Plotting against the villagers

1065 Words
Just when the villagers are going to go into a panic, once again the announcer calls out to them. “Everyone! Don’t be panic? Are you forgetting that we now have the hero with us? He will help us in this dire situation!” The announcer who seemed to be the village’s head looked into Clyde's direction and he immediately flustered. “Ah, ah yes. I am here to help! After all, I grow up in this village and I will try to protect everyone.” Clyde still shows some naivety due to his young age but he didn’t shrink away from responsibilities. It could be said that this is the first battlefield where the hero will make his debut. “Heh. You all can think of it that way but I clearly remembered what happened. A lot of casualties happened and only one-third of the village residents survived. However, due to the guilt, Clyde actually brings these people as his first allies. It is easy for me to make sure that I will be able to get in.” Although Lance's current body isn’t optimal, he still has the ability to make sure that he survived. His former demon king body is gone but his ability and experience aren’t. Although he couldn’t unleash all of it right now, he will be able to eventually. Looking at the villagers that are still in a panicked state, Clyde stepped forward to take control of the situation. “Oh, look at that, his hero quality is already showing.” Lance is assessing the situation calmly. “Everyone, stay calm. Let me go out and handle the monsters.” Clyde also brandishes the holy sword on his waist upwards to rally the spirit of the people. “I remember reading the report from my subordinate that this battle is where Clyde as an inexperienced hero makes his first mistake. When he is going out to handle the monster, as the number is numerous, some of the monsters actually breach through the rear entrance of the village. Hmm. I wonder what should I do? Should I save the villager here?” Taking a quick glance at the people in the village, Lance can quickly see the people are divided into three groups. Firstly, the human side of the village that is grouping towards Clyde and the village head. Secondly, the group of other humans that is on the opposite side with the village head. Thirdly and the last group is the slaves and the halflings. Since a long time ago, the halflings are considered to be standing below the humans. It was often caused since the halflings are a result of human nobles that is having an illicit relationship with their slave from another race. Looking at that, Lance immediately has an idea on his head. “How about I save the halflings group? I remember the report said that it was the village’s head side that survived the last time. This time, I will protect the halflings and lead them later into Clyde's group. As Clyde is a human, they will basically have resistance towards him. I can train them later to be my underlings and causing trouble for Clyde later on. Hahaha. What a great plan. Now, let’s make sure that the plan is flowing perfectly.” Quietly Lance slipped out from the crowd to look at the situation of the monsters. At that time, Clyde also goes out from the village, following the village’s sentry lead and climb up the watchtower of the village. In the distance, a cloud of dust can be seen behind a group of monsters that are now running towards the village in a horde. “Wild boar, horned rabbit, and a couple of goblins. I could easily blow them away with a wave of my hand when I was a demon king but right now, I think it might be hard to do just to clear this wave even if I use every power in this body right now.” Lance looked at the monster’s movement and deciding on what to do. “I don’t know whether this will have an adverse effect but I don’t really care.” Lance lifts up his index finger and a drop of blood suddenly comes out from the tip. The moment the drop of blood comes out from his fingertips, the activity of the monsters in the distance seemed to be increased as if they are enticed by something. Without everyone knowing, the drop of blood split up into two and headed towards a different direction. One of them is heading towards the village’s head and landed on top of his head without him noticing it as he is focused on watching the approaching monsters. The second drop of blood goes to the second group of humans in the village while none goes towards the slaves and halflings group. Lance then looked towards Clyde to see what he will do next. “As I guess, he didn’t disappoint me.” Following his moves from the previous life, Clyde once again seemed to decide to rush out towards the monster horde. “To be honest, it is crazy at how a teenage boy who suddenly awakened to his ability by pulling out the holy sword and the next thing that happened is that he is diving headfirst towards a monster horde.” There is a reason why the hero is chosen on. His physical ability that is off the chart, respected gazes from the people but most importantly is they seemed to be blessed by the gods. Every time they seemed to be in a perilous situation, there is just a miraculous way for them to pull through. Just look at the current situation. Logically there would be no way for a teenage boy with a sword to defeat thousands of monsters. However, once the God’s blessings are mentioned, everything is possible. “I don’t even know if God really exists or not since I am the demon king. However, for me to be reincarnated and have a chance for revenge, I want to believe that God exists. Evil God that is.”
