5. "Appearing out of thin air... Well, that's a very apt description; they did appear out of thin air."
7. While we were sweeping away a type of giant spider demon, a large number of level seven demons made of those stones appeared out of nowhere.
Now... I'm the only one who escaped.
Moreover, they emit dust that causes excruciating lung pain if inhaled. I was the only one who escaped; everyone else remained there.” Felia’s expression grew even more somber as she spoke.
The statement that "only she escaped" is not entirely accurate.
It should be said that only she could escape.
No one else can escape.
That's why she ran back to ask Irene for help.
“The wind in Marlene should be able to disperse this dust, right?” Elaine asked again.
"They must have realized this too, and focused their attack on Marley. And at first we didn't know their attack would come from the ground, so... Marley was badly injured."
At this point, Felia clenched her fists.
This is something that inevitably happens when encountering an unknown demon race.
Suffering unforeseen harm.
Because we don't know the opponent's magic or attack methods.
“Elemental creatures have a strong sense of magic. Perhaps they think that those among you with high magic power are the greatest threat, so they attack first.”
"Irene said thoughtfully, then asked again;
"So what are you planning to do now?"
"...Take some food over there, then let Marley recover and dispel the dust, and then have the highly agile warrior lead everyone to escape," Felia said in a deep voice.
“Okay, let’s do it that way then.” Elef nodded.
When Felia came to consult Irene, she really wanted to ask, "Should we run away or fight?"
If Irene has clearly given them the answer to run away, then there's no need to continue fighting.
Because Irene's assessment was that they couldn't win.
Moreover, judging from the number of these level seven demons, they are clearly not monsters like lords, so it would be a waste to waste special abilities on them.
Let's escape first, and then we can make a more detailed plan later.
Felia bowed to Irene in thanks, then quickly left.
On the way, she kept hesitating about one thing. (Seven)
Should we use [Swift Movement]?
Whether traveling quickly or bringing others from elsewhere, [Swift Travel] is extremely useful.
But is it simply for traveling, or for taking people to rescue?
Or perhaps, we shouldn't use it at all? (Nine)
It would be a waste not to bring anyone, but if I do bring someone, who should I bring? (Lin)
Senior brother? Seven
Bringing him here rashly might interfere with his attack on the Goblin Empire, wouldn't it?
Felia wasn't decisive enough.
In the training field, Irene took out the warm letter from her bosom, held it in her hand and read it quietly for a while, then fell into deep thought.
Appearing out of thin air?
Why do elemental creatures appear out of thin air?
Could it be that... some high-ranking demon is using spatial magic to send these low-ranking demons to the borders of humanity?
Is this a way to encroach on human territory?
No, that's not right.
Low-level demons like goblins alone can already inflict devastating damage on humanity, so why release other demon races?
Is it to deal with the hero?
Not right either.
Since the other party is a high-level demon who can control spatial magic, the hero is nothing but a fart in their eyes.
Deliberately deploying low-level demons to deal with the hero is actually an inefficient approach.
Moreover... regardless of whether the demons coming are low-level demons or any other kind of demons, if the other party uses spatial magic because of the hero, it is considered to be lowering themselves.
After all, who would go to the trouble of spending a fortune to hire a mercenary group and use the finest carriages to go to the border region and step on a few ants?
But the reverse is also true.
It's also possible that they came to the border region specifically to do something else, and stepping on a few ants was just a side effect.
So, what exactly are these earth elemental creatures here for...?
Irene quickly found the answer in her heart.
Perhaps, it was intended for use in attacking human territory.
Human territory is invaded by demons every so often, and it is expected to be completely annexed by demons in nine and a half years.
Now that half a year has passed, it's understandable that the other party has started to take action.
But... why an earth elemental creature? (Wu)
Those demons don't live in areas rich in earth element...
Wait a minute. 6
Elaine rummaged through the cabinet by the table and quickly found the map that Hilo had given her.
She spread the map out on the ground and scanned it.
"They should be...here...and then..."
? ! "
She discovered that the forest where Hilo and the heroes were now located extended down into human territory, where there was a large human mine!
These earth elemental creatures weren't released here to fight the heroes, but rather... to water them.
They came to colonize! Tumors.
The heroes simply encountered each other on their respective paths.
"Is this how they gradually encroach upon human territory...?"
Irene thought to herself.
Thinking of this, she stood up and put the letter in the drawer.
After leaving the training ground, he quickly found the believers waiting in the corridor.
"My Lord Elf?! Is there something urgent you need?!"
When the believer saw Irene emerge on her own initiative, he was momentarily stunned by her beauty, and then immediately asked a question.
Irene nodded, then unfolded the map in front of the believers and pointed to the mine they had just left: "Now, immediately, right now, send people to evacuate the humans here."
Demons are coming; they want to conquer this place.
The Saintess Squad is still attacking the Goblin Empire, and currently, no hero in the world can stop their advance in the short term.
"Can we get the people here to escape as quickly as possible before any casualties occur?"
"...Yes, Lord Elf!"
The believer hesitated for a moment because he was wondering how Irene knew about this.
However, when he thought that Irene was a highly intelligent being far superior to humans, he quickly agreed.
Regardless of how she knew, since the elf has already given such a "prophecy," then we just need to convey it!
As for how to implement it, that's not his concern; it's a matter for the higher-ups of Silvermoon Fortress and the Brave Alliance to consider.
After agreeing, the believer quickly left.
Irene stood in the corridor, holding a map in her hand, her head down, lost in thought for a long time. (Signature: ~)
……
It is now the third week of the fifth month since the birth of the Holy Hero.
The plan to attack the Goblin Empire is still ongoing.
The large goblins in the Goblin Empire's capital city looked dazed and haggard, patrolling like zombies on instinct.
They haven't slept for two days.
"Roar--!!!"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the mountain.
"Humans are back!! (Goblin language)"
In the royal city, the goblins ran numbly up the mountain, carrying weapons but with no will to fight.
Because this was the fifth attack by humans within a day.
Chapter 78 Has lust faded?
Since the outermost goblins have suffered heavy casualties, leaving not a single one remaining, the human attacks have become increasingly fierce, even bordering on "outrageous."
The attacks, which were originally launched once a day, have increased to multiple times a day.
In other words, after the goblins launched an attack, they relaxed their guard for a moment, and the humans immediately turned around and attacked again.
The goblins had no choice but to fight back, but they failed to kill any humans or orcs. After suffering some casualties themselves, the humans and orcs retreated.
Then they went back to rest, but before they could even sit down properly, the humans started hitting them again.
The goblins panicked and remained on high alert, maintaining a tight defense, just waiting for the humans to attack.
As a result, humans stopped fighting.
