One! Not one left!!
"Ooo ...
The heroes followed Leif towards the throne, which had long since vanished amidst the various bombardments.

Lycorina nestled on An's back, munching on a biscuit to slightly alleviate the intense hunger caused by her depleted magic. Cookie crumbs fell onto An's shoulder.
An Yi did not follow the other heroes and orcs, but quietly looked at the goblin king's corpse, which lay dead with its eyes wide open, and the varying degrees of burns on the right side.
As if sensing Annie's gaze, Lycorina spoke while eating;
"It's strange, the attack on our town involved countless goblins."
But we only have a few hundred people, yet it says it wants to fight the strongest among us.
I'm really angry, hmph!
Lycorina kept talking and eating, as if she was venting her anger on the food.
"Aren't we going to stop them?" An Yi looked at the heroes and beastmen who had already dug the entrance to the underground passage.
"Why?" Lycorina asked back.
"The Goblin King said that it was the last goblin warrior."
"Those underground must be the goblin civilians," An'i said.
"Oh? So goblins can be classified as commoners or not?" Lycorina smiled, as if she had thought of something interesting. "Commoners or warriors, aren't they all goblins?"
"Just kill them all."
Annie turned her head as if to glance at Lycorina, but didn't turn completely away, continuing to look straight ahead: "Indeed."
As expected, this woman was born to give the demons a headache.
Jiu doesn't dislike him.
Rather, it would be more accurate to say that after experiencing so much, any struggle she might have would be disrespectful to those who died at the hands of the demons.
The Zero Demon Clan killed those people without the slightest hesitation.
In the eyes of the demons, humans and livestock are no different.
Humans should also have this awareness when killing demons.
Wu was absolutely ruthless.
Lu Xinruan's people go to fight the demons, but one day they will die because of that unnecessary tenderness.
When the heroes reached the underground, they discovered that the goblins had already hollowed it out.
Moreover, there are quite a few newly dug caves, which look as if the goblins are trying to dig tunnels to escape.
However, when the door to the room below was opened, the goblins surprisingly did not escape.
Even when the door was opened, they thought the Goblin King had returned and showed a hint of joy.
Then came the surprise and fear.
This was the first time the heroes had ever seen a female goblin, and she looked almost identical to the large male goblins.
It is only smaller than a normal male large goblin and does not have bulging muscles.
What was most disgusting was that these ugly creatures also had several pairs of nipples, which frightened the heroes so much that they gave them a quick death.
Sharing a room with these female goblins were some young goblins.
Indeed, some brave souls cannot bring themselves to do it. Regardless of whether it is a goblin or not, killing an animal's cub is a cruel thing in the eyes of some people.
There's less of a psychological burden when killing an adult, but killing a cub always makes some people feel uncomfortable.
Of course, some people acted decisively.
Goblins have never hesitated to kill human children.
Children's voices are sharper, and they don't restrain themselves like adults when they cry. Their heart-wrenching wails excite the goblins even more.
The adventurers soon discovered that the tunnels led in many directions, almost covering the entire city.
Inside, they found traces of goblins escaping. Judging from the traces, the goblins were not very big, and they might have been goblin shamans providing magical assistance underground.
The heroes did not let their guard down just because the escaped person was a goblin shaman.
In border areas, high-level goblins rarely cause death; rather, low-level goblins tend to roam within areas of human activity.
Even after the extermination of the Goblin Empire ends, the clearing out of low-level goblins will continue.
However, the task of cleaning up was not assigned to the hero, but rather to the orcs.
This plan was already in place when the decision to save the orcs was first made.
The hero needs to continue venturing deeper into the demon realm; he won't remain in the border region forever to clear out the goblins.
Goblins, being a demonic race, reproduce extremely quickly. If they are not completely eradicated, they will soon spring up again like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Orcs can conveniently operate around human cities, preventing the remaining goblins from harming ordinary people.
If each region had several hundred orc warriors capable of fighting, it would be more than enough to protect human cities.
Orcs couldn't deal with goblins before simply because goblins outnumbered them.
The goblins of today are not what they used to be; a dozen or twenty low-level goblins are nothing to orc warriors.
They could even easily kill orc children.
Even a powerful Goblin Champion can be easily killed by an Orc in his prime.
If there are enough of them, even the Goblin King's servants are no problem.
but……
The Goblin Empire has been destroyed, and the female and young high-ranking goblins have been killed.
High-level goblins will no longer appear in this area.
At most, they're just nine ordinary low-level goblins, as difficult to completely kill as cockroaches in the sewers. ″×
On the return journey, both the heroes and the orcs appeared somewhat tired, but their faces wore relaxed expressions.
As relieved.
The relentless feint attacks, day and night, were not only wearing down the goblins' will, but also keeping the heroes on edge, like taut strings, with no time to relax.
It's finally over.
But when they returned to the camp, they saw the wounded warriors and orcs, as well as the dead whose bodies could be retrieved and were covered with white sheets.
Everyone was once again plunged into melancholy.
Victory is something to be happy about.
But... some people still died because of it.
Even though only a small number of people died in this operation, it was not a significant proportion or statistic for everyone present.
They were comrades who had encouraged each other just half an hour earlier.
"Take them back..."
Someone sighed softly.
The heroes and orcs carried makeshift stretchers, bearing the bodies of the fallen, and marched in a grand procession from the depths of the forest toward the human city.
They neither ran nor sped up; they simply moved forward at a normal pace.
Anyi wasn't carrying anyone's body; instead, she was carrying the sleeping Lycorina on her back.
He was also responsible for taking care of Lycorina.
Actually, she doesn't get much rest. Although she can fall asleep as soon as she closes her eyes, her fragmented sleep time is never enough.
This sleep lasted for several hours.
After waking up and chatting with Annie for a while, Lycorina suddenly frowned.
"Anyi...have we...forgot something?"
Annie: "Really?"
Lycorina: "I feel like there's something... not right..."
Where's Miluko? Did you bring her back?
An Yi: "It seems not."
I forgot to recycle it.
Lycorina: "Why isn't it there?!"
……
After losing consciousness, Milu fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, it was already close to evening.
[Hero of the Thorns: Sorry, Jiu, I've passed out. How's Lin doing in the battle?] ∵△∩6〃4”
She sent it in the chat group the moment she woke up.
However, the next moment, she realized that the chat was flooded with messages about "[the brave warrior has left the chat group]", which startled her so much that her brain went blank for a second.
However, she quickly realized that "leaving the chat group" simply meant leaving the chat group, and there were two types of leaving: voluntary and involuntary.
The message that comes after the hero dies is that he leaves the chat group.
She didn't react at first because no one responded to her, so she subconsciously thought everyone was dead.
Milu sat there stunned for a while.
Everyone... has retreated?
Because they were no match for the goblins, they've already left this place?
Um! definitely is!
The goblin used some kind of magic to knock everyone unconscious!
