They may not know what to do, but they still need to take some time to relax.
What if something happens that requires Lycorina to handle?
So after a while, the week-long "holiday" didn't actually decrease much.
Annie took advantage of this time to continue spending time with her family, Layton took advantage of this time to try for a baby, and Milu reportedly took a long nap for several days.
She would eat and then sleep when she felt sleepy, and then get up and eat again. She lived an incredibly decadent life. Maybe that was her way of relaxing?
Lycorina thought she had nothing to do, but just when she thought she could relax, a huge pile of battle reports had already been placed in her makeshift study.
Then she suddenly remembered that, after all, she was the leader of the heroes, so wasn't it normal for her to understand the situation of the entire hero world?
So he continued to read the battle reports from various places intermittently, often falling asleep at his desk.
Just one day before they were to leave, intelligence about Silvermoon Fortress and Svi City finally arrived.
The news they received in the Eternal City was delayed; whether it was the goblin counterattack or the appearance of the level seven demon, they didn't receive the news until two days later.
The message I received just before departure was probably from two or even three days ago.
By the time they arrive, the situation will likely be quite different from what they know.
"So, where should we go next?" Lycorina asked weakly, slumped on the bed, looking exhausted.
"I think we should support Silvermoon Fortress!" Layton was quite energetic, or rather, radiant every day.
Umiruko: "Whatever."
"So why are we discussing something so important in my room?" Annie asked, sitting to the side with a blank expression.
Lycorina: "Since we're already here..."
You're already so tired, why do you have to run around for a meeting?
Since today is the last day before they leave, Asel and Elsa decided to treat everyone to dinner, as they didn't know when they would see each other again.
There were more than three people there; Lady and Lulu also came and are now in the courtyard downstairs with Annie.
They met during the last speech and chatted quite a bit, so they can be considered friends for now.
However... neither Asel nor Elsa are quite good at dealing with Lady.
Although the other party is a married person with a child, the child is only one year older than their son, so there is bound to be a generation gap.
The most terrifying thing is that the other party is an enhanced version of An Yi, whose outrageous remarks make it difficult for them to respond.
Dad says Annie really likes Lady and also enjoys playing with Lulu.
This is a good thing; it will also help Lady, who is unemployed and waiting at home to have a baby, relieve her boredom.
Anne also asked, "Why doesn't Lady go to work?"
Lady's answer was, "Why work when you can live a carefree life of eating and waiting to die?"
Annie then asked, "Won't it be boring to stay home all the time?"
Lady said, "Going to work will kill me; it's better to live a boring life than to die."
Annie: "..."
Well, I'm speechless!
"There are masters at the fortress, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
"I'm more inclined to the other side," Annie said.
"They're just goblins, they shouldn't cause any major problems, right?" Layton said. "I'm more interested in what a level seven demon is like than goblins!"
An Yi shook her head: "The latest news says that the Steel Hero's body has been found."
"Huh?" Layton was stunned. "Really dead?!"
Lycorina also turned her head and looked at Annie with a puzzled expression.
Annie nodded: "Yes, and he died before his three teammates."
They were the first to encounter the enemy and the first to sacrifice themselves.
Judging from his remains, he... appeared to have been flattened.
Since the intelligence had just arrived, Layton hadn't read the letter yet, and neither had Lycorina, who was too tired to read it.
Milu did read the letter, and she still holds it in her hand, but as always, she remains silent.
However, she was equally shocked.
That's the Steel Warrior, a Steel Warrior who maxed out his resilience because he was too afraid of pain. He had 50 points of resilience when we first met.
Even a level 50 Layton has only just reached 50 points in his minor resilience.
The Steel Hero died; he was smashed flat.
And they were the first to die.
Does that mean he couldn't even withstand the first wave of damage?
Whether "smashing" was the cause of death is not important. What is important is what kind of monster could kill him, the one with the highest resilience, before killing his three teammates.
