The "dog-headed" beast warrior transformed back into a human, an ordinary-looking young man.
Other heroes were also observing from the surrounding area.
"There are indeed signs that the ground has been disturbed."
Soon, a brave individual noticed something was amiss.
The plaza itself has paving stones, but in the area where the Beast Warrior found it, the paving stones were scattered haphazardly on the ground.
It's like scattering floor tiles on the ground and pressing them down haphazardly, without any intention of laying them neatly.
"Let's see what's buried down there!" The Beast Warrior had been itching to get started for a while.
With a thought, his hands and feet transformed into the limbs of a pangolin, and his scaly hands and feet quickly dug downwards and outwards on the ground, pushing the soil out of the burrow.
Upon seeing this, the other heroes also used various skills to dig open the areas of the ground that had been disturbed.
Soon, a brave soul unearthed something.
That's goblin skin!
High-level goblins are quite resilient; once buried in the ground, they won't rot away in a short time.
Therefore, even if they are buried for a period of time, they will not rot too badly. The higher the level of the goblin, the less likely it is to rot.
Before long, the heroes were able to see the full appearance of the goblin corpse below.
However, the moment they saw it clearly, all the heroes were stunned.
Including Annie.
It was the corpse of a large goblin, so there shouldn't be any problems here.
The giant goblin's death was gruesome; it was impaled on a wooden post from head to crotch, but that was only frightening.
But looking along the wooden pillar, you can see a goblin crown stuck in the pillar...
"Is this... the Goblin King?"
"Is this the Goblin King?!"
"No way?! Wait, why did I die here?!"
"Killed by another goblin king?"
The heroes began to discuss it animatedly.
Why is there a goblin king's corpse here?
"Is it possible that a fake crown was made to impersonate the Goblin King?" someone asked.
"No, this must be true."
Unexpectedly, An Yi spoke up.
He continued;
"This explains why we didn't encounter a second goblin king."
Because the second goblin king was dead, the other high-ranking goblins, having lost their king, had no choice but to submit to the goblin king of this empire.
"That shouldn't be the case, right? This second goblin king was staying at home just fine, why would he come here?"
And he was even killed by the goblin king of this empire?
And another high-ranking goblin in the goblin empire is really thick-skinned; even after their king was strung up like a string of beads, they weren't angry.
"Yes, that's really strange."
An Yi lowered her head, looking at the Goblin King's corpse in the large pit at her feet, and said calmly, "I didn't say that it was killed by the Goblin King."
All the heroes were stunned.
Yes, who said that the Goblin King was definitely killed by the Goblin King?
While all the heroes were puzzled, An Yi noticed some details that none of them had noticed.
That is, this goblin king had almost no external injuries.
At least no obvious, lethal wounds were observed.
In other words, the attack either targeted the brain and heart, causing minor wounds. (Seven)
Or... sulfur
The goblin king was pierced directly through with a wooden pillar, its internal organs destroyed from bottom to top, causing its death.
Seeing the Goblin King's corpse suddenly connected many things.
First, the Goblin King must die before all the high-ranking goblins from the neighboring region will join this side.
Then, the orcs from the neighboring region escaped before all the high-ranking goblins could set off, aided by unknown individuals.
Then the answer is obvious.
An unknown powerful figure appeared, saving all the orcs and killing the Goblin King in the process.
But... why would they dump the body here?
Deterrence? Provocation?
Most importantly, who is the other party?
Are there any powerful heroes I don't know about at this stage?
They are even stronger than the current Saintess Squad, strong enough to slaughter the Goblin King like a pig.
Oh no, the other party might not be a hero either.
[Private] Hero of the Thorns: Someone wants to harm us...
Upon seeing Miluko's message, An Yi instinctively turned to look at her.
Milu's gaze darted left and right, and she hurriedly explained in the chat group;
[Private] Assassin Hero: Originally, the goblins here shouldn't be able to defeat us at all... that's right.
Then reinforcements suddenly appeared.
Someone deliberately killed the Goblin King, causing high-ranking goblins from other places to come here.
If we hadn't noticed their numbers had increased... we might be dead here...
An Yi stared blankly at Milu for a while.
What she said does make some sense, but...
[Personal] Sword Hero: Then why save the orcs?
Milu was taken aback, then covered her head and looked like she was deep in thought.
Yes, why?
If we kill the Goblin King and get the high-ranking goblins to reinforce us, then there's no need to release the orcs until they arrive.
Let them turn around? #: Killing all the orcs would actually reduce the human's fighting strength.
Why increase the combat power of goblins without reducing the combat power of humans?
Weird, so weird.
[Private] Hero of the Thorns: Is it possible... that the opponent who attacked was also an orc?
[Personal] Sword Hero: Perhaps.
That doesn't make sense either.
Why only kill the Goblin King and not the other high-ranking goblins?
Wouldn't it be the best course of action to kill them all?
The more I think about it, the stranger it seems.
What exactly is the reasonable and correct answer?
Before coming, I had asked the orcs if they had seen the appearance of a certain mysterious master.
All the orcs said no, at most they knew the other party was a human.
What exactly is their purpose...?
I have absolutely no idea.
"This goblin king had no obvious wounds, so it probably didn't even know how it died."
I guess maybe some powerful being suddenly appeared, killed the goblin king from another region, and sent him over.
That's probably why the goblins are too scared to come out of the mountains.
Suddenly, An Yi said out of the blue.
The heroes were stunned once again.
Indeed, goblins initially dared to directly attack human cities, but later they became excessively cowardly.
"This powerful figure must also be the one who saved the orcs."
However, it's unclear what the other party's purpose is.
It is currently impossible to determine whether the other party is a hero or a demon.
Maybe they're just killing for fun.
"Is this even possible...?"
The brave warriors were all ashamed.
It was just for fun killing people, but it almost caused them a lot of trouble! 【¨∩'liu□四∽+
Lycorina leaned closer to Annie and whispered, "Actually, I was wondering if Miss Shilo could do something like that."
“I can’t do that,” An’i said. “To kill it this way before the Goblin King could even react.”
Even I couldn't do it.
He can kill his opponent before they can react.
But you can't turn the other person into skewers.
