Were they dead? When ESMAU heard this news, it could not help but feel a little disappointed. That's right, this village was often attacked by magical beasts. Those villagers who had cultivated battle energy must have been standing at the forefront of the battle. It was very normal for them to die. However, it was a pity.
"Village Chief, I'm sorry!"
"No, I think you misunderstood!" The village chief noticed ESMAU's expression and smiled kindly.
ESMAU was stunned. He did not see the village chief's sad expression and seemed to have recalled something for the first time." Village chief, what misunderstanding are you talking about?”
"Hehe, not all the warriors in our village are dead. Most of them were recruited by the city lord.”The village chief smiled and revealed a hint of relief.
After being recruited by the city lord, the village was often attacked by magical beasts. Why didn't they stay to protect the villagers but instead left? This didn't seem to make sense. ESMAU looked at the village chief in confusion.
"The city lord said that these magical beasts are like this because they are being driven by a stronger magical beast. It has taken a fancy to this land, so it has recruited all the people in our village who have battle energy. In order to resist the stronger magical beasts and protect our land, everyone will be recruited into the city lord's army after cultivating battle energy.”Ma Bole answered with pride.
"Yes, because the city lord's army is strong and those powerful magic beasts are blocking the outside, the magic beasts here are only grade 1 to grade 3. Little Horse's father was recruited by the city lord after he cultivated his battle energy!”The village chief looked at Ma Bole lovingly, then looked at ESMAU and said,""Little Horse, look, even though our little brother Hua Shi has not cultivated any Dou Qi, he is still able to possess such powerful strength. So, you don't have to be depressed.”
ESMAU recalled the Grade 9 Diba Royal Snake and the Dark Green Dragon that they had encountered before, and they understood what was going on. With such a powerful Grade 9 Magical Beast here, the ones that the City Lord was fighting should be at least Grade 6 or Grade 7.
Even so, ESMAU still had a lot of doubts. What kind of magical beast could control so many low-level magical beasts?
Even with the help of ESMAU, the damage caused by the beast tide this time was still very great. More than 20 villagers had lost their lives in the battle, and this was with the help of ESMAU. On the other three sides of the village, the casualties were much more serious. A total of 137 villagers had died in this attack. This made ESMAU, who had just won a battle, feel heavy in their hearts. Every villager was very sad.
"What exactly happened? Why are there suddenly so many magical beasts of the fourth or fifth rank in this Beast Tide? Could it be that something has happened on the City Lord's side?”The village chief was very worried, and this was the only way to explain it.
Everyone quietly cleaned up the battlefield. Although the attacks of the magical beasts had put their village in danger, the harvest was also great. The fur of countless magical beasts could be made into defensive equipment and sold, and the meat could become everyone's food.
On the first day, the village suffered two attacks from the Magical Beasts, causing the village, which originally only had two thousand people, to lose more than two hundred lives. The village had more than one thousand people who could fight, but one-fifth of them died on that day, causing the entire village to be in grief.
"In the past, there would never be such a situation. Sometimes, only one or two people would die. Usually, there would be no casualties.”The village chief was in great pain, and two streaks of tears had already appeared on his old face.
ESMAU did not know what to say. Although Flo had been through many battles, it was always her servants who had died for her. This was the first time she had seen a villager die in battle to protect her village, and she felt a little emotional. She could already imagine how Pillay had risked his life to let her escape. It was a responsibility.
At night, the starry sky was like a curtain, and specks of starlight flickered. That night, ESMAU did not sleep. He sat on the roof and stared at the sky in a daze. He had been in this world for more than ten years, and the first ten years were spent in cultivation. So what should he do now? It was obviously impossible to reach the realm that his master had requested in a short period of time, so should he do something during this period of time?
Seeing the villagers fighting for the safety of their village, ESNU couldn't help but think of itself. In the past, its greatest pursuit was to have fragrant steamed buns to eat, but now, with power, ESNU realized that its desire for food was no longer as fervent.
With such powerful strength, he could protect the people he wanted to protect. Suddenly, Fleur's shadow appeared in ESMAU's mind, and he smiled.
In the wee hours of the morning, the demonic beasts began a new round of attack. This time, it was even more intense than yesterday. ESMAU took the lead and fought at the forefront. Ma Bole followed the village chief's orders and fought hard behind him.
Ma Bole's perception was pretty good. Even though he did not have any Refined Qi, he was able to learn ESMAU's footwork and his speed was much faster. This discovery greatly boosted his morale, and he suddenly raised his attack intensity. However, he did not have ESMAU's strength, and after fighting for a long time, he was gradually weakening. If not for ESMAU protecting him from the side, he would have been seriously injured by the demonic beast.
The air surged and was suddenly dyed red. Countless fireballs fell from the sky, killing many magical beasts and taking the lives of more than ten villagers.
This change shocked the East China University. Such a powerful magic attack was probably a powerful magic beast, at least a grade-4 one. Looking up, he saw a Flame Lion coldly watching the battlefield three hundred meters away. Its mane danced like fire, and it opened its mouth to spit out a huge fireball, chasing away the magical beasts in front of it.
ESMAU's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that these magical beasts were driven here to attack the humans? This was the only explanation for why the normally gentle magical beasts would suddenly attack the village.
Just as the village chief had said, there was a high-level demonic beast chasing away these low-level demonic beasts. Thinking of this, ESMAU told Ma Bole to be careful and turned around to charge at the Flaming Lion. To capture a thief, one must first capture the leader. As long as this Flaming Lion was killed, the demonic beasts 'attacks would weaken.
The Flame Lion seemed to have noticed that ESMAU did not have any Combat Energy fluctuations and thought that it was impossible for him to be a powerful human. It roared in disdain, and its fiery mane suddenly expanded, scattering fireballs all over the sky. However, the fireballs were not large, only the size of a fist.
ESMAU's Quintessential Essence surged through his body, and his sleeves fluttered even though there was no wind. Before the Blaze Lion could launch a second wave of attacks, the long sword slashed across its neck. Hot blood splattered everywhere, and its life was over.
"You're really good. I didn't expect this village to have an expert like you! Eh? No fighting spirit?" Just as ESMAU regained its balance, a voice came from the forest.
