The plan went smoothly.

The goblin army that attacked the village was repelled. After that, the students who followed the remnants also found the goblin's hiding place by following their retreat trajectory.

"Again the cave?"

Upon hearing this, a student suddenly screamed in surprise.

"Give me some mercy! I've had enough of the cave!"

"Goblins and caves... I don't want to go there when these two things are put together."

The reactions of others were not much different. They were really fed up with this thing.

"But we must destroy them!"

Tian Zhihe Guanghui slapped the table again and stood up.

"Everyone, if we try one more time, we can completely eliminate these goblins and protect this village!"

"Um……"

After hearing what Tian Zhihe Guanghui said, the others nodded their heads despite their strange expressions. Although they knew in their hearts that this village did not exist in reality, they had to admit that this village left a very good impression on them. The villagers were very simple and honest, and they were very respectful to adventurers like them. Children would admire them, and girls would even secretly express their love for them. This was simply the best place for those students who had never been recognized.

After all, isn't this what they want to be heroes for? To be respected, loved, admired, and to have a sense of accomplishment by working hard to protect everyone.

"Now that we know the location, we should move out immediately and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Eh? Wait, we need to be prepared, right? This is the Goblin Cave. If you're not prepared, you'll die miserably."

"But their main force has been defeated by us, and the remaining ones are just some remnants. We should seize the opportunity to pursue them now, otherwise it will only cause more trouble if we wait for those goblins to recover."

The students also started arguing, some thought they should press on to win, others thought they should make full preparations, their opinions were mixed, everyone wanted to convince the other. And at this time, Kaori also put forward her own opinion.

"I think we should leave some people behind to defend the village."

"Why?"

Everyone was a little surprised by Kaori's proposal.

"Is this necessary?"

"We're not that many people, right? It would be even more troublesome if we were to separate."

Although a whole class of people traveled through time, in the end, only about 20 students including the teacher were transported to this world. If you remove those who don't have the vocation to fight, there are only a dozen people left. Of course, it's not impossible to split into small teams, but once you have to explore the goblin's nest, you will immediately feel that you don't have enough manpower.

For example... we need forwards, we need defenders, and we also need melee professionals to assist the defenders.

In order to avoid accidents, a healing profession is also needed, and it would be terrible if the opponent sneak attacks the healing profession like before, so both healing professions must be brought along.

Exploration is also very important. You must not let the goblins discover you, and you must also discover the goblin's traps and ambushes in advance. Scouts are also essential.

In order to guard against poisonous arrows and hidden weapons, a barrier master who can cast a barrier must also be here...

To put it simply, after making a round of calculations based on this kind of inference, it is impossible to find anyone who can stay here separately. Many people even feel that they are not enough to break into the goblin's nest by themselves.

After all, the previous cave really left them with a psychological trauma.

Of course, there is another point. Ever since they repelled the goblin attack, the villagers have been admiring them, saying that with such a powerful adventurer, they will definitely be able to completely destroy the goblins. If I stay at this time, wouldn't it be embarrassing? If everyone else goes to destroy the goblins, but I stay in the village, what if I am seen as a coward?

It's not easy to be seen as a hero, who wouldn't want to leave a good impression!

In the end, only two girls chose to stay and protect the villagers. They said they could not stand the goblins' evil taste. They found it difficult to move forward when they thought about entering the nest and encountering women who were violated and killed by goblins. So they took the initiative to stay and protect the safety of the village. As for the others, they set out directly and headed to the nest where the goblins were discovered under the leadership of the scouts.

Perhaps because of the great defeat, the goblins in the nest looked very tired. Compared to the goblins in the cave who were well-rested, this time the battle was over very quickly.

but……

“How strange…”

Looking at the goblin corpses scattered all over the ground, Kaori frowned and muttered to herself. The goblin's nest was still full of stench as always, but Kaori was used to it now - although as a girl, this habit was not very good.

"What's wrong? Kaori, is there a problem?"

The ponytail girl asked in a low voice while keeping an eye on her surroundings.

"No prisoners found."

In the past, I could always see abducted girls or their bodies in the goblin’s lair, but this time, there was nothing here except goblins.

"Maybe they were all used to make shields... Damn, these goblins are really disgusting!"

Recalling the scene of the human shield, the ponytail girl couldn't help but spit.

"But we asked the village chief, and the number of these people doesn't match the number of missing villagers, and some of them are adventurers from other places..."

