I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 757 - 379: Invasion War_4

In addition, their complete equipment and iron armor visually made quite an impact.

In short, the lineup from Hope Village exceeded Wolf’s imagination.

It also made Wolf realize one thing, Hope Village did not come with good intentions.

Beside Wolf, Aiden also realized this and softly reminded him near his ear, "This lineup from Hope Village doesn’t just seem intent on winning a territory war, it looks more like..."

—Invasion.

Aiden did not say the word, but how could Fasal Village, an aggressive territory, not know!

Upon this realization, Wolf’s face unwittingly darkened.

As the saying goes, ’what goes around comes around’; was it now their turn to be invaded?

This feeling was truly damn uncomfortable.

"Go assemble the troops, prepare to fight," Wolf instructed Aiden.

To invade Fasal Village, one has to see if Hope Village has the capability.

Hearing the command, Aiden paused, "How many people?"

The lineup from Hope Village seemed to consist of several thousand people, even though not all were combat personnel, it was still a significant challenge for Fasal Village.

If they were too few in direct combat, wouldn’t they be crushed?

"There are some slaves in the territory that haven’t been sold yet, draw a thousand of them for a frontal assault, and also bring out two thousand soldiers from the military camp; with us coordinating from above, we should be able to hold the line," Wolf directly said, "We need to fight to gauge Hope Village’s tactics and build our strategy for future battles."

Wolf had rich experience in siege combat, though now it was about defending, some insights could still be gained.

For now, Wolf wasn’t panicked about Hope Village’s impending attack; what mattered to him was his own dignity being challenged.

Thus, all he thought about was giving Hope Village a harsh lesson and, by the way, avenging past humiliations by taking back what had been taken from him by Hope Village.

Aiden listened, his expression was somewhat strange.

Slaves, huh!

He hadn’t forgotten that during the last attack on Hope Village, those slaves, except for the ones who had originally died, had all been taken in by Hope Village and had been of no use.

"Last time we also used slaves..." Aiden reminded him.

Hearing this, Wolf thought about it, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he directly said, "Place some of our men among them and have them surrender at the right time. The last time, Hope Village was the defender and the slaves were of no use, but now Hope Village is the attacker. Oh, and tell those slaves that if they survive on the battlefield, they can immediately become residents, and killing one person will earn them soldier status."

At that time, the slaves, striving for their freedom, wouldn’t they attack frantically? That would make it look even more genuine!

"Yes," Aiden nodded.

Hope Village, famously kind and respectful of life, would surely agree to the surrender of slaves.

Immediately, Aiden began to muster the troops.

Already prepared for a territory war, he quickly organized a force and left the city gate.

And as they just went out, Zhou Bai and his group were now only a short distance from the city gate.

At the forefront, Zhou Bai stopped. He looked towards Bayer.

Bayer understood and took the flag symbolizing Hope Village from a soldier beside him and thrust it into the air.

With a whistle sound, the front row of cavalry started wildly toward the city gate of Fasal Village, followed closely by the shield soldiers.

Upon seeing this, Wolf immediately commanded the archers on the city walls to fire at the cavalry.

A hint of disdain could still be seen in his eyes.

A cavalry charge was effective in head-on combat, but charging when the armies were not yet engaged just turned them into cannon fodder.

Regardless of what Hope Village’s intentions were, it was paramount to eliminate a portion of their forces first.

Upon seeing the preparation for an arrow attack from atop the walls, Aiden led his team to slow down their charge.

This effectively gave the archers an opportunity to strike.

But suddenly, a bizarre scene unfolded on the field.

Following behind the cavalry, the Shield Soldier Team not only overtook the cavalry but also promptly set up rows of shields, formed in two layers, creating a defensive low wall.

After the wall was formed, the whole team continued to advance.

And while they advanced, the arrows originally aimed at the cavalry bounced off the shields and fell to the ground.

Caught off guard by the scene, neither Wolf nor Aiden and their men could react in time.

By the time they grasped the situation, the Shield Soldier Team had already entered the safety perimeter set up at Fasal Village’s city gate.

This was too close!

Realizing this, Wolf immediately launched a second wave of attacks, ordering Aiden to charge.

Aiden, too, promptly led a charge with slaves and soldiers, planning a dual attack—one targeting the cavalry behind the shields and the other storming Hope Village’s Shield Soldiers to breach their defense.

But Hope Village, well-prepared as they were, would not let this excellent opportunity slip.

Two squads swiftly moved forward and unfolded a magic scroll in their hands.

At the moment the magic scrolls were opened, two massive creatures plummeted right before the core battle division of the Shield Soldiers.

Simultaneously, several catapults and crossbow carriages took position on both sides.

All these machines appeared in unison, making the ground near Fasal Village’s city gate tremble instantaneously.

Once the tremors subsided, it became clear that an attack line led by the two massive creatures, aided by other siege weapons and the shield wall built by the shields held by the Shield Soldiers, had been formed in front of Fasal Village’s gate.

The faster-running slaves, even a small number of them, were crushed into a pulp by the two massive figures, and those who weren’t crushed by these iron mountains were swiftly dealt with by the agile Shield Soldiers.

And the slower-running slaves and soldiers were stunned by this sudden development.

What on earth was this? They had never seen anything like it!

Most importantly, they emanated an unprecedented oppressive force, standing like walls before them.

They did not feel as if they were defending the city; instead, they felt as if they were besieging it, placed right at the most perilous position under the city walls.

A trace of fear, rooted in the unknown, rose in their hearts.

"No running away!" Aiden, sensing the surrounding fear, immediately dealt with a slave who attempted to run and shouted loudly.

He knew very well that Hope Village’s battle line had reached the city gate, they could not retreat!

Stunned by Aiden’s command, not only did the slaves not dare to flee, but the soldiers following Aiden also gritted their teeth and charged forward—well aware of the grim fate awaiting deserters in Fasal Village.

Meanwhile, as Aiden organized the attack, from Zhou Bai’s side, a thunderous "Charge" reverberated through the sky.
