Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

"Walker, do you think this could be an even more powerful enemy?" Su Ting asked in a low voice.

Chapter 555 Get to a safe place first

Walker gazed ahead, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Very likely. But whatever comes, we must unite to protect our home."

Suddenly, a series of rapid footsteps approached from afar, growing louder and louder. Everyone held their breath, watching the village entrance with bated breath. Soon, a group of even more ferocious monsters appeared, their bodies larger than the previous ones, their eyes gleaming with greed.

"Everyone, get ready for battle!" Su Ting shouted, his sword gleaming in the sunlight.

The villagers' fighting spirit was ignited, and they rallied together once again, ready to face a new round of battle.

Just then, a little boy ran out from the crowd, holding a small wooden sword in his hand, his eyes filled with determination. "I will fight alongside you and protect our home!" he shouted.

"Go back, child!" a villager quickly grabbed him. "It's too dangerous here. You should go to a safe place first."

"No, I also want to do my part for the village!" the little boy insisted.

Lucia walked over and gently stroked his head. "You're very brave, but right now the most important thing is to protect yourself. When you're older, you'll have more opportunities to contribute to the village."

The little boy glanced at her reluctantly, but ultimately heeded her advice and turned back to the safe area of ​​the village.

At this moment, the monsters rushed into the village, letting out deafening roars and waving their huge claws as they pounced on the villagers.

"Everyone, proceed according to the plan, don't panic!" Su Ting commanded.

The villagers quickly split into several groups and began a fierce battle with the monster. Walker led one group of warriors to fight head-on, while Sutin and Lucia led another group to attack from the flanks.

The battle was incredibly fierce, with everyone giving their all. Su Ting, with his precise swordsmanship, moved nimbly through the enemy ranks, each strike accurately hitting the monster's vitals. Lucia, on the other hand, displayed her agility, constantly dodging the monster's attacks while delivering deadly counterattacks with her longsword.

Just as the battle was raging, a particularly powerful monster suddenly appeared. It was almost twice the size of the other monsters and possessed astonishing strength. As soon as it appeared, it charged directly at Su Ting.

"Watch out!" Lucia shouted, trying to warn Su Ting, but it was too late.

Su Ting reacted quickly, dodging to the side and simultaneously slashing at the monster's arm with his sword. The monster roared in pain, but instead of retreating, it attacked even more frantically.

Seeing this, Walker immediately led several warriors to provide support. Together, they surrounded the powerful monster, attempting to hold it back. Meanwhile, Sutin and Lucia continued fighting other monsters, striving to protect the surrounding villagers.

The battle raged for some time, leaving both sides exhausted. But the villagers, with their unwavering will, gradually gained the upper hand. Although the monsters outnumbered them, they clearly hadn't anticipated such fierce resistance.

Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the powerful monster suddenly launched its final attack, swinging its massive claws and knocking a warrior to the ground.

"Karl!" Su Ting was startled when he saw his friend fall and immediately rushed to help him.

"Retreat!" Karl struggled to his feet, gritting his teeth as he said, "We can't let it hurt anyone else."

Su Ting nodded and quickly led the wounded soldiers to retreat. At this moment, Lucia also arrived to provide support, and she quickly helped Su Ting to take the wounded villagers away from the front line.

"We can't give up like this, we must defeat these monsters!" Su Ting said firmly.

Lucia looked at the soldiers around her, her eyes filled with determination: "We will win! Keep it up, everyone!"

A fierce battle ensued, dust billowing and blood swirling across the battlefield. Every face bore the marks of exhaustion and unwavering determination.

Finally, after a long and arduous battle, the monsters' offensive gradually weakened. The villagers seized the opportunity to launch a final assault, defeating the remaining monsters one by one.

When the last monster fell, the villagers cheered and celebrated their hard-won victory.

"We did it!" Lucia shouted excitedly.

"Yes, we succeeded..." Su Ting smiled slightly, but suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some unusual activity in the distance.

"Wait... what's that?" Lucia looked at the distance in confusion, where a new shadow seemed to be moving.

"No matter what, we will not back down," Su Ting said firmly. "We will continue to protect this land until the very last moment."

The two looked at each other, their hearts filled with boundless courage and determination.

As the shadows in the distance gradually came into focus, a group of even more bizarre monsters emerged from the woods. Their bodies were covered in twisted scales, and their eyes gleamed with a cunning and cruel light. The villagers' celebratory smiles froze on their faces.

“These guys look tougher.” Walker gripped his axe tighter, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"We can't let them into the village, or all our previous efforts will be wasted!" Su Ting shouted, waving his sword again to signal everyone to prepare for battle.

Lucia stood beside him, her longsword drawing an arc in the air: "We must protect the villagers, no matter the cost."

Just then, a young female hunter stepped out from the crowd, her bow and arrows already prepared. "Let me take care of the outermost few first, to buy you some time," she said, her voice firm and powerful.

“Thank you, Leah, but be careful, safety first.” Walker nodded to her, then turned back to encourage the other soldiers.

As Leah's bowstring twanged, a series of incredibly accurate arrows rained down on the approaching monsters, each strike eliciting a sharp roar. However, this only bought the village a brief advantage. Soon after, even more and faster monsters charged forward, seemingly unimpeded.

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly dire, an old priest slowly stepped out from the crowd, holding in his hands an ancient runestone that shone with a mysterious light. "This is the last line of defense left to us by our ancestors. Now we have no choice but to try."

