The three of us are the adventurer squad tasked with clearing out the goblins here.\" Gauss promptly stated his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon revealing his identity, the young villager holding the lance sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face quickly turned to one of surprise and delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent days, he had been guarding this area, wary of goblins launching a large-scale attack on nearby villages at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At any sign of an \"army on the move,\" he would quickly relay the information to other villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending several days on edge, actual adventurers who could solve the problem had finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he carried weapons himself, he could only take on the role of a scout; single-handedly confronting goblins was far beyond his abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of over thirty goblins was a considerable threat, needing a coordinated, experienced adventurer squad to successfully combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this squad in front of him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze lingered on Gauss and his companions’ equipment, suddenly catching sight of the adventure badges indicating their rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caliber of a team would accept a commission for just 20 silver coins?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t believe it at first, then an exuberant joy spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No issues now; it truly will be problem-free!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he couldn’t fathom the reasons, in his understanding, even moving a single one of them ought to cost far more than 20 silver coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with such a professional squad, and not rookies either, eradicating those goblins would be a sure thing, with no chance of mishap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, esteemed adventurers, I am from Linjian Village.\" The young villager respectfully replied. \"Today, I’m here as a scout.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could you point us in the direction of the Goblin Tribe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With someone to inquire, Gauss could save some effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you allow me to lead you there?\" The young villager said, suppressing both fear and excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it been an ordinary bottom adventurer squad, he wouldn’t have made such an offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have been too risky and might trouble the adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with these individuals present, he knew that the little green skins couldn’t harm them.
