Hero, Anyi Karl."

The soft voice faded away, and suddenly the entire room fell silent.

The accusations and insults silenced those who felt they were on the moral high ground.

The believers didn't dare to utter a sound, keeping their eyes lowered, because they didn't dare to provoke either side, so they didn't take the initiative to reveal An Yi's identity.

Standing before them was a hero who had just conquered a demon city and single-handedly defeated a level six demon sword demon in a duel—

Sword Hero, Anyi Karl!

But what is a goblin-slaying axe-wielding hero compared to him?

Not to mention the other heroes present.

The heroes who were just talking big suddenly blushed. When An Yi single-handedly killed the Sword Demon, they were still gloating over how many goblins they had defeated.

"The Sword Hero...? You are the Sword Hero?" Even Eddie was somewhat taken aback.

An Yi: "Doesn't it look like it? Or does it look more like the Thorn Hero?"

"Who is that...?" Eddie couldn't remember for a moment.

The other heroes were also taken aback.

“They’re members of our team, but that’s not important. Let’s get down to business,” Annie said.

“Sword Hero, please speak!” a believer quickly interjected.

"What's the average level of the heroes here right now?" Annie asked.

1 “Level 25,” a believer replied. “More than enough to defeat a certain number of goblin centurions.”

Upon hearing this, the heroes who had been hanging their heads suddenly perked up again.

Jiu: Yes, although they are far inferior to An Yi, who can kill a level six demon, they are more than capable of defeating a goblin centurion!

“Not enough,” An Yi said solemnly.

Qi believer: "Huh?"

The heroes were also taken aback.

"Is it because we don't have enough people?" the believer asked hurriedly. "We have already invited heroes from other regions to come."

Including the heroes of Silvermoon Fortress.

“It’s true that we don’t have enough people, but the most crucial issue is that our levels aren’t high enough,” Annie said.

It's very simple, because the highest-ranking unit in the Goblin Empire is the level eight demon.

Even in C-level dungeons, it's considered an exceptional existence.

The recommended level for conquering the [D-rank dungeon: Sword Demon Castle] is 20 to 50.

In other words, you need to be at least level 20 to participate in the dungeon, but that only applies to the clearing out of ordinary demons.

Only a level 50 team can reliably defeat level 6 demons.

The recommended level for the [C-rank dungeon: Goblin Empire] is not level 10, nor level 20 or 30, because...

All the goblins before that didn't even qualify as part of the Goblin Empire.

In other words, being able to reliably defeat goblin centurions, or even goblin chiliarchs, does not necessarily mean facing the goblin empire head-on.

When a large number of goblin centurions are deployed, it's as if a real war is about to begin.

At that time, both the Goblin Champion and the Goblin King's Servant will appear in the war.

The enemy couldn't possibly wait until all the centurions were dead before they made their move.

In other words, the [Goblin Empire] dungeon actually involves facing demons of levels six to eight.

Therefore, the true recommendation level is—

Levels 50-100!

Therefore, it's not enough.

Far from enough.

If you rashly challenge the Goblin Empire with a bunch of level 20 or 30 weaklings, you'll only be throwing your life away.

The Goblin King has eight royal attendants, and each of these eight attendants leads a four-headed Goblin Champion. The Goblin Champions are under the command of several Goblin Centurions, the exact number depending on the size of the entire empire.

Even with the addition of the Saintess Squad, they still have to deal with an unknown number of Goblin Centurions, and at most two or three Goblin Champions.

This is a war we cannot afford to fight!

Eddie looked up at Annie: "Are you sure there are even stronger enemies among the goblins?"

An Yi shook her head: "No."

"Then why do you say we're not high enough level?" one of the brave warriors finally dared to ask.

"Look."

An Yi calmly raised her hand and pointed to the large map in the conference room.

"What did you see?"

Eddie: "Map?"

The other heroes were also puzzled, wondering what An Yi was showing them, or if she was just trying to create a mystery.

Annie continued, "See?"

Humans are crammed into the corners of the map.

The rest is all demon territory.

As she spoke, An Yi walked slowly to the map, her slime sword covering the entire map as if it had been stained with ink.

Then, he manipulated the slime sword to reveal a small section representing human territory.

"We're here, right?"

The demons we fought are here.

An Yi then raised the slime sword slightly, revealing a small section of the demon's border.

Then, a few words were written on that small exposed area.

[Levels 1-6]

"Currently, the highest-level demon we have defeated is level six, so let's assume that the strongest demon in this area is level six."

So, what happens next?

An Yi put away the slime sword a little more and wrote numbers on a small area facing inward from the demon border.

The slime sword continued upwards, and An Yi continued to write two-digit, three-digit, and even four-digit numbers.

The slime sword faded from the entire map, and An Yi heavily drew a large "?" next to all the numbers.

"Did you notice?"

An Yi turned around and pointed to the question mark with her pen.

"Do you think that you're already very strong, being able to defeat a Goblin Centurion at level 20 or so?"

No, in my opinion, they haven't even stepped a toe into the door of the demon race.

Who can guarantee there aren't even stronger goblins inside?
