"Very good, the villagers have also organized themselves. No matter what evil spirits they have, let's do something great together!"

Looking at the villagers who had organized themselves spontaneously and picked up weapons, Dixia stretched his body and said in a very heroic voice.

But Seno on the side poured cold water on him mercilessly, "It is true that they organized themselves spontaneously, but they are not necessarily here to help you."

"What do you mean?" The chubby Dixia didn't quite understand.

But before Seno could answer, the villagers outside the house were already pounding on the flimsy wooden door angrily and anxiously.

Bang! Bang! Bang... The rapid knocks on the door sounded like the beat of a death drum.

"Candice! As the guardian of Aru Village, it is your duty to protect Aru Village! How could you do this!?" The voice of the villager outside the house was full of strong accusation.

It was as if Candice had abandoned them and deserted.

Dixia couldn't stand such a tone. Without waiting for the villagers to rush in, he opened the wooden door in a hurry.

The uncle who led the charge to break the door didn't react in time, staggered and fell into the door, and was kicked back by Dixia.

This uncle is about fifty years old. Although he is over half a century old, he is still considered young in an environment like Aru Village.

When he was young, he had thought about going out to explore the world, but he was not smart enough to go to Xumi, the city of knowledge, and he was not brave enough to go to the desert.

So in the end, he just stayed in Aru Village, a village with no future, doing nothing, numbing himself with alcohol all day long. Of course, even the alcohol he drank was the cheapest.

Apart from the elderly and children, what Aru Village probably has the most is this kind of waste.

"How could you do that? Tell me what she did. Did she fight those monsters for you?

He was seriously injured, and what did you do? You just hid at home and watched, and you still have the guts to come here and call me to task!"

Dishia roared like an angry lion.

This made the crowd timid, after all, in their impression, they were facing a gentle and kind Candice. But they didn't say they would have to face this lion-like woman.

But even though they may be timid, this is a matter of life and death. They cannot afford to retreat!

So the middle-aged uncle who was kicked, still smelling heavily of alcohol, said: "What are you doing? Uncle Anpu, the village chief, has already said that Lord Mishal has no intention of killing us.

He just needs to use our land to transport food, and after Lord Mishal successfully defeats the Order, our village will also have a better future and destination.

You keep saying that you are doing this for the good of the village, but in the name of the protector you betrayed the village and rejected the kindness of Master Mishal. You are clearly a member of the Order!

I saw it when they allowed merchants from Xumi to come and trade. They kept saying it was for the good of the village. But it was obvious that they were selling out the village to the Ministry of Education!

Look at all those lunatics exiled here. The House of Lords has long regarded this place as a trash can. Only Lord Mishal can give us a future.

You tried every possible means to stop it. You are a traitor to the village! A lackey of the Order!"

The drunk uncle said something extremely unpleasant, like a sharp arrow piercing Candice's heart. Seeing this, how could Dixia bear it?

The punch hit the uncle's mouth hard, breaking his front teeth and causing blood to flow from his lips and nose.

But Dixia's punch might be able to shut up one person, but it couldn't shut up everyone in the village, young and old.

"Traitor! Traitor! Traitor..." the villagers shouted, and even the children who knew nothing joined in the fun and shouted in unison with the adults.

I completely forgot who has been protecting the safety of this precarious place, Aru Village, for so many years.

"Enough! Shut up!" The irritable Dixia wanted to punch each of the villagers to make them shut up.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately hid in the crowd, fearing that he would be hit again. But Dixia was still stopped by Candice.

"So what do you all want to do now?" Candice, who should have been the most heartbroken, spoke unusually calmly.

Seeing that the irritable lion Dixia was stopped, the middle-aged uncle became energetic again and said quietly: "As long as we hand over the culprit Candice to Lord Mishal, he will definitely forgive her and even..."

"If you catch my people, you can get a more generous reward?" Candice's eyes suddenly became sharp.

This sudden change in her expression made the middle-aged man retreat several steps in fear. But it was obvious that Candice would not attack ordinary people like them.

He just said with a firm look in his eyes: "I have protected Aru Village for ten years. During these ten years, whether it was monsters in the desert or bandits from other places, I always risked my life to keep them out of the village.

Could it be that ten years of living together was not as good as a word from Mishal, who had already done so many evil things? Could there be a single word of truth from him?

How could such a massive war between the desert and the rainforest be ended overnight? From now on, our lives will be precarious and we will be displaced.

You guys are not young anymore and you even have children. Can you really survive the war?"

……

Under Candice's questioning, the villagers became agitated. Yes, how credible can the words of a murderous madman be?

"But what can we do? You can't defeat him. You are already seriously injured." The villagers' attitude softened.

But the alienated desert mercenaries outside the village had already broken through the defenses of the outermost crazy scholars and were rushing towards the place where the villagers gathered with strong murderous intent.

"Quick! Quick! Quick! It's too late! Capture Candice! Beg for Lord Mishal's forgiveness, then we can have a chance to save our lives!"

Perhaps if the villagers had enough time they could still think calmly, but at this critical moment, there was no chance for any careful consideration.

Just like when you are drowning, you will desperately want to grab that straw above the water, no matter if it works or not.

The villagers rushed forward to capture Candice, but at this critical moment, a very heroic laugh was heard.

Hahahaha! Although this laugh was extremely heroic, it also felt a bit helpless and painful in this situation.

Along with the laughter, an unusually tall man with white hair and a red vest appeared.

"Myōboku-san, Master Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, is here!"
