... live free!

After a while, many adventurers gathered near the gate. There are adventurers who have returned from scouting, so is it time for Mr. Zeros to come and explain? When I waited, Mr. Zeros came.

The adventurers who were laughing at Mr. Zeros' arrival calmed down. Xeros began to talk about looking over at the adventurers.

"... first, I'll share the information I got from scouting." First of all, it's a goblin base, but there's a base about an hour away from here. There are a lot of Goblins patrolling the road, and the Goblins have begun to be more vigilant during reconnaissance, and now they have a lot of guards. Pay close attention to this as the cause is still unknown.

Next up is the base, but the entrance is guarded and divided into three aisles: one is the vault, the other is the goblin's bed, and finally, it's supposed to have the goblins' boss. I don't have any more information, but they say there are many top Goblin species where the goblins are supposed to be. This is the information we got from this reconnaissance. "

How many top Goblins are there?

"As for that, I felt like there was a hundred people. However, it's the entrance part, so there could be more in the back."

"That's tough on our warpower, isn't it..."

Then one of the adventurers muttered such a thing, and the adventurers who were nearby nodded in the same way.

"Indeed, this base is quite tough this time." In the first place, even this settlement was supposed to be pretty tough, but fortunately there were no injured people and no dead people yet. I think we did it because we paid enough attention to the goblins to defeat them. I want you to do the same this time. I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't set up an ambush. Perhaps the goblins are alert to our presence. "

Then what kind of operation are you going to do?

"... Basically, I want to do the same as the crusade on this settlement." But this time, it's more dangerous than that. Therefore, if the situation becomes unfavorable during the operation, it is okay to retreat to the place where the carriage is located, but please be careful not to take the goblins back to the carriage as much as possible. "

"Does that mean we can return at our discretion?"

"Yes, but if you retreat, you'll have to help protect the carriage unless you're injured." Of course, there are dangers when you retreat, but be very careful. ”

The adventurers nodded.

“Is there anything else you'd like to ask?”

When I heard that, the adventurers were asking some questions, so I waited for them to finish.

"Have you finished with the question?"

Yes, Mr. Xeros checked to see if there were any questions, but the questions from the adventurers didn't go up.

"... the end of the operation will be at sunset." Until then, rest and take care of your weapons. "

Then, the description of the operation was finished, and each of them began to prepare. However, some adventurers went to tell the adventurers who were protecting other places. "Well, it must have been Xeros-san's order..." With that in mind, I decided to take care of my weapon a little further away.
