1093: War Begins

After a short wait, some attention-grabbing sounds gradually appeared from the darkness outside Li Village.

Those sounds were muffled and heavy, like thunder rolling over the earth, constantly approaching!

In just a short moment, the busy villagers in Li Village one by one noticed the ground beneath their feet trembling slightly!

The people in the Village had clearly sensed something was wrong, and on the high platform, several people operating the searchlights pointed the large lights directly into the distance.

With the help of the searchlights' brightness and the view from the high platform, many people saw a scene that made their hearts tremble!

People, dense crowds, all people!

A torrent of steel-like Army was approaching their Li Village, rapidly approaching!

"Everyone, come to the Back Mountain area of the Village!"

In Li Village, a group of villagers who had received Li Changkong's order began shouting loudly to organize everyone.

"Go to the Back Mountain area?"

Although the villagers heard some noises, most still didn't know what was happening.

Under the organization of the personnel, this group quickly gathered in the Back Mountain area of the Village.

This area was slightly higher than other parts of the Village.

The view, accordingly, was also wider.

When the villagers arrived here, they could hear the already very obvious sound of large numbers of horses' hooves!

"Buzz, buzz buzz..."

In the Village, one searchlight after another focused on the front at this moment.

In the bright light, the thirty thousand strong Army under the darkness was clearly presented before everyone's eyes!

"This is?!"

When the Li Village villagers on the Back Mountain saw this scene, their eyes widened one by one, and few could remain calm.

"This is the Knight Army from Busen City! They must be here to destroy us, it's over!"

Among the villagers, someone spoke with a trembling voice.

This sentence, coupled with the Knight Army only a hundred meters away from Li Village, directly caused the crowd to become agitated.

"Let's run quickly! If we don't run now, it will be too late!"

"Everyone, calm down!" Li Man stood out at this moment, his loud voice immediately drawing everyone's attention.

"The Army from Busen City would come to our Li Village, Village Chief actually knew this a long time ago."

"You don't need to worry about your own safety, regarding how to deal with these guys, Village Chief already has a method, you just need to watch quietly here!"

Li Man's words carried strong confidence.

And this also calmed the panicked villagers quite a bit.

Fortunately, Li Changkong had cleared out the spies in advance, and without anyone deliberately creating panic, the villagers of Li Village didn't descend into complete chaos.

But even so, the worry on every villager's face was still very strong.

"That is... It's Village Chief, why is he going to meet them alone!?"

It must be said that this area on the Back Mountain was indeed a natural viewing platform.

The Li Village villagers on the hillside could clearly see that after the Busen City Army arrived, Li Changkong actually walked out of Li Village alone, directly facing the Army!

Outside Li Village.

Maurice had already led the Army to this place.

Looking at Li Changkong, who walked out of Li Village alone in front of him, a smug smile appeared on Maurice's old face.

"Li Village Chief, haven't seen you in a while." Maurice's words carried obvious mockery.

That contemptuous attitude towards the Otherworlders was his true self!

"Lord Maurice, you've led the Army here, are you going to destroy my Li Village?" With the military formation in front, Li Changkong's voice was a question, and more like a challenge!

As soon as such a tough tone came out, Maurice was stunned.

Turning his head and exchanging glances with Vice City Lord Fei Kui, both burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Li Village Chief, how does that sound? It reminds me of Lord Earl scolding us."

"After all these days, managing this small Li Village, you really think of yourself as a big shot?" Fei Kui's words carried a hint of contempt and a cold smile.

Maurice on the side spoke formally with a stern expression: "Li Changkong, your Li Village has privately expanded its land, severely occupying the land of my Vog Country, this crime deserves execution!"

"Now I only need to wave my hand, and your entire Village will be razed to the ground!"

Speaking of this, the White-Haired Old Man changed his tone: "Seeing as you brought Busen City over ten days of safety with your electric lights, I'll give you a chance."

"As long as you hand over the electrical appliances, electricity, and all the core technologies invented by your Li Village! I can decide to only deprive you of your freedom and grant you the status of slaves!"

Having endured for so long, Maurice finally completely tore off his facade and directly stated his purpose!

Fei Kui also reminded him from the side: "Kid, don't think about threatening us by cutting off the power."

"To tell you the truth, our Busen City already has the formula for the enhancement potion."

"In this situation, your electric lights are no longer the only option for me!"

"I advise you to honestly hand over the relevant technologies of your Li Village, otherwise, your fate will definitely be very miserable!"

