Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

Using this method, the heroes finally managed to kill a few stone golems.

But there were only a few.

The opponent is not agile, but not incapable of fighting back. Moreover, their strength and resilience are ridiculously high, and they can also use earth magic.

For the brave warriors, even one was quite troublesome, let alone so many! (Liu)

Moreover, this is different from goblins; it can't be dealt with simply by using special abilities.

Therefore, the heroes could only watch helplessly as their enemies advanced into human territory.

Their target was the mines in human territory, but fortunately, everyone at the mines had already been evacuated by then.

But the heroes were still unwilling to give up.

They are heroes, are they just supposed to watch helplessly as human territory is trampled upon?!

Then, through Filia and Marie, Irene warned the heroes again—

Never let elemental creatures set foot in the mine.

Forests have a large number of plants, and these plants are earth element creatures, so they will interfere with the forests to some extent.

However, once they enter the mine, they will be like tigers with wings, unleashing even greater strength than usual.

At that point, the heroes will have no choice but to hand over the mine.

Because they no longer have the right to resist.

The mine is the home ground of earth element creatures.

During this time, Felia recruited many heroes who used wood magic to block these elemental creatures in the forest.

The time has come to tonight.

Thick walls of trees have risen in the original forest, hindering the movement of the elemental creatures.

Some of them would damage the wooden walls, while others would choose to take a detour; in short, their progress was slowed down.

Fortunately, unlike goblins, they couldn't jump over these wooden walls, giving the heroes some breathing room.

But it was only a matter of time before the mine fell.

must……

Kill them all in the forest!

Exhausted, Felia arrived at the training ground where Irene was. Seeing her master still intently drawing, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Master, I'm thinking that all the ordinary people in the mine have already been evacuated."

"Should we also evacuate and let these demons in, so we can deal with them later when we're strong enough?" Felia asked.

To be honest, after this period of fighting, she was starting to have second thoughts.

It's not that human territory isn't important, but rather that there are no longer any humans on that land who need protection.

It's just land; it's not going anywhere. We should avoid its sharp edge now.

"Being able to advance or retreat is not a bad thing."

However, I must remind you that elemental creatures can modify their environment.

They will transform the occupied territories into areas more suitable for their battles.

In other words, the longer it drags on, the more difficult these elemental creatures become to deal with.

"Moreover, more elemental creatures will emerge in the environment, and these elemental creatures will continue to expand their territory."

You're only seeing dozens or hundreds right now, but in just a few days, there could be hundreds more.

I asked you to stop these elemental creatures so that you could eliminate them when they are at their weakest.

However, if there's really no other way, you can withdraw if you want.

Just remember to make sure the ordinary people around you retreat as well, if you don't want more casualties.

Irene wanted to do something, but...

Now is the time when you absolutely must not make a move.

Unlike the Goblin King's time, these elemental creatures were "dropped" here.

It was projected here using spatial magic by some powerful demon.

The other party may be observing all of this.

Is she confident that she won't be noticed by the opponent when she makes a move?

of course not.

It's fine for the hero to act, but if the demons discover her existence and find that her strength has been restored, then...

The consequences would be truly unimaginable.

The enemies she attracts are definitely beyond the capabilities of modern humans.

Even An Yi, the strongest human, would not have enough lives to survive against an enemy of the same level as Irene.

"Is there no way out...?"

Felia clenched her fist.

It's either kill or escape.

But if they escape, these demons will become even more difficult to control in the future.

While the heroes are improving their strength, the people can only keep fleeing. Their homes will be destroyed, their daily lives will be gone forever, and countless people will be displaced and homeless.

Are these sacrifices really necessary?

If we had eliminated these demons when they were at their weakest, wouldn't this have prevented this from happening?

If we don't want to see that kind of future, we can only do something now.

“If there’s nothing you can do, then run. Life is more important than anything else,” Elef added.

"No! Let me think of another way!"

What we need to protect is not just human life, but also their smiles!

"I don't want to see anyone forced to leave their home!" Felia said emotionally.

Irene paused, startled, and turned to look at Felia.

Then, he went back to drawing;

"Wow, protecting their smiles? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."

In my opinion, they should be grateful that their lives were saved.

"Good luck then, there's nothing I can do to help now anyway."

She had never even considered protecting her smile.

魔族7在扩张领土4，那民众们1能提6前得到9通知，能逃跑0能得救，不就7该满面8笑容乐呵呵0地逃跑吗？

Why are there still so many things to do?

I don't understand.

Looking at the wall covered with An Yi's paintings, Felia suddenly said, "Senior brother... if we send him, can he handle it?"

"Yes!" Irene turned her head sharply, her eyes seeming to sparkle.

“…Master, you’re not sure either, right?” Felia sighed softly.

"Ah...ah? I'm so sure! That child can definitely solve the problem!" Elef exclaimed excitedly.

Felia: "..."

Master just wants to see Senior Brother!

In reality, Annie had absolutely no idea whether she could resolve this crisis!

However... Felia did have high hopes for An Yi.

Because there's absolutely no other way now.

The Saintess Squad has been overcoming various difficulties and standing at the forefront of the entire world of heroes, having survived all the hardships and dangers along the way.

So, what solutions might be available to address this crisis?

"At full speed... it will only take half a day."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go find my senior brother now."

"I hope the war against the Goblin Empire is over," Felia said solemnly.

"Okay, okay! Go quickly!!"

Irene smiled and pointed at Felia with her paintbrush.

Suddenly, Felia felt as if her whole body had become several times lighter, as if she could fly away with a light step.

"Go and come back quickly~~" Irene waved her hand.

"Yes! Master!"

Felia turned and took a step forward—

Then, with a "thud," it crashed into the wall at the end of the corridor.

He stood up from the ground, clutching his bleeding nose and forehead, and headed in another direction.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

It seems that it will take some time before I can take control of my body.

On another note, is it possible for a hero to accidentally kill himself by banging his head against a wall?

Lost in thought, Irene continued to paint, her brush in hand, and thinking about seeing Annie soon, she painted even more diligently.
