Chapter 763: Chapter 382: If He Can’t Protect It, He’d Rather... Destroy It! _2

The territory had suffered heavy losses.

If it hadn’t been for the support from Lovisa City, Fasal Village’s ranking would have been unimaginable.

Thinking of Lovisa City, Wolf felt a pang of regret.

Had he not insisted on continuing the attack on Hope Village, Marquis Boyer would have given him the Diamond Level weaponry he desired. With Diamond Level weapons, the situation would have been different now.

Weapons below Diamond Level weren’t decisive in such a battlefield, especially since the Platinum Level weapons he had were all siege weapons.

As for personal use, there were one or two, but being only an Intermediate Professional, using weapons two levels above his own could instantly drain his Magic Power. It was basically a one-time use weapon. What good would that do?

Group attack Platinum and Diamond Level weapons were generally issued with some Magic Stones by Lord Boyer, which naturally could be used with the assistance of the Magic Stones.

This time, to teach him a lesson, Lord Boyer did not give him any, and just at that moment, Hope Village launched a fierce attack on Fasal Village.

In a month, just one month, Hope Village had grown to this extent, far beyond Wolf’s expectations.

A sense of panic inexplicably rose in his heart.

He felt that this time, Fasal Village was in danger.

No, he had to think of another way. He couldn’t just surrender without a fight.

At this moment, the residents of Fasal Village felt the same.

Seeing the information about the territory buying Stone, many residents felt a bit panicked.

"Why are they buying Stone? Does it mean our territory’s Soldiers can’t withstand Hope Village’s onslaught?"

"I just went to look at the city gate, it’s very chaotic. The fighting Soldiers keep changing; the situation might not be good."

"And a lot of people have just retreated suddenly from outside to the territory. I saw many of them severely injured, being taken to the Hospital."

"Being injured is still better; many Soldiers have died. There were some who had family members serving as Soldiers, and not seeing them, they were crying hysterically."

"Our Territory Soldiers already have a high death rate, but given the good benefits from the territory, even if someone dies, their family is taken care of. Those who go for these benefits must be prepared for death." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"But those were previously deaths during sieges, which involve charging forward into formation—death is normal. But this time, it happened right at our doorstep, don’t you find it odd?"

"Yeah! To be beaten this badly right at our doorstep, and now they’re buying Stone..."

"..."

The discussing crowd couldn’t help but fall silent.

This was an ominous premonition.

"Do any of you have Stone? If so, hurry and sell some to the territory! Every little bit helps, better than just sitting here sighing."

"Right, even a little sale helps the territory, and if the territory isn’t doing well, how can we residents be okay?"

"But can we decide the current situation?"

"We can’t decide; we can only see if the territory can withstand it."

"What if it can’t withstand? Are we going to become slaves?"

"Our territory’s slaves were just the first batch sent to the battlefield. I heard that out of a thousand sent, less than two hundred returned."

At this moment, many couldn’t help but think of their own fates.

If the territory fell, becoming slaves, the fate of the slaves from their territory might one day befall them.

Rather than that, why not fight back!

"They don’t necessarily have to become slaves if they end up in Hope Village’s hands."

"Isn’t that just handing over our fate to someone else?"

"But do we have a choice? Our territory is in a very difficult situation."

"Moreover, our territory is aggressive, always invading others, seizing their territories, treating their residents as slaves, then selling them off. We have always treated others this way; we should have expected that one day we might be treated the same. Rather than facing an unknown territory in the future, wouldn’t it be better... to just break now! Considering their reputation, Hope Village might even treat us residents well!" The person spoke the last sentence in a very low voice.

This statement was actually quite reactionary.

If it were a normal day, he wouldn’t dare to speak such words.

In such a territory, living there, they could only go with the flow.

But now, with the crisis imminent, they naturally had to think of the most advantageous choice for themselves.

Avoiding harm and seeking benefit is the human nature.

Indeed, as soon as this person expressed his thoughts, many had already accepted it a little.

With a better way out that doesn’t involve risking their lives, why should they fight!

In fact, such discussions were not just happening in one place but were taking place in every corner of Fasal Village.

After all, Fasal Village was not entirely isolated; usually there were merchant teams coming and going within the territory, and mercenaries would arrive to take tasks at the Task Center or leave to undertake tasks in other territories.

It was normal for people who came and went to know about Hope Village.

Especially after the first failed attempt by Fasal Village to invade another territory, many residents remembered the name ’Hope Village,’ and when they traveled out, they subconsciously wanted to find out more.

Thus, even though Wolf had temporarily banned visits to Hope Village, news about it still couldn’t be stopped.

Despite many people thinking this way, until the very last moment, they still held certain illusions about their territory, and some were rushing to the Lord Mansion to sell the stones they had.

The stones from the residents’ hands continuously entered the warehouse through the Lord Mansion.

Wolf was using the control panel to monitor the increase in stones in the warehouse.

However, in reality, the addition of these stones was just a drop in the bucket given the current consumption of Fasal Village.

Even now, Wolf was thinking about using human lives to block the attack from Hope Village was impossible at the front.

Thus, confirming it was impossible at the front, Wolf turned his attention to the side.

From the intensity of the recent attacks, it seemed that the main force of Hope Village was at the front; if he could cut in from the side, perhaps he could stall their advance.

Now, he wasn’t thinking about repelling Hope Village but considering how to ensure his territory wasn’t captured under such fierce attacks from Hope Village.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Wolf couldn’t help but bitterly smile; he really hadn’t expected that his once invincible self would end up in such a state.

The grand ambition of seeking revenge on Hope Village had shattered into pieces before reality.

However, in a blink, Wolf’s eyes became determined again.

He wouldn’t admit defeat until the last moment.

Most importantly, even if he lost, he wouldn’t let Hope Village easily inherit everything from his territory.

If he couldn’t keep it, he would rather... destroy it!

In Wolf’s eyes, a madness surged deep within.
