Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!
Chapter 187: D68. Hair as White as Snow_3

Chapter 187: D68. Hair as White as Snow_3

The Hero and the Gleaming Scale Serpent were startled from their thoughts, stepping aside with surprise as the tall, yet weatherworn Chocobo charged straight towards the military camp.

Even though it was just a fleeting glance, that Chocobo wasn’t just tall; its feather color was—

1. Golden Yellow

2. Jet Black♛

D2=d2(2)=2

Completely jet black, it was no slower than the two Chocobos blessed by the Phoenix, yet it ran lightly and silently, its movements crisp and efficient.

The Scout on its back was also well-equipped and urgently braked at the gate with a solemn expression.

"I have emergency intelligence!"

He flashed his credentials to the soldier on guard, making the soldier’s expression turn serious as he quickly opened the gate.

As the gate opened, the Scout and the Chocobo vanished from sight, leaving the Hero and the Serpent behind them. The Hero stepped forward.

"Girl, this isn’t a place for your excursions— Count’s Black Card!?"

Under the soldiers’ respectful welcome, the Hero awkwardly followed them into the military camp.

[What intelligence did the Scout bring?]

1. Anomalies have appeared in the nearby mine.

2. A village was wiped out in its sleep.

3. A village is shrouded in a Nightmare.

4. Sightings of a White Big Snake were reported(?)

5. A surge of unusually violent Magic Element has emerged.

6. Suspected signs of a large Magic Creature moving.

7. A large number of Goblin corpses were found in the forest.

8. The forest is dying, and the graveyards in nearby villages are reanimating skeletons.

9. Multiple Goblin groups have formed a coalition and are harassing villages.

10. Critical Success♛/Extreme Failure

D10=d10(10)=10

D2=d2(1)=1

Note: Extreme Failure means a good death, while Critical Success is relatively safe.

Like a phantom in the night, the jet-black Chocobo spread its wings, which were significantly larger than those of a typical Chocobo, and sprinted onward.

Chocobos, as their name suggests, originally had wings that had long since degenerated, gaining instead powerful legs suited for running on roads.

However, this Chocobo with black feathers seemed not to have lost the ability to fly, gliding into the camp as if flying at low altitude.

When its feet touched the ground, although its body wasn’t exactly light, it landed as noiselessly as a feather, leaving no trace behind.

The valor of the Scout, owning such a rare Chocobo as his mount, was evident.

As the Hero displayed the Count’s Black Card and easily followed to the camp’s center, from what seemed to be a command room came the Scout’s loud and urgent report—

[The Scout’s intelligence was a Critical Success!]

1. The Goblin Champion is assembling troops.

2. A Demon Spider nest appeared in the mines.

3. Miners discovered hidden ruins.

4. The source of a violent Magic Element was located before it spread.

5. Giant birds are trying to nest near the city♛

6. The cocoon of a giant Magic Creature was found incubating.

7. A Legendary Monk discovered the Nightmare’s nest.

8. A Cultist hideout connected to Magic Creatures was discovered.

9. The forest seems to have undergone a transformation due to Magic Creatures.

10. Critical Success/Extreme Failure

D10=d10(5)=5

→☆→☆→☆→✧←★←★←★←

"Is the intelligence accurate?"

Even though the Sergeant had no doubt that this outstanding Scout of the army wouldn’t err, he couldn’t help but confirm.

"Yes."

The dust-covered Scout still bore signs of fatigue on his face, but he nodded briskly without hesitation.

"The Magic Creature has already seized—"

1. The Snow Mountain

2. The Lonely Mountain

3. The Ruined City

4. The Highland♛

5. The Giant Sequoia Forest

6. The Demon Barrier Valley

7. The Frost Formation Lake

8. The Molten Lava Volcano

9. The Sky Island

10. Critical Success/Extreme Failure

D10=d10(4)=4

[Magic Creature’s Friendliness (Creatures -20, Egg-hatching period -20)]

D60=d60(48)=48

"And moreover..."

As he was about to continue, the Scout suddenly raised his head, as if his gaze penetrated the walls to look at the Hero outside.

"The lovely young lady out there, since you passed through security, you’re probably not an outsider. Why not come in and listen?"

Several soldiers seemed to sense something and looked at the Hero, as if the walls couldn’t block their sight.

Under this palpable scrutiny, the Hero awkwardly pushed the door open.

She held the Count’s Black Card tightly in her hand and saluted the soldiers nervously.

While this was a military camp within the city, the border front line and city defense were part of a two-sided rotation system.

The soldiers here were not ordinary guards, and those who became Sergeants, even if not Nobles, nearly all possessed Military Merit.

Yes, just like her father.

Thus, even though several soldiers lowered their guard upon seeing the Black Card in her hand, she politely introduced herself.

"Um, I’m the Hero introduced by the Count for a visit. Is there anything I can help with?"

Watching the soldiers’ expressions quietly, she added a line on paper.

"If it’s Goblin hunting, that would be best."

[The Magic Creature’s nesting point is to the (north-east-south-west) of the Border city—]

D36=d36(29)=29

The Count had exceptional prestige on this border, and his Black Card naturally held strong influence.

The varied but accepting expressions of the soldiers towards the Hero eavesdropping illustrated this.

Understandably, though this wasn’t classified information, it was, after all, a military meeting, and not just anyone could casually enter, not even Nobles.

Having an unfamiliar girl they met for the first time join in, taking notes diligently on the side, filled these disciplined soldiers with a sense of absurdity.

But, regardless, the focus now was not on this white-haired Miss Hero.

"The Western Plateau, huh, that’s a bit tricky." The lead Sergeant pondered slightly.
