Full Summary
After tying together wooden pikes to make a fence segment, the adventurer heads outside to check on the harvest, which a villager told him would finish by the following noon. The villager remarks that it was better than five years ago during the war, which the adventurer concurs with. However, he states that only villages adventurers went to survived back then, to which the adventurer assures him he would do everything he can. Meanwhile, various other adventurers, including Spearman, Heavy Warrior, and the young warrior prepare themselves to slay the rock eater within.

While constructing the fence around the village, the adventurer thinks of the most efficient way to kill the goblins, but shakes off the thought to focus on building the fence. After completing it so it went around the village, the adventurer kicks open a gap and decides this would do. At the same time, the adventurers in the mine are led by a steel-ranked scout. The rock eater lunges at the scout and eats him, before confronting the rest of the adventurers.

With the weather turning to rain, the group of wandering goblins advance toward the village, but several are caught and killed by the adventurer's various traps. When the goblins finally reach the hole left in the fence, the adventurer kills the foremost goblin before declaring he will kill all the goblins.
