Chapter 386: Chapter 285 Water Ghost Pirate Attack_3

"Shall we run away?"

Huang Youcai grimaced as he spoke, "Where can we flee to? Fenghua City is more than a hundred miles away, and it would take two to three days of refuge to get there. If we run now, we will eventually get caught; they have horses!"

"Mr. Huang, we just vanquished the Evil God half a month ago. There aren’t many militiamen left in the town. They see our forces are depleted, that’s why they think of plundering Qingshi Town."

"Women might have a chance to survive, but all men will be drowned."

Several somewhat influential elders turned pale.

Their energy and speed couldn’t match the younger ones; they couldn’t escape even if they wanted to.

Moreover, if they fled, they would just be refugees, struggling to survive for probably just a few more years.

The atmosphere grew increasingly desperate.

Just when the True God had returned to its place, and Qingshi Town was starting to thrive under capable leadership,

suddenly they plummeted back into Hell.

Unwilling, so unwilling!

A few of the more faint-hearted were soaked with sweat through their clothes.

"We cannot run! If we run, we lose everything!" Huang Youcai squeezed these words from his throat, "We might as well fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!!"

At this moment, even a wrong path seemed better than no path at all.

Just then, the "Great Witch" Pan Hao hurried over and was slightly stunned to see Mr. Huang already bolstering the morale.

He sighed inwardly, impressed that even among the locals, there were capable individuals.

"Everyone, please hear me out."

He pulled out a bright red bead, enclosing a yellow-orange liquid, "I have an object here, the fat from the Evil God, that once ignited will burst into intense flames."

"We can feign surrender, then lure these bandits in and trigger a self-explosion... With this strategy, we can capture the Water Ghost Pirates in one fell swoop! In the very moment of crisis, the great mother of sores will not just stand by!"

"This... Can this really work?" Huang Youcai glanced at the red bead, then seriously at Li Qingshan, "Brave sir, do you have a family to take care of? I will provide for your wife and children!"

Li Qingshan shook his head, "I have no attachments, all alone in this world, and would die without any regrets!"

"What noble bravery!"

"What noble bravery!"

The locals were utterly astounded that there were people willing to die so selflessly.

Perhaps Pan Hao’s confidence had influenced these gentry; perhaps the name of the great mother of sores had played its part; or perhaps it was Li Qingshan’s influence, but they ultimately did not want to leave their homeland.

Li Qingshan quickly said, "Gentlemen, this plan must not be divulged to the townspeople! I suspect some may have been compromised. The more who know, the worse for us."

"I understand," Huang affirmed with a nod.

Ultimately, the people of Qingshi Town sprang into action.

They grabbed pitchforks, hoes, spears, and other tools as fast as they could, gathering at the town’s gate, setting up barriers like caltrops.

"If only we had a little more time, more spears would have been better," Old Lu lamented as he climbed the city wall, "The people here are full of martial spirit. It’s just that they’re too poor, not even having enough weapons."

...

As the people noisily gathered, a dark shadow swept across the sky.

"Not good, those are Human-faced Eagles!" shouted a sharp-eyed militiaman.

"Human-faced Eagles?"

"They are monsters that specifically feast on humans!"

One after another, gigantic birds with bodies about two meters long and wingspans of possibly four meters, covered in black feathers, soared through the sky. Their sharp, hooked talons were fully capable of crushing human skulls.

The residents of Qingshi Town’s complexions slightly changed.

These were creatures bred by the Water Ghost Pirates for scouting and combat, and at first glance, there appeared to be about twelve.

Not far off, dust swirled, and the sound of hooves approached, with over a hundred bandits riding hundreds of corpse-like, ghastly creatures surging forward.

Pan Hao shouted forcefully: "The Water Ghost Pirates are here!"

"All militiamen assemble! Women and children, hide back at home!"

"Prepare for battle!"

...

...

[Most of the preparations are complete. Water Ghost Pirates, incoming! (*Trigger event)]

"Are these bandits too fierce? They even breed monsters!" Wang Hao commented with interest while looking at the so-called "Human-faced Eagles."

Hmm? It’s a second-dimensional world waiter resembling an anime character, with a human head but eagle’s claws for feet. That’s pretty odd and utterly uninteresting.

"Truly distasteful, only perverts might like it..."

The blue Water Ghosts were indeed hideously grotesque; even beautified, they were rather stomach-turning.

[Faced with the fierce onslaught of the Water Ghost Pirates, are you prepared?]

[1. Think the advantage is with me, why not go straight up with a normal attack?]

[2. Stand on the city wall, hurl Meat Mountain Fat-made Incendiary Bombs, let them witness the power of technology!]

[3. Have the beautiful girls from Earth and Blue Star use the art of seduction, then find a way to promote the ’Light of Righteousness’.]

To deal with this crisis, Wang Hao spent 2.5 points of Power of Illusion to teleport 3 kg of "Meat Mountain Fat Bombs," a large-scale lethal weapon.

That’s a whole 2.5 points of Power of Illusion for just three kilograms!

Regrettably, the price of technological products is just so high.

Luckily, he had a long-term contract with "Moon of Illusion," basically buying a permanent monthly card, giving him 1 point daily, so it wasn’t too painful.

However, faced with these choices, Wang Hao fell deep into thought.

The first two options, at least, had clear strategies.

"The first one won’t work; if I think I have the advantage, it’s bound to go wrong. I can’t handle that kind of jinx!"

"The second option also won’t completely wipe out the enemy. If they see the Incendiary Bombs and can’t handle them, can’t they also escape?"

What does the third option even mean?