After the two spoke in unison, Li Changkong sighed: "The enhancement potion formula Su Liang gave you really makes you feel confident."

"If I say no, what will you do?" Li Changkong asked back calmly.

After these words were spoken, Maurice and Fei Kui, as well as the high-ranking officials from Busen City behind them, all had grim expressions!

"Li Changkong." A hint of coldness appeared in Maurice's voice: "Actually, more than ten days ago, when I invited your Li Village to Busen City, I was giving you a chance."

"That was the best opportunity, if you had agreed to join Busen City at that time, you would definitely have lived a colorful life."

"And now, this is the last chance I give you."

"If you choose correctly, you will at least have a chance to start over."

"If you don't cooperate and make the wrong choice, we don't mind pushing you into Hell!"

"Sounds quite scary." Li Changkong paused: "Then said calmly, my answer is, no."

"Hmph, you brought this upon yourself!" After hearing this sentence, Maurice completely lost his patience.

"Attack!"

As his words fell, a Silver Knight General from behind suddenly leaped into the air, directly approaching Li Changkong's location!

At the same time, on the other side, among the Busen City Army, five or six hundred-man Knight teams directly headed towards the interior of Li Village!

If they were to engage in combat, these few small teams and one Silver Knight would be completely sufficient.

The manpower behind was mostly for moving things later.

This was Maurice's idea.

However.

The actual development of events did not proceed according to Maurice's plan.

Just as their Silver Knight General was about to restrain Li Changkong with one hand, a short magic attack containing terrifying power suddenly erupted from within Li Village!

In just the next breath.

This magic attack directly struck the Silver Knight in mid-air!

"Boom!"

Amidst the muffled sound of twisting armor, this General was struck heavily, violently flipping and rolling onto the ground in the distance!

"How is that possible?!"

At the moment their Knight was severely injured and rolled away, the leading Maurice and Fei Kui both showed expressions of disbelief.

Immediately after, both of their gazes fell upon Li Village!

Three figures gradually revealed themselves from that dim area.

"Raine? Green Na?!"

"Dean?!"

Maurice and Fei Kui successively cried out in disbelief.

They were first surprised that these three guys, who should have been in the Western Main City, would appear here, and then couldn't understand why these people would help Li Changkong!

The one who just struck and defeated their Silver Knight was clearly Green Na, that Intermediate Great Magician!

"What are you doing? As citizens of Vog Country, and at the same time holding the title of Viscount, you are helping a group of Otherworlders to deal with our own people?!"

Maurice's voice completely lost its previous calmness and ease.

After all, these three were beings who had been conferred the title of Viscount.

Originally, they were the sole rulers in their respective territories, and in terms of status and strength, they were only slightly weaker than the two Vice City Lords!

Now that these three were on Li Village's side, if they only looked at the peak combat power, their side was at a disadvantage!

"Maurice, I'm giving you a choice now, if you retreat your troops now and help me capture Su Liang, I can let you live." Li Changkong's voice came out, which made the gazes of Viscount Maurice and Fei Kui focus on him.

While watching, they frequently scanned towards the location of the three Viscounts, their hearts still filled with a sense of the unbelievable.

"Hmph! A petty person getting his way, you think you'll be safe just because these three guys are here?"

"Make us choose? Are you qualified?"

Maurice spoke coldly.

The next moment, he directly brandished the long sword in his hand: "Destroy Li Village for me!"

This command, this action, represented the entire Army moving out!

In less than a breath, the entire area was suddenly enveloped by a dense killing intent.

One Knight after another, clad in armor, like wild horses unleashed, directly charged towards the front of Li Village!

The Knights' combat had no flanking maneuvers, only direct and brutal charging!

As large groups of troops surged out, the ground clearly trembled.

The Knights' shouts merged into one, converging into a war horn that intimidated the enemy!

Li Village Back Mountain.

The villagers gathered here, upon seeing the Knight Army truly charging straight towards them, many of them could no longer bear the fear, and ran out of the Village in a state of panic.

More people had faces full of despair.

"Who are those people? Are they from our Li Village?"

Suddenly, a questioning voice came from the crowd.

Following this person's voice, many people looked towards that area.

That was an area inside the Village.

At some point, fully armed, sturdy Men with a futuristic technological feel emerged from there, one after another!

The overall feeling they gave off was like a completely powerful, strictly disciplined, strong Army!
