"Damn it! These monsters are actually counterattacking the novice village!"
The villagers of Yamaguchi were dumbfounded, their voices eerily resembling a high-pitched girl's, as if a little girl was being choked by an iron hand.
Although this is a real world, damn it, that god threw them here, and there's a big boss nearby as well.
Now the big boss wants to lead the monsters to attack their novice village, isn't that a bit too much!?
[Notice: Monster siege in progress]
[Novice village protection activated, scanning current novice village as level one, protection level increased...]
[All monster attributes reduced by 50% upon entering the novice village]
The system's red alert flashed before their eyes, accompanied by numerous system pop-ups.
Yamaguchi villagers immediately felt a surge of joy.
What does it mean to provide timely help in a crisis?
That god is really benevolent. It seems this "game" is fair after all, not leaving the players so passive. After all, they are invaders, and if they had no trump card, what kind of invaders would they be?
"Now we have no worries! Let those monsters come in, and we'll fight them with all our might!"
Yamaguchi villagers were jubilant, spitting as they spoke.
They couldn't wait to see these monsters enter roughly!
"Everyone! Gather at the village entrance and show those damn beasts the courage of our Emperor's warriors!"
In fact, there was no need for Yamaguchi villagers to issue orders.
Players on Sakura Island No. 1 Novice Village had already gathered at the village entrance, wearing their novice linen clothes.
They grinned and laughed, looking at the approaching monster army without any fear.
Above their heads, a faint red light screen appeared, enveloping the entire novice village. This thing, like a bra, was their confidence.
The monster army drew closer, and the clouds above seemed to move with them, the wind howling, the sky gradually darkening, and the monsters' scarlet eyes becoming more prominent.
Sturdy bodies, huffing and puffing sounds of breathing, heavy footsteps pounding like they were on the players' hearts.
It made them restrain their smiles and breathe heavily.
Even with a 50% reduction, can they really defeat these monsters?
Sakura Island players couldn't help but question themselves.
And at this moment, the monster army suddenly stopped.
Less than two hundred meters from the novice village.
Players with bodies improved by magic and fighting spirit could clearly see the saliva-covered fangs of the gnolls and the cold gleaming iron claws.
[Strong·Brutal·Gnoll Leader (Dragon Ancestry Erosion)]
[Strong·Cunning·Kobold Leader (Dragon Ancestry Erosion)]
[Mighty·Powerful·Fireflame Rabbit Leader (Dragon Ancestry Erosion)]
The monster leaders stood at the forefront of the monster army, with Grey Wolf leading in a triangular formation.
Other monster leaders didn't come; their task was to protect the safety of the dragon's nest under the leadership of Bird Demon Leader Ji Taimei.
"Begin, set traps."
Grey Wolf turned his head and whispered orders to Bolikri, simultaneously signaling the elite gnolls around him.
Then, in the sight of Sakura Island players, these monsters quickly sprang into action.
Grey Brother and Banana Wolf, along with elite gnolls, led ordinary gnolls and Fireflame Rabbits to completely surround the novice village, forming a three-layered monster wall.
And between the monster walls, where players couldn't see, kobolds began digging tunnels and setting traps under Bolikri's leadership.
"What are these monsters trying to do? Surround us and starve us?"
Yamaguchi villagers muttered to themselves, watching the strange actions of the monsters while pondering.
Could these monsters know the protection mechanism of the novice village?
It shouldn't be. This protection mechanism was just triggered; how could these monsters know? The faint red light screen could only be seen by players.
But anyway, luring these monsters into the novice village is the best way to deal with them.
Now these monsters no longer have the terrain advantage of Silvermoon Forest, nor do they have the weapon of Flame Arrow Tower, and that terrifying black dragon didn't come along...
Because of the dragon's arrogant nature, it only sent its subordinate monsters?
This is an opportunity!
Yamaguchi villagers' eyes flashed, and they couldn't help but smirk inwardly.
Foolish black dragon, you will pay dearly for your arrogance.
With this thought, Yamaguchi villagers glanced at Moriyama Norihito, deciding to give his loyal subordinate a chance to make a contribution.
"Norihito-kun, do you have any way to anger these monsters and make them attack the novice village recklessly?"
Moriyama Norihito was slightly taken aback by the words, lowered his head in thought for a moment, recalling the various behaviors of these monsters, his eyes lit up, and he bowed ninety degrees, answering:
"Master, these monsters can understand the common language of the continent, especially gnolls and kobolds."
"So we can anger them into attacking the novice village by insulting them."
"And according to the intelligence transmitted by those captured by monsters, these monsters particularly love potatoes, although those guys have lost contact for some reason."
After speaking, Moriyama Norihito respectfully lowered his head, waiting for Yamaguchi villagers' orders.
"Good, your suggestion is very good!"
Yamaguchi villagers were very pleased, smiling and patting Moriyama Norihito on the shoulder.
"Just do as you said, insult them using our profound Sakura language."
"They like potatoes, so bring out some potatoes and stomp them in front of them!"
"Yes!"
...
A moment later, Grey Wolf and other monsters standing outside the novice village noticed three humans suddenly walking out of the human village.
But they didn't get too close; they stopped about a hundred meters from the monster army.
"Can you hear us, monsters in the distance?"
"You damn monsters, are you afraid? Dare to come in and fight us?"
The unique tongue-clicking sound of Sakura players echoed sharply across the silent plain.
The monsters twitched their ears and frowned.
They couldn't understand, but they were irritated.
"How dare they?"
"Just a bunch of trash monsters!"
"The ultimate fate of these monsters is to be skinned and dismembered, their parts sold as materials, their flesh becoming our food, and finally excreted by us!"
"Hee hee hee..."
...
Sakura Island players kept spewing meaningless trash talk, but all the monsters remained quiet like sculptures, just looking at them with eyes as if they were looking at bugs.
"Damn it! These monsters don't seem to care about our insults..."
"It seems we can only use that trick!"
The three Sakura Island players exchanged glances, took out a handful of potatoes from their backpacks, and threw them to the ground with a "pop," then stomped on them.
"Don't you like potatoes? We have plenty, and we're just stomping on them, does it piss you off?"
"Whoosh—"
The wind swept past.
Warm raindrops fell on a player's face.
No, those weren't raindrops.
It was splattered blood.
He turned his head blankly, only to see his companion with knives stuck in his forehead and neck.
His HP emptied at a visible speed, and with a "thud," he fell straight down.
Grey Wolf wiped his claws on his shorts, suppressing the restless monsters around him.
"Master said, small patience leads to big plans."
"When faced with small matters, no need to endure, when faced with big matters, a chaotic fight is the best strategy!"
"But, the master's order is to wait for humans to come out, so, Banana Wolf!"
Banana Wolf immediately understood, hurriedly taking a large leather bag from behind, and with a "plop," threw it to the ground.
Opening the bag, a foul stench rose to the sky.
Inside was a full bag of Stinky Bug Dung. """
