Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Village's Valor pr Part 2
"Yeah, count me in, I can hunt, I can kill!"
"When I was starving on the streets, thinking I\'d die there, it was Mr. Nathan who fed me. Now I\'ve got a house, some good land, and I wake up to the sounds of chickens and ducks. My wife gave me three kids, I\'ve lived a full life. Mr. Nathan, it\'s time I repay you!"
Gratitude Village was noisy, but Nathan wasn\'t bothered; his eyes were red.
Just before, his wife had asked if he could win this time, and he was scared, scared that a moment of recklessness could destroy decades of the Blackwood family\'s hard work.
But now...
He wasn\'t afraid!
Remembering his life, he was just a slave, never imagining he\'d see this day.
But blessed by the Forebearer, he learned to cultivate psychic powers, could hunt in the mountains, fill his belly, no longer under anyone\'s thumb.
He married the best girl in the world, had kids that made him feel his life wasn\'t wasted, and two well-behaved grandkids.
And there was Gratitude Village.
Their kindness that day, these good villagers ready to face death with him.
He had a life beyond what most dare dream of, surrounded by people who supported him, what was there to fear?
At that moment,
Nathan\'s eyes narrowed, he found the feeling he had on his first hunt, facing those fierce beasts!
"Ha ha ha!"
"Alright!"
Nathan raised his arm, "Folks of Gratitude Village, laugh if you will, but I, Nathan, just a country bumpkin, I get scared too. Seeing you all here tonight, shouting your support, I realized I\'m really getting old!"
"To hell with Forest Town!"
"To hell with the Gonzalezes and Garcias!"
"Grab your weapons, folks, I\'m not looking back. I want their blood to pave our way forward!"
The stars were bright, the moon clear.
All of Gratitude Village shouted along with the Blackwoods.
Their torches almost turned the night bright red.
The Martinez family, slowly recovering from their injuries, were stunned by the fervor of these ordinary people, enough to scare a Psychic!
The old patriarch of the Martinez family let out a breath, "Get ready, we\'re heading to Pine Town with the Blackwoods!"
Hearing this,Jerry hesitated, "Grandpa, our Martinez family is so few..."
But before he could finish, the old patriarch slapped him across the face.
"Are we, the Martinez family, less spirited than these villagers?"
Jerry dared not say more.
The elder of the Martinez family then smiled, looking at the still shouting Blackwoods and the villagers of Gratitude Village, "I take back what I said before, this..."
"This is the true spirit of the Blackwoods!"
[Congratulations, Blackwood has earned the loyalty of all the villagers of Gratitude Village, who are willing to die for Blackwood!]
[Earned Spiritual Tribute +300!]
[Your descendant Nathan, beloved by the people, has won the faith of the villagers of Gratitude Village, earning the trait: Hope of the Village]
[When fighting for the family\'s power, combat power +20!]
In front of the screen, Ethan was watching everything about the family.
He was also fired up, having never considered the villagers of Gratitude Village as a fighting force until now, he realized that Blackwood had already earned the loyalty of the entire village!
This battle for the family\'s fortune was not just Blackwood fighting, but also three thousand villagers!
"What\'s there to fear from Gonzalez and Garcia? Let\'s do this, kick their butts!"
"Ding-dong."
Caught up in the excitement.
His phone rang, a message from school asking why he was late, and looking outside, he realized he had been playing the game for two days.
Just thinking about shutting down, his teacher\'s call came.
"Ethan, has something happened at home? Even so, don\'t drop out of school, only by studying hard can you change your life..."
"Sorry, teacher, please help me drop out, don\'t you think it\'s a waste of time for someone with my abilities to still be in school? Can\'t talk now, busy with big things, I\'ll have someone handle the withdrawal procedures later."
"What nonsense are you talking..."
The teacher didn\'t finish speaking, Ethan had already hung up the phone, and turned off his mobile.
Screw school.
As the ancestor of Blackwood, I\'m going to lead my family to a glorious battle!
...
Ethan was intently focused on the screen. As time sped up, the once bustling Gratitude Village gradually quieted down. Normally, it was the men who took their families to farm or raised chickens and ducks on the streets.
But now.
Only the elderly, women, and children could be seen in the village. Some women were even sharpening knives at their doorsteps, guarding their homes.
In the entire Blackwood, only a group of maids were guarding the carriages, with the Marcus brothers sitting atop them.
"Brother, don\'t be afraid. The Forebearer has always been protecting us Blackwoods. Our family will surely return safely," Marcus said, patting his brother\'s head.
Suddenly.
He and Daniel were both startled as they looked towards the direction of the ancestral hall.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion sounded, and a massive object burst from the ground, shining brilliantly under the daylight!
"This is... the Forebearer showing his powers!"
Marcus was right!
Ethan had manifested his powers!
Now, he was sitting in a room, staring at a 500-inch screen, his eyes white, his expression solemn, his hands on the keyboard and mouse, ready to act.
[You are now operating the War AI Bionic Robot.]
[Check, arm function 100%, laser cannon charge 100%, laser sword 100%, war barrier ready to activate...]
[Psychic power consumption low energy mode activated, psychic power reserve—99%!]
Ethan had used the War AI Bionic Robot to wander in this world before.
But this time, it was his very first real combat operation!
"Open the map!"
With a click, a map appeared in the top right corner.
Thousands of small green dots had already appeared around the [Forest Town] map, with Blackwood\'s team having gone to Forest Town before him!
He focused on the location of Gonzalez on the map.
"It\'s you guys!"
Ethan\'s eyes narrowed slightly, the psychic powers on the War AI Bionic Robot activated instantly, and with tail fins, it headed towards Gonzalez!
The war had not yet started, but the strongest had already moved.
He planned to use the War AI Bionic Robot to attract the attention of all the experts in the town of Gonzalez for Blackwood!
In the heart of Forest Town.
In the Garcia hall, masters from the Forest Heath and Gonzalez families were seated.
The heads of both families were sharing tea, smiles on their faces.
