A few days later, the three groups gathered on a lone hilltop outside the border outpost. Goblin Slayer's group consisted only of Goblin Slayer and the Priestess.

Bai Ze's group had the largest number of people. Apart from Tamayo, who was doing research, and Wang Yuyan, who didn't want to see bloodshed, all the other women appeared around Bai Ze.

Xiaomeng (female mechanic), Raphael (priest healer), Tifa (female fighter), Daenerys (the dragon queen from Game of Thrones who learned martial arts from Wuyazi and Li Qiushui in Tianlong World).

Mu Wanqing, Li Qinglu (the two are the same as Daenerys above), Mengmeng (female mage - magic scholar), Aying (Blade Shadow), and Kocho Shinobu (an enhanced version of the Tianlong martial arts, and Bai Ze also gave the Flowing Star Meteor to Kocho Shinobu).

Misha (Night Messenger - Shadow Dancer)

With Bai Ze's 11-person team appearing before Goblin Slayer and the junior priest, the junior priest, looking surprised, ran to Raphael's side and asked:

"Sister Raphael, your adventurer team has so many people! Are they all capable of fighting? That's amazing!"

Raphael smiled and glanced at Bai Ze, then said:

There will be more in the future!

As they were talking, the greatswordsman Guts arrived with his party of adventurers;

Greatswordsman Guts, witch, female knight, spearman, half-forest light swordsman, young scout, young sorceress.

There were two newcomers at the back of the team, but Bai Ze had seen them before. One of them was a trainee novice warrior who took on a mission to eliminate sewer rats in the original series, lost his sword, and later found his sword again after being instructed by Goblin Slayer to use a blunt wooden stick.

Another newcomer is the Apprentice Saintess who accompanies the Apprentice Warrior on his adventures. She is a very capable little girl who is quite skilled at using her abilities when fighting monsters. She is a bit more reliable than the Apprentice Warrior. Both of them are newcomers at the Porcelain level.

Guts walked up to Bai Ze and Goblin Slayer and said:

“There are two new acquaintances I want to show them around. I’ll have them work with the half-forest swordsman and the young sorceress to stay behind and protect the little priestess and Miss Raphael.”

Bai Ze nodded in agreement. In fact, as long as Raphael was there, it would be more difficult for the monsters to get close to the people in the back than to get close to the front-line warriors like himself.

Behind Guts's group were several wagons carrying supplies. Looking at the relaxed Bai Ze and the diverse group of female adventurers surrounding him, Guts asked:

"Brother Bai Ze, where are your team's supplies and logistics? Didn't they come with us?"

Bai Ze gave Guss a mysterious smile, then conjured up a bottle of black tequila and tossed it to Guss. He then turned and led the women toward the monster camp.

Raphael kindly put the little priest's large backpack into his own spatial backpack. Guts watched Bai Ze and Raphael's actions, his eyes wide, and caught up with Bai Ze to ask:

"Where did Lord Bai Ze obtain his spatial equipment? Are there any extras available for transfer? Smaller ones are fine too, are there any more?"

The witch, looking quite interested, walked up to Raphael and asked:

“Miss Raphael, is the spatial equipment you’re wearing standard equipment for the team? You all seem to take it for granted.”

Raphael didn't make it clear that neither the sisters from the Tianlong World nor the Demon Slayer World had spatial backpacks;

Raphael shook his head at the witch and said:

"No, only a few of the sisters have spatial backpacks, which we obtained."

At this moment, Mengmeng ran to Raphael's side and pulled the little priest away. The two chatted excitedly, and Mengmeng even gave the little priest some of her newly made magical juice.

The two little girls, having a great time, rode on cute broomsticks, flying around above everyone's heads, their giggling voices echoing all around.

The trainee soldier watched with envy as the two little girls flew around in the sky. The little priestess's exclamations and cute laughter made the trainee soldier drool.

Bai Ze, the greatsword master Guts, and the goblin slayer, who were at the forefront, were arranging the combat mission. First, they arranged a reconnaissance scout team. Bai Ze's team consisted of Xiao Meng and Misha.

Xiaomeng's robot, Yareja, can have a clear view of ground units from high above, while Misha can infiltrate and discover mid- to high-level monster units in the camp, and can also assassinate some lone monsters.

