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!
