The remaining fighting force was concentrated in the city behind the mountain.
As for why, An Yi wasn't quite sure, but was there a more suitable time than now?
If you miss it, you don't know if the goblins will strengthen their defenses next time you come.
Milu closed her eyes and took a slow, deep breath.
[Hero of the Thorns: I'll listen to you.]
She gave up thinking; from now on, all she had to do was carry out the mission.
Because she also knew that this might be the only chance she would ever have in her life.
Their actions were originally a do-or-die gamble, and no one knew what changes would occur in the Goblin Empire after Elsa's rampage.
More stringent security? Larger defensive perimeter?
Or perhaps it will alert the enemy and cause them to slaughter all the orcs?
Or perhaps nothing happened at all, since there have been quite a few humans who killed centurions in the forest.
Now that we have a grasp of the enemy's situation, why not seize the opportunity to rescue the orcs?
There are no goblins patrolling outside right now!
The only one guarding the cave is the Goblin Centurion, right?
To save or not to save, isn't the answer simple?
save!
Listen to An Yi, save them!
Arya felt a profound silence in her ears again, and the [Quiet Period ∈6●溜∩衫四△〔迩刺〈ˉ猬℃'4摺代々＃購：之地] was activated.
"The goblin centurion just now didn't notice us, nor did he warn the other goblins."
We have two pieces of good news. One is that the guards of the orcs are a goblin centurion.
"There's also good news: there are no goblins patrolling around," Milu said in a deep voice.
"Why aren't there any goblins patrolling?" Arya blurted out almost immediately.
Miluko frowned slightly, wondering if it was a trap, but quickly shook her head: "I don't know, but there isn't one."
Is it a trap?
No, it can't be a trap.
From the goblin's perspective, it's impossible for humans to save orcs, even if they come here, they're unlikely to save them.
The entire forest has been taken over by goblins, and there are no other orcs left.
They set up traps, but who are they trying to protect themselves from?
Where is the enemy? Who are we wary of? Who are the traps set for?
Setting a trap to defend against a non-existent imaginary enemy, right?
No matter how intelligent they are, they cannot make predictions beyond their understanding.
Unless someone leaked information about humans to the goblins.
Otherwise, the "trap" would be set up in a rather absurd and unfounded way.
“Act according to the original plan; this is an opportunity,” Miluko said.
Arya nodded, then looked in the direction where she had discovered the cave, and then looked up at the mountaintop: "Could there be other members of our kind on the other side of the mountain?"
Milu was stunned for a moment, but quickly said firmly, "Save as many as you can."
If there are orcs imprisoned behind Mount Ba, then there's nothing that can be done.
They could only secretly rescue the orcs from the other side of the mountain.
Qi might be able to assemble a large orc army to rescue people behind the mountain after rescuing all the orcs.
But that would be too risky, and could even kill a large number of the orcs that were just rescued.
Whether Liu relies on these orcs to rescue people or waits until humans attack and then rescues them along the way, it's impossible for him to rescue them now.
Before the humans launch a full-scale attack, San can only save a portion of them.
Even after they've attacked, if the goblins discover that humans are helping orcs escape, they will quickly deal with the remaining orcs behind the mountain.
Unless humans attack and then kill the orcs in front of the goblins first.
But that would be putting the cart before the horse.
Now all we can do is gamble.
I'm betting there are no orcs behind this mountain!
"Let's begin." Milu said, then deactivated her skill.
……
Back in the cave, the goblin centurion stood at the entrance, able to quickly grasp the movements both inside and outside.
It's late at night now, and the orcs are all asleep.
In the past, orcs would actually be active for a while at night, because some of their prey would sleep at night.
They are locked up every day now, and even if they don't sleep at night, they can't do anything.
So this is actually the time when the goblins are most relaxed and least vigilant.
Because they knew the orcs were asleep, they didn't need to keep watching them.
The goblin centurions stood blankly at the doorway, not sitting down, as standing would make it easier for them to deal with any unexpected situations.
"?"
Suddenly, the goblin centurion felt everything go black, as if all his senses had vanished.
From the outside, its entire body was covered in a layer of black mist.
[Skill: Veil]
This was a sensory shielding magic that covered several blocks in the Sword Demon City at the time.
However, the black mist only lasted for a moment before the goblin centurion went limp and was about to collapse.
But something behind it supported it, preventing it from falling over and gently laying it down.
As the black mist dissipated, the goblin centurion, who had collapsed to the ground, had traces of blood in his ear, as if something had pierced it.
Although Miluko's strength is not high, it is still something that a Goblin Centurion with only 10 points of resilience can defend against.
Even the hardest skull would have difficulty withstanding Miluko's attacks, let alone the fragile ear canal.
The goblin centurion was killed instantly when the bayonet was plunged into his brain.
Two dark figures quickly darted into the cave.
The cave is quite deep, which is even better, as it's impossible for anyone outside to see what's happening inside.
Soon, the two found the wooden prison door that the orcs had mentioned.
Seven thick wooden planks were wedged in the cave, with only enough space between them for one hand to fit through, making it impossible to move in and out freely. To get out, one of the planks had to be moved aside.
However, in reality, a wooden cell of this size could be smashed by an orc with a single wave of his hand.
But because they dared not resist, they dared not even destroy a few logs lined up together.
Scatter "Du!"
4M Luco cleaved off a small section of the bottom of one of the logs with a single sword stroke, then kicked it away.
Arya rushed over and grabbed the top of the log. To avoid making a sound, she gently pulled the log out from above the cave and placed it against the side of the cave.
The two then continued on their way.
Arya could already smell the scent of her own kind, and... it was very strong.
According to the beastmen, they cannot take a bath here, and they can only relieve themselves by digging a hole in the ground deep inside the cave.
Digging too shallowly would take up a lot of space, so they would dig a deep pit and then cover it with dried animal hides when not in use.
However, with so many people and so much waste in a family, it's impossible to completely cover up the smell...
As soon as Milu entered the room, she immediately put on a pain mask, held her breath, and her face scrunched up like a bitter gourd.
Arya gagged loudly, then pinched her nose.
Fortunately, the design of the Warrior's Suit includes a pull-up visor, taking into account the need to block harmful gases from the very beginning of the design process.
While it can't completely block out the smell, it can at least alleviate the stench inside the cave.
The orcs inside the cave were still asleep, unaware of what was happening outside.
Although their sense of smell and hearing are very sensitive, they are of little use in this environment.
It's normal to hear noises outside. Large goblins make noises when they move around, and even someone with excellent hearing wouldn't be woken up by such a small thing.
Until, Miluko said to Aria;
"Go inside and find the other orcs, I'll keep an eye on things outside for you."
The smell was so strong at the entrance, I can't even imagine what it smelled like inside!
It's best to keep watch!
Make sure the entrance is well-ventilated!
“Okay,” Arya replied softly.
The sounds the two made almost instantly woke up the orcs in the cave, but they lay silently on the bed with their eyes closed, curious yet wary.
Has anyone arrived?
The other party was using a language that orcs couldn't understand.
They weren't the only ones who were nervous; Arya was just as nervous.
Upon entering the cave, she discovered that it wasn't just a cave, but also contained other chambers, like separate rooms.
"Is anyone there?" (Orcish) Arya asked in a low voice.
