The village chief, Lune, Towarta, Ari, and the villagers gathered at the village chief's house. They wanted to know how the adventurers would proceed with their quest.
It is true that not all the villagers had time to attend this strategic discussion meeting, but their number was large enough to fill the village head's house, which in fact the house was neither big nor small.
"Before making plans, we need to know from which direction the enemy is attacking, an obvious question, right?"
"Yes"
The village head took out a map from under the table, it was a map that depicted the entire area of Tice Village.
Ari saw his father take out a map, he immediately understood that his father would need a pencil to mark the map. And the village head thus took the pencil that Ari gave him.
"The monsters usually attack from the west, the hordes from the west are usually large, but if you look closely... The largest mob is the weakest mob, the mob contains medium-sized monsters with insect-like forms"
"Chitter?"
"That's right, the insect monster that many people know for its behavior of often stealing crops"
The village head marked the western area on the map, he circled the area where they appeared.
"The chitters appeared all at once, they couldn't have appeared alone. And from what I saw, they moved in such an organized manner... As if someone was leading them"
"You seem to know about this, village chief."
"Yes, I am a former adventurer who is now the village chief"
Towarta nodded, no wonder he talked so much with his discussion so neat on this matter
"After that there were two—
"And there were two more groups! To the east!"
"Ari, don't interrupt me"
"Sorry, Dad..."
Ari answered while smiling shyly.
"She's a cheerful woman, sorry"
"It's okay, please continue"
"As Ari said, to the east there are two more groups. The attacking group and the leader group. The attacking group was relatively small, but they were quite a hassle for us to deal with with the equipment we had"
"The attacking group is filled by SkitterSickle"
A monster with a shape like a mantis insect But with the size of a teenage human being. With different color variations but with the same weapon, namely a sickle in their hands.
"And the leader of all their groups, GoliathBeetle"
A fairly large monster, shaped like a horned beetle but with the addition of thick hard skin. They rarely use weapons, they are hand to hand fighters.
After all, the monsters that attacked Tice Village were insect-like monsters. Actually, they weren't monsters, but rather a race other than humans. But humans usually categorize them as monsters if they are mindless or attack humans. This also applies to humans if they attack other races, other races will also identify humans as monsters if they do so
But all of that is just a term that can appear if one race is harmed, basically they are just different race.
A real monster is a creature that is truly like an animal.
"Two-way attack... The conditions are perfect for the two of us, Me and Towarta."
"But, what's the strategy? This is a strategy meeting, right? Everything the village head discussed is already listed on the quest sheet, why discuss it again? Well, except for the direction of their attack"
"Really? I forgot about that"
The villagers who were there all together clapped their heads so that a clear clapping sound could be heard.
"Alright, alright, alright. It seems the village chief's age really does affect his memory, maybe just a little or something, whatever"
Said one of the villagers here and he came forward to the table
"Introduction, my name is Arte. I am one of the adventurers who live in this village.
Towarta just nodded while Lune immediately puffed out his chest and stand up straight
"It's an honor to meet the adventurers of this village! I am Lune, the Golden Axe! And this is Towarta, the Red Wing"
"I'm Towarta, nice to meet you"
"Towarta! Why is your answer so flat?! Gosh, come on, cheer up a bit!"
"That's okay, everyone has their own character"
Arte stepped forward again, getting closer to the table.
"I have plans, can I?"
"Of course! Please share your ideas, Towarta and I will listen to you carefully!
"Thank you, so it's as the village chief and Ari said. The enemy attack is coming from two directions, west and east. My plan is to place one of you in the west or east."
"Then I'll take the West side, I want to fight their leader! My golden axe and I will not let you or this village down!"
"Then the west side will be the attacking team, and the east side will be the defending team, considering that the east side is where the harvest land is."
"Then I'm the eastern part?"
"Right, Lune will take the west direction."
"Then fine, I will be the harvest land but what about the people?"
"I'll take care of them, you two can focus on your part. You two can count on me when it comes to protecting! My job is a Tank"
"What a relief! We both believe in you, Arte!"
"Well then, the plan is set, now we just need to wait for nightfall. The time they will attack is uncertain, so stay awake during the night."
Ari raised his hand, and immediately added
"The villagers will evacuate to the refugee camp in this village, this refugee camp is located south of the village. You can meet me and the others when your task is finished."
The Tice Village refugee camp is quite simple, their refugee camp is underground with the entrance marked by a windmill. The entrance to their refugee camp was right under the windmill, the windmill was surrounded by rice fields, making it look like it was just an ordinary windmill.
"The strategy meeting is over, you may disband then. Thank you to all the residents who have been here."
"The meeting was quite simple, why did the villagers come too?"
Ask Towarta to the village head
"They just want to know how you plan to protect this village, will it be full of traps or full of fighting? They will immediately understand just by the result, even like this. Tonight will be straight to the fight"
Towarta didn't answer, he immediately turned around and left the village head's house, leaving the others behind.
"Towarta... It seems he has quite a big ego or something beside that"
Lune said in a tone that clearly sounded confused.
How could his attitude be like that? I hope nothing bad happens to him that makes him act like that.
