Chapter 782 - 388: Crazy! He must be crazy!_3
After the excitement, when he looked again at the motionless attack team of Hope Village, there was a full sense of discontent.
"Their rear was attacked, yet they remain so unmoved. Aren’t they afraid that our forces will sandwich them?" Wolf snorted lightly, "Or is it that, in their eyes, the Lord of Hope Village is simply not worth uniting over? Haha, in the end, he’s just a lackey of Hope Village, inferior to the interests of Hope Village."
At that moment, Wolf made no attempt to hide his emotions.
When he had told Worley and Norris to move, deep down he had harbored thoughts that they might create chaos within Hope Village’s attacking forces, thereby affecting the battle.
Unfortunately, this plan had not come to fruition.
But deep inside, Wolf still held on to a sliver of hope.
He hoped that after the Black Stone attack, Worley and Norris could lead the soldiers and slaves to cause some disturbance in the rear, or even break through the defense at the rear of Hope Village’s team and start attacking the main battle team, presenting a pincer situation. Then, the crisis of Fasal Village could be overcome. Even if they failed, they wouldn’t be conquered.
Thinking this, Wolf kept waiting for the possible actions of Worley and Norris.
But he waited and waited! For a long time, there was still no movement behind Hope Village’s forces.
"Useless!" While muttering this, Wolf felt an immense disappointment.
Nicholas, hearing this, also looked into the distance and sighed deeply.
Regardless of what decision Worley and Norris made, the lack of activity until now had already proven one thing: Fasal Village no longer had the capability for a comeback.
His gaze returned to Wolf.
In the face of no hope, would the Lord choose to retreat?
Wolf made no move, so Nicholas could only stand behind him, waiting slowly.
After a while, Wolf looked again at the defensive power of his territory.
[The wall is being damaged, 58% of defense power remaining, please repair 33,600 units of stone material.]
[The wall is being damaged, 89% of defense power remaining, please repair 8,800 units of stone material.]
[...]
The second after the repairs were done, the defense power of the wall once again fell below 90%.
The attack ability of Hope Village at this time clearly was not ordinary.
Wolf glanced at the soldiers who were desperately defending and his eyes shifted subtly.
"Lord, many soldiers are lacking in magic power and physical strength. Besides resting, they also need repair-type and recovery-type potions."
"Lord, the stock in the hospital is already insufficient."
"Lord,..."
Just then, a few Soldier Team Captains who had finished assessing their soldiers’ condition came to find Wolf, looking somewhat weary.
Wolf paused as he listened, "Hold on for a bit, I will gather resources from the merchants within the territory."
"...Yes." The captains could only comply as Wolf instructed.
When they returned to the front line and saw the soldiers looking somewhat fatigued due to exhaustion of magic power and physical strength, they directly said, "The Lord has already gone to gather supplies."
At these words, the expressions of many soldiers changed.
"Gather? When we used to campaign in other territories, we never did this."
"Support for resources, besides the initial stage, hasn’t been forthcoming afterwards."
"Without recovery potions, what are we supposed to use to fight against the people of Hope Village?"
"There must be a problem."
"The soldiers of Hope Village have Golden Weapons and Purple Equipment, fully outfitted from head to toe, not only safe but also with plenty of recovery potions. They can even take turns resting, and during rest, their logistics even prepare them delicious food and beverages. Compared with them, our territory...how are we supposed to fight???"
"I’m starting to doubt whether the Lord has given up on us. But if he has given up on us, how are they supposed to fight?"
"..."
Many soldiers voiced their dissatisfaction in low tones, audible only to their own ears. Towards the end, they became so agitated they could only suppress their emotions.
Especially towards the end, they felt a sense of helplessness.
The difference from before was so great, it made them suspicious.
Hearing this, the Soldier Team Captains felt uneasy, eventually saying, "The Lord has never failed us before; I believe he won’t this time either. If things are tough, use your own potions to hold out for now. I’m confident that as long as we hold on, the Lord won’t let us down. Also, you should have heard that there was an explosion at the rear of Hope Village’s forces—a sure sign that our Lord has other plans in play."
