Sneaking into the monster settlement was extremely dangerous. The risk of Rosalina being caught is very high. For this task, she needed to think of a way that could complete the mission without getting attention from the goblins.
"System, you know a good way?"
Rosalina asked the system window in front of her. But unfortunately the system does not respond. In another world, Theodore was already fast asleep in his bed. So Rosalina's message was completely ignored.
Did not see a response. Rosalina closed the system in annoyance. She had to figure out how to get in there by herself.
After thinking for half an hour. Rosalina managed to draw up a fairly mature plan. The risk remains, but not as high as barging in without a plan.
The woman immediately moved to execute her plan. She monitored several groups of goblins on patrol. Look for the one group with the lowest number of goblins.
When getting the ideal target, which is a group of five goblins. Rosalina immediately rushed forward stealthily.
When she arrives, she immediately ambushes by slashing her sword through the neck of one goblin who was at the very back of the line. Then, before the other four goblins calmed down from the shock and panic.
Rosalina activated the [Vertical Slash] skill, splitting one goblin into two. After that she jumped back to avoid the attack of one goblin that used a machete.
Successfully dodging, Rosalina immediately lunged while swinging her sword at the goblin's leg. Successfully cutting it, made the goblin lay down which was immediately stabbed to death by Rosalina's sword.
There were two goblins left. Both of them looked alert, shouting loudly as they drew their weapons at Rosalina.
The woman just smirked. She activated the [Run] skill, speeding up her movement. Parrying one goblin's attack, then decapitating its head in one smooth motion.
One left. Rosalina and the last goblin stared at each other. Before long, the goblin was running away.
Rosalina squinted, she lunged swiftly while swinging her sword. Cut off one of the goblin's hands. The goblin managed to escape, and Rosalina had no intention of chasing after it. It could even be said that the goblin's departure was part of the plan.
Rosalina smiled then glanced at the bodies of the goblins she had killed. She gathered the bodies in one place. Then stack it with dry logs and twigs. Then lit it with fire, so that a great fire blazed, sending black smoke into the sky.
The woman didn't stop there. She also went to several other areas around the settlement and burned the wood in there. One by one black smoke was seen billowing in various places.
After everything is done. Rosalina runs as fast as possible to the monster settlement but from a different direction from the goblin who escaped earlier.
After arriving a hundred meters before the settlement. Rosalina immediately climbed a tall and lush tree. Monitoring and hiding up there.
She looked at the movement of the goblins in the settlement that seemed to be getting busy.
The goblin that ran away before seemed to have reported a human adventurer attacking.
Two groups of goblins led by one Goblin Warrior and one Goblin Mage had gone to Rosalina's battleground earlier. Apart from that, there were several other groups that went to the place of the fire.
This made the number of goblins in the settlement reduced. It seemed that the presence of humans, especially adventurers, was a threat to them.
Watching all these movements made the smile on Rosalina's face grow even more. After feeling the security in the settlement has weakened. The woman jumped from the tree. Start moving and infiltrate the settlement.
Right now, of the monsters that Rosalina had to pay attention to, only one Goblin Warrior and One Goblin Mage that were still around in the residential area. The rest of the Hobgoblins had gone looking for the intruder, and the rest were just goblins looking panicked.
The Goblin Shaman was still in the cave. Even now, it still doesn't show itself.
Rosalina moved with light and quiet steps. Swerving to avoid the eyes of the monsters and then arriving at one of the houses where the villagers were held captive.
Rosalina moved to the back of the building, knocked lightly on the window, after seeing that someone had noticed her arrival. The woman signaled the man to be quiet.
The woman then slid the paper she had written earlier into the window gap. Contains instructions for the next two days, regarding the water and the rescue mission.
Rosalina did this also for other houses where the villagers were held.
She could see the joy in the faces of the villagers. It was as if a hope had appeared before them.
Rosalina asked them to suppress their expression. Not letting the monsters out there get suspicious.
After successfully visiting all the places of the victims who were caught. The system gives a notification that the mission has been completed. This made Rosalina relieved, because it meant that no villagers were in the cave.
But when she thought about it, Rosalina immediately turned dark. Because remembering the three women that Lyra said were brought into the cave. The mission will succeed, if all the living villagers know about the water.
That means the three women...
'Damn it...'
Rosalina had no time to be gloomy. She immediately went to the corner of the settlement. Hiding behind tall bushes, then opened the notification that was in the corner of her eye.
Open the reward window, and confirm receipt of the gift.
As usual, the space split open and a white bucket with the words Cyanide popped out of the crack of the space.
'Now it's just a matter of putting this into the well.'
The woman thought. But before doing that, Rosalina took out one of her water bottles. The bottle of mineral water she got from the system. She drank the rest of the water in it, then filled about two hundred milliliters of Cyanide into it.
The bottle was then put back into the bag. And Rosalina rushed towards the well before the goblins returned.
She avoided every goblin lookout point in the settlement. Gradually approach the water source, then after the distance feels close enough. She ran, dumped the entire Cyanide in the bucket into the well, then escaped and hid.
"Haa… haa… haa… yosh, it worked."
Rosalina was a little surprised, because when she threw out the poison, the sound of the water crashing below was quite loud.
She thought the sound would attract the attention of the goblins. But luckily, only two goblins were looking. After the two goblins saw nothing in the direction of the well, they left.
Rosalina who was hiding behind the bushes breathed a sigh of relief. She gradually exited the settlement area. Aim to return to the planned meeting place.
Actually in the original plan, the spilling of poison into the well would be done after Lyra returned and gave water to the villagers.
But Rosalina improvised. Seeing the security of the settlement was weakened by the burning flames, she felt that such an opportunity would never happen again. So instead of returning after giving the message, she chose to directly pollute the water source with poison.
At least, the villagers already know that the water from the well is poisonous and will not drink it. Rosalina hopes that there will be no stupid people who still dare to drink the dangerous water.
Night came.
Rosalina was perched on top of a tree waiting for Lyra to arrive. During that waiting time, Rosalina couldn't help but smile.. Because happy things keep happening to her...
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
In less than six hours, her level has increased by five. The goblins in the settlement began to fall one by one from drinking poison.
What Rosalina didn't expect, it turned out that their deaths gave her experience.
'Oh God~ who would have thought that leveling up could be this easy. Hehehe...'
