Chapter 416: Chapter 229: Sometimes by just hanging in there, you can also achieve victory_2
After all, if they weren’t using the beastmen as cannon fodder, waiting patiently inside the city, why were only the beastmen charging to the forefront?
Back to the main point.
The beastmen had killed quite a few middle-level demon beasts, and occasionally, some professionals would come out to kill middle-level demon beasts too.
He knew it must be because the people from Hope Village decided that killing middle-level demon beasts was more worthwhile.
Thinking this, Aiden dared not speak, as his own Lord was currently furious. The Lord was a person who made decisions alone, and it wouldn’t be good if he took out his anger on Aiden!
It was at this time that suddenly, from Hope Village, which previously had only beastmen and a handful of humans, a considerable number of people emerged. Looking closely, it turned out to be the soldiers and professionals who had been conserving their strength inside.
Clearly, after an afternoon of rest, their energy had fully recovered. They fought the magic beasts with unmatched bravery, throwing magic spells in a dazzling display that quickly pushed the front lines away from the city walls.
There was a faintly visible energy and excitement on their faces as they faced the horde of magic beasts.
At this moment, it seemed as though they truly unleashed their nature.
With the crisis of a breach nonexistent, the magic beasts represented wealth to them.
And now, they were the ones giving away this wealth.
Wolf: "..."
Aiden: "..."
After a while, Aiden couldn’t help himself, "Lord, perhaps we should just let it go! The magic beasts in your magic scroll are far more valuable than theirs."
Listening, Wolf pursed his lips and said nothing, but the magic scroll that appeared in his hand clearly showed his stance.
The magic scroll unfolded once again.
As it unfolded, the same glow sparkled, and then the magic beasts that were furiously attacking Hope Village turned and ran back into the magic scroll.
In no time at all, the magic beasts at the scene had vanished without a trace.
After the magic beasts had disappeared, the people from Hope Village became visible.
Across a large expanse of empty land, the two sides looked at each other from a distance, like a destined confrontation.
**
At this time, on the side of Hope Village.
Zhou Bai’s eyes showed a hint of regret.
With the triple boost from the middle-level demon beasts, upgrading was much faster.
In the territory near their village, even though it was now a level 3 village, there wouldn’t be many middle-level demon beasts in the future, so naturally, she wanted to seize this opportunity.
In the successive moments just now, she had killed several middle-level demon beasts, and her experience points soared, nearly more than halfway to level 16.
Before she could take advantage of this opportunity to continue her rush to upgrade, the other side had taken all the magic beasts away.
However, she clearly understood that the likely reason for them taking the magic beasts away was to retreat.
Indeed, a "great" territory! They knew when to engage and when to let go!
Only this time, they had greatly offended the other side.
This surprise battle had been to their advantage, and it was uncertain if they would have such an opportunity again.
As she thought this, Zhou Bai’s gaze met Wolf’s sharp eyes.
Indeed, in the crowd, Wolf, the Lord, had accurately identified Zhou Bai with his intuition.
Of course, his intuition was also based on his observations, because even though Zhou Bai fought alone, the soldiers of Hope Village seemed to naturally guard around him without any trace, and the team of professionals, even though they didn’t protect Zhou Bai, instinctively avoided her combat circle so as not to take her prey.
Such an existence must hold a significant position in Hope Village.
It was even possible that she was... the Lord.
At this moment, Zhou Bai meeting Wolf’s gaze was slightly startled, but she appeared calm and openly looked back at him, her lips curving slightly upwards.
Wolf saw Zhou Bai’s smile and his own lips involuntarily twitched.
Courageous! She dared to challenge him!
Hope Village, he would remember.
This woman, he would remember too.
This time he cut his losses in time, but the next time he had the chance, he would certainly... not let them off so easily.
Just that the next time, it would likely be a very long while.
This defeat, having used an important trump card, that God would not let him off easily.
Thinking this, Wolf felt like his heart was frying in oil, unbearably tight.
He truly hadn’t expected to encounter his Waterloo in Hope Village.
Finally, after greatly forcing himself, he squeezed out two words, "Retreat!"
