As the village prepared, the number of guards and patrols increased to around 300 people.

Basically, all the combat units that could be rounded up by Georgi were utilized and brought straight into the forest after the first attack.

In just one day, they had already launched five attacks.

Because it was too sudden, the guards were caught off guard and many people were injured.

Looking at these wave after wave of attacks, Georgi couldn’t help but admire Village Chief Joshua’s timely arrangements!

If it was even just a little later, this half-built farmland would have been destroyed in an instant.

Joshua, who was in the village, had already received countless reports and every attack made him tremble in fear.

“What on Earth is causing this to happen?”

The people sent out by Mortimer and Lucy did not come back to report the situation. This made Joshua restless in the small house! Seeing Joshua pacing back and forth, Lena immediately brewed some calming tea from the kitchen and walked over.

“Have a cup of tea first! There’s no way to solve the problem even if you’re anxious! Haven’t we already withstood the attacks of these demi-humans? There shouldn’t be too much of a problem in the next few days!”

Knowing that there was nothing he could do, Joshua immediately sat down after hearing Lena’s words.

Not long after he sat down, he heard a knock on the door. Joshua immediately went to open the door.

Lucy walked in from outside.

Although her clothes were a little ragged, she seemed to be fine. She did not suffer any fatal injuries!

Joshua immediately helped her to the chair in the living room and handed her the tea that he had not had time to drink.

After waiting for Lucy to rest for a while, Joshua asked, “Did you manage to get any information during your scouting?”

Lucy sorted out the scene in her mind.

“The situation in the deep forest is not particularly good right now! I crossed a long distance and found that all the other demi-humans in the vicinity were fighting and looting everyone and everything they could see!

“Everywhere I went, everyone seemed to have gone crazy. There was no way to control the situation at all.”

After hearing this news, Joshua could not help but frown. It seemed that he had to make long-term defensive preparations!

The scope of the chaos was really too large.

The 300 guards and patrols in his hands had no way to contain this uncontrollable chaos!

“Then there’s no other way! You rest first. I’ll go to the public office to discuss the next matters with Mortimer!”

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry, walking toward the public office in the darkness.

As soon as he arrived at the public office, Joshua saw a few heavily injured black-clothed barbarians lying in the middle of the hall.

Seeing that Joshua had arrived, Mortimer immediately walked over and said, “Young Master! The situation is not good. The surrounding demi-humans have all gone crazy!”

Joshua immediately said to him, “I have already found out about what happened in the jungle through Lucy. The most important thing now is to strengthen the village’s defense. At the same time, send someone to the dark elves and the Great Ghost clan to discuss with their leaders about this chaos!”

“I’ll do it right away!” After saying that, Mortimer immediately sent someone to deliver the message.

Joshua observed the injured people and found that they were all just slightly injured, so he was relieved!

Because the situation was urgent, Joshua directly took charge of the public office and waited for news from Georgi in the North.

This ordeal lasted for the whole night. Just when it was about midnight, Georgi returned to the public office alone.

“Lord Village Chief! After a night of defending, these demi-humans already know that we are not to be trifled with. All of them retreated before dawn!”

“Please tell me the scope of the damage.”

“Because Alger created temporary equipment, only a dozen or so people suffered some physical damage. The rest of them took turns to resist, so other than being a little tired, everyone is alright!”

“It’s been hard on you! Hurry up and go replenish yourself and your stomach.”

“For the next few days, I will be staying in the public office and won’t leave. If there’s an emergency, please inform me immediately!”

Georgi nodded and left the office.

“This is just one night? I didn’t expect it to be so intense!” After learning about the battle situation, Joshua leaned against the table and fell asleep.

Soon, it was noon. Mortimer finally finished what he was doing,

He successfully made an alliance agreement with the great ghosts, elves, minotaurs, pygmies, orcs, goblins, and dwarves.

Under Mortimer’s negotiation, these races all decided to move to Puba Village.

However, the situation wouldn’t end in a short time so they had to make a choice.

If they didn’t join the stronger side, their races would probably disappear from this continent forever!

Before noon, Puba Village’s public office became very lively.

The leaders of the eight largest races had all arrived at the public office, waiting for Joshua who was still sleeping inside.

After Mortimer had settled everyone down, he entered the public office to wake up Joshua who was still sleeping.

“Young Master, things are going very smoothly! The eight great demi-human races have all moved into the village!”

Hearing this, Joshua immediately jumped up from his chair and said, “Really? Let’s hurry over!”

Looking at the happy expression on Joshua’s face, Mortimer immediately stopped him.

He stood in front of Joshua and quietly helped him to tidy up his clothes. Then, he brought him to the pool to wash his face.

“Young Master, we can go over now!”

Joshua was so happy that he forgot about this matter. Fortunately, Mortimer was by his side.

After that, Joshua raised his head and straightened his back. He walked out of the main door. He was very calm as he looked at the leaders of the eight great demi-human clans who were standing at the front.

When they saw how serious Joshua looked, they immediately knelt down on one knee.

Seeing this scene, Joshua raised his hand and slowly said, “The main purpose of building Puba Village is to let everyone have a good life! Now that chaos has arrived, please help me to resist these enemies who have invaded Puba Village! No matter what the result is, I will respect everyone’s decision.”

After listening to Joshua’s words, the people who knelt down on one knee immediately shouted, “Long live Village Chief Joshua!”

After ending the conversation, Mortimer arranged for them to be at various places and informed Georgi to bring all their combat units under his command.

After everything was done, Puba Village welcomed a period of peace and stability.

Because of the large number of demi-humans who joined, their combat strength has instantly doubled. The number of patrols and guards in the entire town had reached an astonishing 500 members.
