Chapter 183 Revenge, Danger, Current Situation, Decision

Jeru witnessed everything that happened in the small square, and the moment Heru appeared, all the questions that Jeru couldn't understand were answered.

His inner feelings were both contradictory and complex.

Regardless, Hru was his only family, and he hesitated about whether to confront him. But when Hru said he would take revenge and kill all the villagers in the small mountain village, Jeru finally made his decision.

He absolutely could not stand by and watch Khru kill everyone with impunity.

Jeru concealed his presence and secretly went to Lai's house to tell him everything he had seen.

Having witnessed Ray's battle with the Tiger King, he was convinced that Ray was the most powerful and trustworthy person in the entire village, and that Ray must have a way to solve this situation.

"Hru had Soru and the other two deliberately set a fire to gather the villagers in the small square, and then had his men surround them, intending to kill them all. They're ready to make their move now!"

Ignoring the big black dog biting his trouser leg, Jeru spoke anxiously, and after hearing him finish speaking, Lai immediately realized the urgency of the situation.

How many people are there?

"He brought about a hundred men, all of whom were armed."

“Jeru, I need your help now. You continue to send people with weapons to the small square. I'll go over there first to help and try to prevent the villagers from getting hurt.”

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

"Big Blackie has loosened his grip!"

Only after Lei gave Big Black a sharp rebuke did it finally obediently release its grip and let Jeru leave.

"Tata".

"The beast is here!"

"Go to Temuji's house and tell him what happened, and tell him to take his weapons to the small square."

"good!"

"Wait," Lei called to Tata, who was about to rush out the door. "Be careful."

"Um!"

"I'll help too!"

Hearing the urgency of the situation, Seya stepped forward and spoke. Although he couldn't use magic now, he was still quite skilled with a bow and arrow.

Ray asked Seyah to help him find all the iron tools in the house that could be used as weapons, and also lent him his bow and arrows.

"Stay away from them and don't let them spot you. If things look bad, run away. Don't worry about us."

Saya didn't speak, but helped place the axe, sickle, and other items on the ground. Lai waved his hand and put everything into his pendant space. He then handed Saya the wolf-tooth dagger inlaid with an earth elemental stone.

"Take good care of yourself."

"Um."

"Lian!"

Let's go.

Receiving Ryan's reply in his mind, Lai rushed out the door and split up with Seya to head towards the small square.

Ray was determined to protect the little mountain village that Neil loved so much.

This is their eternal home.

When Lai arrived, the villagers were already fighting with Hru and his men. Outnumbered and outgunned, and with their deadly tactics, some villagers were already injured.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the injured man lay in a pool of blood, struggling to get up.

The children were protected in the very center, screaming and crying in terror at the bloody scene. Behind them were several large warehouses that were about to burn down and collapse.

This was not a battle of equal strength, but a wanton massacre.

Seeing this, Lei could no longer suppress his anger and charged into the battle with his bone knife.

He is not powerful, nor does he possess any extraordinary talent. All he can do now is fight as hard as he can to save the villagers who are trapped and unable to return home.

"Ray, you're here!"

All three Hagrid brothers were present, back to back, protecting each other, each holding a wooden stick.

Without a word, Ray threw the bone knife in his hand to Reese and drew the hundred-pound steel knife from behind his back.

After dealing with the nearby soldiers, he found a relatively safe spot and took out all the weapons he had brought, throwing them on the ground.

"I brought my weapons, come and get them!"

Hearing that Rye had brought something, everyone rushed over. Rye and Reese provided cover for the others.

This time, Ray intends to fight with his own strength and will not rely on Ryan's power until the most critical moment.

"Kill that human!"

Hru pointed his staff at Lai, his face full of malice. His men immediately rushed towards Lai.

call out--

The arrow pierced the air and shot straight at Khru, slicing his cheek.

"Come and protect me, you idiot!"

Hru's arrogance vanished instantly. Soru and the other two goblins protected him closely behind them and gradually retreated away from the center of the battle.

"whispering sound."

Saiya was very dissatisfied with the arrow that had missed its mark.

In the past, he could have easily shot through the head of that disgusting goblin, but lately he has really fallen too far!

"You filthy bugs, Grandpa's here!"

Temuji charged into the small square, wielding his giant axe, and swiftly harvested the animals, one by one with each blow.

The men that Hru brought were strange; they were like mindless puppets, continuing to fight even after having a leg cut off.

Timur felt no real impact when he swung his axe; it was as if he had struck a feather. He immediately realized that a little damage wouldn't kill them instantly; he had to completely sever their heads.

With the addition of Lei and Timuk, the situation improved.

A while later, Barnett and Hagrid arrived with all the villagers who were capable of fighting, and the small square immediately descended into chaos.

Seeing that things were not going well, Hru prepared to escape. He and Soru had not gone far when they were blocked by goblins. Jeru stood next to Iru.

"Ah, isn't this my dear younger brother?"

Hru laughed wildly, his eyes filled with blatant contempt for Jeru.

“Jeru, come here. We’re brothers. I’ll get you a good job with the Demon King.”

"Hru, put down your weapon now, and I will beg humanity to spare your life."

Jeru tried to persuade Hru to surrender, as he wasn't ready to actually take action.

"Seeking help from humans? Hahahaha."

Khru acted as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"It won't be long before this place becomes adults' territory! Jeru, stop being so naive. Have you forgotten how humans treated us?"

A cold glint flashed in Khru's eyes as he gave the order when no one was paying attention.

"superior!"

The dozen or so men in black who had escorted Hru away immediately rushed forward and engaged the goblins in a fierce battle.

Hru escaped in the chaos and was not caught. Iru chased after him, but in the end he only picked up the staff that had been thrown away because it was in the way.

