"Let's see if there are any more that haven't died thoroughly, and don't miss a few, otherwise it may cause us unnecessary trouble. Stern took the lead in examining the goblins on the ground, and after a round of inspection, he finally made sure that there were no living mouths.

This battle can be said to be a big victory with a small victory, a total of thirty-two enemies were destroyed, including one low-level demonic beast, six high-level goblins, and twenty-five mid- and low-level goblins.

From these goblins, the number and strength of the goblins on the other side of the hill can be roughly deduced, one fifty-year-old low-level demonic beast, one twenty-year-old low-level demonic beast, two or three high-level goblins, and fifteen or sixteen medium- and low-level goblins.

Although it seems that the combat effectiveness of the goblins has been significantly weakened in terms of quantity, judging from the battle situation at the time of Xiao Ash, a fifty-year-old goblin king is enough for them to drink a pot now, and there are a total of two low-level demonic beasts over there, so they are still far inferior to the strength of the goblins in terms of strength, so they still have to go to the surrounding hills to investigate on the spot and make a careful plan, they can only outwit the invincible.

The golden sun shone on the snow-white earth, after the battle subsided, Higg and the others continued to hurry, they found a place without snow and stopped, Stern took the blood orchid potion from the spatial ring and applied some to the wounds of Harley and Ash, and then began to rest, after an hour of fighting, everyone was already exhausted and out of breath.

"Brother Andy, thank you for clearing me just now, otherwise I would have hurt more than just such a skin injury. Rubbing the potion wine, Harley turned to Stern and said gratefully.

Stern smiled and waved his hand,

"They are all comrades-in-arms, and it is appropriate to relieve each other."

"Hahaha, happy, I've never been as happy as I am today. As soon as Higg sat down, he began to laugh,

"We've never won this big victory before, but this time we've wiped out half of the goblins, and we're getting closer to the final victory. ”

"There are still more than thirty goblins on the other side of the hill, and there should be no more than fifteen of them who can participate in the battle, which means that most of the goblins have already poured out of the nest, and there are only a few light pole commanders left over there. As long as we find a way to solve the goblin king, the other goblins will be scattered. The crux of the matter is how to get the Goblin King without getting hurt yourself. Harley sat down on a rock and said to the others, he had been dangling around the hills with Higg for the past few days, and he knew the overall strength of the goblins.

"Everyone is almost rested, let's continue our journey, it shouldn't be far from here to the hills, right?" said Stern to the group, putting away the blood orchid potion and axe.

"It's about an hour from here, so let's go. With that, Higg led the way.

It didn't take long for Stern and his party to arrive at the Dwarven Orchard, it was the end of the cold season, and there was no fruit left in the orchard, and the goblins would not be here at this time.

"Look at our hill, and the five or six big caves at the foot of the hill are our iron smelting, piling up debris, and now there are some low- and medium-level goblins living in them", and then Higg pointed to the cave in the middle of the hill,

"Look at that cave, a little bit from the entrance of the cave should be guarding two high-level goblins, that is where the goblin king lives, this time it is estimated that there are only these two high-level goblins left in the entire hill, and then look at the three or four caves on the side that are small to live in these three low-level demonic beasts, the dumb who was subdued by me and the one I killed today live there, and now there is only one goblin left. As he spoke, a goblin who was almost one meter six tall walked out of the largest cave, followed by two high-level goblins, the height difference between them was about fifty centimeters, and then there was a dark green skin on the body, which looked like a solid set of armor.

This goblin is very powerful, this is the first image of Stern when he sees it, and even if he joins forces with Ash, he should not be an opponent.

Stern has a general idea of the strength of his opponent,

"It seems that the next battle will be more difficult than we imagined, and the goblin king may not be able to defeat it under normal circumstances, so we have to think of any other good way."

"Our Dwarven Hill is two hundred years old now, and our ancestors spent two years searching for this habitat and traveled all over the northern part of the island before finally choosing this place. Pointing to the hill, Higg said to Stern,

"The stone of this hill is soft and easy to excavate, and at the same time it has a lot of tenacity to dig the cave and it will not collapse and be safe, our hill has a total of fifteen caves, eight are at the foot of the mountain, six are on the front and can be seen from here, the other two are on the back, except for the eight caves at the foot of the mountain, the other caves are connected, we can sneak in from the cave on the back of the hill, all the way to the cave where the goblin king is, and give it a fatal blow when it is unaware, so I don't know if it is feasible?" Stern looked up at the goblin king at the mouth of the cave and frowned slightly,

"It's not the best way to get to the Goblin King's cave through the tunnels, but there is an extra way out in a critical moment. However, we can start with the twenty-year-old low-level goblins, deal with them before the goblin king finds out, and evacuate safely."

Higg nodded

"Hmm~, so the risk is reduced, and the success rate is increased, so when will we do it?"

"No hurry, it's evening, it's easier to do it tomorrow morning when they're all asleep, now we need to figure out how many goblins live in each cave, and then we can assign tasks," Stern replied calmly, touching his chin.

Everyone watched from the secret part of the orchard, and as it grew dark, they did not light a fire but ate a little dry food to avoid being discovered by the enemy.

"At the foot of the hill, the second and fifth caves have the largest number of goblins, and the goblins of Halley, Thea, and Uncle Higg will be handed over to the three of you, and you just need to solve those two caves, and leave the rest alone. Stern said to the three of them,

"Ash and Dumb will ambush at the mouth of the goblin king's cave in advance, your goal is to deal with those two high-level goblins, and as soon as I enter the cave, you will do it, and evacuate immediately after you succeed, don't entangle with the goblin king. Now let's get some rest, and we'll do it in the early hours of the morning. Higg nodded and said:

"Okay, Andy, Thea, Harley, you rest first, I'll stand guard in the first half of the night, and you come in the second half of the night, Harley. "It's always quietest before the storm, everyone is building up energy for the early morning battle, and little by little time is passing and they are about to get moving.
