Soon, night falls.

Although they didn't know the time ratio between the illusion and the real world, everyone still felt quite tired after the sun went down. Soon, they returned to the hotel room and fell into a deep sleep.

They didn't know how long it took before the scorching breath and screams woke them up. When everyone opened their eyes, all they saw were the firelight rising into the sky and the screams coming from outside the house.

What happened?

Everyone who was asleep opened their eyes and looked around at a loss.

But the next moment, they were stunned by the monster that broke into the door.

That's... Goblin!!!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Looking at the disgraced people in front of her, Aili shook her head silently.

"I never thought you would make such a mistake..."

"……………………"

Hearing Aili's usual sarcasm, everyone lowered their heads, clasped their hands, and showed unwilling expressions on their faces.

The reason is very simple. The reason why they were wiped out this time was not because they were trapped by goblins, or were attacked by a surprise attack, or were caught off guard during the battle. It was simply because they... didn't get up.

That's right...

These people were students after all, and they couldn't change the habit of changing into pajamas before going to bed. The result was that when they realized something was wrong and wanted to change clothes and pick up weapons to fight, the goblins had already broken through the door and pounced on them.

There are no weapons or armors. Except for a few martial arts professions that rely on fists and kicks, it is certainly impossible for others to fight against the goblins unarmed. The result is that they will either be killed by the goblins unprepared, or they will be burned to death in a panic.

.

It can be called the most useless way to die.

"I'll give you one day to prepare and continue tomorrow. This is just the beginning."

As Ellie said, this is just the beginning.

Soon, everyone discovered that the test they experienced this time was far greater than the last time.

Although it looked disgusting and irritating last time, in the final analysis the goal is clear. The location is the cave and the enemy is the Goblin. As long as you enter the cave and kill the Goblin inside, the mission is completed.

But this time it's different.

Just like sandbox games, some people like sandbox games because sandbox games give them a sense of creating a real world, and they can do whatever they want freely. But some people hate sandbox games because there is no

A clear goal, without a clear direction, but letting yourself wander around without any clear instructions and content... For them now, that's it.

The second time, they were well prepared and did not rest. Instead, they stayed all night waiting, but the goblins did not appear. On the contrary, because most people here were not suitable for staying up late, the result was a mess.

When they were exhausted the next day, the goblins seemed to have discovered this and took the opportunity to launch an attack.

What was better than last time was that this time they did not take off their clothes to sleep, but the whole village still turned into a sea of ​​fire, and then everyone was burned to death again.

For the third time, the angry students decided to take the initiative and divided into several teams to search for traces of goblins, trying to catch them all before they took action. As a result, no one was left to defend them, and in the end they had nothing to gain.

When I came back, I saw only the village that had turned into ashes and the villagers who died in miserable ways.

Of course, the mission was judged to have failed by Ellie - after all, what did you protect?

the fourth time……………

"We have to find another way."

Kaori, who was sitting at the table again, frowned anxiously, while Amagawa Kouki next to her looked downcast and had nothing to say. He had been in charge of the command several times before, and the result was failure again and again.

, so that Tianzhihe Guanghui doesn’t know what to do now.

"How about we do the same as before and spread out the search. We only need to leave a group of people in the village. Once the goblins attack the village, we will immediately send out a signal. Then we will cooperate inside and outside to wipe out this group of goblins.

How about it?"

"It sounds too complicated. Don't forget what happened when we used this method before."

"Well……………"

If there are lessons from these failures, one of the lessons they learn is that the more ingenious an idea is, the easier it is to mess it up in action.

"How about we send people with the vocation of assassination to ambush outside? Isn't it because there are goblins investigating? As long as we catch them, we can know the location of their lair."

"Well said, do you understand the Goblin language? I don't understand."

"Is there an easier way? To be honest, I think we should put aside those smart ideas and just use the stupidest method. As long as we stay in the village, the goblins will not dare to attack.

Just spend it with them."

"How long will it take? Doesn't it take a year or two? That witch will really lock us up here for two years?"

"Well……………"

Don't tell me, Aili can really do it.

At this moment, Kaori took a breath and looked at everyone.

"I have an idea."

"Kaori?"

"what idea?"

"Now, we know that the Goblins have sent people to monitor here, so as long as we make any move, they will react accordingly, then..."

After saying this, Kaori paused.

"We might as well just plan it out."

As she spoke, Kaori expressed her thoughts. Upon hearing her plan, the classmates looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"How about it? Does anyone object?"

"……………………"

"Then, it's decided."

Soon, night fell again. I don’t know how many times, darkness enveloped the village. As the last firelight disappeared, everything returned to tranquility under the moonlight.

"hope everything is fine."

Huddled in the corner of the sentry tower, looking out through the window, Kaori sighed softly. Her plan was simple, just like they did before, pretending to have rested and not patrolling the guards.

Lure those goblins to attack, while the others stay hidden, and then jump out to defeat the goblins when they attack. Then, students who are good at hiding and tracking will follow the defeated goblin army to find their lair.

, and then destroy them all in one go.

So far, it's been exactly what Miss Ellie thought.

Realizing the knowledge and experience contained in this, Kaori became more and more uneasy. They did like the friendly and enthusiastic villagers in this village, and they did feel pain because there was no way to save them. But deep down in Kaori's heart, she warned

For her, this was not enough - because what Ellie said before still echoed in her heart.

"You have made a choice and you have to bear the consequences."

What exactly does that sentence mean?

Kaori hasn't figured it out so far, but she has an intuition that this illusion... may be even scarier than before.

"coming!"

At this moment, suddenly, the voice of her good friend, a pony-tailed girl, interrupted Kaori's thoughts. She raised her head and looked out through the hole in the sentry tower. Sure enough, she saw a group of black figures on the grassland illuminated by the moonlight.

It is heading towards the village quickly.

That is……………

"A goblin riding a wolf?"

Seeing this scene, Kaori's eyes widened in surprise. The goblins in front of her were wearing tattered armor and holding tattered weapons. They were riding on wild wolves, charging towards the village like wolf knights.

Do goblins actually still exist?

"What should we do now?"

"Attack in advance!"

Originally, Kaori thought that the goblins would sneak in, and did not consider that the opponent actually had a cavalry unit. But now she could not afford to regret it. After making the decision, Kaori raised the tin staff in her hand and raised it high.

Soon, a beam of light shot out from it, flew into the sky, and exploded like a flash bomb, illuminating the grassland.

That was the signal to start war.

It has to be said that the goblins would mount a wolf to attack, which really surprised these envoys, but they soon came to their senses and began to counterattack according to the previous arrangement. Because they were not in a dark and narrow tunnel.

There was no need to worry about accidentally injuring one's own people, so the magicians, magicians and other long-range professionals among the angels also showed their power and used their own spells to wipe out the Goblin cavalry.

"Wow...the girls in our class are so fierce."

Looking at the flashing thunder, the bursting flames and the violent rain of arrows on the grassland outside, the melee professionals guarding the village entrance were also trembling.

"They are holding it in too much and want to let out a breath, but it seems like they can't do it without us on the stage."

Soon, the cavalry was defeated, but the goblins did not choose to retreat. On the contrary, they launched a second wave of attacks again, and this wave...

"hiss-!"
To be continued...
