Because above the King, the only stronger goblin is the Goblin King.
Should they continue to send the Goblin King's servants to deal with enemies of unknown strength, or should they send the Goblin King directly to the battlefield?
Would the Goblin King dare to gamble?
Obviously he didn't dare.
Based on An'i's understanding of goblins, once they receive news of the Goblin King's death, they will inevitably abandon their continued struggle for territory.
Firstly, it was a timely measure to minimize losses; secondly, the deaths of a large number of goblins actually made the empire's resources more abundant.
The original purpose of fighting for this territory was to obtain the resources of the forest. Now that so many goblins have died, and countless mouths to feed have been lost, it doesn't matter if the plan to reclaim the territory is postponed.
The important thing is that we cannot continue to deplete the empire's powerful military strength.
Because it's not just humans who are eyeing us covetously, but also other goblin empires.
At the same time, they also need to spend time observing.
Observe the situation of human occupation of territory.
Because they knew that only a portion of the elite among humans were capable of dealing with goblins, it would obviously be very difficult to conquer large territories.
As long as a large number of humans do not occupy their territory, they will eventually be able to reclaim it.
Even if we can't take it back, continuing to use the forest's resources by avoiding the tiny minority of humans is also an option.
The concern is that other goblin empires might take advantage of the situation, but that could also weaken humanity's power.
After all, humans can't tell which empire the goblins belong to.
even……
Even the low-level goblins themselves don't understand.
Once they cross a border, they become goblins of that empire; it doesn't matter if one more or one less exists.
It's impossible to eliminate the high-level combat power among the goblins by simply having thousands or tens of thousands of goblins.
"Then why do you have to call me? Aren't there other people who are more agile than me?" Hilo was still somewhat reluctant.
It wasn't for any other reason, but because Sislin was still in town, and if a powerful enemy appeared, he wouldn't be able to protect her if he wasn't there.
"You haven't used your special ability yet, have you?" An Yi asked.
"Hmph! I don't need to kill a level six goblin!" Hilo sneered.
Even with the enhancements, the Goblin Champion's resilience is only 35, while Hilo's strength exceeds 50. They really don't need special abilities to kill each other.
but……
"I almost used it."
Hilo thought to himself.
At the time, she was worried that An Yi would die at the hands of the Goblin King, and she even considered using him.
But before she could use it, An Yi killed her with a single sword strike.
and……
He even said something really cool!
“We need to explore the forest. If there’s a second Goblin King’s Servant, then we’ll have to rely on you,” An’i said.
"Only...only me! Huh?! That swordsman An Yi Karl actually needs me?" A flicker of doubt crossed Hilo's eyes.
She was very arrogant, but An Yi was definitely the most arrogant person she had ever met!
Because he always had that calm expression no matter what enemy he faced, it showed that he was not afraid of any enemy!
Such an arrogant person actually said he wanted to rely on himself?
This feeling of being asked to do something by a powerful opponent... it's... it's...
Not bad at all!
“Yes, there’s no other candidate.” An Yi nodded.
“Ku…!” Hilo felt his heart skip a beat and clutched the clothes around his neck.
Damn it!!
That despicable An Yi Karl!!
"What if the Goblin King's servant you mentioned appears in town?!" Hilo was still worried.
Come on! Convince me!
“If there were another powerful goblin here, where would it be?” Annie asked.
Hilo was taken aback, then suddenly looked up at the surrounding high places: "They'll definitely be hiding nearby watching, right?!"
Even she could understand that if the opposing side truly had other powerful goblin warriors, they would inevitably come to watch the battle. ▲≌√
Even if the enemy is waiting for good news in the forest, they will come when the goblin's high-level combatant dies.
The Goblin Centurion is dead, the Goblin Champion is dead, won't it come to check on the situation?
That's obviously unlikely.
Once the other side arrives at the scene, they will find that even the Goblin King's servant has died at the hands of humans.
Rather than staying to continue observing... there's a greater chance of escaping back to the kingdom to report, right?
