"The Saintess Squad killed another Goblin King's Servant?"
The muscular man with long hair tied back and a stubble beard looked at the weekly newspaper in front of him, a fighting spirit rising in his heart.
"So, the Saintess Squad has already killed two Goblin Kings. It seems we'll have a hard time catching up with them," another young hero said with a wry smile.
"Isn't that because the goblin king is hiding and won't come out?!" Leif said angrily. "If they dared to come out, we would have killed them long ago!"
Wait... it seems there's more than just good news.
The warrior charged at the Goblin King's servant with all his might, severely wounding him without injuring anyone else, but also suffering heavy injuries himself.
Finally, the Goblin King was killed by the Archer Warrior.
The hero who slew the enemy is currently recovering.
"It's just a serious injury, he's not dead yet, so it's not bad news, is it?" a female warrior said.
"No, no, no, it's already bad news that the hero who kills is injured, isn't it?"
"The hero who has killed many enemies wants to protect everyone, but he has to severely injure them. If we face the Goblin King's servant, people will definitely die, right?" another young hero said.
“Yeah, it doesn’t look like we’ll get out of here unscathed.” Leif casually placed the weekly report on the table, leaned back in his chair, and put his hands behind his head.
He thought it would be safer to go and hunt down other level six demons to level up before dealing with the level seven goblin king servant.
[Dragonlance] has come this far not because of a burst of energy, but because of the steady and methodical improvement and conquests made in accordance with the advice of the Hero Alliance.
In the previous battle of Shiwei Town, the Hero of Agility brought the Hero of Slaughter to the battlefield, and together with the Hero of Wind, they directly turned the tide of the entire battle.
If the first among heroes is the Sword Hero, and the second is the Blade Hero, then the Slaughter Hero must rank third.
Even with the experience gained from that battle and a significant level increase, this same hero, along with his entire level 50 archer party, still suffered heavy losses...
It seems they won't be able to deal with the Goblin King's servants so easily.
I was originally planning to give it a try.
"The Sword Hero should be able to take on the Goblin King's Servant one-on-one by now, right? I heard that the battle between him and the level seven demons guarding Silvermoon Fortress is quite fierce."
"Yes, the city gate facing the human territory has been destroyed. The demons can no longer defend the city so easily. Heroes can come and go as they please."
"Actually, I'm thinking, if the demons really care about this, why don't they send higher-ranking demons to guard it?"
"That's how demons are, pure arrogance, looking down on people." Leif shrugged.
As they chatted, he caught a glimpse of the folder containing the weekly report out of the corner of his eye.
There seems to be another piece of paper there.
Puzzled, he picked up the folder and opened it, only to find a small envelope tucked underneath.
Upon opening it, I discovered that it was actually a letter written by Her Highness the Holy Maiden herself, inviting the Dragonlance Heroes to launch a campaign against the Goblin Empire!
Just then, several lines of text appeared simultaneously in front of all members of [Dragonlance].
[The Holy Warrior] is inviting you to join a large-scale dungeon:
[Goblin Empire]
Please confirm whether you accept the invitation.

Chapter 39: Fighting Humans to the Death! (4k)
"It's almost time."
Anyi said this when he learned that Elsa had killed a goblin king servant.
The number of Goblin Kings is fixed at eight, but three have died, leaving five.
"Including the Goblin King Servant that the Slayer killed, we have now taken care of three Goblin King Servant."
"Now, it's time to venture deeper into the Goblin Empire," An'i said.
"What if there are even stronger enemies within the Goblin Empire?" Lycorina asked warily.
Annie: "Then I'll kill it."
Lycorina: "I knew it!"
I object! We can't act so hastily!
"Conversely, do you really think there are stronger enemies within the Goblin Empire?" Annie asked.
"This..." Lycorina pondered for a moment, "It seems the strongest one I've encountered is only the Goblin King Servant...?"
"Hmm, I don't think there are still a large number of level eight demons in the Goblin Empire."
If there were a number seven, then number four should have sent number six out of number one to test the waters of number nine long ago.
"But so far, the highest level I've dealt with is only a level seven goblin."
Or perhaps they are still hiding their strength, leaving the stronger goblins in their heartland.
"Or they can only send out Goblin Kings, since there are no stronger goblins available," An'i explained.
“What if it’s the first possibility?” Lycorina asked.
“We’ll find out whether it’s the former or the latter once we attack,” An Yi said. “Let’s advance into the forest first.”
The absence of stronger goblins is just as good, as it allows more heroes to level up.
If they have special skills, they could put up a fight.
