Shami came to inspect the Slimes being trained in combat special training by Jelly.
The Slimes were neatly lined up, welcoming Shami's arrival, with a red carpet laid on the path to the lectern.
"Jelly, since when did you get into formalism? If you don't train them to my satisfaction, prepare to be replaced."
Shami's criticism made the adorable big Slime nervous.
[Slime combat power test, begin.]
[Matching a suitable village or adventurer group.]
Using the Teleportation Gate, Shami led the Slimes to a village, which, although called a village, was surrounded by two-meter-high walls.
This was a village with a fierce populace, located on the border of the Wus Kingdom. The initial founders of this village were exiled criminals. Over the years, with more and more escapees, heinous villains, and fugitives joining, the village expanded.
The villagers here, besides farming, planting, and digging potatoes, had fighting and caring for each other's families as their daily routine.
Because fierce beasts like wolves frequently appeared around the village, the villagers even divided themselves into different roles for defense.
In short, the villagers of the entire village had formed a strange symbiotic relationship due to the need to resist beasts and their shared history of exile.
"This is the place. It's rated as one of the seven fiercest villages in the Wus Kingdom, Amynos Village. The combat strength of the entire village is no less than two gold-ranked mercenary groups and has once repelled a surge of goblins. If the Slimes can overtake this village, it indicates they can stand alone."
Shami glanced at Jelly beside him, then stood back, no longer intervening in the battle.
There were over a hundred villagers with combat capabilities in Amynos Village, while the number of Slimes was only half.
Shami used his perception ability to sense the situation of the entire village. There wasn't a single female villager, and motivational signboards were hanging all around the village.
[If you don't strive, others will step over you!]; [Soon, you'll see the backs of those who bullied you!]; [Being too frail will just make you a pretty boy!]
Shami blinked in confusion.
"I always feel something's off. - But one thing's for sure, there's no decent folks in this village."
As the leader, Jelly stepped forward first, leading the Slime squad, marching grandly towards the village.
Before they got close to the village, the Slimes were discovered, and alarms sounded in the village as the villagers pulled out their gear and walked outside.
These villagers had dark skin, prominent muscles, almost all with scars on their bodies, fierce and intimidating, exuding a villainous aura.
"Damn Slimes!"
"Don't get so excited, let's talk after we catch the Slimes."
"Slimes! The last time I tasted monster flavors was during the Luwaka era when we had the goblin tide. We dragged them into the village, and I got one."
The fierce-looking villagers glared, licking their lips while eyeing the Slimes.
Shami swallowed nervously.
Tasting goblins? Do they mean eating, or that? either way is hard to accept!
"The things those people say feel really off, Jelly, do your best. If you get caught and locked in the village's closet, I won't save you."
"Form ranks, prepare to capture Slimes!"
As expected from a village with a fierce style, what started as a Slime invasion turned into a scene of villagers capturing Slimes.
With the appearance of a villager, likely the village chief, standing two meters tall and carrying a bow, villagers wielding various weapons, with primitive role divisions, split into five teams and advanced towards the Slimes.
Under Jelly's command, the Slimes also formed into five rows.
"Are they planning a direct column-to-column confrontation? The tactics are lousy."
Shami frowned.
In the sound of the village invasion alarm,
five ordinary Slimes stepped forward, starting to spray Slime Liquid at the villagers.
"So these are Slime Shooters, using Slime Liquid as a kind of long-range weapon, purposefully launching attacks?"
Shami nodded in understanding, then looked towards the villagers and was quickly surprised.
"This is?!"
Five villagers holding iron grid doors steady moved forward step by step, and all the Slime Liquid landed on the iron grid doors, causing no harm to the villagers behind.
"It's actually [Villager·Iron Grid Door Villagers], worthy of Amynos Village, with distinct roles among villagers! This way, the Slime Liquid damage is completely blocked!"
Jelly commanded.
The Single-shot Slime Shooters turned into Double-shot Slime Shooters, spraying two lumps of Slime Liquid at once.
"What did you command? Even this has very limited effects! In turn-based games, you'd just waste a turn, you fool!"
Shami frowned.
At this moment,
three Slimes bounced in front of the Double-shot Slimes, puffing up their bodies, hardening to block the [Iron Grid Door·Villagers]'s advance.
"It's [Stone Slime]! By swallowing stones in advance, they can compress the stones to the front of their bodies when needed to form a considerable shield? But why are there only three in five rows?"
Shami looked puzzled towards the Slime Base Camp.
Some Slimes were feeding stones to the Slimes lying on the ground.
"So they're being made on the spot! The enemies have reached halfway! Both top and bottom lanes can't be defended anymore!"
Shami loudly complained.
Just as Shami was complaining, several figures leaped over the middle [Stone Slimes], with three villagers using sugar cane sticks to pole vaulting towards the nearby shooter Slimes.
Just as the shooter Slimes were about to be taken out by villagers, three giant Slimes jumped up, using their weight to press the villagers hard onto the ground.
"It's [Pole·Villagers] and [Pumpkin Slime]! You're playing so extreme, Jelly?"
Shami stuffed a red fruit picked from the tree in the Demon Realm into his mouth, watching the battlefield with relish.
"Village chief, you're an idiot, what kind of crappy tactics, can't even deal with Slimes."
"I #!ing got pinned by a Slime, hurry up and help me, where's my teammates!"
"Reck, are you an orphan, didn't you see they need help over here!"
"You
○
are
dead."
The Slimes continued to resist fiercely, while in Amynos Village, the villagers began interacting.
"They weren't ordinary Slimes after all."
Amynos Village's chief, the two-meter-tall archer Kaban, had a darkened forehead.
The tactics that once resisted the goblin tide were failing?
Previously, [Iron Grid Door·Villagers] would lead, blocking the goblins' long-range spear attacks, then [Pole·Villagers] quickly approached the goblins, disrupting their formation from behind.
The goblin group would instantly collapse, losing combat power.
But now, they were completely held back by the Slimes!
However, Kaban was used to the villagers' curses and insults, showing no emotional fluctuation.
You can't expect much quality from a village composed entirely of exiled escapees.
"You guys are a bunch of useless fools, blaming my tactics when you can't even handle Slimes?"
Kaban had a villager bring a flag, kicked it ahead, then drew a bow on his longbow.
"Full assault! Capture the Slimes alive! A sleepless night for all! Anyone found not trying their hardest will end up like the Slimes!"
Even while cursing each other, the Amynos Village villagers were strangely in sync, living in the same village.
Even if minor incidents like villagers being found at the lake bottom happened occasionally, when facing external invasions, the villagers knew it wasn't the time for internal conflict.
Shouts echoed through the sky.
While cursing each other, villagers grabbed whatever weapons they had and charged at the Slimes, intent on using their numerical advantage to crush the Slimes.
[A large wave of villagers is coming!]
