Chapter 159: Chapter 094: Pigman Legion

Meanwhile, in Stanlo Village.

"This Hope Village has chosen us," Kerlich, the Lord of Stanlo Village, said with satisfaction after receiving the news.

This newly emerged human territory, ranked fairly high and being a Level 2 territory, would definitely allow them to plunder numerous resources from it. It would be even better if they could bring more people over to serve them.

"My Lord will surely achieve a complete victory!" a Pigman beside him said eagerly.

"It’s also thanks to the information you provided. I didn’t expect so many people to have their eyes on Hope Village," Kerlich laughed.

If Zhou Bai had been present, she would have definitely recognized the Pigman speaking—it was Mali, whom she had previously dismissed from her employ.

Mali met Kerlich’s gaze and smirked triumphantly.

Who would have thought Zhou Bai dared to dismiss him just for slacking off a bit! What was that, if not petty? Zhou Bai was just too stingy.

Now, he was not holding back!

The Pigman army would surely flatten Hope Village and give him a chance to redeem his previous disgrace.

Soon enough, the Pigman troops entered the territory delineated.

"Dear Host, would you like to attack Hope Village now?"

"Yes."

Soon after, light burst forth in all directions, and by the time it faded, the Pigman army had already entered the bounds of Hope Village.

"This teleportation has cost 5 Gold Coins, which have been deducted."

"Dear Host, you have arrived at Hope Village, as the challenger, please begin the siege promptly."

"Note: Village-level Territory War, duration: 24 hours (countdown: 23:54)."

Time was already ticking. Kerlich turned to Mali and said directly, "Lead the way."

Their Beastmen style of combat was always quick and decisive.

Today was no different.

"Alright!" Mali said, leading the way familiarly.

He was already extremely familiar with everything outside Hope Village.

Meanwhile, Kerlich and his group looked around, observing the stone-paved roads, and Kerlich couldn’t help but nod inwardly.

Hope Village indeed had significant financial resources.

If they were victorious, they would gain a lot.

Thinking this, his eyes filled with greed.

Before long, they saw those towering, solid walls.

Because Mali had mentioned it, Kerlich was prepared. They had dealt with several territories with strong defenses before—it was a trifle.

A group of Pigmen brazenly showed up not far from the territory. As they moved, the ground shook with their steps.

The Hope Village Residents on the walls and at the gate, waiting for their attack, couldn’t help but gasp.

This group of Beastmen was stunning to behold.

Especially their numbers—double that of the last attack by Overlord Village.

Their inherent strength, coupled with their numbers, clearly indicated that this was going to be a tough battle.

"It’s Mali!" O’Neill exclaimed in surprise when he saw Mali among the troops from the city wall.

Zhou Bai listened and glanced over, recognizing the one she had dismissed.

So, was this attack on Hope Village instigated by Mali?

If that was the case, it was truly an undeserved disaster.

And she had picked this very territory out of many options.

What terrible luck!

Seeing the densely packed army below, Zhou Bai also felt a bit of pressure.

However, she quickly dismissed that pressure.

No matter how mighty the enemy, they would give it their all.

Beside her, Bayer also realized the gravity of the situation and quickly adjusted the plan.

"O’Neill, you take a small team and confront them head-on. I will have the Soldiers coordinate with your actions," Bayer instructed O’Neill and the others.

Speaking of physical capabilities, the Beastmen were top-notch, and only Beastmen could clash head-on with other Beastmen.

In combat, this would also help split the enemy’s forces.

"Yes," O’Neill responded without hesitation.

Quickly, he led a few dozen Beastmen directly out of the city gate.

Behind him followed Heidi with the Undead npc.

Mali spotted O’Neill and his group and coldly said, "O’Neill, you are Beastmen, yet you serve humans. You have truly disgraced our kind."

"You were serving humans before too, unfortunately, you couldn’t even handle that and got returned like a defective product!"

"Working for humans, so what, they offer too much!"

"If you could compensate us more, we might consider not joining the battle."

Listening to their words, Mali spat in disgust.

They had money, but they wouldn’t spend it on them.

Kerlich watched their confrontation and said to Mali, "You take a team and face them first."

"Yes." Mali responded and immediately led one fifth of the Pigmen to charge.

The most primitive collision, flesh against flesh.

Just watching made one’s heart quiver.

The bodies of the Beastmen were too strong!

Really, if it came to a direct fight, our bodies wouldn’t even match one of their fingers.

Just as they were thinking this, the Pigman corps also moved.

"Charge! Siege!," Kerlich shouted loudly.

At the moment his words fell, all the Pigmen charged towards the city walls without hesitation.

Then, the archers on the city walls also moved.

"Fire!"

The iron arrows rained down, targeting the bodies of the Pigmen, but unfortunately, they barely left any marks on the Pigmen before falling to the ground.

Watching this, the archers’ faces showed a touch of shock.

Though they knew the physical strength of Beastmen was strong, they never imagined it to be this formidable.

If they couldn’t inflict any damage, how could they fight this battle?

"Change to the crossbow carriages!" Bayer immediately ordered.

As his words fell, the crossbow carriages that had been specially prepared for this battle precisely targeted the Pigmen below.

Each giant arrow was shot, and everyone’s hearts involuntarily raced.

Soon, the giant arrows from the crossbow carriages penetrated the bodies of the Pigmen with their powerful force.

The Pigmen, hit by the arrows, instinctively reached out to pull the arrows out of their bodies.

But pulling them out only caused secondary damage, leaving holes from which blood continuously flowed.

Watching this, everyone felt a surge of elation.

Regardless, as long as they could inflict damage, there was a battle to be fought.

Soon after, the crossbow carriage continued to target the Pigmen below.

One arrow per Pigman.

The smarter Pigmen dared not remove the arrows and became even more frantic in their attack on the city wall.

[The city wall is being damaged, defensive power is down to ninety percent, please repair with 80,000 Stone.]

[The city wall is being damaged, defensive power is down to eighty-five percent, please repair with 120,000 Stone.]

[...]

The city wall was continuously damaged, with Zhou Bai’s losses calculated in tens of thousands per second.

Zhou Bai’s heart bled.

Her gaze turned to Kerlich, standing behind the Pigmen. Zhou Bai understood that the enemy intended to directly weaken the city wall’s defensive power until her territory could no longer hold.

Soon, her territory would be at the mercy of the enemy.

But upon understanding the enemy’s intentions, would she let them continue?

Certainly not!

Zhou Bai looked at Bayer beside her and said directly, "When do we go out to battle?"

Bayer looked at Zhou Bai, then at the Pigmen below, his eyes deepened, "Wait a bit longer!"

They would strike after the first wave of the Pigmen’s assault ceased.

As time passed by the second, the Pigmen kept getting injured under the attacks of the crossbow carriage, some even hit several times, collapsing directly onto the ground.

Meanwhile, the defensive power of the city wall kept decreasing, but as long as it went below sixty percent, Zhou Bai didn’t hesitate to repair it.

Even without the system-provided materials, over the past month, Zhou Bai had accumulated quite some Stone, enough to sustain temporarily. But with the stock being consumed, she would need to work on accumulating more.

It was exactly Zhou Bai’s confidence that increasingly made Kerlich and the Pigmen’s hearts grow more restless.

When would the city wall finally be completely damaged?

The patience of the Beastmen was inherently limited, and seeing no results coupled with constant injuries on their side made them even more anxious.

As soon as they became agitated, Bayer noticed.

He looked towards Zhou Bai and the others and said, "The time has come!"

The next moment, the soldier team from Hope Village and other personal teams burst out at lightning speed.

Fight! For the territory!
