Chapter 163: Chapter 097: Sneaky Tactics! Victory!_2

"Continue the attack!" Kerlich issued the order once more, clearly still unwilling to give up.

All the Pigmen listened and could only obey.

Who else controlled their fate but the Lord!

At this moment, Grant also withdrew his gaze.

Why was he curious about Hope Village? It was simply because Lord Kerlich was too unreliable, and he needed to find another way out.

Why not rely on other Beastman territories? That was because if people from different races went to other territories, they would end up worse off, unless it was the Royal Capital, but that wasn’t a place a low-level Beastman like him could go.

There it was, the Human Territory of Hope Village came into view.

According to the information disclosed by Mali, this human territory allowed mutual choice with the Beastmen; if it didn’t turn out as well as he hoped, he could still back out.

Regrettably, for now, it was all just wishful thinking, the opportunity was still uncertain.

The next moment, he became entangled with the residents of Hope Village again.

The other Pigmen did the same.

However, amidst the turmoil, Zhou Bai quickly noticed something unusual.

After several battles, she had gradually figured out a way to fight the Pigmen.

The Pigmen indeed could use many explosive skills, but as long as she dodged these skills, the Pigmen were not a problem.

She used this method to deal with several Pigmen; other teams had their gains as well.

Therefore, in the current battle, she had thought of countless ways to handle the Pigmen she faced.

But after the real combat started, she found that the Pigmen on the opposite side were slacking off.

Yes, slacking off, not actively using skills, conserving the maximum physical strength, retreating at any sign of danger — wasn’t that slacking off?

Had they changed?

While fighting, Zhou Bai observed and discovered that it wasn’t just the Pigmen fighting her, but the others were doing the same.

And the Pigmen, not rushing forward as mindlessly as before, had become evidently harder to handle.

However hard to handle they had become, their damage value to humans had also dropped.

Watching Kerlich commanding from a distant rear, Zhou Bai understood.

But understanding was one thing; Zhou Bai was not one for pleasantries.

The Pigmen were slacking off because they had no other choice against Hope Village; if they had a way, then it would be Hope Village suffering right now.

As long as they were on the battlefield, they were enemies!

If the opponents managed to survive, that was their skill, but it was not Zhou Bai’s responsibility to back off.

Not just Zhou Bai, the others thought the same.

They wouldn’t be kind.

Returning good for evil, what reward is there for good?

Even so, the mortality rate of the Pigmen had decreased significantly, and Hope Village seemed much more at ease.

Amidst the Pigman army’s laxity, the battle raged into the night.

Focused solely on the battlefield, Kerlich didn’t realize how time had flown until he saw darkness descending, and only then did it dawn on him that almost 10 hours had passed!

It was at this point that Kerlich felt a tinge of real fear.

He was probably not going to take down Hope Village!

Just as this thought emerged, the people of Hope Village retreated!

"Eat, eat."

"After eating, we’ll fight again!"

"Let’s go, hurry up, I’m getting hungry."

"..."

Amidst their spirited exit, the people of Hope Village safely withdrew once more.

The Pigmen, seeing their adversaries paying them no heed, fell silent.

"Gurgle gurgle."

The next moment, their stomachs also started growling.

So hungry.

Before they arrived, they hadn’t thought that they would fail to conquer Hope Village after daylight.

But the truth was, not only had they failed to conquer, but they also suffered substantial losses.

Immediately, many Pigmen’s gazes turned sharply toward Kerlich.

Kerlich finally noticed the defeat in their eyes, pursed his lips, and then said, "We’ll also rest, let’s eat!"

The Pigmen, understanding his unwillingness to retreat, fell silent.

Then they returned to the safe area, started fires, and prepared food.

The sky grew darker.

And not far from Hope Village, torches were lit around the entire city wall, instantly illuminating the open space in front of the territory.

It was as if they were also declaring to Kerlich and the other Beastmen.

If you disagree, come fight! They were ready anytime!

As many Pigmen rested, Kerlich approached Grant.