Having already escaped Hru, Jeru then bit and killed Soru and the other two goblins, preventing them from having any chance to leave.

The goblins were no pushovers, and after a fierce battle, they finally emerged victorious. Soru and his two companions were severely beaten, gagged, tied up, and dragged to the village by the goblins.

At this point, the fighting in the village also came to an end.

The small square was littered with corpses and bloodstains. The villagers dared not stop for a moment and immediately continued to fight the fire as soon as it was over.

The two rows of warehouses and the houses for guests to stay overnight have all been burned down, but for safety reasons, it is still necessary to use water to extinguish all the remaining wood that has not yet burned.

Iru led the goblins, enduring the villagers' resentful gazes, and brought Soru and the other two before Barnett, offering them up with both hands and returning the staff.

“These three goblins betrayed us and set fire to the warehouse. We have captured them and ask the elders to deal with them as they see fit.”

Iru humbled himself, his attitude was modest, and his tone was full of apology.

Barnett took the staff, but there was no joy on his face as if he had found something he had lost.

"Given what has happened, we can't keep you here. We'll give you three days to move out as soon as possible. Take care of yourselves from now on."

Barnett's words shattered all the goblins' hopes, and some of the younger goblins began to sob.

Looking at the villagers' corpses on the ground and the burned-out square, Iru knew that this was already a result of Barnett showing leniency.

This was, after all, the trouble caused by the goblins; otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Thank you for taking care of us over the years. We, the goblins, will always remember your kindness and the villagers' kindness."

Iru led the goblins in a deep bow to all the villagers, then left Soru and the others in the small square, supporting each other as they departed.

The arrival of the goblins was just a minor incident; the chaos resulted in many villagers being injured or killed. It was already midnight, but no one intended to leave. This day would be etched in the hearts of everyone present.

The next day, Kari and a dozen guards escorted the three goblins, Soru, to Rosen Town.

After a night of interrogation, Soru and his companions not only admitted that they stole the staff together with Heru, but also that Heru was responsible for both of the beast attacks on the small village.

This made the villagers hate Khru to the core, but unfortunately they were still careless and let him escape.

The atmosphere in the town was heavy; every household stayed indoors, and soldiers patrolled everywhere.

After being questioned repeatedly, Kari and his companions were able to enter the city. Upon hearing that they were delivering goblins who had colluded with bad people, they immediately took the matter seriously and were able to meet the mayor.

They also reported everything that happened in the small mountain village last night. As for why these three goblins were somewhat inhuman, well, that's how they were when they were captured.

Those who commit many evil deeds will surely perish; Hru will not return specifically to save them. The only fate awaiting Soru and the other two is certain death.

As luck would have it, Kari and his group ran into Vivian after finishing their business. Hearing that the village had been attacked again the day before, Vivian immediately followed Kari and his group back to the village.

The situation is dire. Rosen Town was attacked by demons last night, and it's time for the villagers of this small mountain village to start thinking about the future.

After returning to the village, Vivian went to Barnett's house first. The two talked for a long time, exchanging a lot of information. After she left, Barnett seemed to have made up his mind about something.

Having not returned for several years, Vivian received a warm welcome from her family as soon as she arrived home.

Because Kari had informed the family in advance that Vivian was back, Vivian's favorite dishes, all made by Linda herself, were already laid out on the dining table.

After dinner, only Vivian, Hagrid, Brian, and Reese remained in the living room. They had important things to discuss, and everyone else avoided the conversation.

"That's how it is. The demons have already launched an attack on the entire continent, and the situation in our small village, located on the border, is extremely critical. I just discussed it with the elders, and we've decided that the villagers should temporarily move away to avoid the storm, and then move back once everything has settled down."

Hagrid smoked his cigarette, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, and remained silent for a long time.

“I have a place in Eaton that can accommodate my whole family, so we can move there.”

Hagrid sighed, a sigh that seemed both poignant and resigned.

“Neil is lost. We can’t leave Ray here alone. He has to come with us too.”

Hagrid said.

"How did Neil get lost!" Vivian was clearly unaware of this. "No problem, Father. There's plenty of space over there; it can accommodate all of us."

"Boss, have Lamb call Ray over to the house."

"Yes, right away!"

Hagrid and Vivian chatted while waiting for Ray to arrive.

The village wasn't very big, and within minutes Rae arrived with Lamb. Hagrid then told Rae about some of his plans.

Rye was grateful to Hagrid's family, but still declined their offer. He had planned to tell Hagrid before leaving, but now it seemed there was no need to hide it anymore.

"I plan to go to the royal city to rescue Neil. I already know who kidnapped Neil."

Ray's words immediately invigorated Hagrid.

Is the news reliable?

“It’s reliable. I plan to contact my father’s old friends and family connections after I get there, hoping to rescue Neil.”

"Is he safe now?" Hagrid asked.

"It should be safe, but we'll have to make plans once we get to the capital."

Ray briefly outlined his plans, avoiding the main points, mainly to reassure Hagrid.

"With the current unrest everywhere, it's not safe for you to travel alone."

Vivian disagreed with some of Ray's ideas.

Ray conjured a dark-colored energy ball in his hand, then put it back with his bare hands.

"My current magic level is at least intermediate, so protecting myself shouldn't be a problem."

"This is not a matter of ability, but rather the resurgence of the demon race."

Vivian looked directly into Ray's eyes.

"You need to understand, they are far more cruel and terrifying than the group that attacked the small mountain village last night. They rely on devouring the flesh and blood of their own kind to increase their strength. If you were to encounter them alone, you would have no chance against them."

Vivian's words were all true, but Ray had already made up his mind.

"I will definitely go to the capital; I can't worry about so many other issues now."

"Lay, don't rush, let me think about it some more."