The old man raised the rune high above his head and began chanting an ancient incantation. As he finished speaking, the entire rune instantly emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful yet unstable energy spread outwards. Enemies who came into contact with this energy were immediately thrown into chaos, their movements becoming sluggish and unpredictable.

"Now's the time! Attack!" Su Ting seized the opportunity and shouted the order.

Chapter 557 Until the Last Moment

Upon hearing the command, the warriors immediately launched a fierce attack on the chaotic monsters at top speed. Su Ting charged ahead, his longsword flashing in the night like a nimble dragon; Lucia followed closely behind, her movements agile and nimble, weaving through the dense crowd with ease, each strike aimed straight for vital points; the other main combatants also displayed great bravery, their teamwork remarkably seamless.

Just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, an unusual phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky: a huge dark cloud rapidly descended, and lightning tore through the sky like sharp blades. Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and even the ongoing battle paused for a moment.

"What is that... Could there be an even greater threat on the horizon?" someone muttered to themselves.

Immediately afterward, a deafening clap of thunder echoed from the dark clouds, and a colossal figure descended slowly amidst flashes of lightning and thunder—it was a giant dragon covered in thick, armor-like armor, its wings whipping up gusts of wind. Everyone stared in shock at this sudden new enemy, a tense atmosphere thickening in the air.

After landing, the dragon did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, it scanned all the creatures below with its golden pupils, finally fixing its gaze on the rune in the old priest's hand.

"The power of this rune... is it the last resort you left behind to fight against evil beings? But it is obviously impossible to drive out my race with just this faint light."

The old priest straightened his back: "We will not give up any hope. For the safety of this land and its people, we will not hesitate to sacrifice our lives!"

Su Ting and Lucia exchanged a determined look, then stepped forward together. "No matter how powerful the enemy is, we won't give up as long as there's a glimmer of hope. Come on, let's fight side by side to the very last moment!"

The dragon smiled slightly, "Interesting... It's been a long time since I've encountered such an interesting little insect." With that, it spread its wings and prepared to charge, and an even more intense battle with an unknown outcome was about to unfold.

"Are you ready?" Su Ting asked, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.

Lucia nodded in reply: "Always be prepared for challenges, that is our unwavering belief."

The dragon's wings flapped, casting a massive shadow over the entire battlefield. A tense atmosphere filled the air; the villagers' hearts nearly stopped. Leah held her bowstring taut, her gaze resolute and calm. She knew this was a critical moment; even the slightest mistake could be fatal.

"Listen to my command, everyone! Do not act rashly!" Su Ting shouted, his voice echoing in the wind. "We must wait for an opportunity."

The old priest still clutched the ancient runestone. Though he appeared frail, his eyes gleamed with unwavering determination. He slowly approached the dragon, as if to use his own body to shield this colossal foe.

"Step back, old man!" Walker roared, preparing to rush forward and pull the old priest back to safety.

The old priest shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I have to do this. This is our only chance."

The dragon's eyes lit up with curiosity; it seemed to have taken an interest in this unassuming old man. "Do you really think this little stone can pose a threat to me?" the dragon's deep voice seemed to come from all directions.

“We will not give up,” the old priest replied firmly. “The power left to us by our ancestors will protect this land.”

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed through the sky, and the dragon soared into the sky, followed by a massive storm. The villagers clung tightly to each other to avoid being blown away by the gale. Amidst the chaos, the old priest remained standing, the runestone in his hand glowing even brighter.

"The time has come!" Su Ting shouted, then charged towards the dragon, his sword tip pointing towards its heart. Lucia followed closely behind, her longsword flashing in a beautiful arc.

"Lia, are you ready?" Su Ting asked loudly.

Leah stared intently into the dragon's eyes, adjusting the angle of her bow and arrow: "Ready at any moment!"

The dragon let out a deafening roar, opening its massive jaws to devour everything in its path. At that very moment, Leah's arrow pierced the air, striking the dragon precisely in the eye. The dragon howled in agony, momentarily losing control of its movements.

"Now!" Lucia shouted, leaping forward and plunging her longsword into the dragon's chest. However, the beast's defenses far exceeded their expectations; the blade became stuck between the hard scales, unable to penetrate further.

"Damn it..." Su Ting gritted his teeth and swung his sword at the dragon's other wing. The dragon roared again, and with a powerful flap of its wing, sent Su Ting flying.

"Quick, help me!" Lucia tried her best to pull out the longsword, but she was clearly powerless.

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Leah rushed over, gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and together they managed to pull the sword out. The dragon took the opportunity to catch its breath and regain some strength.

“We can’t give it any chance!” Walker raised his axe, strode forward, and fiercely chopped at the dragon’s tail.

"You're all too weak..." the dragon sneered, its eyes flashing with a dangerous light. Suddenly, it swung its tail, throwing Walker aside, and then turned to pounce on the villagers.

"Get out of the way!" Su Ting shouted, rushing forward to block the dragon.

“We can’t continue to be passive like this!” Lucia looked at the old priest with a determined look in her eyes.

“I know a way,” the old priest said slowly, a hint of sadness in his eyes, “but it requires sacrifice.”

"Please tell me, no matter what!" Lucia said urgently.

The dragon's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and the village's defenses were on the verge of collapse. Just then, the old priest suddenly began chanting loudly, and the runestone in his hand shone brightly, as if even the dark clouds in the sky had been dispelled.

“This is…” Su Ting and Lucia exchanged a glance, sensing a powerful force gathering.
