"Can you smell the goblins?" Milu asked again.

Arya: "They're everywhere!"

Not only are there goblins patrolling here, but their bodily fluids and feces also leave a strong odor that permeates the air and fills Arya's sense of smell.

"Then, is there any way to find your clansmen? If not, we'll retreat," Miluko continued.

"Retreat?...Let's search first!"

"If I get closer to the cave, I might be able to smell the scent of my own kind!" Arya said excitedly.

Having already come this far, she had no intention of retreating!

What if our people are really here?!

What if her siblings, her parents, were here?

She trained so hard to get here, how could she just go back like this?!

“Alright, five minutes. We’ll search for five minutes. If we don’t find anything, we’ll retreat,” Milu said solemnly.

Arya nodded: "Mm!"

Five minutes is fine!

Miru can set a timer within the system, pop a piece of food into her mouth to replenish her magic, then close the [Tranquil Land] and head in one direction with Aria.

Arya's agility is not as high as Milu's, so she only needs to activate [Stealth] and let Milu carry her to move.

As she was being moved, she closed her eyes and savored all the scents in the air.

The forest environment is extremely complex, and all sorts of smells can be found, which is undoubtedly a considerable test for Arya.

Moreover, we are currently moving at high speed, and many smells just pass by our noses. The only smell we can detect is the stench of goblins.

Time passed second by second, and three minutes had already gone by on Miluko's timer.

Considering that she couldn't stray too far from the cave, Milu changed direction every minute, which also made it easier for Aria to confirm the smell from different directions.

"Still can't find it...?"

Milu thought to herself.

That makes sense; if we're talking about smell, the cave should be the place with the strongest odor.

but……

The entrance to the cave is usually guarded by goblins!

The goblin's scent masked the other smells inside the cave, so how could it not be hard to find?

It's understandable that they're hard to find.

Another minute passed, and Milu turned around again.

Arya was getting anxious. She could sense that Dumir was adjusting his direction and knew that he was adjusting according to a certain time pattern.

The other party has made several adjustments, which means... time is running out.

"I can't find it...! Why?!"

Could it be that the orcs aren't even on this mountain?!

[Hero of the Thorns: There's still one minute left, and Aria still hasn't been found.]

Sword Hero: Whether or not we can find him is no longer of much significance.

Hero of the Thorns: Why?

Sword Hero: Our plan this time is to rely on the orcs to launch a sneak attack, rescue a large number of orcs at once, and then have these orcs rescue other orcs.

Now, Arya's sense of smell is completely unable to locate her people. Do you think the other orcs could find them so easily?

In other words, our original plan is no longer useful.

There's no need to rush; it's better to retreat as soon as possible.

The enemy currently does not know what we are going to do.

From the goblin's perspective, it was just that a human outside had inexplicably caused a ruckus.

They had no idea what was happening inside or outside the cave.

Just as Miluko was reporting, the last minute passed in the blink of an eye.

Miluko changed direction again, but this time she headed straight back towards the cave.

She patted Arya twice to indicate that time was up.

Arya had no choice but to hang her head in frustration.

"As expected... I still can't find it...?"

However, at that moment, Milu stepped over a boulder and leaped into the air.

"?!"

At that very moment, they both saw a cave several meters in size appear behind the boulder that had blocked their view.

What also appeared in their sight was a goblin centurion standing at the entrance of the cave.

Their gazes also fell upon them.

"We've been discovered?!" Milu was shocked.

Chapter 52 No more retreat, save them! (4k)

"We've been discovered?!"

Milu was shocked, but she didn't hesitate for a moment. She flashed over the cave and quickly hid with Aria.

[The Hero of the Thorns: The Goblin Centurion Saw Him!]

Still shaken, she reported the incident to An Yi.

She met the other person's gaze!

[Sword Hero: Don't worry, as long as the other party hasn't made a sound, it's not dangerous.]

Hide and observe the situation first.

Miluko and Aria hid in a tree, breathing heavily, as if they were afraid that the enemy would discover them if they paused to catch their breath.

However, the other party did not make any sound.

The goblin centurion emerged from the cave and looked around.

It seemed to see a dark shadow flash past its head, but it couldn't make out the shape of the shadow or even what kind of creature it was.

However, it was only a little curious and didn't pay much attention.

After all, this is a deep mountain, so it's not surprising to see some flying magical beasts here.

Many flying magical beasts are nocturnal, hunting in the middle of the night; it has seen this many times.

After a while, Milu reported the news to An Yi.

[Hero of the Thorns: The enemy hasn't spotted us.]

However, she didn't dare to run away with Arya, thinking that it would be bad if the other side came out on patrol again and caught them red-handed.

If they were discovered, they could potentially kill the imprisoned orcs.

[Sword Hero: Have you seen any other goblins, like the Goblin Centurion?]

Milu was taken aback, then quickly replied.

[Hero of the Thorns: No.]

Yes, no, there really isn't.

Along the way, we only saw one goblin centurion, who happened to be guarding the entrance to the cave. Even the five patrolling goblin chiliarchs were nowhere to be seen.

Milu was also puzzled as to why.

[Sword Hero: Alright, the goblins are probably convinced these orcs won't dare run away.]

Knowing that they wouldn't dare to run away easily, they only allowed the goblin centurion to guard the area.

Moreover, even if humans arrived here, they would likely attack these imprisoned orcs first.

After all, in the goblins' view, the orcs nowadays have a deep-seated hatred for humans.

Orcs killed so many people, and humans killed so many orcs, and they couldn't even understand each other's languages.

If orcs and humans were to meet, the first thing they would do would definitely be fight, right?

How could they have imagined that two races that should have been bitter enemies would help each other?

Sword Hero: Stick to the original plan, no retreat...

Save people.

Hero of the Thorns: ?

what?

Behind this mountain lies the heart of the Goblin Empire, teeming with goblins of level five or higher!

Are you sure you want to save them?!

This is too risky!

[Sword Hero: Our original plan was to kill the goblins guarding the cave as quickly as possible and then rescue the orcs from the cave.]

It has now been confirmed that there are no goblins of level four or higher, and no other goblins are patrolling the building.

So, let's save them.

This is actually a golden opportunity.

It seems the goblins are all behind the mountain, very porcupine-like, folded, purchasing agent: 7-like, easy, ]坽>, ∴＄ dangerous.

However, the fact that there were no goblins patrolling, and only the goblin centurion guarding the cave, can only mean one thing...

The Goblin Empire never imagined that someone from the outside would attempt to break them out of prison.

They merely symbolically sent centurions to guard the gate, simply to stand there and prevent the orcs from escaping or rebelling.