The greatswordsman Guts sent out a young scout from his team. The young scout was short and fast, making him difficult for monsters to spot, and he could play a certain role in reconnaissance.

Goblin Slayer didn't say anything. He was both a scout and a combatant. Before the Priestess teamed up with him, he was also the logistics and support healer.

When they arrive at the camp, Goblin Slayer will discover the sentry posts that the goblins habitually set up, and then he will naturally be able to play his role.

 …

After a long journey of four days, the group finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where the monster camp was located. Bai Ze told Xiao Meng to release Ya Lei Jia and go to scout out the location of the troll camp.

The group continued forward and found a bend in the river to set up camp with their backs to the river. The camp faced the direction of the monster camp.

The newcomers in the team began to unload supplies, set up tents, and prepare the rest area at the rear of the team.

Before sunset, the camp was set up, and Bai Ze, Guts, and Goblin Slayer held a short meeting.

The adventurer camp that everyone has built is located to the side of the monster camp, so even if the monsters go out to hunt, attack towns, or capture humans, they will not pass by our camp.

But we still need to be careful of monsters on patrol and those with a keen sense of smell. Goblin Slayer volunteered, raising his hand to say:

"We can find some monster droppings and scatter them on the side of our camp facing the monster camp and upwind. As long as the monsters don't patrol up to our camp and see it, we'll be safe here."

When anyone in our camp needs to relieve themselves, we must gather together and dig a deep pit downwind to bury all the excrement and urine, so that the monsters can't smell it.

Bai Ze and Guts nodded. These were things that adventurers often knew when camping in the wild, and Goblin Slayer, who often hunted in the wild, knew them best.

After settling the camp affairs, the three returned to their tents to rest, waiting for Xiaomeng to gather information before continuing their mission.

When they started setting up camp, Misha told Bai Ze and then went out, presumably to explore the surrounding area.

That night, in order to receive messages as soon as possible, Bai Ze and Xiao Meng stayed in one tent. The two reminisced about the days when they lived by the Wall during Game of Thrones. As they talked, they got carried away and ended up talking all night.

The next morning, Xiao Meng, who had received a message from Yalejia, woke up Bai Ze. Yalejia had successfully captured the light source after the monster camp lit torches and began to move around the night before. After confirming the location and basic sentry posts, Yalejia sent the message back.

Bai Ze led the women to convene an immediate meeting of everyone in the camp. Xiao Meng, relying on the map sent back by Ya Leijia, drew a detailed structure of the monster camp and a map showing the distribution of monster dwellings within the camp on a large sheet of paper.

The monster camp is located in a fan-shaped, flat mountain valley. The valley slopes from left to right, and behind it is a towering mountain with an angle of nearly 90 degrees. You can climb to the top of the mountain from the back, but you can't come down from the valley.

The exit of the monster camp is located in front of the valley. The exit is extremely large and has several gates of various sizes. There are no fewer than six different types of monsters of different sizes living in the camp.

The three trolls' dwelling is located in an abandoned temple at the foot of the mountain. The temple's surface structure is only two and a half stories high, and the roof of the top floor has collapsed. There are monsters standing guard above it.

The internal structure of the temple has not yet been explored, and information is currently unavailable. Yareja observed that there are fewer than 10 figures who can enter and exit the temple, and these 10 should be the leaders of the monster camp.

Bai Ze's camp is located on the left side of the valley, outside the high mountain. Even if the wind blows towards the monster camp, the high mountain on the left can block the scent of their camp from reaching the monster camp.

Bai Ze came up with a good idea and spoke first:

"I have a batch of explosive bombs here. They have good power and damage. We can send a small team to climb up to the top of the mountain behind the monster camp from our side of the mountain. Once we launch the attack, the mountaintop will be bombarded from the sky, which can disrupt the monsters' deployment."

The greatsword master Guts suddenly asked Xiaomeng a question:

How many monsters can be detected on the ground?

Xiaomeng recalled the information Yalejia had gathered last night and said:

"The total number of monsters on the ground is over 3000, and there are no fewer than 500 goblin wolf riders alone."

There are many goblin shamans and big goblins, with a total number not less than 20.

The short, stocky goblins were mostly on the right side of the camp, while oddly shaped orcs could be seen scattered throughout the camp.

