The party heads toward Radodorbo, a village far to the west, to complete the latest stage of their quest. However, Shindou is captured by bandits on the way. Tokitate and Hakozaki want to save her, but Yotsuya just wants to hurry on, so the three of them end up parting ways. Yotsuya then enters a martial arts tournament in Cortonel in hopes of winning some horses they can use, and there, he meets a woman knight named Kahvel.

Yotsuya has succeeded in saving the other party members with Kahvel’s help. Kahvel agrees to accompany them to Radodorbo if they’ll allow her to train them in swordsmanship, since they are the players and therefore can’t die. They encounter a village of goblins on the way and engage them in battle. Hakozaki, who only slowed everyone down in battle before due to her lack of strength and resignation, finally finds her resolve and manages to slay a goblin on her own.

After becoming a Blacksmith, Yotsuya developed two new tactical weapons to use against the orcs: the Storc for close-range combat and the Orc Eater for shooting from a distance. Although they successfully use these to fight off the orcs attacking the stronghold, the orcs learn how to throw projectiles by observing the long-range weapon. Both the humans and the orcs have suffered substantial damages as the battle enters its final stages.

Cox, who had achieved peace in the village by closing it off and reducing the number of mouths to feed, attempts to get rid of the heroes, but then a monster's voice resounds throughout the village. Yotsuya and the villagers are powerless as a multitude of monsters swarms the village, as if under someone's control. After determining that it would be impossible to defend against the monsters' attack, they decide to flee the village.
