"Is that so?"
Ethan quickly threw off the blanket and shoved aside Daji, who was curled up on top of him for warmth.
Only then did he run out to the balcony of his master bedroom and look in the direction Guard Seven was pointing. Sure enough, he saw a streak of light cut across the horizon.
And that light didn't look like a single lamp, but more like a whole row of lights.
As if… someone was drag racing in midair.
This world had no planes and no cars. How could someone be drag racing in the sky, and with lights at that?
This was way too strange, wasn't it?
Ethan looked completely puzzled.
But even while thinking, he still hurriedly instructed Guard Seven, "Wake up all the citizens and have them prepare to repel the enemy!"
"Yes, Lord!"
Guard Seven accepted the order and immediately ran downstairs.
Meanwhile, Ethan took advantage of the time to stand on the balcony, observing the movement of the distant lights and looking for a way to respond.
Although all of his troops had already been upgraded to level two, he hadn't yet had time to sort out their corresponding equipment and skills. So using this brief window, Ethan quickly learned the [Dragon Bone Bow Crafting Blueprint] he had collected earlier, planning to give each ranged troop a dragon bone bow.
At the very least, it would boost their attack power.
'Learn!'
[Dragon Bone Bow: Although its attack power is inferior to the Enchanted Dragon Bow, its crafting requirements are relatively lower. Both ordinary arrows and enchanted arrows can be used! High-grade beast tendon 110/1, Dragon bone 311/1, Earth-type beast core 423/1, Metal-type beast core 218/1, Wood-type beast core 382/1, Water-type beast core 310/1, Fire-type beast core 127/1, Wind-type beast core 131/1]
The materials required for the dragon bone bow were even more numerous than those for the enchanted dragon bow.
But although it looked like more, it actually lowered the requirements, especially for two particularly special materials. Even Ethan, a so-called rich man of the slums, couldn't easily take those out.
One of them was a dragon's tail, and the other was a five-colored beast core.
Especially the dragon's tail. Up to now, Ethan had only ever seen a single red dragon.
And he had only taken it down thanks to luck. If a few more dragons showed up now, with Ethan's current combat strength, he really wouldn't be confident.
As for the five-colored beast core, although he still had one in his warehouse,
using such a precious material to make equipment for citizens made Ethan a bit reluctant!
[Craft ten Dragon Bone Bows!]
[Dragon Bone Bow +10, High-grade beast tendon -10, Dragon bone -10, Earth-type beast core -10, Metal-type beast core -10, Wood-type beast core -10, Water-type beast core -10, Fire-type beast core -10, Wind-type beast core -10]
Immediately after, ten snow-white longbows appeared in Ethan's warehouse.
He took one out and looked at it. The dragon bow looked as if it were carved from white jade, pure white all over, but five different beast cores were embedded along the bow body, making it extremely beautiful.
Ethan tested it a bit. He took out an enchanted Wind Arrow and shot it toward the flickering lights in the night sky with the dragon bone bow.
Whoosh!
The wind arrow, carrying a wisp of breeze, instantly disappeared into the night sky.
Its attack power really wasn't much lower than his enchanted dragon bow. Giving this kind of thing to citizens was more than sufficient.
But just as Ethan was about to go downstairs and hand these dragon bows to the citizens, a sharp gust of wind suddenly swept through the sky, accompanied by several whistling sounds.
Whoosh!
Ethan looked up. Only then did he finally see that the row of lights in the distance weren't lights at all.
They were a group of witches' brooms, slicing through the night sky and igniting the air, producing scattered sparks. From afar, they looked like meteors streaking across the sky. But the witches riding on the brooms made Ethan feel as if meteors were about to crash straight into his home.
He had originally thought, that the witch's sister would at least come looking for him a few days later. Who would've thought that this old witch wouldn't even hold a grudge overnight and would kill her way over in a single night.
"Holy shit!"
Ethan was completely speechless at this point.
He would rather face red dragons, black dragons, white dragons, blue dragons released by the mastermind behind the scenes, than face a group of witches.
You had to know, Ethan's troops were only level two.
Facing physical-attack monsters, they might not even be able to win, and now going up against high-level magic users was basically delivering themselves as free kills, wasn't it?
"3A007888, the coordinates are right here!"
A witch above Ethan's head let out a loud laugh and said, "I didn't expect it to just be a tiny little lord. Very good. Today I'll make everyone in his entire territory pay with their lives."
"I'll let them know the consequences of harming our witches!"
"Kill!"
All the witches simultaneously raised their magic staffs and stared straight at the villa beneath Ethan.
At this moment, all the citizens inside the villa had already gathered in the garden under Ethan's orders, waiting for their lord's instructions.
But now, they had clearly also heard the voices coming from the witches in midair. One by one, they raised their heads, looking at the witches above, completely at a loss!
"Dodge!"
With no other choice, Ethan shouted down at the citizens, "Everyone find cover and hide! Now!"
"Oh? Isn't this the little lord?"
A witch with an extremely ugly face stared deathly at Ethan, who was shouting on the balcony. Her voice suddenly shifted seamlessly from female to male as she said, "You're the one who killed my sister, right? I can even smell my sister's blood on you!"
"You damned little bug. Let's see how I don't kill you today!"
"Kill!!"
Hearing this, the witches riding brooms above all pointed their magic staffs at Ethan.
Ethan roughly counted the witches in the sky. There were at least five. Facing this kind of lineup, he genuinely felt powerless.
After all, even against a single happy rich lady before, he had already been barely holding on.
Let alone five angry rich ladies…
'Heh!'
Last time, Ethan relied on the werewolf's blessing. Unfortunately, that was a one-time defensive item, and now he almost had nothing left to save his life.
This time, he was probably dead for sure.
'Looks like using too much luck will eventually run out one day.'
Ethan never imagined that one day, he would actually be tortured to death by a group of rich women.
"Stop!"
However, at this moment, the leading witch suddenly raised her hand and said, "This damned little bug must be dealt with personally by me."
"I don't want him to die so easily. I want to turn him into the most disgusting slime monster that will never die, tormenting it every day, ravaging it day after day, so that it can never reincarnate, and forever remember the consequences of killing my sister."