After listening to Xiaomeng's words, Bai Ze continued:

"There's a slight discrepancy in the total number of monsters. I think there's definitely something fishy going on in those temple ruins. Otherwise, the trolls wouldn't have allowed all the cave-dwelling and underground goblins to live on the surface. Maybe there's something the trolls don't even want the goblins to know about underground."

Gus nodded excitedly and said:

“I agree with Brother Bai Ze’s opinion. This time, let’s dig out what this troll is trying to hide and see what it is.”

Bai Ze then asked Xiao Meng:

"What kinds of high-level demons can enter and exit the temple ruins?"

"Three enormous trolls. The leader, clad in iron armor and wielding a greatsword, was noticeably taller than the other two by half a head. I suspect it was the one that caused everything in the ruins."

There were also two giant monsters who guarded the gate for the trolls and had not moved from the temple entrance.

Three figures, roughly the size of adults and wearing hoods, entered and exited the temple, but their faces were not seen.

The remaining units are two ornately dressed goblin shamans and a large goblin, possibly also a goblin hero unit.

Bai Ze stroked his chin and continued:

“These high-ranking individuals are not a problem. We have enough people to take on one-on-one and still have some left over. The most difficult one to deal with is that troll of unknown rank. We’ll leave the troll leader to me, Guts, and Aying to deal with.”

Now we need to figure out a good way to deal with as many of those low- to mid-level monsters as possible at once.

Goblin Slayer's eyes gleamed as he said:

"A large magic scroll can be used to deal with a batch, but it requires a small, concentrated space to release it. In the open air, most of the power will dissipate into the air."

Bai Ze then realized that he had never used his full power to unleash his Mountain-Shattering Earth-Splitting Slash. The first time he released it in the Heavenly Dragon Scripture Pavilion, it completely destroyed several acres of land. Later, he always released it with restraint in Demon Slayer.

This time, Bai Ze wanted to unleash a full-force Mountain-Shattering Slash to test its range. Although completely destroying the valley was a bit of an exaggeration, it should be able to collapse most of the monster camps.

Bai Ze raised his head and said to everyone:

"After clearing out the sentries around the monster camp, I'll handle the first wave of attacks on the monster camp. I have a move that should be able to deal with a large number of surface monsters."

Gus, with his arms crossed and looking very interested, said to Bai Ze:

"Oh! Brother Bai Ze, do you have a forbidden spell skill that can cover an area of ​​over a thousand meters? I'll definitely want to see it when the time comes!"

Everyone was also very interested in the attack Bai Ze mentioned. Raphael and the others had never seen Bai Ze unleash the full power of the Mountain-Shattering Slash before, and they wanted to see it for themselves.

Just then, someone lifted the curtain and entered the operations room tent; it was Misha who had returned.

Misha walked to the table, threw a few pictures on it, and then said:

"The temple ruins lead to the mountains behind. The first and second underground levels are not very large. The armored troll is guarding a huge stone door at the very back of the second level. We don't know what's inside."

The tents where the goblin shaman and the goblin hero lived in the surface camp were located in the northwest corner of the temple entrance. They were easily identifiable by the four large tents where the goblins lived side by side in front of them.

Only a small number of goblin wolf riders and a hundred-man guard of the goblin shaman were wearing armor; the weapons of the other goblin goblins were mostly crudely made.

Other lower- to mid-level monsters rarely wear armor or have iron weapons; most are made of wood or rely on their bodies to fight.

The monster watchtowers facing down from the mountain to our left are all in the second small image;

On my way back, I cleared out all the sentry posts and guard posts where the night and day shifts changed. During the operation, we can just focus on eliminating those few monster guard towers.

Misha's actions truly amazed everyone in the hall. When she took off her hat, revealing the unique charm of a dark elf, Misha instantly captivated a large number of people in the war room.

The half-forest light swordsman in Guts's heavy swordsman team stared at Misha's ears and face, turning into a statue, completely petrified by the charm Misha exuded.

The spearman next to Half-Forest Man, seeing Half-Forest Man's petrified state, nudged Half-Forest Man's waist with his elbow to bring Half-Forest Man's light swordsman back to his senses.

Then the spearman draped his arm over the half-forest man's shoulder, and with a sly grin, whispered to him:

"Has your goddess appeared yet? Looking at how young you are, you're so easy to understand."

With a flushed face, Bansen looked at Misha, who was surrounded by a group of women asking her all sorts of questions, and didn't even have the courage to go up and ask her name.
