My mod ruined the otherworldly art style.

Listening to the information shared by the blind man

The second-in-command frowned.

He had never heard of colored labels before, but they were certainly more expensive than gray, white, or green ones.

If we analyze it this way,

Even if the enemy before them is just a level 2 elite cute creature,

Their strength is certainly not to be underestimated.

Even with his level 6 warrior skills, it's uncertain whether he can safely escape with his two subordinates.

My heart is filled with all sorts of worries.

He subtly made a few hand gestures, signaling to the fragile blind man to escape first.

But before they could make any other moves...

Dorothy, who was pretending to be arrogant, just snorted coldly.

"Hmph~! Is this my queen's territory a dessert shop where you can come and go as you please?"

Her voice was sweet and crisp, yet carried an undeniable air of command.

"Since you're here, stay and be my...snack intelligence officer, Doro!"

This statement stunned everyone present.

The goblins looked at each other in bewilderment.

One of the bolder ones stepped forward, scratching his head and whispering a reminder:

"Your Majesty...didn't you say before that humans should all be used as mushroom culture media?"

"Shut up!" Dorothy stamped her foot, her face slightly flushed.

"Can't I change my mind? Do you have to tell me what to do?"

Another goblin hesitated before raising his hand:

"Then...can we touch human males? You only forbid touching females..."

"That's right!" several goblins immediately echoed.

"We could study the anatomy of human males!"

"Let's verify the truth Her Majesty said—that 'deer can also reproduce'—and see if it applies to human men!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Maybe they can breed green-skinned cubs with beards!"

The second-in-command and the blind man turned deathly pale upon hearing this conversation.

An axe almost slipped from his hand.

An arrow shot crookedly into the sky.

Only the hard-of-hearing blind man asked with a puzzled expression:

"Huh? What are they talking about? Are they going to make us mushroom soup?"

Dorothy was so angry at her subordinates' nonsense that she jumped up and down.

The pink short hair all stood on end:

"Shut up, all of you! What I want is intelligence, not... not your filthy thoughts!"

She turned and pointed at the three bandits, trying her best to put on her most ferocious expression.

"The three of you! From this day forward, you are my subjects!"

"What? Subordinate? Or a demon's subordinate?"

The second-in-command was completely bewildered and didn't react for a moment.

"Yes! He's the subordinate in charge of collecting the best snacks in the whole city!"

Dorothy puffed out her chest triumphantly, lowered her voice, and gave a sweet smile.

"If you don't work properly..."

"I'll make these idiots study your 'reproductive potential' in a hundred different ways, Doro!"

The goblins immediately cheered excitedly and all raised their pickaxes:

"Oh oh oh oh~, research! Research! Reproduction! Reproduction......."

The shouts that rose and fell turned the three bandits' faces from white to green.

Even the hard-of-hearing blind man could understand what was said.

"Honey, are they trying to study my butt? That's so perverted!"

"When did goblins develop this hobby?"

The blind man's question went unanswered.

The system notifications, invisible to outsiders, revealed their current mood.

[Ding! The bandit trio's emotions, including "extreme fear, worldview collapse, and physiological trembling," have increased by 25 and are converted into 0.5 Creation Power.]

With the arrival of new creative power,

Lu Chen, sitting calmly on the sidelines, was overjoyed.

While I sympathize with the bandits' plight, there's an old saying that goes something like this:

What goes around comes around.

Since you've chosen this line of work, don't complain about anything that happens.

I just hope it's not too awful in the end, otherwise he won't dare to steal screens again.

The atmosphere here gradually became heavy and anxious.

The second-in-command's palms were covered in sweat.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked up and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you want me to be your subordinate, you little brat? Well, let's see if you have the ability."

"We're not so easy to catch."

He had barely finished speaking when he grabbed the blind man beside him by the collar, his arm veins bulging.

With all his might, he threw his thin, weak companion out.

The blind man in the air was only momentarily stunned.

They already understood the second-in-command's purpose.

As an assassin scout, with his stealth broken and attacked by hordes of monsters,

This will undoubtedly become the team's biggest weakness.

So in order not to hold anyone back, he needed to go to Hawkeye's side.

While protecting the enemy from close-range attacks, they also cover the leader's retreat.

With this idea in mind,

The blind man turned around in mid-air, intending to use the trees to cushion the impact and dissipate the force.

But before his feet could even touch the tree,

A pink afterimage arrived first,

They caught up with the blind man who was flying backwards at an incredible speed.

"Hey~, where are you going, subordinate number two?"

Dorothy's sudden appearance startled the blind man.

His previously graceful act of stepping on the tree froze.

The legs, which had been together, suddenly parted and slammed into the tree with unstoppable force.

It made a dull thud, like an egg breaking.

"Uh...uh...uh...uh......."

The blind man, his expression now a mask of pain, remained silent for a long time.

He could only let his body slide down the tree.

He lay on the ground trembling violently, clearly incapacitated.

"Huh? What's wrong? What's wrong?"

What exactly happened to the blind man?

Anxious eagle eyes, gleaming with wisdom,

While using sound to locate and snipe the approaching goblins,

He inquired about the second-in-command who was fighting hard.

Faced with this question, the bald man didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He looked at his subordinates who were groaning in pain.

He explained it with great sadness:

"Don't ask anymore. A blind person probably can't be a brother anymore, only a sister."

"It looks like we'll have to visit his favorite Nightingale, number 9, more often."

"Hiss~, that's terrible!?" Hawkeye gasped.

His fingers trembled slightly on the bowstring, and the second-in-command's words still echoed in his ears.

As a marksman who relies on sound to locate enemies...

Although he couldn't see exactly what happened,

But the dull thud and the blind man's painful groan as he fell to the ground...

A chilling image had already formed in his mind.

"Master..." Hawkeye's Adam's apple bobbed, as if he wanted to say something.

But it was interrupted by the second-in-command's roar:

"Alright, enough with the nonsense."

"When the time is right, I'll go and meet that little one first."

As he spoke, the bald man strode forward, knocking down many goblins along the way.

Just then, they saw Dorothy squatting in front of the blind man.

He rubbed the other person's body back and forth with the buzzing rod in his hand.

"Hey~ Stop pretending to be dead! You're my newly recruited special advisor!"

"If you keep pretending to faint... then you'll be the one to personally experience the mushroom culture medium recipe tonight, Doro!"

No matter how Dorothy manipulated the blind man whose eyes rolled back and who was foaming at the mouth.

The other party did not react at all.

He had clearly fainted from the pain.

"Hey, little one, come here, let's have a 300-round battle with your grandpa!"

The second-in-command, with a ferocious expression, resembled a wild bull.

It surged forward with unstoppable momentum.

He successfully caught Dorothy's attention.

She only glanced at it, and the card reader's body moved.

With the ability gained from perfect evasion, he easily avoided the opponent's brutal charge.

As an elite monster, she knew exactly where her strengths lay.

The humans opposite are clearly of a higher level than themselves.

A head-on confrontation is not a wise move.

Using one's abilities to engage in prolonged combat is the best strategy.

Just as Dorothy was dodging, the second-in-command's eyes lit up.

As a seasoned bandit, he also had extensive combat experience.

On the surface, it appears to be launching a reckless charge.

In reality, it was a feint to the east while attacking the west.

Create an opportunity to escape.

"Now, Hawkeye, cover me!!!"
