“Just how many are they?”
“Did all the kobolds in the mountains come all at once?”
The Players’ faces fell as they started to prepare for battle Seo Jun-Ho glanced over the hill, checking the kobolds
‘They’re not blood kobolds’
The ones rushi+ng toward them were just normal ones; the kind that Players and Adventurers could easily kill
