He wore a formal suit he'd rarely worn in his life, because he was about to meet the "Holy Hero," the High Priestess of the Aldrich Theocracy, Lycorina Aldrich.
Although the other person is a hero like himself, and their status is equal, but...
How could anyone show no respect to such an important person?!
Moreover, it seems that the other two leaders thought the same way, as they both wore formal attire.
Leif thought to himself that it was a good thing he hadn't come in his hero's outfit, otherwise it would have been strange to be the only one there.
The leader of the Flower Sea, the Flower Warrior, is a beautiful young girl with a slightly childlike face. However, she boldly wears a red dress that is difficult for ordinary people to pull off, just like a bright red rose.
Her red dress was adorned with white flowers, and her long hair covered one eye on the right side, with a white flower pinned in front of her eye, giving her a unique sense of mystery.
The leader of the [Garou], [Fang Hero], was dressed in a brown suit. He had shaved his head instead of growing hair and wore a black mask with a fang pattern. His thick brow bones made his eyes look fierce.
Suddenly, Leif felt that his plain black suit was actually the most unfashionable thing about him.
Because it lacks a sense of design.
You can tell at a glance that someone doesn't often wear formal attire!
Of course, he didn't really care; it was just a thought that flashed through his mind.
The three sat in the reception room at three different angles, each glancing at the other out of the corner of their eye.
They are all responsible for different regions, so there is no conflict of interest between them.
They felt more curiosity than hostility towards each other.
"Click."
At that moment, the door to the reception room opened.
Lycorina, wearing a saint's robe that she hadn't worn for quite some time, slowly entered the reception room through the door opened by two believers.
The three people in the reception room immediately stood up. They were all amazed when they saw each other's appearance, and then immediately bowed slightly to express their respect.
Lycorina nodded slightly, walked to her seat, and said with a smile, "Good morning, I am Lycorina Aldrich, the Holy Hero of the Church of Aldrich."
"[Dragonlance] Captain, Warrior of the Spear, Lev Conway."
"Greetings, Your Highness. I am the leader of the Flower Sea Extermination Team, the Flower Warrior, Kafi Riel."
"[Fang Wolf], Kelfa Grace."
After a brief self-introduction, the four of them sat down in a square.
“Now, let me explain the next steps of the plan,” Lycorina said with a smile.
……
The Goblin Empire's "Royal City".
The city has become much livelier lately, but this liveliness is lifeless.
The number of goblins has increased, but each goblin looks listless, patrolling like mindless beasts, moving aimlessly.
So far, three Goblin Kings have died, and ten Goblin Champions, including the newly crowned Goblin Champion, have perished.
This means that one-third of the Goblin Empire's high-level combat force died in the battle to protect the empire.
The goblin population increased because the goblin tribal chiefs remained in the city and were forbidden from leaving the royal capital.
"My lord, it seems that human activity has decreased," Gomon reported the message from his subordinate.
It wasn't killed by the hero.
At that time, due to the appearance of humans on the other side of the empire, it was urgently transferred to provide support there.
Because the humans in the eastern part of the empire disappeared for a week and then began to advance from the west, the Goblin King believed that the humans had moved from the east to the west during that week.
These humans possess the ability to kill the Goblin Champion, so naturally, they need to be dealt with by the Goblin King's Attendant.
So, to be on the safe side, a goblin king servant was sent ahead to stabilize the situation before Gomon was dispatched.
Meanwhile, in the eastern part of the empire, a different goblin royal attendant was assigned, supposedly as a precaution to guard the area.
Gokin's words were relayed by the royal attendant, who then instructed Gomon to leave before remaining to guard the area.
Unexpectedly, the day after Gomon left, a group of humans attacked from the east of the empire and killed the royal attendant.
Gomundu was still on his way to the western part of the empire when the royal guards stationed there clashed directly with the humans.
As a result, he perished on the battlefield without killing a single human.
When Gomon arrived, he quickly received another notification from Gogin ordering him to return.
This effectively meant abandoning the empire's defenses on both flanks.
As for the centurions, they were too lazy to care, because they weren't even a fighting force; gathering them together would only drain the surrounding resources.
