Chapter 268: Hope Village Under Surveillance_2
Yet he had not expected that beneath the facade of mighty strength, the Fasal Village Lord was so brainless.
Perhaps it was simply that his previous splendor had obscured it.
Moreover, Lord Wolf rarely showed himself in public.
They were seeing him for the first time but hadn't expected that on this occasion, they would completely reverse their impression of him.
However, thinking about how Hope Village had repelled Fasal Village, their fear of Fasal decreased considerably.
As long as they were adequately prepared, Fasal Village wasn't beyond resistance.
As for what to prepare, why not learn from Hope Village?
Many lords who had gathered for the excitement were busily calculating in their minds.
Lord Wolf was unaware that others were scoffing at his words. Seeing everyone's silence, he added, "As a lord, I can't even guarantee my own safety here, let alone yours. Those beastmen have always been violently wicked, and have killed who knows how many of our Human Race..."
Anyway, he had to leave the impression in the hearts of the Hope Village Residents today that the beastmen were unreliable.
In Wolf's long-held view, many Residents were typically led by the nose by those in higher positions. He had personally witnessed how a noble had, through a few seemingly true rumors, directly caused the collapse of a territory, and the subsequent invasion had been effortless to conquer that land.
He thought that he too could learn from that noble.
But what Lord Wolf hadn't expected was that as soon as he had spoken half of his words, many of the surrounding people had hastily spoken out against him.
"What nonsense are you spouting, claiming beastmen are violent and wicked? Where are they more evil than you? You led your soldiers to invade our territory, killed our friends and family, and still have the nerve to stir up trouble here."
"Exactly. The beastmen in our territory have never bullied us. They earnestly guard our territory, and when they see residents of our territory in mortal danger outside, they even come to our aid."
"Race has never been a criterion for distinguishing between good and evil; it's the heart that counts."
"You are also human, but your heart is more wicked than any beastman's."
"If we're talking about hatred, we detest you even more."
"You are not human!"
"..."
Of course, the first ones who couldn't restrain themselves were the original residents of Aberto Village.
Although they had now settled down in Hope Village and were living a better life than in Abo Duowei Village, the shadow of death from that day had never faded from their hearts.
Their companions who had died one after another were vivid in their minds.
When they saw Wolf in Hope Village, their hatred had already been difficult to suppress, but they kept it in check for fear of causing trouble for Hope Village.
But after repeated provocations from the other party, and seeing clearly that Hope Village was not afraid of Wolf, they finally dared to stand up and express their grievances.
With their lead, some of the Hope Village Residents also couldn't restrain themselves anymore.
"Yeah! Do you have any shame?"
"The beastmen of our territory are a thousand, no, ten thousand times kinder than you."
"If it was really them who beat you up, I'd say they were the heroes of our territory!"
"Our territory doesn't welcome you at all. Standing on the land of our territory, yet you want to bully our Residents, get lost!"
"Get lost quickly, as far as you can go."
"If you dare come to Hope Village again, we will absolutely leave you without a single piece of armor to salvage."
"If we could defeat you once, we can defeat you a second time."
"Have the guts to come back, huh! You'll just be hand-delivering us a victory meal."
"But actually, we do owe you a bit of thanks because of you, many people in our territory have gained two or three levels, getting closer to being Intermediate Professionals!"
"Speaking of which, if you have the ability, just keep staying in Hope Village. I'm certain that being sacked in a bag won't be the last time for you; plenty of people are waiting to beat you up!"
"..."
These echoing voices were not just derisive in tone, there was additional disdain on their faces, and these emotions were directly assailing Wolf.
Here it was again, that same feeling!
Wolf, once again, felt the frustration of the previous day.
The Residents of Hope Village had never treated him with the respect he expected; what he got instead was disdain, hatred, anger...
Looking at the others, the majority of visitors were just watching with cold eyes, while some even seemed eager to try their hand at him, as if watching the spectacle of this Lord's predicament.
Finally grasping the reality, even if he was brainless, Wolf understood clearly that Hope Village was completely different from the territories as he knew them.
