Four-meter Luco: "..."
Keep asking!
I was clearly practicing something very powerful!
“It seems you understand what you need to do,” Annie suddenly said.
"Ah... um." Milu nodded.
It's not about training your ability to multitask, but rather about training your perception.
When you sit here quietly, pay attention to everything that moves in your field of vision, listen to the noise from the outside world, and then glean information from it.
For example, which hero in sight is heading to which place, what they are doing, and what they are discussing together.
She was thinking that the Goblin King's servant was not a necromancer, and that the opponent, being so large, would not conceal its form.
At that moment, she wasn't looking at the sky, but was staring intently at the location of Lycorina and the others.
in case……
How was she able to broaden her perspective and simultaneously focus on the directions of Lycorina, the other three, and the sky?
She doesn't need to have eyes on the top of her head; she only needs to pay attention out of the corner of her eye.
In fact, a person's field of vision is not limited to just a small area in front of them. If she had looked straight ahead, she would have been able to include the Goblin King's servant in her field of vision as well.
“Dying now won’t solve anything…” Miluko unexpectedly spoke up.
She probably wanted to say it in a cool and confident way, but when she opened her mouth, she habitually stuttered and could only stammer out the words.
"So...while we're still alive, let's do what we can, hmm..."
After saying that, she covered her face and buried it in her hair.
Why do such cool words sound so awful coming from my mouth?! (Nine)
"Is that so?" An Yi replied casually.
Although he didn't know why Miluko's thoughts had changed so drastically, he was glad she understood the principle. (8)
Milu is never lacking in talent; she simply lacks experience. Part Two
If An Yi were to say something encouraging to her, he would say—
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of making mistakes. (Part 3)
All heroes go to battle prepared to die. (Part 3)
On the battlefield, it's not surprising who dies at any time.
While alive, they were heroes who hunted demons; even if they died heroically, they would still influence other heroes, inspiring them to make breakthroughs.
The path to vanquishing the demons is a tragic one, and the deaths of countless heroic predecessors will help other heroes grow stronger.
Although they should not have died, their deaths were by no means meaningless!
As survivors, we must pass on the flame of life that they burned!
However, An Yi wasn't good at expressing herself and felt that saying it would be disrespectful to the deceased, so she ultimately didn't say anything.
Before leaving, he placed his backpack next to Miluko.
"There's nothing I can do to help you. Take these and eat them," An Yi said, then left the city wall.
Milu watched An Yi's departing figure, then picked up the backpack that An Yi had placed beside her.
Inside were meatballs wrapped in oil paper.
"...We can't finish it!"
……
"Anyi! You're finally back!"
Lycorina was already waiting at the entrance of the temporary accommodation, and happily went to greet Any.
“Yes, we’ve discovered a race we’ve never seen before in the forest. Perhaps that will help us in our goblin hunt,” An’i said.
Lycorina: "A race I've never seen before? What do they look like?"
An Yi: "It looks similar to a human, but it has animal ears on its head and a tail."
Lycorina: "Hmm... I think I understand."
It wasn't that she couldn't imagine it, but she felt that what she was thinking and what An Yi was saying were probably the same thing.
"You said it would help in the fight against goblins... what do you mean? Their enemies are goblins too?" Lycorina asked.
"Yes, after we entered the goblin territory, we kept going deeper and deeper..."
Then, Annie explained to Lycorina everything she had seen in the goblin territory, including human cities, goblin settlements, and...
The ruins of a tribe of animal-eared creatures.
"Their village was destroyed, leaving behind the remains of many beast-eared creatures and goblins."
Therefore, I conclude that they are hostile to goblins.
Moreover, we also encountered a creature with animal ears.
"She suddenly attacked us, I caught her, and then I observed her all night."
Based on the observations, they do not use a human or demon language, and their strength and agility are at least above 30.
This means they can easily defeat unenhanced goblin centurions.
"Through observation, I discovered that their stamina is very poor, which is probably why they couldn't withstand the goblin's overwhelming numbers," Annie explained to Lycorina.
Lycorina: "Shouldn't it be a goblin swarm tactic?"
An Yi: "They're about the same."
After saying that, Lycorina stroked her chin and fell into thought.
Perhaps this battle has helped her mature a lot; she wasn't as lively as usual today, and her boisterous energy was gone.
Moreover, she looks so beautiful when she's thinking seriously.
At that moment, Annie noticed Lycorina's outfit.
Today she is wearing the same white robe as the other support-type heroes.
“Today, I’m not wearing my usual saintly robes,” Annie said.
Upon hearing the words "Saintess's Robe," Ricolina's eyes narrowed, and the image of that blood-stained Saintess's Robe flashed through her mind, causing her shoulders to tremble uncontrollably.
"Ah... well, I'm not planning on wearing it anymore," Lycorina said with a light laugh, but the laugh was stiff.
An Yi didn't ask any further questions: "Okay."
Lycorina: "You started a conversation, but you didn't even ask me why?!"
Annie: "Because I don't think it'll be a good reason."
Lycorina was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "Yes, you're right."
In fact, she had already come up with an excuse, saying that she didn't want a special identity and wanted to be equal to the other heroes, wearing the same clothes.
But in reality, it was because seeing the saint's robe reminded her of the scene where Eddie was killed right before her eyes.
She could never forget that feeling of helplessness, sadness, and anger.
But she didn't want to be reminded all the time.
She's a saint, she needs to pull herself together.
She must be stronger than anyone else to lead all the heroes in defeating the demons.
Just then, Lycorina felt something slide across her cheek.
An Yi: "You cried."
Lycorina quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve: "Ah... I didn't mean to cry! I don't know why..."
By the way, let's continue with the story about that beast-eared creature!
When you came back just now, did you tell the reconnaissance heroes to retreat in the chat group?
“Yes.” Annie nodded. “Miss Shiloh and I discovered that they were following us on the way.”
So, we will turn the tables and let the other side get closer to the edge of the forest.
That way, the enemy should be able to see us dealing with the goblin's corpse.
"Oh! So, the other side should know that we have a common enemy!"
"Will they contact us first?" Lycorina asked excitedly.
Because she also knew that conquering the goblin territory was actually a difficult problem.
There are too few heroes.
Rather, this is a problem that has existed from the very beginning.
With these 10,000 heroes, how can humanity possibly conquer 90% of the world's demonic territory?
It would be difficult enough to conquer just one city, right?
Moreover, if the demons were to return, only the heroes could defend the area; ordinary human soldiers would not be considered a significant fighting force.
For now, this issue can only be put on hold; we should focus on defeating the demons and leveling up first.
However, the appearance of other races suddenly rekindled Lycorina's hope.
Within the territory of the demons...
Perhaps there are even more races that are hostile to the demons!
As for when Irene appeared, she hadn't thought about this question.
Even a powerful being like Ireve couldn't find her own kind, so there probably aren't many elves left in the demon realm.
If they find it, can one elf still guard an entire city?
Conquering cities is crucial, as their ultimate goal is to kill the Demon King.
If we don't push forward, do we expect the demons to keep attacking the younger ones and then the older ones, until the seventy-two royal servants and various king-level demons, and even the demon king himself, appear at the border?
