I Become a Landlady in the Game World

The screams of the companions had already alerted the soldiers and Professionals of Fasal Village on site, and they immediately turned around to start dealing with the Demon Beast behind them.

But they all looked somewhat dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Why are there Demon Beasts coming from behind us?"

"Could it be that the Lord made a mistake... wrongly?"

"Impossible!"

"And even if he did make a mistake, it wouldn't be from behind us."

"There must have been some unexpected change."

"It might be an issue with Hope Village."

"Hope Village?"

"The appearance of so many Demon Beasts at night can only mean one thing: they took the opportunity to promote, using the promotion's Beast Tide to attack us."

"Hope Village is too cunning! They must have planned this long ago!"

"So what do we do now about Hope Village?"

"It depends on what the Lord decides! Hope Village has just undergone a Beast Tide orchestrated by the Lord, and they're likely struggling to cope."

"When I enter Hope Village, I will definitely make them pay."

"Humph, me too."

"..."

The discussion gradually spread among those present, most of whom felt indignant toward Hope Village.

After all, the rule of the promotion's Beast Tide was well known, so many had figured it out upon understanding the situation.

But despite their reluctance, they had no choice but to help fight off these Demon Beasts, though deep down they still held great confidence in their own Lord.

Little did these people know that Wolf was also facing difficulties.

Upon discovering that Hope Village was using an upgraded Beast Tide against them, Wolf immediately abandoned the plan of retracting the Demon Beasts and instead continued letting the Demon Beasts attack Hope Village, abandoning his original plan and bringing out his siege weapon— the Siege Hammer.

The Siege Hammer could quickly find a vulnerable attack point in the fortress walls of a territory, and from there launch an attack. Once struck, that area could easily become a weak point, and if the territory's defensive power wasn't immediately restored, the Siege Hammer could deliver a crushing blow, completely shattering the wall's defensive power. Therefore, the Siege Hammer had to be used at critical moments.

Now was such a critical time.

When the Siege Hammer was released, it instantly transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight towards the walls of Hope Village.

Soon, the Siege Hammer had deeply embedded itself in the walls of Hope Village.

After doing all this, Wolf turned to look at Aiden standing beside him, "Check the current defensive power of Hope Village's walls."

"Yes," Aiden, having just recovered from the shock, hurriedly took out his detector, a bit frantically.

For some reason, a foreboding premonition had just risen in his heart.

Since Hope Village had used an upgraded Beast Tide against them during the night, could it have been a trap all along? A trap to lure them in?

As he thought this, Aiden stole a glance at Wolf.

He didn't know whether the Lord had considered this and what his reaction would be if the results weren't what they expected.

Thinking this, a beep later, the detector displayed the latest defensive power of Hope Village's walls.

Defensive power: 400,000.

Seeing this number, Aiden almost cried.

After all their hard work the whole day, to find the enemy still unscathed?

It was too much! Really too much!
