CHAPTER 771: CHAPTER 385: LORD, THIS IS TOO INSANE - PART 2

"Let’s leave it at that for now!"

Upon hearing Wolf say this, Norris’s mind conjured up Zhou Bai’s image. At the moment, he was only intimidated by the might of Hope Village and harbored no thoughts of betraying Fasal Village. Hence, when Wolf inquired, he quickly relayed the situation.

"There’s a woman in the rear of Hope Village protected by a group of undead. She must be the commander of Hope Village this time. If we take our troops to attack her and threaten her safety, only then might the main force of Hope Village be drawn over, buying us some time for our territory," Worley explained eloquently.

"Male or female?" asked Wolf, his eyes shifting slightly.

"Female."

"Then it must be her," he said, his eyes gleaming with a hint of ruthlessness.

Obviously, he also harbored deep hatred for Zhou Bai.

He would not forget the last time he visited Hope Village only to be ambushed and beaten with a sack thrown over his head.

It had been Zhou Bai who tipped them off.

Afterward, he deduced from the beating that it must have been the group of beastmen who hit him.

The attack strength of beastmen is not the same as that of humans.

At that time in Hope Village, there were no humans capable of doubling their attack strength, so it had to have been the beastmen.

Just when Hope Village attacked earlier, he had made sure to check that she wasn’t among the leaders; unexpectedly, she was hiding in the rear.

At that moment, an idea arose in Wolf’s mind.

Kill her!

Killing Zhou Bai would not only solve the trouble for Fasal Village but also avenge his previous humiliation.

Of course, if that proved impossible... he would ensure their adversaries suffered irreversibly.

At that moment, Wolf was excited.

Seeing him like this, Worley and Norris couldn’t help but feel stunned.

Their Lord’s emotions seemed slightly off, almost as if a fierce beast had been unleashed.

However, this was the Lord they knew on normal days.

It was the seemingly calm Lord that truly terrified them.

"That is Zhou Bai, the Hope Village Chief, and a very important figure in Hope Village. I will provide both of you with Platinum Level weapons and other secret equipment. You will lead a team to launch a surprise attack on their rear. Your goal is to kill her at all costs, including your own lives," Wolf commanded directly.

Upon hearing the last sentence, Worley and Norris’s faces changed. They were being sent to their deaths!

Norris was somewhat annoyed; he shouldn’t have mentioned it.

"I will take good care of your families," Wolf added at that moment.

With those words, he effectively manipulated Worley and Norris.

Their expressions grew despondent, their families were still in Fasal Village!

The Lord was merely using their lives as leverage.

This mission, they had to go whether they wanted to or not.

"Yes," was all both could utter in the end.

Nicholas heard this and looked at them with sympathy, but he was powerless; he was more concerned with protecting himself!

Immediately after, Wolf waved them away to prepare, while he also began searching for suitable weapons and equipment.

Since he was sending his men to kill Zhou Bai, naturally, he needed to offer them something substantial.

The items in his possession might struggle against four thousand professionals, but against just one person, they should be more than adequate.

Watching Wolf busily selecting weapons, Nicholas took the opportunity to leave.

He seemed to have figured out what his Lord intended to do.

With that in mind, he also needed to ensure he carried his savings with him all these years.

Just as Nicholas hurried home to retrieve his possessions and return to his post, he was intercepted by Worley and Norris.

"You went home to get your valuables, didn’t you?" Worley asked directly.

For most people, besides a few crucial weapons, they generally didn’t carry many valuables on them, especially when tasked with a mission.

Usually, they would leave some in the care of their families or in hidden places.

But Nicholas was a loner, surely keeping everything at home.

Returning at such a critical moment of battle to fetch his possessions, Nicholas definitely had plans of his own.