Kaori tightly gripped the staff, having a bad feeling. This time the goblin subjugation went too smoothly, so smoothly that it made her feel like the atmosphere just before the villain in a movie turned the plot around. This made her feel quite uneasy.

"There's nothing to worry about. It's just that we caught the timing right."

Amanokawa Kouki also reached out and patted Kaori.

"Those goblins had just suffered a great defeat at night, so we killed them so easily. Besides, when we came in, weren't they all lying on the ground and sleeping soundly because they were exhausted?"

"yes……"

Hearing this, Kaori sighed helplessly. She could have taken advantage of the goblins' sleep to have her magic-using companions completely destroy them. But Kouki rushed forward with the holy sword in hand, shouting "Damn goblins, give me your life", which resulted in a melee between the awakened goblins and everyone else. Thinking about it now, Kaori feels tired.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong here."

At this time, the others had finished their inspection of the battlefield, so they turned around and planned to return to the village to have a good rest.

But... isn't the mission over yet?

Just as the group walked to the entrance of the cave, suddenly, a young girl ran over panting.

"What's wrong? Nana?"

Seeing the sweaty girl in front of her, Kaori was shocked. The girl in front of her was called Nana Miyazaki, and she was one of the companions who stayed in the village. But now she appeared here, could it be...

"The village has been attacked by goblins! There are more goblins than last night. Taeko can't handle it alone...!"

"What?"

"How is that possible?!"

After hearing Nana's report, the others were shocked.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, anyway, let's go back and save the village first!!"

As they talked, they also sped up and headed towards the village. On the way, they also listened to Nana's explanation. It turned out that not long after they left the village, a large group of goblin cavalry suddenly appeared from another direction and attacked the village. The two girls who stayed in the village to guard were also terrified. Then Taeko asked Nana to find others to report the situation immediately, and she went alone to resist those goblins.

"Damn it, how could this happen? These goblins are clearly on this side. Why are they on the other side?"

“Maybe what appeared before was just the vanguard, and now it’s the main force?”

"How can a mere goblin use such a cunning trick?"

"Have we not been killed enough times by goblins?"

“…”

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Although they all thought that goblins were small and weak, they had to admit that these goblins were the most cunning and insidious in the world. Most of the time when they were wiped out, they were killed by the goblins' cunning and insidiousness.

The rest were killed by their own people.

To be precise, it is the person who is rushing forward now, unconsciously changing from a man to a woman.

Unfortunately, when the group rushed back to the village, it was too late.

The entire village had been completely destroyed, and the women were captured by the goblins. Most of the men were killed, and only a few were left here to be toyed with by the goblins. The gods who saw this scene were also filled with righteous indignation and rushed up, killing those arrogant goblins and saving the remaining villagers.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"Damn it... I didn't expect that Taeko was also captured by them..."

According to the survivors in the village, Taeko had been trying to protect them, but unfortunately she was alone and was eventually hit on the head by the goblin, then fell unconscious and was captured. In addition to Taeko, all the women in the village were also captured. Hearing this, Tian Zhihe Guanghui was even more angry.

"Damn it, we have to go rescue them immediately!"

"Wait, Glory!"

Seeing that Amanokawa Kouki was about to take action again, Kaori grabbed her.

"Let's give the others a break."

"Where is the time to rest now?"

Amanokawa Kouki shook off Kaori's hand.

"Tiako has been captured. Can we still rest here?"

“But everyone can’t move anymore.”

Kaori held the staff with both hands to support her body. There were no horses in this world, so they went to the goblin cave on foot. The battle with the goblins took a lot of effort, and then they rushed back to fight the goblins in the village after receiving the report... To be honest, it was a miracle that most people could stand now.

In fact, many people were already leaning against the wall, gasping for breath and unable to move at all.

"But, damn..."

Looking at the people lying exhausted on the ground around him, Tian Zhihe Guanghui gritted his teeth.

"Then I'll go alone! I have a limit breakthrough, and I can definitely rescue them!"

"Wait, Glory...?!"

Kaori was shocked to hear this, but before she could say anything else, Amanokawa Kouki turned around and rushed out of the village.

“…”

Looking at Tianzhihe's radiant back, Kaori sighed helplessly and lowered her arms.

"What should we do, Kaori?"

"Now... let's help the people in this village first."