The commanders of the capital city have now begun hunting large numbers of magical beasts in the surrounding mountains, drying the meat, and storing food.
This is to prepare for the upcoming human attack.
“Beasts always hide themselves before attacking their prey,” Gojin said quietly, sitting on his throne.
“Hmm,” Gomon replied in a deep voice.
The other four royal attendants remained silent, creating a tense atmosphere.
The Goblin Champion and a large number of Goblin Centurions are not present.
Rather than holding meetings, they need to focus on combat-related matters, such as training or patrolling.
"My king, what should we do if the humans come to our door?"
"Fight to the end, flee, or hide for now?" a royal attendant asked.
I should have asked this question a long time ago, but I never dared to.
They originally thought this might be a long war, like the war with other goblin empires, with constant minor skirmishes but no major war.
But both the goblin servants and Gojin were wrong.
Humans really want to take them down in a few months.
"Is there any possibility of seeking help from other countries?" a goblin king attendant asked.
"What nonsense are you spouting?! Asking other countries for help now is tantamount to handing over the empire to them!" Gomon roared.
"Isn't it better than the country just collapsing like this?"
"Ha! I think dying at the hands of humans is better than being a dog for other countries."
Gogin slowly shook his head: "If it falls into the hands of other countries, its fate is better than being killed by humans."
They might be killed as soon as they get their hands on them.
There is no such thing as treating prisoners of war well among goblins. Foreign lands are foreign lands, and there can only be one goblin king. Other countries will not believe that they can submit.
Keeping them alive is risky; what if they rebel and try to seize power? (Search: jiu￣♀4％″]ˇsan崚∩)
Rather than leaving a hidden danger, it's better to kill it sooner rather than later.
Surrender or begging for help will only lead to certain death.
"Now, there may only be one path left for us."
As if he had been weighing the options for a long time, Gojin pondered and said.
"If we evacuate at this time, the empire's demise will be inevitable."
Even if humans don't attack, other countries will soon come and encroach on our land, right?
We have no way out!
We've now entered the worst possible situation!
Sooner or later, we're all doomed anyway, so we might as well fight these humans to the death! Even if we die, we'll kill as many humans as possible!
"Yes!!"
Chapter 40 Assassination Plan (4k)
Goblins, like other demon nobles, do not cooperate with each other's territories.
They don't understand the concept of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," and they might even find the demise of other goblin empires amusing.
Even if it's not their turn to suffer yet, they'll enjoy every day as it comes.
Anyi had never seen multiple goblin kings fighting side by side.
After all, they are a bunch of foolish creatures who think they are smart.
Standing in front of the sand table in the conference room of the Brave Alliance, An Yi used the system to mark information that others could not see.
The beast-eared race was originally supposed to be a very important step in attacking the Goblin Empire, but plans are just plans, and not everything can go as planned.
For example, humans gained the trust of a small number of orcs, but after these orcs returned to the place where they were imprisoned by goblins, they were unable to contact the other orcs.
For example, before setting out on an expedition, the orcs hastily wrote a "book" for other orcs to read, with the intention of enabling expeditions that encountered other orcs to cooperate with them.
As a result, they didn't encounter any orcs along the way, and the book remained intact.
Of course, being prepared is always better than being unprepared.
Even if you don't need the things you've prepared, it's better than not having them when you need them.
In An's view, most of the sand table was covered in green. 4
After a period of reconnaissance, these areas have been confirmed to be inhabited only by Goblin Centurions and have been marked as "safe zones."
Four months ago, the Goblin Centurion was a fearsome figure, virtually invincible in the entire world of heroes. *Sigh*
Currently, their low agility and resilience make them almost the easiest to defeat among the level four demons.
Even a warrior who isn't particularly strong can easily break through their defenses.
If you kill the opponent before they can hurt you, then their high strength attribute will be insignificant.
Many adventurers may have noticed that goblins are designed to be killed quickly.
Otherwise, given the enemy's numbers and strength, they would still pose a certain threat to the hero.
The current "safe zone" extends up to where the caves connect, meaning that what lies beyond the caves has not yet been investigated.
They searched a certain area along the ground above the cave, but found no trace of orcs, only a large group of centurions below level four.
