"Do you come out on your own, or will I poke you a few holes with my sword first?" There was indifference in his voice, but also the arrogance of a high-ranking person.

Anyway, the words of the female knight made Martin quite uneasy.

Are you a legendary wood elf in the forests of the southern continent?

Born with dark vision?

Martin was a little blindsided, and he was twenty meters away from the female knight. This is all found out at once, can this death game be played?

For a second, Martin almost wanted to turn himself in.

Soon, Martin calmed down again.

As a man who aspires to be an old coward in the Otherworldly Battle Royale, how can he be bluffed out so easily?

Hum!

I!

Just as Martin was calming down, and even his breathing was at its most gentle, at the farther end of the line with the female knight, there was a sudden burst of startled laughter like a night owl.

"Human chick, are you so eager to die?"

It was clear that the guy was speaking orc language, and it seemed that the gods had done something, and Martin could hear it clearly without any obstacles.

Martin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the female knight had just targeted someone else. With the help of a system scan, Martin suddenly discovered that a goblin thief had jumped from a small decorative window to the west of the chieftain's hall.

Seriously, for some reason, the chief hall is quite unventilated. Obviously, the sun was shining outside, and the air windows above the hall could hardly let the light hit the hall because of the upward facing windows.

If there is no lighting, the floor of the hall will be almost invisible.

In this case, the silver armor becomes very eye-catching.

Instead, as soon as the dwarf goblin jumped to the ground, he bent down and moved quickly and lightly.

"Hey, hey, hey, human, I long to see what color your intestines are. The goblin thief licked his lips with the snake's head wickedly.

"Hehe, self-defeating fellow. The female knight didn't say much, and directly drew her sword out of the sheath.

Obviously this wasn't the sword she was used to, and even Martin, a layman, looked a little awkward, let alone the orc thief, who was definitely an expert.

"It's hard to use something that you can't get used to. Let me free you—" The orc thieves chattered and spewed trash talk.

This kind of noisy sound was a little ethereal in the dark, Martin obviously heard the sound coming from the right, but the scanning of the system elf clearly saw that the goblin thief had silently touched the female knight's back, and pounced on it with great light and speed.

That's a dead end in the absolute sense of the word.

It is impossible for a human to see behind her, and a full-face helmet with further obstruction of vision, except for the narrow gap in the full-face helmet, and the round holes at the upper and lower ends of the gap that can only accommodate a little finger to fit into, the female knight has no more vision at all.

What's more, this is still a very dimly lit hall.

For a moment, Martin almost wanted to pull the trigger.

But he wasn't sure.

The thief was too fast, faster than he could catch with the naked eye.

Just as Martin hesitated, the female knight had already been hit, stumbling, and almost unsteady on her feet.

"Bang!" There was a crisp sound, and it was theorized that the joint part of the armor that had been attacked just now had not been pierced by the thief's dagger.

Instead, after a single blow, the system wizard's scan yielded results:

【Silver Helmet】

This shimmering full armor is lightweight, but it still gives the user a heavy protection bonus - obviously, typical elven craftsmanship.

Effect: Defense +8

"This thing...... That's a good thing!" Martin said to himself.

I thought that this silver shining armor was a ceremonial product, but who knew that it was actually a good product produced by elves.

In other words, are there other elves in this world besides wood elves?

This question is destined to remain unresolved for the time being.

Immediately after that, the goblin thieves launched several more attacks. Despite her awkward appearance, the female knight remained unharmed, except that her armor had become a little tattered.

Martin suddenly felt that this scene was very similar to his killing of trolls. It's just that the identities have been reversed, and the humans have become trolls, and the goblins have become the humans of that night.

The taller and more defensive side has a lot of opportunities to make mistakes, but the smaller side with weaker defense and vitality will not even have a chance to make a mistake.

Really......

On the seventh hit, the female knight counterattacked, and the obviously inappropriate sword suddenly drew a standard semicircle from the front, and turned around with great accuracy to slash at the goblin thief who was pounced.

The goblin didn't even scream, and his short body and small head fell directly to the ground, becoming the same existence as his compatriots who had been here for an unknown number of years.

"Whew, whew!" the knight gasped.

For some reason, Martin had a feeling that the female knight seemed to be ...... I don't have much combat experience either.

Just as Martin wondered if he should say hello to the female knight, suddenly, a line of fire burned from far and near from the entrance to the fortress.

With the spread of the line of fire, Martin saw clearly at this time that the so-called line of fire was the trunking buried in the wall in advance. There should be flammable materials such as oil in the tank, and as the oil is lit, the torches next to the wire groove are lit.

All of a sudden, most of the palace became ablaze.

It just so happened that the side where Martin was still pitch black. Because the trunking on this side seems to have been destroyed in the battle.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do I see? a human chick!"

"It's what the great gods said, kill a human who counts as two points!"

sang and harmonized, and it was two half-orcs who came.

According to the legend of the Kaos continent, the orcs are a cross between the male orcs and the females of other humanoids.

Martin didn't know if the legend was true or not. One thing is certain, half-orcs are slightly weaker than orcs. On the other hand, they are not as irascible as orcs, and their brains are better. To a certain extent, the threat to humanity is not decreasing, but rising.

The two orcs seem to have teamed up on their own.

One of them, a half-orc with a round face, wore a boar tooth on the bridge of his nose, held two serrated one-handed axes, and was covered in armor except for his head, which looked rather difficult to mess with.

The other is holding a rough heavy crossbow in a typical orc style. But what he stands out most about is not his weapons, but his body. There were large and small blood holes on half of his body near his right chest, where live maggots were coming in and out.

The female knight shuddered as if in a creep.

The half-orc with the crossbow was upset: "Woman, what do you mean!? Are you looking down on me as a maggot messenger?"
