Immediately, Ragnar ran back to the rendezvous point decided by the team. Sam and Julius had already arrived, seemingly having failed to find anything. Upon seeing Ragnar's panicked expression, they both became serious.
"Did you find them?" Sam asked.
Ragnar nodded and calmed himself. "They built a settlement one mile ahead in that direction. They number around 200, and they have a giant goblin commanding them. It's not the normal Goblin King but looks different—bigger, more vicious, and stronger. I saw bones crushed on the ground; he is likely close to rank 2."
"What! 200? Holy shit!" Julius exclaimed at the sheer numbers.
"Let's go back and fill Anya in," Sam suggested.
Ragnar and Julius nodded.
At the village, Anya was helping the villagers with heavy lifting for the reparations. Upon seeing her team returning from scouting with serious expressions, she went to them and was informed about the goblins' nest. She frowned upon hearing the bad news.
