Expeditionary Force (Episode)

"Expeditionary Force" is the eighteenth episode of the Log Horizon anime. It aired on February 1, 2014.

Synopsis
Upon arriving in Akihabara, Rayneshia can't help but marvel at the different culture of the city. Shiroe and Krusty organize a meeting in the middle of the city, drawing hundreds of Adventurers. Wasting no time, Shiroe stirs the crowds with the threat the goblin army poses to the League of Freedom Cities Eastal. After presenting the option that the Adventurers do not have to act, Shiroe introduces Rayneshia who makes a heartfelt plea for the Adventurers to aid her in defending Eastal.

Heeding Rayneshia's words, the Adventurers rally behind her with Krusty and Shiroe issuing the expedition to defeat the goblins as a quest from the Round Table. Krusty then takes almost half of the Adventurers, along with Rayneshia, to the Narashino Port while Shiroe heads to the Midraunt Equestrian Park to set up battle headquarters. In the meantime, Duke Serjiad Corwen meets with Michitaka and Henrietta to explain the developing rift between the League and the Corwen family thanks to Rayneshia's actions and the power difference between the Landers and the Adventurers, although they decide to wait for a solution from Shiroe. Elsewhere, as Rayneshia ponders on the consequences of her actions, the training group makes a stand against the goblins at Choushi. Finally, after Krusty and Takayama Misa divide the Adventurers into raiding parties, Krusty issues them the single order to kill all goblins.
