I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

The Edge of the Forbidden Forest!

Anno summoned five level 5 slimes.

Once his magic power was fully restored, he carefully stepped inside, shield in his left hand and short sword in his right.

Although the surrounding trees are very tall, the gaps between them are large, and the light is plentiful, so it is not dark inside.

Anno kept a watchful eye on his surroundings as he made his way toward the church he remembered.

Boom!

Use your short sword to make a mark on the tree trunk to prevent getting lost in the forest.

A few days ago, Anno, who was being chased by goblins, ran wildly through the forest for ten minutes before escaping.

This time, out of caution, it took Anno more than twenty minutes to see the dilapidated church.

Instead of immediately moving closer, Anno hid behind a large tree and sent a slime to observe the situation.

After connecting his consciousness to a summoned slime, Anno's vision turned grayish-white.

"Chirp!"

The summoned slime, manipulated by Anno, hopped and skipped out of the forest.

Bloodstains from the battle three days ago were still visible on the ground.

"Judging from the amount of health, it must have been left by the brother who was shot in the arm!"

After reaching a conclusion in his mind, Anno continued to manipulate the slime forward.

Just as the summoned slime was about to reach the collapsing church wall, an arrow suddenly flew from above.

The sharp arrowhead easily pierced the slime's skin and then sank in completely!

Anno's consciousness returned instantly, and he was breathing heavily.

When Anno was hit by the arrow, he thought he was going to die for a moment!

"An arrow shot from above!"

The summoned slime's health kept dropping, and it died in no time.

But Anno also obtained intelligence.

He hid behind the giant tree, cautiously peeking out to look up at the church.

Despite the distance, Anno spotted a goblin with a bow sitting on a leaning stone pillar, swinging its legs and grinning as it looked down at the slime that had been shot dead.

Race: Goblin

Rating: 5

Life: 500/500

Mana: 100/100

Skills: None

"Level 5!"

Anno was glad that he hadn't gone up there himself.

The stone pillar is about seven meters tall, offering a commanding view.

If you approach from the edge of the forest, you will surely be spotted by this goblin archer!

Even if you have a shield, you are still at risk of being shot if you are unprepared.

Moreover, once it discovers an intrusion, it will definitely call for other goblins.

If a sentry is level 5, then the leader of the group is definitely above level 5.

Anno noticed that the goblin archer yelled a few times down after shooting the slime.

Before long, several goblins appeared in Anno's field of vision.

They were summoned by the goblin archers to carry the slime's corpse.

The slime inside a slime can also be used as food by goblins.

The goblin archer said it killed a very large slime, enough for a dozen goblins to have a feast.

Slimes, which are at the bottom of the food chain, rarely grow to a diameter of 60 centimeters.

Especially in forests teeming with monsters!

What puzzled them was that, apart from an arrow, there was no slime corpse around.

The goblin archer was also stunned when he heard the news.

It had no idea that the slime was a summoned creature, much less that the slime would disappear after it died!

The goblin, having found nothing, left cursing and swearing.

"There are level 5 ones, and also level 3 and level 4 ones!" Anno saw the information about the goblins when they appeared.

"It seems to be pretty much as I imagined. These goblins have developed intelligence, and there is a clear division of labor within the group."

There are archers acting as sentries, and a group of goblins capable of melee combat.

This is already a team!

For Anno, the goblins being too strong is not a good thing.

This means that it will be very difficult for Anno to find out the location of the captured women from the goblins, let alone rescue them.

However, Anno doesn't want to leave now.

After thinking for a while, Anno then controlled a slime to leave the forest.

This time, Anno didn't let it get close to the church ruins, but instead circled the church.

Meanwhile, Anno was also keeping an eye on the movements of the goblin archers on the stone pillar.

When the slime hopped out again, the goblin archer quickly spotted it and aimed his arrow at it.

However, it noticed that the slime wasn't coming any closer, so it put the bow down again.

The two were more than a hundred meters apart, which was beyond the range of the goblin archer.

"Pooh!"

The goblin archer spat and ignored the slime running in circles, continuing to swing its short legs, fiddling with its bow, wondering if it had just imagined something.

I clearly shot and killed a slime!

"call!"

Anno breathed a sigh of relief and continued to control the slime to observe the surrounding situation.

After a period of observation, Anno gained some understanding of the terrain around the church and the distribution of goblins.

It is surrounded by forests, with an open area in the middle.

The church is located in the center of the area.

The church was not large; the entire ruins were roughly a circle with a diameter of about thirty meters.

Anno was standing right behind the church.

From the front, Anno saw the church doors.

On either side of the collapsed gate, there is a broken stone sculpture, each over three meters tall.

Beside the stone sculpture sat five short goblins, with weapons such as short swords, long knives, and spears beside them.

Among them were several goblins who had just been preparing to move the slime's corpse.

At this moment, the goblins were chatting, occasionally letting out an unpleasant "hehehe" laugh.

"Were all those women locked up inside the church?!"

Anno had no way of seeing what was inside the ruins.

However, he believes that the woman who was captured is very likely still inside the ruins!

There were even goblins watching them.

"We have to find a way to lure out a goblin!"

This is Anno's main purpose in coming here today.

If you can hunt down a lone goblin, you can summon goblins to fight!

Although both are monsters, a level 5 goblin is much stronger than a level 5 slime.

Goblins are intelligent, know how to cooperate, and can use weapons.

Even a level 5 apprentice professional has to be extremely careful when facing a level 5 goblin.

Otherwise, the trainee might be the one to die!

When Anno first arrived in the other world, he used his trench coat to block the goblins' vision, and then smashed a goblin's head with a sharp stone, successfully killing one.

This was due to a combination of boldness and meticulousness, as well as a bit of luck.

Goblins are not easy to kill, otherwise the former mayor of Gruul Town would not have returned with only one mercenary after leading more than a dozen level 5 or higher professionals.

"Gibberish..."

A goblin in front of the church gate finally noticed the slime that had been hopping around in the distance. It picked up a stick from its side and walked towards the slime with a pigeon-toed gait.

It was excited.

I was just tricked by my companion; I never expected there to be such a huge slime right in front of me!

I've been eating meat for the past few days, so it's nice to change things up today.

When the goblin got within thirty meters, the slime seemed to sense the danger and started running into the forest.

The goblins had already come this far, so they weren't about to let the slime escape. They grabbed their wooden sticks and gave chase.