Unless the opponent is stronger than the Goblin Centurion and wants to challenge the heroes, they probably won't choose to die.
This is a truth that all humans understand, let alone goblins who are afraid of death.
They didn't show it on the battlefield simply because they didn't feel the threat of certain death.
If a goblin of a higher rank truly believed it was going to die, it would definitely run away without looking back.
Just like the goblin centurion who begged An Yi for mercy before, and the goblin centurion who turned and ran away after seeing Elsa's strength.
"Sigh...! Okay, okay! I know!" Hilo thought for a moment, "I'll go with you!"
In fact, Hilo knew that there couldn't possibly be any stronger goblins in the forest.
Because at the very beginning of the battle, the heroes did not search for or dispose of the bodies, but instead sent other surviving reconnaissance heroes to patrol and search the surrounding area.
If there were stronger goblins, they wouldn't be able to escape the senses of these reconnaissance heroes.
Unlike when the Goblin King appeared, there were a large number of goblins interfering with the reconnaissance heroes' senses. (Feather)
Now that all the goblins are dead, the reconnaissance heroes, each in a different direction, are using their wide-area perception to detect all goblins, big and small.
The reconnaissance revealed that only a few scattered goblins remained within a few miles; the rest had likely perished in the battle.
As the two went to inform others of this, An Yi saw a familiar figure on the road.
Noel was carrying a large basket on her back, and her body was covered in goblin blood.
The other person noticed him too and waved, "Hey, Sword Hero!" Qi
She wasn't as lively and excited as usual; a faint smile graced her face. (Sulfur)
Many heroes died in this war. Even if she wasn't close to those heroes, she couldn't possibly still be as carefree and jovial as usual. 6
She's just cheerful, not heartless.
"What are you doing here?" Annie glanced at the basket behind Noel, which was a head taller than her. "Is it goblin meat in there?"
"Hmm, I was wondering if goblin meat could be used to make any dishes...?" Noel smiled.
"Goblin meat?! I'd like to try some too!" Hilo seemed quite interested.
Others might find it hard to believe, but when Hiro was fighting in the Sword Demon City, he relied on eating demons alive to restore his strength!
Because of the [Gluttony] skill, all you need to do is cut flesh off the demon and swallow it.
“Oh, right.” An’i suddenly remembered something, “Noel, your level should have increased a lot, right?”
"Mm." Noel nodded.
Because many heroes have eaten her meatballs, she has helped a large number of heroes and gained experience points that others could not imagine.
Due to the nature of her abilities, she actually experiences a certain amount of experience reduction in large-scale dungeons, so her current level is just over 50.
However, what An Yi wanted to ask about wasn't her level, but rather... her skills.
"Next, we're going to go deep into the forest to find out what's there."
"Can you think of any foods that would be helpful for us?" Annie asked.
Noel paused, then nodded: "Yes, there are those that increase strength, increase agility, restore stamina and mana, restore health..."
Oh, I've got a new skill: I can change my scent, making it smell like food.
Shiloh: "It smells like vegetables?"
Noel shook her head: "No, it's that eating slime will make you smell like slime."
Then, eating a goblin will make you smell like a goblin.
She suddenly remembered that she had actually come to collect ingredients because she wanted to try out the skill as soon as possible and also wanted to taste the goblin.
Hilo's eyes widened slightly.
This skill... will definitely be very useful when infiltrating the demon realm!
Scent-altering powders would certainly have flaws, but if one exudes the scent of another demon and speaks the demon language, then one can perfectly disguise oneself as a demon!
We have to find a way to abduct this child to the fortress! Lu
“Perfect,” Annie said. “Human scent is too strong in the forest. It would be much more convenient if we could change our scent.”
How long does the altered scent last? (3)
Noel closed her eyes and frowned, as if deep in thought, before finally speaking;
"About 30 magic power will last for an hour."
You were probably asking the system a question just now, right?
"Then, prepare two portions of food for each of us that can change the smell for 12 hours."
"Also, can the smell be eliminated? There might be creatures in the forest that are hostile to goblins," Annie continued.
