After dinner, Joshua was ready to have a good sleep but the window suddenly opened.

A black figure appeared in the room.

Joshua opened the room in shock and found a dark elf woman in tight clothes standing in front of him.

“Who are you?”

The dark elf woman standing at the end of his bed said in a very low voice, “I’m a member of the Shadow Elves. My name is Lucy Patience! I came here today because I have something to ask the village chief for help!”

“Help?”

“Yes, help. The dark elves’ clan has recently been attacked by the half-elves clan! That’s why I am begging the village chief to help us!”

The news came too suddenly.

“Even if you want me to help you, there’s not much I can do for you now. There are only about fifty guards in our village right now and they have just joined us at the last minute. They don’t have any fighting strength at all!”

When the woman from the Shadow Elves heard this, she was immediately stunned. She did not expect the other party to be so decisive.

Seeing the other party’s silence, Joshua could not help but guess.

He asked, “Did you also ask for help from the old village chief before this?”

The woman heard this and immediately said, “About 200 years ago when the village chief hailed from the elf tribe, we asked him for help! He had done so by sending the Great Ghost clan to help us turn the tides and win the battle.

“But I didn’t expect that after only 200 years, the number of these half-elves would increase by several times. Because of this reason, our shadow elves have suffered great damage. As there is really no other way to deal with things, I’ve come here to ask for help. In fact, after 200 years, I did not expect the village to flourish this magnificently.”

“Magnificently?” Joshua was very puzzled. This village only had more than 100 people and the total number of guards didn’t exceed 300. This was considered magnificent?

He could not help but be curious. How many people were there in the fight?

“How many people are there in your village now? And how many are here right now?”

Seeing that Joshua was interested, Lucy immediately said, “There are more than a hundred people in the area now. There are only fifty people left in our village now!”

The number of people was much less than he had imagined.

After thinking for a moment, Joshua decided to extend her a hand. “While our numbers are still not enough to be able to support your battle, I feel that we can still help you. How about the dark elves consider moving into our village?”

“Move here?”

“Of course! Over a short amount of time, several areas of our village will be expanded. When the time comes, you can move here and become my villagers. Then, I can do my best to protect you!”

Looking at Lucy who was frowning, Joshua thought that she was unwilling.

The next second, Lucy smiled and said excitedly, “I will go and discuss this with the chief right now!”

After saying that, she disappeared from the window with a swoosh.

Seeing this scene, Joshua was ready to extend his hand to persuade her to stay but she left so quickly that he did not have any time to prepare.

“You’re in too much of a hurry! At least let me make a few small requests!”

Since she had already left, there was no use for Joshua to say anything.

He turned off the bedside lamp, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, there was a commotion outside the house.

Joshua opened the door to take a look and saw dozens of shadow elves appearing outside the house

This scene shocked Joshua so much that his jaw almost dropped.

No way! In just one night, their entire clan had moved here!

“You guys came so fast!”

Lucy, who was the leader, immediately said to Joshua, “The place where we used to live is no longer available, so the chief gritted his teeth and made the decision to move here!”

“How about this, you guys wait outside for a while while I go put on some clothes and come over to help your clan settle in.” 

After changing into a more appropriate set of clothes, Joshua immediately went out and brought them to Georgi’s place.

Looking at the large group of people following behind Joshua, Georgi realized that he was probably about to be given something to do.

He pointed at the people behind Joshua and asked, “Village chief, what do you need me to do?”

“They will move into the village in the future, but the village has not been built yet. Therefore, arrange for them to join the village guards first and give them some equipment for self-defense!”

“Yes, village chief! I’ll do it right away.” With that, he led the shadow elves toward the guard camp.

After everyone had left, Lucy came to Joshua’s side and followed behind him.

After noticing her presence, Joshua immediately asked, “Lucy, is there anything else you want to talk to me about?”

Hearing this, Lucy immediately twisted her body hesitantly and answered in a low voice, “Because you accepted us, the chief said that I’m now yours. Please take care of me in the future!”

“You’re mine? What kind of rural custom is this? I’ll talk to your chief personally when he comes back!”

Hearing this, Lucy thought that Joshua did not want her so she immediately leaned her chest against his arm and said, “No! I can’t go back like this. Everyone in the village knows that you want me so I don’t have the pride to go back!”

Speechless, it seemed that Joshua misunderstood!

“Wait, let me finish! What I mean is that there’s no need for you to do this or thank me specifically.”

Even if Joshua said so, Lucy was still unwilling to let him go.

Seeing that he was in a dilemma, Joshua immediately said, “Alright! From now on, you’ll follow behind me as my personal guard! Now, please let me go.”

Because this was the main street and Lucy had been sticking close to him, Joshua’s reputation would be damaged if they misunderstood the relationship between them. 

The village had just been built and Joshua had just established his image. How could he let it be so easily destroyed in such a situation?

Hearing that Joshua agreed to keep her, Lucy immediately let him go.

As he walked toward the office, Joshua thought, ‘In the future, I better make my stance clear no matter which race decides to move in! I can’t live in peace in this place. There are hundreds and thousands of races. If each clan gave me one person as a bride, this would be never-ending!”

Before he reached the office, Joshua met Lena who was out shopping.

When she saw the beautiful dark elf following behind Joshua, she suddenly felt jealous and immediately stopped him.

She stared at the elf behind him with hostility and said to Joshua, “Who’s that following you?”

“Ah! This is Lucy Patience from the dark elves’ clan. For some reason, she’s now my guard!”

As soon as he said that, Joshua felt that something was wrong because the look in Lena’s eyes suggested that he had said the wrong thing!
