"Bang!!"
A dull thud was heard, and the goblin centurion's club stopped in mid-air, unable to swing even slightly.
The huddled beastmen first squinted their eyes, then slowly opened them.
In front of them stood a man dressed in white clothes, his figure as tall and strong as an adult male orc.
In his hand was a giant bone shield large enough to block his entire body.
He held his shield high, blocking the goblin tribune's massive wooden club.
"Get up! Keep running!!" Layton shouted with a laugh in Orcish.
Without hesitation, the beastmen quickly stood up and helped each other escape.
"Roar!!"
Finally regaining his senses, the goblin centurion roared and raised his wooden club high, furiously slamming it down on Layton!
"ah--!!"
The orc children carried on his back turned around and looked at him, letting out sharp screams.
"Bang!!"
Another heavy thud, the wooden stick struck Layton's shield, only making his hands sink, not even making him take a step back!
The fleeing beastmen all watched this scene in astonishment.
That's a giant goblin!
One blow and they'd all be flattened!
This man... he actually withstood the attack so easily?!
"Smash it if you want!"
This is a shield to protect humanity! And a shield to protect the orcs!
My shield! A shield that will block all demons!!
"You mere goblin! Don't even think about hurting anyone in front of me!!"
"boom--!"
The golden beam pierced the goblin centurion's head, leaving a hole beneath it that allowed a clear view of the scenery behind it.
A stunningly beautiful girl with white hair and dressed in white appeared before the orcs, leaving both boys and girls in a daze.
She held up her staff, her voice gentle and soothing:
"From now on, this place is in our hands."
The hero has arrived!
Chapter 61 It must have been done by humans! (4k)
"boom!"
The flaming metal bullet pierced the Goblin Champion's head, then vanished into thin air as it flew backward.
"There shouldn't be any goblins in this direction." Leif, the Spear Hero, looked at the fallen goblin centurion, the old-fashioned musket in his hand emitting wisps of smoke.
On the other side, the fleeing beastmen suddenly felt a lightness in their bodies as a large number of flower petals, carrying their fragrance, pushed against their backs, easing their fatigue from the escape.
However, what they didn't know was that these petals grew from the goblin's corpse.
Before the Flower Warrior Kafi, a Goblin Champion knelt on the ground with its head tilted back, its entire body covered with vines covered with colorful flowers.
The most vibrant and enormous rose was spat out from its upturned mouth.
The goblin, now transformed into a work of art, is surrounded by five others, with petals fluttering through the forest.
On the other side, a goblin champion, whose very existence is questionable, lies on the ground.
Its entire body was covered in bite marks, with its limbs and torso mangled and bloody. The fatal wound was clearly from a quarter of its head being gnawed off, with its brains spilling out onto the ground.
One of the heroes looked at Kelfer, the Fang Hero, who had put his mask back on and whose clothes were covered in goblin blood, and grinned, asking, "Um... it doesn't taste good, does it?"
Kerfa simply shrugged: "If you can bite it off, you can swallow it. I don't care about the taste."
Except for the three-headed goblin champion, all the other goblin centurions have been cleared out.
Because the number of orcs was not large to begin with, there were actually quite a few warriors who could handle them, so no orcs were injured or killed during the cover of their retreat.
Escorting all the orcs to the edge of the forest signifies the start of this operation—
A big win!
Not a single orc died, and not a single hero sacrificed himself. Even those who were injured recovered quickly thanks to the heroes' healing.
On the way, Annie and Lycorina met up.
When Lycorina saw Any, she rushed over with tears in her eyes. Even though it had only been one night, it felt like they had been apart for a long time.
An Yi only said one sentence, and it made her lose her mood to make a fuss.
"Arya's family is all gone."
Lycorina's expression changed instantly, from sunny to cloudy.
Then I saw Elsa, her eyes red from crying, clinging to the Goblin King's arm, and I thought she must be grieving over this too.
Layton was also surprised to hear this unfortunate news and wondered if there was anything he could do for Arya.
Along the way, they also found Miluko, who was "dead" by the roadside.
She leaned against a tree with lifeless eyes, her whole body slumped there, as if she had turned gray.
...it burned out.
An Yi figured no one would want it if she left it there, so she picked it up and took it back.
Tell her "Well done," then pat her head, and she'll probably come back to life with a silly grin.
However, she certainly worked very hard; she's a major contributor to the success of this operation.
An Yi felt that she had done far less than Milu had.
Because many of the beastmen were exhausted, suffering from hypoglycemia, anemia, and dehydration, they made their way back to the city, stopping and starting, from morning until night.
The orcs entered the city in large numbers, and the first thing the believers did to welcome them was...
Let's hold a banquet!
In a square filled with food, both boys and girls, and children alike, stuffed their mouths like hungry tigers, not caring about their image, and just ate like mad.
The heroes weren't hungry, but they saw a reflection of their own hunger pangs in the heroes, which made them feel somewhat emotional.
Food is plentiful, as much as you want; the beastmen probably can't imagine how many "gluttons" are kept in this city on a regular basis.
I'm not criticizing the heroes, but their appetites are truly enormous.
The support team didn't even feel any pressure having three thousand orcs sharing dinner.
How much can an orc eat?
Do hundreds of starving warriors eat a lot?
How big are their bellies?
It's a minor issue.
After the banquet, all the orcs collapsed on the ground and fell asleep.
They had endured hunger and suffering for an unknown amount of time, and now they were finally relieved. They ate their fill and then fell into a deep sleep.
The heroes were also at the banquet. A large group of heroes lifted the restrictions on drunkenness and slept soundly with a large group of orcs.
Uncle An Yi doesn't drink or join in their craziness. He just eats something, finds a place to sit, and spends the whole night there.
"Ah... even the dolls are exhausted!"
Ruby sat on the ground, using a carving knife to repair a doll with severely worn joints.
She received a message that the doll had suddenly fallen apart, so she rushed over from her room to repair it.
"Ling," who spent more than half a month with the expedition team, moving things and washing all kinds of clothes every day, now has worn out the joints of her limbs. I can't imagine how much food she moved in one night.
Because it was relatively quiet around An Yi, she went to An Yi's desk to fix it.
3. "I can't eat anymore..."
Ling Nuo'er was fast asleep at the dining table in front of An Yi, and no one knew what she was there for.
"Huh? So you're here?" Lycorina moved closer to An Yi, watching him write something on the table.
She just went to a meeting with some resident representatives, saying that the orcs could stay in the city temporarily, and explaining the benefits the orcs could bring.
Although the residents followed the arrangements of the Hero Alliance, the Hero Alliance could not suddenly allow thousands of orcs to move in.
After all, they are considered "different races".
Language barriers and different customs can easily lead to various problems, so residents need to be mentally prepared beforehand.
After the meeting, Lycorina went straight to several dark corners of the banquet hall and finally found Annie after searching for a long time.
"What are you doing?" Lycorina pulled up a chair and sat down next to Anie.
An Yi: "We have gained several hundred more orcs who can serve as combatants, and we are now developing a training plan."
There are also plans to attack the Goblin Empire.
Lycorina: "Don't you have anything else to do?!"
An Yi: "What is it?"
Lycorina poked her chin and looked around: "Like... playing with them?"
Annie: "Is it necessary?"
Lycorina: "Okay, no..."
After sitting in silence for a while, Lycorina placed her hands on the table, leaned down, and looked at Annie with her face turned to the side.
"What do you think about Arya's situation?"
"Unfortunately."
