The atmosphere inside the capital fortress still looks very crowded, especially in some bars filled with Senshi who are spending their nights drunk and hiring p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.es.

"Meritz, I think we need to cancel our plan to attack the Raid Zone again. I heard the news that the Cloud has returned and the three of them are back in critical condition." said Lyz, who seated at one of the tables with Meritz.

"What?! They are in critical condition?? No way!! No matter how strong the enemy they face, there's no way they could lose, let alone to be critical!" Meritz exclaimed, surprised.

"But I heard the news a while ago directly from the NoobKiller member."

"What kind of enemy have they faced?" said Meritz, pondering.

On the other side of the bar.

"Ah... I drank too much. I can't stand living like this anymore." said a Berserker, pondering his fate.

"Why don't you come with us. Next week we will go back to hunting monsters." said a Wizard from the GOW alliance who sat at the same table as him.

"Monster, huh...? I'm so jealous of you guys who are still so eager to go hunting, even though you know that your life will be at stake. You sound like a true adventurer. Whereas I... I'm just a coward who can only hide behind this safe fortress. " said the Berserker.

"At least you still want to work as an NPC bodyguard, unlike those who always shut themselves in the inn room." said the Wizard, encouraging his friend.

With his head leaning on the table, the Berserker was only staring at the beer glass in front of him.

In the Bae village.

After Shiro's departure from Bae village a few weeks ago, the village was quite often attacked by swarms of monsters. The Gentayangan Alliance which is tasked with guarding the village cooperates with 5,000 royal soldiers to repel all threats that come threatening.

Although there were quite a lot of victims who fell from the Mataram military, they were still eager to guard the village because the residents still refused the royal captain's offer to flee to the capital.

In front of one of the residents' houses, where members of the Gentayangan alliance lives, TukangSantet and his members are relaxing to enjoy a hot drink served by the residents.

Suddenly one of the royal soldiers came with a panicked face.

"What is wrong?" asked PenggaliKubur.

"Sir, something is approaching, and there are tens of thousands of them!" said the soldier in panic.

"Monster?!" asked TukangSantet.

"I'm not sure, sir."

"All right. Tell the citizens to hide inside the house, and gather all the soldiers behind the village gate!"

"Hey, leader! They are not monsters!! Hurry up and open the gate!" shouted one of the member of Gentayangan alliance who was watching from the top of the tower.

"Not a Monster?" TukangSantet asked curiously. He turned to PenggaliKubur and then said, "Alright, open the gate!"

When the soldiers opened the village gate, they were surprised to see a crowd of NPCs who looked very panicked running into the village.

"Are you the one who is guarding this village?" said one of the Warrior class Senshi who came along with the NPC mob.

"Right. What the hell happened?" asked TukangSantet.

"Hundreds of thousands of Goblins attacked the village we guarded, and they are all residents of Kirig and Dawe villages."

"No way! Kirig village alone has more than 50 thousand inhabitants, plus Dawe village... And their number is only this?" said Turi, surprised.

"You're a Wizard right?! If you don't want the Goblin troops to destroy this village, then hurry up and open a portal to the capital!" said another Senshi, a Ninja who had just come along with a group of villagers Kirig and Dawe.

"Al-Alright..." said a Wizard from the Gentayangan alliance.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, sir. But we will never leave this village no matter what happens." said Turi.

"Hoi, old fart! You don't know what is chasing us! If you are tired of life, you can stay here alone!" the Ninja snapped, feeling annoyed by Turi's words.

"B-But... If we allow this village to be destroyed by Goblin troops, then that will also have a bad impact for the entire Senshi." said Turi.

"Huh? What do you mean?!"

"I-I'm sorry. I can't say the reason..." Turi answered, a little doubtful.

"Me and some of my friends will stay here to help you. Maybe we will die if we stay here. Therefore, at least tell us what we are protecting in this village." said the Warrior who was standing in front of TukangSantet.

"Screw this village! If you want to stay here it's your right. But I beg you open the portal to the capital! I'll pay you whatever you want!" the Ninja exclaimed.

The young wizard from the Gentayangan alliance who was asked to open the portal could only be silent while looking at TukangSantet.

Meanwhile, TukangSantet who already knew how important the Bae village was hesitant to keep guarding the village. Because hundreds of thousands of Goblin troops are not enemies they can defeat.

"What do you think?" asked TukangSantet to PenggaliKubur.

"Hey hey... You are our leader. Don't ask me that. Take it easy, we will always follow the decisions you'll make. But I think we do need to move the citizens back to the capital. Because we cannot fight while protecting this many people."

"Can't we ask for help from another Senshi in the capital?" asked the Warrior.

"Do you think anyone would volunteer for a suicide mission??" answered PenggaliKubur.

"Tch! Hurry up!" exclaimed the Ninja, looking impatient.

TukangSantet paused for a moment, thinking about what they should do in this urgent situation.

"Please, sir. Don't let this village be destroyed. We will help fight the Goblin army." said Turi, pleading to TukangSantet.

Seeing Turi's enthusiasm, TukangSantet did not have the heart to let the royal soldiers and the villagers fight the Goblin troops alone. He finally decided to stay and keep guarding Bae village.

"Open the portal and send the refugees to the capital!" TukangSantet shouted to the members of his alliance. He then tapped PenggaliKubur on the shoulder and said, "Come with them. Invite our other members and ask the big alliances to help us here."

"Leave it to me!" PenggaliKubur exclaimed excitedly.

In that way, PenggaliKubur led the escort of Kirig and Dawe villages to the capital.

Meanwhile, Ana looks pensive on the front porch of her house. She looked up at the stars in the sky, and hoping that Shiro was fine.
