Seeing John's stiff appearance as if he had lost hope in life, the old village chief sighed silently.

If it hadn't been for the destruction of the Dragon Raid Village, he would have thought of hiding this secret for a few more decades, until John was more mentally mature, and then told him.

After all, as the strongest of the younger generation in the village and one of the candidates for the village chief, John is still very optimistic.

Unfortunately, there is no such time anymore.

While.. While... While!

Hearing the bell in response in the village, the old village chief collected his emotions, and it seemed that the people in the village should have been prepared desperately.

The old village chief looked at the dark shadow that was getting closer and closer in the air, turned his head, and said in a deep voice to John, who was still in a daze.

"What? Can't accept the truth after hearing it? There's no time for you to be in a daze now, so go back to the village now, take the children of the village and hide in the cellar until the battle is over, or... The dragon slayer left and came out again. ”

"Village Chief, how can this work? I'm an adult and an official hunter! John didn't care about it for a moment, and said excitedly.

"You? Forget it.." The old village chief smiled at John's half-grown appearance, and joked at this critical juncture. "I don't know who escaped in fear by a hammer dragon during the coming-of-age hunt!"

"It's all your fault that there's a hammerblaster in the proving grounds! And also.. I'll go back and slaughter the hammer dragon later! Passed the trial! John shouted angrily with a red face.

On the one hand, it was because the old village chief poked the pain point, and on the other hand, there was no intention of venting.

Last year, when a Hammerblaster suddenly broke into the Rite of Passage, two of the three people in the trial resisted, but John escaped until the rest of the hunters in the village came together to fight off the Hammerblaster.

It's just that by the time they arrived, the two who resisted bravely had already disappeared from their bodies...

In the end, it took John several days and painstaking efforts to kill the badly injured hammerblaster with a trap before he was able to find some undigested remains of clothing from its stomach.

Even so, John still feels guilty, if he hadn't run at the time...

"If you don't run and come back to inform everyone, there will be more than two people who will die, and no one in the village will ever blame you! Even if you never said it, we can guess that it was Bess who asked you to come back, right? ”

The old village chief's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he guessed John's thoughts at this time, and said word by word.

"It's the same now, John, it's time to decide, you're a hunter too, and it's more important to know what!"

"I see." John gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, and resolutely turned away.

However, as he was getting off the watchtower, John couldn't help but turn around and say a word.

"Village Chief, or let's hide in the cellar together, the Exterminating Dragon is not a human being, it is impossible to occupy our village, at most it will wreak havoc, and it will leave." John said very seriously.

John wasn't afraid of destroying the dragon,

"It's good to have this idea," the old village chief smiled, and then said solemnly.

"But we are hunters, this is our village, we must not let the dragon destroy it wantonly, this is our last dignity as a hunter!"

"In addition, you underestimate the strength of the village too much, it may be impossible to kill and destroy the dragon, but if you pay a certain price, you can still have a certain certainty of repelling the other party!"

The old village chief looked at the group of hunters who were rushing towards this side from a distance, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Also, although the old man didn't really tear up the fire dragon with his bare hands, but he didn't have any real skills, and the hunters in the village would not believe this rumor! They're not stupid! ”

As he spoke, the momentum on the old village chief's body became stronger and stronger, and the big sword behind his back let out a soft roar, and his originally slightly rickety figure became tougher.

"It's so strong.." John's mouth was wide open, sensing the momentum that burst from the old village chief's body, which was even more than ten times stronger than the hammer dragon he had ever seen!

"Go ahead." The old village chief stared at the dragon shadow that was getting closer and closer, and spoke.

The rumor of tearing the fire dragon with his empty hands was a propaganda method that he came up with to consolidate the authority of the village chief and inspire the younger generation, but he did kill a fire dragon alone and brought the body back, but it was not really "torn by hand".

"Yes, village chief." John resisted his excitement and ran down without looking back.

The only difference is that compared to the previous lost soul, John is full of confidence this time, with the village chief here, the village will definitely win!

John ran as fast as he could, so he didn't hear the old village chief muttering a word... There simply can't fit so many people in the cellar.

When the old village chief turned around again, he had already sorted out his emotions and said to the hunters who had already assembled.

"Warriors, the life and death of the village is in the spotlight today! Although our enemies are strong, this is not a reason for us to retreat!

This village has made us a place where we have thrived for generations, where we have defeated countless powerful enemies, from the weak to the strong... From being a hunted prey, to a hunter!

With enough courage, nothing can really beat us! ”

The old village chief told the history of the village in an impassioned tone, mobilizing everyone's emotions, but when the momentum reached its peak, he suddenly spoke.

"You must think so, right? But this time it was different, it was not a battle that could be won by courage alone, villages could be destroyed, thorns could shoot through the chests of each of us... Perhaps, every one of us could die!

The children of the village have been taken by John and his men to the place of refuge, and if anyone does not want to fight, I will allow you to follow them to the cellar!

If the village is destroyed, it will take some people to lead the children to rebuild and act as a spark of hope, and I believe no one will blame you! ”

The old village chief's cloudy eyes looked around at the hunters below, and he made his words very clear.

In fact, every hunter who has seen the Exterminator understands how powerful the Exterminator is and that there is no point in deceiving.

If you can't strengthen your faith, it will collapse when you actually fight, causing a chain reaction, and that will be a nightmare...

Under the low wall, the hunters armed with swords, hammers, axes, and bows were silent for a while, and the old village chief's words were like pouring a bucket of cold water on everyone's heads, putting the naked reality in front of their eyes.

Even many people complained in their hearts why the village chief said it so clearly, isn't it good to die with courage?
