5. The Crisis

Noel made his way towards the edge of the village together with the 15 spear-wielders and 5 archers. They all had their weapon tips dipped in poison. Especially the arrows were dipped and each archer had about 20 arrows with them.

Noel took one of the bows and a special arrow as he waited for the incoming wolves. When the wolves were about 20 meters away from the village they stopped. And out of the pack came a wolf about 2x larger than the others.

[Alpha Wolf Lvl:15

Hp: 1000

Atk:30

Dex:30

Def:15]

The spearmen squads got ready near the edge of the wooden spikes which were slanted and pointed at the wolves. Noel was staring at the Alpha Wolf as he analyzed its stats and the remaining wolf were between Lvl:9 to Lvl:12.

The stare-off was for about 15 seconds as the alpha howled out loud. AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! To which the wolves started running towards the wooden spikes. As they neared the spikes and the trench that was a meter deep they tried to jump over the trench and land near the space between the spikes and the trench.

It was at this moment Noel without hesitation lit the arrowhead on fire with the fire torch that was prepared along with each of the other archers lighting up a fire arrow and with a command from Noel they pulled the string and shot the arrows into the different parts of the trench.

*Swoooossshhhhhh* *Clink*

*Blaaarrrreeeee*(Flame Noises)

The arrow hit the trench exactly where the black ores which when subjected to fire burn up and produce intense flames. The flames sprang up to 3m in height just at the right to hit the first 10 wolves that jumped to avoid the trench. These ores are commonplace in the game as it is used as a heat source in his past life. But without the [Inspect] ability it was hard to know what item is what and it took some experimentation in the past days to determine the ore was the known [BlackIgnite].

The wolves were caught off guard as the flames hit them and as they lost their balance most of the wolves hit the wooden spikes and got skewered into them and died with just a few left heavily breathing with heavy injuries.

Looking at its pack front runner's dead, Krieger got furious and came forward and lead the pack. Flames died down and were not as intense as before but were still burning up in the trench as the whole trench around the village was lit up and burning like a ring of fire.

Noel purposefully made the trench and the wooden spikes have enough space for the wolves to stand so that they will have their backs to a pit of fire and their fronts to have sharp spikes and spearmen waiting to stab or push them into the pit of fire.

Krieger let out a loud howl and jumped past the trench, He landed in between and smashed the spikes in front of him. Noel shot another arrow at Kreiger, gave the bow back to the archer, and started running towards him with his spear in his hand.

Kreiger dodged the arrow by sidestepping skillfully. And started charging towards Noel who pulled the aggro after snarling to command its wolves to follow its lead to attack the village.

Noel narrowed his eyes as he saw the Wolf dodge his arrow and charge towards him. He made a quick right turn and led Krieger away from others. When he saw that there was about 10m distance between Krieger and the villagers he stopped running as he turned back and held his stance.

Krieger also stopped and started snarling at Noel. Both of them looked at each other in the eye and Krieger pounced at Noel aiming to bite the neck. Noel bashed his base of the spear at the wolf with an anti-clockwise rotation as he sidestepped to the right.

-50

Then lunged forward while giving the Wolf a thrust of his spear which hit right in its abdomen.

-250

Pulling back quickly he tried to dodge the incoming claw swipe but the claw was faster as it hit him on his left side for -200 Dmg. Noel rolled off to the side and got up again as an arrow swept past him hit the wolf right in the Eye.

-250

Noel was startled by the arrow and the aim when he found out that it was shot by Cana who was aiming her second arrow at the wolf.

Krieger went into Berserk Mode which any animal on the verge of death goes. He was quicker and stronger now as he looks with his last eye towards Cana.

Noel knew what the wolf was going to do as he mustered up his strength and blocked the wolf's path. He knew the wolf was aiming for Cana so he had to stop the wolf here or things might go bad.

With the wolf charging towards him, Noel Kept his calm as he motioned himself to execute Eagle Eye.

His view suddenly changed as he could see 3 glowing Red marks on its body. With his stance and breathing in tune. Noel dodged the wolf to the left and went in for a Triple Strike with 3 quick thrusts that each success full hit their intended targets.

1 Strike for the Left Eye -100

1 Strike for the Heart - 150

1 Strike for the Abdomen -200

Krieger moved a little bit more due to momentum by ultimately died after a few steps and dropped down.

[You have Leveled up to 6]

[You have Leveled up to 7]

[You have Leveled up to 8]

[You have Leveled up to 9]

Hearing the Level Up Notifications Noel didn't look back at Krieger and made his way towards the other wolves besieging the villagers. Although it took some more effort, no casualties were found and only 1 Spearman had a heavy injury with the rest sustaining some minor injuries.

Due to the Level Up, Noel recovered his Lost HP. And Almost most of the villagers who participated went up a Level. Everyone was recovering and was waiting for lunch after the hard-fought victory against the wolves.

Noel collected the loot drops and he got,

[Wolf Leather (Common) x 30]

[Wolf Meat (Common) x60]

[Wolf Fang (Common) x 46]

[Wolf King Meat (Uncommon) x 2]

[Wolf King Leather (Uncommon) x 2]

[Wolf King Fang (Uncommon) x 2]

The drops in Galaxy Wars were always items that need to be processed. So learning life skills that were crucial to survival was a must.

A few Hours Later....

[Time Remaining 0 Days 0 Hours 30 Minutes]

Everyone had a good feast and even Noel spent his time having fun as he will miss these people after the tutorial. The feast was still ongoing as most people were still dancing or chatting around the brightly lit bon fire.

Noel sighs as he heard,

[Ding! Time Remaining 0 Days 0 Hours 0 Minutes]