"What was his rank when he died...?" Lycorina asked.
“20,” An Yi replied. “I know what you want to ask. Whether he improved his resilience afterward is irrelevant.”
The key point is that there must have been goblins with a strength exceeding 70.
Miluko's pupils contracted.
They have defeated the most powerful demon, the Sword Demon with 60 strength!
Furthermore, a strength of 60 is already quite high; even Layton was injured by the Sword Demon. So, if the strength is 70...
With some amplification skills added, it's not impossible to instantly kill a Steel Warrior with 50 tenacity.
"Then, it might be a level six or even a level seven goblin?" Lycorina sat up from An's bed.
Layton: "The Goblin Centurion is a Level 5 Demon, right?"
"Are there really skilled goblins?!"
“I’m afraid so.” An Yi nodded.
It's not just a matter of fear, it's a fact.
Goblin Thousand-Man Commander 7 above 4, then Goblin Champion, then Goblin King 0, and finally Goblin King ba. 0ˇ」
The Goblin Champion is level six, the Goblin King is level seven, and the Goblin King is the strongest in the entire Goblin Empire, a level eight demon.
Although An-i was aware of this hierarchy, he still didn't know who had killed the Steel Hero.
After all, the three demon races above the Goblin Centurion all have the ability to kill the Steel Hero.
The best-case scenario right now is that the Goblin Empire has dispatched the Goblin Champion, who is not a formidable opponent for the current Saintess Squad.
But if the Goblin King's servants are deployed, things might get a bit tricky.
The fact that they sent such high-level experts to reclaim territory when only one of their fortresses had been occupied means...
They are determined to reclaim this territory.
If one is deployed, two will be deployed; if two can be deployed, four can be deployed.
After all, the other side had already deployed demons of level six or higher, and they still couldn't take it back. They couldn't swallow their pride and give up.
Unless the human side demonstrates absolute overwhelming power, the other side will definitely continue to send troops.
If their numbers increase, even level 5 demons would be troublesome, let alone a group of level 6 or 7 demons.
Sending the Saintess Squad this time must be for more than just the extermination of goblins...
Instead, they will face the next major dungeon, which is also the first major dungeon for newcomers in the true sense.
[Rank C Dungeon: Goblin Emperor] lin∵衫柳>♂仲quN: Country
The strongest units in Sword Demon City are level six demons; there will be no demons above level seven, so it is a D-rank dungeon.
The Goblin Empire's strongest unit is the level 8 Goblin King.
Therefore, this is definitely a tougher nut to crack than Sword Demon City!
By the way, although Sword Demon City can be conquered at level 50, it is not recommended.
Because once Sword Demon City is captured, an even more powerful demon lord will inevitably emerge from behind.
This is what is known as "beating the young and then the old ones come," and then layer upon layer of it is stacked on top of each other.
The specific reason is quite simple: these nobles belong to the Demon King.
But the Goblin Empire is different.
The Goblin King is not a nobleman of the demon race.
The demon race is divided into different classes.
If I have to say it...
Goblins are a bandit group located within the territory of the demon race.
They are indeed demons, but the higher-ups are too lazy to care about them.
Therefore, goblins always roam undeveloped dense forests, and goblin empires are usually located in a large mountain range.
The places where demons actually live are mostly highly urbanized, not much different from those of humans.
This is why the demons scoff at the idea that humans have defeated goblins and slimes.
The uncivilized bandits at the gate were wiped out, and they were overjoyed.
"Okay, it's decided! Let's investigate the goblins first!" Lycorina thought it through. "Silvermoon Fortress has Hilo and the others, and Sister Irene is also there to oversee things."
If the enemy tries to attack the fortress, Elef will definitely be able to handle it.
In contrast, what we should be concerned about is the situation of Goblin on the other side! (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the main topic.)
“Okay!” Layton, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, raised his fist.
“Mm.” An Yi nodded.
Miluko: "..."