“Well… okay.” Lycorina nodded thoughtfully.
Yes, a major reason why An Yi proposed attacking the Goblin Empire was that the cooldown of his special ability had ended.
Now, both the four of them and Elsa have the ability to contend with the Goblin King's servants.
Even if the opponent sends out two Goblin Kings at once, they can still fight them.
Oh no, even four heads.
Because Miluko's special ability is also a damage skill that can instantly kill.
Using your and Miluko's special skills, you can quickly take down two of them, and then defeat the remaining two normally.
Moreover, the other heroes also possess special abilities.
When the time comes, gather high-level heroes together to fight the Goblin King. The Saintess Squad can hold off the Goblin King's servants, allowing the other heroes to use special skills to quickly kill them.
If we calculate it this way, five goblins, six kings, and six servants wouldn't even be enough to kill four.
After defeating the Goblin King's Servant some time ago, the Saintess Squad has reached level 72.
After killing these five goblin servants, they would have the means to directly attack the goblin king.
An Yi had already planned it all out; he would be the one to kill the Goblin King.
The other heroes used their special skills to defeat the Goblin King's servants, leaving their own "sword strike" to the Goblin King.
It wasn't that they wanted to show off, but like the Goblin King in the last battle, they had a reason to kill him quickly.
The opponent is an eighth-level demon, whose attributes are even higher than those of a seventh-level goblin king servant. We cannot allow the opponent to cause more meaningless casualties.
It doesn't really matter who kills, but...
An Yi was unaware of the other people's special abilities.
They can cover for killing the Goblin King's servants, but no one can cover for killing the Goblin King.
Therefore, he could only rely on himself, using his special abilities to ensure he could kill the enemy as quickly as possible.
However, if he had to make the decision, he wouldn't choose to deal with the multi-headed goblin king's servants at the same time.
If you have to deal with too many demons at the same time, it's easy for the situation to become uncontrollable.
Those present will all be warriors with nearly six months of combat experience; we must do everything we can to prevent their sacrifice.
During her time back in Swee Town to rest, Lycorina, after obtaining information about the surrounding heroes from the believers, began writing letters.
The scope of the call for heroes has been expanded this time.
Because of the emergency last time, only heroes who could arrive within a certain time frame could be summoned.
This time, we have more time. Even if it takes two or three days to get here, it doesn't matter. We even have some time to get used to each other and train after we arrive.
The key group to be recruited is a large group of heroes, especially those whose leadership teams have the ability to defeat level six demons.
There are three large groups of adventurers in the surrounding area who can arrive within a week, but there are almost no small or medium-sized teams.
Because the number of heroes was not large to begin with, the existence of large groups absorbed all these small and medium-sized teams.
Having more people has its advantages. The risk of defeating a large number of demons is much lower, especially when defeating higher-level demons. Two small teams fighting versus one small team fighting are completely different things.
In small groups with few members and low levels, the risk of challenging higher-level demons is too great, and the lack of backup makes them hesitant and timid.
Ultimately, it's about fighting the boss in the upper levels while clearing mobs and gaining experience in the middle and lower levels. With the upper levels tanking for you, it's not easy to die.
The upper level can share the meat, and the middle and lower levels can also share the soup; this is the advantage of a large corporation.
The three major groups are: the [Dragon Spear], led by the [Spear Hero].
The hero group led by the Flower Warrior: Flower Sea.
The warrior group led by the Warrior of Fang: Fang Wolf.
The highest-level squads of the three organizations are all over level 50 and have experience in defeating more than two level 6 demons.
There are naturally other organizations in other regions that are no less powerful than theirs, but the hero's time is also very precious. If they can't get there within a week, the round trip alone will take more than half a month.
Rather than using the time to travel, it would be better to continue fighting the demons in the local area.
The reason the leaders of the three organizations were willing to come this time is because the campaign against the Goblin Empire in the area where the Saintess Squad is located is nearing its end.
Their only achievement is killing the Goblin Champion, but the Saintess Squad is already preparing to lead the heroes deep into the Goblin Empire.
In other words, the time is now to launch large-scale raids on Goblin Champions and even challenge the Goblin King's servants.
They can use this opportunity to quickly raise their level, then return to their assigned area and deliver a devastating blow to the local goblins!
Inside the reception room, all three delegation leaders were dressed in formal attire.
[Dragonlance] Captain Leif shaved off his stubble and put on a black suit that he had rarely worn in his life.
He was originally a Witcher and rarely appeared in formal occasions. If he was meeting with other Witchers, he would just wear casual clothes.
