I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

During their escape, Anno encountered goblins on the outskirts.

However, these goblins on the outskirts were mostly low-level beings, and they were no match for Anno and Liz riding wind wolves.

Anno ran out of the forest and hid outside.

Only after confirming that no goblins were chasing them did they return to the town of Gruul.

Inside the forbidden forest.

The place was bustling with activity.

Everywhere you look, there are hordes of goblins, trolls, kobolds, ratmen, and other monsters.

Humans broke in twice in one day and killed so many of our fellow countrymen.

The monsters were all enraged!

The chieftains of the eight elite monster clans guarding the goblin cave were gathered around the Goblin King, clamoring to go out and hunt humans.

The Goblin King, sitting on the stone throne, was not very tall, only about 1.5 meters.

It held a magic wand in its hand and wore an iron crown on its head.

Hearing the various clan leaders' requests for battle, the Goblin King sighed, looked up at the glowing stone embedded in the cave ceiling, and murmured, "This day has finally come!"

Humans have invaded twice and killed hundreds of demons.

As the Goblin King, no matter how unwilling it was, it had to retaliate.

"Have all the demons from Mir Village and other scattered areas withdraw, then inform the adults in the Aiur Mountains that humans have begun sending scouts to investigate, and war could break out at any moment!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing the order, a level 10 ratman chieftain ran out of his cave, intending to select a few fast riders to deliver the message to the Aier Mountains.

The other clan leaders also left and returned to their tribes to begin preparations.

It's already afternoon, and I expect to receive a reply from the Aiers Mountains tomorrow.

"Hopefully it's just the people of that city attacking us, and not some plague god trying to wipe us out!"

The Goblin King shook his head, trying to clear his mind of those unpleasant memories.

It looked down at the scythe-wielding goblin and asked, "You said before that a goblin used Lady Liz's information to lure you away, intending to ambush you, and then suddenly disappear?"

"That's right! This is how it happened..."

The scythe goblin began to recount in detail what had happened that morning to the goblin king.

When Anno returned to the town of Gruel, he found it to be somewhat desolate.

The few pedestrians we occasionally encountered on the road were all in a hurry.

Arriving at the mayor's office, Anno found the mayor.

After some inquiries, it was learned that the town's residents had all been informed of the relocation.

Tomorrow morning, everyone will prepare to set off for Warkam.

"If there were any other way, nobody would want to leave the town!"

Lia said with a worried look, "But knowing that there are so many monsters in the Forbidden Forest, and that they could break out at any time, we dare not stay here any longer."

The town of Gruul doesn't have enough defenses to hold off these monsters. Leaving here means at least we won't have to live in constant fear!

What Mayor Ria said was exactly what the townspeople of this small town were thinking.

Anyway, the crops we planted before were destroyed by slimes that covered the mountains and fields during the last monster night raid.

Aside from the house, they had nothing else to miss here.

Even living as a poor person in Val'kam is better than living near the Forbidden Forest and worrying every day about a group of powerful monsters rushing out.

Anno naturally had no objection to the townspeople leaving.

Without the townspeople, Anno can hunt monsters in the Forbidden Forest without any worries about them coming out to retaliate against the townspeople.

I spent another night at the Moonlight Tavern.

The next day, Uncle Len and Uncle John, along with their families and luggage, followed the main group to Warkam.

Accompanying them were thirty guards and Mavis's mercenary squad.

After walking with the group for a while, Anno strayed from the group.

"Anno, aren't you going back to Valkam?"

Seeing Anno change direction, Mavis asked in confusion.

Having located the elite goblin force in the Forbidden Forest, the exploration mission can be considered complete.

Mavis couldn't understand why Anno wasn't going back to Valcalm, but instead heading northeast.

"I have some personal matters to attend to!"

Anno's original plan was to obtain five hundred green-level souls in the Forbidden Forest before heading to the location of the green dot in his mind.

However, when Anno went to explore the Forbidden Forest this morning, he discovered that a large number of high-level goblins had appeared on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.

You can see a low-level goblin roughly every ten meters.

It looked as if it were about to burst out of the forbidden forest and raze the town of Gruul at any moment.

The goblins' behavior deterred Anno from venturing in.

Those hundreds of high-level goblins are no pushovers!

If he were to be surrounded by goblins all by himself, he might be worn down to death even if he stayed in the church!

In this situation, it would be better to release the goblin's pigeons for two days first.

Anyway, everyone in the town of Grür has left.

Even if they were to attack the town of Gruel, they would only end up with an empty town.

Moreover, Anno was worried that the unknown area to the northeast was different from the church in the Forbidden Forest, so he planned to go and check it out first.

Riding the Wind Wolf, Anno sped across the grassland and began heading northeast.

......

Sodar Royal City!

Prince Tester led three thousand soldiers and provisions, leaving the royal city in a grand procession.

News of the Third Prince's mission to the Southern Territory to wipe out the remnants of the Demon King's Seventh Army also spread throughout the royal city.

The entire capital city was abuzz with the discussion about this matter.

Tester's image gradually became great in the hearts of the residents of the royal city.

......

The Ayer Mountains.

In the dilapidated mountain stronghold, several monsters of various shapes gathered together, staring at the ratman who had come to deliver the message.

After listening to the ratmen's report, a lion-headed man looked at the others and asked in a low voice, "For the past ten years, the border city of the Kingdom of Nigal has not set foot in the Ai'er Mountains, and they rarely even venture into the Goblin Forest. Yet this time they've sent out a scouting party. What do you all think?"

The lizardman beside him stuck out his tongue, his eyes darting around before settling on the slender figure beside him. He said in a sinister tone, "Without a doubt, the reason humans did these things is because of Ella's Lisz's attack on the human village!"

The lizardmen's speculation was met with nods of agreement from the demon leaders present.

In the past decade, there has been no sign of humans launching a proactive attack.

As soon as Ella led her troops to attack human villages and towns, humans immediately sent out scouts to explore the goblin forest.

The succubus Ella's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

Of all the information the ratmen shared, Ella only heard one thing.

That means Liz might have been killed during the attack on the human village!

"Damn humans, whoever killed my sister, I will find you and make you wish you were dead!"
